Do we need a midweek posting party? Yes, I believe we do!

[Nichole]

Tumbleweeds, be gone! :booted:

Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here! http://yelims5.free.fr/Zik/Musique36.gif

Q: What thought is in the back of your mind right now?

My A: I'd love some chocolate right now.
My other A: I wish those people would be quiet.

[TtownAnne]

There's a party over here, so you might as well be here...

:lol:

I am in need of a posting party. I've got about 4 things happening at once. DH took Caroline to the park (yay for Jewish holidays that close the office early!), so I'm washing a load of sheets/towels, having a snack, working on my entry to a Circle Journal, and making cookies.

My throat hurts. :blue:

[Eva]

Mine is : Can this day go any slower?
My other: Why is my child being so whiney today????

[Trish]

I really need a nap, but Chad is out of town, so no rest for me tonight :( I'll just have my own little pity party for myself :lol:

[sheila]

This keeps reminding me of you, Nichole:

[Dawn]

Hola! :wavey:

The only thought in the back of my mind is for me to get my a$$ off of here, and put the groceries away that's still sitting in bags on the kitchen floor. :blush1:

Adios! :bolt:

[Dawn]

Oh, and another thing: I need to start on dinner cuz the chicken takes a couple hours!

[Trish]

Sheila :lol2: That IS Nichole's desk!!! :lol:

[Bridget]

I wish I had eaten lunch. I'm starving.

[Karri]

Sheila :lol:
A: I really hope the kids stay asleep for another hour.
A #2: When the eff are my flip flops going to get here?

[Nichole]

:lol: That's funny, Sheila. I'm not sure if my situation is worse or better than that. Imagine a giant hospital hallway, but full of boxes and people putting shit in those boxes. Then imagine a little walled in area at the end of it, where another hallway intersects. Got that visual? See me waving from that little walled in area? :wavey: :lol:

[sheila]

A: I wonder if I have time to go to the Y before I have to get ready for Boovie.
A2: Stagg had better get home before 7 tonight.
A3: I hope this Boston Creme Pie turns out ok.

[Alyson]

My A: I'm so happy that Brookelyn is napping, it's nice outside and I'm finally having some quiet time to myself!
My other A: I don't want to go to work.. uggh.. only 3-7 but still yuck!!

[Nichole]

Wait, you actually wouldn't be able to see me waving anymore. We just got some fancypants saloon-style doors on the cube. (not really fancy at all; they're pretty cheesy but they keep the drafts out) :lol:

New A: Peeyew. Somebody must have spilled a stanky chemical out here. :dead:

[Bridget]

We just got some fancypants saloon-style doors on the cube.

[Nichole]

This town ain't big enough for the both of us, pardner. http://yelims3.free.fr/Jesuis/Bandit.gif

:lol:

[sheila]

I love that my girls are now Jack Johnson fans.
We just spent about 20 minutes watching the Upside Down video (http://www.noggin.com/shows/movemusic.php) over and over and over.

[Bridget]

http://www.smileypad.com/v202/Cache/Misc/Afro.gif It's entirely possible to talk on the phone, have ten internet windows open, maintain three work chats, read email, listen to the radio and post in here all at the same time.

Because I am kool.

[Nocona]

Nice visual, Nichole :lol:

My answer: I am sooo ready to go home to celebrate my baby's birthday :)

[AmyP]

A: Why does my child refuse to nap today other than an hour?
A2: If I'd known she wouldn't go to sleep for me, I would have just dragged her butt to the grocery store
A3: She's in her crib talking to herself, so maybe I'll get her and get out now before I've completely lost my motivation to go.

[Mrs. Shae]

A. why do i have to be at work right now?
A2. how great it will be in one week [because i will be in Tahoe]?
A3. how much it will suck in two weeks [because i will be back here]?

[MamaGoofy]

A: I am so flipping excited!! I just went shopping at NYC, VS and Target. I spent well over $200 and actually only spent $50!! :yippee: I love gift cards!!! :woo:
B: I really need to clean the kitchen so I can finish dinner when Dave gets home.

[Bridget]

I like monkeys.

