1. What would we do without the schtickler? 2. The weather is going to be hot hot hot here for the next few days. 3. Luckily, we are leaving tomorrow to go to the coast to visit my parents, although it is supposed to be warm there too, at least it won't be in the 90's! 4. I am so behind on posts here, I have no idea what is going on! 5. I am taking my son to the gymnastics place again today, he had so much fun last week I just can't not take him. 6. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week, I'll be back Saturday!

1. Last week we filled the kids pool up. It was a great day, we spent most of it outside on the back patio watching the kids swim. We bbq'd and ate dinner out there and really enjoyed the chance to have a nice quiet family day. 2. The following two days the wind got wicked, lol. And it got cool enough they couldn't use the pool. The pool cover was no help because when we pulled it off, the pool was filthy with leaves and dirt. Darren drained it and I told the kids we'd clean it out and refill it. 3. This morning Dakota and I have been out there cleaning it and rinsing it out. (Also took the chance to once again clean the patio off...ah the fun of living in a windy desert, one day you sweep, then next day the winds brought it all right back, lol.) 4. She's sitting out there now in her bathing suit filling the pool. She just can't wait for it to finish. 5. I can already see how my summer is going, lol. Kids will have their swimsuits on and be waiting for me when I get up. They'll spend all morning out in the pool, eat lunch on the patio and then complain because they have to spend the afternoon inside (100+ temps, they're not playing out there!) The great thing is after a morning of playing in the pool they're usually so worn out they come in and spend the afternoon resting and plying quietly. Then about 6, when they can go back out, they'll be standing here in their bathing suits and spend the evening in the poor til its bed time. 6. Dang, I miss being a kid. Those long, lazy summer days you had nothing to do but play and rest. 7. I love summer! Love being able to open the doors and windows early in the morning and being able to hang around outside til midnight without freezing.

1. I'm off today and tomorrow. Yippee!!! I have so much stuff to do around my house though that I won't really get to enjoy them. 2. My grandmother's memorial service on Saturday was really, really nice. It was very touching and a lot of people had such wonderful things to say about her. She will be greatly missed by many. 3. After the memorial service, my sweetie took me to the lakehouse and we had a very relaxing day on the lake just lazing about on the dock. I really needed that. 4. Sunday was a yucky day. I worked a few hours at my job, watched a few movies that we rented and then went to bed. Not very eventful, lol. 5. Today was supposed to be miserable, but so far the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I'm actually getting laundry done! 6. I plan on cleaning this house today, at least get it looking semi-normal again. Maybe if I get all my stuff done I can get to the lake again tomorrow. 7. I hope everyone has a great day!!! 8. War beat me to 7...gosh I must type slow.

1. today was not the best day for me. 2. i slept horribly last night, i think it was around 2 am when i finally went to sleep. 3. also, this morning, i couldn't find my allergy medicine that i just bought last night, so i had to go the whole day with a stopped up head. NICE 4. i have been having bad dreams lately. not scary dreams, but ones where differernt people in my life let me down. i don't know why, this couldn't be further from the truth. 5. summer is my favorite season. except at work. definitely not my favorite at work. 6. a friend from work is having a suprise b-day party for her husband on saturday. i don't want to go because there are always a bunch of kids there (and these are drinking parties), and after last weekend i am all kidded-out. 7. also the party is at this guy from work and his wife's home. i cannot stand the guy. he is on my list of people that need slapped. i probably will end up going anyway, tho, because i don't want to hurt my friend's feelings. 8. lia on the radio was just saying that 2 couples bid $15,000 each to eat dinner with faith hill and tim mcgraw at their home. wouldn't that be nice? they both seem like lovely people in real life. the proceeds are going to a program that martina mcbride set up for abused women and children. awwwww. 9. i still have not paid my personal property taxes which were supposed to be paid by 12/31 of last year. oops. i have to though, soon because i have to have the paid receipt in order to get my license plates renewed. gotta love the government. 9.333 i hate the song "amazed" by lonestar. they have way overplayed it from the time that it first came out. yuck!

