CHEERY O
It is Thursday! I can finally see a glimpse of the weekend LOL
I am working today at MIL's, gonna be doing yard work so I can get all of my aggressions out on the crabgrass :p

Good news- the cognitive therapist for Scott called- he is going to start seeing her this Tuesday, i am so relived and thankful.
But get this- this is going to be my day on Tues.

9 am: Meeting with the Bd of Ed for him to be readmitted to school
11 am: my very first mammogram
4 pm: Therapy session with Scott

(6 pm- huge glass of wine w/ dinner-- priceless!!)

I guess this is what Sally means when she says that I still have hope in my posts. If only all of life's issues could be solved with coffee, chocolate and wine LOLOL!!!

Linda W- thanks so much darlin'! No need to cross your nose, you might need that to type next week!
Have fun getting your hair done. aaahhh! the best part is when they shampoo you- heaven!

Merkee- waves hi! BTW- I loved doing your Oct Got IT! The word art is fab Everybody- go check it out if you haven't!
Oct GOT IT Challenge - IT's All About You!!

Sally-in some weird way, knowing that my venting lifts *your* spirits, lifes *my* spirits. I guess b/c you see the hope in there that I don't see. But if you see it- I know it is there, even if I can't see it ATM.
Did that make *any* sense??
IKYKWIM! LOL
Sorry to hear that you had to fire your maids, but its all for the good, right? Yay!

Clara- ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) One of Gary's best friends was at Fresh Kills after 9/11 recovering remains. And that is all he will ever say to anyone, including his wife, that he was there. End of story. I am glad that Derek was able to talk to you a bit about it, as hard as it is to hear. I think that they need to get that out. It worries me that men hold all of that in.
But I guess OTOH, talking about it makes it too "real"

Oh and Clara- I got your PM-- and mean tot reply and then got distracted (who me?) but guess what I was listening to yesterday?? The Rent sound track- that is always my "go-to" inspiration when I am down and discouraged!!! So funny that you thought of No Day But Today too!

Great great and happy news about the baby!!! Focus on new life!!

Di- ((((((((hugs!!!))))))))) Glad things went better with DD than you expected. And I am really glad that you are posting and venting here as well.

Dawn-hope you and Davy are doing great- is s/he so happy to have you home all day?
Yes, goober is right... he did it on a dare, ugh!!!

Fine Sally- rub your flip-flop weather in my face!
Its is in the 60's and I am freezing.

LOL Clara!!!

ME- hope things work out smoothly with Christian- he sounds like he is very smart and knows what he wants. Not always easy to channel that in the direction that you want, but you'll get there :)

To anyone I missed or who comes in later, Love you all!!

Have a fab and fun day!
 
Hey ladies,

Chris - good luck with everything! Hoping it all works out for you and Scott. That is awesome news about the therapy sessions starting.

I am having lunch today with two former co-workers today - it will be good to see them and catch up. We are going to my fave Thai restaurant. Delish.

Have a fab day!!
 
HellooO beautiful friends!

I wanted to pop in before the rain shuts off my internet again...LOL...so far it's still up but you never know :). Yesterday was the only day this wk there was no chance of rain.
Good news is it'll stop one day and it's not pouring just kind of drizzling right now...but feels sooo cold. Reminds me that it is Fall and not Summer. It kind of puts a damper on what I wanted to do this wk, I wanted to go for a drive and snap some pics...oh well, there's always next wk :).

I'll be back for personals, rain permitting LOL. Just know I love you all! (((hugs)))
 
Good morning ladies!!

Thursday. Thursday is good. That means tomorrow is Friday which is really good. Thursday is always a bit crazy because Ethan has piano lessons so his dad drives him to me then we rush over to his lesson and get home late. DH hates after work run around stuff but I grew up with that stuff so to me it seems like what we are supposed to do. My sis and I were always in sports and stuff and my mom would drive us there and my dad would pick us up. But I have dinner all together and in the crock pot...black eyed peas and corn bread. the neighbor is making the cornbread. It will be yummy. Mmmmmm... My mouth is watering thinking about it.

