 Just another day here. KidsJust another day here. Kids are home, DH is gone (funeral. Yes, another one). Lots to do, no motivation to do it. LOL! uh, I just got upWell, 45 minutes ago. It's 9:15 a.m. This caffeine withdrawal thing isn't easy. I feel almost human today though! Wow, that is impressive! IWow, that is impressive! I guess I have 1-2 cups of coffee a day. Well, I took the kids to Pink Panther and we ended up seeing friends there. The movie had cute moments, but wasn't really my cup of tea. DS9 laughed and laughed with his buddies though. The house is looking pretty good - did all my chores today. Trying to use this week to catch up a little bit. Doing one chore and one Zone each day plus the basics. Where is everyone??!! Good Evening! Well, my bigGood Evening! Well, my big TADA is starting the decluttering at my mom's house. We filled 5 big black trash bags with old magazines and catalogs,one trash bag with trash, and an old computer and printer. All out of her spare room and into my van. Then,on the way home, I donated the bags of mags(ha), and computer stuff. She felt like we made progress but there is still tons to do. She is a pack rat to the nth degree and it is very overwhelming. But we made a good start. I gave her some "homework" to do before I come back again.......... DH stayed home with the kids while I did all that with my mom,they hibernated indoors today. Came home to baked tuna casserole made by DH so that was my day. Gotta get the kiddos into bed shortly. See ya all in the morning. Heidi TADA....I stayed awake all day despite caffeine withdrawal! I have a real TADA too though: -some desk chores Yesterday's flopI got some laundry done, but for the most part, held a fussy baby and played Jewel Quest (at the same time). Then we went to a basketball game last night (district tourny for Varsity girls. We lost. Boys play tonight). Came home, got to ground DD8 from PS2, computer, TV and early to bed all week (for various offenses, mostly talking back, and not all at once). Today I'm finishing up my end of the paperwork on the taxes and going to town. The accountant doesn't see people on Wednesdays, so I want to get it all done TODAY! Then off to the Ag Expo in town so Chance can play on the tractors and I can once again register to win a horse trailer (and get TONS of other freebies the various booths are giving away). Will also end up seeing half of everyone I know in this world and will doubtlessly spend most of the time just talking to folks. Before I go I MUST go buy a stroller for Drew!  SickNot feeling so hot today but wanted to pop my head in and say hi. Good Afternon! TADA morningGood Afternon! TADA PODA Jenny-what happened to your old stroller? I bet enough people will want to hold Drew that you don't need to get a stroller!! Is he fussy again today? Hope not. Hi Everyone! Later...... Heidi  So BehindI really should not be posting. Still flying with routines and working on catching up enough to do zones and missions. We're leaving for Puerto Rico and then Venezuela on Thursday night, so I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to tie up loose ends and get ready. Yikes! Jamielea, I'm sorry to hear you're sick. I am runny nose/coughing too, and I think I'll scoot home in a minute and take some airborne. Jenny, I'm working on business tax stuff too. It's making my head ache. Our girls basketball team had a playoff game last night. I worked the door and let in too many people, pissing off the fire marshall, who is home on leave from Iraq. ^blush^ The good thing is, we won, and they have another game Friday, which I will miss. Hi Heidi, Andrea, Becky! I wonder where Vonnie is? OK, I've got to go finish a couple things, grab DD, get her in her leotard, and zoom to ballet. Later Gators, Wow, what a trip Jo! IsWow, what a trip Jo! Is this purely pleasure? Sounds like your team is doing great. Hope you are better soon Jamie Lea! Hi Heidi, what did DD pick? Hey Jenny! You have been quite busy too! Well, I took the kids and friends skating too. they enjoyed it I think, but the 3.5 hours of ear pounding music was a bit much. Flying? Just maintained so far. Laundry is done. I might do a quick Zone and call it good. Andrea Good Evening! DD picked outGood Evening! DD picked out back issues of Big Backyard magazine and we read a few and did the activities in them. They were DS's that I saved