1. LOL Twinks, I'm not so sure it is energy! More like if it's not done it's going to drive me nuts!

2. I look at it as my job. I don't get paid, I don't get much vacation or sick time, but I also don't have to get work dressed and it doesn't usually take an 8 hour day, lol.

3. Today I turned into mean mommy. The kids made a mess in the living room as soon as I turned off the vacuum!

4. Made them clean up their own mess, then had them do a couple loads of laundry and clean their rooms.

5. They're positive I'm the only mommy who makes her kids do chores and that none of their friends have to do any, lol. I actually caught myself telling them tales of "when I was your age!" As in, when I was your age and we lived with granny, every Sunday was cleaning day. We cleaned from the time we got up til it was time to get ready for bed. And when we moved out of her house and mom, and later step dad, were both working swing shifts me and sis did all of the housework, except for laundry which was a family chore. Picking up your own messes, cleaning your rooms, taking out trash, and washing dishes and doing a couple loads of laundry every few days isn't going to kill them, lol. I certainly don't hear any complaining on allowance days!

1. I wish I could channel the power of Wargod, too!

2. I woke up at 1:30 a.m. this morning and could not go back to sleep.

3. So I got up and made some brown rice for lunch today.

4. I finally fell back asleep around 3:30 a.m.

5. I'm tired.

6. Therefore.... mornings, bleck.

1. Morning all

2. Well today is a new day

3. Not sure what we are going to do about the pool, have to get the leaves out and hopefully we can salvage the cover

4. Dh is ticked off as he is "spending" too much time with the pool, so I think I guess I will just do it on my own so he cannot complain about it

5 Julias hand is feeling better, looking better too. The flu she had yesterday is also better. I will help her study this morning for a hour or so for her religion test that she was unable to study for yesterday. I will send the others on the bus and drive her in a bit later.

6. I didn't get much sleep last night, awake on and off all evening, I hate that, makes for a long day.

7. I still am not use to the time change. This is crazy, but by 10pm I am so tired. Last night was the first night in a week I actually stayed awake until 10.

1. It is Monday, two more days to go for surgery Thank God
2. I spent the day yesterday with my best friend Donna and her baby Gianni.
3. I am so incredibly crazy about this child.
4. He is almost 11 months old. I feel like he is my nephew - because I don't have any.
5. There is a movie out (an independent movie) called Brooklyn Lobster.
6. If it is play near any of you, go to see it. I takes place in my neighborhood, shot on my block, with people I know. I know the owners of the place (his girlfriend l8ives in my building)
7. I have one more day of work today and then disability for a few weeks. But lots of physical therapy.
8. I cannot wait to feel better and do things again. I have been in the house most of the time for about 5 weeks now.

1. (((Ginger)))

2. I hope that the movie comes here. I will be sure to see it.

3. DH comes home Friday!!!

4. Lots of birthday parties this weekend in this thread. It was Noah's, my grandson's, birthday, too.

5. He had a Chicken Little party. First we went to the movie and then to his house for the party.

6. The Lady that works the Flea Market went to the hospital with a stomach virus. She became so dehydrated that she could not get up. So Saturday I could either work the booths or go to the party. I kept the booths closed and went to the party. Business is very slow right now anyway. DGS only has a birthday once a year!

7. Johanna, the lady that went to the hospital, called me from the hospital this morning. She is going home today. She was very sick!

8. We had a Sunday crop yesterday. Noelle, my granddaughter, sat at the counter with her album. I worked the store while everyone else cropped. Noelle and I worked together on her album. SHe finished 8 pages which completed her album. She worked hard, but she wanted to go home and play Lazer Tag with her brother towards the end. Lazer Tag was one of his presents that he had not played with on Saturday.

