1. My son has been with his father for one month now. We've got another month to go.

2. He's in Chicago and I'm in California.

3. This is the longest we've been apart.

4. He's 9 years old.

5. He comes home July 31 & I'm counting down the days.

6. He's having a great time but I miss him terribly.

7. I joined a gym to pass the time, that's been fun & healthy.

8. But I'd still rather have Nicholas home!

1. DH and I have been on the outs for a couple of days. Why? Because I have been tired (getting sick and I didn't know it) and I wasn't fullfilling his "needs" what is this highschool? Now he's punishing me with the silent treatment. Passive Agressiveness.
Boo freakin hoo.
2. Yesterday after my bout with a migraine and being diagnosed with a bladder infection THEN going back to work, I was beat.
3. DH had to work on the new house so my mom took him over something to eat and she told him I was sick.
4. When he got home that night all he said was "Are you going to work tomorrow", not How are you feeling, nothing? I'll bet if I said "I'm fine, let's do it." he'd perk up like a shih tzu riding shotgun.
5. So today, I woke up early and took my meds. While on these meds, I can't nurse DD, so tonight is going to be a rough night. I didn't tell DH this, but he is going to be waking up with the baby, not me. Ha ha.
6. Hopefully I will be better over the weekend and nursing again by Monday. It's a strong antibiotic.
7. I want to go swimming this weekend with all the kiddies.
8. The weirdest thing is happening. DH's brother is seeing my sister. Sis and her BF (nephews dad) just broke up and BIL is going through a divorce. They are experiencing the same thing, and finding comfort with eachother. I think it's weird.
9. I need to start packing up my house to move. What a job. I don't even know where to start. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
10. How did I get stuck with all ten facts?

1. Darren went back to work today after a week of vacation and the kids and I are getting back to our schedule. Hehe, though it is 11:30 and both of them still aren't dressed (Kota's still in her jammies and Caleb's running around in a pair of boxers!) How lazy can you get, lol?

1. My sis messed up the first part of my week, lol! I'd told the kid we'd invite their friends over tomorrow. Then sis called and asked if I'd watch the girls so me and the kids decided we'd invite their friends over Wednesday instead, that way they'd have two days of someone here visiting. Sis called tonight and said oops, she needs me Wed, not Tuesday, and even though it wasn't that late (7:30) when she called, I don't feel right calling to make an invitation that late in the evening the night before. So now no one's coming over tomorrow and I'm going to have to be mean mommy and force the kids outside tomorrow, lol.

2. I'm enjoying BB so far. I find it interesting seeing how hg's from one season are relating to those of another.

9.2 Escapee, start by throwing things out - alot of things out - then take one room at a time, possibly kitchen last because you need those items until you move. You can get solid moving boxes from Uhaul. Having a friend or two over to help pack along the way makes it so much more enjoyable, and you can make somewhat of a party out of it. Hiring professional movers for the day of the move is well worth the investment and a must-do for sanity's sake in my book. Good luck!!

1. Escapee, I'd take anything you haven't seen or used in 3 months (or 6 or 12 if 3's too drastic) and get rid of it. If you don't use it why take it with you? Biggest suggestion though, if it is at all possible, send the girls away for a day while you have the time to really make a dent on the packing. Would go much easier without them there for you. Same for moving day if possible. If not, (I know you're still nursing the little one,) try for the older one to go away for the day, little one probably wouldn't be in your way much. When they are home, give the oldest one a job. She can throw clothes or toys in a box. At her age, it's a game, especially if you approach her with the idea as if it's something fun and exciting (we're going to set this timer for x amount of minutes, lets see who can put more toys in the box.) Even if she's too little to do much, a little help could help you get some stuff done.

2. Today was kind of a lazy day. We didn't do too much other than hang around the house. Tomorrows going to be hectic to make up for it. Nieces are coming over to play and at some point I have to take Kota for a haircut. I think I'll wait til Darren's off though so Caleb doesn't have to sit there too.