for her. Jo- do you speak Spanish? Hope the trip is for fun. Dinner is in the oven, DH is going downtown to a basketball game,so just the kids and me tonight. I'll read in bed later til he comes home. See ya Heidi Good Evening!!Sounds nice Heidi - reading in bed. I need to pick up a new book by the way. To Kill a Mockingbird is our next book club pick, but I want to read something FUN! I did a Zone - DD7's drawer in her room - pants. Weeded through it. She and I also did a coloring project together - a big flower poster she cut and glued flowers on. Cute. Her mood has been surprisingly pleasant and affectionate lately. Not sure why. Probably because I'm not working this week. Hah! How's that for working Mom's guilt?! Who knows, she may just be going through a stage. Not sure what tomorrow may bring. We were thinking about the Science Museum, but the rollerskating wore me out today, even though I was just sitting. Need to do a bit of shopping to get us thru the week. Have a good nite all! Good evening all....Here's my TADA for today.(I've never done one, so I thought I'd try it.) By the way, "D" doesn't always stand for "dear." Andrea, we read To Kill aAndrea, we read To Kill a Mockingbird in 6th or 7th grade. I loved it! You will probably have some fun with it. Rollerskating sounds like fun! Heidi, the old stroller died years ago! LOL! I had one with Chance but hated it, left it outside and now is ruined (just as well since I hated it). Drew is too young for just an umbrella stroller. I went to my cousin's used kids stuff shop, but all she had included the car seat, and even those weren't in that good of shape (or were just yucky looking). I'm either going to ask SIL if she can bring me hers this weekend for me to borrow if she doesn't need it, or go without and just use the sling. Which I did today at the Ag Expo and it wasn't that bad. We walked around for 3 hours and I wasn't too tired. So I may just do that. Got pretty much what I wanted done today done. Which didn't include laundry or house, which I'm behind on both. LOL! DH went to ball game. We lost. Again. Season over for us. I'm kinda vegging right now til he gets home. Gotta put kids to bed here in a minute (well, the girls. Chance will go later. Drew even later, though he is napping in his beloved swing right now). Checking in.I haven't been online much. Literally couldn't get to my computer so I finally got motivated to clean up and clear this place out. BIG difference. Couldn't finish, got the tummy bug. Will check in later to catch up. Son needs to get of to school right now. --Karin MorningYeah, I'm looking forward to reading it Jenny. I'm waiting for it to come in through interlibrary loan so I can pick it up. Hope it comes in today because I have to pick up some other stuff at the library too. Never read it in school. Nice to see you Karin - amazing how much time the puter can eat up isn't it Karin?! Well, I think we will stay home today and maybe have friends over. Do a few chores. Check in later! Quick post! Drew is fixin'Quick post! Drew is fixin' to wake up!! Staying home today so I can play catchup with everything. Laundry, cleaning, everything. I beat Jewel Quest, so I no longer have that tempting me to get on the computer. Time to get this house in shape before my trip next week!  So many babiesI thought, Andrea, maybe you were making an announcement! We've all still been sick here. I'm in that awful mode of being OK by day but coughing like crazy at night. Still, I picked up a ton on Sunday for a little playdate we had on Monday, and things still look pretty good. DD2 is downstairs watching A Bug's Life while I make the grocery list (we're off the credit cards, but not feeling secure enough to go back to online grocery shopping until I get another check in the mail! I hate shopping!!) and chill out, hoping that my headache subsides a bit. Sinus infection? Hope all you other sickies start to feel better. Boy it wears on the morale, doesn't it? Better keep the day moving! Ha! No, I am quite contentHa! No, I am quite content with two only. I would love that online grocery thing Shaun. Our town is just too small to have it I guess. Maybe I should email Wegmans and ask, you think? Well, got a few things done - laundry, exercise, breakfast (more like brunch). All ready to take the kids swimming and then DS9 decided he didn't want to go! So not sure what