1. Good luck finding an apartment, Jbean! I am going to check out your folder as soon as I finish in here.

2. Today I am going to visit friends in Newport News.

3. It is raining and I hate driving in the rain. At least it is only a 90 minute trip so it shouldn't be too bad.

4. I feel very tired today and I shouldn't. I slept well last night.

5. I've never seen Weeds. I've been watching Six Feet Under and CSI:Miami on DVDs.

6. Tomorrow is my niece's 3rd birthday party. She is such a sweetheart. When I was over visiting last night, she found the tattoo on my lower back and tried to rub it off, ROFL!

7. Have a great weekend, all. :-)

1. I finally got to catch an episode of "Weeds" the other night and I love it-love all of the actors as well!

2. I am so glad I do not now nor have I ever lived anywhere near a path of a hurricane.

3. I hope everyone makes it through Katrina safe and unharmed.

4. I have been fighting a cold for a few days and it hit me like a ton of bricks today.

5. I not only have an ear infection now, but laryngitis

6. This is the third time I have gotten laryngitis this year alone. No fair

7. At least I can still talk to my friends at the CH!

8. I am going to go to the store and stock up on all the "woe is me" stuff (OJ, tissues and chocolate!)

1. The Packer game was a lot of fun last night.

2. We went in knowing they were going to get their butts kicked, so it wasn't a disappointment that they lost. It was expected.

3. It was really, really nice out until sometime during the 4th quarter.

4. Then it rained.

5. I had run my jacket under the faucet before the game and it seemed waterproof- turns out it wasn't. It helped, but I was still wet. plus I forgot my rain pants.

6. Oh well- lots of people left and it just made it that much easier to spread out. You don't get much space on those bleachers!

7. Took forever to get home though. Almost an hour to get to the highway, then a slow trip back here. Got home around midnight.

8. I hope we can get to a few more games this year. it really is a lot of fun. I met all the people sitting around us. The group behind us was from Wausau and it was their first time- they kept calling people and shouting into their cell phones that they were at Lambeau. Show offs. Haha.

9.

1. Kaili's last two facts made me LOL!

2. Jbean's fact about flea meds also made me LOL!

3. It's nice to read facts that seem so simple, yet hilarious!

4. Prayers to all in the path of the hurricane. F.R.O.G.

5. Good luck to all of you who are moving.

6. Lkunkel, stargazing will be awesome, but don't forget the bug repellant.

7. I watched a silly movie last night, Without a Paddle. Two men were trying to catch three guys who found their weed farm, and the men ended up burning down their own crop!

8. Hope all of you who have been sick with headaches, sore throats, and other ailments recently will get well soon.

9. Hermione, I have second cousins in Newport News. I've never been there, but the family is having a reunion there soon.

10. Can you believe August is almost over?

01. I just went school supply shopping for our little neighbor.
02. I think I got him everything he needed.
03. WHY do kids have to bring anti-bacterial soap?
04. I also tucked hand sanitizer and a pocket pack of tissues for him in his one big box.
05. He actually has 6 pencil boxes--one each to hold black pens; red pens; colored pencils; and markers--one larger one to hold the four smaller, plus his highlighters, scissors, etc.
06. The sixth pencil box is the only licensed item I got him--Batman--to hold his compass, protractor, calculator, lead pencils, erasers, and computer disk.
07. He's worried his computer disk won't hold everything he needs.
08. I reassured him that the list stated he only needed one.
09. He was so happy as I labelled almost EVERYTHING with his name so his siblings can't swipe anything.
10. How do parents afford buying supplies for more than one kid?

10.1 Hit the stores when they're having huge sales, Lk, lol! I ended up buying 40 notebooks for Caleb cuz they were 0.10 a piece a few weeks ago. He should be good for the year, I hope!

1. Darren ran off this morning, early early, to go deep sea fishing with his work buddies. They should be just about done and heading into land now since he's supposed to be home around 6pm. Me and the kids have spent the day cleaning. Something doesn't seem quite fair about that!

01. War, had I known I was going to be buying school supplies, I probably would have.

02. I didn't get sucked into the school supply drama until this past week.

1. I have a wee bit of War in me.

2. I've been cleaning out my closet and drawers for the past 3 hours and I've finally seen the light!

3. Ever since I turned 50, my body re-shaped itself and now most of my clothing fits too snug.

3.1 I did return to Curves on August 1st for my 3-4 per week workouts and I'm hoping that I can selvage some of my pre-50y/o body form.

