The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Its a hump day!!! Gotta keep the eye on the prize- Halfway to Friday.

Today is the "big" day for boob smoosh round 2 :D
I am still confident everything will be fine, but wish me luck cuz there is always a chance my head will take over and I'll flip out on myself between now and my appt. (I promise.... I will *not* Google between now and then - I promise *pinky swear*)
I am meeting my BFF for lunch then off to the Breast Center. All of the insanity of yesterday kept my mind off of *everything* LOL

However, right now- my brain is a whirling twirling limp soggy clump of grey matter.

And I am late- gotta get the contacts in so I can drive and get Scott to the bus in the dark without running over squirrels, bears, garbage or people.

Be back in a few!!

Have some coffee while you are waiting :p
 
Cock-a-dooooodle-doooooo
Yup, I'm up with the chickens this morning! I've been having to set my alarm to wake DH because he sleeps through his alarm LOL...so this morning I woke up at 4:30 and saw no sense in going back to sleep for 40 minutes. I'm going back to bed for a little bit though and hopefully get to sleep a couple of hrs before off to Wally World ugh.

Chris-I'm sure everything will be fine, I'm sending out good vibes!

Alrighty all, I'm hopping back into bed! I'll be back later :). xoxoxoxo
 
I'll take you up on that coffee. This week has been crazy. Two nights of gymnastics, plus spelling homework, plus reading homework, plus "Get Hooked on Reading" at school. Tonight is my workout with Holly. Tomorrow night is swimming and Friday is trick-or-treat. Arghhh...

I will slip back in later this evening...I hope!
 
Dawn, good morning. You are up early! Glad to see you! And congrats on the Cheery-O's! You are a fantastic Cheery-O!!!
 
Chris, I'm sure that the mammogram will be great! I had mine yesterday...hoping for no callbacks! Let us know what you hear so we don't worry!
 
oh and my day just keeps getting better- I hope I am PMS-ing or I am really is deep doo-doo.
Yesterday Caitlyn came home and read me a letter from the school, about a Holiday Gift Card program the school runs. Its liek the ones you see in the malls, where you can pick out a person/gift request and be a Secret Santa type.... well, when Cait read it to me, I thought that they were *asking* for donations-- not asking me if I wanted to participate in the program-- as a recipient.

I had even said to her, that I wished we could donate, but this year I have to save the money for ourselves- but maybe next year we could.
I lost it- I never wanted to be a "person in need." I want to be able to provide for my family...
this kills me....

(In case you haven't noticed, I have a *very* hard time asking for help- even from my family- let alone strangers...)

I don't know what to do. I feel terrible about accepting anything, but at the same time, I know it might ease the burden - even a tiny bit.

Like for my SIL's b-day last week, I got her a Giants cup from 5 Below- for $3 and filled it with Hershey Kisses (blue and silver no less LOL) and then the kids and I wrote reason why we love her and put them in the cup with the Kisses. Granted the gift came from the heart... but I wished I could have gotten her something more- I HATE having to try to fit what I want to get for people into my non-existant budget.

Omg-- I am so rambling....

I should be paying all of you for therapy- heck- just bill medicaid........

:(
 
time for the attention to be on someone other than me... sorry that i tend to monopolize. Sheesh...

Since I missed out on Clara 2 days in a row, I am going to start with her :)

hahah! I picked up on that "lame" last week- you are so funny. I can hear you saying it and rolling your eyes at the same time- then ending with a sigh.
Lame:rolleyes:sigh
So with ya on the swine flu- seriously- keep your kid home, keep in touch with the dr if needed, and go to the dr if there is a serious issue.
Caitlyn had an upset stomach the other day- I did keep her home even tho there was no fever, but that was it. And please! Abx will not help the swine flu so don't bug the dr for them!!
hee hee- ya got me ranting along with you.

Dawn- hahahhaa!!! I love Clara's posts too- she is almost as wacky as me.

Clara- LOL at the parallel universe- sometimes I think that there are several of them out there (too much Fringe LOL) And yay for herxing! Scott bit my head off over something this morning, *but* came back to apologize- so he's getting it a bit....

garlic pills- Yes! I have to go dig up the site that I found about swine flu and garlic- I promise to re-find it and post it for everyone.

Dawn- yes, a little green pill- once a week for 4 weeks.
*waves hi to Davy*

Linda W- hi girl!!!!

off and running....

xoxoxoxoxo!
 
Good morning ladies!!!

