Popping in myself to say hello and give more hugs :)

Laura, how's the spirits today? Feeling any better? I sure hope so. The great thing about all of this is we are going through some serious changes that isn't fun at all, but it is so incredibly worth it. How's are girl Millie today and is Ben still behaving.. hee hee

Chippers, way to go again with the 4. We are holding on tightly to you on this top branch. Diet coke is my absolute favorite. Is that what you are drinking now. Great idea with the ice. Can you put water in it too?

Hope are girl Synnen is still hanging tough with this. No doubt she is.

Thanks guys for being there. I know if it weren't for all of you, I would have jumped off this branch a long to me ago.

Stay strong :)

Hiya Allheart hope your Sunday outlaw visit hasn't been to stressfull and made you topal off the branch ;)

Me I'm still moody lol poor ben, millie has actually been normal today lol sure makes a change that's for sure.

Hi Sweet Laura,

Glad Millie is having an angel kind of day. Didn't go to in-laws today, hubby not feeling well.

Sorry your moody there honey, but it's so understandable.

Feeling a bit down myself - but I will shake it off. Not terribly down, just not me. But the sun will come out tomorrow :). Ugh, I make myself sick.. hee hee.

Oh anyway, lots of love and hugs coming your way. Still on the branch with you, and that is something that should lift both our spirits.

Many hugs.

Allheart

Won't someone think of the puppy :(

Awwwwwwwwww Cap - LOL thanks. Made me laugh and smile.

You betcha. We never forget little Harley.

Thanks again :)

Ahhhhhh cap, were constantly thinking of puppy. If we fall off, we screw her over for her treats:eek:
ALLheart, its okay to feel down once in a while. If it'll help think of all us goddesses together wearing grecian gowns and our hair decorated with flowers as we dance to our success in cbw's garden.:D
I' d doubt you falling off the branch would happen. Not with me holding on to your ankle. I don't do the water, but I've frozen water bottles, let them thaw a bit and add those lipton flavor packs as the ice melts the flavor stays the same. I've mixed regular diet coke with caffiene free diet coke (same with coke) to wean off the caffiene more. Each time I did it, I added more of the caffeine free than the regular.
I caught the monkeys (or oldest monkey) on the family man's web site and he's n ot happy I took the computor away from him for the rest of the day. My little one the orangatan decided to pile blankets at the bottom of the stairs and jump off the top step. He wasn't happy getting grounded either.
Syn has so much to look forward to. Between tales of Millie and Devon and Ryan, she should really be looking forward to having kids. And I hope she succeeds. I couldn't imagine my liefe without them or you fellow goddesses.

I'm starting to like this branch more and more each day. I guess its because I'm not allone up here. That really feels good to me.

Love to all
Chippers

That puppy needs lots of treats cap so don't you be mean to him or ill hunt you down ;) I wouldn't mess with me either at the moment I'm scary ask ben lol.

Chipper my jaw just hit the floor at the blankets at the bottom of the stairs and jumping from the top all I hear are ambulance sirens lol

Keep up the good work girls no one said this was easy ;)

A little incentive for you.

Puppy phone - Google Video

Oh... MY... GOD!!

I can't stop laughing CAP... oh my God. Poor Harley. That is just way too funny.

By the way, who was on the phone..?

Hugs to Harley.

My sister's boyfriend rang it while she filmed the mutt.

Oh Cap that's just naughty poor little harley what did he do to you huh huh

P.s what's your phone number ;) giggle

Hey CBW - Your right, no one said it would be easy, but it's well worth it. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night, hugs to you.

Chippers - Great idea mixing in the non-caffiene soda with the caffiene. Good for you!

Boy really wanted one today, but with that adorable Harley's face on my mind and in my heart, and the both of you and your encouraging words... no way was I picking one up. Keep a good grip on my ankles there chippers and grab CBW's as well. We're in this together.

Lots of love and hugs!

LOl, I thought so. But I didn't want to say anything. Sometimes when they do that, their sacks have to be emptied (seriously). Has he had that done yet. My vet would do it and boy PU, not a pleasant aroma. :eek:

LMAO CUT HIS BALLS OFF woo hoo all men need that not just animals I wreken...
Either that Cap when was the last time he was wormed?

