Just popping in to help you preggos with your leg cramps!!

It's NOT a lack of potassium that tends to cause leg cramps in pregnancy, it's actually too much calcium!!

Cut back on your dairy and the cramps should subside.

Now, back to taking an online test. LOL

Wow... flyby diagnosis... the wave of the future... lol. Thanks J!

LOL, it was a question on the test I am taking and I got it wrong cause I answered Potassium. LOL

So, I wonder if the potassium balances the calcium- why are we always told to take in potassium? Hmm...

My Da just called and told me my poor mom had to go and put down my old cat cinnamon... sweet thing, she's over 17 years old, but still its hard. Broke my heart...

Just have to share this lol its so cool I'm so adicted...

336/600 second round. I suck. That's OK sweet, I will keep practicing! LOL

You do keep practising that's the problem I'm on level 15 lol its far to adictive

LMAO... I got to go clean the yard you silly. Good luck to 16... hugs

Lol you will go back to it trust me ;)

Oh you know I will, I am just waiting till the kids get the movie finished so I can go clean... school starts and then we will be moving. Daycare starts up n Monday then it will all break loose. I hope it all works out, I just need to sueeze in the move in time. Weekend I guess. Well, off with me it is over and we are all going out to work. Hugs, Start

Oh she was an old cat though, she had a good long spoiled happy life that's for sure :) Ive been stuffing my face with the free Chicken sandwhiches Chick-fil-A just delivered to our office... we were the business of the week apparently. 70 sandwiches!

LOL we just had chicken and chips :D

Sounds really good... I just had a bowl of cereal, it's still morning over here

Lol... your eating breakfast, Im eating lunch, and I'm sure CBW was talking about dinner there... lol... we are a hodgepodge.

To be truthful, I wanted waffles, so I was sort of heartbroken that someone didn't leggo my eggo...

Giggle. I had Eggo cinnamon toast waffles for breakfast

Damn, I seriously don't remember my waffles leaving me, but apparently they are gone, and I hunted my whole house over, I found pancakes but that just isn't the same

Tee hee wizz ill make you waffles come on over ;) you will have to share with millie and ben though.

Do you live alone or with food snatchers? :D

... food snatchers... but I thought I would have remembered someone making waffles

Damn the food snatchers... I used to live with a whole lot of them in a tiny apartment...

LOL food snatchers that sounds like something you would see on disney channel...

Sniff Sniff Sniff you smell like... waffles have you just had breakfast... go on Al you know who that is...

Giggle... did you do the whole head shake... its not the same unless you do that... lol.

Actually food pirates sounds better... argg!

MMMMM you mean while wiggling my arse and belly lol

You guys are making me hungry... what to have... hmmmm

I like food pirates as well... and nothing is as sad when your looking forward to a certain meal and you find they stole your booty...

Ha you cleaned that yard start??

Hehe you just said 'booty'... heehee

Yes yard is done and the pool is filling, so hot here!
Argg, sanwhich for me. Booty? I think is a wonderful word. The kids get to say that instead of butt. I normally say buns, but booty is good too! LOL

LOL at least it isn't ad fluffy as that big ol bear lol

Booty is a great word, and every one should try to fit into their daily conversations

LOL. Im from Louisville, Pirate-ology is the whole world here... lol. "you aint native if you aint a pirate."

CBW - giggle... im singing the goodnight song now... lol.

Ah I have a different goodnight song going round my head from bbc lol

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d637b3127cceb92afb3397bb00000035110AcNmrRmzZNm Ng

My baby two years ago... we start them young... Pirating is a way of life here... lol.

Bless his heart he is a hansom little monkey hehehehe

Wish I never cut off his hair, it was lovely... can't believe that was two years ago. Wow. He turns four in 6 days. :eek:

I always thought he was younger for some reason... Why don't I pay attention in class. He is so handsome. Maxy is our youngest and I went to a wedding in Seattle, Dustin cut his hair (with my permission) while I was gone... He cut all his golden locks, curly and blonde. Now when his hair is grown he has a golden halo it is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Hold on to them while they are small I say. He instantly turned into a big boy after the cut!

