9.thirty-eleven. Happy birthday, Vacanick. I know this one must be triple sweet for you. Must be similar to what I felt on mine and hubby's 30th anniversary a few weeks after he finished his radiation treatments for prostate cancer. We were flat busted broke and to be honest, dined on supper provided by a veteran's food bank. It was the best meal I ever had just because he was beside me and cancer free.

1. The kids go back to school tomorrow. 2. So of course Dakota went to bed with a headache and carrying a puke bowl. 3. Poor kids been sick twice on this three week vacation (including on Christmas!) might as well be sick the first day back to school. I'm really hoping she'll feel better tomorrow. 4. Nieces came over to play today while sis went to work. Was nice enough they spent the afternoon outside (Dakota was feeling just fine then!) 5. Middle niece, who had cut her finger a week or so ago, had been healing rather nicely. I never did get the story of how she did it today, all I know is she came in the house holding her hand out dripping blood. She'd split it open again. 6. It's time for sign ups for little league (spring season.) We're getting very worried, girls in droves are leaving the little league and switching over to ASA and we're wondering if the little league's going to have enough girls to put together teams this year. 7. We'll have to switch over eventually, the little leagues just don't have enough older girls anymore to fill out teams, but we're hoping to keep Kota and oldest niece on the same team and we have a better chance of that with the little league than with ASA. 8. Caleb should start practice for his play this week. The schedule is crazy and I'm worried about keeping up with it. 9. Darren has less than a year of college left. Heh, I didn't believe him, doesn't seem like he's been going that long. I forgot he started out with a years worth of credits already and with the two years he's already finished, yep, that leaves less than a year left. I'm really looking forward to him finishing though, between work and school he's been working his butt off the last couple years and I think he's ready for a break. 10. I still haven't used my gift card for Micheals yet. I think I'll take a trip over there this week and see if anything sparks my interest.

1. I've been in a funk the last few days. Think I need to stay away from the news. 2. Vnick, we had rain last night/this morning too and some ugly clouds coming in. Mostly though it's the wind giving me problems, everytime we get a good gust, my internet connection goes down.

1. I don't think that I've posted at TVCH for a whole semester...it's been a brutal one, swine flu and all. 2. I just got back from a trip to Australia and New Zealand. It was wonderful! 3. I am hoping that 2010 is much better than 2009. HUGS to everyone!

4.1 YAAAA Marm!!! I've been waiting for you to post!! Months ago we went to call you and realized we've lost your number! I don't even have your most recent email address so had no way to get in touch with you. We'd love to hear all about your trips! Please get in touch!

.5 Hi Marm! 1. Dakota wants to go to the winter formal dance at school in a couple weeks. No worries, she's going with a group of her girlfriends, no boys. 2. For a change, Caleb and his buddies have been hanging out at one of the buddies houses instead of here. I'm not complaining, lol, they are busy practicing for the talent show at school. Couple electric guitars, drums, and someone singing, I'm just as happy to have them at someone elses house! 3. I did tell the boys they could come here to practice, but the other kidlet has his drums set up in his garage and they'd be a huge pain to move. 4. Darren told me tonight he wants golf shoes for Valentine's Day. Romantic, huh? 5. Everyone was wiped out tonight. Darren was in bed by 7:45, Dakota asleep by 9 and Caleb not long after that. Must be in the air cuz I've been sitting here yawning and drowsy for a while not.

1. January 13th was my birthday. 2. Woke up at 3am in excruciating pain from kidney stones. 3. Went to ER at 5:30am. 4. After 3 hrs of morphine, fluids, & CTscan, was sent home with 3 prescriptions (pain, nausea, antibiotic). Couldn't keep meds down. 5. Took dd for pre-op tests. Kidney stone pain returned with a vengeance. 6. Spent remainder of Weds, Thurs (all but 4 hrs) and Fri in bed/bathroom.Pain seems to be gone today, am just weak from not eating. Happy Birthday to me - NOT!!!

1. That does not sound like a fun birthday at all, Couchtomato! I hope you feel better very quickly and that you have a chance to celebrate your birthday in a much more fun way! 2. Got a letter from the school today. Caleb's been placed on a truancy list. Oops, that's totally my fault, I forgot to send a note excusing an abscence back in December. They plan to do an autocall every morning for 20 days for a wake up call, lol. 3. I'll go in Monday and clear that up. Kinda cracked me up...he's never been in any sort of trouble at school, never even been tardy to a class, one demerit in all his school years and he ends up on a truancy list. I take full responsibility for that, but it seems like overkill. 4. Dakota and oldest niece's asst coach from last year has called my sis twice this week to find out if we're signing the girls up for softball. Yep, we're coming next weekend to do it. 5. They are indeed having problems getting enough girls and as of today only had enough to make up one minor league team (last year we had two.) I told the girls he'd called to remind them to practice for try-outs and they were pretty excited he'd called to check on them, lol. 6. We had a fairly quiet day, the nieces came over for a few hours and I hardly saw the girls. Was nice enough outside that they played outside most of the afternoon. Dakota spends a lot of time outside normally, but get the girls over here and the only time she comes in is to get a drink. 7. I used Herbal Essences shampoo yesterday for the first time, soon as I had it all lathered in my scalp, back of my neck and ears, and forehead started to burn and itch. I have sensitive skin and have to be careful with what I use, but I've never had that reaction to shampoo before! I washed it right out and used a different shampoo, but it was too late. My whole head itches right now and I have a nasty little rash on my neck and shoulders.

