8.6 Glad to hear that you sprayed War, but sorry kota had a reaction. We are big into the mold stuff around our house because of last year. I am an encyclopedia of information. I am hoping that your rain stops soon. Miss Ya Fondly Wappy

1. Good morning everyone!

2. DH just brought my car back to school. He changed the oil for me.

3. It's so nice to have a DH to do things like that for me now.

4. I'm also highly allergic to mold. I had many asthma attacks when I was little because of the mold growing in the basement of our house. It took a couple of years before the doctor's linked mold to my asthma.

5. Today is my second day back at work and I'm exhausted. I didn't get much sleep last night either.

6. Tonight I'm going to bed super early. Housework be dam**d!

7. My students have been really quiet the last few days. I think they're still on winter break mode. Or they're silently plotting to kill me.

8. My favorite shoes broke yesterday. I'm sad, but it gives me an opportunity to go shopping :-)

9. Have a great day all!

1. Been busy cleaning all day. Managed to get most the house done and almost back to normal.

2. The table is still in the den but I can't move it back to the front room by myself so it has to stay til Darren gets home from work.

3. We're going to have homeowners insurance people come check out the house (roof, ceiling, carpet, and kitchen floor.) I don't think they'll do anything about the roof, but they may do something about the rest of it. If the deductible doesn't kill us it might be worth it.

4. Kota is happy as can be. She's outside all bundled up, playing. It's freezing and windy out there, not to mention muddy and wet, so I don't think she'll be out long but she's happy for now.

5. Caleb on the other hand, has no desire to go out there, lol. He's busy playing with his army guys in the living room.

6. I lost all my energy awhile ago. Still need to mop the floors and fold some more laundry.

7. Realized I had eaten today so had some left over spaghetti awhile ago. I was hoping that'd give me some more energy but it's not working, LOL.

8. Got the 7th season of Buffy for Christmas, haven't watched any of them yet. I might through in one of the dvd's and get to working on the laundry.

9. The kids have been loving their cd players. Dakota has listened to Sheryl Crow's greatest hits album about 15 times so far. Caleb's been bugging for new cd's, he wants Duran Durans newest one, plus asked for U2! Can I just shout "Yahoo!" My kids got good taste in music so far, LOL.

10. Guess I'll go finish my work now or I won't get it done. Since I want to spend tomorrow playing with the kids, I need to finish up today!

1. I listened to 3.5 hours of educational music broadcasts in German today. I am weary. I have about 16 more hours to go and I'm done with the first set. God help me! It's fun, but very tough.

Went to the opera "Die Fledermaus" (The bat) tonight and I had already seen THAT production of it. Means I've been to Munich TOO many times. Oh, and it's the ROCKY HORROR SHOW (live) not the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (movie)....got the ticket for Friday. The castle concert was sold out, so I'm figuring something else out for Thursday.

1. Anyone seen the weather conditions for Kansas? ICY! There are already widespread power outages, downed trees and limbs, and sheets of ice everywhere!

2. Though my subdivision has underground electrical lines, the lines into the area are not...so I'm praying all will be okay...especially since I have no generator, fireplace, or propane heater.

1. Ack Spy! I didn't know that about the electrical lines coming into your subdivision. I hope that everything is ok! Stay safe and warm!

2. We closed the office early today because of the ice storm and I don't know if we will go in tomorrow if road conditions are still bad.

3. Finally! I think I'm starting to get over my cold! Yay!!!! :-)

1. The boss and I got into a little bit of a fight today that ended with him apologizing to me.
2. Right before the fight, my son called to tell me that he doesn't get to take leave at the end of this month, which made me want to cry but I didn't.
3. My daughter is so big with child, I'm worried that she is going to have a tough time pushing him out, due date is 2/1/05.
3.1 I closed the company books in record time, but I worry if I forgot something.

2. icky icky icky.

1. Puppy - this sucks, huh?

2. Virtually everything is closed tomorrow - no work for me. The mayor declared us in a state of emergency.

3. I'm not positive how thick the ice is right now, but I'd guess about 1/2 inch. Of course, I'm terrible at guessing stuff like that. So far, only one major limb has fallen from the trees around my house - and it just fell on the fence, no damage.

