Happy Wednesday!
I am going to post this quick here, b/c if I don't I'll completely forget that i want to blog about it.
Last night, i was driving home after dropping Cait off at gymnastics. I live in the boonies of North Jersey and the sky was so clear and you could see so many stars. Then "Imagine" came on the radio.....it was such a peaceful moment, looking at the stars, a beautiful song. I got out of my car and just looked up. I didn't feel cold and cranky - I felt a bit of joy and awe at the Universe. yay!!!

Now- let me see if I can channel that Joy at Shoprite today ;)

Linda S- Isn't that great (the quote)? I thought it summed up what Merkee had said so perfectly about joy. Hope that you had a great and relaxing day!

Trudy- My house has been too quiet too and I only had the 2 kids back to school. My mom says the same thing whenever we leave from her lake house. She and my dad are used to being there alone, but when we come up, kids, dogs, guitars- and then we go, they really hate it.
You are going to have sooo much fun at Disney!! Wish i could go with you!!

Nana- oh so happy to hear mom is improving. Were you able to see her at all yesterday?
Gah!!!!!!! How could they lose Jesse??? I would have been freaking out!!!!! I had a kid hide on me when I first started teaching- he decided that the wanted to stay out on the playground and he hid when I did my "sweep." I can't tell you how panicked *I* was and he wasn't my kid. And i knew he had to be soemwhere.... oh yikes... glad it all turned out ok for your little guy.

Katrina- will be checking out your pics in a few!!! Thanks for posting :)

Meg- that is so great about your sales!!! woooot!

Sally- I shouldn't laugh, but I have too. Did Cora ever find the curriculum?

Clara- oh my fingers are crossed for good renters for you. There is one house, across the street from me that has renters come and go, and each set seems worse than the next. Already, less than 24 hrs of moving in, police and EMTs were there, and then a fight out in the middle of the street with the guy and the mom.
That Addie- she is so much like you, isn't she??
Hope that you feel better too- this time of year so hard to get energy going. Have you tried b12? Oh yeah, didn't derek used to IV you? Or was that just fluids?
I thought of what you said last night too- it didn't seem quite as dark when I took Cait to gymn. as it did before the holidays- a minute or so every day of more light!

Ohh meg- That Riley- she is so cute! How can you resist puppy growls LOL
Good luck with the loan payments. I have to tell people, Campbell- like the soup.....I'm tell you- it was funny seeing people 's faces w/ my maiden name Iantosca..... but I seem to have just as much trouble w/ Campbell.

Kayleigh- you'd better stick around and scrap pics of that sweet baby girl! Hope she comes easily for you.

i wish for my O-Fam tons of joy!
 
Good morning all. Haoyi (our foreign exchange student from 2 years ago) is in town this week and she's coming to supper tonight. We are excited to see her!

Chris, can I just tell you how much I appreciate your faithfulness in starting this thread every morning! If I'm up way early, I look around the rest of the site knowing that Chris will have the thread opened soon! ((hugs)) So glad that you took the time to look at the stars...what an awesome thing! Good job by you!

Didn't scrap last night. Got home from work late...but Brian had supper on the table when I walked in and had already worked with both kids on homework. There was still more when I got home but not all of it!

Linda, I'm so glad to hear about the good news on your mom. I do understand how difficult that is. Mom has her PET scan next Thursday...

Trudy, just a few more days until vacation! What a great plan to have built in this nice vacation so soon after Christmas! I was thinking that my next holiday isn't until the end of May...I need to plan a vacation!

Meg, glad that you've found a shop that is better for you!

Clara, hope that you really get to feeling better soon!

Ok...off to leave a little bit of love in the gallery.
 
Morning all, happy Hump Day!! Hey, gotta celebrate the small things. ;-) Hope you are all having a good week. Things are fine here. My doctor's office is scheduling my C-section today so I should have a delivery date by the end of this week. Crazy, but awfully exciting.

Linda - I remember your stories about your foreign exchange student. Enjoy your visit with her. Is she is college now? Wow, I cannot believe she lived with you all 2 years ago.

Hi Chris - that sounds like such a blissful moment in the car last night.

Love to you all!!
 
Personals from where I left off yesterday:

Katrina...those photos are awesome sweetie!! CONGRATS ON THE NEW CAMERA!!

