1. Mamie! You know it's not in my purse! (That's where the glow-in-the-dark one is)

2. I'm hogging the Facts today.

3. Spitfire, congratulations on your baby girl!

4. In case anyone is wondering, I'm not really getting married, ROFL! I was proposed to today, but it was a joke. I think. I hope. LOL.

5. Dfennessey, I'm checking on the brother angle. If so, wanna double?

6. It's almost time to go get my toes done. I'm thinking electric blue.

7. This guy tomorrow is more into me than I am into him, I think. Who knows?

8. It's always so nice when you spontaneously and mutually *click.* Rare, though.

9. Hope everyone has a nice evening. :-)

1. I had my meeting with Caleb's teacher this afternoon. Said we were very concerned about his math grade, she said she was too. Said we're also very frustrated since he has no problem with math and shouldn't be getting grades like he's getting. She laughed (not a funny ha ha laugh) and said at the moment she has 20 kids just like him and other than 4 or 5 who are truly struggling none should be getting those grades.

1.5 She said I was one of several parents who requested a meeting and as she herself was getting tired of the kids failing for no reason other than sloppiness and laziness from now on she'd be making the kids check their work on a second peice of paper and turn it in along with the tests. He still has time to raise the grade though he won't end up with an A or even most likely a B. Hehe, she said Caleb complained that we go over his tests every week with him, lol. I told her how he said someone was erasing his answers and putting the wrong ones down, she got a kick out of that. We talked about how this has been going on since the begining of the third trimester and it might be nothing more than end of the year craziness. So fingers crossed between her wanting the answers checked and us continuing to go over and over the tests with him he'll get his act together.

1. Thanks Hermi! Caleb had a math test today. He got in the car this afternoon and told me his teacher made them use another sheet of paper to check their answers. Guess what? Caleb's test grade was a 95%!

2. We took the kidlets to Famous Dave's for bbq tonight. I may never eat again! We got home at a quarter to 8 and all three of them headed off to bed early, said they were full and tired, lol.

3. About half an hour ago Caleb came out of his room screaming in pain and in tears holding his right ear. He's running a fever too. I recognize signs of an ear infection and don't wait with those if I can help it so immediately called urgent care only to find out they had closed at 9pm. What goods urgent care if you can't get in when you need it?? I gave him some tylenol, got the heating pad out and him settled on the couch. He's dozing fitfully now and if he follows his usual ear infection route he should be up and puking within the next hour. I did leave a msg with the answering service for the urgent care so as soon as they're open tomorrow we'll be sitting up there waiting to see the dr.

1. I hope Caleb feels better soon.

2. Dfennessey, did you see my post in Right Now about the brother?

3. The pool opens tomorrow! I am so excited! Yay! Pool!

4. I need some "me" time this weekend. I don't know how you people with families do it. I am worn out from all the social interaction I have had lately.

4.2 I will keep looking. I don't think last night's date and I will be anything long-term, although I think he would like to see that happen. He's more into me than I am into him, poor man. We are very different and I think he would drive me crazy.

4.3 But I'll scout around as I continue with this madhouse my social life has become, LOL. :-) Maybe the next one (Tuesday!) will have a decent friend or brother and you can come on down in June for a double!

1. Caleb has a raging ear infection. Dr told him not to stick anything smaller than his elbow in it since Caleb told him he'd been using the corner of his towel to dry/clean his ears after showers.

2. Hermi, you have to sneak me time in, lol. The problem isn't so much in finding the time (cuz you can wait til the kids go to school or tell the spouse you need to get out a bit) it's actually doing it and not feeling guilty about it later cuz you could have used that "me" time to clean the house, do laundry, or any one of the other thousand things you should be doing.

3. After spending over an hour in the drs office this morning I have done nothing today. Need to get up and get to work though!

4. Dakota has a minimum day today and gets out in less than an hour so I really should get working, lol.

5. We're doing a small get together for Caleb's birthday Sunday (if he's feeling better!) Family and a few friends over for cake and presents. He still can't decide what he wants to do for the bigger event. He has to wait til some weekend that isn't memorial day so everyones here and not off camping.

