Instant Human..Just add coffee!!!!:ggrin::ggrin:

[capcat]

Hey catfever! Do you have kiddos in your summer program today?

[catfeverintennessee]

Yes today I have 153's and 4's!!:shock: It is farm day and we are going to make butter in baby food jars! I am going to find the elementary kids and see how many checked out the skies last night. See if they were really listening yesterday when I told them about the planets.

Judy

[she~cat]

good morning everybody! I see we have a new place to call our own! thanks guys!!:)

Oh farm day :D! We did that at summer camp a few years ago. We made butter, it was great, and ice cream in a bag which was really good. We also poked a needle hole in the finger tips of latex gloves,filled them withwater, and the kids milked them. It was hilarious and dangerous to be around if you didn't want to get squirted. Our kids were older, though. You must be exhausted after a day with that many 3 and 4 year olds! Like throwing a birthday party that lasts a LONG time!

[catfeverintennessee]

Trust me, some days we LIVE for nap time!!:ggrin:Of course then regular school year starts in August and I get all new ones! It is a little crazy trying to get 15-16 3's that have never been away from home settled down. Plus coming only 2 days a week:shock:In the regular school year this is what I have
Monday--I have 3's and 4's mixed
Tuesday/Thurs I have only 3's
Wed/Fri I have only 4's

The summer I only have the combined for 2 days a week. May have to try the glove thing since it will be close to 90 today! Need to get ready now. Thanks for the tips!

Have a GREAT one!

Judy

[zonetoncatfan]

Judy, you have all my admiration and sympathy! :) I have a three year old and the thought of 15 of herfive days a week is just more than I can imagine. She goes to a Parent's Day Out program during the school year two days a week and the ladies who teach there are just angels (like you). It really takes someone special to teach very young children. Have a great summer with your little ones, they are so precious at this age.

I love the butter idea, mind posting instructions? Thanks!

[CoquieKat]

Trust me, some days we LIVE for nap time!!:ggrin:
For the kiddos or for yourselves? :P

Sounds like you have quite a busy day ahead of you. Get that coffee brewing, and have fun!

[PsychoCat]

Good morning all :D....I look forward to posting with you and getting to know everyone!!

[Calsegs]

:cool: Good morning to all y'all. Only it's either barely or NOT morning for most of you.

Reading Judy's posts takes me back to the days when I taught summer Montessori programs, and to the years when my own were those magical ages. Making butter, heck ,my 18 yr. old still does that on special occasions. It was always fun to cooperate with other teachers,mixing it up with the fun ideas.

It was cloudy last night so no good looks at Saturn, Venus, & Mercury. Boo hoo.

Lisa, I love your new(to me) doll.

I in one of those moods where I want to donate 80% of my closet to the Goodwill!

Goodwill would just laugh at my poor closet! I may need to shop in yours.

[Missy]

Hey everyone well seems like everyone thought I was missing yesterday or the past two nights cause I am a night owl . well yep I am so we took the kids fishing last night , and well my son got scared toward the end cause we saw a man up by the road .

I think he was trying to find a quiet place to fish but , my kids thought someone wwas watching us and let their minds run wild so he was ready to go after that .

So he waited it another ten mintues after Italk to him but the lamp we we had with us well one of the lamps burned out . So we packed it up and headed home the way my kids descriped you think it was a friday the 13th movie. lol

He got over his fear quick back to arguing with his brothers . :)

[catfeverintennessee]

Hey Ladies! I survived farm day! We made our butter, milked a cow (actually the water in the rubber glove thing!), made animal puppets to which we sang Old McDonald, watched a movie about a farm and read a book about farm animals! I think they really enjoyed it.

The recipe for butter is so simple. Heavy cream and put in a jar after sitting out at room temp for an hour. Shake for 25-30 minutes and you have butter! Of course, we stopped and started a few times but we got butter and ate it with some crackers. Every one of them ate it without saying "EWWWHHH, this is yucky!" They would not eat their lunch but they ate this with no complaints?? Go figure?:?