Mine did too... he aged at least a year when I did that. :(

Oh why can't it be 5 yet.. Im ready for my long weekend.

I hope you have a really nice long weekend. Soon it will be so don't rush it!

Lol isn't it the truth... we wish it would come and then all of a sudden its gone.. lol.

Our weekends already half gone, it ends on Saturday...

I know... I have a long but PACKING weekend ahead. Dustin and the two big kids are going to the Duck game so I will have the smaller two and get boxes and pack a bit... I just know if I start packing I will get it all done and want to move in right away. We won't be paying until the 1st though, so I need to just settle down. Hugs Al, get lot's of rest and relaxation in.

Where are you firm?

Not likely. I have close to 40 people coming to my home in a week, Ill be cleaning like a fool, and having Thomas get the basement in order...

Way way way far away, she should be sleeping right now but she is addicted to AMHD and msn messenger! LOL

EDIT::::::::::::
Why so many, did I miss something?

In a muslim country and Friday is our Day... and Saturday just winds down our weekend and Sunday we start work...

EDIT:::::;Yah Start I should be but I am addicted and there's no denying it... ;)

COnnor's birthday party... I have a large family... we are like the big fat greek family... but we aren't greek, just catholic. :D

FB- wow I knew you were muslim, but didn't know you lived so far. Well have a good end to your weekend. And get some sleep! :)

LOL to both of you. You are going to have a blast.
Firm, there is no denying it for sure. I am too, just like the rest of us

Hehehehehe 3 women gossiping giggle I'm watching the end finalle to our big brother I'm so glad its over it was cack this year

I never got into big brother...

I have watched the last 9 years but this year for some reason just annoyed the poop outa me lol

Me either... HEROS is my show the only one beside American Idol. Kind of a family thing anyway, we watch laugh and sing together

Didn't think much of heroes either that was just flipping odd lol

I like Heroes, and I like Lost, I really love the 4400... but most of the time if I'm on TV, I'm watching sex and the city reruns.. lol.

Ah now lost is a different legue to any TV programme I've ever seen roll on the new season.

You all sure have been chatty today.

Ohhh... my EAR!

Boo hoo... it hurts, oh the pain, I can't hear...

I need a nap.

Your ear?? Are you poorly?? Or have you been on the phone ll day lol

Remember my fever I had last week, and that cold? Well, it went to my ear. I am still congested and coughing like craaaaazy!!

I think I need another 6 months of chemo so I don't get poorly for another 10 years.

Aaaawwww bummer would you like some of millie nanna nice nice meds lol

Uh oh... are we passing things around to each other or something?

Giggle well j started it with the cold ;)

Im off to eat chocolate xxxxx have good weekends girls xxxxx

Chocolate? MMMMMM CBW you sure have a nice way of coming in and out with the teases! I had the cold the last couple days of our trip, I controlled it with Advil cold and sinus and a little nyquill. I am afraid to say I may get an ear infection, so I will be ignoring that part until I can't ignore the pain any longer. It usually goes away so we will see.
I hope all the kids stay well for the first week of school.

I have to eat chocolate at night or I have to share it with the other two and I'm not to keen on doing that giggle

OMGosh, you are so silly CBW... Meanie!
It looks as though my cold has rushed to my back, for some reason it has decided to take over my whole body. Great, I will still be doing house work I am fighting back I tell you!!

I just feel as rough as a dogs tongue today I'm so fed up with coughing and I'm not sure baby likes it that much either lol.

I understand completely. You will get better, all this bad health will pass. I am sorry sweet. I feel like I broke a dang rib when I move it hurts Ohhh, my rib. LOL I am still going to get my stuff done and then tonight I will be a Lazy Lou!

Gosh go flipping careful hunn broken ribs really hurt :(

I don't know what the heck it is but there is something bulging from under my shoulder blade. Ouch! Anyway, I will be carefule, if you promise to rest!