9. I hope everyone has a great day! I am off to work.

1. Ginger, I hope the surgery goes very well and you are up and running before long.
2. Thanks to Hermione and yes I did go to the cardio stress test even though I don't think I needed to.
3. I went Wargod on my carport and yard yesterday.
4. Spent 3 hours cleaning leaves off my driveway and raking them out of the front and side yard.
5. Did some Christmas shopping on Saturday and bought some $40 sweatshirts for $16. I love Mervyn's!
6. My dd and her husband went to a party on Saturday night, dd drank too much and blacked out!
7. It's scary to know that she could have died, I am pretty sure she had alcohol poisoing and was passed out in her own throw up.
8. She will probably never do that again.
9. It's monday and the boss is out!
10. I'm slow today!

.5 Ginger, I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you're up and about quickly!

1. Denecee, how scary about your dd, but glad she's ok!

1.25 A few weeks ago, we ran out of milk. Not really a big deal, except no one had told me we were low (I don't drink milk and don't use it often for cooking so usually have no idea how much we have) until the kids complained at breakfast that they had nothing to eat. I cooked them up some toast and eggs and decided to stick of sheet of paper on the door of the fridge for the to write things we needed. I explained what it was for and much to my surprise both of them have added quite a few things to the list. This morning I grab the list (I'd never even read it,) dropped them off at school and headed to the grocery store.

1.5 First on the list, bananas. I'm impressed, not only have they jumped into this and helped with the list but they even know the way I like my shopping list organized, with fruit first. Uh huh, like it'd be that easy, lol. Next up chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, cherries, cookies, chocolate milk, lunchables, and on and on it went, lol. Here I am standing in the grocery store, a list of junk food in my hand and 1/2 a clue what I needed. I managed to get most of my groceries I needed since we usually run out of the same stuff the week after I shop. That'll teach me though to read the list before I leave the house and check the kitchen, LOL!

1.75 Then I come home and pop a bagel in the toaster (this bagel I've been thinking about since I got up this morning and the only one I have!) Walk out of the kitchen and go to my bedroom for the laundry basket, come back out and my bagels on fire. Oh boy, it's gonna be one of those days, LOL!

1. I want to go to Kady's mom's for lunch! Yum. Hope her comfort food did help, and I'm sorry about your friend, Kady. November is a bad month for our family because we've lost so many at this time of the year.

2. I enjoyed the weekend so much! It was nice having my family around to spend time with and I always love going to the air show.

3. My ds Kit is not eating well again, but is doing better than he was in February. I've had to add another relaxing/pain pill to his daily dose because his hips are beginning to be painful to him at night.

4. Today was a good day at the shop, and I got phone calls from my sis and dad when I got home!

1. Gracie, I'm sorry to hear Kit isn't eating well and has been having pain in his hips.

2. {{{Kady}}} I'm so sorry about your best friend.

3. Dakota was wrong about her field trip. Instead of the fire station it is actually to the art museum to see an Ancient Egyptian Exhibit. They've been studying Ancient Egyptian life in class to get ready for it.

4. Her teacher asked me if I could help chaperone Thursday. If they get to go. There was some screw up between the teacher and the school secretary and right now the trip is in doubt. I told her yep, I'd be more than happy to go. Darren and I have been planning to see this exhibit since we heard about it last year so I'd love to check it out beforehand.

5. I have a sinus headache tonight that I just can't shake. I'm waiting up just long enough to take some more medicine (10pm) then I'm heading to bed early for a change.

1. Hello factoiders! How is everyone today?

2. I'm in a slump today...well not just today, more like the past week or so. I just don't feel like doing much of anything. Work is a chore, school is a chore. I just can't shake it.

3. I think it may be the weather/change of seasons. I just have this want to stay at home, curl up on the couch with a blanket and relax.

4. Only 8 more classes left for me this semester and I can not wait until it's over! I'm just not as "into" it as I was last semester, not sure why.

5. Once school is over I will hopefully have more free time to take up a hobby or something fun like reading. I just don't have that much "me" time lately which may be contributing to this funk that I'm in.