1. It's HOT today! I'm in the middle of vacuuming the pool and had to take a break to let the crud settle to the bottom.

2. I am hoping for a pale green/sparkling blue by the end of the weekend.

3. Now it is slimy aqua with small floating chunks of brown leaves. BLECH!

4. I rescued a baby blue jay from the pool.

5. It is a beautiful day! I hope it stays this way all weekend!

6. I am making my travel plans: June 18-21 DeKalb, IL, June 22-26, NYC!!! (care to join me?) June 26-28 Manchester, England June 29-July 5 Munich: July 5-15 Salzburg: July 16-22 Munich and then I have to decide whether I will go back to Salzburg for research there or stay in Munich until Aug 7. Aug 8 in Manchester, England; Aug 9 in NYC or Chicago, Aug 10 in Springfield, Illinois.....then home! It will be a planes, trains, buses, automobiles, trams, and shuttles summer. I am limited to 25 kilos (what is that? 55 pounds?) in two pieces of luggage. WHOO HOO! <Marm sings "On the road again....just can't wait to get on the road again!>

1. We get our Disneyland tickets next week! Darren and I are secretly trying to decide when to go and we're considering inviting one of Caleb's buddies and doing that as his big birthday thing.

2. We always keep it a secret from the kids when we're going and they usually don't figure it out til we pull into the parking lot. It's always fun to watch their faces light up when they realize where we're going.

3. For our anniversary Darren bought me a diamond bracelet. Nothing too fancy but considering I usually buy cheap jewelry or make my own, this was special enough that we paid for an extended warranty on it.

4. While in Vegas I wore my bracelet to the funeral. We went out to lunch afterwards then back to our hotel and walking across the casino I happened to glance down and noticed the clasp was loose and it was barely hanging on. Today Darren took it back to the store to get it fixed. He'd forgotten the reciept and warranty at home so they wouldn't do anything about it. He said he understood that and no biggie he'd bring it back tomorrow with the reciept and warranty. Lady said oh no, the warranty doesn't cover the clasp. Yes it does! She pulled out a copy of it and said look it doesn't. Darren pointed to where it very clearly said the clasp was covered, she said, "No, thats for normal wear and tear." Well what the heck do you think this is???? It's not broken, bent or snapped in half, the damn things just loose.

5. He's fighting mad. The lady told him it'd cost $75 to fix the clasp on a bracelet that cost just over $200! He's going back tomorrow to talk to the manager.

6. He got back and I ran over to the pharmacy to pick up Caleb's prescriptions. He got two of them and I was expecting to pay $40. Well when the guy rang them up plus some tylenol I was wondering why it was less than I expected. Guy said that was just the way they rang up, one as $20 (which is our normal copay) and one as $15. I was walking out of the store trying to figure out why it was less, not paying attention to where I was going, stepped off the curb without realizing it and found myself on my hands and knees. When I fell the first thought I had was "Of course! The antibiotic is a generic brand," LOL!

7. I've got to say I must be getting a wee bit older. Used to when that'd happen I'd pick myself up, go home and wash the road rash (thumb, both knees and up one shin sigh) with soap and warm water and not think another thing about it. Man I've been so sore tonight! Sitting down, standing up my knees are popping and freaking hurt. I think I'm too old to be falling down like that anymore!

7.5 Caleb's been weird today. First he's laying on the couch crying and holding his ear, then he's feeling fine. Then he's back on the couch, then feeling fine. This is more Kota's style of being sick, he's usually the one on the couch for a day and then fine, not up and down.

7.75 And finally, Dakota came home today with good news. She recieved student of the month for May and is completely excited. The award assembly will most likely be next month closer to the end of school.

1. From what my family Doctor told us when one of our girls had an earache, the pain from an earache is absolutely excruciating. He is not one to exaggerate so I was pretty surprised to hear him say that. I hope Caleb feels better soon.