Rest what's that?? I have actually been a utter lazy person today and throroughly needed it too tomorrow though its sorting out the dinning room and the back bedroom as we have bens parents coming to stay next weekend :D

Oh wow, are they easy to get along with? Dustins parents are good, we don't argue or fight at least! They have always been big helpers!

Oh I love his parents more than mine there wonderful people :D

That is so great, in a way... I am the same way but wish I could share that same love with my parents. Make sense? Anyway, then I hope you have a great visit. Just got lot's done and I am happy. Rest time is soon... for me...

Ive only got my mum left and to be honest she is way to wrapped up in my sister and her kids to even notice us so I'm not all that bothered.

I understand... I am glad in a way that mine don't come around, they are not the most pleasant anyway. Too much time and money in their pocket and they forget that people are still living with family and issues. Weird to think of but I am still happy not to have them come here all the time. Hugs to you, I am off for a bit. Just a few things to clean up and I am done!

How you feeling?? Have you fought off the nasty bugs??

No, still here but going away, my shoulderblade is killing me, but I still have to mop and clean the bathroom, then I am a FREE BIRD!

Dustin needs to give you a rub down you work harder than anyone I know

Floors done, bathroom, I am on my way. Naw, I just keep myself busy and what better way with the chores... I love the work, beats a job in the big world, at least right now that is how I feel. If I would let him, he always seems to either tickle me or pinch my skin off! LOL There is no in between with him. HAHAHAHA I have to tell him I said that, maybe that will get him to get it right...
You feeling any better? You need me to clean the floors for you?

Super homemakers in,Ladies make your bookings with Start...

Hell yeah come on over and vacume giggle, I'm feeling like I've been run over by a bus tee hee just ate a few chunks of dairy milk drank more juice and I'm thinking about going to bed.
You and Dustin need to go on a weekend of pampering together and learn massage it's a fabulas way to unwind and it means so much more when the one you love is doing it.

super homemakers in,Ladies make your bookings with Start...

FB just the women why have you never written an introduction??

What introduction?

CBW, I never did either. I found out about it way too late. It is no use now so many know me too wel, I wouldn't know what to write anyway. I liked yours though, especially that smartie pants part about you being Curlybens wife. HEehee You better feel better soon or I am liable to get a dang plane ticket. Massage, yes a good course to take, hmmmm but when?

MMMMMMMM way to many people seem to just jump right in and not do an intro it's a shame a real shame.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/introductions/late-intro-116521.html

Maybe you didn't notice mine... ;)

I never knew about it till a month agoo well maybe two... It is a shame... I think I will think about it. LOL I will get to it. Sheesh, probably good anyway, I would have put stupid crap in there at the beginning of my AMHD life... it may be different now

Now you will have only wise words Start!

You are a senior... literally
Here at AMHD;)

Senior giggle giggle snigger snigger

I just had to tell you Start,
The other day my daughter was watching "Madagascar" and the Hippo is always the sensible one and one of the conversation made me think of you.
The Hippo is you... the character fits so well... Taking charge and making sense when all else seems to be bumbling idiots...

senior giggle giggle snigger snigger
Hahaha, I worked my way up through the branches of the best tree I have ever climbed.
Ah, the Hippo, yes, it fits...

Yeah and think back where it started the quitters corner...

Yup, loved every minute, boy I hardley ever worked around here back then, how about that. I was very addicted then, now I am here for the friends and occasional help I need or can give. I am so glad I found this place! And you all. I am sappy, huh?

I love sappy...

Hee hee. I am getting ready to meet my newest child for daycare, just from 12 to 2 pretty easy and she will be in kindergarten with Jett, how cute will that be...

Giggle It was a bit crazy wasn't it ;)

:p Yes it was and I really miss it.

I wish I was around when things were crazy here at AMHD...
Even now it is fun,but I can imagine then

It wasn't too long ago actually, can you believe I have only been here for almost 5 months. Whoopeeeeee! What a great time and the things I have learned and the memories I have remembered and the memories we get to make...

