1. Gross alerts are part of having children! Nice to see you posting, Jewels, and glad the little one is okay.

2. I wish I was still in Miami. I've been a little blue the last two days missing being there.

3. South Beach was definitely a highlight of the trip. I just wish I had seen one topless woman, LOL!

4. I got a new tattoo of a shooting star above my left boob. I'll post a picture of it when it finishes healing.

5. The train ride was interesting, but LONG. I really need to get over my fear of flying, especially because they want me to come back next summer.

6. I start back to work on the 22nd.

7. The best thing about going back to work is the start of football season!

8. I will probably go out of town again this weekend to visit my folks. Part of why I chose a shooting star for my new tat is that my mom and I love to catch meteor showers and the Perseids meteor shower is mid-August.

9. They live in the country and as long as the sky is clear, they have ideal conditions for viewing meteor showers. :-)

1. I have company.
2. I don't know how long she is staying.
3. She is a friend of hubby's from years ago.
4. I have to sneak in here every so often to catch up on the board.
5. Otherwise I am "entertaining".
6. We went out for dinner tonight.
7. Chinese buffet. YUM.
8. Tomorrow she is going with us to doctors appt. and then for some shopping and dinner.
9. I'm so glad I DVR BB since we were out while it was on.
10. As soon as everyone is asleep I can watch it. Yaaaaaa!

1. I found out tonight the kids go back to school TUESDAY! LOL, I knew it was coming up but I really thought I had another week because I just didn't think about today being the 9th. Since we're leaving town and not coming back til Monday evening I have to take them tomorrow to go school shopping.

1. The kids aren't up yet. I am on my 2nd cup of coffee and it is so nice and quiet.
2. I am trying to figure out how to compress pictures so I can post one my girls in my folder.

1. I'm trying to figure out if I want to make the updates seperate for Tuesday and Thursday.

2. I've got 8 pages in Word already. I love long updates and I thought a huge whopper of one would be fun for everyone tomorrow.

3. Only thing is, I'm concerned about dial up people because there's quite a few pictures in there.

Kaili....split it up. If there are lots of pictures people have troubles opening if on WebTV or dialup.

1. Watched BB for the first time. YUCK! I can't believe that this is the show, along with Survivor that led me here.

2. My pool is still emerald green, but I have shocked it several times and put in a whole bottle of Algaecide. I have about 1 foot of clear water on the top. MARM IS NOT HAPPY! 3 more days of running the filter full time will probably clear it up.

3. Ellie is eating more and comes trotting when I open the door. Back to normal.

4. I am having trouble adjusting to being in the US. DRIVING is really a problem! The grocery store really freaked me out yesterday. I am enjoying the television and my caffeine free Diet Mt. Dew. Americans are LOUD! I am forgetting vocabulary...like what is that really big cooler-like container called...the thing that I put the pool supplies in?

Have a great day, everyone!

Kaili, in your 2nd update I think you should pose the question, "Who is this woman?" (cuz she sure looks like Seamonkey to me! --but she is not.)

1. Definitely school time again! Both my kidlets woke up with sore throats.

2. Dakota decided to take it up a notch and was up at 6 am throwing up (she was gagging over all the yucky stuff in her throat.)

3. Caleb says he's feeling better and isn't running a fever, so I'm dropping Kota off with mom and taking him school shopping. She doesn't need a whole lot so I'll just pick up what she does need and wait til either later this week or Monday evening to take her to pick up a back to school outfit.

4. Sis wants me to make my youngest niece a baby book. Can't believe I didn't when she was born, lol. Poor kids almost 2 now and still doesn't have one!

5. I need to get my van back into the car dealership, somethings wrong with the alarm. When we were gone last week, Dakota walked up to it and opened the door, setting the alarm off. Door never should have opened with the alarm being on. Not to mention that neither one of the remotes for it is working well. Mine barely works at all while Darren's does ok. We're hoping to get that taken care of today or tomorrow so I've been waiting on them to call me back.

1. Been a while since I have posted here

2. Life is still busy as ever

3. I have posted an update on how the rebuilding of the barn is coming in my folder - included are many pictures too.

4. I have also added some pictures of the kids etc.

5. I cannot believe we are into the second week of August already. I am happy that my kids do not go back to school until after Labour day weekend.

