what's up?

[emmasmommy]

anything new and exciting?
i feel as if i haven't been in the forums much lately and i'm missing out. so, tell me, what's new with you?

[mariewilcox]

Well, I'm up - LOL. Been up since 5 am working :thumbdown:

Not too much going on here - Cheyanne has a basketball skills clinic for 4 hours today and tomorrow morning. I work today (of course it's gorgeous outside!) but I might be able to sneak away when Cheyanne gets out of basketball at 1:00 ;)

Tomorrow she will be going to her uncle's after basketball so I have a day to myself - need to shampoo the carpets and rearrange her bedroom so I can put in the new vanity table she's getting for her birthday.

So that is the exciting news from this neck of the woods! :D

trying to get ready for a rummage sale... and having to go through 5 years of baby clothes... :crying: I'm such a sap...

[Leontine78]

Nothing new here......just waiting and waiting untill the baby comes. Today I have a bad day. Crying most of the time and just not feeling me anymore. I am a bit tired of being pregnant today. Less than two weeks untill due date. I really don't hope I run two weeks late. I don't know if I can do this for four more weeks.

[pomi]

Oh Leontine, anything is normal in this stage. Hormones, blah. ((Hugs)).

We have just over a week until our move :). We're moving from a small town near Prague to my husband's hometown in a wonderful part of our country (mountains nearby). It's still about 1,5 hrs drive to Prague. This is funny, because some people keep telling us that we're going "so far away from Prague" (Prague is where I was born and grew up), but I always think that this is the distance some of you guys here in the forum have to the nearest Walmart. :) Also, there isn't as usual to move here, especially after you build a house, which we did 3 years ago. Now we've just decided we wanted to live somewhere else and we went for it but most people here actually think we're crazy. :) Never mind.
We'll be packing next weekend and moving on Monday 30th. I'm looking forward so much. Our new house is an older one with lots of remodeling awaiting, which I actually find exciting. :)

Only thing new I can think of is I got a raise yesterday. :)

[KristinCB]

we are going to pick up lily today! she has been gone for almost 2 weeks and i'll be really happy to have her back home with us :D She's had an amazing time at camp so I am happy about that - she stayed at my parents last night so was able to talk to her.

After we pick her up we are going to a festival thing in the next town over - fun stuff for the kids and such.. midway too but hoping we can avoid that :P (SOO not a fan of those lol)

[DawnMarch]

We're having our son, Daniel's, b-day party tonight. 3 boys over for a sleepover in a big tent that is set up in our living room! So, we're enjoying the calm before they arrive!

[YepBrook]

Nothing new and exciting here. :p

[MommaTrish]

Oh Leontine, that's totally normal at this point. ((hugs))

Well Laura, everything I can think of I'm sure I've posted on Facebook so you should know. lol Mason is scooting. I got asked to stay on as the permanent 3 year olds teacher. My big boys are driving me crazy. Bella is driving me off a cliff. Um... Oh and I'm going school clothes shopping later today because we've only got TWELVE DAYS until back to school!!
:thumbup:

I am busy planning Weston's birthday party! I got the invites done and now working on an iron on design for the gift bags. (yes, I go over the top for birthdays. LOL) I am so excited because it is Mickey Mouse. I may be a bit more excited than everyone else. LOL I just keep marking things off the list and getting them done.

We also have court coming up for him on August 2nd. So I have all the paperwork for that I am working on also to submit to the courts and workers. That isn't fun for me. I am hoping that court goes well for Weston. The stress and worry are already starting to creep in. Trying to stay focused on his birthday to keep my spirits up. His party is the following week. :)

Other than that........just trying to keep the kids from driving me crazy and stay out of the heat. Some days I achieve this and other days I do not! :D

[emmasmommy]

[YepBrook]

brook, you lead such an exciting life!

:D I am having the most killer period I think I've ever experienced in my life right now. We're talking super +, overnight pad craziness. :blink: Does that count?

[farrijc]

We went to a first birthday party today - the birthday girl opened (or rather her parents) a million presents! Reminds me that I miss having a baby around the house, but I think I always will.

When we came back home, my 3 and 8 year old put on a circus for us - they did some magic tricks and then put on some makeup and acted like clowns. They pretended to punch each other then fall down, and the finale was a food fight. Tomorrow, we are all going to the "real" circus - Ringling Brothers. I'm looking forward to it... and to scrapping the pics with Traci's kit :)

[maryinaz]

I haven't been around too much either. We just got back from a cabin up in northern AZ in the mountains. Gorgeous up there! Cooler weather and rain. But we are always happy to be home in our own house and beds. :)

Went shopping today for some new clothes - JCP has a huge clearance sale going on. :thumbup:

And my oldest is on a hunt for a house to live in this coming school year with a few other guys. It's kind of freaking me out, but I'm trying to stay mature. ;)

School starts here in TWO WEEKS! So I have to start getting in the mode for that. :blink:

[ZaCola3]

trying to finish this dumb tutorial I agreed to do-I'm about ready to throw my computer through the wall. I'm not a tutorial writer. end of the story.

Oh, Brook. You crack me up! :D

I went to ikea on Tuesday and ended up buying a new bathroom cabinet, sink and mirror for our guest bathroom/only non-master bathroom we have. We decided to tile the floors before putting it in because the new cabinet doesn't go all the way to the floor like the old one did. I was hoping to get the linoleum pulled up and the tile laid today, but there is always something that pops up. (EVERY step of the way with our remodeling/projects since we bought the house 5 weeks ago, has had opposition in some way...) We are still cleaning the floor up and won't get any tile laid since it's almost bed time. Kinda disappointing, but I'm super excited we are doing this though! :D

Other than that, I'm just living day to day, praying I won't have a gall bladder attack more than every three to four days. That really sucks... but yeah, trying to stay positive, cause today I didn't have one. Yay. :D

I've got family staying at the moment (from Australia). The twins are ADORABLE, and I have lots of photos to scrap once they're gone. Since my Brother and SIL are sleeping in my study, I've had no time to scrap, but they go home tomorrow, so I can catch up on my CT work then.

My dd Brooke got baptized yesterday which was really really special. I'm so relieved the day went exactly as planned and that she enjoyed herself and got totally spoilt.

Work wise, I've been asked to relieve for an admin lady at the kindy for the next 4-8 weeks. She broke her knee really badly, so they don't know how long she'll be out. So instead of working 1-2 days a week, I'll be working 4-5. Good pocket money though I guess.

We went on a little adventure today along old Route 66, after stopping to see a really big steam shovel (http://bigbrutus.org/). We stopped to take pictures at a historic bridge (http://www.takemytrip.com/08plains/08_25a.htm#bridge), visited "the most robbed town in America (http://www.takemytrip.com/08plains/08_26a.htm)" (which has an awesome museum!) and got up close and personal with the ORIGINAL Tow Mater (http://www.takemytrip.com/08plains/08_24a.htm) from Cars (official letters from Disney confirm this fact!) It was pretty fun. :)

Gotta say... sorry! I hate that. That is the story of my life though... hourly, for 2 weeks last month. :( Stupid high estrogen really does me in.

[nun69]

I made it through a crazy week and pulled off Peyton little 5th bday yesterday and he is still wearing the same Lego Pirates shirt that he went to bed in :)So I guess it was a good day :)