Thanks for your kind words, zonetoncatfan! I dolove my job. I like to think thatone of the reasonsI could have no children of my own was because God needed me here to be with all these other kiddos! So I have the best of both worlds. I get to be with the kids during the day playing and getting hugs while teaching them and then send them home with their parents while enjoy peace and quiet in the evenings.:lol:

Judy

[Missy]

Well, I think that is a GREAT idea and I will take you up on it. I have already slept later than usual so now I am going to spend the rest of the day floating in the pool with a good book! Hope everyone has a good one!

Judy

[zonetoncatfan]

Thanks for the recipe, Judy. Rachel and I will have a great time making butter. We'll probably do a farm theme day and include the cow milking too.

[Calsegs]

:cool: Good morning ladies. I'm off to see the Wizard ,or at least buy some groceries(bananas, Cool Whip, sour cream, vanilla wafers??)

I have the usual list of domestica . Critters to feed, watering duties, calls so return, DVDs likewise, the infinite laundry situation. Dinner production.

Our lives are good, and we are thankful. Yes?

Is it Tubby's b'day soon or did I miss it already? I think I lost my focus during the exodus from WCF.

[Missy]

Good morning ladies I am still up. I am a night owl as you can see and so as soon as I can stop gabbing lol I am off to bed so just wanting to say hope you all have a nice day today .

Judy

[TRexSmarts]

It's 7:45 am EST and I'm just now heading to bed. Probably be up in less than 4 or 5 hours to continue working on stupid computer. I hate when things don't go right! But that's part of life.

[catfeverintennessee]

Thanks. I just got her. Could not think of anything and since my hubby calls me the queen because of my interview with SI.com at the tournamnet, I thought I would go with that. Didn't she do a great job? I love it!

[Calsegs]

:cool:Spectacular!!

[trublu]

There are some great signatures on here, ladies. I salute you. I may have to find some bling-bling.:)Actually, I'm looking for that perfect lynx pic. I've got a few that I can reduce in size. But, I'm not very good at that sort of thing.

[Missy]

Hello ladies :P

[she~cat]

[CoquieKat]

Good morning, all! Hope your Saturday morning is looking relaxing!

she~cat, where did you get your "I love the Wildcats" blinkie? I've been looking all over the Internet for something like that. I'd ask about "Kentucky Sweetie," too, but technically I'm not one anymore. :?

[catfeverintennessee]

Good morning ALL! Have a great day! I get to clean house for company coming tomorrow:cry:YUCK!:cry:No playtime today.

Good morning ladies.

Could housecleaning be considered a work out?:P

Calsegs wrote: Good morning ladies.

yes could be still don't like it but still has to be done. :D

[Calsegs]

Well, mine's done for the week. capcat knows I have a good cleaning team, but I clean with them , get dirt up my nose, give them special weekly jobs, generally drive them crazy.
This way I get a better job, and I have no manicure to speak of, even though both of them have fancy nails.
Today , after I re-group, I plan to paint the base of my butcher block table fire engine red.

I'm sorry, I know it's a color much too close to the cardinal. :?

Sounds great!! Are those the kinds of colors you have in your house? I love a touch of red, sorry too about Lousiville. But, it looks good in the home. I'm booked up today, checking in on the board like a madwoman in between work and paying bills :(. All I really want is a good nap :D.

[Calsegs]

Yes, the casa is colorful.
Turquoise doors, Persian rugs, tons of bookish clutter, cats,dogd, art,etc.

Sorry:( you're sleep-deprived, glad you're scheduled up.:D

A neighbor friend of mine remodeled her house completely a couple of years ago and it is so colorful, even the exterior. It took awhile to get used to, but I love it. Everything else looks so drab in comparison.

I'm not sleep-deprived, just one of those sleepy, sleepy days. I just want a nap :cry:! I feel like I'm two ;).

[bleedbluelady]

Good morning ladies! I love color and have lots of color in my home. Lots of yellow, red and blue. Taking my nephew to the water park today. Hopefully I'll survive. :shock:

[capcat]

Good morning all :cool:. Have great fun at the water park bleedbluelady. Think they're crowded yet? :D You're a noble aunt :).

