1. Thank you everyone for the congrats for Bailey, she's still very excited. 2. Melodie is back home tonight and obviously the "other grandmother" let her nap all day. It's after midnight and she just now went to sleep. 3. Serate, you'll find something. Heck I moved from Oklahoma to Michigan and had rented a place sight unseen, got there and it was horrible. I refused to even move in, lived in a cheap motel for two weeks until I could find something else. It will be ok.

1. Darren's conference didn't go well. He's a bit upset about not being chosen, but more ticked off they kept him for almost an hour to tell him. On the plus side, his big boss is shocked he wasn't chosen and quite upset about it. 2. Kids got their report cards today. They did good! Caleb got an A, 4 B's, and a C in writing (that didn't suprise me one bit, he hates writing papers and paragraphs.) Dakota's report card had a 1 (in a few years that would be an A, lol,) and the rest were 2's. 3. Kota's been on the verge of being sick for a couple of days. Low fever, sick eyes, not feeling that bad but not feeling that great. About half an hour ago Caleb got up and told me she was in bed with him and that she woke him up and yelled at him. She was dreaming I think. Anyways it woke her up and just as I opened the hall door to check on her, she was coming out..I smacked her with it. I don't think she even noticed. She's running a high fever and her throat looks terrible. Had to give her the liquid tylenol cuz she wouldn't even attempt to swallow the chewables. At least her breathing is good! 4. I'm mentally planning a sick day for her, cuz I'm pretty sure she's going to end up in the dr's office tomorrow. I've got a couple projects I've been saving for when they're out for Christmas, but I may pull those out if she's feeling up to it. 4.5 Eggie, I'm so sorry to hear about your sons friend. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

1. countdown to keith urban...just under 12 hours! yay! 2. eggie, i don't think i ever gave you my condolences for your son. how sad. i'm keeping him in my prayers. 3. OSHA has been at my work this whole week. yesterday i got the PRIVELEGE (said sarcastically) of interviewing with them. i was nervous because i thought she was going to ask me a bunch of jacked up questions that i didn't know the answers to, but mainly i just explained what i did on my job, and what kind of safety equipment i used on my job. it was very informal, and she said it was her best interview yet. 4. funny how i can "win" things like that, that i don't want to do, but i can never win prize drawings. lol. that's just the way it goes, i suppose! 5. hope you all have a great weekend! i am leaving for columbia this afternoon at 12:30, and won't be back til later saturday. can't wait! i'll tell you guys all about it when i get back!

1. It's been too long since I've been in here. 2. DD is now in basketball season with tournaments almost every weekend in November, blech 3. She got a black eye almost two weeks ago at practice. It was swollen like a balloon. We were lucky that her contact popped out when she got hit or it would have been a dr. visit to get it out. The swelling has gone down, but it's still a bit aubergine, lol. 4. DS#2's club soccer team made the Western District Championship playoffs. They play the weekend of 12/4 for a chance to go to state. 5. I'm taking next Monday and Tuesday off of work. That will give me the whole week off. I've got books to read, yummies to bake, Christmas cards to begin making. 6. After 4+ days of rain, it wasn't raining this morning. The sky is light, still cloudy but I have hopes for seeing the sun soon, please ...

1. OK, it's official I'm in hell; 2. Colossus and I had decided against going to a formal fundraiser tomorrow evening, the theme is "Casablanca", because we're leaving for Mexico the next morning and we've had no time to pack, much less prepare for the fundraiser; 3. Well, it's 36 hours to the fundraiser and all of a sudden we're going to go. Got no white double-breasted dinner jacket for the man (although he has a black tux), got no slinky formal gown for moi, got no shoes, got no broach, got no hair appointment, got no makeup appointment; 4. I suck and I'm going to suck even worse in public tomorrow night; 5. Screw it I'm going to wear Colossus' black tux jacket with no pants and tell him to find his own damned outfit; 6. I'll put a pair of high-ankle strappy shoes with it and a shiny broach. I'm going to make everyone call me Marlena Dietrich, even though she wasn't in the movie. What the hell do I care?; 7. Now that I'm through griping about non-important issues, Colossus and I just had our one-month anniversary; 8. He gave me a 14-inch strand of cultured pearls and matching earrings for an anniversary present. Actually they were supposed to be a Christmas present, and he just couldn't stand it so he gave them to me for our anniversary. I love that about him ... 8.5 Let's see - got pearls, got my man back from Granny, going to Mexico, going to a nice party tomorrow night. OK, now what was I griping about?

1. Morning came early because my dd wanted me to French braid her hair. 2. Since she is 29, I thought that those days were done. Apparently not if I want to wake with the chickens on a daily basis...I don't. 3. It really looked cute, though...she had me gather the two braids in at the bottom and they were tucked into a little knot at the nape of her neck. 4. Did anyone see what Herckie dared to say in my folder? I'm shocked! 5. Getting eager for the holidays this year. I guess some years the anticipation is higher than others...last year I could not have cared less. 6. I am using Firefox today instead of Internet Explorer and things are going better. 7. I miss so many of our regular posters. Hope they are all doing well in their respective corners of the universe. 8. So sorry to hear that so many are ill...hope you all recuperate quickly...Skootz, take care of that eye! Hope your knitting goes well. That furry yarn can be a challenge. 9. Have a great day, everyone! 9.1 Goddess, you're going to be a hit! Sounds like a blast!