[Nichole]

ooh ooh eeh eeh

[Shannan]

Why after 8 years did they make us take down our growing jungle.

I need new clothes...but I'd rather shop for my kids...

[Nichole]

New A: I wish I could eat an apple without needing to floss my teeth afterwards. Apple buzzkill.

[Karri]

Bridget - your word thingeys drive me bonkers :lol:

Shit...the kids *did* sleep for an extra hour. WOW! I got a lot done, too! Go me!

I need some sunglasses ASAP for my drive on Friday. Anyone know where to get kool glasses for cheap? (i lose them all the farkin' time!)

[Karri]

New A: I wish I could eat an apple without needing to floss my teeth afterwards. Apple buzzkill.

Slice it in quahtahs before eating. No need to floss then :aok:

[Shannan]

Karri, try Target or Walmart...though if you have a Kohls nearby...they are having a mondo sale on everything right now.

[Nichole]

I just got some coolio glasses at Tarzhay, Karri. :cool:

Even when I slice apples, I have to floss. I have just enough space between my molars that crap gets stuck all the farking time. :tearhair: I guess the silver lining is that I won't be getting cavities back there with all of this flossing. :lol:

[Stacy]

Mike's Hard Berry stuff is awesome.

[Nichole]

I have sigs turned off for work and I didn't know what you were talking about to Bridget, Karri. :lol: It took me a while to decipher that license plate. You'd need a big license plate holder for that puppy. :lol:

[Karri]

Alrighty, then. I will do a Target and Kohls run for a purse and glasses :aok:

I see, Nichole. I floss a lot, too (like 2x a day). But for me, its because I cant stand the feeling of anything less than clean teeth.

[JustJen]

A: What is Isabella saying? I can't understand her, but she really seems to know what she's saying. Everything ends with I Happy or a screamed BYE!

A: How much longer can I keep coughing like this? I sound like I smoke a pack a day.

[Bridget]

Bridget - your word thingeys drive me bonkers

:confused: What are you talking about? :lol:

[bunybomb]

I'm going to Kid Rock tomorrow night. I'm so excited! :ura1:


Can you tell I need a farking (like that new word) life!

[schwanda]

Will my kids behave tonight or will I have another 2 year old cry-fest???

Amanda

[Nichole]

Ok, I can't figure out the WI one, Bridget. Create what? :scratch:

Cowboy babay!! Yeehaw, Becky! You're going to have so much fun, I bet!

[Bridget]

Ok, I can't figure out the WI one, Bridget. Create what? :scratch:


Karri Hates it Here (i.e, Wisconsin).

I made it impossible on purpose. :devil:

[Nichole]

Oh. That was impossible. :lol:

[Michele]

I got some kool sunglasses at Target for $9.99...

I wish dinner would cook itself, I am not motivated to cook it...

[Karri]

thanks, bridget :lol:

[Dawn]

Becky, Kid Rock...how cool!!! Have fun!

I'm also a flosser. Funny this was mentioned, because I just bought new floss today at the grocery store. We're running low & I REFUSE to not have any floss in this house. :nono: I need to floss AT LEAST once a day to get the yuckies out. :biggrin:

[bunybomb]

Flossing ROCKS!!! :dude:

[Stacey]

I'm a flosser too. :nod: Sometimes I'm tempted to be lazy and just brush, but I just can't do it.

In the back of my mind... the fact that this is the third night in a row that I'll be on my own with the kids for dinner and bedtime. :( At least Brad will be back late tonight though.

I have no motivation to feed the kids. ugh.

[bunybomb]

A bowl of cereal counts as dinner Stacey!

[Dawn]

A bowl of cereal counts as dinner Stacey!
:nod: Yup. Or even grilled cheese w/ fruit or a veggie. That's easy, eh? :)

[Nichole]

Mmm, now I'm hungry for a bowl of cereal. Breakfast for dinner is a standard at our house when Brendon is gone. Just like my mom always did for us when our dad was out of town. The tradition carries on. :lol:

[Karri]

Rock out tonight, Becky! :dude:

My daughter is sitting next to me, feeling me up. :wtf:

Cereal for dinner is cool. But I soooo know what you mean, Stacey. Like you just want to not do a farkin' thing. Even pour milk. You are so done. :hug99: Hang in there.