Ah I don't its just another chapter of our book all good things come to an end sooner or later Now I'm just looking forward to keeping this baby in past 36 weeks and maybe pushing it out I haven't really decided lol

Oh my god I have to show you this I soooooo want a black one for my kitchen lol

The Ex Voodoo Knife Block (http://www.firebox.com/product/1109?src_t=sbk&src_id=knife&aff=512)

She makes amazing wooden toys so the grandkids always get pretty amazing pressents lol

How are all of you? It is sooo hot here. Thank goodness we have air. I am making the kids come in all the time to get drinks of water. I am not going out there. LOL have a good Monday to those who are enjoying the holiday and to those who don't have it off, I am sorry, get some coffee and get to workie poo! Hugs, Start

I went to the in-laws for the weekend, and all we did, really, was sleep.

Still sick-ish... summer colds suck.

Glad to hear Millie is better, though!

2 ours time we will know our fate regarding care for the rest of the pregnancy and weather baby is still growing to scale I'm flipping pooping myself now :(

CBW, think good things as all of us here will too. Good morning sweet, I can't wait to hear back.

I was really excited this morning now I'm scared wittless :( stupid hormones.

Yes, they can make you feel like you don't want to. Nerves too! It is OK to be scared, you have gone through a lot, with your body and Millies! (hope she and you are over that stupid cold) Try not to let it take you away, stay with good thoughts... sorry you are down. :)

Ill be OK just want it over and done with lol

Yes, I would too. A few more days and Millie gets to see Mimm and pappy? Sounds so cute she calls them that. My kids call Dustins parents Nana and dada... funny how all of them followed Gradys names for them. You will do fine CBW I know it has to take a toll.

It is quite cute she says pappy and it sounds like happy its very sweet, right I need to go get bits ready for madam and then hopefully we will be off catch you later xxxxxxx

Ok, good luck sweet...

Where you find all the adults who are just kids at heart digging up worms and slinging mud pies !!!

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/theenchantress/doorrothesecretgarden.jpg

Come on in leave the gate a jar we lost the key some time ago :rolleyes:
what do you mean by kids?

kids = baby goats

:o
language people...


I <3 secret garden and faraway tree too! And raggedy ann
the way she could always find pie trees and soda fountains and everything else... special times...

I'm here CBW, you know I wouldn't desert you. But you know it is my busy time with school and all. Got to study, LOL

I am anxiously waiting to find out if I am having another niece, or if I'll finally have a nephew. Out of 10 kids I only have one nephew. I hope you are cooking a boy.

Glad to hear madam is feeling better. I just wish I was.

You still got it J? I do too but it is only lingering... I can take it, I can take it! LOL
How exciting for you... being an auntie is one of my faves!

Yes, Start I still got it and see no signs of it going away anytime soon. It started all in my chest but has migrated to my head now too. I can't hear out of my right ear.

Yes, CBW's little new addition will make me an auntie for the 11th time now.

Haha, I should have read between the lines... I sure hope it goes well for her and the baby, and Ben and Millie, oh, the kitty too! LOL
I am ignoring my earache, it has gotten better in the past couple days. I have a weird thing about going to the doctor for my ear, I have have a few mastoidectomies and it really wasn't done right, I am in a costant state of tenderness. Doctors are surprised to see the reconstruction in there and out, I have a huge ear hole instead of normal size. Yuck.

Keep us posted, Laura.

You know you're in our thoughts.

J--you're crazy, you know that? I love you to death, but you're insane with that schedule!

I've still got the last little bit of my cold... hopefully a nap this afternoon will get rid of the last of it!

Synn, you calling me insane? Well, you're right. That wasn't even HALF of the schedule. I didn't add Rae's away games she has to cheer at... Didn't add my test dates (two weeks apart and 25 chapters per test).

I just got my clinical schedule (days working in the hospital) and I thought I would need to check into the local mental health hospital.

Well, "related" to me would HAVE to mean insane, especially since you're related by CHOICE!

But damn... you're going to kill yourself this semester. Try not to, okay? I would miss you too much!

Hey Synn, have you heard anythiing from the "agency"?