6. I should really start writing the thank-you cards for the wedding gifts we received. I wish Steve would help me do them but I'm not sure I can trust him to write an appropriate message.

2.1 Froggiegirl I would call this the post wedding blues. You are so excited for something for so long and now it's finished and you only want it to happen again. I felt the same way for awhile after. I just kept saying that I wanted to get married again....it was sooooo much fun!

1. Today was the due date for a very important paper in one of my classes, and me (being the wonderful student that I am) waited till the last minute to turn it in

2. Something great turned out because of my procrastination though

3. Since I had to actually go to the college to turn it in and I was a half hour early I took a seat in the empty classroom and pulled out my books to read while I waited for the teacher

4. This very handsome man walks in and sits down across from me. This is not my normal class (I was just there to turn in the paper at literally the last minute) so he asks what I am doing and we start chatting

5. One thing led to another and he asked me to go out to dinner...right then!

6. We waited for the professor so I could turn in my paper, he skipped his class and we went out for Japanese food!

7. It was so great, he is so handsome.....and well...just great...and I am out of facts! More to come!

1. Yay Silly! Sometimes procrastination pays off in a big way! Glad you got to go out and have fun.

2. Today is my nieces second birthday. I went out to see her earlier and took her a Mr. Potato Head. She was busy riding her new battery operated four wheeler (ya'll know the type I'm talking about right? They don't go very fast, they're hard plastic, and made for little kids.) She started riding over to me, I thought to give me a hug, Ha! She crashed into my shins and sat there turning the accelarator til I moved, lol. Yep, she was real interested in me!

3. Caleb is sick today. The cold is back dangit. He spent most the day laying around the house and playing with legos. This morning I wasn't sure how sick he really was, I knew he was but questioned if he could make it through the school day. Seeing him lay around the house all day though, he never would have made it through school. He was feeling slightly better tonight.

4. My friend who offered to sell some of my beaded stuff called tonight. She wanted to know if I had any necklaces and earrings.

5. Hmm....nope, I don't. Other than making a few for the girls, I really haven't had anyone to make them for before. I'm going to try a few necklaces and a couple pairs of earrings and see if I like them. Maybe a couple matching sets. I've never done earrings so that will be new.

6. I'm hoping to get her a few things by the end of this week or begining of next. I've been going over the stuff I do have. Restrung a couple bracelets cuz I wasn't happy with the clasps...ok, I managed to put them on backwards and just realized it today, lol. I don't know how the heck I managed to do that!

7. Dakota's field trip has been postponed. The teacher says she turned in the paperwork to the office three weeks ago. The secretary says she never did turn it in. No idea who's mistake it was but the secretary wasn't able to set up a tour for the class for this week. We're hoping for next week, but it could possibly be 2 or 3 more.

8. My sweet angel got into a screaming match with a boy in her class today. She took a couple books to class this morning about Ancient Egypt. I walked her up and set the books on her desk, her teacher wasn't in the room but knew I was bringing them. One of the books is the kids, one mine. The one that belongs to the kids has their names in it because one of them, Caleb?, had taken it to school before. Anyways, when the teacher told the class they'd look at the books tomorrow, thank Dakota for bringing them in, this boy claimed they were his. According to Dakota (which totally blows my mind because she knew!) her teacher pointed out the books had Kota's name in them and that I'd let her know yesterday Dakota would be bringing them in. That wasn't enough for my little angel. She started yelling at the little boy that they were hers and she had brought them in. She comes home with an 8 on her behaviour sheet (fighting with a classmate) and I ask what happened and she tells me. I really don't get it, lol, and tell her that! The teacher has already told the boy she knows the books are Dakota's so why did she start yelling at the kid? Dakota's answer was so simple, "Because he LIED mommy!" Great, she knows lyings wrong but doesn't get the idea that maybe yelling at this kid in the middle of class might not be a great idea? I guess I'm just lucky she didn't haul off and punch the kid, thats a positive right?