[POEKLM]

A noble aunt and a wonderful hostess......She rocks!!

Good Morning blue sisters, from Bowling Green. We finally got some much needed rain. I was afraid we would soonbecome known as the "browngrass" state. I hope that no onelives in the path of hurricane Dennis. Looks as though he's up to a category 4.

[capcat]

Good morning...we finally had some rain, too. It's been about a month and a half for us andtemps of about 102 for the past week or so, 104 the past two days. Everyone went outside on their porches to watch :).

[Missy]

Good morning we got rain yesterday for about 1 minute and than it was gone . a few online freinds said they could be hit by that hurricane I read their messages on another board so I am keeping my fingers crossed for them everything will be okay .

[Calsegs]

:D No rain here, because that would be WEIRD.


It is however MY birthday, and I'm such a child about my birthday that I feel the need to post it !

Can you all believe it?

[bleedbluelady]

As the French might say, "Joyeux jour de la Bastille!"

Good morning. Well, it's still morning here. The grass is starting to get green again. :)Hope everyone has a good weekend.

[capcat]

Thanks, Calsegs :). We're having a fun time, just the girls and my grandcat. Surprised to find out it's a Maine Coon cat...I thought of you and Dougie!

[capcat]

Good morning :). It's alsohot and humid in VA, only I do hope it means a good storm or two. I can't get enough of that. We're off to the farmer's market to get some good things to cook for dinner. Thenexploring some antique shops, I hope :).

[catfeverintennessee]

[CoquieKat]

Judy, I feel your pain. I have two cookouts to attend today, and they're talking about another batch of rain moving through. :cry: I know we need the rain, but...today?

Next week, when it turns hot and dry, we might be begging for this rain again!

Well, I wish you were here. We would gladly take you right along with us :). I'm a little bit closer this week, in Virginia this time. I love to go through antique stores up this way, because I can sometimes find things similarto whatI remember my grandmother or mother having around the house when I was growing up in Kentucky.

[she~cat]

good morning all:)

[Calsegs]

Morning girls. It's 73 and sunny . Supposed to be 89 today, which is too hot by about 5 degrees ,but I can't really complain.
We all love antiquing it appears. Cool.
I'm going hunting for some new teak patio furniture though. The Brown Jordan stuff we bought 15 years ago is really tired.Having a wedding at your house causes upgrades !:D

[PsychoCat]

Not sure what kind of teak furniture your looking for but Sams club (if you have one of those) had some nice looking stuff for great prices :)

[bleedbluelady]

I love antiquing also. They have the Burlington (KY) Antique Show the 3rd Sunday of every month April through October. I'll probably hit it tomorrow. It is huge and you can really find some great deals. :)

It is huge and you can really find some great deals. :)Wow, lots of us huh? We didn't find any treasures today. What I'm specifically looking for is an original print of a poem published in 1910. My grandmother kept one framed and hanging in her kitchen. It was called "Keep on Keepin' on" and the first line of itreads "If the daylooks kinder' gloomy...A lady at an antique shop googled it for me yesterday and foundsome leads that I'll follow up on, although I've researched before and come up with nothing. If anyone sees something like that while antiquing, I hope you'll let me know. I've looked for years but haven't been able to find an original print, although I have the words.

[TRexSmarts]

Just when everybody is about to get up and come on here, I guess I leave my version of "good morning" but in reverse. Good Night everybody! It's 6:46 am and I'm heading to bed!

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. God bless the day and us too.

Capcat I love antiquing also and I really love old estate auctions so I will keep my eye open.....I have an aunt who goes to every antique store she can find and loves digging. When they travel she makes her husband take all the country back roads lol hes learned to live with it.....I'll pass the word along to her also :)She just found my daughter a first edition of Little Women which she has been looking for

[Calsegs]

I'vve had a fine time in the NC antique stores I've rummaged in, Cali is not bad for antiques. Ky backroads are good, the worst town for antiques that I've been in is Lexington since 1975. Everything is overpriced and not enough variety to suit me.