6. Hoping your kids Wargod will feel better soon.

1. Oh what a night

2. I really wish I had friends in real life - I think I need a shoulder to cry on...

3. Oh wait, its just hormones...

4. On second thought its teenagers!!! :-)

5. At 3 pm it was just dh and I for dinner

6, At 6, it became a meal for 7 - and oh what ameal!! DD8 mouthed off one too many times, and I actually hit her!! (bad mommy! I am still crying about that mind you! I did apologize to dd, and to the girlfriends... it was horrible! DS#1 informed me of his plans for the weekend, and we had a discussion to accomadate everyone's schedule to visit "the Lake" - my parents place... then the bombshell, he expects us to help him transfer mid year to a "private college" from a community college - and I sure dont want to be the one to say no, but good gawd, his grades, his hearing impairment, his kidney stones, his etc etc, doesnt leave him in the position to have grades to transfer, and dont get me started on our lack of funds, because thats where I have the biggest failure tattooed on my forehead. So yes, I started bawling, right there... luckily dinner was over. DS ran out of the house, his gf tried to smooth things over - Bless her heart!! Then ds#2 and his gf, we had a wonderful discussion on college - I was a "hillbilly (according to dh's family) and my family did not support me in any way... but with faith, and trust, and a miracle I did it, but because I'm not working, my dad was right, I'm worthless... but I will say I have a more open attitude with cultures, and diversity... and I try very hard to "pass that on" and ds gf believes that... as we have a lot of Jewish traditions we celebrate, more than she does (she's Russian Jewish) all in all, it was an eventful evening, and I'm exhausted....

7. I just need a someone to talk to, to share with... so I came here........ (and I hate that I"m still crying!!)

1 practicing some shoulder exercises if you need one to lean on Reader

2. speaking of which - boy did my shoulder get a beating today..

3. i had gotten my boss a new computer for his home and dropped it off at 9am

4. THe computer came in one box labelled 70 lbs, with an image of two people carrying it

5. my boss lives in this old school converted to apartments

6. he lives on the top floor - 3rd third - with no elevator

7. he broke his toe last week and is on crutches and so i (somehow) carried that computer box up to his place, and set it up for him.

8. as soon as my clothes were dry from that sweat i go out at 11am to Staples to get supplies and carry that for 4 blocks.

8.1 i also had rowing and only 2 women at practice today (small practice over all anyway) so i rowed in the men's eight

8.2 pretty good day overall :-) but way too short

1. The pups woke me at 6:20. I took them out and went back to bed. Mom brought them in at some point, they went promptly under the bed and fell asleep before she could get back here with leashes to walk them.

2. Mom woke me up before 10 with the phone in hand, my.. well, I guess DF for dear fiance would work, right? My DF was on the phone. I talked to him for a little bit, that was really nice.

3. I was up for a while, I showered, took the dogs out again.

4. Somewhere around lunchtime, I started dosing off again, after I gave the dogs lunch. My allergies are really bothering me and I slept til after four.

5. Mom made chicken and veggie packets and grilled them, they were VERY yummy.

6. Mocha was digging while we were eating, mom failed to tell me Mocha was digging where she was watering.

7. Mocha was FILTHY...



8. Both pups got a bath. Then I took a shower cuz they had me filthy.

9. The pups got a walk tonight where they did their business very quickly.

10. I'm about ready for bed. Think i'll pop in a movie and write Jonathan before passing out.

1. I'm heartbroken. No Big Brother for me tonight. The Packers have a home game. I love them and everything, but WHY TONIGHT!? Why on a night that should be good, or at the very least interesting?! I'm calling CBS!

1. I'll probably miss tonight, too, Kaili. I will be at Kings Dominion and sincerely doubt I will get home before 10 p.m. With my luck, I will probably get home only to learn that I can't post for a week because I lost my bet with Tobor!

