Thanks. You are right. I took a shower and feel refreshed and new, I asked the kids why I look old today and they said cause I am. I have to go tie them up and put them in the closet for the remainder of the day. I know I know I need to be a bit nicer. Not today baby, not today, they are going down. (at least the 10 and 12 year old are) HUGS

Yes walmart. Palmer huh? My youngest son Max was born here in Oregon and gets real mad when everyone else says they were born in Alaska, it is kind of cute.

Giggle give them nothing but vegies for the dinner giggle

Veggies it is. I am going to have from my lovely husband some alfredo with grilled chicken and lot's of other good stuff. He is a great cook.

Ben cooks Sunday lunch all the time its my one day off even if I do get all the washing up tomorrow lol

I don't mind washing up, as long as my tummy is full and Dustin does it with love, I am down with that. Good for you taking a day off, I will soon be enjoying dinner. Hugs, I have to pay attention the noises in my hall closet now!! HAHAHAHAHAH

LOL you mean you didn't gag them hell women come on sort it out ;)

I know, I should have learned my lesson the last time when the lady next door came to see if anything was wrong.. LOL You have me crackin up.

Tee hee honestly women what are you like ;) your supposed to learn from your mistakes giggle

Good morning Lady's and Joe hope you are all well :D

Its another grumpy Monday here I'm considering locking myself under the stairs until its all over lol

I learned my lesson fast. That is unless you really want to know how someone is, don't ask or they'll give you their life story.
oh bother.
I went out Saturday and had my hair nails and eyebrows done just for a nice treat. I came out feeling like a new woman. I'm rechanneling my flapper obsession again and went for the bob.
I went to the rick springfield concert yesterday. When I tell you I was 2 INCHES from shaking his hand and fell on my arse, I'm not lying. But it was worth it. I actually had fun. I called J-9 and let her hear as much of it as I could.
Start congrats. You are officially a non smoker and a member of the top branch society.
(crowns start with a laurel wreath and officially welcomes the new fledgling goddess.) you may dance your happy dance now.
I can't wait to get the garden started next month. The nursery guys said early June for the flowers I'm planting is better. I'll take tons of pics for everyone to see. This is my way of showing everyone here just how much I value and love you all. And how much Your friendship means to me. Someone once told me that a friend is a gift you give to yourself. I say then I'm the luckiest woman in the world.
we're togethr for a reason as I'm sure Our resident Guardian angel All heart would say, God brought us together.
If I'm dreaming you guys up PLEASE DON'T WAKE ME!! Hehe
chippers

Hehehehehe glad you had a good weekend hunny you deserved it :)
J told me about the call last night when we were troll hunting giggle.
Your garden will look lovely I'm kind of pleased with everything I've planted in the last month its all come on really well.
Lots of hugs xxx

You mean you really DO want my life story?

Thanks to all of your for your well wishes about Birthmother's Day.

Hope you all had a nice weekend, and a nice Mother's Day. Chippers, your mom was smiling at you all day yesterday!

You girls and Joe, if I never wrote another word, I could still read you everyday! How sweet can people be. CBW, we need to get you off the bad day crisis. Can you just leave and go to a special spot today? Chippers what ever you have planned, it will be beautiful. Synnen, you were in my thoughts all weekend. Joe, I hope the teething is better, they have homeopathic teething tabs that desolve right in your mouth, never worked for my kids but they might for yours. That is a tough road. BUT it is one that ends. Allheart, you have a wonderful way of showing people how special they are. I am enjoying the thoughts of yesterday. Children and yard work today! Fun stuff to come. Hugs to all of you...

Hehehehehe Im all right I just don't do to well when I have broken sleep I'm so used to millie sleeping through that I turn into a oager giggle.
Glad to see you are all OK xxxxxx

Maybe you could snuggle with her to take a long nap. Poor baby, and you... she loves you

Way too quiet today, what the heck is going on out there? Today is supposed to be a great day, but I am feeling a little low. I am going to read my kids jokes and see if I can crack a genuine smile.

I'm sorry... I am having an extraordinarily hard time today.

With Mother's Day this weekend, and my daughter's birthday tomorrow... it's tough to begin with.

But to top things off, we found out that I'm NOT pregnant (again) yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day to me, huh?

Oh my darling Syn its just so dam unfair you deserve a wee one more than anyone lots of love and hugs to you sweety chin up remember your special.

Start your going to be just fine keep it up all power to you for doing what you are doing sweety.

Hi everyone -

Startover, you are just way too cute. :):). And so proud of you!! You stay strong.

Chippers and Laura - special love an hugs come your way.

Synnen- if only what I feel for you could erase what you are going through.. What we all feel for you. Not one word I type here seems the right word to type. All I do know Synnen, is I do have faith. I really do. And just feel there is a master plan at work. Bumber is, we won't know what that plan is until it actually is revealed. Until then, you stay nestled ever so close to those who love you and be sure to keep us in that group.
Love you bunches Synnen.

