Oh come on Jmm, don't ya know you're supposed to sit there and let the kid from the other team bleed all over the place instead of helping them???

I understand (don't like it, but understand) the dirty looks from the girls, it's probably hard to hear your mom cheering for the team that's stomping you into the ground. But from other parents, makes no sense, they should be old enough to understand cheering on all the kids or bandaging up a hurt kid from the opposing team! Er, then again, having witnessed some of the parent antics at practices and games, the girls are usually far more mature than their parents.

When I was in the stands, I had no problem cheering for the other team when they made a good play. But when you are 5'5" almost & the next shortest player is 6'1" you learn really quick that anything more than a quick "SWEEEEET" is gonna get you into trouble on the ride home. Nothing major, but the teasing wasn't worth it. It was like having 20 big brothers. lol Big brothers like to dog pile little sisters, and it wasn't fun if they hadn't showered.

JMM I can't stand parents that just don't get it. It's a CHILD that is HURT. That's just so wrong!

Ack, I completely forgot about the mission last night! Thank you for posting it Dipo!

Sounds like you are feeling somewhat better?

Haven't done anything at home, was only here for an hour or so this morning before I had to leave to take aunt to her dr appt. She had a cast put on today, much better than the big mummy wrapping up to her shoulder that was on before.

It's that time of year again when we need to reverify all her info for social security, medicare, and her in home health stuff. Rest of my afternoon will be filling out paperwork and making copies for her to get all this mailed out tomorrow.

Oh and need to get a load of laundry done and run by the bank. Other than that, nothing else planned for today.

yes, better but not totally back to normal. Looking forward to the weekend. Hey when you had to do soft foods for Darren what did you do? I have dental surgery next week and will have to do soft foods for a few days and was just trying to think of what I may need to buy. The only thing I don't already have is ramen noodles, LOL.

War, I think you've posted about CSV pharmacy runs & experiences, can't remember if they were positive/negative because we don't (to my knowledge) have any around here.

But WOW! on Keith Olbermann tonite Worst Persons segment, this had to be about as low as a pharmacist could get! I had to watch a 2nd time due to disbelief. I would have been yanking every dime, nickle or dollar out of my OWN pocket to cover. Actually, I have done that on a few occasions when the person in the checkout came up short & those purchases weren't ever so important as an inhaler, when the stricken person was less than $2 short! Unbelievable.

OMG that is horrible! If you've (generic you) ever seen someone having an asthma attack bad enough to need emergency care, you know they are and have been showing obvious signs of distress! It is a very frightening thing to witness and not something to stand around holding the rx cuz of a lousy $2. And yeah, totally agree, that's something I'd definitely offer to cover if I were there (er, if I didn't just rush out to the car to grab Kota's inhaler first.) I hope CVS is quick to do something about that pharmacist, cuz to me, that's certainly a firing offense!

We've had nothing but positive experiences with our CVS. We were using Sav-ons where they took 3-4 hours to fill a prescription on a good day and I had more trouble with prescriptions than I could count. The only reason I used them as long as I did was because they were opened 24 hours a day and 4 blocks away from us, important with a kid like Dakota who ended up in the er in the middle of the night on a fairly regular basis up until the last 2 years. When CVS opened across the street and also a 24 hour pharmacy, I switched quickly, and haven't had a problem yet.

When one of the rx's the dr wrote for us was going to cost a lot of money, they called the dr to get the rx switched to something our insurance would cover. I've never waited more than 30 minutes for a prescription (and usually it's quicker than that.) They've called around to find me another pharmacy when they didn't have something I needed quickly. I really like our CVS, especially compared to how bad Sav-on's was, but then we've never run into someone like the pharmacist who refused to give someone their inhaler cuz they were $2 short!

I got nothing done today.

The girls games were at really odd times (11:30 & 3) and spaced out just enough that we had time to kill but not enough time to come home between them. We were at the park from 10:30 and got home just after 5. It was hot and overcast. I sat in the shade except the walk from the car and then from the park and for about 2 minutes while we set everything up and I am fried! Dakota and Darren used sunscreen several times and stayed in the shade when possible and they're as burned as I am. So, once we got home, was a lazy day for me and Darren.

Oldest niece came home with us to spend the night. Neighbors were having a birthday party for their youngest daughter and I took the girls to buy her a gift and then they spent the evening over there.

Oh and speaking of the first aid kit, Jmm, lol. Last week one of the girls scrapped up her arm when they were practicing sliding at practice. On every team we've been on, the manager keeps a first aid kit, but not this one and that day no one had even a bandaid. Luckily she wasn't too bad and a little water and dabbing it with kleeenex stopped the bleeding.