Aren't we a literary bunch? It's so cool.:D

Are you going anywhere, Judy? Or does this signal the end of summer classes?

[catfeverintennessee]

Actually we are headed to St Louis to watch a couple of St Louis Cardinal/Brewers games and just relax. We may stop back by my inlaws in Paducah and go out on the lake with them on Friday. It will be just good to be away for a while. Hubby wanted to see the ballgames so I bought tickets for our anniversary but I don't mind the games. If it gets boring, I can always watch people, right? LOL:ggrin:Summer care ends next week, inservice the next and then school will start August 15. Not much of a summer as I can remember not starting back as a kid until after Labor Day.:cry:

[bleedbluelady]

TRexSmarts, you had heat exhaustion? :( Hope you are staying cool and drinking plenty of water. Heat exhaustion can be dangerous. Take care andif you're not getting betterget medical attention.

[TRexSmarts]

yeah I'm getting over it. Still drinking fluids like crazy. Surely not going to class tonight that is for sure. I'm getting over it just have some lingering effects of it now.

Good morning to you, capcat! Staying cool? Supposed to be a welcome cool down coming through today or tomorrow! Not sure about another vacation. Not only did hubby sprain ankle on last step at the ballgame but also did something to shoulder and mri yesterday says he has 2 bulging discs instead of pinched nerve like we suspected. Plus the 9th, he is scheduled for the sleep apenea surgery since the sleep clinic test showed he quit breathing 5 times for over a minute each time!:shock: After taking care of him through all thisand getting things ready for back to school, I will NEED a vacation! Can I go on my own?:ggrin:

Man, he has been through a lot hasn't he? I don't imagine he's feeling too well :?. I'm sorry about the time off...school is starting way too soon! How about a nice continuing education WORKSHOP ;)? Those are always good when you need to get away by yourself :). Now let me see, I have a few brochures right here...does improving articulation and language development using storybooks sound interesting? We can go ahead and sign you up for that one in Austin this October :cool:. I could take you to New Braunfels to the German Wurstfest while you're here :D.

[catfeverintennessee]

The company sounds great BUT I was thinking more along the terms of a reclining chair with a good book, soft breeze from thewater and a "hunk" waiting on me!:ggrin:

[PsychoCat]

I believe we're cooler than you all. Judging by the curly hair barometer, our humidity is fairly low, too. We have lakes...even one with a day spa :cool:. So come on down!

[Calsegs]

Hey friends, good morning. :)
I have 2 guys installing screen doors here making the customary noise ofschlepping hammering and drilling. Good thing one of them is my brother -in-law. It's 8:17 am--they're trying to beat the heat.

My son, Max has arrived home from a week of visiting his sister and her fiance in NYC where Max says it was really hot! I'm happy:Dhe's back.

Here, I'm tempted to say the marine layer has returned -blessedly, very foggy in the canyon this morning early ,with sun just beginning to peep through. Temp dropped to 56 during the night, awesome.

Busy day ahead , like y'all, I'm sure.
Judy-Tn. I'm sorry to learn of your husband's bulging disks, torn ACL . Correcting the sleep apnea will surely improve the quality of both of your lives!
Will he have knee surgery also.?
The bulges will hopefully calm down by themselves, if he can tolerate the process of waiting/healing ...at least , that 's what I know about the bulging problem. My husband has been dealing with the bulging disks non-surgically for over 20 yrs.He 's able to be very active for a long time now. Take care of yourself too, Judy.

Missed you yesterday , capcat-Judy.
Kristin, I hope you can stay cool today despite the challenge. Zero cooking indicated!!:cool:

[capcat]

Calsegs-wonderful that you enjoy cool evenings in CA. Are you replacing existing screen doors or is this a new addition for you?Something we've thought about looking into but haven't.

I posted several times yesterday, must have just missed you.

