1. When Dakota was into Dora, I had more of a problem with Dora traipsing through the woods, to mountains and over lakes while talking to animals she shoulda stayed away from with nothing but a backpack, map, and a monkey. She was the type of child who'd have gone off on her own adventure given half the chance and I'm pretty sure she didn't only because we couldn't take our eyes off of her.

2. Tomorrow I'm scrubbing my own house top to bottom. Won't have much time this weekend to do it. Hire litte sis, Escapee, being pregnant with a little one and working full time you could probably use a break.

3. Caleb washed dishes all on his own tonight. I'd like to say he did it cuz he wanted to but I'd be lying, lol. We gave him no choice and told him he is now old enough to do dinner dishes on his own (usually I wash and they rinse.) Even though we forced him to it, he did better than I expected. He washed and rinsed dishes, wiped the counters and stove down, and swept up the floor!

4. Dakota picked up the living room. She did do that on her own. Vons is selling those plastic bracelets that are big right now (like the Lance Armstrong Livestrong bracelets.) These are pink for breast cancer awareness with the money being donated. She saw it one day and said she wanted it. I told her she had to earn the $2. Little did she know that I bought it for her earlier this week so after she was done, I gave it to her.

5. Better not cancel that appointment Denecee! Better to go and be sure than to let something slide.

5.5 Hermi, I hope the blues lift soon and that tomorrow is a brighter day for you.

6. I talked to my little adopted sis earlier. She was cracking me up talking about all the heck she's going through being pregnant. She is so moody, going from tears to laughter back to tears at the drop of a hat (oh, that sounds horrible! That is not the part cracking me up!) The cracking me up part was her complaining about not being able to zip up her pants and feeling huge at 10 weeks and her swearing she wouldn't ever wear maternity clothes. I asked her if she planned the next 30 weeks nekkid, lol. I won't tell ya'll what she called me, lol.

7. I'm thinking tomorrow evening I may ask the neighbor kid if he wants to earn some money and babysit the kids for a few hours for us to go to dinner. Not sure if he has plans or not, but I figure it's worth a shot.

1. I am feeling better tonight. Thanks Weinermr, Rabbit and Wargod. :-)

2. I had to go to the doctor's today because I thought I was coming down with something, but I checked out fine. Can you say, "Hypochondriac"? LOL.

3. I probably wouldn't have gone, but it was Friday and I didn't want to risk waking up tomorrow even worse and having to go to a Quick Care place.

4. Maybe it was just something I ate or drank.

5. I bet it was the vegetable soup I made the other day. I'm sick of that stuff, but I keep eating it because I don't want to waste it!

6. Wargod, good luck getting the neighbor's kid to sit for you.

7. Denecee, hope you kept your appointment!

8. Happy weekend, everyone!

1. I just want to say that I am so lucky to have two very dear friends in Hermie and Nic. My hussy rocks!

2. I remember the baby hiccuping feeling! I can't believe that my baby will be 20 on Sunday.

3. It's mine and my daughter's birthdays on Sunday and I think we've decided on going out for sushi.

4. I still have no clue on what to get her.

5. I'll be shopping tomorrow.

6. I am dying for a hot, hot bath and my bed.

7. I feel like this new time change makes my days drag.

8. Maybe I need to get a frap!

9. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

1. Went to Best Buy tonight. I don't like going there because I don't even know what half of the stuff is. Needed to get specs for equipment I need for a grant.

2. And I guess that I can't even read a calendar! It's due MONDAY, not TUESDAY. ACH!!!!!

3. And we are hosting a jazz festival all day tomorrow.

4. And I was supposed to go to a friends for dinner....raincheck.

5. And I am playing for church on Sunday.

6. It is quarter til nine and I just got home and fed the cats and have some meat grilling.

7. I got up at 4:30 am this morning for some unknown reason.

8. Did you know that Matlock is on WGN at 4:30 am?

9. JujuKitty is getting braver. I can pet her while she's eating.

10. Ellie is looking really old and tired. Still can't meow!

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll be writing away on the grand proposal.

1. ok, i'm doing 10, too, because a lot has happened tonight.

2. tonight i had my first real ER visit. i was cutting a slit in a pot pie to cook (for my spoiled dog, no less) and was aggravated that it wouldn't cut, and cut right through the pie, and the tin pie pan into my left hand!

