Happy Monday gals!!Happy Monday gals!! Did everyone have a productive weekend? I won't lie, I really didn't. But the house didn't fall apart, and I did get 5 loads of laundry COMPLETELY done (even put away). Andrea, that's alot of ball games! I agree with just camping there (but I'll take my 5th wheel rather than a tent. LOL! Might as well have a hot shower. hehehe). Regarding the gas line: the gas people came out right away and fixed it. No fines or anythings, I think we will just have to pay for the guys to fix it. Still, I let DH know I was ticked off about it. We really weren't evacuated or anything, I went to inlaws house because I was mad. LOL! They said this happens all the time. I have alot to get done this week, one of which is getting the garden ready to plant (that is, IF I can get DH to fix my roto-tiller). I want to plant next week! Can you say fried squash? Yummy!! Well, won't go well with my diet, will it? I got the kids up and off to school. DS2 is watching Scooby-doo, I'm going to exercise real quick. Then weekly blessing. I haven't touched my closet like I had hoped, not sure I will today either. I have a todo list a mile long, so I need to get busy!  Morning Everyone - We haveMorning Everyone - Jenny, you are doing great with your exercise! I'm holding my own with walking and doing WW online, but I'd still like to lose at least 10 more pounds. I am 7 down from my all-time high, which was 159. I got a fair amount done this weekend - washed a couple of windows and did regular chores. I'd like to finish the windows and also find time to fit some scrapping in! See ya! Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA DS track meet got cancelled today due to rain,so no late night getting home for us tonight,yay. I am subbing again tomorrow and for sure Friday,not sure about Wed or Thur yet. Only 4and a half weeks left,amazing. DD's bday party went well. She got about a dozen new outfits,some art and craft stuff,music,board game,book,and skates. All the things she likes. Now she is writing out her thank you cards. Hope you all have a good night. Heidi It's Tuesday, and that meansIt's Tuesday, and that means Baby C day. So far he's being good. I had to run to town to the courthouse for some paperwork (jury duty questionaire, lovely), and he was an angel in the grocery store, too. He's still asleep now (the only reason I'm even on the computer). So chaulk up a big zero for flying today! LOL! heidi, sounds like DD got some neat things! Andrea, if your sick of the rain, send it down here. Haven't seen any in months here! My pastures really need some. cya'll later! Good morning! It's a balmyGood morning! It's a balmy 60F outside and supposed to break 90 today. Unfortunately, the wind is going to blow, too, with gusts 50+. Bleh. DH is out of town, went to Denver on a fire department errand. He'll be back tomorrow night. In the meantime, got some work to do (as always). I'm waiting for some tylenol to kick in for some sore muscles, then I'm going to try to jump on that treadmill for a mile. I really need to clean up the den (old office, which is still what we call it. Just can't get used to any other name). Need to make some phone calls, too. Just a bunch of misc. stuff today, I guess. Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA Heidi Heidi, what color did youHeidi, what color did you dye your hair? You know what? I don't think I have ever seen a picture of you! I know what Andrea looks like (and it seems to be just us three around here anymore), but no idea on you! LOL! I didn't exercise yesterday. My calf muscles are still a bit sore, so I'm putting it off. Today DD10 has the annual 4th, 5th and 6th grade track meet with the two other rural schools in our county. We are hosting it this year, so I'll try to go by the school later. IF this darn wind doesn't blow too much. Weather channel says gusts 60+. I don't want to go out in it, especially with DS2. This afternoon (at 3), I have jury duty. That's a DUMB time to have the first jury duty meeting. I mean, that's right when schools are starting to get out! But, luckily, I have made arrangments with MIL to get the kids AND watch DS2 (bless her). I could go on, but in short, not much flying today. Oh, yesterday I did get a ton of papers sorted and most thrown away! did some filing, too! And found something I had been looking for and was really