[bleedbluelady]

One of the great sounds of summer...a screen door slamming shut. :) Judy, you should at least treat yourself tothe entire package at a day spa. :cool: Kristen, it has finally cooled down here, even though we never got the rain they kept predicting. Can you imagine in the days before electricity...no fans, no a/c and having to cook over an open fire? :shock: God knew what century to put me in. ;)

[Calsegs]

Capcat--we're replacing screen doors that we installed 10-12 years ago and doors tht aare original to the house .Remember, we have radiant heat and no AC. A combination of dogs and very old screens called for 6 new doors: 3 bedroom, family room, kitchen, and dining room! Now if I can just get the Boxer to believe it when he can't push them open anymore ...:?:cool:
The screen door installation is complete. I need to start collecting bids for the house painting job that we've decided MUST precede wedding:DThen of course, we need 3 our of 4 toilets replaced...sweet.

Thanks Gillia, that's a nice thought.

Talk about ego-centric! I am that. Gillia, I thought you were referring to this Judy until just now read the OTHER Judy's post. Sorry, catfever, you certainly deserve that much more than I do right now! I was thinking of the day spa on the lake that I mentioned earlier.

Do you need AC where you live? I would imaginethere are warm days here and there like anywhere, though. My reservations about installing screen doorsare also related to pets. Our dog is a Lab mix and is spoiled enough to want to come inside. She's prettyforceful when she throws her weight into it.

Funny how the years change a person, I would be excited about newbathroom fixtures at this point!We plan to remodel, but it won't even be started before the wedding. Improvements in the meantime will be cosmetic, although much more than that is needed.

ThanksCalsegs. The sleep apnea will be great as he has had back and sleeping problems for years and I finally got through to him to have the sleep thing checked out before back surgery as the first thing a doctor will tell you when you have an injury or sickness is to GET PLENTY OF REST. I am hoping that alot of his back pain will ease up IF he can get a good nights rest every night instead of maybe once a week. The doctor saidtoday heis sending him to a physical therapist for some kind of traction device for the bulging discs. Then only problem I can see is hubby has absolutely NO Patience when it comes to healing. He wants an immediate cure.:shock:He is just supposed to keep his ankle wrapped and propped up when possible but as I said he is stubborn and very impatient about this. If swelling does not go down in a few more days, he will need another mri to see if there is ligament damage.:cry:

Well, I got as an end of the summer class gift today from one of mystudents some aromatherapy relaxation bubble bath, candle, and lotion. Have some frozen margarita bucket left so I am planning a little relaxation here in about an hour or so!;):ggrin:

Thanks everyone. Don't know why men are so hard headed and whiney when they get sick or injured! (oops I know I willcatchgrieffrom someone on this!:lol:) So before I get in any more trouble.... CALGON take me away!!!!!!!!!!:ggrin:

[she~cat]

good morning:)

[capcat]

Good morning - getting a late start.Maybe something to do with having adentist appointment.HOOray.

[Calsegs]

Good morning ladies.

I am experiencing some relief from worry about one of our 3 cats. Bella came to us an older , not totally healthy cat. She was beautiful , and affectionate ,but deaf and sort of lethargic. After nearly 2 years of a good life , she began to decline , showing all of the signs of kidney disease. Her last several days have been tough. This morning she appears comatose, so her release is near.

Even though , Bella was not my nearest, dearest feline, I am fond of her. I'll miss her Garfield-like flat face. I'm glad she's not suffering any longer.

[PsychoCat]

Im sorry to hear that calsegs ...but Im glad shes not suffering....pets become such a big part of our lives.....its hard to lose them, but even worse is to see them suffer or any pain. We had to have our beloved yellow lab put down in March and I misss her following me around. :(

[PsychoCat]

Any great ideas for dinner ladies where you dont have to heat up the oven? Im leaning towards BLTs with fresh garden tomato's......and maybe some cold soup like gazpacho.......its to hot to cook

[capcat]

I'm sorry to hear about Bella, Calsegs. Two of my pets have died recently, and am still sad about that.

[Calsegs]

:cry: just in from Bella's funeral.