4. I've heard from 2 co-workers who live within 10 miles of me inside the city who are without power. I'm not sure it will be restored anytime soon.

5. As of right now, our subdivision is dodging the bullet. Bad news is that tomorrow the winds are forecasted to be bad. You can stand outside right now and hear hear the trees swaying and creaking. With high winds...we're screwed.

1. utoh! keeping all of you in kansas in my prayers! they were predicting that crap for us, too, but i dont' think it's supposed to get cold enough now.

2. tonight i went to the used cd store looking for the joss stone cd, and found not only it, but also the ashlee simpson cd that i've been wanting! woo hoo! apparently this week my music taste is R&B. changes from week to week. lol

3. i also bought a new navel ring. i haven't bought a new one in literally years. this one is a plain ol' stainless steel cbr (captive bead ring, for those of you not familiar with body jewelry, lol), but instead of a bead, it has a red diamond-shaped jewel holding it together. it was one of the cheapest ones they had at $11.

4. i have cramps! blech!!!

5. today was advantage day in our house. kitty is not a happy camper. you would think they would be grateful to you for trying to keep them flea-free, but NOOOOO, they have to get all mad and act like you abuse them. lol. she's been running from me all night since i put it on her.

6. eta, spy glad to hear your street is still with power! here's hoping you'll stay that way! do any of your neighbors have backup heat?

1. Spygirl, if Flyboy were there I'd say that would be sheer heaven being home all iced in with your sweetie, a fire in the fireplace and an occasional free hand to sip some Bailey's.

2. Then again, it might be fun to build the fire, pour the Bailey's and call Flyboy to tell him what you WOULD be doing to him if he were there.

3. Massive flooding here, and should turn to ice and snow in the next 24 hours. Can you say skating rink?

4. Can you say "Goddess drives a smoking hockey puck?" I thought you could.

5. Actually my car is named "The Ashtray", it just doubles as a hockey puck in bad weather.

6. Right now Colossus is test driving the new 50-gallon water heater by running the dishwasher, washing machine and taking a 5-hour shower all at the same time.

7. Cay-rap. JBean beat me to 6. Uhhh . . . I got nothin.

5. My DH and I have stayed together 29 years just to p!ss off his family! big cheesy

6. I think Ollie's leg is getting better.

7. I couldn't figure out how to turn on my car lights or work the window squirter, yesterday! <it was very dark out with all the rain clouds and rain>

1. Interesting news from the insurance company.

2. The NCT (I have no idea what that stands for, lol) has declared a catastrophe for California following the stroms that hit from the 27-29. ETA: the NTC is the insurance company's National Catastrophe Team, they've had so many claims they had to bring in more adjusters. LOL, ran in to grab the paper Darren brought home earlier to find out who they were.

3. What this means is that it's going to take the adjuster awhile to get here since they are going by severity of damage.

4. It also means that if they determine the storms caused most of the damage to the roof, rather than time, they will pay to fix the roof.

5. Not sure if I should be too hopeful though. We had some leaking before this last storm, though it wasn't as bad as what we had last week. So they may decide it wasn't caused by the storm and not pay, or they may decide the storm caused most of the roof damage and will pay.

6. They will pay for the damage inside the house, which I knew. Bedroom carpets, tile in the kitchen, the wall, and cabinets (I was suprised they'd cover the wall.) Still not sure if it will be more than the deductible but it's worth a shot.

7. Spy, I'm hoping ya'll don't lose power, but if you do, go sleep at the neighbors! The pups are probably great to cuddle up with but not with no electricity and heat in the house!

8. Rain and more rain, ick. Have you guys gotten any, Kstme?

9. Gal, does that mean you'll be staying home tomorrow with Colossus, a fire, and Bailey's? Flooding is bad enough, but adding in the ice and snow has got to suck!