3. OMG! i didn't even know it went into my hand at first til i put the pan down from a little bit of pain and blood went everywhere!

4. i didn't know what to do or if i should go to the ER so i tried to call my mom, no answer on either of her phones. i knew that my friend would be nearby, but that she was in jazzercise and no way to contact her, so i called my sister who lives all the way across town. she said we'd better go, so she and BIL came to get me...it took them 1/2 an hour to get here.

5. went to the ER and i was in intense pain. the knife didn't go all the way through, but it hurt like hell anyway.

6. they got me in and out (with stitches and a tetanus shot) in under an hour. not bad at all.

7. the nurse was not very friendly, though. and besides being in pain, i was also freaking out because i've never been to the ER for myself before. (in almost 31 years...amazing, isn't it?)

8. anyway, she stitched it up, and my middle finger is pretty numb still...it hurt pretty bad after the numbing shot started wearing off.

9. they prescibed me some antibiotics to fight infection, and told me to take ibuprofen for pain, instead of giving me pain medicine. we're hoping the numbness in my finger goes away, and that there is no nerve damage.

10. my sister and bil then took me out to dinner at the bandana bbq restaurant (it's new, and it's GOOD!) BIL and i both had a beer, too, and i feel a little better....oh, and so you all know, that mean nurse told me to use the hand, so it's ok for me to be typing. :-)

1. Youch Jbean! I'm glad you're ok and your sis and bil could take you to the ER so you didn't have to go alone!

1.5 I once cut my finger open in much the same way. Holding a bagel in one hand and cutting with the other. Between the cut and the stitches, the worst part was the tetnus shot, lol! Hope your cut feels better very quickly!

10.2 Oh nooo jbean! I am just reading about your ER visit and your stitches and your tetanus shot and the mean nurse and your antibiotics, and dinner with your sister and bil......what a night!

10.3 Well, I know that you got your dinner, but did Miss Lola get hers too?? heh..

10.4 In all sincerity, I hope the numbness in your finger goes away. You poor thing....how scary that all must have been for you. I'm glad your sister was home...

10.5 Tonight I stopped by to meet my newest furbaby niece. My sister got a 9 week old Chi and guess what her name is??? LOLA!! True!

1. Hubby told the school today that he would take the job. He's going to try to work both jobs full time for a while until we can save up some money. It sucks having to take a pay cut but at least he'll be in the school system now and hopefully a better paying job will come along. He starts Nov.22 so we still have time to hear from the other school job that pays really well.

2. Today I went to the eye doctor and he said it may take a few months for my eyes to go back to normal. ACK! But he also said that I can wear the magnifying glasses when need be and they won't ruin my vision. So now I can pursue my dream! YAAAAA! More details to come later. I still don't want to jinx anything. LOL

1. I've been up and chatting with a friend since 7 a.m. That's a little early for a Saturday morning!

2. Jbean so sorry about your hand and hope you feel better soon. And I'm sorry about the mean nurse. Her name was Carolyn?!? That is just wrong! Carolyns should all be sweet and nurturing!

3. Twinkie, good luck to you guys!

1. Jbean, sorry to hear of your hand...I stabbed myself with a knife about 2 years ago,it does get a bit painful after the freezing comes out...it will feel a bit better in a day or so.

2. Twinkie..good luck to both of you

3. I made a big pot of chile for supper tonight..yum yum yum.

4. Tonight our local village is having a night Santa Parade. The kids don't all know about it yet, so I can bribe them all day to be able to go to the "surprise" tonight lol

Have a great day all!

1. Sorry to hear you got a booboo Jbean!

2. A piece of glass sliced my middle finger a few years ago, but I was too scared to go to the ER

3. Big mistake-I have a huge crazy scar and numbness in that finger now....shoulda coulda woulda

4. Pup Buddy woke me up this morning right at 7am. This is the time we usually get up during the week so in my sleepy state of mind I thought that my alarm didn't go off

5. No worries though-dd put me in my place when I tried to get her up and going for school-"Mom!, It's Saturday let me sleep!"

1. Twinks...It's always cools to be able so see. Also cool to be pursuing a dream! All the best to you!

2. Jbean...OUCH! Big hug to you!

3. I woke up with hives this morning. My lower lip was so swollen that it looked like I was in a bar fight. So much for hosting the jazz festival. My boss sent me home after I had schmoozed with the teachers.