worried about. So, cool. DH gets home this afternoon (only to run off to a fire meeting). I think I'll bring home pizza for dinner. I made it out for part ofI made it out for part of the track meet. I missed dd10s first event (frisbee toss, which she won 3rd), and she ended up not having another one til after lunch. I was already sick of being in the wind and not seeing my daughter do any events, so I came home instead. Did my jury duty (and report for selection on Monday. bleh. Thank goodness the county's lone murder trial scheduled will be after my term is up. I'm already having problems with childcare for the next three weeks!). Today is laundry day. And run the vacuum and broom since yesterday's sand storms left a horrible mess in my house, again. Is it summer yet? I'm ready for spring sand storms to be replaced by summer isolated thunder storms. LOL! Hello? Hellllooooo....IsHello? Hellllooooo....Is this thing on. Just me, all by my lonesome. And I'm NOT flying very well. Why am I still here on the Flybabies thread if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing? I don't know. But I have a valid reason for not doing anything yesterday (except two loads of laundry). Drew spiked up a fever and demanded to be held all day long. Even as he napped, he wanted to be in my arms. I blame Baby C. Because even though Baby C wasn't sick on Tuesday, Wednesday his mom took him to the er because of a fever. So I figured whatever Baby C had, he gave to Drew. Right? So, there is the story of why I didn't fly yesterday. I need to finish up the laundry today, as well as make invitations for DD10's slumber party, then we have to go to a baby shower this afternoon. I don't wanna go. But the future grandparents/aunts are good friends of ours, so I suppose I must. And go to town tomorrow for church. And go to town on Monday for jury duty. I'm getting tired of town. Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA DS has a party to attend tonight but the rest of us will be home. We all feel lazy today. It is rainy and dark out,that is the main reason I guess. Jenny-I have never had jury duty. I kinda think it would be neat if childcare issues were not a problem. I would rather have rain anyday compared to those nasty sandstorms that you get,ugh... Yeah,where have all the flybabies gone??? Chime in guys! Heidi  WowWow you all seem to get so much done! I just started getting into flylady about 4 months ago, i also have one of her books i found at half price bookstore. Heres my morning routine: MORNING ROUTINE I usually can stick to it pretty well, although i admit that when its pete's days off i usually slack off lol. Anyways, just thought i'd leave a post, hope you don't mind =) ~ Chelsea Hi Everyone! WelcomeHi Everyone! TADA so far: PODA: See ya! Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA WElcome Chelsea Yesterday was a big lazy day,today seems more promising with sunnier skies. Heidi Welcome Chelsea! Well, it'sWelcome Chelsea! Well, it's Sunday, and guess what. I ditched church again! LOL! DH didn't get in til late last night from an ambulance run, so we just decided to spend it at home with family instead. I didn't go to that baby shower yesterday either. That's two days of gas to town I saved, since I have to go tomorrow for Jury Duty and again on Tuesday for DS2's shots (and I have baby c that day, too). I finished laundry yesterday, but still need to fold two of the loads. Then I got to playing around with Photoshop some more. If my DH would get off his duff and fix my rototiller, I could be out there getting the garden ready to plant! Or fix my lawnmower's tire and change the oil so I can get ready to mow the back lawn. Or my fix my weedeater. Or fix my well. Yeah, he's getting quite a big honey-do list. Inlaws are coming for dinner (dh invited them), so I'm busy cooking up a big meal (bbq pork, mashed taters, brocolli casserole, homemade buns. Need a dessert?). But I'm cleaning as I go! 5/4 AfternoonWow Jennye your dinner sounds great. Were having Fried chicken here, with mashed potatos and gravy (w/ mushrooms in the gravy Mmm lol) and sauteed mushrooms. I too have been skipping out on church alot lately, Its hard to go because petes basic work hours are 11pm-7am so he's pretty much asleep by the time sermon starts. Hopefully we can start going soon. Pick up living room (done) So right now i have