we'll do now. Need to run to the library. Andrea Still feeling weirdI too thought Andrea was announcing something so I had to stick my head in. Hope your all having a super day! SiThis is purely pleasure. Well, sorta. When DH was so sick with the drug-resistant infection, his doc told me that when someone has been through something as stressful as what we went through for 6 months, it is really important to take some time as soon as you can once it is over and "un-clench." (his word) His theory is that stress at that level will have dangerous physical effects and some time of pure relaxtion is a medical necessity. I agree. So this is our post-fire/opening a new business un-clenching. There is a group of 12 of us going, including my four best friends, and we are cruising from San Juan to Venezuala with stops in the Virgin Islands and Aruba. There has been much e-mailing in anticipation (some of us are coming in from Michigan and Seattle) and a couple od naughty challenges have been issued. I think the trip will be very, very fun and relaxing. I can't wait!! Today I packed and cleaned the house and van. My sister is coming to stay at my house with the kids, so I need to leave the van for her. TADA PODA Tomorrow's PODA Ack. Better go get busy. Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA Jo-have a blast!! shaun-sorry to hear you are still sick,get better NOW... Hi All heidi Wow sounds great Jo! HaveWow sounds great Jo! Have fun! Naughty challenges?? Now you have me curious! So is that what it takes to get you posting Jamie Lea??!! Hi Heidi! How big is your town exactly? My town is also referred to as a village here in NY and is 7000 plus 5000 college students. But we do have a very nice Main Street with shops, cafes, etc. Gotta run - see you in the am. Oh c'mon...why am I aloneOh c'mon...why am I alone here??? TADA so far: PODA: See ya! And someone else better have posted when I check back. Andrea Here!I'm here, Andrea! LOL! Our "town" is also called a village. But the population is like 100. Town town, where we go to get milk, has a population of 12,000 (and 3 or 4 old grouches, according to the sign when you come into town). The town has been trying to revitalize our Main St/Square. Big town, Clovis, is about 25,000. It has a really cool Main St that is paved with bricks. Lots of neat little shops there. But I think the neatest Main St./Square I have ever seen in in Granbury, Texas. It's really neat, I would love to go shopping there. Jo, the trip sounds like a much needed getaway. Wanna pick me up on the way? hehe! I've stuck with flylady last night and this morning and boy, it makes a difference! A load of laundry going, refilled the distiller, unloaded the DW and put away hand washed stuff. LR was picked up last night and dinner all cleaned up then, too. It feels good. If only I could stick with it everyday. I got a good chunk of Chance's room cleaned up. There is a floor, no longer just a path. I really need to "homeschool" with Chance a bit, before he starts in September and Mrs. Sheri thinks I don't do anything with him (I know she will know otherwise, she was both the girls' teacher in preschool, too). He wants to go to school, so I told him we would "play" school at home. And as soon as Drew takes a nap, we will have PE (that is, my workout tape. LOL!). My weight has stalled, need to kick it in the butt. Oh, and I filled up a 32 oz jug with water and will drink that today. Aiming for 2 times, but once would be progress. I often go days without drinking water, just milk and cokes. Bad me. feeling lazyYesterday I went to a campus event with free champagne. I only had one glass, but I drink so little that I feel relaxed and sluggish this morning as an after-effect. PODA: -go to the dentist (not much fun but at least I only have to sit there and not do anything) Good Morning! TADA morningGood Morning! TADA PODA Andrea-not sure of our population but we are surrounded by other villages. We are all suburbs of major city. Our "downtown" has quaint shops and waterfalls,etc,very Norman Rockwell. Becky-is it just a check up or are you getting work done at the dentist? Jenny-I'm sure Chance will do well next year,is it a preK class? See ya Heidi Morning Everyone! Well, IMorning Everyone! Well, I got a good night's sleep last nite - 9:30 to 6:00 am, interrupted only once or twice by a scratching cat, so am feeling