[Nichole]

You're almost to the finish line, Stacey! :rahrah: :hug99:

[Stacey]

Thanks, guys. I had actually thought of those things. :lol: But I generally try to feed the kids the same thing. And Cole's a milk hound, so I didn't want him to have cereal... because he's had so much milk already today. Cole had cheese sandwich and pears for lunch (and completely snubbed the sandwich), so that was out for him. Maia (who was at school) had pb&j for lunch. So I couldn't figure out what easy meal to give them both.

Maia ended up getting cereal. Cole had a pb&j. I think I'll sling a little apple sauce their way and call it a meal. :blush1: Thanks for the advice and cheering.

You want to hear something fun? At almost 3pm today, Brad asked me, "Do you remember that my brother's in town?" I said no and added that he'd better not be suggesting that he wasn't coming straight home. He said he wasn't, but that his brother would be coming over. I was pissed because of what time he reminded me. I could have straightened up earlier in the day when I only had Coley with me. At that point in the afternoon, I was hoping to just throw it into autopilot and make sure the kids didn't mame themselves until Brad got home. I am so not in the mood to hang out with Brad's brother right now. So he got an earful for that.

He ended up telling his brother he was getting home late tonight and that he'll see him tomorrow. For those thinking I'm a little bitchy because it's his brother, his brother's a bit of a schmoe who only visits us when it's completely convenient for him.

[Nichole]

I don't think you're bitchy. The last thing I'd want to do is entertain someone after 3 exhausting days, when you're just looking forward to a break. :dead:

[TtownAnne]

Nope, definitely not bitchy. Springing stuff a few hours beforehand is not cool! :noqueno:

Our neighbor is pissing us off with some parking mindgames. James is now saying that should our Malibu (old car) die, he's going to pay the $200/yr. insurance just to keep it and leave it sitting in front of our house just so Dave can't take the parking space.

[Dawn]

Yea, your bitchy Stacey.

Kidding! :lol: Seriously, I wouldn't want my BIL coming over either if I felt that way about him. Schmoe. :lol: I don't like when pple do that crap for the convenience of themselves. :disbelief:

I hope the visit won't last too long. You think it will? Does he have a tendency of staying for a while even though tons of hints are dropped like yawning, and getting the kids in bed, etc.?

Damn, dinner was mighty good. Ice cream cake soon! :lick:

[Melissa]

Q: What thought is in the back of your mind right now?

A: Man do my lips hurt!!! I'm not used to playing for 3 1/2 hours straight anymore! At least my TMJ didn't act up!

A2: I hope financial aid goes through so I can really start my masters in a couple of weeks.

A3: why is my DH a farking idiot?? :angry2:

[Clare]

Stacey - I've been meaning to tell you that I love your sig! So cute :lol: I'm glad you didn't get stuck with BIL. Sorry you've had a rough few days :bighug:

My mind's quite blank right now......

[Karri]

I don't think you are bitchy either, Stacey. I would have drilled Chris another asshole if he pulled that on me

[Nichole]

Mmm, margarita. :lick: That is all.

[Bridget]

Stacey, don't feel like you're being bitchy. I'm a total rag over unexpected houseguests and that's regardless of whether I've been on my own for days or not. I can be a total pushover on lots of things (mostly because I can be guilted into doing things I don't want to do), but not on that subject, and it doesn't matter WHO it is. Kai has learned his lesson on that the hard way. http://www.smileypad.com/v202/Cache/Rude/Bondage.gif

Kai got home late tonight and then went out to mow, so I let Caleb go without a bath and just washed Ahna in the sink. :blush: My kids are dirty birds.

Ahna has runny poop and I think it is strangely stinky and Kai doesn't (he came in as I was getting ready to wash her) so cross your fingers it's not anything bad. :dead:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Ack Stacey I would have done the same thing.. especially for my dick of a BIL!



:wavey: Hi everyone....


