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!!

Good Morning Ladies.

Rain again today. and cold. Only in the 60's all day.

I woke up around 12:30 having to go to the bathroom and ended up having a charley horse on my shin. Boy is that hard to walk off. I walked and massaged for a long time. Finally crawled back into bed and let it calm down. Woke up at 4:30 and it's still calm but very sore. It's gonna make working out this morning a little touchy.

Terry, Hannah is driving now??? Good Luck.

Good morning friends. I just read the posts and now I will have to be back later after I bring dd to school...

respect the pouch!

Morning Girls~

Last night, I was starving and very excited as I cooked dinner. I decided to make hamburgers and had some pot. salad and baked beans. Well, in my hunger and haste, I took too big of a bite...got it down, then another...OOOOWWWW! I slimed and puked for 20 minutes. KLAUSY LOVES THE BAND!!! He lives outside only, and I always PB in the kitchen sink (w/ the disposal and cold water running) and he can hear it...he starts "knocking" on the door when he hears me. He got the rest of the burger and I threw the rest away. It was so bad, I think I puked EVERYTHING I've ever eaten. My tummy hurt (almost burned) so I went to DQ...and it felt so good to eat the cold ice cream. Sucks...Sus ate 2 burgers and seconds of everything...it looked really good! Sigh...o well! So I will eat oatmeal and cottage cheese today to let the band rest. I am making lemon chix for dinner, but will take REALLY small bites, and have some mashed pots too.

Well, it is Wednesday! 13 days of school and 2 days until the girls get here! YEAH!!

Pop in later...have a great day!

xoxoxoxo

Good morning, Violets..

It's a dreary, rainy day here today and the temp is 48. It's only supposed to get up to 55 today. No working outside, instead I'll be pricing clothes for a garage sale on Saturday. Ethan comes at 11 for the day and I have a couple of meetings and choir. A busy day as usual.

I'm trying to get my breakfast to go down. Egg, sausage and cheese. They are going down slowly.

Off to get dressed and get ready for Ethan. Everyone have a great day.

Yeah, I have to be really careful with hamburger, too. I have to make a very conscious effort to chew chew chew and still I have to eat slowly. I have been where you were last night...but maybe not QUITE that bad! That one sounds like a doozey. Do you ever try the papaya enzymes? They actually work pretty good for me.

Yes, Suzanne - Hannah has her permit now!! I'm too old for this sh*t.

Evan called last night to let us know that he's fine and working the program. Also....that there's a famous movie/TV star there but, sorry, I can't tell you who it is. He also found out that Stevie Ray Vaughn (my all-time musical hero) did his stint there, too. He's impressed and I guess it gives the program some credibility, so that's good.

Kat - that is so scary about your SIL!!! You said all along that she wasn't taking care of herself and now the chickens have come to roost, eh? What a shame. It didn't have to be that way.

Good morning!! Guess what? I am running late!!! Bye and have a good day!!

Hi, Terry, Tracyk, Tracyks, Kat, Pamela, Suzanne, Michelle, Laura, Carson, Haydee, Judy, Jenn, Heather, and -100lbs!!

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good morning. It has been a little cold the last few days as well after a really warm and comfortable week last week.

Laura, everyone has mentioned soy . . . that just reminded me that I had to switch my son to soy as well for his problems but I can't remember when I switched to soy based formula.

I could sure go for a nice salad for lunch :0). The only question is where to get it, lol.

Macy had to switch to soy as well....

Quick fly-by...

Got my Cali mani, pedi, 'brow wax this a.m.... am trying very hard not to chip the mani... this is why I never get them, they last all of about 10 mins w/me & my busy hands... so we'll see! I still have SO much to do before Friday, so I feel overwhelmed, but then I remember that Friday is almost here, so I feel elated... I go back & forth!... I am wacky!

Pam... what's the weather forecast? It's cold & wet here now, too... bleh.

Let's guess who Terry's movie star in treatment is!! Movies AND TV?... hmmmmm... would help if we knew M or F... Lindsay Lohan's not back in, is she??? (I know, I am evil!!)

Michelle - it's an older male so not as exciting as your guess. Put an extra coat of clear polish on your manicure...that'll help. And wear gloves when your hands are in water. I've even gone so far as to wear latex gloves when cooking to protect my mani from the constant hand-washing....then I got hooked on using latex gloves all the time! I ALWAYS use them when messing with raw chicken, pork and hamburger...or dipping things in batter.

LOL Michelle, I was thinking the same thing.. I was going to play the guessing game based on the news I've heard lately, Lindsay Lohan came to mind.. I know Amy Winehouse just went back.. hm.. you could e-mail us Terry, ya know I send ya'll music releases that aren't suppose to be released to the public :thumbup:

I am thinking of swapping to soy, waiting till my doc appt. on June 16 to find out their thoughts on the cereal and soy (it's a husband/wife team, both peds and both see him).

The bad part is, and I'll just have to suck it up.. I bought a $200 several cases of the ready to feed, we're almost through that and I just ordered $200 cases of the powdered..was going to swap, figured he'd be ok for powdered by now.. I think I'm wrong, and if we swap to soy that's a crap load of powder that may be wasted.. like I said, may just have to suck it up. Feeding babies is SO EXPENSIVE. I wish the breastfeeding worked out, I think he'd not be having these problems.

Russ' parents came down this past weekend to see him (first time they've seen him since he was born).. and his mom brought his baby book! Russ always lied to me and said his mom has no pics of him as a baby.. she sure did, and a baby book :cry_smile:

I learned some interesting things. Russ has BIG brown puppy dog eyes.. Carson has my small eyes and they are blue.. well Russ' newborn pic looks just like Carson, small eyes and they were blue. Also in his baby book it says he was allergic to normal formula and had to swap to soy-- I asked his mom how she knew, she said he broke out in a bad rash all over his face. Carson has this too, but I *think* it's baby acne. Google image search of baby acne looks like what he has, but again I'll let the docs confirm. Maybe he is just allergic to the milk products.

I had to switch Hannah to soy, too. She was inconsolable many evenings and spitting up a LOT. Switching to soy helped but didn't eliminate the problem.

Maybe you can return the formula you have ordered...or at the very least you can donate it to a food bank and get a deduction.

Oh, and if you think feeding them is expensive... let me advise that you probably should start saving NOW for auto insurance.:thumbup:

Laura, a very kind & generous thing to do w/the formula if you don't use it is to donate it to a food bank because I know that's an issue w/a lot of folks who are down & out w/the economy... wasn't it a couple months ago there was a story about a mom in Fla who nearly accidently killed her baby because she was watering down the formula for $ reasons & didn't know any better? So sad. Just a thought.

Older male... hmmmmm...