2. I was supposed to go up to my parents' for several days, but I don't think I can leave my cats alone again for that long so soon after Miami. They are showing signs of stress! One of them is chewing the hair off her legs and another went to the bathroom on my bed!! So I am just going to go up with my sister tomorrow and come back home Saturday. Hopefully tomorrow night will be clear skies so Mom and I can catch some shooting stars. Speaking of shooting stars, here is my new tattoo--

1. Oh, pretty, Hermi! I love it. Did it hurt much?

2. Mocha looks like trouble is her middle name to me! (Yeah, that one, too!) How cute!

3. Legal, what is WRONG with you? Are you outta your mind, girl?

1. I love the new tattoo. You tattoed lady you!

2. The pups are just so so cute. I want one!

3. I really want a beagle and I am going to be working on that.

4. I don't think my 3 boys (cats) will be too happy about it though.

1. I haven't posted in the facts in awhile.

2. Not that I don't have anything notworthy going on...well, maybe I don't..sheesh.

3. It's work all day, come home and spend alot of time reading the BB threads.

4. Wife thinks I am a lost cause.

5. Oh and keep your fingers crossed for her...she has a good job interview this afternoon.

1. Just finished the Harry Potter book. SIGH....not as good as the others, but enjoyed all the background info. That's all I'm going to say in case someone is still reading.

2. My pool is still green. I vacuumed it today and left the vacuum running on the floor of the pool. The top water is fairly clear, so I hope this will help. There was a ton of sand on the floor of the pool. I don't know if that was left from before the pool filter was repaired or not.

3. My house sitters are not on my good list right now. Besides the pool and the unpaid bills, I found cat hair all over the dining room table cloth. Ummmm Ellie is an OUTDOOR cat, and when I DO let her in, she isn't allowed ON the table, for cripes sakes.

4. I am making chicken wings for supper tonight. I am enjoying being back in the kitchen.

5. I'll watch BB tonight, maybe I'll get into it a little more. I'm really finding that American TV is a huge waste of time, but I keep it on while I'm reading or working to track time. I have watched some good movies, but summer TV on the networks is really crap! Enjoying having Survivor on the Outdoor station. Can't find TAR....I have G4, and I used to have GSN, but I can't find it. Is TAR still on?

6. I am like a ZOMBIE! Tired, exhausted, etc. I think that the travelling has caught up with me. Maybe I'll stay home for Labor Day weekend. I was thinking of NYC, but I don't think that my budget OR my body have recovered yet!

1. My kids are driving me crazy.

2. Why don't they listen to me?

3. I feel like I am talking in circles.

4. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

5. We are leaving to go to the beach in the morning and I have absolutely nothing ready.

6. All I've heard all day is "Mom, I need this. Mom, I need that. Mom, Jenna hit me. Mom, Jake looked at me. Mom, I want some juice. I don't wannna and I'm not gonna." Sheesh. Some days I just want to run away.

7. Vent over.

7.2 No kidding, Skootz. I feel like I am getting walked all over. They are finally watching a movie so maybe I can get 20 minutes of peace because I know they will be bored with that in a minute. Ugh. Soon, DH will be home and they are his for the rest of the night I tell ya!

1. Kaili, the picture of my tat is pretty close to actual size. The picture may be just a bit larger. And, of course, it is blurred a bit.

2. HP, it didn't hurt at all! And I had another hottie tattoo artist, so that helped! Seriously, of my 3 tattoos, only 1 hurt. My pierced tongue didn't hurt either. Nor did my pierced navel. I must have a pretty high tolerance for body modifications.

3. Now I want another tat. They really are addictive. I still want to get one on my butt. I know I can never talk my sister into getting the sisters one, so I'm thinking I might get the Chesire cat from Alice. I swear I will stop at 5 or 6!

4. I just got home from Kings Dominion about 30 minutes ago.

5. I had a blast. My nephew and I played in the wave pool for a long time and then we rode some rides.

6. I'm glad I don't have to stop posting for a week, LOL!

7. Tomorrow sis and I are taking the kids up to Mom and Dad's just for tomorrow and Saturday. Should be fun.

8. The Perseids meteor shower will peak early morning tomorrow and Saturday for those who may be interested in trying to catch it. :-)

P.S. Nick, cute picture of your girls!
