I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Busy day here too. Grandson has been here, got my house all clean, laundry done, groceries bought and put away....and we too are headed off to softball. Then we are all going to dinner after that. Rick pitched in and helped all day, was nice. He even did the sweeping and mopping in the kitchen!!! yay!!!

Will try to get back in, just not sure when. As much as I am really liking my job, it sure cuts into my Violet time!!!

Love you all!!!

Good evening, Violets..

We're home and exhausted. Will check in tomorrow. Everyone sleep well..

Night everyone.

Oooh I see Laura is on!!! More baby pics??? Hope you are taking it easy Laura!!

Good Morning Girls.

Ahhh, a new week. No rain in sight and temps are supposed to get up into the 70's. Can't get to much better than that.

Hope all our happy travelers are back home safe.

I sure do miss TracyKS posting here. I'm hoping all is well with her and her family. Wonder how Robbie is holding up.

Have a great day and I'll check in after I get home from work.

Good Monday Morn, Vi's~~

A new week... I wonder what surprises it holds??

Make it a good one!

Smooches!

Good morning sweeties!

I had a great weekend even though it was raining most of it! I actually got away by myself (which is a story in itself) and I really needed that. I went to my moms and to the casino for a little while. Didn't win but that wasn't the goal, so I wasn't disappointed.

My weight is still about the same...I am guessing. It feels the same.

Jennifer?

Hey Girls~

Well back to life today:w00t:...quick spring break! Next year I wanna go to Sedona for sure. Oh well...I did get a lot done over the break!

39 more days of school! Se Si Puede!

We start state testing next week which is a big pain...but unavoidable. I have the kids ALL MORNING and they can not take a break during the testing 2 hour block. That is the hard part. But after a few weeks, testing is over and then WE ALL COUNT DOWN!

I didn't work out this morning...need to get in super early. I need to prep and my friend decided to leave her husband for her girlfriend (yes you read it right...I guess lesbianism is contagious) and we need to dish. I am going w/ her to look at a condo after school.

Have a great day peeps! I'll log in from work.

My dear Vi's...

Please keep me in your good thoughts this morning. I've just been called in on the carpet w/the principal & vice principal of the ES... I go @ 10am... it's about the "incident" I may or may not have referred to last week... well, the poop is hitting the fan. I am nervous as all get-out, BUT... I am righteous in my actions and feel that I can be confident and clear in expressing it to them. Oh the drama. And to think after 9.5 yrs at that school, I *almost* made it out of there w/out this type of big scene/issue/blowup... fewer than 2 months to go!! Man oh man.

Anyhoo... send me the purple power for self-confidence & self-control!!

Good luck Michelle~ If shit is gonna hit the fan...OWN IT...apologize, and move on. Just dont be one of those, "I didn't know/do it/ blahblahblah".

It is always better to ask for forgiveness than permission!

xoxoxo

Good Morning, Violets..

I slept in until 9:30 this morning. Ethan doesn't come until noon so I took the opportunity to be lazy. I drove most of the way home yesterday so I was really tired.

It's a very, very dreary day here today. NO sun and pouring down rain. We had planned to work in the backyard this morning, but certainly can't now. The only bright spot is that we don't have any snow in the backyard now. The town we left yesterday got 2 inches of snow last night and it's still snowing there. I hope we don't end up getting any. I want to open my pool up this week sometime.

Michelle.. Purple Power sent to you from me. Hope all goes well for you.

Laura.. you'll be home today with you new little boy. This first week is going to be a struggle, but just remember... this too shall pass and you have lots of wonderful days ahead with Carson. I can't wait to snuggle up with him in June.

PamELa... I remember all those countdowns. The best one was the countdown to retirement. Now I'm counting down to social security in August.. woooo hooooo.

Suzie... is your pool open yet?? I hope we can get some of that warm weather soon.

Kat.. I'm glad you're enjoying your job even though it cuts into Violet time. It sounds like an ideal situation and that they really appreciate you. If I didn't have Ethan and Grady, I know I'd be looking for a part time job somewhere. But they are my job right now and I'm enjoying that a lot.

Off to find some "brunch" and then get dressed for the day. Everyone make it a good one. Let us know how things went today, Michelle. I'm anxious to hear.

Good Morning!!

Michelle good thoughts to you this monring!!

I am going this morning for a fill, and a weigh in. I am scared of the scale!!

Okay I am off!!!

I am posting from the airportvon my iphone so pardon the typos . We had a wonderful time in jax -- can't wait to get home and catch up on Carson & laura!!

Missed u guys !

Oh, I need Haydees actual address if anyone has it. I have the p.o. box number and got that mail returned. I need to send her the hair stuff I said I would send her a month ago or so!!! If someone has it and can email it to me I would appreciate it!!!

Michelle, I'm sending purple power your way. I hope everything turns out well and you can put this behind you quickly . . . whatever it is. Sometimes these things always seem worse when you are in the midst of them but are no big deal a week later.

Laura, How was your first night at home? :0)

By the way Judy what were you and Bob doing nine months before the kids. Is your anniversary in September?

My thoughts exactly, lol. You can time 'em any closer than that.