She was a very beautiful and good kitty.
We buried her out under the redwoods along side our 20 year cat, Ami Noire.
Max was great , helped me create a deep cavity for her little shrouded form. She has a big piece of Utah flagstone topside.

I'm sad; it brings up the big , big loss that I felt when Ami died 2 years ago. Still, it is a blessing, as Bella was suffering.

So sorry Calsegs.....I know the hurt of loosing a furbaby.....may your heart heal quickly...

[catfeverintennessee]

Good morning everyone! hope all have a great friday and weekend.

Calsegs, sorry about your pet. Pets are like a part of the family and the loss can hurt just as much.

[bleedbluelady]

Calsegs, I don't know how I missed it yesterday, but I am so sorry about Bella. :(

[capcat]

Good morning everyone :).

[Calsegs]

Good morning ladies. For the first time in many mornings , I woke up and realized I wouldn't have to find Bella and see to her needs. She is somewhere sunny , chasing spiders or napping on her back..:)

Thanks to all of you for your kind expressions of sympathy/empathy.

On the bright side, I have a mother -daughter pedicure at noon with Zoë. I'm hoping the pampering time will be therapeutic for both of us!

Mom and I had an absolutely great day today. We worked in my garden, she cooked a wonderful dinner and I cleaned up the kitchen. Ordinary days like today areSO special.

[Calsegs]

That's wonderful,bleedbluelady. I would love some hang out time with my mom this summer.
Zoe and I had a quick (her lunch hour) nice time, she's got an orangey coral with a glitter top coat. Her students were appreciative.:cool:

Thanks all of you ladies who took a minute to say howdy to my longtime good friend, HomeyCat. He is really happy about his time here today. :D

[PsychoCat]

Good Morning!!

[TRexSmarts]

shhh... yes, it is but TL is doing a lot of homework today. Only reason he is actually up at the same time you ladies are. Only had three hours of sleep. TL has a very very very busy weekend.

To Do List for weekend:

1) Create a 5 page website for class project

2) Write a 5 page research page for class

3) Think about what I need to do for the apartment that I'm renting

4) Start my experiment for other class

5) Write a 15 page paper on that experiement

6) Do problem #5 for stats

7) Do the writing assignment #5 for class

Oh yeah, it's all due by 5 pm on Sunday. Anybody wanna help?

TRexSmarts

[Calsegs]

I plan to help TRexS by not PM-ing him too much today!:cool:

My night sucked.
I woke up after 4 hrs.sleep feeling too hot(:)guess I should've left the sliding door open after all) , went back to sleep, woke up at 4:30... too cold...put on some (black!) socks , tossed , turned, flipped, flopped,decided to get up and take some ibuprofen, eventually fell back asleep.
Fortunately, husband missed all this drama ,as he was working.

I'm sure my energy will return. Soon I get to drive across the valley to retrieve one of the family vehicles.
The weekend features working more 48 hrs. for my spouse:? and nothing too exciting for me,I'm just grateful the weather has cooled off.
I'll have some kind of fun , wash the dogs, or work on the wedding guest list which I'm instructed to enter in to an Excel spread sheet created for that purpose by my daughter.

I hope you all are enjoying the days away from employment , if you have the freedom and whatever else is going on:D

[capcat]

Calsegs, I slept 11 hours straight last night! Go figure LOL. Half the day is gone.

[Calsegs]

11 hours is magnificent!! maybe you had a sleep debt that needed eliminating:D

I feel fine, but I might go for a 15 minute nap sometime between 4 and 5 p.m.

Calsegs, do you mind if I ask you how old you are? Because this sounds like what I went through right after my hyster and it was all hormone related/menopause. Just wondering if you may be having some hormone up and downs. Trust me the night sweats are no fun and the sleeplessness. :cry:I used to start drinking a cup of sleepytime tea bedore bed and bought a pillow that is called a Chillow Pillow that keeps you pillow cold. It makes your pillow a little heavy but keeps it cool all night. Saved me many a nights!.

