1. Spitfire, I do think your fears are normal. With a second child we're more aware of all the bad stuff that can happen to kids and we realize even more how much we love them and how precious they are.

2. Froggie, holidays with all the inlaws can be fun, lol. Can also be very hectic!

3. Dakota's field trip for the museum is next Tuesday. Since Darrens off work I volunteered him too, lol.

4. He was a bit upset. Since the kids are out of school Wednesday this year it means we'll only have two days to spend together alone and I just gave one away.

5. Sis was supposed to watch the kids overnight Saturday. I felt bad enough about my boo boo I called her and asked if she'd watch the kids Tuesday night and then I'd take the girls Wednesday morning so she could get ready for Thanksgiving.

6. Now we have Monday alone while the kids are in school, Tuesday with Dakota's class, Tuesday afternoong/night alone, and then the kids for five days. Still need to figure out something to do with them while there home. It's not often we have everybody home for more than a day or two at a time, need to take advantage of it.

7. I finally got around to making a pair of earrings. I really like the way they turned out, but hate the color (amber) that I used with the silver hardware. I'm going to take them apart and try something else, maybe sapphire or a dark amesthyst.

1. Eddy leaves tonight for New York for one week.

2. Nicholas leaves tomorrow for Chicago for one week.

3. It's going to be me and Maggie for one whole week alone.

4. Yay!!!! As much as I love them both, it will be so nice to have time to myself!

5. I plan on doing all my Christmas shopping next week. I've started my list and I am checking it twice.

6. I'll have Thanksgiving with my dad, nephew and family friends which is great!

7. Eddy and I are going to Vegas the first week in December so I need to shop for that as well.

8. Happy Thursday everyone!!!!

1. I am new to this thread. I spent the day reading everything posted before now, even the archieved stuff. I now feel like I know you all.

2. My house is in major need of a "wargod" but as someone before me said (pages and pages ago)I don't stay home so I can clean ;)

3. If you are wondering, no i don't have much of a life that I was able to spend the day reading factiods about people I didn't know before I started reading.

4. From Froggiegirl621's description of her weather yesterday I believe she lives near me as it was an accurate description of my weather yesterday.

5. I live in Southeastern Pa. With my 2 daughters, 1 cat, 1 dog and a member of the opposite sex who is supposed to be a husband but isn't much of one.

6. I did used to work but I do not anymore.

7. I stumbled into TVCH during Big Brother this summer and liked it and decided to stick around.

8. This place is HUGE and everyday I find something new to read. Sounds like a really nice fun group. I feel comfy already, hope you all take to me as I've taken to you!

9. According to the 'rules' this is my last one but I have more to say, guess I'll have to wait til someone else posts so I can continue to ramble on.

1. Hi, everyone! I haven't been here in a while. Been busy with various things.

2. Sunday my buddy, Chris, and I went to Forest Lawn to see Rick James' gravesite and take pics and I couldn't believe he still has no headstone! He died Aug of last year. I think its a shame.

3. On Tuesday it was 68 degrees here and this morning we had lake effect show and it was very windy and cold. I better see lots of sand on the porch stairs and walkway. I don't think I could go through another broken leg.

4. I've run up against a bit of a problem in pursueing my dream but I'm sure I'll get it resolved one way or another. Ack paperwork!

5. We are spending Thanksgiving the same way we do every year. Going to hubby's sister's house. I love their 4 kids like they were my own and I hope the oldest 2 will be there. One is in her last year at the Coast Guard Academy and the other is in her first year at college.

6. I love getting hugs from the kids. They are great kids.

7. Hubby starts his new job very soon. Nov.22. We're both excited! He'll be doing something he loves and that counts for a lot. Its going to be awfully hard on him working 2 jobs for a while though but we need a cushion for when he quits the current job and takes a pay hit.

8. Hopefully he won't be taking a hit for too long. He gets the impression that people move up fast there or at least get raises. Here's hoping.

9. I have a boatload of catching up to do here! ACK! I shouldn't stay away for so long! At least I'm having fun these days! Yippee!! Love ya'll!

10. ACK! I should have refreshed sooner! Okay here's 10! LOL

1. Thanks Landi, big hugs right back at ya

2. Vacanick, yes I did and it was quite interesting homework at that!

3.I shall now continue rambling.

4. I usually spend my days doing stuff for my youngest daughter's home and school association. (she is in 2nd grade) My best friend is the President but she has her own company and it very busy so we come up with the ideas together and i do most of the behind the scenes work and she deals with the public speaking and answering questions, fielding complaints etc. We've been doing this for 3 years now and it works out well for both of us.

5. My older daughter is 15 and none to pleased with me, report cards came home and there were a few letters on it that I deem to be UNACCEPTABLE so computer time and tv time is now gone til her next progress report. I hate pulling the "mom" card and don't do it often but it was warrented.

6. Does spelling count?? If so I am S.O.L!!

7. I am a reality TV JUNKIE I love most all thats out there except for Fox's attempts, I have found most of them to be just plain silly!