Hugs to superfamily as well.

Sorry I hope I did not forget anyone. Just know all of you are in my thoughts and heart!!

Synnen, I feel compelled to offer one of my children to you, pick any one you would like. No, I am kidding, I just want you to feel better. If I could I would have that baby for you. What is the situation, I am not up to date? My sister in law had twins while they tried for two years to get pegnant. Thousands of dollars later and many appt's. They didn't think she could, she had a very small chance but it happened. And to top it all off, since she didn't think she could have any children she never went back on the pill and a year later guess what, little Hanna is here, 3 babies and they said it couldn't happen.
I can't imagine what hurt you are going through. Just close your eyes and feel my arms around you with my sweetest hug ever. I will be thinking of you. Start

You guys are the BEST.

Startover... I placed a child for asdoption 15 years ago, and her birthday is tomorrow. Now my husband and I are having no luck for a child, after 5 years. We haven't done fertility treatments at all, because the price is soooooo steep, and not covered by insurance. It's hard to justify a few thousand dollars to find out if you CAN get pregnant or not, you know?

Plus I've gained so much weight from quitting smoking, that it LOOKS like I'm pregnant. I'm going to SLUG the next nice woman that asks "And when are YOU due, dear?"

Just a frustrating and sad day for me.

How I could get through without you is beyond me, though. Thanks. You have no idea how much it means.

Synnen, you are the strongest ever. I have more respect for you than I did just 5 minutes ago. About the weight, I am waiting myself to see what happens, I am going to take a kick boxing class, maybe that will help me get my grove on. I am pretty sure you got a grove too, you just got to find it. Listen here, you quit smoking! You did it Synenn. Keep your chin up and take on this crazy world. I wish you the best baby making in the world. Like Allheart says, it will come, you just never know WHEN! It would drive anyone crazy to play the waiting game. Hugs to you. Start

Um - hope no one minds, but this dancing fireman is just for our Synnen, but I am sure she will share :)

YouTube - The Firefighter Dance

Love fire fiighters!

What should you do when you are dying?

Go to the cupboard and eat the roll of LifeSavers.

Ugh... I have to go home to watch that...

But Firefighters + Dancing MUST = yum, right?

seriously... thanks for holding my hand through today. I am so close to just losing it, and you are keeping me this side of sanity.

I know I have been lost in limbo land for the past few days, but I have spent the last hour or so catching up...

Synnen - I wish so much that I could help you. But I agree with Allheart that there is always a reason. I am thinking of you and blowing some baby dust your way... I wish there were better words to soothe you.

Oh syn my sweet you stay strong and you remember that you are better than all of them I promise you from the depths of my heart if I ever win the lottery your first in line for help.

Hey you stranger... good to see you today!

Allheart, have you ever seen those signs made of wood that look real old and distressed? Well, I am going to make one to put on the front porch saying, "don't look down on someone, unless you are helping them up" I will get it done this weekend. I love it. I need to follow that advice as do so many people.

This little quitters corner has got me doing things that I thought would have to wait. I am calling the hospital to volunteer once a month in the ICU for those little babies that need holding. Just to let you know I have written a list of things that mean something to me and I am going to check it off one by one. I am very proud of myself and thankful to you guys for feeling that way. Hugs, Start

Oh start millie was one of those little baby's she was 8 weeks early they never had enough help there it was kind of sad.

I can hold babies till I die, whether they are screaming, whimpering, or just laying there in my arms. I LOVE BABIES. If I could I would adopt them all. Well there is another story for another day. I wish I could have held her for you.

You know... I feel bad for nattering on about myself like this... look at me whine, for pity's sake!

I have a good life, and for the most part I'm so very happy.

This is just the worst week of the year, you know?

Good for you Synnen, I thought I was having a bad day until I talked to you, then I felt just the way you are feeling right now. You are a good woman. You want to meet in the middle and have lunch?

Syn you can moan all you like my sweet that's what friends are for be sure if it annoyed us we would be telling you to shut up but you aren't because we love you.

Start she was tiny she was only 2lbs 9oz when born very weeny and after 8 weeks of being in that hospital it was enough for any saint.

Synn - we completely understand and love you.

Now help me find my puppy!

http://www.yunasville.com/img/022006/lost20puppy.jpg

Oh my goodness someone shoot me but how the hell did you get a picture of my neighbour lol

Hahahahahahahahaha I don't want to find it.

To right take that puppy outa there who knows what will follow...

Will I ever be able to give up pasta?

Laura - you crack me up!! Your neighbor.

Start, help that poor little puppy out.

Somebody actually sent that to me on email. Too funny :)

Love you guys. Synn - the sun will shine again and do not beat yourself up for having a down day. Ya hear!

Love you all.