1. Ya'll know my sweet innocent angel, Dakota? 2. Well get that image out of your head, LOL. 3. On the way home from the bus today she started a fight. 4. Earlier this year Caleb's buddy pushed her into the gutter. Now the stories are conflicting. She swears that he did it on purpose, he said it was an accident. This was about six months ago. 5. Today she decided to get even. She started kicking him and kept at it until he started to whack her with an empty gatorade bottle. Finally Caleb and the boys older sister had to step in and seperate them. 6. Did I mention this boy is 7!??! 7. They got home, Caleb didn't even wait to get in the door. "Mom, Kota started a fight with Austin!" She was totally unapologetic about it. Told me that she did start it and was kicking him and she did it because he pushed her in the gutter awhile back. 8. She wasn't too happy that I didn't see it the same way as she did. she got sent to her room and tomorrow she will be apologizing. 9. She's been very unhappy lately riding the bus, today was one of the first days since that started that I didn't go down and pick her up and let them walk home alone. 10. Considering what she did today, you can bet the next three days they won't be walking home alone anymore!

1. My son finally got his driver learning permit yesterday!!!! Of course things did not go smoothly in getting there. I look up on the internet what we need to bring: certified birth certificate (check), picture id (check), driving class paperwork (check), social security card (where the **** is that card?). Looked in my important paper files, found the paperwork the card was attached to, but no card. Tore apart my house trying to find it. The only thing I can think of is that my ex had the card in his paperwork and it burnt in the house fire in January. So.....ex and son took a trip to SS office to obtain new card and off they went to DMV to take the test. Woohoo!

1. I'm in Illinois and my mom is chomping at the bit to get on the road to Iowa. I don't have my presentation handouts done yet, but I think I will have time to do them. 2. Got my plants all here basically in one piece. I baked an impatiens plant, but the others just need a little water. My car is full of pollen, but my house is now plantless. This is a good thing because movers don't take plant. Now all I will have to transport are the candles and cleaning supplies and perishable food. WHEW!

1. I have a date tomorrow night with ASL guy. 2. Then tonight at the grocery store, I ran into another man whom I dated briefly two years ago. He wants to get together also. 3. This is all very weird. 4. Being single is a lot simpler and I have galactic trust issues right now. I just don't know. But I guess I will just have fun and not sweat it; they are both great men. 4.872 ONE more day until summer vacation!

1. Tonight is not going to be an easy one me. 2. We just got a phone call from MIL that SIL's car is broken down at the Ocean. 3. MIL now wants DH to drive the 3 hours there and 3 hours back (plus how ever long it takes to try and fix the car) with her to go rescue SIL, her GF and the 2 screaming kids. 4. Tomorrow is the day DH is supposed to go to court to find out what's happening with his case. 5. Like I didn't have enough to worry about. Now I have to wait and worry that they all get back here safe, and he gets some time to rest in between so he doesn't look like a escapee from the funny farm tomorrow in court.

1. I hate aphids. They're miserable, rotten little bugs. 2. I think Lancecrossfire is clairvoyant. (OK, that's not a fact about me, but hey...) 3. I am very much looking forward to the Las Vegas get-together in July. I'm a bit intimidated because everyone seems to know everyone already, but who gives a heck! I'm going anyway and I'm gonna have a good time! 4. I hope all works out with your husband's court date tomorrow, Mygetaway. Our family is going through a legal situation too, and I can sympathize with the worrying. 5. TV Guide Canada made me mad today. (That sounds weird, but it's true). 6. The past two weeks have been super-mega-stressful. Thank goodness for going to the gym. It's a great stress reliever.

1. I'm so off on days lately I'm not sure I even know what today is! It's amazing I haven't missed any of the commitments we have this month, lol. 2. Darrens birthday is tomorrow. I have no plans for it yet. This is going to sound like I completely forgot, but I really didn't. I knew his birthday was on the 17th, but I thought the 17th was next week, so no plans. 3. Since he's working 12 hours a day again, I figure tomorrow I'll cook him dinner and bake a cake and we'll leave the celebrating til this weekend. 4. Tonight was Kota's pizza party at Chuck E. Cheese with her baseball team. I hate that place. Too many uncontrolled kids, too hot, too busy. Kota had fun right up until I told her it was time to leave. Luckily they had stamped our hands going in because the way she was carrying on they probably thought I was trying to kidnap her! 5. Just as i was getting the family into their beds, we start hearing a loud bang noise coming from the houses somewhere behind ours. Finally figured out it was fireworks. Caleb's upset because it scared him and he's tired and wants to go to sleep. 6. I get him calmed down and the kids tucked into bed for the second time. Come out and sit down at my desk, I'm watching Harvey (our dog) run circles in the backyard going nuts over the fireworks when the not so bright neighbors send up one of those that has fire or smoke or whatever streaming from behind it. You shoot them straight up in the air and they scream. Harvey goes completely frantic, I listen to this thing for a few seconds, then see it heading right towards my house. It landed in my backyard right outside Caleb's window, a couple feet away from where the dog was! 7. I grabbed the flashlight out of the drawer and went running out to make sure it didn't set my bushes on fire, dogs still going nuts, and I hear Caleb just sobbing in his room. I finally got him calmed down and sent him to sleep in Dakota's room. Her's faces the front yard and while they could probably still hear the fireworks in there, wasn't too likely we'd have another one land right outside the window! 7.5 I'm still so mad about it! It was too close to my kids window and too close to my dog. Not to mention that fireworks are illegal inside city limits! With it as dry as it is here there's a good reason for that! I did call the cops, don't know if they found whoever it was, but it's been pretty quiet since then.