4. I'll be sleeping pretty soon from the Benedryl. At least the hives are only on both legs and both lips and one cheak/eye.

5. I need to finish writing that grant, and then most of the stress that is aggravating my allergies will go away!

6. Going to BIRMINGHAM on Wednesday! WHOO HOO!

1. We didn't get the neighbor teen to babysit last night and couldn't go to dinner. He's in the marching band at school and they had something going on last night. I thought about asking the next oldest, their 12 year old daughter (lol, under any other circumstances I'd never leave my kids alone with a 12 year old but her parents are right across the street!) Unfortunately she got in trouble the other day when she came home from school 2 hours late so she was busy being stuck in her room last night, lol.

2. One of our uncles has been doing home improvements for the last six months so he could sell his house. He bought some land out in the boonies and is building a new house. Last week he finally put his house on the market...four days later he had a buyer and the paperwork signed. He's got thirty days til closing. Everyone, him, the realators, the neighbors, the family, are totally surprised it sold so quickly and for more than he was asking! So for the next few weeks we will all be busting butt to get his stuff packed up and put in storage.

3. It's kind of a sad time. He's lived in that house for 20 years. We've grown up there (ok, not quite all of us, lol, this is bil's uncle so sis and I didn't really grow up there,) have had weddings, holidays, and birthdays there. In good times and bad his is the house we all get together at. It's going to be strange not to have his house to hang out at, lol. Not to mention we're fast approaching the holidays and this will be the first time in years he hasn't hosted at least part of the family festivities. The plan is to move his motor home to my sisters and he'll stay there until he has gotten power and water out on his land and then he'll move there in the motor home til the house is built.

4. He's so much the center of family life for us that his new house plans include five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den and a study. His land is about an hour from the city, in the middle of freaking no where and he wants to make sure when he hosts family events we all have a place to stay if we don't want to or can't drive home.

5. Youngest nieces birthday party was fun. Everyone showed up. The child ended up with 12 new winter outfits plus a ton of toys.

6. I was sitting there chatting with youngest adopted sis (who, at 10 and a half weeks pregnant looks fantastic) and she mentioned how many kids were there. I kinda look around and realized how very lucky we are. Through bil, we have a very large extended family, uncles and aunts and cousins and nieces and nephews. We're also surrounded with friends we've had since we were children. Most of the friends there were friends we'd had since elementary school, how cool is that?

7. After nieces party we went to Chuck E Cheese for the neighbor boys birthday party. I hate that place, especially on a Saturday night. Too crowded and noisy and kids running everywhere alone. Maybe it was having nieces party right before we went but the kids were just exhausted and didn't even put up a fight when we told them it was time to go!

1. Morning all

2. We went to a nighttime Santa Parade last night, it was really pretty

3. yes it is early for a parade, but I think with all the other parades etc. in the area they made it early so more people could attend.

4. The weather here for November is awesome...we were too hot standing around with a winter jacket on last night.

5. The temperature right now is 16C and that is almost 61F. - it is rainy but very mild...normal temperature for this time a year should be around 9C or 40F daytime and 2C or just above freezing.

6. Julia got bit by a yellow jacket hanging around in our house on Friday night. she woke this morning and her hand is 2x the proper size. So DH will take the other kids to church and I will go off to the ER.

7. Funny how this is working out as I have a cold and I was wondering if I should be going to church and In-laws after as FIL is on O2 and I don't want to get him sick with my cold and then Julia comes down stairs with her hand. (I will let you all know later how she is doing)

8. So my Sunday morning will be spent at the E.R. and then in the afternoon we are planning on going to friends for a visit and supper.

Have a great day all!

8.1 Update on Julia - she doesn't have any infection that would not set in until day 3-5 and she is only on day 2 - so doctor say it is just swollen from the bite etc. She is to take advil and benadryl for at least 4 doses (24 hours) and if it gets worse in this next 24 hours to bring her back in. They took a pen and marked where the infection/red area is so we can see if it gets better or worse. About an hour ago, it seemed to be a little less.

1. Well, I haven't done this for a while and 9 seems like alot, but its 1 less than 10.

2. Skootz, I hope Julia's getting better. Bless her heart, she's a trouper.

3. We went to church this morning. In Canada, next week is Remembrance Day. We had a special service to honour our veterans. It was lovely and thought provoking. Flanders Fields always makes me cry. A young girl who is a friend of our family, played Amazing Grace on the violin as background music....I really cried.