1. Good morning all!

2. Severe weather is everywhere. We're under a severe winter storm warning here in Northeast Ohio.

3. I'm hoping for an early release from school today.

4. I'm making my first meal in our new crock pot. It's going to be beef stew. I hope it turns out alright.

5. I hope everyone is safe and sound in Kansas. {{Spy}}

6. DD is all in a snit because I'm making her get out of the house and be social.

7. Preteens/teens can be a handful. Especially since I have to deal with them ALL day long.

8. DH is really enjoying his new job. We're finally able to afford both car payments.

9. I forgot my delicious lunch at home today. It was my famous baked ziti and garlic bread.

10. Whew! Ten facts are done :-)

1. War, YES, we've had and will be getting more RAIN by the weekend!

2. Those webbed feet I left in Seattle are beginning to come back!

3. Cami (the new puppy) will be going to her first show this weekend in PA. She's just 6 months now. Keep those fingers crossed...the sooner she champions, the sooner we bring her home!

1. I'm going to rest tonight and NOT go to a production. I need to go to the music store and grocery store. AND sleep.

2. I have listened to MILES of little skinny magnetic tape from radio broadcasts from 1948 and 1949. I just started 1950. I am weary. The good news is that these broadcasts are for children and my German is getting better by listening to them. I'm also getting really handy with that big tape machine. We are talking bigger than those old reel to reels, but the tapes are only 38mm and slipperier (is that a word?) than snot.

3. I found a BIG error in their archival numbering and they are missing a broadcast. DANG! I can't believe that I found two errors IN GERMAN.

4. Big Brother is still on in Germany. They have about 53 days left. I think that they are in the house for a year. There are some different people on it than at Thanksgiving. They still have the three areas of the house divided with jail bars. I don't think that they would have any problem getting people to be in the house because unemployment is VERY high in Germany, and lots of people wouldn't have to worry about losing a job that they didn't have.

1. Still iceville here.

2. I did manage to get to work.

3. Of course I had to chisel my way into the car, chisel the car out to get here, but hey what's a bit of excercise?

4. We've had schmutz coming out of the sky all day.

5. That means more chiseling after work tonight - and a lovely slow drive home.

1. Still snowing here, I guess they lied when they said it would stop this morning.

2. I'm waiting to shovel again after it stops. Can't even tell that I spent an hour shoveling last night.

3. They didn't cancel school, but I kept my son home anyway to take him to the doctor. He's had hives for a week.

4. So far we've tried three different medications but none have worked and now he'll be on Prednisone for 5 days.

5. I'm still keeping home from school, he looks like he has measles, and he even has hives on the bottom of his feet!

6. And to top it all off, at the orthodontist yesterday we found out we have to crank his jaw expander AGAIN for two more weeks, and he won't get his braces off now till June. Sigh.

1. Send some snow our way Kar....we lost all our snow last Friday. We had just the right amount for snowmobiling etc. Now it is cold and dull out.

2. Cannot seem to get into working today..have so much to do, but I just don't feel like doing it

3. Have both computers home and working again...it has been over 24 hours and so far no problems {whew}

4. Planning on going to the 2005 Canadian Figureskating Championships in 2 weeks. I have a full week ticket, although if I could attend Wed-Sun. I would be happy.

5. However, may not be able to go to most of it. My mom may or may not come and stay at our house for a few days (depends on weather and her big schedule (shes retired) Dh cannot look after them all the time - he cannot cook and has to do barn work etc. I would be gone about noon until late at night

6. Dh gave me a suggestion of just going for 1 day....gee thanks so much for me ever getting a break. I have no one else to babysit or stay at the house while I am gone and have no where to ship the kids too.

7. Ok..now I am more depressed...good thing I only have 7 facts

3.1 Kar...has your son been tested for food allergies? I would frequently get hives at the end of the week because back in the good old days you ate fish on Friday, and I'm allergic to fish. I also get them from mosquito bites (hmmmm your weather isn't right for that) and for a bunch of medications. Hives are horrible. Anti-histimines didn't help? You have to be careful that he doesn't get hives inside his throat and that breathing is ok. Good luck!