1. Got the pool closed yesterday for the 2nd time this year.

2. We had beautiful weather to do it, It was sunny and nice out, so it wasn't too bad as it was nice to be outside.

3. We are getting thunderstorms this early morning and some much needed rain.

4. We don't usually get thunderstorms in November, we can easily have some snow on the ground already.

5. I think the kids are all better now

6. All the kids are in school today, so I HAVE to tackle the office work (accounting and cleaning) I cannot believe I have gotten behind again..grrr

7. It was cool seeing Costa Rica in TAR last night again. My brother has a place very close to Quepos where the pit stop was. Kinda neat to be able to see the area that he spends half the year at. Someday I will see it for myself (someday lol)

8. Cannot think of anymore facts and I have to post this quick before the hydro flickers or something with the storm and I lose the entire post

Have a great day all!

1. I have been so horrible about keeping up with the board the past week or two.

2. I don't remember the last time I posted in here.

3. I've been a full day sub Monday and Tuesday this week.

4. I was supposed to be a full sub today, but after school yesterday, I started getting sick. And today.. I don't feel much better.

5. It's a throat/sick tummy thing. Even if there weren't the sick tummy, I don't think I could talk loud enough over the kids with my throat the way it is. It would be the same class I had yesterday, and they were chatty.

6. My mother-in-law is flying in Friday. I hope I feel better by then.

7. I actually hope I feel better by tomorrow night, hubby will be coming into town.

8. I wish the army would make up its mind. With deployment dates moving, they now say they might let hubby out.

9. I need to go feed my puppies.

10. I hope they find another sub for that class.. I'm ready to go back to bed. I love you all!

1. I love getting 1, so I am going to take full advantage of it! The construction business is sure dog eat dog. AND that being said there is nothing worse in a dog eat dog world, than a b*#@% in heat. That's me today folks and they'd better watch out! I don't remember those commercials that show us all riding horses and waterskiing, dining in evening gowns, showing us sporting construction hats and steel toe boots. The dog pound is going to be something today.

1. Hi everyone!

2. Yesterday a young man dressed in a nice shirt and tie came in the store. I thought he had just wander in and he would wander back out when he realized where he was. I asked if he needed any help and he said yes that he was doing a scrapbook. Well, he is doing one of him and his girlfriend with baby pictures and then pictures of them together. On the last page he is going to propose to her with the ring on the page.

3. Isn't that romantic? He said he wanted to do something special. Her aunt had made her a scrapbook when she graduated from high school and she loved it. That is where he came up with the idea.

1. That's a realy cool idea KP! And something the gf will be able to keep forever!

2. Kids have sports day at school tomorrow, they can wear whatever sports outfit they have. Dakota's going in a baseball uniform, sort of. She's got a hat from one team, a shirt from another, and will have to wear blue jeans because the one pair of baseball pants I could find are too dang dingy even after trying for a couple hours to whiten them up. They're fine for little league but not for school.

3. Tomorrow the kids have half a day of school (then they're out Friday.) It's also report card day. Goodies for me! I just love report card day.

4. We actually have a quiet, no big plans weekend coming up! No parties, no big family gatherings, no trips out of town. First time in about a month, lol. We do plan to take the kids window shopping to help them make Christmas Wish Lists. Dakota's planning to ask Santa for a dirt bike. I was a cool mommy, hehe, told her if Santa brought her a dirt bike she could ride it anywhere and anytime she wanted to. Figured it was better than trying to explain yet again why there was going to be no way on earth she'd get a dirt bike. Seriously, Dakota's scary enough with both feet planted firmly on the ground, I'd be having daily fits with her on a dirt bike!

2. My brain has been mush lately, not sure why but I hope it doesn't stick around too long

3. DD had a field trip today to the Fish Hatchery to learn all about the Salmon

4. One of her favorite foods is Salmon and all she could say was "its yummy, what more do I need to know?" lol, thats my kid

5. It is getting close to midnight, I should try to get some sleep