pretty good. TADA so far: PODA: See ya! jealousAndrea, you have NO IDEA how jealous I am over your sleep! Drew is a bedhog. For someone that doesn't know how to even roll over yet, he somehow manages to scooch me nearly off the bed! Drew had a troublesome day yesterday. Nursing and holding most all day. Will try to accomplish something today. LOL! Good Morning! TADA morningGood Morning! TADA PODA Can you tell that it is a sunny day in the almost 40's today based on my PODA??? Jenny-sorry yesterday was a hard day with Drew,is he coming down with something? TGIF Friends! Heidi Nope, he's not coming downNope, he's not coming down with anything. Just being fussy. LOL! I thought he was more like Shelby when he was born and easy going. Now he is more like Chance (very demanding). Must be Sickie Week around here.I just popped in and 17 NEW MESSAGES? Okay, I'm going to give this a sincere catch-up effort. I really like TNH's format now, makes finding things very easy. Andrea, yes, it's amazing how much time sitting at the computer can take out of my day. I literally have a timer here, limit myself. Hence the lack of posting some days. I'm with you on the debit card thing. We've cut down to one account, cash/debit only. Online purchase by credit, but that's it. Much easier to keep track of things. Jennye, I hate to admit I like Jewel Quest, too. Darn computer with the darn addictive internet games! Okay, you have me motivated on the water drinking today. Shaun, we've had a week of the sickies here, too. And yes, it does wear on the morale a bit. I hope you all start feeling better soon! Jo, with what you guys have been through, sounds like you have a good time of "un-clenching" lined up. Hope you have fun! Heidi, you get tired??????? Half of the time I get tired reading your posts! Becky, and now I am reminded to make MY dental appointment. How did the "desk chores" go? Okay, my time is about up. I need to keep moving here. We've had a long week, sickies kind of slow things down. But cool news is I finished a huge project finally! I made a simple but nice website for my boys' private deaf school. It's not up yet, but will be soon. Still needs some tweaking, but for a first project it looks nice. I hope, we'll see... Hope you have a great weekend! ---Karin HiHi Everyone - I think I do have some idea Jenny! I remember those days pretty well (though they are fading in my memory). Hope you can get some sleep soon! HI Heidi - glad you can spend some time outside! Hi Karin - nice of you to do the website for your sons' school. Well, I'm off to pick up DD in a few minutes from a playdate. Still have my Zone to do and a little laundry. Andrea You guys are very special to me!Simple goals today: Clean the house--hopefully with the boys' help, Make goop with some friends. Boy, those two things don't seem to go well together. Should be interesting to see how the day goes. I wanted to share something with you guys. I've been on and off this forum a lot over the last four and a half years. But you don't know what it really means that I can come back here to such a wonderful group of gals (I know a guy or two may post, too) that I feel totally at home with. Because of DH's job and our constant moving, I'm finding it very hard to make friends. I'm in a place now where I don't have a lot in common with others. I have to constantly adjust to new locations, new people with different characters, This place (TNH forums) just "fits", you guys are amazing and motivating. It feels so good to be able to come here and just feel comfortable. I remember years ago feeling lonely because it's so hard to make friends again and again. Some of you reminded me to get out and keep trying to make friends. I have done that over the years, and have made a few very close friends. But my "Imaginary Friends" have always stayed in my heart, in a very special place. Even the entire time I wasn't posting. When I finally popped back in, you have no clue how excited I was to see so many "long-timers" still here!!!!! I've met some neat gals in my new place, they are absolutely wonderful. But I'm not sure they're the best fit for me. I'm hanging in there, giving it a real go, but I'm going to try to make some other new friends here, too. I wanted to post my feeling this morning, just to remind you how special you all are to me. And I mean that from the very bottom of my heart. I'm going to post this message on A New You, too, because of the good gals in both of these groups. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU all for being such a neat part of my life!!!!! --Karin good Morning! Karin-that wasgood Morning! Karin-that was such a nice sentiment to share. I enjoy having you around on the forums as well. TADA PODA DH went with BIL to get cabinets for redoing their kitchen and for DH work so the kids and I are lazing at home today. Don't really feel like doing much today,surprise,surprise!! Have a good one guys! Heidi SOS, DDYesterday was much like the day before. Nursing and holding. I did manage to set him down for a nap long enough for me to finish up 4 scrapbook spreads. Karin, you are so sweet! I'm always happy to see your name popping up again! As for Jewel Quest. hehehe. I got tired of the internet free version and bought the darn whole version at Walmart. LOL! TOO much fun!! Going to do some laundry and a little picking up. then spending the rest of the day at the inlaws. MIL has my nephew for the weekend and he is demanding Chance be there (they were born 6 days apart, so are pretty close buddies). NEWS FLASH: I can fit into a pair of my dress pants! Now I have something nice and skinny looking to wear on the plane Thursday! good morning!Karin, thank you for the nice sentiments. Jewel Quest, hm. Might try that one out. Desk chores and everything went fine on Thursday. Yesterday I had stuff at school all day. PODA: -actually get dressed and do that morning routine thing (oh yeah, that) Good Morning! TADA morningGood Morning! TADA PODA very cold and windy here today so the warm indoor nature center sounds good today. Heidi HI all- Just back from aHI all- Just back from a family overnite at a hotel near here. Unpacked, etc. and am now having lunch. It was fun - the kids swam three times! I soaked in the hot tub - bliss! Congrats on your weight loss Jenny - that's fantastic! Heidi, we are cold too! Woke up to about 6 inches where we were this am. Well, I'm off to do ????? HelloI haven't been on in quite sometime... but found myself back to reading posts to get inspiration. And you all are such inspiring people. Working today so not much cleaning but my mind is on it.... Hopefully this will last until I awake tomorrow so I can get busy doing my daily routines....Thanks MARCI?????Well, HEY girl! Give us an all-encompassing update...soon...please! Blessings, quick hiJust had to de-lurk to say that it was so nice to read your post, Karin! I am just so overwhelmed, as usual, so rare to kick back and say "ahhhh!" in front of the computer. Right now, I am saying "AAHHHRRRGG!" intead-- hours of work to do before I sleep. But I was wise and made dinner already, so that when it is time for dinner break I just go down and eat some yummy corn chowder, bread, and salad, rather than saying "AAAHHHRRRGG!" in front of the fridge again. Nice to see you Marci (right?) Shaun HI everyone!Hey Marci - great to see you again!! Corn chowder, yum Shaun, sounds good. Working on a diorama with DS9 right now - from a book "The Water of Life". Waiting to take DD's friends home - very loud! See ya later - Good Afternoon! Took DD toGood Afternoon! Took DD to the nature center,DS wanted to stay home with DH. We had a nice time. Roasted chicken is in the oven,laundry is in the dryer. Andrea- we may do that for a night during Spring Break next month. It is like a mini getaway with out the driving or time element involved. My kids love swimming so it would be right up their alley! Gotta run.... heidi Hi allJust poppin in to say hi! TADA dust Have a great one! M My MIL survived theMy MIL survived the overnight with 4 kids. Barely. LOL! I think she was happy when I showed up to take my 3 home. haha! DH and I enjoyed a nice quiet evening. I had my margarita and kettle corn, DH rented The 40-year-old Virgin. I went to bed with Drew before it was over. Then I talked DH into going to church with me, ate at Red Lobster afterwards up in Clovis, got groceries at Walmart. Unloaded, to inlaws to get kids, and now home again. I have SO MUCH to do before I leave Thursday! Hopefully will have TADAs to post this week. Marci!Wow, it's been a long time!

Our record is 20-1-0 and lots of people think they will win the state championship. My neice plays, so I really hope they do that well. We tend to choke in playoff situations.