2. Hope you're less sore yourself in the morning.

3. LOL - Can someone explain how the numbering system in this thread works???

1. Okay Jimmer ... I'll try!

2. It goes from 1 - 10.

3. Schoolmarm posted 6, so Wargod was to post 7.

4. But because Wargod had more to post she added her 7.5 & 7.75.

5. Or some people do 7.1, 7.2 etc to be able to post more.

6. Dogdoc should have posted 8 or she could have just added to Wargods ... 7.8, 7.9 .. something like that.

7. That would have made your posting the 8 or 9 depending on what Dogdoc did.

8. Hey .. look at that I'm at 8.

8.1 I hope my explanation helps!

8.2 Have a wonderful Saturday!

8.3 NEXT!

8.4 Thanks Vacanick.

8.5 I think I understand.

8.6 If I'm continuing on talking about the same thing or responding to you I start
with 8.4 but if I was starting off on different things I'd start at 1 and go through to 9 (or 9.1 or whatever).

8.7 The next person would go from 1 – 10

8.8 The next person would start back at 1 (then 1.1, 1.2 and so on).

8.9 Whew!

1. i love days off from work...i was off yesterday, as well as being off on monday! woo hoo!

2. wednesday night i went to a going away party for the CFO of our work...she's just going to another subsidiary across town. i didn't get home til a little after 10pm, and i went over there around 3:30pm. it was an interesting evening to say the least, but it was pretty fun.

3. i also got invited to 2 more parties for the weekend...which is good, since my buddy i run around (AKA, my social life, lol) with is out of town for the week!

4. i got some errands done yesterday because of having off, that i wouldn't normally have time to do....got a new driver's license, since my old one broke in half about 3 months ago, and has since been taped together.

5. also took lola to get her annual shots. she loved that. poor little girl, actually she done quite well, and every time we are there the vet talks about what a good girl she is.

6. then we went to get her revolution prescription from another vet, because they will let me buy them one at a time.

7. after that, i came home for a bit, then went SHOE shopping...woo hoo! i bought a pair of knock-off skechers that sell for $50+, at payless, i got them for $25...same exact shoes, just a different brand. here is the skecher shoe:

shoe
just to run around town in...mary jane sneakers, lol.

8. i also bought some replacement initial links for my intalian charm bracelet, and ate some chicken teryaki at the new chinese place in the mall....yum!

9. not sure what i'm doing today....prolly run around town for awhile. it's hotter than hell here, and it'd be nice if there were a pool to go to...sigh. i didn't think i'd miss an apartment pool, but i do.

10. i hope all of you have a fantastic and SAFE holiday weekend! :-)

1. Hi, Gracie! Glad you're back in the fray!

2. I am itchy on my back and going nuts. (Ed is out.) Tried my Gold Bond powder, scratching with my hairbrush, but nothing is easing the itch. And I am out of Benedryl. I need to apply my anti-itch Rx lotion but can't reach there. Aaaaahhhhhh!

2.1 Cute shoes, Jbean!!

1. Yep, Jimmer, ear infections are excrutiating. Mmy whole childhood was one ear infection after another and when my kids showed little tendancy to get them I was thrilled. Caleb's now had two (the first being when he was much younger) and Dakota's had three, all within the last year and related to her allergy/sinus probs.

2. Caleb's feeling worse today and doing what I expected yesterday. He woke me up at the crack of dawn throwing up, has been running a high fever all morning, and hasn't got up at all except to reach for his bowl and when we moved him from the couch to our room. He has also been complaining about his throat and I know the last two doses of meds he's had have been hard for him to swallow. He's usually the one who gets really sick for a day and then wakes up the next morning feeling better so I'm not too worried yet. If he isn't doing any better this evening though we'll go back to urgent care.


3. I've already prepared him for the fact that if he isn't better by tomorrow we'll be postponing his birthday get together. I knew how lousy he was felling when instead of arguing, he said ok mom. Poor kidlet just didn't care at all.

1. I finally got a computer at home last weekend and decided to sit down today and check out what's going on around here.

2. I'm wondering how long it will take to post this because I'm on dial up.

3. It's a beautiful day here in Southern Ontario. Shorts and tank top weather....although being 8 months pregnant, I'm not looking to pretty in my outfit. :-)

4. It's nice to see Jimmer posting in the facts thread. At the same time it makes me realize that we have been missing Coco around here.

4.1 Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

1. I didn't notice the numbers till Jimmer mentioned it.
2.Wargod, a lot of doctors are now saying ear "infections" are actually food sensitivity or food allergy reactions. Milk products and shell fish are common foods to cause these problems. Eliminating what he is sensitive to from his diet may help.
