hello, hello and happy Oz day to my dag friends :aussieflag

Its Wednesday and we are prepping for our next snow storm. Is it ever going to end? It has to right?? Soon??
If it goes as predicted, we might be getting 6-12" of heavy wet snow, which may mean yet another snow day (and no work for me) tomorrow.
I miss my Work at home job!!!!

Hi laurie! No worries when you don't get to all personals, we all have times when we can't. And IKWYM, I think of you guys all of the time!

Kristy- nice to be able to come home from DMV with money! Woot!

Kayleigh- sounds like you are doing all the right stuff for Kayleigh! IIRC, BF babies gain weight more slowly than bottle fed in the first couple of week, but they catch up after that. And not all babies are chubby- Scott was the skinniest thing- still is LOL

Trudy- your splints look sort of what my invisaligns did, but they act like my retainer/nightguard. I can tell at night when I am stressed that I really bite down on it a lot, but when I wake up I don't have that headace and jaw ache. Hope it works for you too.
Tip for you too- When I had my invisaligns, they cut the inside of my mouth up quite a bit in the beginning. If that happens, you can use a little bit of wax (like for braces) to cover the edges until you get used to them.
Are you drooling allover theplace too? LOL

Meg- hope you survived your mtg, and that all of you are feelingbetter! Glad to hear your BIL made it to you safely.

Gotta run..... be back later!

xoxox
 
morning all - no snow storm here- warm again will be 29 degrees. I am sure I will have a busy day but tomorrow is my day off- just wanted to say- day 40 2mi- I made my goal!
 
Back for a bit- letting my hair dry a little before I hit it with the hair dryer. My mop of hair is so dry and tangled. This is me~>:scared:

Laurie- so luck for no snow. Ii just heard on the radio that it is starting to snow already over parts of NJ. It wasn't supposed to start until the oafternoon. yay rah /snark

anyway- you keep it up and as soon as I can, I am going to be back moving with ya!

Clara- :rofl: I forgot about the shopping cart!!! Oh that made me smile!!
TY for reminding me how far we have come. Its easier to see it with Scott- (what a difference) but it is harder to see it for Gary and I. but you are right. Its been baby steps, esp for him, but looking back we are better today.
I saw that Ethan liked his new school!! That is soooo awesome high fives!
That is a great idea for volunteering too. And who knows, if just might be a foot in the door for an job in the future.

hugs and loves to you all!
 
Good Morning all...:rain: again here today, guess that's why we call it the Wet Coast!! Day off today so I am going to try to get to the rest of the Challenges today. Not much else happening here. Hubby is very busy at work, a 18yr. old native girl has gone missing, so he is up to his neck with dealing with that. It doesn't look to good, its been 3days now and all they have found is her cell phone, which she was constantly on. I sure feel sorry for the family, they must be frantic!! Don't know what I would do if it were my daughter. Poor Gary has a bad cold too, so its not making his days go by any better either.

Chris - More snow??? You must be so tired of shoveling, I think that we should hop on a plane and join our Aussie friends and celebrate their holiday with them!! My splints are feeling pretty good actually and don't rub on my gums at all, they are just meant to keep my jaw relaxed and so far it seems to be working, I did have a headache this morning, but the dr. told me that it might get worse before it gets better. Really needed to get them out of my mouth last night when I got home, so gave myself a break from them for a bit last night.

Laurie - Hope that you get to do all you want to on your day off tomorrow, and wow, good for you for getting in 2 miles, you go girl!!

Will try to pop in later, to catch up. Hope everyone has a great day :wave:
 
Hey ladies I'm still in bed, I got to force Jeff out of bed for his shower, but now I'm getting all cozy again myself! Have to get up for a family bfast since BIL is visiting grrr.

Chris I hope you don't get burried in the snow!!!!!

Laurie congrats on making your goal!!!!

Trudy I hope your hubby feels better soon, and that the missing girl turns up safe. There's a missing four year old boy here in California.... His moms ex kidnapped him... The outlook is very grim.
 
Hi there my O family!!!!

It's Raining/Sleeting/Snowing...and it's 33 degrees....so who knows what will happen!!! I just know it's too yucky messy to go out there!!! BLECK!!!!!

LAURIE....................YOU ROCK GIRL!!!! :clap2:
CHRIS...................Oh we are getting the same storm....it stretches up most of the East Coast this time!! we are predicted for 4-7 inches tonight. I wish I had a work at home job too....well....something besides babysitting!!!! I have never had any luck though finding anything.

TRUDY....I am happy to see that you have finally gotten your splint..SURE TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH!! Thought your US Sis was gonna have to come :boxing: for you :mrgreen: How sad about that girl!!! I had a good cry myself last night over a 19 yo boy (in the next county over) that went missing Thursday night...they found his car at Walmart and after reviewing all the security footage from there, they discovered he left with a friend...they questioned the friend yesterday and he admitted to murdering the boy....it's so sad!!! I hope there is better news for this girl!!!

Meg.....I remember the days of loving to snuggle back into the bed....but as you get older.....you body is begging you get up.....I get too sore if I stay in bed too long!!!! I HATE GETTING OLD!! :hurt:

Okay...gonna run.....hope you all have a great day!!:nod:
 
Good afternoon ladies! I've been on but I haven't really talked much so here goes!