i love lucy on (one of my favorite things to clean to lol) and DH is asleep, i gotta wake him up around 9 with dinner ready. Anyways, i'm gonna get off my butt and start cleaning =) That kind of schedule isThat kind of schedule is hard to deal with. I think it's a pretty valid reason to miss church. I live 25 miles from town, so the fuel is my (bad) excuse. My casserole didn't turn out well today. I guess I overcooked the greens, they were mushy. Our grocery store quit carrying the broc. that I usually use. Then I burned the buns. Which was fine with DH and FIL, they LOVE things burned! Really, they do! But the mashed taters and the BBQ was good (you can't mess up my BBQ. The pork roast was homegrown, of course. Just cook it on low for 6-8 hours then make the sauce, throw the cut up meat in it, and let it sit overnight). Flying today was keeping the kitchen clean and the rest of the house decent til the inlaws arrived. The four kids were fairly good about that today, you can still see the floor in their rooms. LOL! I had to go out and love the horses for a bit, too. DS2 likes to sit on the oldest one, he's my horse kid. Jury duty first thing in the morning, after I drop the three off at school and the one at my MILs. I'll do groceries while in town, too. So ya'll have a good one! 5/5 afternoonSo it is officially Monday and the begininng of a new week. I am not 1000-1100:Morning Routine/B-fast/Emails Thats pretty much my schedule, lol hopefully i will be able to stick Your Friend, I started the day off inI started the day off in court all day for Jury Duty after dropping the kids off at school and MILs. I wasn't selected this time. But since I was childless I went to Walmart for a peaceful shopping trip for a change. LOL! Got DS2 at inlaws and came home, unloaded groceries. Still need to put away the non-perishable stuff, hunger (I had skipped breakfast) and the need to check email overtook me. LOL! Tonight is the kids Spring Program. I'll try to do a few things around here before then. I'm glad you got to have aI'm glad you got to have a peaceful shopping spree Jennye, Hope your jury duty goes well. I got some of the stuff on my list done, i got thrown off schedule cause Peter didn't go to bed till about 3pm :oS Oh well, i'm sure i can get most of the stuff done. I'm having a cup of coffee right now and checking emails (i get the urge to check my emails sometimes too lol i usually do at least once a day) Anyways, hope your nites going good. Ttyl Morning All! Glad to seeMorning All! Just got to work and am getting ready for my day: PODA: Have a great day everyone! Just a quick check in thisJust a quick check in this morning. Yesterday's housework was blasted away by helping put in a new waterline to the corrals (then herding the cows with the 4wheeler to a different pen, which is always fun!). Topped with tornado warnings, lightening, 5 different grass fires from said lightening, and the kids spring music program. See, never a dull moment! This morning DS2 gets to have shots and checkup in C-town, and babysitting 10 month old Baby C while I'm at it. This will hopefully be my last trip to town this week, so I need to pick up something for DD10s b-day this weekend. Ya'll have a good one! Morning gals!! Rise andMorning gals!! Rise and shine! It's a BEAUTIFUL day! It RAINED last night! It's been months, but we finally got some rain!! And no fires, either! It's also beautiful because my new lens for my camera should be here today! AND yesterday should be the last day I have Baby C!! I didn't get DD10's birthday gift yesterday. Just didn't want to drag Baby C and DS2 thru any more stores (we did office max and waited 1 1/2 hours in the dr. office). I just wanted to get home so I could feed the baby and let DS2 loose. I did get the kitchen cleaned up after dinner (which I just fixed something for the kids). Today is the day I have to catch up after two town days. Uh-oh. LOL! Laundry is my main priority. I'm not going to worry about the weekly blessing til Friday. The kids can help with it, and we are having company Saturday for the birthday girl's family party (just the inlaws and SIL and family). But I'll go to town tomorrow to get her a gift and the food needed for the party (she has requested cheesecake and stuffed shells). Laterz gatorz!  