Here's a website about anal sacs... happy reading

The Anal Sacs Page

Not sure if that is what it is. Hope it helps. Poor little Harley has an itchy bum. He's too cute for that :)

Giggle from smoking to itchy arses caw what a conversation lol

Im off to bed Allheart my sweet, ill see you in the morning lots of love xxxxx

LOL, oh my I know. Can't believe I posted that.. nothing too good for our Harley though.

Oh CBW, have a good night. I know tomorrow is the dreaded Monday. Bleck!! I will be thinking of you all the day long. Stay secure on the upper branch. I will try and get a break at work and pop in to say hello. Boss is back tomorrow... bleck again. Hee hee.

Lots of hugs to you CBW and thanks for everything. Angle kisses to Millie.

It wouldn't be the first time I've played ambulance driver and rushed to hospital. They see me coming and refer to their blood type as the usual. 3 years ago my oldest decided to place blankets on the couch and booggie boarded off the sofa. He broke his arm in three places. Six hours later and major surgery, he had his arm surgically pinned. The doc could not keep a straight face whenever he talked about it. He said he'd been a surgeon for 20 years and my son was his first boogie board accident. Not too soon after that, ( I swear, the guardian angels are working over time with these 2) . I was doing laundry and hear wheeeeeeeee, thump thump thump and a lot of laughter,my youngest used my clothes basket to sled down the stairs. I was a basket case. I can't describe how I felt. I just knew I could'nt move. If I did he would've really needed a doctor.
Allheart, I'llbe popping in tomorrow to say Hi. And seeing how everyone is doing.
With those two kids, you think I would hang on to everyone?
I've already been on this branch before. I can make sure you stay on.
Sweet dearms cbw. I can't thank you enough for all this you started. Not only am I lowering my caffeine intake, I've met very nice goddesses to boot.

Love to alll!!
Beth

Same here CBW

And hugs and love to you to Chippers. We are staying firmly on this branch. Hey, I want to come to your house and slide down the steps in a laundry basket... that sounds like a blast!!

Love to all.

LOL. Plllllease... I've had a down of a day... :)

Hugs

Oh heart, the last ting I want to do is bring you down. I was only kidding. I would never let go of you. If you're having a down day, I'll hold on tighter.
If I can survive Ryan going down the stairs, my heart will handle one more.

Love
chippers:)

Hee hee. Thanks, it's just what I need a good tumble down the stairs. Just close your eyes, hold your hears and have the first aid kit ready... hee hee.

Love you lots

Lmao
And smelling salts for me.

Thanks chippers. Think I'll bet some practice at home first... hee hee... weeeeeee look at me fly down the stairs... just kiddn. But it does seem like fun.

Have a great night.

Lots of hugs

You know... I'm TERRIFIED of falling. Like... I can't stand on a chair to hang things on the wall terrified. It's an actual phobia with me, with the panic attacks and everything. Not heights, just falling. And I want to do the stairs in a laundry basket too.

Please?

Yesterday was awful... I searched this entire apartment for a smoke. Smart hubby got rid of them... but I was going to be bad. I wasn't, because I couldn't find any, but I *wanted* to so badly.

Glad to hear you're all still hanging in there!

(Next weekend, by the way, will be the true test. 5 hour drive to my mother's, a weekend with my family, and a 5 hour drive back. Alone. Ugh.)

Oh god I've really started something. I'll open my own thrill ride. Just bring crash helmets. I'll let ryan teach everyone and promise not to ground him.
Oh syn, I can imagine what it was like wanting one so badly. Give hubby a kiss for cleaning out the secret stashes. It's okay to want one. But I wonder if it wasn't a relief when there were none to be found. Cause I think if you wanted one that badly, you would've gone out to get them. But you didn't. As with all addictions, there's a little anxiety when we first realize we've been without them. The cigis were our security blanket, to help relieve our times of stress. Being without them we have to create new habits. But If I haven't already said it, I'm very proud of you Syns. It took strength to admit you wanted one rather than needed one. There is a difference
Mothers and families can be trying on the nerves. (trust me on this one). Maybe because we're so closely intuned we know what buttons to push. But you'll bave a five hour drive to relax and prepare. Here's a mantra to keep saying over and over again to help see you through.
"I AM A WOMAN FULL OF SPIRIT, FULL OF LIFE AND LIFE GIVING. I EMBODY ALL AROUND ME AND I AM A GODDESS DIVINE".
Plus there is your other family here who will be waiting for you. As for being afraid of heights. I am not letting go. I've been on this branch and I know how to hold on.
If the mantra doesn't work, we'll send your mother down the stairs in the basket.

