Morning all!!! Im not going to deny that it is morning but im not going to admit to wether its good or not
Hope everyone is having a good day so far, hope you Ausies had a great Thursday!
Well, today is back to work for me. I've been in bed since Sunday. Feeling better this morning, but still tired and dizzy! Oh well. We have a picnic this afternoon at work; I think I'll just grab a quick bite and go home. Tonight I have a school board meeting to go to and I can't miss this one... I'm actually ON the board! Good evening here...11.14pm. I am just about to go to bed. Was a lovely Thursday here, weather mild and beautiful. I have had a restful day.
Good Morning Friends!
How is everyone this morning? Good I hope! I would still be in bed on this rainy, cool morning but Poochie thinks she has to eat every morning! Sheesh! She ate twice yesterday!
Actually waking up and playing in bed with my fur baby first thing always puts me in a good mood.
Glad you're feeling a little better Jas, don't get too tired at work today. Shannon hope you're not coming down with anything, maybe it's allergies
Hope ya'll have a great painfree day
Good Grief! What happened???
Howdy, all! It is a gorgeous fall day in Connecticut. I think I'm going to get my hair cut today. I have an interview tomorrow for a part time job, so I have to get gorgified!
Gonna have a Tag Sale on Saturday, so I have a lot of stuff to do to get ready for that too. (Tag Sale is a Connecticut term - other places it's called a Yard Sale, Garage Sale, etc.).
Jas, have a good nap at the board meeting tonight. Try to be discreet about though and don't fall out in the floor.
Shannon sorry about the sinus nasties going on. I just started using this herbal stuff I bought at Walmart called "Allergy MD" and works pretty well for me, without making me tired. Maybe you could try that and see if it works - if it does then you'll know it's allergies and not a virus. I would think you could do you shot if it's just allergies, right?
Hope today turns out to be a great day for everybody! I plan to make it a great day, no matter what!
Hey Karen
We missed you last night, hope you got rested up. Sounds like a full day planned for you. Hope the interview goes good for yaYeah yeah there's Princess Fatback taking up half the board again...
Well, I told you it was going to be a great day and it is!!! I just got this email from one of my "adopted" kids. He is going to be the best man in my daughter's wedding next August, and has been an important part of our haunted house for many years. You guys might remember his heartbreaking email from Iraq that I posted a few months back. Well here's today's email - I am so excited and relieved!
i'm done! finished, over, out, finit. no more iraq, i'm out of the
country, standying by in kuwait right now for my flight home this
weekend.
its OVER
I'm doing my happy dance now!!!
Its 2am and I am still up
I had my drug induced nap today and got the all clear for both ends of my gut
I should go to bed but I can't be bothered
Goodmorning everyone. I am at work and it is a planning time. I am bored...hope I don't get caught...against school policies so forth. Well, this sickness thing stinks. I have been doing the rinse for my nose and it seems to be traveling down to my chest. I feel so very tired...I could curl up if I could get warm.
One more day to sub...I can't find anything for Monday. I hope it stays that way since hubby mandated that I sub EVERY day humanly possible...with no excuses...oh except the Remicade infusion, cause he says that is necessary. (Nice to have permission)?!
I guess I am in a grumpy bad place. Son got his learners permit, and I am supposed to take him out after work. I love being with him, so I may make it a point before I take a pain pill. (crazy life one just got her driver's license and then boom...permit time. I am not old enough for this even though I am walking like I am 96)
Love to all, but that is all the encouragement I can do.
Good luck with the driving permit, lol. I just went through all that with my boys. Now I am paying for 2 teens insurance -yikes! It is costing us over ,000/yr.
With my first son, I was calm, cool, and collected and we had a ball while he drove me around. By the time 2nd son was practicing, all my patience was gone. Hubby did all the practicing with him. I never hardly drive anywhere now. I hold the fact that we got them cars and pay insur/gas for them over their heads...
I am here. I went to sleep early last night, around 8:30pm. I slept and slept and slept, and woke up to see daughter off to school and then went back to sleep, and then around 8:37am...
I was woke up by footsteps. I heard someone walking around in my room and I looked around and there was no one. So... I got outta bed and hobbled around the house and no one. Son was asleep on the couch and all doors were locked and no cars in the drive and no one out at the pool. So... I went back to sleep and then around 11am I heard foot steps again but this time the fridge door opened and I knew how it was when the deck door opened... it was MIL.
But she said she was not the one who woke me up at 8:37 this morning as she was still in bed at her house.
This is the 3rd darn time I have been woke up by hearing someone walking around in my room. And this was before seeing my "ghost". I was woke up one morning at like 4:30am and I thought it was daughter going to the bathroom, as our bedroom is right next to the bathroom and our door was open. I did not see the bathroom light come on, so I laid there waiting for her to come out and then finally I got up to see if she was in there and nothing. Went to her room and she was asleep. Went to son's room and he was asleep.