Guess What?Tonight is my LAST CLASS of my Master's Degree! I am sooooooo happy. Now I can start flying again! I miss you gals! Love, Awesome Jo! Can't wait toAwesome Jo! Can't wait to see you posting again and hearing your delicious sounding menus! WAY TO GO, JO!!!! HiWAY TO GO, JO!!!! Hi Lenora TADA PODA Long day,lots of running,I hate days like that... Jenny-glad you got some rain to tame those sandstorms down See you all tomorrow Heidi Goodness, Heidi! Busy dayGoodness, Heidi! Busy day you had!!! Do you have today off to recoop or you subbing again? I still have one load of laundry to fold from yesterday. DH had cut my water off for a while so we could put in a couple hundred more feet of water line for the two new tanks going into the corrals. It was cold and windy, though. DH had to have cash for today's field trip to Lubbock with DD8's class, so we ran to town last night, had some dinner at PIzza hut and got a couple groceries at Walmart. I was going to run to town today to get DD10 a present, but maybe DH can do that tonight? Just how windy was that wind a last week? DH and I were talking about the water tanks when we noticed that the portable one was GONE! The thing weighs a couple hundred pounds, about 10 feet across, and made of galvanized metal. It was in a fenced area, all fences were intact. We assumed someone stole it (which really freaked us out since that pen is right behind the house). But on a hunch I took the 4-wheeler out to the pasture and FOUND that tank about 1/4 mile away! Ok, enough rambling. I've already got up at 6 and made the invitations for DDs party, got everyone up, dressed, fed, off to school. DS2 is still asleep, I've checked email and drank my slimfast. I'm going to finish folding that last load of laundry, spiffy up the bathrooms and mop the kitchen. Clean a corner of my room, and try to scrapbook a little (if I can find all my equipment! Where is my papercutter and the sticky tape?). Oh, well. I also want to clean out the storage shed outside. After it warms up a little. Good Evening! TADA morningGood Evening! TADA PODA I am off tomorrow and will play catchup at home(laundry,vacuuming,bank,general tidying up,etc) What are your plans for Mother's Day? I am making a brunch for us and my mom then we will exchange gifts and go to the cemetery to visit my grandmother. Have a pleasant evening. TADAJust hijacking your thread for some shameless maternal bragging! I don't have time most days for creating a thread/posting but my heart is here with you all! Much love, I had an upset tummyI had an upset tummy yesterday so I didn't get much done. But today I've been whipping the kids into gear. I did a deep cleaning on the bathrooms (still have a tub to do). DDs are making sure I can vacuum right now, then I'm going to set one to work on dusting. If they don't kill each other with picking up the floor ("But she isn't picking up HER stuff" in a real whiney voice. Yeah, like that). Lordy, school is out in two weeks. Will we all survive the summer? LOL! I also need to do some baking today. A cake for DH to take to his final exam tomorrow (his EMT-I class. They are having a pot luck after the exam while they wait for the lady to grade them). Plus make DD10's birthday cake (she requested cheesecake, who am I to argue?), and maybe put together the stuffed shells for tomorrow, too. Dh is out buying the cement and stock tanks, and I guess I'll probably help put them in this afternoon. SplashJumping back in! TADA PODA Have a great day Flyfriends! Good Afternoon! TADA morningGood Afternoon! TADA PODA Heidi Hey guys - There you goHey guys - Regular day here - folding laundry and putting away now - Happy Birthday DD11!!!!!How was dinner, Andrea? After I posted yesterday I didn't get a whole lot more done. I spent two hours with DH putting in that water tank (and mixing 20 bags of cement by hand. And when I say by hand, I mean with my bare hands! We just poured the mix in the form and added water. I was tired!). But still made PWs chocolate sheet cake for DH to take today. Got up at 6 so I could begin making today's birthday stuff. Cheesecake is in the oven now, going to make a devil's food cake too, because DH invited some friends over too (bringing today's tally to 17). DH is off to take his final exam, and in the meantime I got to finish cleaning the house. He was ticked this morning that it wasn't done (lordy hon, I was exhausted after mixing all that cement yesterday! Next