Supposedly this semester is a very easy semester. It's next semester I have to worry about. LOL

I have several clinical days in the hospital from 3-11, then an hour drive home. Heck, I'm rarely ever awake past 9, unless I am online with you sharing tunes, LOL.

J, is that 3 in the am or pm?

Uh oh... no falling asleep at the hospital!

Haven't heard yet from the agency, actually, though I did hear that my references have been called.

Was going to use you, J_9, but I don't have your address :P I actually did list this board as volunteer work, though!

I didn't know you could do that Synn, what a great idea.

The schedule is 3pm-11pm Start.

Synn, you don't have my addy? I'll send it to you later on email.

Well, off for another nap. Got to get some rest as hubby invited 15 people over for a cook out today. I didn't know about this until 5:00 yesterday. Got to get some rest... gotta get some rest... zzzzzzzz

Crazy lady! I hope your hubby is doing the work for this party!

Get some rest, I'm going to run off and get some housework done!

Love you all!

BORING!! You girls, goll! I am very chatty this morning... CBW would chat if she was here... Housework, naps... what? LOL

Im back...

Welllllll..

Hehehhehehehehe might tell might not giggle on the health side all is well so far ill see the consultant at 28 weeks but other wise he is happy happy.

Woo hoo, good for you sweet heart. I am so glad to hear that.

Certainly relieved for now

So tell!!

Tell what??

Am I having another niece or do I finally get a nephew?

Didn't CBW say he is happy happy?

That's what I am wondering myself. Or was it the doc that was happy... Oh, I'm going nutso!!

LOl the consultant was happy and he is definitely a he ;)

I get a nephew!! I am SOOOO excited for you love!!

Congrats! A boy... are you going to name him Start? LOL

Nah, she's naming him Jay, LOL

Hee hee, that is a nice name. I hope you feel better now CBW, I am so happy for you!

LOL on the name you couldn't be further from the trueth on that one

I know, you told me the name already before you knew. I was just hoping... LOL

What will it be sweet?

Theodore edward and no it won't be teddy for short lol it will be theo.

Love it!! Good mans name. I am surely happy for you. And Theo!

Hehehehehe thank you xx

You are welcome. Pretty slow today, guess I better head for chores too...

Im so going tobed early tonight it feels like its been a VERY long day.

Yes, it already feels like I have been up for half the day and only a few hours have gone by... LOL

Oooh! Im excited! I like the name theo... reminds me of little einsteins... but now that I'm thinking of it, I think his name is cleo... lol... still, COngrats! Im jealous, you get one of each;)

Did I miss that you knew what you were having Al? I hope not... dang

Al knows yep it was way way back she posted scan pics too her has boy bits too lol

Duh, yes I remember... a boy with the little weenie circled. What is up with me lately, I can't remember anything except where I hung my purse. I swear I belong in the looney bin... no pun intended J!!

LOL not pregnant are you

Yup, I lost my mind and wham! - Bun... Oven

I better take the test... LOL I am a gonner.

What Start? THE test?

You pregnant too?

NOOOOO, just a wise crack about losing my mind, somewhere...

I lost my mind somewhere in the post about the 19 year old girl with genital warts who wants to bathe with her 7 year old step-brother!!

PUKE!!

What... ok, that is gross. She is asking why she can't or if she can? Either way I will check that out... Wow!

It just sickens me to the core to know that she even questioned whether it was okay.

Yes, I just read through... very bad... I hope it was a troll but I am with you, I think she really needed to know the answer.
Well, she got more than one, didn't she?

Al the little boy in little einstiens is called leo hehehehehe

Lol... lol I knew it was along those lines... that's Connor's fave show.

Nothing better than waking up in the morning sitting in front of the compy eating my blueberry muffin bites and reading about genital warts and incestual bathing habits... :eek:

LOL I know what you mean hehehhehehehe great isn't it I'm just kind of fed up of this place at the moment its full of oddballs lol

Hey now watch who you're calling an oddball... ;)

Tee hee no comment ill incriminate mylself lol you get up and I'm off for a nap xx

Good, you deserve a nap, hope you enjoy! :)

Good morning girls! Hope your day is great!