A #1: I am too embarrassed to tell everyone how much of a bad mother I am, because Aiden drank 3/4 of a bottle of cold and flu medicine and spent yesterday afternoon in a trance and sleeping :blush: (of course AFTER I confirmed he would be okay by ringing poison control)

A #2: I wonder if I can convince my husband to go away with his mates Monday night (its a public holiday on Tuesday) instead of Friday night so I don't get left alone on the weekend? :heee:

[Karri]

Deb :lol: i am glad he's ok, but i did giggle getting a picture of him all drunk and groggy in my mind :heee:

[TtownAnne]

Can he send some of that cold medicine my way? I'm getting sick. :dead: Why can't I get sick the weekend we're supposed to go to NY? :devil: My throat is all hot and scratchy.

However, a positive note - DH is picking Caroline up from school tomorrow! :woo: One less trip for me.

Karri, I'm giggling at the H2 website!

[Alyssa]

OMG, Deb. Hmm...but longer naps are compelling. I might have to think of this someday. :awink:

I was very scarce today and haven't dug much...did I miss some drama? :scratch:

I had a crazy day. I got up at 4:30am to drive Joe, Aidan & Colin to the airport so they could fly to DC for the day to go to the zoo. Lucky kids, huh? Nice perk of being able to fly for free. All would have been okay since I work from home on Wednesdays, but I got an urgent call at 8:22am asking that I come in to the office after all for a 9:30am mtg. :woa: So I ran into the shower, threw a pj'd Jack in the infant seat, and drove the 40 minutes to the office where I begged my mom to meet me to take Jack. Our receptionist had to watch him for a bit before my mom was able to get there. :crazy:

The boys had a great time in DC, zoo and plane alike. :aok:

Hey - anyone know any good sites where I can study curtain styles? That same babysitting receptionist has a sewing business and is going to make me curtains for the boys' bedroom. I think I just want a valance but I'm not sure. :dunno:

[Alyssa]

Mmm, now I'm hungry for a bowl of cereal. Breakfast for dinner is a standard at our house when Brendon is gone. Just like my mom always did for us when our dad was out of town. The tradition carries on. :lol:I do this too. Joe thinks it's crazy. I think it's crazy that he thinks it's crazy. Since he's gone most of May, we'll be eating a lot of waffles for dinner, I tell ya!

[Nichole]

I was very scarce today and haven't dug much...did I miss some drama? :scratch:



Why do you ask? It's been uber drama free around here lately. :lol:

[Nichole]

Karri, I love the FUH2 site. :aok: :lol: I haaaate those vehicles. They symbolize everything I dislike about America and the greedy selfish mofos that live here.

[Alyssa]

Why do you ask? It's been uber drama free around here lately. :lol:Mmmm...I think it was that I mis-read your first post...

My other A: I wish those people would be quiet.

I thought 'those people' might be someone annoying here. :updown:

[Nichole]

No, just annoying people in my cube in the hallway. :lol:

Note to self: do not open the TAR9 thread until after watching the show. :tmi:

[Karri]

yeah - its been quiet in OUAL world. Hence the mid-week posting partay :dude:

Thanks for the H2 website love :) Every time I see one, i get rage and want to shoot the person :shuffle: If it weren't for you mofos, maybe we wouldnt be paying $3.00 for a farkin' gallon of gas :complain: Please...you live where there are paved roads. Why the eff do you need a farkin' military vehicle? Whew...step back...gettin' angry... :lol:

[Alyssa]

Did anyone here catch Alias tonight?

[Nichole]

I want to watch it Alyssa (not on here yet), but it conflicts with TAR. My loyalty lies with the Philiminator this time, sorry. :lol:

I'm intrigued that Vaughn and Irina seem to be coming back, though. Dang I wish I had tivo.

[Alyssa]

TAR?

[Bridget]

Guess what I am doing. :drink2:

I'm starting to feel all warm and funny.

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol: Okay... I must say the extended sleep was nice... but the crazy trance thing was scary to live through...:errr: I am such a bad mother!!!

Bridget, do you have frank over joining you? He looks like he could use a couple!

