Abbynormal | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 10:36 am     1. I went through and tagged 17 boxes of stuff for a yard sale this weekend. I only have 8 more to go! 2. I absolutely hate yard sales because I can't stand to watch people pick over my stuff like it's not good enough for them. LOL |
Wargod | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 10:58 am     1. Hugs Twinks. I've never dealt with Alzheimers in a family member, but have seen it often enough with my elderly people to know how devestating it is. If you want to talk or yell or whatever, give me a holler. 2. Took Caleb to buy new shoes last night. His old ones were so tore up the soles were falling off, LOL. Managed to his a buy 2 get 1 free sale so both kids got new sneakers and Dakota got a new pair of dress shoes. 3. This morning I had clothes laid out and Caleb came in to ask if I could button his pants for him. Two words...growth spurt! We went through three more pair of jeans before I conceded defeat and gave him shorts. I went today and bought him a couple new pairs of jeans. Thank God it's still warm enough that he can wear shorts for a few more weeks since he needs all new jeans. |

Not1worry | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 01:10 pm     LOL...Wargod, I was hoping that capri pants might come in fashion for boys. Every pair he puts on has ankle hanging out for miles. And boys are so hard on pants, it's almost impossible to find decent 2nd hand ones. |
Froggiegirl621 | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 01:47 pm     1. I just posted pictures of my house in my folder. 2. It took me a few tries since the boyfriend downloaded them onto the computer in a different format than I'm used too and they were HUGE! 3. I miss not having a digital camera of my own...these were taken with his camera from work. It's a Canon, and I really liked it, thought it took great pictures! 4. I'm off for two days and I'm really hoping to finish my un-packing. Anyone wanna come help?!? |
Wargod | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 02:15 pm     1. LOL, Not I wish! Caleb's the same way, almost always outgrowing the legnth, so this time is very strange. 2. I hit Walmart (I love young kids, no worries about name brands, lol,) and saw that they had jeans on sale for 7.98. Those usually last just long enough for him to outgrow them. 3. Then I hit the jackpot after posting earlier. I went to visit my neighbor and she had a ton of clothes her girls had outgrown. Just looking through a few I realized that there was alot there that would fit Dakota perfectly for winter. 4. We have a pretty good system with our friends and family. Dakota's hand me downs go to my sister, my neices go to my neighbor or her cousin, Calebs goes to my neighbor, my neighbors girls and older boy stuff comes here and her baby stuff goes to my sister, lol. Sometimes I am so lucky! 5. Not on your life Froggie! I moved into my house six years ago and I'm positive I'm still not done unpacking, LOL. |
Ddr1135 | Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 04:47 am     1. Froggie, really enjoyed seeing the pics of your house. Your bathroom reminds me of the one I grew up with. And I moved 3 years ago and still have boxes to unpack! 2. Froggie, if you still have painting to do, let me give you a piece of advice...don't put the paintbrush down until you are finished. I still have molding to paint. 3. Wargod, enjoy the time you have with the kids not realizing what name brands are, LOL. My son discovered Abercrombie & Fitch. OUCH! But he loves Old Navy so that's good. 4. I need to have a garage sale. It would help me get rid of all the stuff I don't use. I love that new show on TLC, is it Clean Sweep? 5. Today is a day of meetings. So that means I have to get dressed and put makeup on. Yuck. I love the days when I have no meetings scheduled and I can work at home in my pjs. 6. Hugs to Twinkie and my mom Square! |
Froggiegirl621 | Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 10:24 am     1. I'm off today and tomorrow. 2. It's almost 1:30 here, and I have done NOTHING! 3. My dad called this morning and asked if I wanted to go to Lowe's with him to return blinds that are the wrong size and browse around a bit. 4. Since Lowe's is my new favorite place, I said sure. 5. That was about 4 hours ago and we still haven't gotten there. 6. I'm starting to get mad because I could've done about a million other things around here, but because he keeps telling me he'll be leaving "any minute now" I just sit here reading posts. 7. Tomorrow was supposed to be the "relaxing" day of my two days off, but now it'll be the busy day I had planned for today! I hate when people mess with my plans. |