Meg....You are making me sweat!!! All that excercising!!! BRAVO!!!!! Proud of you!!!!

Sal....did you find the History??? 11:30???? GOOD GRIEF!!!! I hear ya on the home schooling....but that is just not possible!! Jesse needs the structure, but Traci is not capable of doing that for him. It would be nice though!!!

Clara...oh I bet Ethan is over the moon about his trip!!! I hope he has a wonderful time!!! GOOD LUCK with the school stuff too!! and BTW...it's NOT normal for a house to be set up like this for heat....sounds like the house had one of them in when it was built and the other added later for extra heat. If you can get away with just the Gas, I would leave the heat pump off. YAY for Addie's dance class!! I can so see her dancing!!!!

Kayleigh....HOW EXCITING the baby will be here soon!!!! Can't wait to see the little one!!! Make sure you keep popping back in and let us know!!!

Meg...BWAHAHAHAHAH about the growlling!!!!!

TODAY:

Chris....I am happy to see that the JOY is filling you up!!!! How wonderful!!! Keep it up and you may get totally warm before this winter is over sweetie!!!!

LindaS....I will be thinking of you and your Mom and praying!!! I want good results for her!!! WOOO HOOO YAY FOR BRIAN and supper and the homework!!! HE ROCKS!!! and have a fabulous dinner with Haoyi!!!

ME....WOOOT yay for planning!!! C-sections are harder on the body, but easier for the planning phase!!!! HOW EXCITING!!!!


Okay....no heart stopping stories today..thank goodness!!! But Mom is home today!!! YAY!!!!!! I did not get to the hospital to see her yesterday either...and with the kiddos I can't go to her house, I don't want to chance taking her any germs. They are setting her up with three new Drs...they are still not sure why her heart rate and blood pressure dropped like that. But she is better and that is the main thing right now!!

I am going to have to get back to the Dr myself....my hacking and congestion in my chest is getting worse again!!! I have talked to several people around here that have been through this too....the thought is that it's viral and it is being passed back and forth....Savannah has had it all along too...and I was so much better and then she was back with me on Monday...sooooooooooooo....I am believing this may be the case...I don't feel bad again..thank goodness....but I just want to clear up this congestion and cough!!!!

Okay...I am off to make Cameran's Party Invitations....He is having a bowling party, so I had to find a good kit last night!! I did..YAY!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Good morning ladies! How is everyone doing today? I'm hoping that here in the next few days I have baby pictures to show off but if this little girl is anything like me, she will be stubborn and wait forever.

Chris ~ I will!!! I'm so happy to be back. It feels great to have a creative outlet again =]
 
Hey ladies!

I have to hop in and out real quick. I am about to take Ethan to the airport in Charlotte. It is so far away. Derek is being airheaded and difficult and not remembering anything he is supposed to for me. Kinda frustrating...just not leaving when we are supposed to and now all of a sudden he tells me he's on call tonight. So, he's getting here late and will have to rush through goodbyes with Ethan since he's not coming to the airport, and I think I'll have to take Addie in the car for 5-6 hours. Lovely. Gotta love husbands.

I am very excited for Ethan though. He can't wait. Now I just have to get him set up in school while he is gone. The school is rated a 7 out of 10. I found the report card last night. I don't love the report card, but it will do. Okay...on longer than I meant to be, but will try and stop in again later. Hugs.
 
hey everyone- prayers and positive thoughts please-have some personal issues going on and I could use some uplifting
 
Good afternoon ladies... Oh, Oh Laurie hope everything is ok?? Of course I am sending you my best thoughts and prayers, whatever you need sweetie!!

Everyone else, hope your day is going well. I am just quickly in here to say hey and then I spending the rest of the day scrapping and doing housework. Love to you all! I will also try to leave much love today in the gallery, have been very absent from doing that.
 
Laurie -- thoughts and prayers on their way to you right now!!!

Good morning... well, good afternoon ladies!!!!

more cardio boxing this morning, I even got Jeff to do it too!!! We only did 20 minutes, but I feel pretty darn good.

I'm off to go fulfill CT obligations this morning and get in an application to a shop that... I feel is way too good for me, but I have a new friend who is one of their mega active members who probably will push me off a cliff if I don't apply.