1. I am moving to Georgia and the moving company will be here on Tuesday and so far I have only packed two boxes

2. I sat down to take a break and watch the feeds and wouldn't you know it....I got flames

3. So instead I decided to start running amok through the CH and catching up with everyone!

1. I'm back from Salzburg and in Munich.

2. Gorgious day here... should be enjoying it, but I found a really cool coffee shop/internet cafe in the train station and it has free WLAN. I'll be ordering that banana yogurt smoothie daily, methinks!

3. Haven't watched TV in two or three weeks. Heard that Lebanon got bombed. We had four girls from Lebanon in my class and they don't know if they can go home or if their family is ok. Also had 8 girls from Iran, which is amazing because music is forbidden in their country.

4. I'm back in the apartment for a week, then to Regensburg and Salzburg until the end of the month. Then I will have one more week in Munich. I am already tired, and hope that I can hang in there for another month!

1. Life is weird. I currently have five men wanting to get together with me, three of whom I have met before, two whom I have not. But the one I really want to meet is not interested! Why can't I trade these five for that one????

2. I will probably be out of town most of this month. Not sure what I am going to do with August. I have an offer to come to Wisconsin! That might be kind of cool.

3. I got my nails done last Friday with a friend of mine. I picked this pale yellow nail polish for my fingernails and a peach for my toes. The girl who did my fingernails said that she has worked there for nine years and no one has ever requested that color before. LOL!

4. I went for the best run the other night on this winding country road. I could easily live in the country.

5. I have no idea what is going on in the BB house. I actually "met" a girl who is going to be on that new Bravo show-- Work Out-- and I want to remember to catch that. We've exchanged a couple of messages online. She is gorgeous. I wish I had her body!

1. We invited the kids over this morning to play on the waterslide. Figured on doing it early so it wouldn't be too hot outside.

2. As I'm washing the driveway down, it started to sprinkle. Hehe, told the kids after days of being locked in the house because of the high temps they were still playing outside as long as there's no thunder and lighting. Ok, so it only sprinkled all of three minutes or so and they've been out having a great time since then.

3. It is hot and muggy today. I'm waiting for the visiting kids to go home so I can hop in the shower...a very cold shower!

4. My neices are coming over tomorrow afternoon. Then Caleb and Kota are going to their house Wednesday. Ought to keep them busy part of the week at least!

5. I've been doing most of my housework around midnight lately. Much cooler, plus the kids are in bed so I don't have to worry about them making a mess as soon as I'm done, lol.

6. Guess I better go fix lunch for the kidlets. Told the kids friends dad I'd feed them lunch before he comes to get them around noon.

1. The kidlets friends were supposed to come over tomorrow morning to play. They're going on vacation next week so this was going to be the last time the kids got to see them before they get back.

2. Step mom called tonight to tell me they couldn't come. Poor kids, both of them have ear infections.

3. Caleb and Kota were disappointed, but both of them understood (hasn't been that long since they both had an ear infection.)

4. I'm going to have to see if I can arrange something with either my sis or sis in law to have their kids come over Friday morning.

5. Mine are going bonkers! Too much inside time for them and they're bored silly.

6. Kota spent an hour today playing in a cold bath, lol. She only got out when she realized how crinkly she was getting. Then I did a little pampering, fixed her hair in cute little pony's and put lotion on her, then painted her finger and toe nails. She told me she liked being pampered, LOL.

7. I have not talked to my sis in two days. That is so odd for us!

1. I am still alive and kicking!

2. It is hotter than hell in Munich today.

3. I haven't watched any TV for a month! ACK!!!

4. They don't have much air conditioning in Europe...just for tourists.

5. I am going to the musical "Marilyn" tonight.

6. I posted about the rest of my trip in the travel thread.

7. I have been gone from home for 34 days.

8. I still have several weeks left before I return on August 10~~

Auf Wiedersehen!

1. We are going camping this weekend and I am so tired from spending days trying to get stuff ready.

2. Today I have to load the car, it's only going to be 104 out, that should be fun. I have no idea how I am going to fit everything in our car either.