I never made it back yesterday for Personals...BOO!!! :(

I just had a million things...JUGGLING THOSE BALLS

I was happy about getting my closet in my BR cleaned out YAY!! All the summer clothes are out...although...if the HOT weather continues...I will be downstairs this weekend dragging them back up!! suppose to be 75 today!!

Chris...my dear....I know that your 2nd mammo will be JUST FINE!! ~~thinking/sending good mammo vibes~~ and know need to worry about our charges we work pro-bono....LOL!! Nah...we love you and want to hear/help any way we can!!:p IKWYM about the accepting gifts when things are so tough...I am not crazy about it either, and DH is way worse than me!! We have had times when we need this kind of help...it was hard...but trust me...they would not do it if they did not want to!! and honey don't worry about the other stuff..with the way things are right now..most people are not able to contribute!! IT's tough!!

LINDAS...or should we call you Sally no 2!! Wow those kiddos have you running!! I remember!!...I think now I am glad I was young...I don't think I would have the energy now....again...great thing about being the NANA...just give them back when you get too tired!!

Dawn...WEEEEEEEEEEE you are up early!!! But kwym about waking up and no need to go back to sleep for such a few minutes...I do it all the time!!
Well my little rooster friend...have a fab day!!

I see Dawn has already come up with her little bling under her name...I have been racking my brain to come up with something for mine...HELP me girls...all I can think of is The NanO
 
Yeehaw! now there's lots of posts :). And I still haven't been to Wally World, LOL, just got up a few minutes ago.

Chris-(((((hugs))))) Don't you worry about sharing with us, that's what friends are for! I know what you mean about gifts from the heart...when DH and I were in our early 20s we couldn't afford anything more than just gifts for the kids...it just killed me to not have something to exchange with my family and his...so I used my craft talents to make things. I made crosstitched ornaments one year, crosstitched handtowels another, etc..then I got into woodwork and woodburning and made things from that. I know they probably got sick of my junk and it really hurt me to not do more, but that's what Christmas is about, giving from the heart.

LindaW- good morning girlfriend! I think 'The Nana-O' would be perfect for you! Have a fantastic day with your nice weather! Ours isn't too bad today up to 65 and partly cloudy but tomorrow starts more rain.

LindaS-sounds like an extremely busy day for you! Hope it's a great one!

Clara...oh Clara, where are you? LOL. Hi to ya whenever you pop in :).

Hello to everyone who pops in!
Ok, I'm off to Wally World, ew. Love you all!
 
Good morning ladies.

I am all snuggled up in my bed and ready to go back to bed. Right not I think if I were to slice out my throat if would still feel better than it does right now. And the coughing is that deep coughing that feels like it is coming from your toes. Ow. No...no swine. LOL!! Last night my husband was so sweet. At 1 something he got up and got me all drugged up with some tylenol and sudafed and all that good stuff. He looked everywhere for some codeine to see if he could get my cough to settle down but it looks like we are all out, which is fine, since I don't love codeine. Then again this morning before he went to work he got me a drugged up again. When I got up to get Ethan ready for school the kitchen was all pretty and I knew he had worked out so I called him and found out he never went back to sleep after the first time. Poor guy.

Tonight Ethan is off to my parents' house. He is soooo excited. We got him all packed and stuff. he was ready to pack all of his stuff over the weekend. he was pretty cute about it. It is funny when he goes up there because he totally just vegs out. A lot of the time he'll just sit in front of the TV the entire time and do nothing and they are totally cool with that. It is almost like he needs to decompress from being a big brother all the time. It is kinda cute.

Well, that's all I've got for the day...but I want to give some love before I crash out.
 
Dawn...have fun at walmart..ughhh...i hate it!!!

Clara (((HUGS))) sweetie..I hope you feel better!! I know that cough...I told my dr I hate that they don't make the GOOD cough medicine anymore!!...

It's funny about Ethan...they like to have the alone time...younger siblings are hard to take sometimes for them...and it's not their fault they are there!! LOL!! Cameran has been trying to convince his mommy that Savannah doesn't need to stay at Nana's..but he does...LOL!!!
 