8. Survivor is on soon. Bye bye Bobby Jon last week, here's hoping Stefanie goes tonight. I liked her on her first season but not so much the second time around.

9. I am not susally so self centered by my mind is swimming from all I;ve just read today. I laughed and cried and grimmaced many times during the course of my reading today. So as not to leave any one out. BIG HUGS TO ALL!!!

10. SillyCalimomma: what hapened after the japanese dinner?? have you heard from him again???

DANG!!! well I am not editting.. ;)

2. i'm going in to work at 5 am tomorrow, that means i should probably be in bed by now! oops

3. i'm getting a flu shot at work tomorrow. i don't usually get the flu, but i've noticed that when i get the flu shot, it seems to really help with duration of colds (which i hate more than any other illness...even throwing up and stabbing myself in the hand). yes i hate colds THAT much!

3.3 welcome, erinbear, you caught on fast! glad to have you in the facts thread!

happy thursday, factoiders!

3. Survivor will be starting in about 5 minutes...yay!

4. I just heard that the McCoy sextuplets have turned 8 years old...my gawd!, where does the time go?? <waits for Pamy to pop in when she see the first three letters s-e-x...>

1. Welcome Erinbear! You did catch on fast, way to go!!!

2. And you are correct, I am "near" you. I'm in northeast PA.

3. Today's weather wasn't as wacky as yesterday's. It started out cold and stayed cold...right now it's 28 degrees!

4. They were calling for a chance of snow flurries tonight so my little froggie eyes were focused out the window while listening to the the TV but not one darn flake! I still got cozy and had my cup of cocoa though.

5. Only 4 more classes left and I'll officially be done with school - thank God!

2. I have talked to Mr. ProcrastinationPaysOff since then, however we haven't made any definite plans to get back together.

3. Thats mainly my fault though since I haven't been feeling very good lately

4. I had the CT scan on Monday and still hadn't heard anything from my DR so I called today

5. They still hadn't received the results...ummm...ok, last time they got them the next day

6. I am going to see Harry Potter tonight at midnight with my brother and my ex....yeah, thats an odd combination!

1. Welcome Erinbear! Glad you're finding you way around TVCH!

2. Today has been an odd day and I'm in a funk.

3. About 1pm, I had a kid (about 15 or so) knock on the door. When I answered it, he started out with, "All your neighbors say you're the only one who speaks English." At this point I'm checking this kid out, he looked a little upset and was holding his cell phone. I thought at first something was wrong and he needed help. Then he goes into his fund raiser pitch, selling stuff for his baseball team. I politely say no thanks and he wants to know why know one in the neighborhood wants to buy his shit (he actually said that!) I said sorry kiddo, but every child in this neighborhood has been doing fund raisers for the last six weeks, there's only so much you can buy!

4. Then, aliens kidnapped my family and replaced them with pod people. Darren picked up the kids from school and when they pulled up he asked Caleb to bring the trash cans from the curb and put them up. Caleb got whiney and didn't want to do it. He finally did but only after dad had a talk with him about everybody in the family having to help out with chores and this is one of Calebs.

5. After homework (which both the kids did with no fiddling around) I asked if they wanted to play a game. Oh boy, someone should have duct taped my mouth shut at that point! The kids started almost immediately fighting with each other. It turned into one of those, "he's touching me, she's touching me, mom make em stop!" things. Darren was getting impatient, the kids were getting grumpier by the minute. I finally told them enough was enough. I put the game away and went to read in my bedroom.

6. Eventually the aliens brought back my real family, lol. Caleb wanted to make book thongs for his student teacher and a part time science teacher they've had in class. The part time teacher is going on to another class, while the student teacher is going to another class. Both leave tomorrow. While I was helping him with that Dakota and Darren got busy tickling each other and ended with reading a book together. Now that's my family!

7. Tomorrow I have so many errands to run. I'm wondering if I should wait til Darren and the kids are home and do them then or do it early. Nothing that can't wait til later in the day, but it might be easier to do it earlier!

1. Welcome Erinbear..I have a surprise for you...go here to YOUR OWN FOLDER

2. Well, about 1 hour north (or probably less) got a couple of inches of snow yesterday.

3. It is cold enough to snow here, but nothing so far. I am sure the kids would love it, perhaps tomorrow morning there will be snow on the ground and it being Saturday, they would then be outside for the entire morning playing.

4. Today we ship the first batch of pigs out of our barn. It was nice to get the barn up and running, however to start shipping means that we will finally see some money coming back in since the fire in March.

5. I am going today to bottle wine. My friend and her sister and I got 3 different batches made up that we are splitting.

6. If memory serves me correctly, we have made white chardonay, peach and cranberry

7. Got some more Christmas shopping done yesterday, a couple of small things, but things are progressing nice and smoothly this year. Yipee. I like being ahead of the game

8. Have a great day all

1. Mornings, bleck.

2. Time for my positivity pep talk--

a. Harry Potter and the GoF opens today!
b. We have 5 classes on the library schedule today.
c. It's Friday!
d. Peppermint coffee-- YUM!