[MrsPeacefrog]

okay I just have to scream this!

27 days people!!!!!

I am so fricken over excited for our trip!! I can't believe we are in the less than a month count down!!!!!!!!

on a sad note.. how the hell am I going to handle minimal access to OUAL for 5 weeks :errr: :blue:

I am bringing the laptop but I am global roaming my internet which is expensive so I will only be popping in on the occasion... admit it! you will miss me! okay don't answer that... I need to keep up my own reality that you all worship me and the truth might send me crashing down! :lol:

[Mandi]

Alyssa, TAR is The Amazing Race

5 weeks. :faint: I didn't know you were going to be gone so long, Deb! Dayum! That's cool. :aok:

Less than 2 weeks until we do Disneyland again. :banana:

[MrsPeacefrog]

I know!.... we decided that anything less than 4 weeks wasn't worth the 23hour flight!!! :lol:

how exciting Mandi! I am so jealous! I LOVE Disney, tony and I had a fricken BLAST when we went on our honeymoon! I can't wait till we go back

[Nichole]

Deb, we'll miss you terribly when you're gone. :bawl: I'll light a candle each day for you. :lol: It's so close! I'm excited for you! :yippee:

[Stacey]

Clare, thanks for the compliment on my sig. :) It makes me smile.

Deb, I'm so glad Aiden was okay after his little overdose. Having to call poison control is never a good thing. I can't imagine going five weeks without OUAL. By that time, you might have forgotten about us all. :mope: :lol:

[Bridget]

Deb, we'll miss you terribly when you're gone. :bawl: I'll light a candle each day for you. :lol: It's so close! I'm excited for you! :yippee:

I'll drink an Italian beer in your honor every night. :biggrin:

[MrsPeacefrog]

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_4.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYAU)awwwwwwwww.... now you got me all sentimental and sad!


Knowing me I won't be able to keep away and end up spending a flippen fortune on my internet access just to annoy you girls!

[MrsPeacefrog]

oh Bridget.. please don't sacrifice yourself for me!!!!

Stacey... there is a fat chance I will forget you guys....you give me my healthy dose of crazy ever day! :awink:

[Clare]

Wow Deb, less then a month! That's come around quickly :) I'm gone from OUAL for around 4 weeks every year at Christmas and I will grudgingly admit that this place does survive without me :lol:



I am bringing the laptop but I am global roaming my internet which is expensive so I will only be popping in on the occasion...

Alex's work set us up with something similiar for our last trip to Sydney. He asked for a set plan but they put him on something like global roaming. We hardly used the internet. I checked in here about 3 or 4 times and we did a bit of touristy research on the net as well as him doing a small amount of work. His boss told him recently that the bill for our internet access for our trip was $11000!!! :faint: I had a mild heart attack when I thought they were going to make us pay it, but then had to laugh when I discovered that they were covering it!

[MrsPeacefrog]

Wow Deb, less then a month! That's come around quickly :) I'm gone from OUAL for around 4 weeks every year at Christmas and I will grudgingly admit that this place does survive without me :lol:

WHAT!!! you mean this place is going to be business as usual with out me :scratch: but I am the backbone to this place! :heee:

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there had to be something wrong!!!!!!!!!!

I would have a severe heartattack if that happened!

I did test it out...its a local phonecall when I use it.. and its definately billed at $8 an hour.. I only get billed for the minutes I used too.. I tried it for 30 minutes and at the end of the month I got a bill for $4 so I felt happy to see that!! I feel comfortable using it.. even if I use it for an hour a day the most I will get charged is $256 .... a flippen huge amount for 5 weeks internet, but I will be writing it off on my business account :awink: considering I need to check my ebay stock while away!!! Plus the great thing is the last week in Rome our hotel room has a computer and internet access so I will definatley do alot of catching up then!! :nod:

I swear I am going to get the shakes :lol:...

Okay lets make a deal... NOTHING HAPPEN WHILE I AM AWAY..

