Mommies Rock Share Café

Donna: You sound like what I hope to be when Elim is older! He's gotta go play with stuff other than electronics before he gets em! Aww, I wouldn't give up till you get notice otherwise, some cats show up after years though hoping he shows up soon for you and the kids.

We made it! Elim did ok on the first flight, got a little fussy but nothing too bad. He was exhausted and fell asleep five minutes before boarding for the second flight and woke up 30 minutes before we went in for landing! We kept him occupied with food. He's such a little ham over here. Going to my friend's house tomorrow, I can't wait to see her again! Staying at her mom's house tonight.

Hopefully Shannon and I can get together on Sunday, fingers crossed my friend is up for an adventure!

I am proud to announce that after 3 days of a missing remote----WE FOUND IT!!!!!

It was in the CEREAL BOX!!!!! Apparently, it was laying on the arm of the couch and slid into the box and we never noticed it.

Needless to say, Ansley and I got a huge laugh out of where we found it!!!

lol

It. Is. So. Hot.

Donna, hope you find your critter soon!
Tracy, cereal box? Ha!
Lauren, Nap away, my friend.
Stacy, safe travels!

It's so hot, I feel like crap. T and I have been outside all day, gardening, sidewalk chalking, playing on her jungle gym and sand box. She is sleeping, now. I am sitting on top of the AC vent because it is so hot. 90ish. I broke a nail down so far today, my heart beat is pulsating in my finger tip. Booo.

bbl...

I only know 3 of those 6.....I need to keep up on blogs! Eeesh!

Tracy - totally giggling at the remote in the cereal box. Hilarious. Glad you found it!!!

Liz - Sending cooling vibes your way.

Stacy - Happy to hear travels were safe. Yeah - I'm pretty strict when it comes to the electronic stuff. Two of the three are pretty good about getting outside. Ethan will flat out say "I'm not much of an outdoors kid Mom."

Lauren - Miss you!!

Last regular-season baseball game for Ryley today. They won 10-0. Yay!!! Now we have city tournament. Wine night out with a few other moms from school tonight. So need this. Michael has been working a ton and gone so much lately.

Geri - I've got 4 of 6! Hmm, Santa's Village though. Got to go back and read.

Liz - You've probably got the humidity there. Hope you're staying cool. I'm really sorry to hear about your hubby's job. I hope there is something coming around the corner. I know that's super stressful. Sorry to hear about your nail/finger. Ouch!

Lauren - When do you get results from the 3-hour one? You being seen weekly?

Stacy - Gald to know that your travels are safe and sounds like you're off again. Happy visits!

Donna - Sorry to hear about your kitty. Does your houe back up to a canyon? Congrats on game victory!!! Yum, wine night:)

Jackie - Hope your final days of school go well for your kiddos. I feel the same way sometimes about the whole self-entertaining. I'm much better at video games as an adult than ever before:)

Tracy - In the cereal box?! I bet you had a laugh! I tend to panic when I can't find my remote. Trying to get into a habit of leaving it in the same spot.

Friday was the last day of school for staff. Usually hubby and I are tag teaming it with the kids to get check out signatures, etc. This time, all was done and handled. Had a friend and her son over for a li'l BBQ action and pool time. It was nice. Got my words out. Hubby loves that! I hadn't checked school e-mail in a few days. Hadn't planned on it since I'm getting riffed. Well, Principal says she might have a section or two afterall. Hmm, interesting . . . maybe I don't have to apply for that library assistant job afterall:) We'll see . . . isn't it always that way?!

Liz- Stay cool momma!

Geri- I read 'em... but they don't always stick...

Donna- Wine night... love it!

Lindsay- Oooh I hope a position comes through! Yeah we've been weekly since 22 weeks I think.. I'll get the results on Wednesday.

I'm staring at an enormous rainbow from our lanai. It's beautiful.

Fun weekend so far, we went to the drag races on Friday... Micah loves seeing the race cars and running a muck with other kiddos there and yesterday saw MIB3- very cute, just like the other 2. Not sure what's on the agenda today past my coffee.

Yes, the cereal box!!!

Donna~ Yay for R's game going well!!! That's a huge win!!