I think my "ghost" likes waking me up.
Anyways.... so I am hurting and swelled today. 5mg of pred is not helping out so much at the 30,25,20,15 mg's were. I think I am going to ask hubby to give me my Humira shot tonight. My fingers hurt, my knuckles where my hand is are all nice and pink. My right index finger was throbbing with pain this morning. My right knee has a hard swell and not really bending nor straightening. My back hurts, my neck hurts, and I cannot touch my face with either hand as elbows will not bend enough to let me.
I sat here watching MIL wash my dishes. I guess she got tired of seeing hubby's pile-o-pots on the stove. He washed dishes the other night. *shrugs shoulders*
Oh and the livingroom and dining room... are a mess! Went I went to sleep last night it did not look this bad, TOYS EVERYWHERE! I guess son decided to bring his toys outta his room and mess up the rest of the house. UGH!
I am hungry... not sure what I want to eat. My fingers hurt too much to use a fork or spoon or butter knife. Yeah... I am only allowed to use a butter knife, no sharp, pointy, sheraded knifes.
Mona...How is Trey?
Joonie...I wish I could have slept...as the day goes on I am coughing more and more.
I don't know that I am as frightened of Brandon driving as Eleya. He rides dirt bikes, and has a good concept of how to handle a motor vehicle. For him it will just be the required hours piece. He is also doing driver's ed. Daughter still scares the dickens out of me.
Well, back to work!
Shannon...Ok, who would criticize you for devulging too much on the internet?? If that is true than we must stop this whole thing...and true I better keep my mouth shut. HMMMM!? Shannon! Girl, you have my email AND my phone number!! Course, I'm at work right now so you can't quite call.............shoot me an email hunny if you really need to vent! *hugs* Work is sooooooooooo slow and I'm diggin it! :)
Hubby's bite BIG DONKEY balls, when they are not sleeping on the couch.
I'M BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I told hubby to get in the kitchen and make me some pie LMAO!!
Ok... maybe I just told him I was not cooking today, and if he wanted something to eat he could cook. So, now he is making tacos. And I am about to delete all of his "friends" on MySpace. He sucks! No Joonie, not really. I mean I might, but I'm at work and yeah.........can't get to myspace. Dear Hillhoney I am delighted your kid is coming home. I wish we could take them all home. To those having 'a lovely fall day' I'm so jealous. It is still hot here in Phoenix - triple digits. I refuse to even look at the weather any more. I'm sick of heat like I used to get sick of gloom back in WI.
Oh well... I am better now. I got it outta my system and he made dinner. I think I am like this because I am hurting and annoyed that the rain is moving thru.
Ya know though, this is the first time a storm has come through and I've felt alright!!!!
I've been pretty well pain free since my last RD appt....with only an ocassional use of Flexeril for my neck, which we all are starting to suspect is really just stress and poor sleep related....*does a happy dance* Darn you and your chipper, happy, happy, joy, joy attitude!
Ok... so maybe 15 hours sleep was not good for my mood
But guess what, Katie!? You are still NOT annoying me
Well, I'm doing a happy dance because I got divorced this week!
Awww... cordy... that is what I thought for my hubby. That he deserves better. Damn it! My "U" button fell off my keyboard. I think hubby broke it last night and tried to repair it, and was not successful. Do yo know how hard it is to type witho t a letter U? Damn HIM!
This one does not deserve better, Joonie, he lives his life blaming everyone else for everything he is responsible for...it is always someone else's fault or there is always a situation why he can't be a grown up like the rest of us. He's a prat, darl. Now my "U" is all pressed down below all the other keys. I tried to place it back on and now it is screwed up! Hubby is pissed because I blamed him of doing it. He done IT! I know he did!Thanks, Katiedid, for the lovely things you said, yeah I do feel like celebrating actually. It feels really good to be free of all that at last...I was with him 13 years and married 8 years, good little loyal wife I was.
Ok... now that I am all over my "U" falling off my keyboard. Well, cordy it sounds like he did not deserve you. Glad you can move on and hopefully find someone else that does deserve you.
Ok... I think I need some tequlia!

All I can say is "Hell Yeah"
I bet Lizzie DOES know the answer to that one, too! I have some ideas, but I'm honestly a bit lost on that one as well.
Have a good nap!! Justin just called me. He just "wanted to hear my voice" *melts* God I love that boy!
