Hello all! Happy September! Thank you Barbie bringing us into this new month! I think the last time I was on here, I was experiencing glitches on my computer. I had to go computerless for a while; then my DYS gave me his laptop to use. It seems there is always a bit of a learning curve with different technology, browsers,…

Morning all! I am happy to hear that our sick, injured, repaired friends are getting the help they need and on the road to recovery! Yea! I saw Deadpool and Wolverine last night with my DYS. Not everyone's cup of tea; but I laughed so hard through this entire movie (like I have with the other Deadpool movies). DH can't…

I had a reply to a few of you last night, but I was on my glitch laptop and it went bye-bye. I rewrote it to send and it went poof again; SO I just gave up and went to bed. I just caught up reading the past couple of days. Pip- I know you will do what you need, to take care of yourself. If this had been me I would be…
-
Pip- Like you, I can't take naps during the day. If I happen to fall asleep midday, I figure I am getting sick. lol I am also an early to bed/early to rise person. Bed by 9pm, up by 5 am. It works best for me. Debbie- So sorry to hear about the fires, but glad your mom/mom's place is okay! Ginny- I think you and Kylia get…

up to p 43 Terri- Happy anniversary to you and your hubby! <3 Pip- Gah! 82F at 4:40am?!?!! Torture! Rebecca- Safe travels to your sisters! Lisa I giggle every time you talk about Skyrizi (sp). lol It sounds like the new "hip" lingo the kids are using "skibidi, rizzi/Rizzo, etc." Whoot! More money from the feds? That's like…

up to p 42 Heather- Wow! You are busy! Getting so much done! When is your surgery? I have lazy susans above my fridge for my cleaning products and two double decker ones in my pantry cupboard. One for spices, the other for canned soups (easy for DH to make). I love them. The kids call them merry go rounds! :D Rori-…
-
Carol- So happy your surgery went well and it sounds like recovery is off to a great start! Sending prayers and healing thoughts to you! <3 Annie- I hope you are able to get your hair colored! I know you have been looking forward to it! Lanette- You fit so much into every day! I don't know how you do it! You also find the…

Caught up reading again! I have a virus of some sort on my computer which is making it very hard to use. So...I haven't been on here for the past week. I have a firewall, but obv something snuck in. Grrrr... Flea- <3 Spoon theory <3 Thank you for sharing this. I will be sharing with people that I know who need to read it.…

All caught up on this warm and sunny Sunday evening! I am on day 13 of this crappy summer cold. I have been working through it. I did have a long holiday weekend over the 4th (4-7th) and I rested the entire weekend. AND I have rested the majority of this weekend. DH and DYS have it, too. Anyway...it is what it is. I am…

Trying to catch up on the reading of posts. I am on page 20. Happy birthday to Kirby! And Pip lets us celebrate by posting pics of him! That porch pic! *swoon*! <3 :* :p xoxoxo KJ

Hello to all; welcome to the new ladies! Remember to come back to this thread tonight to click on Barbie's link in her post, that will take us all into July! THEN, remember to bookmark July! The weather has moderated a bit. It is in the 70s/80s, and I am inside and sleeping my way through the weekend with a summer cold. I…

Machka- I love the colors that you chose for your new home! Mine are similar. blues, greys, and browns. I am hoping to paint again this year. Just to freshen things up. I also live a five minute walk away from a beach. It is nice to have it so close. Flea- Beautiful photos! I am excited about my son moving to Idaho; so…

Re: all of the small children- Three years ago, I got licensed to care for up to 12 children in my home. In Michigan, 12 is the max for "family/group" type childcare; then if you want more children, you become a "center" or school. My husband got all of his certifications to be my assistant. Having the group license (12)…

Oh did I mention that three of my families are pregnant?! I will have three new infants in my care by January! That will give me eight babies under 2! :o :s This makes me tired to think about.
-
Hello all! reminder to myself: Never leave this group for a week or more! lol I FINALLY caught up with reading the posts. Allie- Sending love and hugs to your daughter/family. Maybe a vacation is what she needs to relax and breathe. ? Beth- Thinking of you as you find care for your mom. So hard! On another note: I am…

Good morning all! Happy (Memorial Weekend for those of us in the USA) Saturday! I have been reading posts daily, trying to keep up with everyone. Tracey- If the childcare centers in your area are like the ones around here; they are aching for help! You could also look into any school aged summer programs. Then you would…
-
Evelyn- So sorry to hear about the "cluster" of deaths in your family. IMO, that is the hardest part of aging; the loss of family/friends. Sometimes it seems that there are "years" that take a toll. For instance, in 1993 (the year my parents passed away) we also lost five aunts/uncles that year. Sending you peace and…

Hey all! Woke up to a warm rainy Spring Sunday! I slept in until 8am, which felt wonderful. I got dressed, drank a half a cup of coffee and the rain began to let up. So my shoes went on my feet, my spring jacket over my hoodie and out the door I went to see what I could see. The Mayapples are up, as are ramps, lily of the…

Playing catch up again, as I was "down" for part of the weekend with something similar to what Annie was dealing with. I woke up Saturday morning with a sore lower back, dizzy, (but no vomiting). I moved around carefully, kept to tea and water, and did a few "Bob and Brad" stretches for a pinched nerve. I was fine by…

Jumping on really quick: Michele- a couple of ideas for a preschool grad gift: I would pass on the backpack. Every kid, or their parent, knows exactly what they want in a backpack and will get it. I would maybe get a gift card to an office supply store/ or a target and let them shop for school supplies. Kids like to pick…

Good morning all! Happy Easter! Well, I made it through my work day, Friday, and managed to stay awake to make the hour long drive to the airport to pick up my DYS when his flight landed at 10:30pm. (Of course I did; I adore that kid!) With picking him up, waiting for baggage, and the drive home; it was 1:00am before I was…

Pip- Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Sounds as if she, like your sister, was waiting for you before she passed. Relationships are complicated. Life is a winding road most times; up and down like a roller coaster. Thinking of you and sending peaceful thoughts your way. Michele- Sorry about Loki! (((Hugs))) It is Good…

I am on page 67 and catching up on posts, but I need to jump in and chime in on the news re: Tracy's unborn baby. Allie- Such sad news; and a child missing an arm will bring extra expenses. BUT, keep in mind, as people with two arms we view this child as "not normal" or having a "birth defect" and envision a very difficult…

Well, I left off on week 6, alternating 50 sumo squats three days and 25 basic squats on the days in between for a total of 200 squats a week. I didn't do squats while my grands were visiting. I was busy with them and the dog that came with them. lol SO... Week 7 March 25 - 50 sumo squats

Hello! Catching up on my reading, but I still have 10 more pages to go (plus whatever is posted today)! Everyone has been so busy! I think my last post was about 2-3 weeks ago, as I completely tapped out of social media for the week my grands were here. (3/8-3/16) More on that tomorrow, when I have a little more time. In…

Cilantro lover here! married to a cilantro hater. lol SO...it is served on the side for most dishes. As Heather stated, it doesn't belong on everything! Three days before the grands are here! Whoot!