So, why is Friday so great?? Oktoberfest baby!!! Whoohoo!! So, I already gave you the run down on why it annoys me about Oktoberfest in October, blah blah blah!!! But who cares!! We are leaving the kids at home going to the other side of the mountains and eating good food and drinking good beer in a little authentic town called Leavenworth. Even the McDonalds has a Bavarian sign out front. We used to stay down the road a couple of blocks but now we stay right in the middle of town in the middle of everything going on, across the street from a beirgarten and everything is walking distance so no driving or anything. Then we are sharing our room with some friends and carpooling over to cut down on cost. It is going to be a blast. I am so excited. Whoohoo!!! It will be awesome. I am only working a half day so after the morning patients are done I will hop in my car, go get Derek and then start making our way over. I still have to find the pic of Ethan's first beer glass he stuck in his stroller.

So, I'm trying to figure something out with Addie. She's always been a good sleeper. She'd go to bed at a decent time, then sleep until a decent time. Then she started getting up early with dh when he goes to work and has since started getting up early. Ugh!! Not loving that. When she learned how to get out of her crib and we had to turn her crib into a bed we also had to start lock the door. Lately she has started wanting her door left open, which is fine as long as she stays in her bed. BUT now that her door is open she wakes up in the middle of the night and comes into our bed. We don't usually notice but then she is sooooo cranky in the morning. Do any of you notice that if your kids sleep in your bed they don't sleep as well during the night? She wakes up in the morning in a horrible mood when she comes to our bed. Also she always wants hers light on which is a whole other issue. It is a very recent change and it just seems weird. Not sure if my rambling there made any sense but it makes sense in my mind so I guess that gets to be good enough, right?? LOL!

Okay, enough of my crazy ramblings and on to some personals...on a seperate post.
 
Clara-sounds like you're gonna have fun!! Thinking about cornbread is making me hungry...I skipped lunch because we are going to a Chinese buffet and I wanna be good and hungry. So, Clara, can you speak German? I think that is so cool!!!

Chris-LOL(sorry can't help it) about Scott's 'dare', I do hope he thinks twice next time! I think 'dare' should be spelled t.r.o.u.b.l.e. haha That's fab news about the therapist, I hope he will open his mind and get something out of it. Sounds like you have a full day planned, ugh, to the mammo (they really aren't that bad but still) a necessary evil I guess.

LindaW-where are you? i hope your absence doesn't mean you feel worse :(.

Hi Sally!!! Di!!! Merkee!!! ME!!! Ona!!! LindaS!!! I hope everyone has the best day possible :). I'm tickled there's a break in the rain woohoo!!! And my internet didn't go down this time :). big big ((((hugs)))) to all!
 
Chris - Tuesday sounds like a pretty interesting day. I didn't realize that Scott had been kicked out of school completely temporarily. Poor mom. He won't give you a break will he. Scott - give your mom a break kiddo!! I'm glad you get to kick the crap out of your MIL's lawn. I wish I enjoyed yardwork but I hate it. I'm far too lazy for yard work. Doing the day to day dishes and laundry is hard enough that throwing in something like yardwork is like asking me to move the empire state building. I'm totally lame when it comes to stuff like that. Now if you wanted me to cook you dinner for the next 3 months I would totally be on it though. I hope things go well with the cognitive therapist. HOpefully you guys can all figure out a good plan for Scott besides just a good kick in the rear, since I am sure you guys have been trying that to no avail. Isn't it funny the things we think of. I just started randomly humming that song yesterday in my car. And thinking about what yesterday signified and how important it is to remember to seize opportunities. So often it is so easy to think "Oh, I'll catch you next time" and until my friend died so randomly and suddenly I never really realized that there may not be a next time so I should always go with this time and if I skip this time I have to be okay with missing it and knowing that the time before it could be the last time of whatever it is. Okay...ending tangent.

Today is National Tangent Day for people named Clara I think...

ME - Thai food...now I'm salivating. I want some panang curry and rice...like right now...seriously. Yum!! Not fair. I am totally jealous.

Dawn - Stupid rain. Just remember that rain makes flowers...eventually. :) Maybe things will clear up enough for some pics. That is one cool thing about the weather here. The rumors about Seattle are true. It rains a lot, but it doesn't rain constantly. So, it will rain for an hour then not rain for the rest of the day, or maybe just for a little bit. It only rains all day long once in a great while. When it rains like that it is actually really kind of cool if you can just stay at home.