All raise your hands and repeat after me

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_6_14.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYAU) "there will be no action while Deb is away, we promise to be boring, dull, talk very little and sit in the corner crying and sobbing out of control at her lack of presence, we will resume activity as normal when Deb gets back"


AAHHHH feeling so much better already! :heee:

[Karri]

Deb, we'll miss you terribly when you're gone. :bawl: I'll light a candle each day for you. :lol:

:nod: I will too. I'll mourn the absence of Deb and her witty ways.

Seriously...I hope that you have a fantastic vacation!!!! I am jealous!

[Stacy]

Okay lets make a deal... NOTHING HAPPEN WHILE I AM AWAY..

AAHHHH feeling so much better already! :heee:

So does this mean that no one can give birth or get pregnant?:scan:
Ladies - keep your legs closed until Deb gets back.
No grape debates allowed.

[Trish]

Karri - that H2 website is great! I freakin' hate those things, too! :angry2:

Deb - so jealous of your trip :tongue2: BUT, I do hope you have a fabulous time ;)

[Barb]

Karri - I love your sig!

[Melissa]

Deb, I don't think I can handle the separation!!!! Bring me with you! :lol:

[sheila]

Note to self: do not open the TAR9 thread until after watching the show. :tmi:

It's killing me not to look!

Deb, we'll miss you. Have a wonderful time.

Maybe we should have a cliff notes thread to make it easier for Deb to catch up on anything really important that happens while she's gone. :lol:

[TtownAnne]

I was so bummed Lost wasn't on last night! Oh well, at least it will now be new episodes until the end of the season.

Went and stocked up on medicine this morning, and picked up my purse at Kohls. Now I'm going to lay on the sofa while DH picks Caroline up from school! :dude:

[Nichole]

Cliff notes. :lol: Who's volunteering to be secretary for Deb? :lol:

Sheila, I had a hard time not clicking on the TAR thread. I can't not click on a thread with new posts! It's some kind of sickness. :lol:

Lying down, Anne? Are you feeling yucky or just kicking your feet up while the getting's good? :lol:

[TtownAnne]

Both, actually! Wracking cough and sore throat, but also just taking advantage of the peace. :)

Lying down, Anne? Are you feeling yucky or just kicking your feet up while the getting's good? :lol:

[Jayne]

A1: Today Dan and I have been together for 12 years. How in the world is that possible. What was I thinking when I saw that cute boy in the little track suit :lol:

A2: Why do I ask for this torture. Timmy (the little boy I nanny) is cutting 2 eye teeth, 2 front teeth and one bottom molar all at the same time. He is 9 months old :tearhair:

[Nichole]

Oh, I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Anne. :hug99:

Yuck Jayne, that doesn't sound like a fun day for anyone! :errr:

A for today: I wish my boys would stop dismantling the couch! :tearhair:

[bunybomb]

A: Only 6 hours until I get my Kid Rock drink on! :drink2:

[Dawn]

Deb, I'm jealous of your trip too! Lucky girl!

Well, we just got back from gymnastics and I want to quickly straighten up a little. Then pack a lunch so we can have a little picnic at the park. :)

:banana: It's going to be an almost 80 degree day here in NJ! :banana:

[Jayne]

It is already 70 and it is going to go up to 79. I am feeding the kids and we are going out to play in the back yard! I love this weather!

[Mandi]

That sounds fun, Dawn! Upper 70's is almost perfect weather IMO. :)

Becky, I didn't see you as a Kid fan. Have a blast!

I've got a mountain of laundry to do but I don't want to. :bawl: :lol: Maybe if I put on some :booty: shaking music I'll get inspired. :lol:

[Nichole]

I'm trying to muster up some motivation here too, Mandi. :dead: Maybe I should print out my spring cleaning list and hang it up as a constant reminder of how much crap I need to get done. :lol:

[Trish]

Becky - I'm so jealous that you are going!! You are going to have a blast!! I've heard he puts on a great show! :dude: The last two times he has come to town I've been quite pg, so I haven't gone :(

I hate when it's gorgeous outside and I'm stuck inside working :(

[Barb]

It's gorgeous here today and I practically had to twist Liam's arm to get him to go outside. He's a weird kid.