Okay...I am off...almost feeding time...and Jesse just got here...his mommy had an appt...and I get to cuddle!! YAY!! Jesse is a lovebug!!! He's is so big for his age...but he loves to cuddle like a little baby!!...He just said..."Nannie...I love you...can I have a sippie cup please?" and then kissed me...Awe...makes my day:D
 
Chris - if you didn't share with us or "monopolize" as you want to call it today we wouldn't have anything to talk with you about silly. We'd know nothing about you dorkus!!!! So have fun at the boobie-squishie appointment. I'm guessing they are doing some magnification views and squishing apart those calcifications. Fun times. And what would life in your world be if not a difficult mammo? To be expected. Yay for BFF lunches. Those are always fun. Now as far as getting gift cards...dang it lady(stupid family friendly forum) say thank you and just be grateful. You deserve this. You work so hard to take care of you family and have been given some rough breaks that you did not deserve or ask for and if someone wants to give you guys a break AWESOME. It is not a hand out it is the worlds way of coming together and knowing that it is your turn to get a break. Sometimes it is our turn to give and other times it is our time to receive. For some reason receiving is harder than giving but also a very important part of the give and take process. Givers can't be givers all the time and the takers can't be takers all the time. Once in awhile the roles need to switch up and you need to go with the flow. It is your turn is all. AND the gifts you give might not cost very much but I bet you put at least twice as much thought and effore into them as anybody else puts into their gifts who may spend 10X as much and people see and feel that when they open them so don't you worry your pretty little head over it. I'm guessing when you give somebody hershey kisses you actually think of them as little chocolate kisses, don't you? Not just a bag of chocolate, which is why you pick them over a different candy, right? A lot more thought.
 
Dawn - I used to do handmade stuff to. I still do, just because I like to do it. What do you mean go back to bed for 40 minutes? You got u p at 4:30? You are unemployed!! What in the heck do you have to be up so stinking early for? Go back to bed lady!! Walmart will be there all day!!! Good luck with that by the way. I will not be going there today under any circumstances. No way on earth could you get me to go there!!
 
LindaS - I'll pray for no callbacks for you too. And kudos to you for going and getting it done. Gold stars for you!! Good luck with the rest of your crazy week and your work out tonight.
 
LindaW - I think you should be Nana-O for sure. That is too cute about Cameran thinking he needs you all to himself. That has to be so hard for him to share his special nana time with her. he already has to share his time with his parents. Ethan was always really good about it. That is one really cool part about my parents living where they do is that we aren't over there all the time so they will do weekends away and stuff so it is just a different set up. It is like a little vacation for him to go up there. They live a little over an hour away. It would be awesome if they lived closer but since they don't I'll use up whatever positives i can with them living where they do I guess. It is t he same with my sis. They both will do weekends with both of the kids, sometimes together sometimes seperate. it works. I hope you have a less crazy day today.

Girl, I have to wake DH up or he won't get up....he has bad sleep apnea, I mean really, really bad...surgery is his only hope and the doctors said he'd have to have probably 5 surgeries and that's not even a guarantee...they said his best option is a trach. The only way he can really sleep good is on his stomach, on the FLOOR, with his forehead up against the mattress...he had to take the mattress and boxsprings off the frame because he kept falling out of bed when he would be struggling for air so the mattress is close to the floor to prop his head up and keep his airway straight so he can breathe a bit better. When DS lived here still he would get him up because they both left for work at 6am...so now it's up to me to make sure he gets up or he wouldn't most of the time....plus I've not been sleeping through the night..I'm staying up til 12:30-1am then tossing and turning til I pass out from exhaustion even then I'm up and down. dang stress over $$ you know how it is I'm sure. I don't wanna be dependent on Ambien so I only take them when I just gotta sleep LOL. So far, so good at least I don't have to work LOL.

WM wasn't too bad, I actually enjoy it some now that I have so much more time on my hands....Amanda and I browsed around the cookware and electronics. I'm even enjoying cooking again....can you believe it? DH is in Heaven, he had been doing all of the cooking for quite a while...there just werent enough hrs in the day for me and he gets off earlier than I did. Now, when it gets closer to Christmas WM will be evil again LOL.
 
I found the cutest cat toy at WM...it is a very realistic looking mouse with catnip in it and it squeaks everytime you touch it....I got it for Amanda's kitty and she loooooves it! Both she and Sassy were a little spooked by it at first until they figured out it wasn't real. My cats aren't into hunting I guess LOL. Well, Sassy had that bad experience eating one that had been poisoned and had to have Vitamin K shots to thicken her blood back up soooo I guess that's why. Now give her a blue-tailed lizard and she'll take 'care' of it....chase it and bat at it until it leaves its tail behind. I hate when I go to do some heavy duty cleaning and find a lizard tail under something! YUCK. We get them in the house all the time.
 
Ooooooh...I hate WM at Christmas time. I do as much of my shopping online as possible. The hard part is my regular shopping for things like groceries. Ugh!!