time I'll let him mix it himself!!). And I'm glad I didn't do it yesterday, because he wore muddy boots all in my house after working out in the pens and I would have had to redo it all anyway! Lessee, I need to: Dang it, it's windy today. Hey gals! Did we all have aHey gals! Did we all have a good mother's day (those of us that are moms anyway)? Mine was just like any other day, except a couple of gifts (a plant for the porch and a couple of CDs. Which I thought was odd. Beastie Boys and AC/DC. I have enjoyed them, though. Lots of memories in that BB one. LOL!) However, just because my FIL put the briscut in the oven and took it out DOES NOT mean he fixed us dinner. MIL still made the rolls, I still made the mashed potatoes and dessert, and us gals still did all the dishes. LOL! We also had a good party on Saturday (and used 3/4 of a big bottle of tequila!). Kids had fun (they did not have the tequila), adults had fun (hehehe). Good time had by all. And my cheesecake was KILLER! Today I must do laundry. Also need to go to town and get groceries (and diapers. Need diapers!), rent a rototiller (since dh won't fix mine), try to get excused for jury duty (I thought I could handle it with the kids. I cannot), and feed store. I need horse feed badly. Friends coming over for dinner tonight. Need to work on bills. Yeah, I'll be busy laters. HI Everyone- 3/4 of aHI Everyone- My M. Day was very nice - I received red roses and a Dunkin Donuts gift card from DH and kids, $ from my folks for my camera purchase, a framed photo from DD, and cake and a garden accesory from DS. Nice!! We went to the Lilac Festival in the city which was really nice. Flying? Whoohoo, got excused fromWhoohoo, got excused from Jury Duty!! They took one look at my beautiful brown eyed toddler and he melted their hearts, immediatly excused me for the year, but tried to keep the kid. I told him he wouldn't be any good on a jury, he would side with anyone who would give him a cheeto. LOL! Time to work on laundry. So, Andrea, did you get theSo, Andrea, did you get the camera yet? I don't get it. Our temps have been upper 80's and 90's. Beautiful outside (other than the wind). But on Thursday for our field trip to the zoo, it's going to be a high of 60! What's up with that!!?? I need to finish laundry today, as well as work on weekly blessing (hey, and it's Tuesday but no Baby C!! Yay!!). Not yet! Can't seem to findNot yet! Can't seem to find a minute to sit down and order it - maybe today! I think I'm getting the deal I mentioned to you - plus it comes with a free printer! Wow! Dinner at my parents' today so no cooking - Up withUp with insomnia.... TADA I am not subbing today so will have this PODA: morning routine We have a rare bird that has been hanging out at our house, a gooster,part goose and part rooster! It lands on our garage roof and says cock a doodle honk...LOL It perches up there like a rooster would but is a goose,too funny. Actually,according to neighbors,this pair has been returning here every spring for about 20 years. How long do they live??? I knew that they were monogamous. I wish they would stay near the pond out back though. Have a good day Heidi Oh Heidi - take a nap todayOh Heidi - take a nap today for goodness sake! And is there really such a thing as a gooster?? Weird! I am taking a sick day - just plain wrung out and exhausted. Battling a bug too. So yes I do have a PODA - but I really need to relax - we'll see - it is mostly small stuff. I'll TADA it later - OMG, Heidi, that is tooOMG, Heidi, that is too funny!! Andrea, you take a nap! Don't worry about flying today. I, however, must. I helped dh with the other water tank yesterday. And I got my garden "rototilled". I say it in quotes because dh didn't get around to fixing my tiller again this year. So I did it by hand with a hoe. But now it's done and ready to plant whenever I get around to buying the plants and seeds. Can't do that alone, after all, it IS dd11s 4-H project. Her slumber party is tomorrow night, so I need to get bathrooms cleaned up and make a few things like her cake and the dip. I won't be here all day tomorrow for DS5s field trip to the zoo. time to go! Sounds like some fun plansSounds like some fun plans Jenny! TADA: Amazing what I can get done when I'm home all day! It was a nice break. Off to DS's game now - looks like rain - Post new comment |