Morning start... you are up early today.

Oh yes, new times the kids are coming earlier but leaving earlier. It will be really nice once I get used to it. LOL...
You doing good?

Fine, better after the long weekend. Trying to get a lot done in a few days though.

I understand... I guess I should start packing huh? We should be out of here by the first, I am heading for two more weeks and be done with it. If I am going to then I am going to, I don't want to have boxes sitting around here.
What are you working on?

Lovely nap I'm off to prep dinner xxxx

Connor's birthday party is on Saturday. I have been claning and scrubbing like no other. Doesn't help that I have two boys following behind me :)... and would be a lot nicer if the big one stopped inviting people like his parents and his brothers friedns to my home to slow me down. So he gets the full brunt of my hormones this week :P

Sounds like you will be more busy than me. I would be crazy by now with less than a month to go. I hate moving.

It is so weird to hear you say pre dinner, it is only 7:49 and I am in the mood for coffee and creamer. LOL
What are you going to make tonight sweet? Anything pasta-ish? That is what I am in the mood for... Sketty last night, it was good but I want more! LOL

Yum spaghetti. I have a craving for something deep fried and covered in cheese... LOL. Horribly unhealthy I know.

MIL is bringing lasagna tomorrow. My husband was craving it, an I am (apparantly) no good at making it, so he called his momma and convinced her to bring some to him... I was so angry, I don't want people in my home right now... esp inlaws.

You, I think I am getting the in-law vibe from you. I feel the same way. Although if they were to bring lasagna, it may just change everything!
Dustin does the thing where everyone is invited, but you only have what you need for a few guests... then we hurry to the store and then all he## breaks loose.

Its more hormones than anything, they are nice people and I can usually tolerate them, but not while Im trying to clean a house for 40 people. They called our house about 50 times this weekend, and Im just overly irritated right now... not to mention tomorrow is Connor's actual birthday, so he will be crazy. I really wanted to ask him to call her back and say no, but he will just get angry, and I don't want to deal with that either. :)

Im too obsessive compulsive to run to the store at last minute... lol

Ya, I can see that in you. Plan plan plan! How about Dustin asking everyone to stay the night cause he just doesn't want the fun to stop. LOL ohhhh, he is going to get it, just by me thinking about it makes me mad! LOL You will be done with this soon. Enjoy the party and everything that comes along with it!

I think your hubby is my hubby's twin... lol... I am always on him about asking me before asking people over... lol. Men.

There dinners in the oven just need to finish the dishes and I'm ready to rock and roll, Al I have been craving spaghetti too lol we had it Saturday and I saved sauce so I could have more yesterday lol

Yum. I want spaghetti shop spaghetti with their special garlic bread... mmmm.

Yummmmmmm I just crave my tomatoe sauce its just so lovely and it has to be long spahetti not shaped pasta lol

Im not a big fan of shaped pasta either..

Me either, linguini is my fave... alfredo too!

Im eating veggie soup and tuna right now... yum!

Well the chicken casorole and dumplings will be ready soon I'm rather hungry :D

Caserole? Oh you really know how to get to me don't you...
I like tuna samiches and soup to but caserole, sheesh, I am craving it now.

Mmm dumplings.

That's what I'm talking about... why do we always go back to food? LOL

LOL is rather good I have to say :D even millies tucking in

Nice CBW... we all enjoyed being together last night... the kids swimming, eating sketty (not at the same time mind you) but it sure was nice!

That to me is the main part of being a family all sitting down and eating together.

I thin spaghetti and swimming sounds so interesting. Isn't that in Patch Adams... a whole pool of spaghetti.. lol.

My favorite, we do it often, BUT since football is on now, Dustin will be excluded and miss out. Not mad at all, he will just miss some things that I won't... He he Like the big belches and farts... Oh wait that is usually him. I crack myself up.

That to me is the main part of being a family all sitting down and eating together.

Me too, me too... its the one thing I am steadfast about.

me too, me too...its the one thing I am steadfast about.