Jbean | Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 04:13 pm     1. i am listening to my mom's little river band cd getting prepared for saturday's concert. 2. it is funny to me that i am listening to my mom's music, and that she now has started listening to country, like me. 3. i have started to get into football this year...and i don't really even like football. 4. being from mo, kc's win on sunday was a big deal here. 5. i picked my favorite team (carolina panthers) because i like their logo. lol, i am such a GIRL! 6. funny thing about that is that they haven't lost a game yet this season....knock on wood. 7. i am making potato soup for supper tonight, and cut my finger and a fingernail while cutting up the potato. 8. i come to tvch for most of my entertainment and information....you guys are awesome! 8.5 i want to learn how to post in the pretty pinks and aubergines like lori and sqaure do. |
Ddr1135 | Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 04:31 pm     Jbean, quarterback for Panthers is from my hometown! |
Jbean | Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 04:44 pm     cool ddr! |
Whit4you | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10:46 pm     1) I'm catching up on this thread tonight... 2) It used to be the first and last place I came to on TVCH 3) Just have too much going on in my 'real life' lately to keep up here at all sigh. 4) My son moved in 2 houses away - it's a good thing - it's got it's bad points but overall I prolly woudn't make another choice. 5) I'm now back to stressing hearing the nightly news. With my son in Montana for almost a year I didn't have to stress every night when I heard the local news. 6) I'm avoding the local nightly news now - I got enough problems without having to stress about that. 7) He totally f'd up a few weeks ago - totally totally lucked out in not having to pay for it... and absolutely and totally doesn't appreciate it. 8) I miss him being on a lake in Montana... am happy he's here... but sigh... at least then I could go a few days...at a time without thinking / worrying about him... and feeling like I falied as the 'perfect mom' 9) My only goal in life right now is to reprogram my brain - or "self talk' - which is about to drive me insane. But I'm workin on it - wokring on a plan to not let IT contribute to my underlying depression - winter depression taking over.... and I plan to succeed. I'm at a point where the saying that I alwawys lived by "I used to feel sorry for myself cause I had no shoes, till I met a man who had no feet" will work. My life in the past few months just went tho shit but - AT this point there are millions who'd trade places with me so - I'm tryting to take control over my brain (neg self talk) and try to keep it from taking over.. ause as much as life sucks - at this point if I don't let the depression / neg self talk take over... there are still a few million who'd trade places w/ me soooooooooooooo.... |
Egbok | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10:51 pm     (((Whit))) I was thinking about you today so funny to come here at this time and see your recent post. Whit, keep yourself focused on the good stuff and the ways that You can help yourself stay focused. Keep "self talking" and look into the mirror and see yourself. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts..take care! |
Ddr1135 | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 09:16 pm     1. I always laugh at this thread, cause when it gets to 10 it takes a few days for someone to post. 2. I probably don't have enough to fill 10 spots. 3. I live a very dull life so I don't have much to write about. Wakeup, work, sleep. Repeat. 4. Felt like crap yesterday so spent much of the day in bed. That makes me mad because I wasted a whole day doing nothing. 5. Today I hosted a luncheon for some canoers in a park. Part of my job. 6. My son missed a yearbook signing party today because I forgot to check my po box and he didn't get the invitation. Feel like the worst mother in the world right now. 7. After spending over $500 on car repairs last month, my car door is now giving me trouble. I hate 3 year old Fords. (Someone remind me of this when it's time to buy a new car.) 8. Can anyone tell I'm in a pissy mood tonight? 9. Must be a moon thing. 10. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day! |
Sia | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 09:52 pm     1. I'm still not sleeping well. |
Abby7 | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 10:07 pm     1. I am sorry Sia is not sleeping well. 2. Life "feels" so good to me right now. |
Egbok | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 10:15 pm     1. Sia, sorry you're not sleeping well and I hope whatever is keeping you awake will get better soon. 2. (((Ddr))) You're not a bad mother, you poor thing! It was an honest mistake and you just need to blame the full moon, ok? And I'll remind you not to buy another Ford next time. 3. I had a full moon Friday and tomorrow is the start of a new week and I'll just go forward from there...all fresh and new! |