3. We bought a roof top carrier for our car, I also have to figure out how to put that on. That should be fun too.

4. By the time we leave, when my dh gets home, I am going to be exhausted.

5. We are supposed to have record breaking temperatures this weekend. Three days of over 100, for the Pacific Northwest, that's hot. We usually have nice 85-90 temps with maybe a couple hundreds thrown in here or there. I think they said on the news that we average 13 days a year over 90. By the end of the weekend we will already be at that average.

6. We don't have a/c in our house and we are going to be gone all weekend. Is my house going to be okay? Is there anything I need to do?

7. An old friend that got in touch with me a couple weeks ago has invited me to her wedding in Septmeber. I was all excited, thinking the wedding would be in Tacoma where she lives until she told me that it is at a resort in Blaine, WA. I looked at the map....yikes, that is like in Canada. Not just a quick day trip. That involves lots of driving, hotels, babysitters....haven't decided yet if we are going to go. Although, my mom did say she would watch the kids for the weekend. It's still going to be an expensive trip.

8. Well, here I go to see if I can get this carrier thing on the car. Here is my other dilemma....do I load this thing now while it is cool and then the stuff has to sit in the sun all day, or do I load it when it is 104 outside? I think I am screwed either way.

9. Have a good weekend everyone!!!

1. Jewels, I hope ya'll have a great time camping!

2. Marm, you're trips always sound like so much fun.

3. Yesterday I moved most the furniture out of the living room (except the turtle tank) and cleaned the carpet. Today I've done nothing, lol!

4. We decided to leave the love seat in the den and see how we like that. We'll be moving the turtle tank tomorrow and rearranging the entertainment center and speakers. I'm hoping it makes the living room look less cluttered with furniture.

5. Problem is after cleaning out the den last month, it now looks cluttered with the love seat. I'm not sure I like it but the kids love having the small couch in place of their bean bag chairs to watch tv, play video games, and read on.

6. Both the kids cleaned their rooms today so I'll be cleaning their carpets tomorrow. They're overdue on having it done.

7. It's been so hot here the kids are pretty much stuck inside. We didn't leave the house at all today and for me and the kids it's pretty much looking like it'll be the same tomorrow for most of the day.

8. We do have to do yard work and sweep up the driveway after the storm the other day (leaves, branches, etc out there now.) We'll do that tomorrow evening when it cools down some.

9. Hehe, the kids don't know it but they'll also be sweeping up the neighbors driveway. They're out of the country for two months (should be home begining of August) and if they saw their driveway a mess they'd have a fit and be out there cleaning it up. Since they're not home, the kidlets can do it for them.

10. Caleb's had a really tough time this week. He is absolutely terrified of thunder and lightening and we've been getting a lot of it. It started up this afternoon and he hopped up on the couch and set pretty much on top of me til it was over. The poor kid was shaking like a leaf and almost jumping out of his skin. I'm not sure I really blame him, this weather has been bizarre and very unusual for us!

1. War....glad you think my trips sound like fun! I needed to hear that, because it is Sunday and I am at the library...and I was here until midnight last night. It was strange going home...everyone else was out on a date and here is this short pudgy American schlepping a computer case and a tote bag. SIGH!

<It IS fun, but a lot of work, too!>

1. Marm, it may be work but it's so much more than that, at least thats the way it seems to me. You're not there on a typical vacation or even work trip where you go for a few days of a couple weeks, you're there for a long period of time. You're submerged in the culture and day to day life and that sounds fun. I'd love to go on vacation for a week or two and take in the touristy stuff but to be there for a long period of time and being there for the normal, day to day stuff sounds like such an incredible and different experience than what tourists get. You get the chance to stop and smell the roses, really enjoy where you're at, meet and get to really know people and go to a play. That sounds far more interesting to me than spending two weeks rushing around to get to the next tourist attraction.

2. I don't see me getting much accomplished today. Darren's taking a nap so I can't clean the rest of the carpets and the kids are bumming around. So I called sis and asked her to watch the kids tomorrow so I can get my work done.