It's just something that I feel is really important it's a great time for the children to have a influence of both parents and be able to all talk together.

We are all so busy, it's a good time to slow down and really see each other. Connor loves setting the table and we each have our seats.

So many good things happen around the table. That is for sure!

Its actually a big part of jo frosts routine for family life it creates structure and gives the child a time to talk and learn from there parents with no other interuptions like the TV.

Yes, I know, now it will be football in the back ground... no way ever getting around that. Making it together is part of Dustins deal, he gets his time and then we eat. MMMMMM good!

That's where I would put my foot down eating doesn't take that long, thank goodness ben does do sport of any kind or there would be ruptions here lol

Yes, I'm thankful of that too. Thomas has never been into sports, unless UK vs UL or something, and even then not during dinner... we have DVR. LOL

Football is on at dinner time. It is his one love that I refuse to take away. He does so much for me and the kids, if this is the one thing he wants, then so be it! It isn't about putting your foot down, it is about giving that to him... it isn't EVERY night. Thank goodness. LOL

Well no one is saying we don't give and take but it's a rule I stick by its how I was brought up and its how my kids will be brought up for the sake of half an hour out of our lives spending it with the people you live for and only them is pretty special in my book.

I agree. We do it a lot. I am not too worried about 2 or 3 nights. And most of the time he is right there with us, just over the "counter' so to speak... Good for you sweet, keep it up!

My sister does the same as you, Start, Its nice we all have such different family traditions... you seem to take vacations a lot, I wish we did that more.

We just go camping, the vacation comes every August. Camping is our thing, we all love it so it really is perfect! Go Hawks, I had to say that for Dustin... I know it would please him!

We don't ever go anywhere... maybe the lake on occasion, its just too much of an expense I guess... but I'm starting to think we work to hard not to, Im hoping to hit disney this time next year, Have Connor wake up there for his birthday...

THAT would be very cool... good idea.

I thought so. We'll see if it actually pans out. Lol. Damn I want chicken and dumplings now... leftovers CBW?

Me too... We celebrated Jett's 6th b-day while we were at Long Beach, he got a motor cycle. Really cool...

There are motor cycles for 6 year olds?? Where have I been?

Walmart, 14 miles an hour, we have an acre, he wears his helmet and has other experience with motorcycles. It is powered by a battery, he recharges it and there we gooooo! Very cool, I must say I was a bit weary about the idea till I saw him get on it and go.

So its like a pumped up powerwheel, but not as pumped up as a 4 wheeler... nice.

Yes, very cool... I tried to show a picture but the upload failed... I will work on that later:D

No left overs I'm afraid all gone I'm sat drinking fanta and eating chocolate now lol

Fanta oragne soda? aside from purple, orange is one of my many favorite colors so I love that soda...

Oh don't I'm craving orange full stop orange anything gimme gimme lol but fanta does the trick when nothing else is here lol

LMAO, CBW, I won't go there for your sake. He he
I will however tell you that I am frustrated with my photos. Just a rant, I will work it out!

Isn't all that caffeine and fizzy bad for baby dear CBW?:)

What are you trying to do start??

NOOOOO... just a bit right CBW
I was going to post a pic of the new cycle, but it is way too big I think, I guess I need to go to the original file and make them smaller, I just haven't got a clue how.

Isnt all that caffeine and fizzy bad for baby dear CBW?:)

Im fully aware of that hense why I only have 1 can a day and then I don't always have it.

Ok, how about my pics, you can drink your stuff and tell me how... LOL

Just asking, anytime I am reading this thread I seem to find chocolate on it.. ;)

Well fb don't expect me to share lol its MINE all MINE lol

Start where are you trying to upload them??

I am working on it right now. BRB

But CBW you got to share chocolate with me because I'm your poppet hehehehehe xx

Yeah well its give and take on that one if you're a guest in my home as you often are then I have to share with you lol

Arggh mateys!! Technically you can safely have up to 300 mg of caffeine while pregnant... I try to stay around 200, but Im sure CBW is quite safe.
