Good morning ladies. Thought I'd make a quick start to this thread. We are heading home this morning from Minneapolis. Had a wonderful time with 6 other families that traveled with us to China when we brought home Sydney. It's so much fun to watch the girls change from year to year. But we need to get home so I can make one more batch of homemade ice cream before we go to celebrate Dad's birthday.

I'm so behind in the gallery and the forums but I'm hoping that I can get a little bit of catching up done today.
 
Good morning all!! jUst popping in to say hello! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend...........:D
 
happy Monday and Labor Day for the US-ers :)
Nice to have an extra day off. I would have loved to sleep in a bit but no- this morning, instead of dealing with kids or dogs, it was Patchy Tarentino.
Yes, I guess I need to explain...

2 years ago, Gary (Type 1 diabetes) was having really odd low blood sugar episodes, where he would literally talk like a pirate and just laugh while I was trying to test his blood/get him sugar. Yes, Arrrrrrhhh! So I joke with him that he was like Patchy, from Spongebob.

This morning, Harley was getting whiny at 6 am, and I just wanted to sleep a bit longer. That was it. I poked Gary to see if he could lift her onto the bed. That sometimes gets her settled and I could get a bit more sleep in.
Poke. No response.
Poke. *grunt*
Poke again- "Gary- Please help the dog up!" "Aarrrrgghhhh"

I get out of bed,and realize his sugar is way low. Get sugar, try to get him to eat a brownie,. Not much luck. He is going on about how this is all in my imagination. Finally after I get him though the episode, he was trying to explain to me that he thought he was in some movie, and there was a time warp, and I was in the past, and he was fine in the future and all he wanted was for me to catch up to the right time where he was ok.
So.... Patchy Tarentino!

What a way to start the day :lol:

Gotta get more coffee (no kidding... with a shot in it perhaps?? OL)

See ya in a bit!

Linda S, sounds like an amazing weekend and time to you and Sydney! Does she remember lots of her life in China?
Have fun at your Dad's party!!

Lori *waving hi*

Kelly! Where have you been Girl!!!!??? Good to see ya!

Quick recap from the weekend thread:

Joslyn- sooo funny about the TP! I tried to get it into the kids heads that 2 squares at a time was enough. Uhhh yeah... a key might have been easier!

Linda W- how crazy with your S-DD's. Hope everything works out quickly. If not ... I think you have enough "good drama" to keep you busy *wink*

Oh Davy- maybe you need to go visit Joslyn and get some PT-ing in! Dawn, will s/he been over the cycle before you leave for Disney?

We did go to the party- very nice! And waaaaay out in the sticks. Makes my sorta-rural town look completely citified LOL
They have 3 acres of land (huge out in NJ terms) and most of their friends had put up tents to sleep over.It looked like a crazy campground complete with enormous bonfire.:)

Ona- welcome as a new Cheery-O!

xoxoxo to you all!

GOOD MORNING!!!!

Yes...Labor Day here in the US...means everyone is at home!! DH is home today...still in bed...lazy butt!! LOL!! not really...he deserves it!! He works very hard!! and I love him for that too!

Well...we are suppose to be getting a little work done here this morning...but with Mr G. still in the bed...that's not happening...and we go to my Mom and Dad's for a small cookout. I may have to call Sharon and go get Cameran...DH says last night "I miss my little man!! He was here so much this week...and now I miss him"....I think he just needs someone to play with!!! LOL!!! It's funny, because when Cameran leaves, he always tells DH what to play while he is not here....he believes we sit around playing with his toys when he's not here...so cute!!!

LindaS...what a totally awesome trip!!! have fun at your Dad's B-Day

Hi Lori!!

I certainly hope so for DH's sake! It's not been quite as bad this time...so maybe she's maturing a bit. DH is already saying things like 'you're only going to be gone a couple of days, right?' ROFL! I've been telling him little things he'll need to do and when Davy likes to be let out of the cage...and he said "He'll be ok until you get back, it's only a few days." haha He sure better not leave him in there the whole time!!!! hahahaha he just came up behind me and read this ;).

