OMGosh, Fizz! I just spewed my sweet tea on my computer screen!

[Leila]

Definitely a robot monkey--it's name is Strep Throat.

blah.

[newfiemountiewife]

I'm having a vomitrocious week. That is it in a nutshell.

Oh-vomitrocious. I like that word. I'll be saving it for future use.

We adopted a dog last week. She is freaking Houndini! There hasn't been a kennel built that can hold her, a lead line she can't rip from the ground, a collar she can't slip out of She jumps & climbs over a 6ft fence, banging herself against a tied down tarp so often it snap the rope holding it, leaving a 3 inch gap she somehow catapults herself through....

I'm starting to get some idea of how she ended up in the shelter in the first place.

Since the only other viable option is crating her endlessly (because she hasn't learned to play nice with the house cats yet) until DH adds some slanted fencing to the top of the kennel - I am on all day dog watch.

Make a sandwich - look to see if she has gottne loose
Read a post - look to see if she has gotten loose
Rotate the wash - look to see if she has gotten loose
Vacuum the carpet - oh crap! she's gotten loose. get in the van, hunt her down, load her up, put her back in the kennel or on the lead, repeat

for 4 days now. We've only had her a week & we start obedience training next Saturday so I am striving for patience

and huming the theme from the Great Escape.. :)

[lizzyfizzy]

PAH!!!! i lol at you stacey.

k, we have a few more to add to the rebellion and a dog. we are getting somewhere.

[iJenny]

sounds like the dog has been taken over by the robot monkeys for quite some time. Good luck with that, Stacey. :D

:D:D:D:D:D:D

[MamaK]

:glare:the robot monkeys are telling me to go shower cause i stink

[tuneskids]

here, sorta, maybe, kinda.

work in the morning, then sucked into reading for the past two weeks. Damn the librarian for telling me about the Night World books, I have read the first two volumes (three "books" in each volume), and am on the last "book" in the third volume.

[Linz]

this is C's last week of preschool (until the fall) and dh took a long weekend for the holiday... despite the fact that we had no plans. he goes back tomorrow. thankfully. :p

[Traci Reed]

Week before the last week here..tomorrow we have park field trip for school so I'm busy working today..joy.

[MelissaL88]

The robot monkeys are actually making me work today. :( I slipped away while eating lunch to check out all the craziness here. :D

[kscwgirl]

I'm sort of here.. working and trying to play catchup.

[emmasmommy]

I had to take Emma to the doctors this morning...she was SUPER fun. It's also the last week of school here, plus I'm trying to get my crap together for a garage sale this weekend. I'm nuts...why did I agree to do this?

[jomi]

I am trying to get my house organised before starting work again next week :)

[EveRecinella]

Busy...school is coming to an end for the summer...the weather is gorgeous...just don't feel like being on the computer as much. :)

[~Julie~]

Im here.. No monkeys here..

Im just busy scrapping. Got 5 layouts done yesterday and 3 today. That is about all the excitement going on in this house.

Haley has school till June 12th so she still has a about 2 weeks left.

[Nettio]

I'm here, just trying to get some projects finished up before my DH leaves. Right now I'm trying to pick out paint colors for the master bathroom - it's hard!

[chastml]

I'm here. My DS is getting over his Strep and is getting into so much trouble with his sister. Add to that the baby is trying so hard to crawl and refusing to nap and I'm one very distracted/frazzled mama. I need to scrap. Maybe I should do that now, huh? :)

[newfiemountiewife]

Oh-vomitrocious. I like that word. I'll be saving it for future use.

I can't take credit for that one, thank Perez for it :D

[LeeAndra]

DH and I just got back from a mini-moon to Nashville, TN over the holiday weekend. Pics on FB, of course.

I'm trying to keep up with the house now that I'm unemployed and wrapping up things for my sister's wedding on June 13th. DH is job hunting like a banshee and just finished mediation over a bunch of issues with his son, so we're adjusting to a new visitation schedule with him that will change again when school starts in August.

I go to every other week dr appts next week and am enjoying picking up little pink 'n' purple things here 'n' there.

Oh yeah, and just not as interested in being social online. Sorry, ladies. Still love everybody, but have been spending time with IRL people and really getting into scrapping again and really proud of my latest pages like I haven't been in a long long time.

If only there was a robot monkey to fold the laundry... :)

[AnnieBananie]

I'm just hiding from you a-holes. ;) Kidding. We're starting to really kick the packing and such into high gear... so I'm here... just not real social-like.

[ditzyscrap]

I'm around...sorta! :) The kids had me up early this morning (though thankfully my mom got them fed and Mason off to school) and then I went back to bed and slept for a couple more hours. Now I'm just chilling, but it's like I've forgotten how to type so I'm being quiet...LOL!

[jessica31876]

school ends here on June 3rd (june 4th is the first day of summer break). Im here off and on. Have a headache and Im just not feeling well right now. I am on antibiotics in preparation for a dentist visit tomorrow for my tooth that the dentist prior screwed up when he filled it :( It hurts something awful and the antibiotics are not helping and the pain meds make me feel so sick.