Love you lotss Beth

LOL... that made me laugh!

Actually, I love my mother. She's one of my best friends, now that I'm an adult. It's the REST of my family that I could do without. Greedy conniving annoying people!

My mom needs my help though (my parents are moving out of the house I grew up in to another state, and my mom is panicking), so unless the weather is bad, I'll be heading over. If it's snowing though, she can do it herself. What should have been a 5 hour trip was 9 hours when we went home for Christmas, due to the snow.

All right, I'm off to bed. Talk to my fellow goddesses tomorrow from work!

Aha!! The GODDESS with in is catching on!!

Yes his bum needs emptying, he fills up every month or so :p

Good Morning everyone - (special hugs to Harley and his itchy bum )

Hope today goes well for all.

CBW - it will be over in an blink and before you know it, it will be Tues. :)

Three cheers for Synnen's hubby for getting rid of the secret stash. Synnen, I so wanted one too, so don't feel bad.

Chippers, hee hee, seems like it will be a Goddess thrill ride... wheeeeeee Good luck with the pop today. You are doing so well.

Love and hugs to all. (Thanks for the smiles Cap, keep the coming )

Good morning my lovelys...

Woke up feeling like my heads full of cotton wool think I'm going down with a head cold yucky as ever its Monday yucky to me it means a sad little girl because her daddys not here and a mummy who will be glad when 5pm comes around.

Hope you are all well and that poor puppy is OK love and hugs to you all xxxxxx

I won't look at the pup again. Those big brown eyes got to me the first time. Iwould never forgive myself if I fell and harley was deprived of her biscuit.
Cbw, I woke up the same way. Its cold here in jersey and we had snow last night. Just enough to tease the boys but luckily, no battles like Friday.
Okay, now we have a thrill ride and a name for it. I better up my home owners insurance before we open it. We should all try it out for fun before we open to the general public.
Allheart, I hope you have a better day today than yesterday.
Cbw, I hope millie bets into a better mood so you have some peace on the top branch with the rest of us.
Syn, I hope you have a good day ay work and her royal nastiness keeps off your radar.

Love you alllllllllll
Chippers.

Just cheering everybody on. Not going to take over the thread like that teenager one day that must have been let loose on the computer. All his posts were erased anyway. No one probably even remembers.

Okay, Now I do have an addiction for you which I have been struggling with. I know it might sound silly. Here goes:

FOOD.

Yes, I have a hard time resisting that Mcdonalds meal sometimes or eating out or eating in. Both my wife and I find it hard making all homemade food now that the little one is here, but we just made a deal.

No more café food from work, no more restaurant food, no more take out, no more delivery. Nothing but from the grocery store for ONE WHOLE YEAR!:eek:

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day, and did not mean to hijack the thread lol.

Joe

OMG Joe that new picture of the little guy is just way too cute!

And you hijack anytime you wish :)

Hey, you and your wife can hang out with us on the top branch. We all stand together. You guys can do this. Every time you give in to those awful greasy fast food burgers, you just lust us know, and then one of us gets to light up :) Deal? WoW that may not be fair, but we have poor Harely on our mind, so in comparison, we went "light" on you (no pun intended)

Today, for some reason, the urge to smoke is increasing. What the heck is with that? Thank God for all of you and mentally I am so strong. But the urge is increasing not decreasing.

I just love you guys. Many hugs.

(the boss is really in a nasty mood today. But we all have days like that.)

Hugs again.

Good morning Chippers I'd definitely up the house insurance lol oh the joys honestly what have we let ourselves in for lol.
Not feeling that much better my heads pounding I think its sinus pain oh the joys of head colds yucky tissues too.

Joe my sweet you can crash here any time you like hell we can support you with your no more take out and bad food you are naughty mind you 6 months on you need a verbal kick up the butt you should be into some kind of routine by now ;) hehehehehehe I try to make sure I get something out the freezer in the morning to swing into the oven in the form of casserole or bake or even stir fry I have to admit though the more I do around here the more energy I have as weird as that sounds.
Heck you could even do the cook off thing at the weekend and freeze yourselves up portions your going to have to start doing that for little man soon enough anyway so your better off getting into the swing of it now lol.
So come on Joe get up on this 0 branch with us and kick that dirty take away habbit lots of hugs xxxxx

OOOh Laura and Chippers hope you feel better. Great on top of everything else huh?

Get better and bundle up!

Hugs