4. After lunch, I decided to clean the stove and strip the beds. Wish I had just picked one or the other, because I am still at it and its 6:30 pm.

5. I did get a bit waylayed by a dear friend, who dropped by for a visit. She hosted a dinner party we were invited to last evening. There were loads of scalloped potatoes left so she brought them by for us to have for dinner. One less thing I had to prepare for supper. She is a sweetheart.

6. I made some herbal tea after supper tonight. I haven't done that very often lately. It was soothing.

7. I saw the new front page for the first time. Another job well done.

8. My son just handed me his Christmas wish list. 15 years old and he still wants to get a jump on things. I shouldn't complain, without the list, I wouldn't know where to start.

9. This a going to be another busy week around my household but one I am looking forward to. Next weekend, my hubby and I are off to another retreat in Ottawa. I am looking forward to having someone else prepare my meals and make my bed!

Take care factoiders

1. my right arm is killing me from the stupid tetanus shot i got on friday night.

2. my hand doesn't hurt at all now, it's just uncomfortably swollen and bruised. (very pretty!) and part of my middle finger is still numb. it is a little less numb every day, so i'm hoping the numbness will go away completely, so i don't have to go to the "hand doctor".

3. went out for a little bit last night. it was flippin' cold in the bar! my friend complained about freezing her ass off all night. i was cold, too, but because of this dieting, i was more hungry than cold and was trying only to concentrate on that. lol. dieting sucks.

4. both last night and tonight i had boneless skinless chicken prepared on the foreman grill and no point soup. i think i forgot something in the soup because usually it's a full pan and this time it wasn't. whatever i forgot wasn't missed. it tasted darn good!

5. my mom felt bad that she missed my calls when i needed to go to the ER friday night, and actually came out yesterday for awhile. she brought my sister and neice with her. then we all went to walmart.

6. i am trying to sell my first item on ebay. i'm worried that it won't sell, because those tickets haven't been selling well. i started the bidding at face value. keep your fingers crossed for me.

7. lola got a little bit sick again this morning. i'm wondering if it's not puppy chow that's too harsh on her little belly, so i bought lamb and rice iams puppy formula for her. she loves the stuff! it's a huge bag, though, and i doubt she'll use it all before she turns a year old.

8. i hate mondays. i spend most of sundays dreading mondays...that's how much i hate them.

9. i've been having ezcema outbreaks on my elbows lately. it makes them itchy. i've heard people with allergies like hay fever, and people who are asthmatic are more prone to ezcema due to weaker immune system. i have year-round allergies.

10. i found a website today that sells discounted revolution. i spent $37 for 3 last time, and this site sells them for $25 and only $5 shipping. still $7 cheaper than at the vet's office. i love that revolution is for everything from fleas to heartworms.

enjoy what's left of the weekend!

1. Skootz, I hope Julia feels better quickly! Poor kid.

2. This week I plan to clean every inch of house from cleaning carpets and furniture to wiping down walls and cleaning windows and washing curtains and blinds. With the holidays coming up its time to start getting the house winter cleaned. Last year I did it Thanksgiving week (before the holiday, lol) and that turned out to be a disaster with Darren off work. No sooner had I cleaned the living room (taking everything off the bookcases, moving furniture, wiping walls, etc, etc, etc.) than he'd moved in a new tv, tore up the entertainment center and left a mess like nothing I'd ever seen before. Did I mention the new tv never worked. LOL, this year I've gotten smarter, I'll do it all before he's off on vacation!

3. Dakota has an all day field trip coming up to go to the fire department again. This has been a yearly feild trip since Caleb was 2 and in preschool, one that I have gone to each time the kids have gone. I really don't want to go again but Dakota wants me to. This is usually the most difficult field trip to go on because the kids have done it so often they're bored and don't pay much attention anymore.

1. I'd give anything for War's cleaning energy. I'm lucky to get the kitchen clean everyday.

2. Tomorrow I take my first step in making my dream come true. Ya'll please say a prayer and keep your fingers crossed that it works out.

3. Tuesday I go for the full pulmonary function test at 7AM. I guess we better get used to "normal" daytime hours since hubby starts his new job in a couple of weeks.

4. This is my favorite thread! I hope you all had a great weekend!