Wargod | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 09:08 am     1. Ya'll know my fear of clowns? Well, this weekend, we went to a birthday party for 3 of the neighbor kids and they had this huge clown pinata (thing was as tall as Caleb, but about three times as big around as him!) They're 2 year old took one look at it, grabbed his bat and started beating the heck out of it. I laughed. His dad said not to worry, he wouldn't be able to break it, he was too small. By the time he was done, they were duct taping the foot back on clownie, hahaha. 2. As I got over the shock of big ole clownie, I turned around and saw big ole roasted pig...staring and grinning at me. 3. Since my sisters due date has been changed, we've been worried that the baby will come before the baby shower. She's been whining (yes, whining) that her poor baby will be nekkid, cold, and have no bed. Well, they got the crib last week, and this weekend while going through a box of baby clothes I had stored in the garage, I came across a smaller box labelled "girl clothes." Opened it up and inside was a ton of newborn and 0-3 month old clothes. There was enough to fill a laundry basket, and looking at the clothes I realized most of them had only gone through one kid...how lucky is that??? 4. Caleb and Dakota are grounded this week from watching tv and playing computer. Dakota's taking it well, she never watches much tv or plays the computer. Caleb spent three minutes being bored yesterday, then curled up on his bed and read through an 87 page book in one day. Yeah for grounding! |
Twinkie | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 11:11 am     War, I'd say that was a time-out well spent! YAAAA for reading! |
Wargod | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 11:14 am     Hehe, I was so excited I considered grounding more often, but he rarely gets in trouble. Ah well, I can hope that he'll be so excited he'll be picking up a book whenever he's bored. |
Jbean | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 03:29 pm     1. the party for 20th anniversary of my company of saturday was a BLAST. 2. my friends and i got pretty crazy! 3. ended up staying over at my friends house because it was 2:30 in the morning when the party afterwards was over....whew. 4. i hardly slept because i don't sleep well when i'm not in my own bed....not to mention her dog likes me and wanted to sleep with me....lol. didn't bother me, but i'm not used to sleeping with an animal. 5. spent yesterday napping and watching football...go chiefs...go panthers....WOO HOO! |
Joesmom | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 06:59 am     1. My hubby's ex-wife told him recently that they need to talk about getting his/her daughter a car. 2. She'll be 15 in November!!!!!! 3. You have to be 16 to drive alone!!! 4. Why does a 15 year old need a new car? 5. We can't afford 1/2 of a NEW car payment. 6. My hubby says, "I guess she'll have to take me to court." |
Kady | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Things that made me smile today: 1. Stopping before work to buy Clay Aiken's new CD. 2. After being gone for four days...finding a nice message from Jbean in my folder. 3. Remembering I only have to work 2 days this week. 4. Getting to work this morning and finding out there were no problems while I was gone. 5. Beating my son's bestfriend's score on Jezzball. Hehe!! 6. Finding out I had set my VCR correctly to record my shows while I was gone. 7. Fixing to curl up with my kitty for a nice little nap.  |
Sage | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 04:11 pm     1. I miss chatting. I only get to do it every once in a while. 2. After years of staying up til 3 or 4 in the morning, I now can hardly stay awake until 9pm, and keep falling asleep on the couch. I'm missing all my favorite TV shows... waah. 3. This morning, I was playing with the digital camera and took a self-photo. I posted the new pic of me in my profile. 4. I went shopping with my Mom today, and she bought some new night gowns, and fabric to make herself some new sweats. That's all she wears in the winter time. 5. I had a massage this afternoon. 6. I've been getting really bored lately. 7. I'm planning on doing some painting, either with oils or acrylics, I haven't decided. 8. I'm meeting with AuntieMike for coffee in the morning. |
Lostintheglades | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 04:54 pm     1. I awoke this morning with a mild headache that developed into a migraine by mid morning making for a totally unproductive day. 2.) I sent an e-mail to my 8 brothers and sisters informing them that Thanksgiving would not take place at my house this year. I'm already stressing over it and it's not even November yet so I think that's best. Last year we had 60 people here, very casual of course but the family just keeps growing. 3.) After reading Sages message above I tried to take my own portrait only to be disgusted at the picture and will not be posting it on my profile. 4.) I slept all day because of the migraine so now I think I'll stay up and go play Word Riot until it's time to take hubby to work. |