1. One of my good friends from childhood just tracked me down by finding my parents. She is getting married next month and really wants me to come. She said she told her mom, "I can't get married until I find Carolyn!" :-)

2. Today is my parents' 42nd wedding anniversary.

3. Next week I have to work summer school for three days. Poor me, right?

1. Happy Anniversary to your parents Hermi! And Yay on finding an old friend!

2. Sis just called me, woke me up, lol. Asked me if I felt like babysitting today.

3. I said sure, kids will love having the girls over...she said, oh wait, little adopted sis wants to talk to you. Then little adopted sis asked me to watch the baby too! Hehe, I'm excited.

4. I need to hurry up and do my housework and hop in the shower before they get here or I'll never get it finished.

1. Had fun in Regensburg with cute professor guy...too bad he has a partner-girlfried (she always looks unhappy, so who knows!)

2. I'm in Salzburg and had an amazing day!

3. Lots of work done, and although one interview cancelled on me, I got in a swim (it's hotter than hell here!) and an organ concert tonight.

4. The weather is just perfect for walking around right now.

5. The lights glimmering on the Salzach river with the fortress on the mountain in the background were just awesome and I wished that I had someone to share the moment with. Guess I'm sharing it with all of you!

1. Been so very long since I have even ventured into this thread....life is still the same busy, busy, busy

2. My niece was here today for her final visit before returning to Austrailia. She is the oldest grandchild and my Lisa is the youngest.

3. It was nice to be able to actually visit with her more this time. She was planning on coming and spending time with my fil, however he died 4 days before her first planned arrival..she did make it for the funeral after 4 hours on the phone/computer to change her route.

4. Kids have been busy with Vacation Bible School and day camp. They start their last week of VBS this week at my best friends church, they are looking forward to it.

5. Enjoying the summer as much as I can...we did get a holiday in the beginning of July and are planning on going to the same place for Labour day weekend, so that will be nice.

6. Well before any sticklers come out of the woodwork, I better stop at 6.

Have a great day all!

1) It's been a week of medical issues around here. Devin had lasik, Dani had a cervical biopsy and Riley had neutering.

2) Yes, it's true Riley got the most post-op attention. Especially from the men folk, you'd think those two little things were solid gold wouldn't ya?

3) This weekend is going to be filled with family get togethers. Tim's sister and her family are up from FL for the week. This time no funerals to go to so we can all enjoy.

4) We now have 4 weddings coming up in the immediate family, it's going to be an expensive year and a half.

5) Tim and his brother's band are playing for our local flood relief benefit tonight. He's been a nervous wreck all week.

6) I love listening to that O'Neill Brother's band I wish I could share their music with all of you somehow.

7) I suppose I should be making salads today for the family parties.

1. I hope the flood relief benefit went great for Tim and his brothers SS!

2. Darren had to work this morning, and got up at 2 am for it, so I did something I rarely do and fixed him breakfast.

3. I'd planned to go to bed right after he left but I just wasn't tired.

4. Ended up staying up til about 5:15 am, then laid on the couch and watched the news for awhile. Kids got up early, saw me on the couch and asked if they could lay in my room and watch tv, so they went back to bed. That didn't last long though. Between the two of them and the dog who felt like he needed to be my alarm clock by barking at me every six minutes, I didn't get much sleep.

5. My phone isn't charging for some reason. I don't know whats wrong with it.

6. The kids have been so great lately doing their chores and helping around the house when not asked that Darren bought both of them new computer games yesterday. Caleb got a RPG that he can play online with Darren that has a great chat feature (we can set it so he can chat with noone or with just Darren.) Dakota got a virtual kitten game. You pick out your kitten then raise it and play games. Unfortunately the game didn't work at all.

7. She was quite upset til he told her after work today he'd pick her up, they'd take the game back, and she could pick out something different. Now she's all excited about her special shopping trip with dad.

8. Our temps have dropped quite a bit the last couple days. Right now it's only 85 out, last week at this time of day it was already 100. It's very nice!