But, Darren and I were at Walmart a day or two later and I told him I was buying a first aid kit for my bag I take with me to practices and games. Turned out to be a good thing since a couple days later one of the girls dove back to base and somehow cut her finger on it and I whipped out the first aid kit. Then yesterday, one of the girls had cut her hand at home a few days before, and she made a catch. Soon as she did, she hollered time, dropped the ball and flung off her glove, when she'd caught the ball it split her cut open again and she was literally dripping blood. First aid kit came in handy again.

Back on Monday, Caleb cut his finger and asked where the first aid kit was. I said on top of the fridge and he came to show me that it was pretty much picked clean. Told him to get the one out of my bag and all week he's been getting bandaids and neosporin out of that. I still haven't replaced my home first aid kit. Today, we left Caleb at home to work on a project for school. A different little girl scrapped her hand up, so out came the first aid kit again. No sooner had I set it down than Caleb called, "Where's the first aid kit? I just smacked my hand on the desk and split my cut open again." Argh!

So plans for tomorrow, go shopping for a new first aid kit for home and a couple extra boxes of bandaids cuz we're going through them at an alarming rate. Also going to the bookstore. Dakota and oldest niece will be building a gingerbread haunted house and I may make some pumpkin bread. Also need to get a couple loads of laundry done, but other than that, no other housework for the day.

Monday's Mission

My day went just as planned. Darren and I enjoyed what is becoming a monthly date, trip to the bookstore and lunch out just the two of us. I also got a couple loads of laundry done and then worked on some beading. Did some quickie Halloween necklaces for Kota and my nieces and finished two sets of the beaded curtains for aunts dollhouse. Doesn't really sound like a productive day, lol, but it was.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Cleaning at least the main rooms of the house and probably the mission as well. Maybe a couple more loads of laundry too.

Dakota and niece didn't do the gingerbread haunted house today. They went out to ride bikes instead, they'll have time to finish it between now and Halloween so I wasn't too worried about it.

I didn't do a lot this weekend, mostly just little clean up here and there to get ready for cleaning sister today, LOL. I did do some work to clean out my inbox and cleaned up my MB closest.

Tonight I have a board meeting and then will see if there is anything I want/need to do other than dinner.

You've been sick, Dipo, you needed a weekend of doing not much.

I've been doing my housework, one load of laundry in the washer, one in the dryer. Also have the den cleaned up (except mopping the floor, I'll do that later.) Moving kind of slow, but getting it done.

Things are getting more routine around here now. We blessed today, with a few winks here and a couple of promises there. Dusting will have to wait for tomorrow.
Went through 4 freezers again to see what we got left that needs using up, and cooked dinner. Dh got hooked on some old Civil War movie. After that we will head for the dog park, and then I'll have to work on Molly's second sweater. After a thorough shaving, the first one was too baggy. I weighed her before the shearing, she was 11.5 lbs. Probably down to at least 11, unless a home with enough food has had an effect yet. We've only had her for 2 weeks now.

Hope you are back on your feet, Dipo.

Tuesday's Mission

I ended up getting the living room and den done but stopped short at wiping the kitchen down and doing the floor there. Dumb q&a thread, we have a dead mouse somewhere and spent part of the afternoon searching for it. Also got a couple loads of laundry done.

Tomorrow I'll get to the kitchen and bathroom, along with my bedroom for the mission from Mon & Tues. Seeing Tuesdays mission....I have a dirty little secret. Or rather, it's a clean secret. I have a pile of clean, unmatched socks sitting on my dresser, sigh. They were in a basket and I was slowly matching them with socks coming out of the washer, then Kota asked for a laundry basket and I dumped that one on my dresser. It's horrible, they've been sitting there a week staring at me. So definitely a mission I'll be doing!

Will also be taking a trip to home depot to see if I can find an odor neutralizer. Think that's it for tomorrow.

LOL, about the socks. I have a few unmatched as well, it just seems like I find the missing ones a couple of laundrys later, like they stick to something and eventually I find them. I hate to throw away socks when they are ones I like.

I ran the dishwasher last night, and I got a Safeway order going, figured I need to have a delivery before my dental work on Saturday. Need to finish that today. Board meeting was pretty quick but now I have assignments, watched my one tape and put the house back together. Got a lot done at work as well, just trying to finish up some projects so it won't be a problem while I am gone for 3 days.

So tonight I will unload the dishwasher and see if there is anything else I need to do.

good luck with your mouse, LOL.

Wednesday's Mission

I didn't get much of anything done today. I had maybe an hour and a half of sleep all last night and was exhausted. The thunder was LOUD! Kept the kids home, they were up most the night too and there was no way I was going to drive them to school with me having almost no sleep.

We set around playing yahtzee, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and napping throughout the day.