[livelys]

Its half-term holidays in the UK this week - so I don't get as much time to play with my PC as usual.

Its doesn't help my sanity that my DH 'forgot' it was the school holidays and has gone to Brussels on business - I will be thinking of lots of interesting ways he can make that little mistake up to me...!


Nice to see you Bree!

[lizzyfizzy]

okay good. it appears there is life still on planet earth!! keep all the men and children safe ladies so we have a future.

[Shawna]

My girls are out of school for the summer now (my 5yo's last day was Wednesday & my 7yo's last day was Thursday) so I've got all three kids here at home and they are already driving me nuts lol! I can't get anything done around here cause as soon as I do they just mess it up again!

[mummytothree]

I had some running around to do, to pick up last minute vacation stuff. I had some laundry to do, for vacation. I'm packing for vacation. Can't you tell I'm going on vacation :D :D

[LenaGardner]

Hmmm, I just haven't been feeling very social. Don't mind to come on and reply to threads but haven't felt very open for the last several months. Outside of asking for prayers for Naomi's toe (which is much better now!) I haven't felt like sharing online. I'm not sure why...nothing has happened to make me feel shy...I just feel...different. It's hard to describe.

I did go away and get a job that didn't end up working out (I HATED quitting it after only a month but it was NOT for me). I'm torn right now between wanting to job hunt and wanting to just be at home.

I'm not feeling scrappy, I'm not feeling social, and I'm not feeling sucessful. I guess I'm just going through some stuff. Nothing is terrible, everything is okay...I'm just here. Some days I feel more plugged in than others. I'm sure people know what I mean.

[lizzyfizzy]

lena, it's the story of my life. one day i'm on, the next i'm off. it's a very strange place to be in.

[junebug]

i'm here. browsing. we went to Sams Club and bought some food, then came home. i talked on the phone with my mom, watched some tv with Chad, argued and yelled at the kids and finally put a movie on for them in hopes that they'll take a nap. yah. right. chloe gets off the bus in about 15-20 minutes. we may head to town again, who knows. tomorrow is Chloe's last day of school. Friday Chad has a doctor appointment in Marion at the VA hospital with his psychiatrist at 9 am. we now live in Fulton which is about an hour and 45 minutes away :blink: which means we'll have to leave around 6:30-7 am to get there in time :blink::thumbdown:

No robot monkeys here, though maybe that would be some excitement? :D

and Lena, i know how you feel. after my short hiatus i feel sort of detached from everyone, like i have to start all over again making friends, lol.

[newfiemountiewife]

Same here Lena....this week especially I feel so down and out of it.

((hugs)) for everyone who needs 'em.

[kresta]

I'm here a little, between playdates and 4-mo. old baby needs, and cleaning house/laundry, etc. My kids are out of school as well, so I'm trying to keep them busy. They're napping now and I think I may do the same in a few if I can get Sadie to nap once she gets off the b**b. :)

[ColleenSwerb]

Lena, I am TOTALLY feeling like that lately too. I pop in here and there, but overall I'm feeling distant. NO idea why. I'm just trying to go with the flow and follow my heart and do what I gotta do. It's a phase that will pass on it's own I'm sure.

I'm feeling swamped. With projects, with wedding needs (which is almost scary since things have just barely started ramping up again now that we're at 4.5 months), with Jordan and being present with him. Just a little overwhelmed, which will also pass.

[aggiefamily]

I was taking a nap. I am trying to get as many in as I can before school is out.

[crystalbella77]

I'm here. :) Just not as chatty as usual. :p

[crystalbella77]

I feel a lot like Lena lately too.... HUGS girls!

[heatherdumas]

It makes me sad because I keep trying to scrap and I keep closing photoshop. I have no ooomph right now. School got done last week. I went from having something to do every day of the week to feeling pretty useless. I am broke and I don't see that changing anytime soon. So I haven't really wanted to hang much. I hate being a downer. But since I am not the only one, HERE I AM!!!!

[SamaraGugler]

What up L?

[4noisyboys]

School is over for the most part, but we have awards ceremonies, senior farewell parties, band parties, etc...this week, ending with graduation on Saturday. We won't be having a big party for him though. I am sending him to his older brothers house in Texas for a week (they are both very excited about that), and I think I'll just get him a new iPod or something. He lost his last year and I refused to replace it! I bought myself a new car instead of getting him one! He can use the old van!! :D

So...with trying to scrap a little here and there, cleaning up my computer (burning DVD's and organizing) cleaning up my house some (painted over the weekend)...and then with work too...there isn't a lot of time.

[pbumbaca]

I have no free time anymore now that they've blocked me from work and we have baseball and soccer two nights a week and all day saturday.

Last day of school for us isn't until June 24th but nothing changes for me then since I still have to get the youngest to daycare everyday!

[xboxmom]

I hit the gym this morning and I dont know...Just been in one of those funky moods lately... :(

[meganmecrazy]

My son has been dragging around his creapy alien dudes all day and they have done very bad things. When we went to visit my aunt in the nursing home today I had to put one of the aliens in jail (under a plastic cup) because he slimed my glasses. And then the other alien tried to lock us in her room so that we couldn't get out. What a day...
