Yes! All of the tornadoes and hurricanes... stay clear and safe. I think Gustav is going to bypass Florida though, so Chicky should be relatively safe from that one! Hopefully everyone else stays safe. I wonder how RP is doing. She's in the line of fire where she is.

Hey you... I am here off and on... internet and cable are flickering here and there. I think things are going to miss us, I hope anyway, lol. They think just lots of rain and flooding here... so I guess I get my own pool for a while :eek: :D .

Alty... the cookies were baking over here! I just finished four dozen p-butter cookies... nerves make me cook and bake.

Hi R, I hope that is does miss you hon. Good luck, let us know please.

[rpg219]

[startover22]

Night babe... Sunshine, thanks for keeping us posted. You are the best!

[rpg219]

Night you... no Starty, you are the bestest :D ;)

EDIT::: Let me perfect the recipe Alty, then I'll share, lol... hubby and the child loved them, but I think they need some tinkering. I'll get updates to you one way or another ;)

Did I hear cookies? Cookies? Darnit, now I want cookies.

RPG, stay safe, keep us updated so we don't worry. Oh, and send some of those cookies here, k? ;)

Hi you Alty...

Hi Starty pants, and all my other pals.

So, I got the school shopping done, whew. Also, huge surprise, hubby's sister stopped by with gifts for the kids birthdays. I didn't expect her to this year, since Wiggy's and her mom died 1 1/2 years ago, she's been avoiding us like the plague. Long story, won't get in to it. But, Sydney got a $75 gift card from Please Mum and Jared got a $75 gift card from the Gap. So, we went to Please mum and bought some clothes for both of them, and then tomorrow to the Gap for more. Couldn't have come at a better time. :)

Aww, how sweet... I understand how it is Alty, anyone with kids knows this is a hard time of year!
Thank goodness for the love of Nana and Dada! I don't know where I would be right now if it weren't for them!

[ISneezeFunny]

... so wait... you're saying you BOUGHT your kids clothes??

... what happened to giving them thread/needle and letting them make it?

Kids nowadays have it so good...

[startover22]

Ohh you are so right
That's it, I am taking them all back... my son got a pair of 90 dollar shoes grom grandma and nana, and his little thin jacket cost almost 50 bucks... what the hell, I don't even spend that on three or four outfits

[ISneezeFunny]

Tell me about it.

I really like old navy... cheap and gets the job done. My mom, however, does not allow this. She'll make me return my clothes... take me to a brand name store (armani x, banana, etc.)... then make me buy things there. I wouldn't mind... if SHE bought it. :(

My brother's a HUGEEEE fan of abercrombie and hollister. Darn that kid.

[startover22]

My kids toooooo
BUT, they do work to pay for half of really expensive things;)

[Stringer]