3. Last week, it was our bathroom and my daughter's bedroom.

4. Next weekend, kitchen ,front bathroom and family room. Saving our room for last and then we are done for a long, long time!

1. Haven't posted here in months and months. Hi all!
2. Try buying school supplies for five kids! Yikes! I stock up and have a whole section in my basement for supplies, hoping they will last all year.
3. Somehow I think I got a great education without having to bring all these supplies to school. I know school supplies some things but we sure didn't need all the specifics they are requesting now. Each teacher nowadays has their own list!
4. DH has begun remodeling my kitchen. I am trying to be creative without an oven and a limited stovetop for a few days...
5......and, lots and lots of dust, nails, scraps, etc. all over counters and floor.
6. I know this is one more but I sure am glad I'm married to a handyman who can do the wiring, dry wall, etc.

1. I am going to post a few facts while I have the chance before I drop of the kids at my MIL and leave tommorow for my holiday out east:

2. My SIL had another baby on the 26th! A little girl named Cali. I get to meet her today.

3. We bought a nice little basket filled with a teddy bear, some knit caps, little booties and some t-shirts for her.

4. I have been busy cleaning house so now it is nice and neat for when we get home.

5. I just checked on the net about hurricane Katrina and my thougts go out to everyone who is dealing with having to evacuate, etc. I can't even imagine what it must be like to have to deal with that.

6. Like some other posters at TVCH our family has been battling the end-of-summer cold. We all got it this past week and I am hoping to be rid of it tommorow. The coughs are gone, now we just have stuffy noses to deal with. Nothing a little decongestant won't cure.

7. Have a great week everybody!!!! (I know I will....Niagara Falls, Mall of America, Twins game...)

01. I wanted to walk to the store; then I checked the temps: 111-degrees according to the thermometer at the school up the street.

02. I guess I'll wait until after 7P, when it cools down to the scheduled 105-degrees.

03. DH is definitely not the Al Borland...he's barely at the level of Tim Taylor.

04. Example: when he moved into his first house, the previous owners had left a jar of spackling in the upstairs bathroom. He left it there, thinking that it belonged there.

05. He has finally learned various names of tools.

06. He is looking forward to learning more about repairwork on the new place, maybe because he knows I can't do as much as I did.

07. Apparently America's Most Wanted started a new segment on Landscape Safety that DH wants me to check out online.

08. He asked if my landscaping will be safe; I know crime rates can't be that bad there, but I will make sure that we are safe.

1. I love my Cybersis Kaili and all of the pictures she shares! She's such a hoot!

2. I feel a lot better today although I still have an ear infection (can not hear out of my left ear at all) and my voice is completely gone

3. I had a GREAT time in Reno though with my friends last night.

4. I was feeling so horrible there wasn't much I felt like doing so some of the girls went and gambled and some of us went to try to have a "low key" Reno night

5. We found this GREAT bar with a live jazz band and just sat for hours listening/requesting songs.

6. We woke up and headed for a yummy Buffet.

7. I had 3 glasses of OJ, and a bite or two of just about any breakfast item you can think of

8. I didn't hit up any of the tables but on the way out I put $5 into a slot machine and won $300

9. I don't want my good gambling mojo to end!

1. Haven't been here for a while...busy busy busy.

2. Barn is coming along...hopefully will be done in 2 weeks will post some more pictures this week (promise)

3. 8 more sleeps, kids head back to school, woohoo.

4. I am sore today, we had our final ball tourney this weekend. Instead of playing our regular 7 innings, we were tied 3 out of the 4 games we were to play. So we after the 4 games we actually played 5 games with the extra innings.

5. WE WON the "b" division. This is 2nd year in a row for this. We were very happy.

6. I had to go and check up on the kids in bed around 8:15 last night and then decided I was too tired to walk downstairs again, so I went to bed....cannot remember when I had last had 9 hours sleep in a row.

7. Today I am taking my kids to my moms place, she offered to take them for 2 nights. This is something that is rare for me..so I will be looking forward to 2 days of quiet and hopefully getting some work done around here.

8. I purchased a new computer last week and I will be picking it up after I drop the kids off. So this afternoon I will be busy unpacking and figuring out my new toy. This should be interesting lol

9. Still enjoying the pool, the temperatures are seasonal now and some nights were cool last week so temperature in pool is around 72 but it still is refreshing.