Hot is a great word for the south these days too. Today the winds from the tropical storm is giving us some relief, but yesterday was a scorcher!! We had a birthday party and an outdoor reception to attend.....

Liz~ Boo on the finger issue. I think I mentioned it, but I kicked one of my students' chair the last week of school, and he was sitting in it. Yeah....one of my bigger kids and the chair didn't move in the slightest. My toenail sure did though and I really wanted to just cry. It was pretty easy to count the beats per minute that day too.

Lauren~ I wish I was enjoying that lanai and rainbow too!!

Ha ha ha, Tracy - the cereal box made me laugh! That's all I can remember. It's been a long day but my parents have the kids for the night so I get to sleep in tomorrow!!

Tracy: HAHA! A cereal box?! I never would have looked in there for a remote!

Lauren: Aww!! I <3 rainbows, miss seeing them as often as I used to!

Made it to my friend's house! She had a housewarming party yesterday and it was insanely hot in her house, it got up in the 80s in here! She finally turned the AC on after everyone left. Still too warm for my liking but at least not miserable. I'm exhausted, Elim's decided 6:53 is a good time to wake up as he's woken up at that exact time the past two days, which would be 5:53 my time. So I'm heading to bed early, we're taking it easy tomorrow then I think heading to Kitchen Kettle Village Tuesday I think.

hi ladies!

Happy memorial day!

It. Is. So. Hot.

Like sweating, throwing a tantrum on the ground, hot.

Why is Beyonce so hot? She just had a kid in January and she is a brick house, no fat, look at her legs for pete's sake!

bbl...

Stacy~ Really? She waited till everyone left to turn on the A/C?? You should've "accidentally" turned it on earlier!! I'm not a fan of heat when I can avoid it.

Liz~ Saw the previews of Beyonce's story, but didn't see the whole thing. Probably because she has nannies to help with the kiddo so that she can work out and pays someone to kick her butt back into shape. Least that's what I'm telling myself!

Ansley enjoyed the lake yesterday with her dad and some friends, and today she's moving slowly.....sunburn!! Yes, they didn't use sunscreen and reapplied, but it's windy here too b/c of the tropical storm down south and that didn't help. Thankfully it's just the shoulder area and nowhere else, but still.....

Anyone have great plans for today??

Our plans are not planned yet. I have a test due tomorrow, but not sure how I'm going to spend the day. Ansley is already begging to go somewhere (as always), but not sure if that's happening or if we're just hanging out at home today.

Stacy - Sorry about the friend's house being so warm. Urgh, maybe next time if it's still super warm you can bump into the thermostat on purpose and lower the temp:) What is Kitchen Kettle Village in your parts?

Liz - I know, it's HOT! It was unseasonably cool here for a little while yesterday (86 F).

Tracy - Sorry for sunburn on her li'l shoulders. Mr. T has blisters on his hands from the cool deck. Cool deck isn't so cool afterall! Got to make them use the stairs to get out and jump each time.

Still got to find Santa's Village. Slowly going through stacks of papers and throwing more junk out. It just accumulates somehow. I think it's going to be another day in the pool.

Liz- Where are ya on the globe again? Ugh on all the heat.

Lindsay- Ooooh pool day sounds fun!

Tracy- Ick, summer classes and tests? Hope you and Ansley have a fun day.

Stacy- Totally not understanding turning on the a/c when people leave!

Seems the winds have finally calmed down... I think we're gonna make a beach day of it... maybe even travel to the "far" beach... I know... we're so wild and crazy!

I am not even going to pretend that I can catch up. We just got back from a full weekend at Disney!

I am pretty sure that #4 on the blog quiz is "My Little Baby Guy"

We have 6 days of school left and I am so ready for it to be over!!!!!

Hello girls, busy week here, and this one seems like will be too.

Lauren: sorry you failed your one hour glucose test, I had to giggle when you said you had have all the odds in pregnancies.... In a way I did too........Wow you are already on the 30 weeks......congratulations!

Tracy: well finally you found that remote control... we lost once several years ago, and had to buy an universal one.... they do not work the same as the original remote, and I can't think were it could be lost.....I never looked in the cereal box......

