    Boooo. I think C got some of that action; he woke up "wif da sniffles" he says, on Wednesday morning. Sleep, eating, etc. have not been affected.

  • Yay ice cream! But boo allergies.

    Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary.  And we have zero plans.  We had a blow out with the in-laws, just in time for mother's day of course.  I'm so sick of drama it isn't funny.

    Happy almost-anniversary!

    I had a blow out with my MIL on Mother's Day last year.  It wasn't good.  I feel your pain.  Inlaw drama sucks.

    Thanks :)

    And last year on mothers day we had a blow out also.  MY first mothers day, totally ruined by their BS.  In laws suck.

  • Hey everyone!

    A PB flurry sounds amazing right about now, I'm drooling over my computer screen as I type.

    Boo to allergies. I got hit about a week ago and it was worse than it's been in years, hopefully everything will blossom out quickly and everyone will be feeling better soon!

    Happy anniversary! Drama is never fun, hopefully you guys can find some time to not think about it and focus on you.

     I'm having a bit of a slow Friday, happy to have a chance to hop on and say hey! Hope everyone has a good one!

  • My boss wants to go over paperwork this morning but its 11:30 and half the day is gone. Good thing is   he is leaving early today I think. Wohoo

    Nice to see you here!

  • It's good to be able to pop on for once! Big Smile

    I feel like I've missed tons, sometimes I get a chance to "catch up" on the weekends but by then the discussions have passed and I figure it's too late to chime in.

  • GRKaters- What an awesome tradition. Makes me almost want to train for a marathon ;)

    Freeburger- That stinks about the drama. Hopefully you guys can have a drama-free weekend for your anniversary and Mother's Day!

    Haha!  I love it.

  • I'm on Day 3 of "I'm thinking I'm dying of some unknown virus" Called in to work for the rest of the week only b/c I was up half the night throwing up. I am trying to  psych my self up by getting dressed. Maybe this will work. 

    Soup and ginger ale for me again. This is the only time I hate being a "ginger".

    Dear God, Thank you for beautiful hair that everyone loves, but you seriously couldn't have given me a better immune system. I mean really.  

  • Deeder, is there a connection between red hair and poor immunity?  I had no idea.

    Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend free of in-law run ins.  Tension during family gatherings is the worst.

    Nice to be here with y'all today.

    Strangely, Yes! Redhead are known to have lower immune systems and for years they really didn't know why. Now with the research going on genes they are learning more. Other fun medial facts about redheads, We can be a surgeon's nightmare. We are known to be big bleeder's and lose a lot of blood in surgery and in childbirth. We also need more drug then normal as are pain tolerance is suppose to be greater, though I must say I disagree with that.

  • Ice cream before a long run sounds like an amazing tradition - are you running w/the YMCA group tomorrow Katers?  If so I'll look for you to say hi! 

    freeburger - Happy anniversary - hopefully you will have minimal drama and maximum good times this weekend. :-)

    This weather is AWESOME.  I took the dogs on a 4 mile walk, well, I had to drop one big bear off after 1 mile, and then ran/walked with G another 3.  Now I'm off to pick up some veggies to grill and make an attempt at some homemade black bean burgers.

    I hope everyone has a great weekend - especially all of you Mamas and Mamas to be out there!

  • Does anyone here have a super awesome grilled vegetable pizza recipe?

    Black bean burgers are my newest obsession - What recipe are you using? Let us know how they turn out!!

    I just ate the most delicious Pineapple Orange muffin from Meijer.  It was like a cupcake!

  • Confession - I took the girls to the mall to get a Mother's Day gift. In the back of mind my mind, I didn't remember putting my keys away. Just before we left, I searched for the keys - in EVERY single pocket of the diaper bag. ALL of the pockets.

    I couldn't find them. I figured I left them in the trunk when I pulled the stroller out. I had hoped that I didn't lock the car doors but I did. So I called Brian and he drove out to open the car for me with his sets. We couldn't find them. Oh crap.

    I looked in the diaper bag one more time and they were in the side pocket under one of the girls cup.  So what did I do then????

    I quickly threw the keys in the car and pretended that I 'found them' underneath Allison's car seat. "whoops, I must have set them down when I unbuckled her from the car." Embarrassed

    Thank you for letting me share.

  • Biggest laugh of the day goes to GVSU (laughing with you...).  Our lips are sealed.  I *know* that Jim has blamed something on Henry like that.