10. I cannot believe the summer is almost nearing an end....where did it go? Perhaps next we won't be quite as busy to enjoy it with the kids more. Good thing we have the pool as they really feel ripped off of a summer. :-( I am sure September will show us some good temperatures and we will be able to go somewhere yet.

1. I got home from grocery shopping yesterday and one of the apartment's dumpsters was smoking. I called the fire department. The manager and maintenace guy were both gone. It seemed like the best option. I heard something explode in there (small, like a bottle or something) soon after I called.

1. Then last night we went to Tim's mom's house to hang out for most of the day. Tim's dog still lives there. She's so cute and sweet. She's almost 12. Reminds me a bit of Who's dogs.

2. Doncha think?

1. Good Morning Factoiders, and yes Kaili, I doncha.

2. CocoMan and I took ds#2 to the airport for his flight back to college.

3. I'm now glued to the TV, watching Hurricane Katrina coverage and saying a prayer for all those who will be touched by this major storm.

3.1 On a personal note, ds#2 will be getting the tropical heavy rains/winds into the next day or two as his college is in the projected path up the Ohio valley.

1. I'm going to post a few other pictures in my folder- Who! If you're here go look how alike they look!

2. Coco- what state, or where does he go to school?

3. I'm expecting it to be hectic at UPS tonight because of the hurricane- I'm sure a lot of packages will be piling up undeliverable for awhile.

4. Such a scary storm- unbelievable.

1. Argh I am so freaking frustrated! Dakota has to have an inhaler for school, not just the inhaler but the box it comes in with the prescription label on it. I have tons of inhalers, but no boxes with the labels, lol.

2. 9/14/98 Dakota was born (couple more weeks that'll be 7 years ago!) My sis and bil were married 9/19/98. That has caused confusion for years. Mom filled out Dakota's paperwork at her drs office and then came back to me a few months later telling me I'd put the wrong (9/19 instead of 9/14) date down. Come to find out she had done it, lol. When Darren was filling out the paperwork for the insurance, again 9/19. Now I'm not immune to this either, I'm always having to correct myself on the date, lol. It's not that I forget her birthday, but writing it down I almost always have to correct myself.

3. So for years we've been trying to correct these simple mistakes. The paperwork at the drs office was fixed quickly and I've never had a prob with them again, but the damn insurance is driving me nuts! We have called them many times, Darrens insurance person at work has called them many times, the drs office, the pharmacy, and yet after numerous corrections her birthday always ends up going back to 9/19.

4. How do these two connect? This morning I dropped off Dakota's prescription for her inhaler. I was asked our phone number, chatted with the pharmacists for a minute, and then birthday. 9/14, I said. 9/14 she asks???? Yep...argh don't tell me it's back to saying 9/19. Yep it is! Problem is until the insurance corrects her birthday I can't get the prescription filled. So she was trying to get them on the phone. I called Darren at work and he got ahold of the insurance lady who was also supposed to call. And I'm sitting here wondering how freaking long this is going to take! Pharmacist said it'd only take 20 minutes for the prescription....once the insurance changes the birthday. Why does this keep happening? In the past four months I've filled 12 prescriptions and haven't had a problem, lol. Only good thing is she isn't out of her meds so I don't have to worry about that, unless she needs it at school in which case I'll have to run up there and give it to her.

5. Took the kids to the county fair last night. Spent a couple hours wandering around and had a good time. We plan to go back Friday night when it's pay one gate night, all the rides are free, and because theres no school the next day we don't have to leave early. Kids were a little upset that we left by 8 last night.

1. DD is a very sad girl today.

2. We went to school to check on who her teacher is, and who is in her class (they used to mail them, they forgot!)

3. School starts Friday, one hour.

4. None of her good friends are in her class, its a small school, why does she need a friend? um art, music, PE, Drama classes, its better with a good friend.

5. She has a first year teacher, who worked 3 months as an aide with her 2nd grade teacher - I hope that's a good sign, dd can be quite a handful at times, and the teacher explained, not getting into a power struggle with dd, gave her a few tips (sending her in the hall, ignoring her, seperating her.. etc.. her first grade teacher always got in power struggles, and it was all MY fault of course!)

(I hate this part of school)

5.2 This is the time to talk about making lemonade out of lemons--and some new friends, Silly. Why not let her invite one of the girls in her class over for a sleepover or a movie (or something) to help her get to know someone new? The other parent and child would probably be just as excited to get to know her and you!