Di - So, when you started here Sally was talking about a group of ladies that she was enabling to join us in our world of digiscrap addictions. And you started up at the same time. o, I thought you were one of those ladies for some crazy reason. I always get new people mixed up. I used to think Ona and Linda were the same person, sort of for awhile too. Don't worry my brain will sort it out and you'll be your very own person in my very muddled brain here. :) So, not Texas but Omaha?? When we lived in IOtaly we had a friend from Omaha. She's a crazy type of girl and I remember a very drunken night on the evening of a football game with the Huskers and the other big rival team. It was a very interesting night to say the least. Football was a very big thing for us over there ina different way than it is here because it was one of the few things we could hold on to from home so when those big rival games came on it was HUGE!!! A couple of bottles of tequila later I had a lot of mess to clean up after. I tended to be the clean up crew often back in those days before kids. I never got to drink because who knew what might happen. I think that night someone actually needed stitches. Crazy times! Crazy times! I still don't know about that whole vegetarian thing. I live in Olympia where there are a lot of vegetarian greener types. It is just unreal to me. I don't have a problem with vegetarians. I just can't imagine not eating meat. I could be a vegetarian right up until about dinnertime. Lunchtime could be a little dicey but dinnertime would just not be manageable.

Well...today I am all over the place so I am going to go. Love you guys. You most likely will not hear from me this weekend. Debating whether or not to take my laptop. DH will like me better if I leave it at home, but...

YOu'll probably hear from me tomorrow and some today. Love you guys!!
 
Dawn - nope no german. I got an A in German in highschool and if we ever got stationed in Germany I am sure I would pick it up pretty easy. I can eat in Italian, really well as a matter of fact. :) I'm glad that you didn't get rained off your computer. Chinese Buffet, huh? My neighbor's sister is always talking crap about the buffet and just to be obnoxious says it the way it is spelled. It is kinda funny. We have a decent one down the street from our house but I have never been. I always get sidetracked by the sushi place next door. Enjoy. I am now officially starving.
 
Hi girls...just popped in to say "I feel like crap"....that sounded good!

I am even having a hard time typing. I tried to read everyone's posts, but my eyes burn so bad I can't...I didn't sleep good again last night, at all...but I fell asleep around 8:30 this morning and slept til 10:30...2 hours of straight hard sleep...I forced myself to get up and shower and go get my hair done....hair looks good, but the rest of me...ughhh! worst part, couldn't even enjoy the time and the good shampooing...just wanted to hurry and get out!! I would have cancelled...but I don't know when I could go again...plus..I hate to cancel on my hairdresser on short notice.

I will check in later...I am going to lay down now, try for a nap again today. Never got one yesterday.

(((Hugs))) all around girls!
 
hey all.. just popping in for a sec... dinner is on the stove and I'm pooped...

we went shopping this afternoon... Piper had a couple of winter outfits I'd bought recently but since nothing fit from last winter she needed more stuff... I went to a local consignment store and got her 1 sweater, 4 long sleeve t-shirts, her Halloween costume, 1 pair of pants and 2 pairs of long sleeve/pants pajamas for $42! Wish I could have gotten all her pants at the consignment store... unfortunately, I had to visit Walmart too... there's another consignment store or 2 around town so may hit them this weekend..

not much going on... we've got a busy weekend with birthday parties... kids are not sick for a change *knock on wood* and I'm diggin' my new schedule... miss you guys, but I just don't have time enough for anything these days...

oh forgot to tell you... I'm the new store manager at the digi community at Pretty Scrappy which is part of why I'm never around anymore LOL!
 
Clara-the buffet was scrumptious! The only things I eat are the ham-fried rice, pressed chicken, and fried won-tons and no sauce on anything, ugh! haha Of course, I will be swollen like crazy tomorrow but it was worth it!

Sandra-Hi! I've been wondering where you were hiding! Congrats on the new venture!

LindaW-get some rest girlfriend! Hey, you may feel like crap but at least your hair looks good, right?! ;)

Have a great evening everyone! (((hugs)))
 
Just a quick one from me. I was so wiped out that I stayed home today and slept most of the day. Feeling better...but still going back to bed very, very soon.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well Linda!

Sandra, glad to hear that things are going well.

Dawn, sounds like a great buffet!

Chris...you always have hope. And I'm one of those praying friends. Praying gives hope! Love you!