Even though the thunder is still going strong tonight, they are both sound asleep, probably cuz they are worn out from last night. So they'll go to school tomorrow.

Little "adopted" sis called and asked if I'd watch little niece and nephew tomorrow and Thursday so I will be doing that. Haven't thought much beyond that yet.

Wow, I heard there was rain in your area from our weather broadcast but didn't know it was so bad. I do love thunderstorms since we rarely get any. We are supposed to get some rain this weekend (maybe). Your day sounds so fun!

I unloaded the dishwasher, watched a tape, cleaned out my email and called it a day.

Thursday's Mission

It was really bad (the thunderstorms) overnight, Dipo. Supposed to get some tonight and then be through with it, but haven't seen anything yet.

I picked up the living room a bit this morning and brought out the little kid toys. Littlest niece got here around 9:30, then we picked up youngest nephew and went to Costco. I was running low on lunch foods for Darren and it was a quick and relatively cheap trip. Back home for lunch, then while the kidlets played I was able to wash some dishes, wipe counters and sweep and mop the kitchen. They went home at 3:30.

I also finished the doll house curtains (woo hoo!!) and started putting together a cookbook for my sister for Christmas. We're ordering her a subscription to some recipe magazine that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head (she loves food/recipe magazines!) Found the holiday edition last week and it had these nifty cut out recipe cards, one side is a picture, the other the recipe, so I cut them out, laminated them, and slipped them into the pocket photo pages...instant holiday cookbook. Between that and the mag subscription, she's done. Don't feel like I was that productive but looking back over what I did do, I got quite a bit done.

Tomorrow I have youngest niece and nephew again for the whole day. Not sure what I'll do as far as housework. I may take the kids over to my sisters so they can play with my other baby niece for a while.

I've done a bit of picking up around the house, played with niece, and picked up nephew. We stopped by Walmart on the way home (I needed garlic bread and a photo album) and told the little ones I'd buy them big crayons and a couple coloring books. They are happily coloring in the living room while I sit here and eat a quick lunch.

Sounds fun. I picked up here and there, had a delivery last night and had to finish a work project. Safeway had friskies on sale for .45, they had been .80 so I bought a bunch. The bags are sitting on the floor out of the way until I can sort them, then find a place to store them. Maybe tomorrow.

Am recuperating from my dental surgery and don't feel like doing it now. Don't feel bad, have some nice pain pills, still feel a little groggy and just got the feeling back in my lower lip a about 5ish (the surgery was at 9am!)

Part of my safeway order was vanilla/chocolate swirl pudding! I have to eat soft foods for a week, so I am liking that one. Actually I will probably be able to widen my soft food selection by Sunday, but for now I have mostly my favorite comfort foods, LOL. and the pudding was great.

Friday's Mission

Ow, Dipo! I sure hope you don't have much pain and they gave you enough pain pills!

Didn't do all that much this evening except cook dinner and homework help for Kota. Oh, I did fill out my vote by mail ballot and have it ready to be mailed in the morning.

Tomorrow my aunt has a dr appt, its the follow up from her breaking her arm and the surgery with her gen. practitioner. The appt itself should be pretty quick, but it's at 11 so I probably won't get too much done at home tomorrow.

I feel great today, just a little swollen, which doesn't make sense to me, I am mostly swollen on the side they hardly worked on, LOL. I do have a lot of pain pills though. and some antibiotics and a mouthwash. The bigger issue is the food options.

I hate that I can't just eat what ever I want even though I got losts of good stuff to eat. Had some mashed potatoes and gravy for breakfast, think that I am going to have some scrambled eggs for lunch. I am tried some jello and thats okay, but I really am loving the chocolate pudding, LOL. I don't normally have it in the house so that is a treat.

The only cleaning I have done is to straighten up the kitchen and sweep the balcony, the leaves are starting to fall. I changed out the towels in the bathroom and cleared out my email.

When Darren got to the point of eating stuff beyond pudding and mashed potatoes, but still not able to do real solid stuff, I cooked chili, spaghetti, and boneless chicken. Maybe something like that will work for you? That's funny you say that about the other side being swollen! Darren's biggest complaint of pain wasn't where they had done the root canal, but that his jaw hurt from having to keep his mouth open wide for so long. I'm thinking root canal...ow, but nope, his biggest pain was from keeping his mouth open!

I've gotten nothing done except taking my aunt to the doctor. Don't really see anything getting done today except a load of laundry or two.

I am making potato soup today, it is rainy and gray so that sounds perfect and should work out great.

I think I may have some chili in the freezer so maybe I will pull that out and try it with some scrambled eggs tomorrow. that sounds good.

I had to pull the cushions in off the balcony, have the dishwasher set to run once I finish making the soup and I did some work on my checkbook.