1. Thanks Vacanick & War. My b-day, at the very least, was unforgettable!! 2. I will celebrate it - eventually!! 3. Want to go to Outback (so does dd). 4. But...she's having surgery Jan 22, so Outback will have to wait. 5. Good news is I've lost 3 1/2 lbs. 6. Bad news is it was in my butt!! 7. Because I'm petite, that's almost a whole size. 8. Things just keep getting better. Dd called a while ago telling us her heater is broken. Repairman should be there by now. Weekend charge is $125 + whatever else is needed to fix it!!

1. Happy Belated Birthday CouchTomato. OUCH! 2. Signed my little one up for French Immersion Kindergarten today 3. I'm getting comfortable in my new house finally but I'm ready to move again. As much as I like it, there are things that I just can't stand. 4. My TV keeps turning on in middle of night, probably 2-3 nights a week. Weird!!! 5. I'm suing the last owner. Served them papers in a sneaky way and I'm sure they are mighty pissed off at me....but hey, I'm not the one who took the washer and dryer that was supposed to go with the house and replaced it with a totally old/useless set. I have pictures to prove it. 6. They legally have til tomorrow to respond to the courts. I'm stressed 7. I got a belated Christmas gift from my sil, an Easy Bake Oven!! HAH!! I wanted one so badly as a little girl, it may be a few years late but what the heck. My son is loving it!! (I even debated getting one for him) 8. Holy Vacanick!! I never knew what 2009 brought you. I'm so glad to hear all is well and that you're back to work! Scarey times for you and your son...he must be beside himself that you are back full force and healthy. And happy belated birthday to you too!! 9. Looking forward to the 2010 Olympics!!

1. Thanks CG!! No more ouchies, yay!! 2. Took prescription receipts to Walgreens to see if they'd honor them with their $25 gift card offer. They did 3. My best friend called me last night after 10:30, telling me her dh was rushing their teenage son to the ER due to a numb right arm, right side of face & tongue! 4. She called again at 1:15am - diagnosis: onset of a migraine. 5. She's afraid it might be AVM so is having an MRI & MRA scheduled this week. 6. My dd finally has heat again, has been without since Sun. afternoon. 7. Got my hair cut today, a little too short but it'll grow. 8. Brushed it out & restyled it. New stylist, my regular gal just returned today from maternity leave and was booked solid. 9. Cooked, diced & packaged up 20 chicken thighs (10 meals) for my pupster. 10. Finally settling in to watch AI.

1. TPTB blocked TVCH at work for awhile. I also made a personal decision to give up internet and cable at home. So I haven't been around as much. I'm sure some people were very happy about that!

1. I'm feeling rather pleased tonight, I had a good day at work, DH is off for his pool night, so I have the computer all to myself. (And I've posted more already tonight than I have in ages..this has something to do with a Daily Poll question, recently.LOL) 2. Hermione69, whether you know it or not...I have missed you lately, I like your posts, even though I don't often post that I do. (I'll try to change that, for you and all who make me smile or think)

1) I've been looking all over TVCH myself tonight and am enjoying reading your posts, Y2krazy. Keep em coming - I'm here for at least another hr or so. 2) I always enjoy reading whatever Hermione69 posts! Don't go away again 3) I'm stressing out about having to change one of my employees from full time to part time. It's not because of a cut back, it's because she makes soooooo many errors and I'm sick of having to ck everything she does. I'm taking away responsibility so I have to take away hrs/pay. Not a cool thing. I gave her a verbal warning 3 months ago and the prob. has just gotten worse. I will write her up tomorrow and tell her the scoop. I absolutely adore this young woman so this will be especially hard for me.

1.1 Thanks, Texasdeb, you made me smile. 3.1 Does she have a problem in her personal life that you could help with? This was making me mess up at work recently and my supervisor helped me (mostly by letting me vent a bit, was missing DS and my mom and dad were both sick, and MIL was being MIL.) It helped me and got me back on track.

3.2 Nope! The girl is 22 and has been w/me for a yr come 2/16. I'm serious - if you look up dumb blonde in webster, you'll see her! I didn't hire her - I guess I just got stuck w/her because others knew "I" would make her a good emp. Gosh, I sure tried but there is only so much molding one can do with a little dab of clay!