Lindsay: you know that is my dream, to work in a huge library, and have spare time to read...... Gladly school ended for you.....

Donna: hooray for Ethan and his concert.....

oh blogs....

2) Samarella's journal
3) Tale's from Sch.... (sorry Donna I do not know how you spell your name)
5) My Angel Love

urgh I am here locked up studying with S for his Eng vocabulary test........ the funny side is he is so funny and we are playing "pictonary" so he can remember the words......

They called me back from the office, to offer me another position, I will start this Friday..... again litigating .....not my fun part, but it is a start..... And I so flattered, they still want me, that looked up for some cases I might like.....

My Interior Design course finished last Thursday, everything was fine, here some pics...... .... one beach pergola design(since the theme was "the chair" it had to be the focal point of the presentation)......

Katie: I am so jealous here! Disney!!!! That is S dream to live near Disney so he can go whenever he wants to........

It actually made sense to leave the AC off while everyone was here! Though she should've had it on before everyone showed up. She had all the windows and doors open because everyone was coming in and out anyway. The problem is that there's big trees around so it blocks most of the breeze. She has it set at 77 now.....it's so hot! But I've got a fan for our room for tonight!

Lindsay: I believe it's like a flea market of sorts but has little shops too with all handmade and Amish goods! I kinda feel like I should cover up in their presence, ya know? Lol, what they must think of us!

Lorena: Cool pictures of the rooms!

Ah, such relief. My landlord was going to raise our rent by 125 a month, I told him we couldn't do that and was stressing about having to move while Charles is gone. Thankfully he saw the light and figured out he was asking for time and a half what "the usual" rent increase is and is only raising it by 50 dollars a month if we'll sign a two year least. Yep, we sure will!

Heading to the aquarium tomorrow, it's going to be another hot one so we're going indoors, it's supposed to be nicer in a couple of days so we'll wait till then to go to the zoo and other stuff we'd be walking around for awhile outside.

Jackie I'm right there with ya dont feel bad. Cant wait for her to be home but I'm very sure after a few days she should be driving me crazy wanting to invite everyone she knows over, go in the pool....go get me this, do that.... Exhausting...forget getting anything done. Hoping we will be in the new house and all settled by them or else I'm totally in for it.

Tracy that is hysterical. So something that would happen to me....thats one for the memory books...good laugh xoxo

Well girls my heartburn has finally subsided...yup finally found out the culprit. Yes I'm a fatty girl but love my veggies. I need to have a bowl of sald at least everyday sometimes two...its usually my snack again at night in bed. GOtta have a ton of red vinegar....can drink it from the bottle. Been this way since i'm a kid...aparently all of a sudden its killing me. Would NEVER have thought this. How can veggies make me feel like I'm ready to die but yet a greasy Wendys burger...nope I'm fine dont get it..this kid likes all unhealthy stuff...no good. With Maddie it was stricly veggies, chicken, kashi and fruit...wth?

Stacy....wish we could have met up such a busy weeend...wanted to see you.

Stacy~ You sound like us.....quickly get all of the outside activities done before the hot weather hits and get the inside stuff on the hottest days. 77 degrees???? Uh, I'd bump that down a few notches....can't stand to be hot while I sleep!!!

Lindsay~ Pool decks do get hot!! Our concrete surrounding ours (at our old house) was SO HOT!!! We made a nice game of pouring water out of the pool to make a path to the shade.

Lauren~ Oooo....the "FAR" beach! You're so daring.....wish I was daring to jump on a flight to go with you!

Lorena~ Yes, you should've looked in the cereal box for the remote!! A universal remote wouldn't work for the one we were missing....it's the one that goes with the satelite.

Yummy grilled shrimp for supper tonight!!! No----I didn't grill it, but Texas Roadhouse does a wonderful job of it!!

Tomorrow is haircuts and Critical Thinking test......fun for all!!

Hi girls. It's been super hot here all weekend. Yesterday N was in the ER for a few hours. Thankfully we caught his pneumonia early so he didn't need to be admitted. Today he's laying inbred while T and I play in the kiddie pool.