3. Okay, I can now make it. :-)

4. Loved Survivor last night. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

5. I was out of town last weekend and didn't get to see my nieces and nephews. I have plans with sis and kids tomorrow and I'm excited to see them.

6. Glad the aliens brought your family back, Wargod, LOL.

7. My hearing aid died on me yesterday, but it is fine now. Thank heavens!

8. Still have that leak in my toilet, though. Time to get out the wrench and see if I can be a dynamo woman and fix it myself.

9. Happy Friday, everyone!

1. Yeah. mornings. Blech.

2. Good morning Hermione!!!

3. It's Harry Potter day! Tim doesn't want to see it until he's finished the book though, so he's reading at home and has the CD in his car. Get this- he listed to Harry Potter while he was working out last night. LOL

4. It snowed again. it wasn't supposed to. Grrrr.

5. My supervisor actually apologized to me last night for being a jerk when I called in. Ha. He's actually a really nice guy, but he's young (19 or 20) and gets stressed and doesn't handle himself very well. He gets whiney too.

6. I'm so, so happy that it's Friday!

7. Tim has to replace my fuel pressure regulator this weekend. Stupid part was $60 and of course I had to get it from Hyundai. Oh well. At least I on't have to pay for labor.

8. Why 10? I don't have 10 things to say! I just got up! I haven't even made coffee yet.

9. I had a dream last night that I was still living in Racine, in high school, living in my old house, etc. Well, I wasn't necessarily in high school, but I was living in that house. Someone was following me and looking in my windows and I ran to the neighbors house and he was pounding on the door to get in there.

10. I hate dreams like that and I've had them before. Probably why I'm so convinced that I'm going to be murdered. Weird, huh?

2. The gas people still do not have my stove hooked up, so my house is cold, too.

1. Wargod, have you looked in the sky this week? It wasn't aliens that abducted your family, it was the full moon that invaded their psyche.

1a. Glad your supervisor apologized to you Kaili. We all have dreams that are scary. The good news is that you saved yourself!

2. House repairs are always something I tackle myself, unless it's a job too high or too heavy. Good luck with the toidy, Herm and your stove, Jeep.

3. Having the house to yourself can be a very calming thing, Vacanick! Be sure and plan some time for things you cannot do while the house is full. Like making book thongs - uh - I think they may be a thinner version of a book mark?

4. My computer still quits after 20 minutes and must rest. I think I got a lemon.

1. Serenity, book thongs are beaded bookmarks. You slip the center part in your book then the top hangs over the top of the book with the bottom part coming out of the bottom. Er, picture would be better, lol.

a

2. It is cold here this morning too. We keep the thermostat turned to 68 in the living room over night, just enough to make the living room not freezing in the morning. Unfortunately the kids never remember to shut the hall door so we end up losing what little heat there is once they get up.

3. Darren has to work tomorrow then he's off for six days.

4. Today is report card day! I'm so excited!

1. Good morning factoiders.
2. Last night I bought a Christmas Present for DD. A new bicycle (and it was only $45) and it's so cute.
3. When I got back from the store, I was able to paint my nails, pluck my eyebrows (much needed) and when I got in the shower, I GOT TO SHAVE MY LEGS! It's been so long, I forgot there was skin under there.
4. DH is putting on some weight. He says he can't button his workpants anymore. Now I don't know if there is something wrong with me, but I am thrilled he is putting on some weight. He is one of those "skinny guys" and I always feel like his "fat wife" even though before I got pregnant our weight was within a couple pounds of eachother. I don't want to weigh more than my husband. Also, him being so skinny, he looked tired all of the time, at least he looks healthy now.
5. DH is off today and he and DD are having "daddy daughter day". They are going to come by and take me out to lunch. Food doens't sound good this morning though.
6. I ate so much stuff yesterday. I had an omlet for breakfast, a slice of pizza for lunch, and a big turkey sandwhich for dinner with a scoop of Ice Cream. My stomach was so big last night I looked due. I can't do that anymore.

1. Kaili, I can sympathize with your dream and feelings as I've had similar dreams and thoughts in the past and in hindsight, I could chalk up my dreams and feelings to the stress that was surrounding me at that time.

2. War, you cracked me up with describing a book thong and then deciding to post a pic with the description...lol!

3. I had a major medical physical done recently and I was told that my "bad" cholesterol is obnoxiously high and my "good" cholesterol is obnoxiously low.

4. I was given some choice in how to get myself back on track. Pure medication, 3/4 medication along with diet change or 1/4 medication along with diet change and exercise.

5. I opted for the 3rd route and I'm taking it seriously. So some medication for me, lots of low cholesterol foods and back to Curves 4 times per week.

6. This past year I've gained some of the weight back that I lost 2 years ago and I knew the weight was coming back on but I didn't do anything to stop it and now my health is involved, so I'm concerned and I'm determined to be pro-active in turning myself back to a healthier lifestyle.

7. I really, really liked last night's episode of Survivor!!