So Kaylyn is adjusting really well. She is starting to eat more at one time and sleep for longer. It's weird how fast she is developing. She's only a week old and she's already rolling herself over and she's reaching for things. She has started to smile when my mom tickles her and she has her own little ways of letting us know when she is mad about something. She isn't really a crier (THANK GOODNESS!!). She only cries when she is hungry or cold. We're still trying to figure out how to gage her temperatures and when to bundle her up, sometimes she get's too hot and gets mad and then other times she's too cold and gets mad so it's hard to tell. She is the sweetest thing though, the way she looks at me sometimes it's like she has something to say. I'm so happy to finally be able to hold her!!

Mario's son was born on Jan 23rd. Kaylyn's little brother was bigger then she was! He looks exactly like Mario and is completely adorable. I know a lot of you don't know the situation but for those of you who do, things are going very very well. They named him Xander Eric =]

I would have to say the only thing I've been having real trouble with is my healing process. I didn't end up having a c-section like I thought I was going to so I tore really really bad. I had to get 3 different layers of stitches and it hurts a lot. It's getting to that point where it's just starting to heal so it's driving me nuts!!!

As far as the breast feeding is concerned, my right breast is getting what I think are calcium build ups, it feels like rocks in there. She has a hard time latching on to the left side so I have up having her actually "breast feed" I pump all the time so she is still getting breast milk but I can't sit there and watch her struggle. I'd rather make sure she is getting what she needs.

Chris - More snow?? I'm kind of jealous. Here they don't really get a lot. I miss my mountains. I can't wait to move back to Reno!

Trudy - How scary! I would lose my mind =[

Meg - When is your BIL leaving? You don't seem very happy about the visit lol
 
Hey ladies!

So, this early morning thing is not for me. I was so glad my mom was here this morning and I went back to bed but starting tomorrow, if Addie is awake I have to stay up. Last night Derek and I finally got to go and see the most recent Harry Potter. It was great but now I want to see the rest of it and I forgot about the way HP ended. I haven't read the books in so long and it was a sad part. I can't believe how much of it I've forgotten. I better get back to it. Derek had really wanted to take Ethan to see it but the further along they get in the series the scarier and more grown up they get as does Harry and this one especially was just way too much for him. The last one was too much for him. The first 2 were okay but after that I think he will need to be much older and until he has ready them all he won't be seeing them. Once he can read them all he can see them. But Derek and I just really haven't had anyone to watch the kids so that we could see it ourselves. That is one of many things I miss about having my family around. We used to tag team with the kids. I'd stay home with my mom or the guys would stay home or whatever. If just Derek and I wanted to go out we'd still get a sitter or if all of us wanted to but we would still all mix it up and do stuff, or if derek and I wanted to take just ethan or addie somewhere the other would hang out with gma or gpa. We definitely don't have that here.

So, my mom left today. Ethan had a really hard time with that last night and this morning. Poor kid. He cried and cried. It took a long time but Derek and I worked hard to try and get him to rework his thinking to not focus so much on the loss of things and what he doesn't have but to focus more on what he does have. He had 2 weeks alone in Washington, then a week with her here. then both my mom and sister already have tickets bought for their next trips. So we talked about what we should do when they come back out. So when my sis comes I think we will go to Myrtle Beach or the Outer banks or someplace like that and when my mom comes we will have her teach us how to plant a tomato garden. Plus Addie is going back with my sister (now that is freaking me out - her first trip away for more than a night or two) and coming back with my mom so Ethan gets to be the only child for 9 days. That is exciting for him. Then this morning he was spazzing out not wanting to go to school because he wanted to take my mom to the airport, but she had rented a car, so no one was going. Silly boy. I think he was okay by the time he left for school though. He had a great day at school yesterday. His teacher sent him home with some info of things he needed to work on and he seems pretty on track with things. That makes me happy. Yay!! His math is right on track...just needs to keep pounding away at his multiplication. Whoohoo!!

Anyway, ramble ramble ramble...

Chris - good luck bunkering down for yet another snow storm. We just got rain. Reminds me of home. LOL!! You are right about the volunteering. I had the exact same thought. People are much more likely to hire the people they know than those they don't. And my unemployment will run out eventually. So, I gotta do something and I gotta get out of this house. Hey...I saw you are planning a SPRING craft show. Did I hear that right...you are planning something for spring? as in after winter? as in the winter will come to an end? Whoohoo!! I sent you a FB message. Check it out.

Laurie - you are my hero!!! 2 miles for 40 days. Wow!!! Enjoy your day off. I hope you enjoy a few sluggish moments before turning into your whirlwind self.

Trudy - I need to do some challenges too. Thanks for reminding me. I am so glad you finally got you splints. About time. I hope they really help a lot and I am glad you can already tell a difference even if you sometimes need a break. I am sending prayers for the family of the missing girl and your husband who is working through it with the sickies. I hope he gets well quickly.

Meg - BIL grrr or getting up grrrr? or both? Just wait it out and eat some leftover orange chicken and stay in bed.

Linda - I hope you get some warm in bed time. I hope I never get too old to snuggle up in bed. I would be forever depressed because my bed is my favorite place EVER!!! I love to sleep. I love to let the kids crawl all over me when I don't want to wake up. I love lazy mornings in bed. If getting older means I won't like that...well, phooey on that!! Getting old can kiss my you know what!!!

OKay, that is all, except for...

Kayleigh - if you hop in...check what I wrote for you at the end of yesterday. Just a little BF tip for you on the no bottle days.

Okay, peace out ladies!!
