1. I was confused about that Martha Complex thing, but I figured I'd just let it slide.

2. I'm soooooo annoyed right now.

3. My doctor quit being under my insurance and nobody told me so now I'm left with a bill of which not a penny was covered even though I'm insured.

4. I finally got a hold of my HR person and she pretty much said that yep, I got screwed.

5. I think my brakes on my car are going out too.

6. And on top of that, my electric bill for a 2 bedroom apartment with heat included was over $150. Hello? Do I look rich? If I ever did, I won't for long. Buh-bye tax refund and any hope of saving money to do anything fun this year!

7. My adoption day isn't very happy anymore :-(

1. ((Kaili)) I'm sorry you aren't having a happy adoption day. I hope it gets better!

2. I had a really good weekend. The weather was great, the kids were good and we had a great time.

3. I got my haircut too and I love it.

4. I also bought myself some new shirts at Old Navy. They were on sale for $10. Woo hoo!

5. I got 19 of my 22 rose bushes pruned. Only have the climbers left, but I need to head over to the gardening thread because they aren't very healthy and I need help on how to prune them.

6. I am so happy the the Blazers finally traded Rasheed Wallace and got some quality players in return. I am an NBA fan and Blazer fan, but couldn't stomach them anymore. I watched my first complete game of the year on tv on Friday night, it was good to actually watch a good game and not temper tantrums.

7. We are going on a field trip to the fire station tomorrow with the preschool. My son is so excited. He is wearing his fire truck shirt and hat and has his fire truck book ready to take so a fire fighter can sign it. He is such a sweetheart.

8. My good friend had a baby last week and I just got the vitals...a girl...11lbs. 2 oz. and 22 1/2 inches! Yikes! And she was 3 weeks early! Her other 2 kids were big also, her other daughter was the biggest baby ever born at the hospital that she had her at.

1. Awwww... Jewels, that's so sweet. I remember when my son was a little guy and was so into fire trucks.

2. I'm glad Lucy had such a great trip.

3. If enough people post about their exotic, tropical vacations, maybe I can vicariously relax.

4. I'm so glad this day is almost over.

5. We are headed to my mom's on Thursday for a visit, only 2 hrs. away.

6. I'm starting to feel very unbalanced, I need to get away.

7. The right now thread has scared me from ever eating tuna again.

8. I'm taking a long time typing this, hoping someone else will do 10.

9. No one is.

10. How boring my life is that I can't come up with 10 tonight.

Hi Lucy, welcome home! I'm glad you had a great time.

1. I had a mental examination today as part of the process for getting social security benefits, and the lady was very concerned about me because actually, I'm not very happy, and I'm quite depressed, and I have no hope of ever being happy and living a happy life, so I think about ending it all. Sigh, don't worry, I"m NOT going to end it all, it's just that I'm feeling so hopeless and I need counseling which I'm going to be getting soon. I don't need any pity or sympathy, I just need to have something to live for, and I have no idea what that is anymore.

(((((Sage))))) I hope things look up for you and you get the help you need as soon as possible

1. Happy adoption night for me...I got home and my sweet BF made a huge, really super tasty stir fry.

2. I just got home from work and I'm pooped! Got my pajamas on, I'm going to sit back, eat, and watch Seventh Heaven.

1. Got exciting news tonight. My oldest friend in the whole world is home visiting family and will be stopping by tomorrow. He went to see my mom this afternoon (always goes to her house first, LOL) and she left a message on my machine asking me to guess who was home and by her excitement I figured it would be him. Always fun to see old friends!

2. Caleb's teacher shared his mid-year assesments with me this afternoon. His math scores are the highest in the class, his reading comprehension is tied for highest with three other kids, and his spelling is excellent. She is rightfully pleased since she has 5 children who's assement scores show they are all ready right now for third grade. She said usually she has a couple kids who are ready in different areas and this is the first year she's had so many all the way across the board. She did say she had a brief moment of worry about his hearing when on his spelling test he wrote mom instead of mob, then realized that he hears whispers just fine, lol.

3. Dakota had such a rotten morning! She cried when Caleb left that she wanted him to stay home, she cried over cereal, she cried over her bath. It was bad enough that I sent her to school with a note explaining her bad mood and letting her teacher know that I would be in Caleb's class if she needed me. I ran into her when I was on my way to his class and she said she'd had three parents to contact her today saying the same thing. I mentioned it was bad enough that Dakota got in trouble for talking back to me this morning..she looked at me in shock and said, "Dakota???" I couldn't believe it either!