1. Trying to post. I post in the mornings, but the board is maintenance mode, and I'm in a rush to get to school mode... 2. {{hugs}} to factoids, to egson's 21st, and Jmm BAILY!! 3. I'm going out on a HUGE limb and going to take that internet college class to get an endorsement in Middle School. I cant afford the $$$ (1400) but they dont need it till March. 4. Life is rough $$$ here, dh says he'll get a 2nd job - Midnight till 8am... ummmm I dont think so (we have 2 cars, how do I get to work at 8am, and DS to school? oh yeah. and we dont see you due to Scouts, so how is this helping? UMmmm have you tried to get A DIFFERENT JOB?? 5. Maybe its a hint I should get a 2nd job in retail from 3-9pm (there isnt a car for me to get to work, but hey, oh and no one to watch thekids, or feed the family... but those are just "challenges" 6. American Education Week, I got to sub in a class and do a lesson plan. Today my dd class, had a sub... WHY - the school sceduled outdoor education week and there are quite a few teachers doing the outdoor education program, instead of in their classrooms... 7. I hope I'm not worrying. 8. Thanksgiving. DS's want to invite girls over!! 9. I love to bake,and I love the sales the stores have, we can get a turkey for $.49 a pound!! 10. Miracle of our week.

1. We had less than one day of sun and it is cloudy and - you guessed it - raining again. As if SAD weren't bad enough with short days and time change, I'm dealing with life in the land of no sun. 2. Tomorrow is visit to allergist day. I get the results from last week's CT scan. I've got a hair appointment (trim and color) in the afternoon so I'm only working a few hours.

1. I'm home from my second job and jumping in with some facts, before I crash out. 2. Thanks to all for the encouragement and the well wishes. 3. I hope I can get used to this two job thing pretty soon. But you know what? I gotta do, what I gotta do...

1. Aw Nick, I know what you're going through. Darren took a part time job a couple years ago, did it for 8 months. Just remember to try to take some time for yourself. I know that sounds easier than it is but if you can, it is important. 2. I put kota in bed earlier, still running a fever and I forgot to braid her hair. Poor kid, it's going to be one giant tangle tomorrow. I'm feeling quite guilty about it, since I know better. 3. I think I'm watching my baby niece tomorrow. Her big sis has some major dental work she has to have done. I haven't got to spend much time alone with her lately so I'm looking forward to it. 4. I got my first answer to the what do you want for Christmas question today! Dakota wants a pogo stick. We've made it through roller skates, scooters, bicycles, and baseball without any broken bones, I'm sure the pogo stick will be ok, lol.

1. I shot myself in the eye with a piece of metal! Ouch! It's burning today. 2. I have my second craft show tomorrow. It's in the same basic area so I don't expect a lot of purchases, but it'll be good practice for the big one in December. 3. The person that reserved the first townhome unit is now wanting to make massive changes to the floor plans. Could spell trouble? 5. Next weekend I've got the family ready to do a massive cleaning on the house and then put up Christmas decorations! YAY! That always gets me in the holiday spirit!!

1. Ouch RG - dont take it lightly, if your vision seems blurry, let me add my voice for you to see a doctor!! Good Luck!! 2. Good Luck Nick!! I hear you! DH was up doing a resume late last night, this morning he seemed astonished at his accomplishments! Now if we can find a qualified headhunter... 3. War, we did the pogo stick, it ended up in the trash, when the garbage man came he jumped on it, fell into the truck, didnt see that man for a few weeks after!! 4. Sent dd to school - she was sent home yesterday with a "possible" fever (99.0) and a tummy ache. She hadnt eaten any healthy food in days, she was on a food strike, I was trying to ignore it. Serve healthy food, read books on nutrition, etc. The nurse was stunned. I sent the nurse a container of yogurt and a cheese stick for the frig, "just in case". Sometimes being a parent is torture. 5. I think ds gf is coming tomorrow. She wants to try my homemade pizza fresh from the oven! 6. This house is a disaster. Not as bad as the lady on Oprah, but not good...

It is very foggy in Oregon today, but weather says no rain in Albany this weekend. 7. Have a good weekend everyone at TVCH - and take care of yourselves.

1. It hasn't snowed in Wisconsin yet (here anyway). 2. But it's rainy. 3. I'm just fine with that. 4. I like snow too. 5. But I don't like cold. 6. Can't always have it both ways. 7. My mom left this morning to go to New Zealand for a month. 8. I'm going to miss her. 9. I bet she'll come home to snow (maybe) in December.