[TtownAnne]

I'm so thankful for the Jewish holidays that make it possible for DH to be home today. He picked Caroline up from school, and now is taking her to storytime while I lay on the sofa and glug drinks for my throat. I've gone to the bathroom more times just today than I normally do in THREE days, thanks to everything I've been drinking! :woa:

However, I am trying to be at least remotely active, I do have a load of laundry in and went to the post office this morning (Bridget!). Now if I could just figure out what to have for dinner that I wouldn't actually have to cook, that would be groovy.

[Mandi]

Order in, Anne! :) I mentioned this to Nichole before, but I'm pretty sure it's against the law to cook on the night that Survivor and CSI are on. :dunno: :lol:

[Trish]

Sounds like a good rule to me, Mandi! :lol:

[Mandi]

Works for me. ;) :lol:

[Nichole]

If I follow that rule, then I'd have to apply it to TAR night, too. :lol:

Anne, have James pick something up on his way home from getting Caroline. :aok:

[Alyssa]

Just checking in. I should be working. :bolt:

[bunybomb]

Becky, I didn't see you as a Kid fan. Have a blast!


:secret: I'm not really a fan, but I do own one of his CDs. :lol: I'm more of a fan of going out with the girls for the evening! :ura1:

[Nichole]

That's a good thing to be a fan of, Becky! :aok: Jealous, party of one. :wavey: :lol:

I get to watch Survivor tonight! :woo: [/pathetic] :lol:

[sheila]

I get Survivor and TAR. :woo: [/even more pathetic]

I get work tonight :blue: I'm getting ready now.

Let's see how many parents tonight will let their children run loose all over the store and make a mess! :fado:

[MrsPeacefrog]

:wavey: Good Morning Everyone!

Maybe we should have a cliff notes thread to make it easier for Deb to catch up on anything really important that happens while she's gone. :lol:

:lol2: Now there is the idea of the century!!!!! :heee:

And thats right, no pregnancies, no births, no break ups or get togethers, no cat fights, no fun threads, just boring NOTHING while I am gone :heee: and if there is... there is trouble to pay :catfight:


Atleast for now I still have another 3.5 weeks of OUAL before I leave so I will just have to make the most of it! :awink:

So now lets do the OPPOSITE of what I am telling you NOT to do while I am gone... lets P A R T Y! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_6_2v.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYAU)

Oh and if I come back and find Alyssa pregnant I will KNOW who to blame....*cough* Mandi


okay A1: do antibitocs make you fart? Jacob is the fart king over the last few days

A2: I wonder if I should blow my whole day away OUALing it, or if I should be constructive and take the kids down to the park and then shopping?


Hey Becky, I see its your birthday tomorrow!!! its already tomorrow in Australia sooooo :bday: :heee:

[Nichole]

Right, we'll sit on our hands while you're gone, Deb. Mm hmmm... :scan:

A: Sometimes my kids really crack me up. :lol:

[Bridget]

Tonight's Survivor episode was good. :biggrin:

Hey, I'm not to blame. Her husband would be. :lol:

a1- Yeah, I've heard it can cause gas and/or intestinal issues. Lucky you! :woo:

a2- Well duh, spend it on here. Like there is a choice there. :rolleyes: :lol:

[Dawn]

The thought that's in the back of my mind right now is:

I wish James wasn't snoring so loud! :lol: It's been a while since he snored loud, what gives? Now I'm wide awake so I'm coming on here to catch up. :biggrin:

[MrsPeacefrog]

ahhh okay that explains the trumpet bum....

And of course I have to listen to Mandi and spend my day on OUAL... (I did manage to make the kids some lunch and stack the dishwasher so I don't feel like a complete slob :heee: )

Now off to browse the threads!

[Nichole]

Trumpet bum. :lol: I won't even try to explain the visual I have with that one. :lol2:

[Alyssa]

Woo - Friday! :woo:

Aidan starts soccer tomorrow. Aw, his first organized sport. :)

[TtownAnne]

Alyssa, let me know if you need shin guards or socks - we have both left over after Caroline's abortive attempt at soccer. :disbelief