Jess, at least you figured out what's causing your heartburn so you can avoid it. Stinks that it's something you like so much though.

Lauren, hope you had fun on your adventure to the far beach.

Stacy, even I think 77 is too hot for sleeping and we don't even have central air! Just little window units in only our bedrooms.

Ok, better go. Looks like T is about to figure out how to work the hose.

June cafe names.... creative ladies chime in!

I've got so much to do and all the time in the world to do it....but I'm not! I'm here.....

I'm suppose to be taking a test for my online class, but I'm afraid to take it.....for fear I'll fail it!! I'm seriously not fond of tests.

Haircuts are taken care of and financial aid paperwork has been faxed. Cheer Camp paperwork has been mailed, and I'm back on the couch.....I'm thinking very hard about a nap. Very hard!

Tracy: Nope, mine was just a simple remote control.... I imagine you were stuck in the same channel for several days, hope at least it was a good one.......mmm those shrimp sounded great... on line test, better quickly to be over with nasty things, besides, you may have little "help" on online tests......

Liz; I am so sorry for your DH's job, I hope he can find something else, better, I believe somehow changes bring good things, that is why I try not to get so comfortable with things, and I try always to be on the move, changing...... So thoughtful about the medical insurance........

Stacy: I must have skipped somehow your last post..... I can't understand why your friend waited until last minute to turn on the AC probably to save some money....... is my only conclusion.... Ugh so glad your landlord kept the price, I mean didn't you signed an agreement..... I think, that laws in US also protect the tenant over the landlord, like here, so there isn't much to talk about..... How you been? I hope you are fine, Did Charles already left? Oh the aquarium sounds just like fun...... here we have to resign with just a big fishbowls at the mall......

Jessica: mmm.....glad you found out what cause the heartburn .... sorry to hear is one of your favorites and healthy food..... maybe you can switch to cesaer dressing or something else..... o just plain raw veggies.......

Lindsay: sunny days....ugh how I envy those.....here is cold and rainy for the next 6 months......

Well I continue in my week of S test.... which means I am lock up with him....... I bought miss V some girlie high heels and she adored them, now she comes from school and wear them, one day even cry to take them to school.....mmmm... I wonder who she takes that from ....

Happy Tuesday

Lorena

So.....terrifying night tonight. My friend's boyfriend left the door to the basement open when he went down, and of course Elim found it and fell down the entire flight of hardwood stairs. I heard the first thunk and ran over and saw him go down the last several. We went to the ER and they said he's fine. He does have to red marks on his head but no other visible bruises yet. We just have to keep waking him every hour to make sure he's ok for twelve hours from when it happened. Ugh, so scary, I don't know how he didn't break something.

Jessica: me too!! It would've been fun!

Tracy: Eww on the shrimp, can't stand it!

Laura: So glad that you caught it! Haha, hope he didn't soak anything! Elim is loving the hose now too.

Lorena: We only signed a one year lease, so once the year is up is when he was wanting to raise the price some before signing another lease.

Charles arrived safely overseas now, so now the countdown begins! It's easy right now because I'm not at home so out of my regular routine, we'll see how it goes once I'm back home.

Stacy~ I'm so glad that both Elim and Charles are doing okay!!! I know your heart fell to the floor watching him roll down those stairs. His sisters were there breaking the fall.....that's how he didn't break anything.

Lorena~ Good luck on the studying....I can't imagine having to spend that much time for a child that age. I'm still amazed at the difference in his school and ours.

Tests are done, but not too satisfied with the outcomes. Trying to decide whether to attempt it one more time before midnight or just leave it be.........Hate tests!!

Oh my gosh Stacy! That's so scary... and to see it happen too... oy, makes my tummy turn upside down just thinking about it. I'm so glad he's ok- what a tough little cookie!!

Ugh----this online class is going to kill me.....and I have two other regular class sessions per week starting next week too. Someone remind me why I needed this degree too.

My house is still a WRECK and I'm looking at asking TLC to send some intervention show this way! Seriously....what's my problem?? Maybe I need to have a party where good friends come and help. We could move from one house to the other so everyone benefits. (Teehee....who would agree to that??!!)