It felt like I could have slept even longer, so I believe you're right. When my older kids wereteenagers and my youngest was a toddler, I was in grad school. I went to Seattle for a convention during that time and slepton and offfor 3 days! The convention center was close by, so I would go to a session, then go back to my room and sleep until the next one and then sleep in the evening and all night, too. Serious sleep deficit back then:).

I'm sorry to hear that you had a restless night...maybe we'llswitchexperiences tonight :).

[Calsegs]

Good morning ladies!

Yesterday, my younger daughter crashed into the steel -reinforced concrete center divider of northbound Hiway 85, a busy freeway(flow of traffic moves at 70+) that connects the southBay to the eastern mid-Peninsula.

I won't get into the logistical details, the summary is : Zoë , somehow by the grace of God, is okay. My 2001(red!)GMC Sonoma pickup truck is accordionized, I suppose it may be "totalled."

I really liked my little truck, but all I can think /feel today is relief and gratitude that Zoë is physically well...she is still pretty shook up. She has some abrasions from the airbags, and I imagine she'll be sore all over when she wakes up.

I am hoping today will be uneventful...no feline funerals, no auto mishaps, no stricken phone calls from the young Segnitzes out in the world.
A very good day to each of you:)

[catfeverintennessee]

Oh my goodness! Thank God she is ok. Trucks can be replaced. Take care and hope you have a relaxing uneventfulday.:D

[Missy]

Glad she is okay take care and I am out of here for today ttyl .:)

My god, i am glad everyone is okay... accidents and the day after them can be strange.... like the day that your on, isn't the day really, if that makes a sense. I hope everything will be okay and i am glad zoe is okay.

[she~cat]

So glad she is okay, Calsegs! God Bless You both!

[PsychoCat]

Sorry to hear about your red truck Calsegs..... but so thankful she is ok.....makes my heart drop just thinking of anyones child hurt........if I had it my way....my children would never drive.....our youngest is moving 4 hours away in September and Im already a nervous wreck over the traveling back and forth on busy interstates.....especially when her driving experience is locally....Ive been told Im a "psycho mom" for asking them not to drive and talk oncell or change CDs lol

[bleedbluelady]

Calsegs, It's certainly not been a good week for you. But so glad to hear Zoe is okay.So sorry about Bella and your truck.:( I remember when my Mom's house burned to the ground...she called me one night practicallyhysterical, yelling"If one more person tells me I am lucky because I'm okay, I am gonna scream!" She was certainly grateful and thankful that no one was hurt in the fire. and she was okay. But at that point she was overwhelmed at EVERYTHING that needed to be done, from buying underwear, clothes, basic household items, finding a place to live, dealing with the insurance company, etc., etc., etc. I've always remembered this and when a disaster strikes someone close I havetried my darndest tonot say "You are lucky since...".

[catfeverintennessee]

Good morning sleepy heads!! Hope that noone on here yet means that everyone got a great nights sleep. Busy week getting things ready for back to school and inservice starts. Then hubby has surgery next week!:cry:Hope you all have a great day and week if I don't catch back up with everyone!

Thanks bleedbluelady! All went well doctor said. Only thing is when they operated on his throat and took his tonsils out as well, they did not open his ears up to LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!:ggrin::XSo hardheaded still! But seriously doctor says all went as planned but healing will be painful for a few weeks:?:cry:Not sure if it was supposed to aspainful for both of us though!:rolleyes:Thanks for thinking of us. Of to the hospital in a few to see if he gets to come home today. Hope everyone has a good one.

[bleedbluelady]

Good morning all. Catfever, glad to hear all went well. I can empathize with you on opening up the ears part. ;):P

[capcat]

Good morning. Catfever, there was an interesting (perhaps reassuring ;)) article in the news yesterdayabout the ability of men to hear women's voices...didyou happen tosee it? Women's voices have a musical quality that is more complex to listen to and therefore more difficult, at least for a man. It didn't sayif the same is true for women.

