"Stop looking at me swan!"

"Of course I peed my pants, everyone my age pees their pants. It's the coolest"

Morning everyone!  Poor Ellie has a summer cold so we are kind of stuck hanging around today since I don't want to expose any of our friends kids to her cold.  I have started looking for a part time job.  Preferably a babysitting job so I could bring the girls but I am getting a lot of people who don't think I can handle multiple children.  The last family I nannied for had 5 so I don't have a problem with it but....

How are you settling into the new house Joy?

How are you feeling degrea?

  • Shampoo is better it goes on first and cleans the hair. No conditioner is better it leaves the hair silky and smooth. 

     

     

    Funny movie!

    Hi Jodi. Hope you lo feels better soon. I am exhausted this morning but can seen to take a much needed nap before work. I have a feeling it's an early bed time for me.

  • I know the movie, but not enough to say quotes.  I went downhill after HP.

     Your girls are ADORABLE!!! Love it.

     I had a good weekend. We went to the beach to visit my dad.  I have a few pink spots from where my sunscreen rubbed off I suppose.  Luckily it's not too bad though. I want to go back.  This work mess is for the birds. 

     I"m happy I'll be on my sugar pills this week so I can go to bed earlier (I take them at 9).

  • I hate that movie. 

    We had a really nice weekend. We went to J's mom's house for the weekend. Saturday we spent most of the day down at his Pappa's house. They built him a small patio area for his fire pit. That was nice. Then yesterday his dad's side of the family had a reunion. It was awkward. We knew like 5 people. haha.

    Jodie - Your girls are super cute!!

    Aggie  - Hope you have an easy day since you're tired!

    BB - The beach sounds lovely!

    The nest just ate my whole post. OOOOO! I know the movie but can't quote it. I had a good weekend! I tried posting a picture of the birth record I finished for my niece but it didn't work.

    Jodi: my head is better. I would like to think that my headaches are less frequent.

    Aggie: A nap sounds like a great idea!

    BB: The beach sounds like a better idea!

  • Hey Jodi!!  Your girls are beautiful!  We're settling into the house very very very slowly.  Like, we need to finish painting our bedroom and still buy a bed slow, but it's coming along!

    Is the swan quote from a different movie than the peeing quote?  I thought so.  Same "theme," if you will, though.  Haha.  EDIT: NO!  I'm wrong!!  They're both the same movie - I forgot that part of it.

    I ran my first organized 5K this weekend.  I was highly disappointed with the race - it was lame - but also myself for not hydrating well.  I ran it fine, but ended up sick for the rest of the day because I didn't drink or eat right beforehand.  Sad

  • Degrea- What kind of birth record?  I'm doing cross-stitch ones for my people.

    BB: It is cross-stitched. I have no idea how to post a picture of it up here but I will put it on facebook. It has barn yard animals on it and in pastels. What does yours look like? How many more hours a stitching do you have left to do?

  • I don't know the movie. Is anyone surprised? Wink

    Weekend was good. H worked on the house a lot, took my stepdad out Saturday night for Father's Day, took H out for breakfast yesterday.

    Chase is back to my mom's today. He had fun at day care last week and they loved him. The director asked me on Friday if he's always that happy. He's usually only cranky when he's hungry or tired or if his mouth is bugging him with teething. So yeah, he's a generally happy baby. They loved him, so I'm glad. If it didn't cost money, I'd send him there all the time!

  • I think I will turn into a strawberry soon. I've eaten soooo many in the past few days. YUM. I want more. PICK ALL THE BERRIES!!!

  • Morning y'all!

    Jodi - your girls are beautiful!  Good luck finding a PT job!

    BB - glad you had fun at the beach :)

    Aggie - WAKE UP!

    jlq - why don't you send some strawberries my way!  There is nothing better than fresh strawberries and frozen yogurt.  I have the frozen yogurt, now I just need the strawberries  Wink

    Degrea - I saw the cross stitch on facebook and it's so cute! I love all the little animals :)

    Joy - congrats on the 5k!  I'm sorry you were sick but that's still quite an accomplishment

    Kris - glad you had a nice weekend!

    Friday when DH came home from work, our garage door wouldn't close so we had some guy come look at it on Saturday, and it needs to be replaced.  Yippee.  Although we both are secretly glad that it broke because we hated our garage door but we couldn't justify spending the money replacing it when it worked fine.  But now it doesn't so say so long to the maroon monstrosity as of this Friday.

    We drove to MIL and FIL's on Saturday and spent the night.  Then yesterday we spent the day doing manual labor around their house for a Father's Day present.  I'm peeved at my BIL and SIL because this whole thing was their idea because they "can't afford" (read: are too cheap) to buy him a gift.  Then the jerks didn't show up until after lunch when DH and I had already been working for 3-4 hours.  Then only BIL was able to work because SIL had to watch my niece.  So really DH and I did the majority of the work which makes Evita a major sourpuss towards them (in addition to all the other crap I'm mad at them about).  And I'm super sore today so my run tonight should be tons of fun.

    But I did get some sun so yay for that! Cool

    PS - Aggie and everyone else who cares - I started the HP audiobook this morning.  So y'all can stop hassling me now.  Stick out tongue

    JLQ: YUM! I heard that the strawberry crop this year might not be as good because of the lack of sun this year. But that could be just in WNY. How were they?

    E; Thanks! I am excited to give it to them since right now my other niece's is hanging in the nursery and I feel like she needs her own. Boo on BIL/SIL! I would have been pissed. Good Luck on the run tonight. WOHOO for HP! I hope you like it. I was hesitant to read them as well, but once I started I didn't want to stop.

  • I'll show you on FB since you can't put pics on here easily. Hours? Fo-eva.  This is the biggest I've ever worked with, and I got stalled to move so it's going slow.

  • Back to school back to school to prove to dad I'm not a fool. 

     

    Oh or "That is correct". Although this quote almost needs to be heard.

     

     

     

    E- I'm so excited! I just can't hide it :-D

    Come visit me and pick your own strawberries! You have to come this week, though. It will probably be the last week for them. Also, I giggled at your garage door hate. haha. Yay for a new one! 

    Degrea - The strawberries we picked were great! They were all a nice size, and very tasty.