1. Well, it's my birthday. YUP, another year older. Don't want to go to work today. Parents are on a vacation, I have to work 12 hours today, and I need to lose weight, so I'm not going out for a special meal. Those elementary ed majors better have their song hearings prepared. Maybe I'll have them sing "Happy Birthday" to ME...it's on the song list. Hmmmmmmm.

2. We got some new WHITE snow last night! It looks really pretty!

3. I made turkey/vegetable soup yesterday and it is really yummy. I'm taking a big jar to work today for lunch and supper.

4. Is there good reality TV on tonight? If not, I'm going to the dress rehearsal of "Two gentlemen from Verona", our college theatre production. I also need to practice for my recital tomorrow.

Happy Mardi Gras, everyone!

Happy birthday Schoolmarm!!! Yay!
1. I woke up before the alarm this morning....that doesn't happen often.
2. It is raining and my heater is out yet again, not a good combination for a spoiled Californian who is used to keeping her house at 70 degrees everyday.
3. I am way behind in school and need to work my tail off today to get caught up because I am planning a road trip to visit a good friend in Humboldt from Friday-Tuesday.
4. It will be a bit over a five hour drive and I am taking dd with me-she can't wait.
5.Now that I don't smoke and am also dieting I have decided that instead of smoking or sunflower seeds for the drive I will steam some edamame.....

1. HAPPY MARDI GRAS EVERYONE!

2. I'm off today due to Mardi Gras.

3. The weather is really lousy due to the rain, so we're skipping the parades and staying home.

4. This morning my best friend called at 7:30. I was shocked because he never calls that early. So he came over for a 2 hour visit over coffee.

5. With our jobs, we haven't been able to visit, so it was sooooooo nice to see each other. (He only lives about 3 blocks from me, LOL, but with our jobs we only get to talk on the phone each day).

6. He borrowed about 10 dvd's from me to watch on his new dvd player. He just got home and called me to see how to turn it on. Poor baby!

1. The fire station trip was a bust this morning. We got there and they were out on a call and as soon as they came back they got another call and left again. All the kids got to see was the fire truck leaving, but they thought it was great with the sirens blaring and everything!
2. I am researching new preschools for my son next year since I don't like the one he is in.
3. I am debating on whether to send him to a co-op again or not. I like the concept, but I have to volunteer twice a month and that means I have to find someone to watch my daughter and it turns into a hassle. I'm not sure what to do.
4. We need a "What Should We Have For Dinner?" thread because everyday about this time I start thinking about it and today I can't think of anything. Doesn't help that I really need to go to the grocery store so supplies are limited. I hate these kind of nights.
5. Most likely it means that we will order pizza.
6. Last time we tried Papa Murphy's new De-Lite pizza and it was actually pretty good. It had really thin crust though and we ate the whole pizza in one sitting. Woops.
7. Now I am crazing pizza.

1. Steak, rice, creamed corn, and bisquits are whats for dinner in the War house tonight.

2. Adopted little bro and future sil are going nuts with wedding plans. Talked to her earlier, they are on their third menu change (which is a problem since most of the family has volunteered to do the cooking and food prep and still have no clue what we will be doing, LOL,) they can't agree on colors, they can't agree on who is going to be in the wedding (first they wanted their boys, and all their neices and nephews to play some part, then realized that was 11 children so its not going to happen.)

3. I told her I'd make what they want me to make, to let me know the colors they choose so I can make a wedding album (my traditional wedding gift to couples,) and to let me know if she needs me to watch my nephews for her to go shopping, planning, or whatnot.

4. So far I'm set up to watch their two boys and my sisters two girls the day before the wedding. They have food and decorations to take care of, plus a rehersal dinner, so if I can keep the kids from being underfoot, thats a good thing.

5. It is very windy here today. Sis said she saw on the news we're in for another big storm tomorrow. We have definitely hit little league season!

6. My bug guy showed up today and scared the crud outta me. He knocked, but I didn't hear him, so he went about spraying the front yard. I never knew he was here til he walked around the back of the house spraying the backyard. Im not sure who was more suprised...him or me!

7. Mom went shopping for my 75 year old aunt today. My aunt has diabetes, slight memory loss, is very shaky, and has been getting sick at the drop of a hat lately. Mom gets back, aunt had locked herself out of the house going to get her mail. She was outside for two hours in her light pajamas, no shoes or slippers, no jacket. And it's cold and windy today!

8. We've been playing phone tag for the last half hour (mom, sis and I) over what to do. It's gotten to the point that aunt can't be left alone for any time at all. The last time she tried to cook she almost burnt the kitchen down. Her memory problems are getting worse (if there had been a key hidden outside, for example, she wouldn't have been able to find it, if she had gone to a neighbors, she would not have remembered mine or sis' phone numbers.) Three years ago my aunt worked 40 hours a week as a cashier, went out about town visiting friends and shopping, now she can't be left alone. She's gone down so fast, I'm scared and sad.