Sounds like my kind of party, Chris, hope you had fun, I love bonfires :).

Have a great day!

oooh, yum, yum, YUM, homemade ice cream!!! what flavors?! I loooove banana or strawberries in mine...or both LOL! Save me a bowl :).

Have a great day, Linda!
 
Hello everybody! I had the worst attitude all weekend long, so I didn't torture all of you with it. I don't know what my prob was, but if there was a WRONG BED with an even WRONGER side, I got up on it. LOL THe girls were grumpy too. Genny was whining and crying, and Atha told her, "I don't want to hear you crying!"

Feeling a little better today although sleepy. We're having tacos for dinner and going to bed early, I think.

Chris- I have to side with Dawn and say you are one interesting person! It's great you have such a sense of humor. Gotta smile to keep from slamming your head against the wall, right? Know how you were talking about a cup of coffee with a shot in it? Well, yesterday I picked up an airplane bottle of vodka at the convenience store (we have liquor in them here on post) and put it in my oj. But I don't really drink so all it did was give me heartburn and make me sleepy. Oh well.

Linda S- that sounds so COOL getting together with the other adoptive parents! And then the girls get to see one another too. What a cool "club"!
 
Linda W- I hope you had fun at your cookout. What a nice, close family you all seem to have. *sigh* I love how Cameran gives you assignments.

Dawn- Here's hoping Davy gets out of the cage while you aren't there. I'm sure he'll have a way to tell you if your DH "mistreats" him. By mistreat I mean "not spoil." Davy has got to be the most pampered bunny around! Good for him!

Awww, Andrea, you should've come on in and chitchatted with us, we don't care if you're grumpy, your hair is in curlers or dirty, etc...it's strictly come as you are LOL. Glad you are hanging in there. I imagine it's taking some adjusting still for you and the kids with YMG being deployed.

I soooo KWYM about heartburn...I usually get it when I drink something with oj. Have you ever tried peach schnapps and cranberry juice? That's pretty good and goes down smooth :).

Girls, we all need to get together one evening, maybe when I get back from Disney(??) and do a chat/crop. oooh, LindaW?! Chris?! C'mon ladies! Maybe the last wkend of the month?
 
HELLO!!!

I am home!! Yay! i had a great weekend. Dave was awesome, as always. Camping was a blast. We spent a day out at the lake, hung out with friends, family and it was just awesome. I love Labor Day weekend. I even survived without my laptop. What the heck?? I did find out I can check my e-mail on my phone though. But I couldn't get on here. It took forever!! But the weekend was awesome. We are all worn out and dirty and very possibly smell horrible, but it is all good.

I took tomorrow off to finish getting Ethan ready to start school on Wednesday. So late this year. He has a meet and great with his teacher tomorrow. Last year he got all dressed up to meet his teacher. It was very cute. I have almost everything he needs. I think he only needs a back pack now. He got the coolest lunch box...Scooby Doo.

So, I get back and see the coolest thing...lots of new Cheery-Os!!! That is so awesome. I love seeing all the avatar bling. Congratulations to all of you guys. So cool. I have loved my guest spot, so I can only imagine how great it would be to be a permanent team member. So cool.

Well, I have not fully caught up on the dailys so I'll wrap it up here and go and get myself clean. I hope everybody had an awesome 3-day weekend!!
 
I am also glad u had fun!!

I would love to get together for a chat crop snappy. Once again I am still remembering your names. Thats why I just call myself Lori.

Sorry u were bummed out this pass weekend Andrea. If everyone was ya'll should have just curled up on the couch and ate ice cream all weekend. Sometime u just gotta do it. I know around here my kiddos probably wouldnt let me get away with it but I would try.

oh darn just noticed mr. potts is staring a show I like gotta run!!