1. I can't believe it's Thursday already. I have SOOOO much to do for this weekend. 2. My DH's Grandmother turned 92 and we are having a party for her. Noone wants to run it so of course I feel bad so I said I would do it. (ya know - in my spare time working full time with 2 kids and a hubby that works late everynight). 3. It's also Father's day so I need to shop for that too. 4. I guess I will be cooking most of the night on Friday. 5. Oh well - she ia sweet lady and I'm happy to do it for her 6. We had a great time on our vacation. I will post pictures when I have time to download them. 7. Any suggestions for what to cook for Saturday? 8. Well, I guess I better go and do some work!!

1. i am treating myself to a good dinner tonight. i picked up a cooked lemon pepper rotisierre (sp??) chicken at the supercenter, and cooked a can of yams. i think yams should be called YUMS. lol 2. that may also be the best chicken i have ever had! no kidding! 3. normally, i eat like a bowl of cereal or something of that nature for dinner, so this really is a treat. 4. i have been watching sex in the city on tbs this week. so far i like it. i don't like miranda's character though. she grates on my nerves! 5. yesterday was my sweet niece's actual birthday. i can't believe how fast she is growing up! i remember her being born like it was just yesterday. now she is 5! 6. today was kind of a blah day at work. we had 2 meetings, and then of course lunch and break, so we were removed from our work 4 times. also, there was a woman from the custodial department in our area painting all day...mostly my station, she was kind of in the way. we didn't hardly get anything done. 7. tonight i am going out. i can't wait....bring it on! i even know what i am wearing already (usually that is a huge issue). wastin' away again in margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt...... 8. i bought some bananas at the store tonight too. i got this an email forward today about all the benefits of eating them. there are a lot of them. not to mention i love them! 9. only 6 more working days until i am on vacation! WOO HOO! i cannot wait!

1. I got an email from my far away guy on Monday that he wrote to me at 3 in the morning. 2. He's working 10 hour shifts at the plant during the week, then he's working 12 hours days on the weekends driving a truck. 3. This is making me think all sorts of things, and I can't make any desisions about him, because our communication is so limited right now, but I like him very much. Argh, I'm frustrated. 4. I have gained about 6 lbs, and I feel yucky about it, but because of my health issues right now, excerise is very limited. 5. However, I have gone swimming the last couple of days, and felt I got a good work out from that. 6. Yesterday, I got some bad news from my GYN after she examined me. 7. Seems the complications are adding up. There is now an area of mesh they use for supporting the tissues, that has begun to erode into the vaginal wall. 8. I go in for another surgical procedure on Tuesday to correct it. It will be outpatient this time. 9. This really messes up my summer, and activity plans. I just want to heal from this, and it appears that is not the case yet. 10. My mom bought a new car and gave the old one to my neice, so now I'm driving a nice new car. It just makes me wish I could afford to get and have my own car insteading of depending on her for transportation.

1. As of today I have 4 more weeks to work and then I am on maternity leave for a year. 2. TGIF 3. Lkunkel has asked in the daily update what the rules are in this thread and I don't think anyone has posted an answer to the question. I don't remember when this thread first started up so I'm not sure if there are rules to follow other than adding your facts in numbered order. If the last person posted 4 facts....you do five, then next person 6 until we reach 10 facts. Then we start all over again. Simple huh!!
