And we are back!! Just was ready for a fresh start, and it was taking so long to load the page...let the banter begin! xoxoxoxoxo:thumbup::cursing::Banane34:

I'm here! I'm here!

Me too!!!!!:tongue2:

Me too!!

Got Kris's kitchen cleaned up, two loads of laundry done for her and planted the rest of the veggie garden and weeded most of it. Whew.. I'm tired!!

Came home and finished the mulch edging around the pool and planted all the things I grew from seed except the tomato plants. Just have some ferns I got from ebay to plant now.

Off to a rehearsal at 4. Will be back later.

I'm here!

Judy, such a good mama!

Oh me oh my . . . I was sooo busy with Ayla's first birthday party, I didn't check the forum for a little while and find out everyone is pregnant, lol. Well maybe not everyone, but I am really excited none the less.

Congratulations Haydee and Lara. It is hard not to be a little jealous now that my little girly girl is 1 and leaving babyhood far behind, lol.

I'm still in a state of shock, I can't believe how fertile we turned out to be..and to think I was going to be doing fertility testing at one point!!

Really? I didn't realize that. Why were you gonna do fertility testing if you hadn't even tried?

Heather, are you done having babies? You don't want one more? :tongue2:

I made chicken tetrazzini for dinner. Made it so fast! Had it in the oven in less than 15 min. I wish every nights meal was like this.

I'm watching "behind the scenes of Saturday night fever". Love that movie! Love the soundtrack. I think that was the first tape I ever bought.

Good morning, Violets..

Can't post much here, I have upteen countdowns to manage.. whew!:tongue2:

Rainy, dreary day here today. Glad I got things done in the yard yesterday. Bob got the backyard lawn mowed at 9:30 last night. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week and the grass needed to be mowed, so he couldn't wait.

Guess I'll be working inside today. Off to my hospital shift, then practicing flute for a while before choir tonight.

Everyone have a great day!!

Ha! You can run, but you can't hide!! I found you!! :tongue2:

Busy w/last week of school stuff (picnics, meet the coaches night, baking for teachers, thank you notes & gifts) + work + regular stuff, + getting ready for Sat's party... phew!

Loved last night's Glee! That version of "Over the Rainbow" is one of my all-time fav songs.

Have a great day!

Aww, I didn't watch glee last night. Juan doesn't like it very much so I always watch it the next day after work.

Nothing much going on here. I'm starting the thank you cards tomorrow because who knows how long its gonna take my photog to get the cards to me. I'm gonna go find some really nice stationary and get to it. I don't feel good waiting so long to get them out...

Another dreary day here. Lots of rain scheduled. I have two weddings this weekend but its supposed to clear up but its supposed to be hot hot hot

Me too!!

Judy, would you be interested in adopting a 30-something with ready-made grandbabies already in tow . . . I could sure use a little help from time to time, lol. :thumbup:

Heather, are you done having babies? You don't want one more? :thumbup:

I think I might want one more . . . and my husband has been talking about it since we were in the hospital with Ayla, lol.

However, I think for me it is optimum to have 3-4 years between them. That way there is less rivalry and the older child can really feel a part in bringing up their sibling.

When I say helping to bring up the younger child, I am talking more about teaching sharing, caring, learning to speak with each other, learning how to play games with each other, etc. I come from a very large family with six children and the closest siblings in my family are never the ones closest in age.

Hey Girls~

Watching Monster House for the 1000000th time! Gotta love the second to last day...Bingo, Checkers, mazes, word searches, movies...teachers frantically cleaning their desks!!!

LOVED Glee...omg, what an outstanding show! Loved the music and the message...and when the kids sang to Will (my boyfriend), I cried! A friend of mine sent me a Glee hat she got last year at the XGames. It is red too!

Went to a nice gay bar last night and played Bingo! It was fun! Really beautiful place...great drink specials too.

Other than that...we are hanging in. Susanne works for Palm Springs High graduation tonight too, sooooo she left the house at 5:40am and will get home about 8 tonight! Poor thing...good overtime, but she'll be tired and cranky.

Tomorrow after school, we are having Jackie, Melissa, Jenny, BA, and Annette over for bbq and swimming. They will bring all the food too! I have some brownies I might make tonight for the girls...depends if I want the oven on!

Went to Del Taco for breakfast w/ Jenny. She is my bff and I don't know if I mentioned it, but she got bumped and has to work at another school next year! Soooo sad...f*&king budget cuts. So the "regular classes " (not mine, I teach English Language Dev.) will have 40+ in our classes, and she has to teach 5th grade! We don't "belong" to our schools, but to the district. At anytime we can be moved. On the upside, she at least still has a job...the district laid off 34 teachers for next year:mad::thumbup:. Soooo sad.

I am sure I'll think of more to say, lol...pop in later during intermission:biggrin::smile:

Good afternoon, Violets..

Still a dreary day here. Very cloudy, misty and chilly. Not a day to do anything outside.

I only got to see the last part of Glee last night, but it was sooooooo good. Loved the interaction with Sue and Will and who she voted for in Regionals.

Off to fix a sandwich for lunch and then practice some for a concert on Sunday.

Really? I didn't realize that. Why were you gonna do fertility testing if you hadn't even tried?

Because, I have been on b/c since I was 14 to regulate my periods, and when I was off of b/c I wouldn't have a period for 6m, then I would have one long heavy one for 2-3m straight. Then they discovered my left kidney is down in my uterus area, not on the left side of my body like it should be. So my gynos for years told me they didn't think I'd be able to get pregnant very well, or sustain a baby with the kidney (something about as it grows, it may hinder growth, blah blah). Dec of 09 my doc was going to do a dye test to see where everything flows around the kidney to look at moving it, then I ended up pregnant when I went off b/c.

Ends up they were all wrong, I think Carson just pushed the kidney out of his way!

Anywho, Heather I wanted to wait till C was about 4 before having #2. Russ wanted #2 right away (like literally!).

I told him I'd compromise and we could plan for #2 when Carson turned 2.. then the more I thought and thought about it, I realized the closer they are together, the better chance (I know this doesn't guarantee anything!!) they will be GREAT FRIENDS when they grow up.

I know me and my brother (2 years apart) were best friends till my sister came along (6 years after me). And I've never been close with her, she's always been too young and immature to me. Russ' brothers are idiots, but they were all close growing up (all 1.5yr between each), and they both really look up to him and they get along and talk, etc. etc.. much unlike me and my siblings!

No going back now, I've been reading about how to introduce a new baby to a toddler, addressing the jealousy and it said 'many toddlers ask their parents to send the baby back'. OH DEAR.

It's thundering but not raining here, we need some rain though.

I LOVED GLEE LAST NIGHT!! And poor Rachel, her mom adopting another teenage pregnancy's girl is not going to make her feel better. The music was good last night, UNLIKE last week, I was so disappointed last week.

Here is a funny video Russ sent me, it's Sue doing some.. actually, I don't know what it's for, but it's pretty funny.. I love her character everytime she is on; I'm use to seeing her as a doctor or lawyer as cameos in tv shows, or the dean in L Word.