No I did not see that but I think his problem is more along the lines of being HARDHEADED!:DFunny I can tell him something that he needed to do while in the hospital and he bites my head off. The nurse or doctor tells him same thing and it is ok!:rolleyes:I quess my voice must beVERY "musically tuned" :ggrin:

Is it just Wednesday? And I was off Monday. Of course I had my 2 grandsons Sunday night until 7 on Monday evening. Not exactly a relaxing vacation day. But we had fun and I was glad to have the time with them. By 4 on Monday I had been called a mean TooMom! Oh well. Usually with my kids on a day off I was mean before breakfast :)

But we had fun and I was glad to have the time with them. By 4 on Monday I had been called a mean TooMom! Oh well. Usually with my kids on a day off I was mean before breakfast :)
:D I identify. School started yesterday for my daughter and this is the first year in many that I've not worked in a traditional job. I got out in the middle of the day by myself to run errands :cool:. It's a whole 'nuther world!

Good morning ladies.

Fourth child,Max, is safely installed in his freshman dorm, at his new school --University of California at Berkeley. I was a bit sad walking away, but I'm reminding myself, we can feel a sense of accomplishment here , if we can just relax the lump in the throat!:)

Second child and his LA -based band played a couple of Bay area shows ths weekend, offwhich I was able to catch last night's They've made a progress.
Division Day loaded up their gear after midnight and took off down the highway , a 5 hour drive through the night to SoCAL with work waiting for them this morning.
This all night driving practice causes a mother anxiety; nothing like the basket case she'd be if son were stationed overseas. It's not even a fair comparison, I realize. Apologies to those of you who have more serious conerns with your offspring.

It' s Monday, housecleaning day , I think I'll go eliminate a sizeable percentage of younger son's room debris, while he's not here to defend his "turf!" :cool:

good morning all

Calsegs I think the anxieties that come with parenting are never going to go away no matter how old they are. Just when I think I have everyone settled, and taken care of something else comes up...lol....when my oldest was away at school...I decided no news was good news lol....for the moment my oldest seems happy, healthy and very contentwith all in herlife...and as a mother it brings a tremendous sense of peace.

My youngest on the other hand ....is getting ready to move 4 hours awayto a big city not knowing anyone and will be in a one bedroom apartment on her own for the first time.With it comes major anxieties as a parent. I get the oh MOM chill and quit being so psycho I will be fine!!!! On top of she decided this morning she was NOT going to her doc appointment for a colscopy(sp) and will go later ...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you can not force a 19 year old to dosomething they have decided no way they are going to do and you can only talk so much ....so Im praying we can get through to her the importance of going.

Good luck with the room lol....be brave and throw throw throw lol ;)

Sounds like you sure have your hands full. Glad to hear the hubby is doing better. :)

Great news regarding your husband (and you:)), glad he's resting better.

Your kids(and their parents) sound like they're fortunate to have such an experienced, dedicated , loving teacher!

Your'e so sweet for saying that.:blush:I try which is more than I can say for some teachers I know. Just a shame that some do not realize that teaching is more than just a job.:cry:I am just so thankful that after not having kiddos of my own that God gave me all these at school to be a substitute mom to.

Everyone have a great day. Finally cooled off here some. Hope everyone else is cooler. Off to find something to wear for class picture day!:shock:

Judy, at dismissal time yesterday, I picked up a client at my old school and you would have thought I was a rock star :). One said, "Miss Judy...how did you know!". I want that class back :):). There's nothing like it.

TGIF!

I dreamt I went to a sleazy club(watching the Wire will do this to you) . When I went to leave, my purse had somehow slipped away, along with my identity...This produced a long search through many rooms, intermittent anxiety,being hit on by some sketchy guys(:D) and eventually leaving, knowing I'd already waited too long to call the credit card company!

Sure was glad to wake up.
Wonder what to be when I grow up , now that the last kid has gone to college...!

The weekend looks promising. I think I'll work on my metamorphosis.;)

Seriously, Carmen? Any ideas in mind? I thinkyou're A-OK as is :).

[Calsegs]

Judy, thanks for that.

No big ideas, but one never knows. Clearly, the subconscious is calling for some overhaul...:D