War, I know exactly what you are going through. My mom is waaaaayyyyyyy past that stage now but I can tell you the first thing we did was disable her stove/oven and took out the toaster oven. Then we had Meals On Wheels take her 2 nice meals a day and they were so nice they would take her mail in and put it where sis knew to look for it and sit and talk with her a bit. I'm telling you they were lifesavers. But after a while it will get too bad for that but at least for now she can still be in her home.

1. LOL, I don't really observe Mardi Gras or Lent, for that matter, but I do believe I'll be giving up something for Lent.

2. And not just for Lent either.

3. I'm giving up on trying to make a relationship work with a certain man.

4. I am so done with him!

5. I feel sorry for him that he can't believe the truth when it's staring him in the face.

6. I refuse to be with someone who is going to always doubt and disbelieve everything I tell him.

7. The hopelessness and feelings of no worth still plague me, and they did when I was with the man, and all the other relationships I've been in. They don't fill that void, and I wasn't expecting them to. It's being alone that triggers those feelings, and now it's time to work on that aspect of my life and forget about having a relationship with a man for now.

8. I'm feeling strangely relieved, but at the same time I'm also sad about ending this relationship.

1. We are having some crazy weather right now here in Northern California.
2. The rain is coming down hard and winds are at 43 MPH.
3. I just took dd to school and bummer for this neighborhood-it is also trash day!
4. There is garbage EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere.
5. There was not one trash can standing.
6. I am leaving for a road trip on Friday that includes going through a stretch of highway that usually gets snow.
7. I hope the sun will be out by then and the snow melted-I have only driven in snow once and that was on our way to Canada-I pulled over and made DH drive.
8. I have a million things to do today and there simply is not enough time in the day for me to do them.
9. Of course it doesn't help that I will spend most of my day around here! Lol....

1. I've been lurking lately and not posting but just had to compliment Sillycalimomma on her beautiful post above. I love all the colors!!!
2. We are expecting BIG RAIN sometime today although I don't think we can compete with the New Orleans area. I heard they got 7" yesterday!
3. Hugs and love to my friend, Sage. You will survive and be happy again.
4. I'm trying to get mundane things done around the house today.....sure could use some excitement.
5. I am not seeing "The Passion of Christ" today. I'd like to see it but will wait awhile. I have a problem with viewing violence.
6. Finally got word that I did indeed tear cartilege in my knee and will have surgery on it March 19th.
7. I'll be glad to get that taken care of; what a pain (literally) it is to live with.
8. Boy, posting this many sure makes you think!
9. Anyone have any special plans for Easter/Spring break coming up soon? We are going absolutely nowhere! Bah humbug!
10. Have a great "hump day (Wednesday)".

1. I was my grandmother's caregiver for a while and thankfully didn't have to worry about the stove or toaster oven, but when the furnace went out she didn't call me. I found out -midwinter Michigan- that she was out of heat for the two days in between when I visited her.
2. Hang in there Wargod
3. Sage, you know I'm a phone call away. Look at this stage in your life as a positive one, and find yourself! You are a beautiful person, inside and out. I care.
4. Silly, luckily when all the wind gusted through here Tuesday the garbage had already been picked up; however, the empty cans were rolling around the neighborhood noisily.
5. Texannie, from the latest weather reports we are getting thunderstorms this weekend. I hope they are here and not wherever you are for your party - if it's happening this weekend. Good luck. I hope your tent is a good one.
6. AuntieMike! It's great to hear from you. I'm sorry about your knee. That sounds so painful. Good luck and prayers on the surgery.
7. I'm not going to see "The Passion of Christ" yet, either. I want others to have a chance to see it for free.
8. I know the violence of Christ's day on the cross will be heartwrenching to watch, but it really was violent, and the reality is what is so heartbreaking.
9. I love hump day!
10. My son just called to tell me he just got his new computer online. Yippeeee! I am going to send all his addresses and saved favorites to him from his old webtv addy. We were on the phone for so long I figured I'd better do 10

1. Had a great doctor's visit today! I've been going every week for about 2 months and this time she said I'll see you in a month!! YAAAAAA

3. Today my daughter turned 34 and she is 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant! My first grandbaby!!! YAAAAAAAA!!!!! After seeing the ultrasound she said it looks like a gummy bear. LOL

4. I will be back on TVCH Tuesday-hope to post some pictures....please pray for a safe trip for me!