Then he told me he had a crazy dream. He said that I was mad at him because he ate all the clocks in the house. Everything that told time, he ate. All his watches, the wall clocks, the DVR, etc etc.... LOL
LOL Good! Don't take your shot if your sick! Goober! Yeah... Cordy and Katie are going to be doing the happy dance on top of the bar... just like Pee Wee Herman
Glad Shannon decided not to share her GROSS moment. Since when does RA involve being a blonde
yea so im gonna call the dr tomorrow..maybe w/ any luck he'll call me back..I dont feel like taking the train then the bus to see him. Hes not that cute...ewwww yea if he was cute LMAO Good evening all! Cordy - congratulations on your emancipation papers! By the way, just to clarify, it wasn't one of my sons that was getting out of Iraq - just one of the young kids I call my "adopted" kids. He is actually my future SIL's best friend and will be the best man in my daughter's wedding. So he isn't my son, but we care deeply about him. We are all so relieved he is out. We knew the day was coming soon, but we have all been holding our breath, afraid something would happen right before he got to leave. Whew! Now he sure as heck better not get sent back! One of son's friends, Taylor, is on his way back for the third time! That's just wrong - if you made it through safe and sound on one tour, you shouldn't have to go back unless you request it. That poor kid started out in Afghanistan, then Iraq, and now he's going straight to what he calls "the worst part of Baghdad". He doesn't want to go, but has no choice! I think if I was him mom I would cut off his toe while he was sleeping! Sorry for the rant, but AH Bush is giving his speach right now and I'm a bit pissed off at his ignorance
*looks under the glass coffee table* Nope not there. *looks under the doggie bowl* Nope not there. *Looks in the washer* Nope not there. *Looks in the dryer* Nope not there. Oh it was sooo FUNNY! I told my daughter to get outta my room before I stuck her in the dryer. hehehehee! And my son tried to pick daughter up and carry her off. He said "com'on I put you in the dryer." LMAO!!!
Ok so i used baby powder on the stuid animials that think this is their house...BOY ARE THEY WRONG!!!!! OMG i sooo hate ants....i think i would rather deal w/ spiders then these stupid ants.. Katie~ You've sooo gotta keep that boy around!! Definitly sounds like a keeper. Joonie~ I was gonna reply to you but now I sooo dont remember what I was gonna say.....lol I think i should just go to bed... OHH so what tune did any of your kids learn the days of the week to? Kelsay came home yesterday singing the days of the week to the Adams family...Did I tell yall this already? God i have no idea right now but if I did TOUGH im tell yalls again
Who's YOUR pick for 08? I vote for John Stewart. He'd never run though. I'd love to see a comedian in office.........wouldn't that be a kicker?
Course, everything would probably go to sh*t.....LOL But still. At least for once we'd be entertained along the way!! Didn't Robin Williams make a movie like that? Karen, we'll see about that
KAREN!! LOL!! I have one on my google homepage!!!!
[QUOTE=arriscolwell] Does it involve snot? If it involves snot, I don't wanna know.
LOL Good! Don't take your shot if your sick! Goober! Kelly. You suck. Jas, as you said before, great minds think alike
Because the dems running now, and 4 years ago, are socialists. And they are weak beyond the imagination. I don't believe that the liberal democratic leadership wants to uphold American values and standards and strength and wealth. They want to be Europe. And I'm not for that.Well, I guess I killed the room. And just think, it's only the beginning. But now I have to go to bed, 5 am still comes early. G'nite to all.I was busy catching up on other news and eating dinner...
They are moving this house TWO MILES. And it cost the guy 5,000!!!! It's made it into the road, and that's about it. I keep going out to check on it though. hehe I'd say about 50% of the guests here are out front watching, and taking pictures. The thing is HUGE. And they left all the furniture and stuff in the house. Which is mega weird. But cool!Well, all, I'm gonna hit the hay. I'm still wiped out. I managed to stay awake for tonight's school board meeting (I'm actually ON this school board, so I can't fall asleep!!). I'm off work tomorrow; I've got to walk the kids to school in the morning then I'm going to go back to bed and take it easy.
Well I am off to bed as well...The meds are kickin in and I'm tired from all the ant slaying I have done today....LOL OMG my dog almost caught a mouse...it came out when I was cleaning up the kitchen and she almost got it..Now its buggin the heck outta her that she cant find it..Its very commical actually, she was growling at it earlier, now shes just wining at me like "mom...i cant find it" lol
Well shoot everybody leaving and I just got here
hey Ya'll!
Good night Ya'll
Just checking in to say hi, but don't think I'll be able to hang out tonight. I was off of work today, and stayed in bed all day...didn't even get up until about 5:00 this evening. I'm having terrible neck and shoulder pain, and I'm really nauseated. Probably coming down with something.
Anyway, just wanted ya'll to know I'm thinkin' 'bout ya. I'll try and catch ya tomorrow evening! Hey Brisen! Whats up? Everybody left
Did you get your coffee? Yeah this house thing is amazing. It's so fun! I just got hit on by a really cute guy....hehehehe Whatever Katie "I love that man" (Justin)
SEE! JUSTIN IS AMAZING!!
I KNOW!!!!!
Went to the Rheumy today and not much is changing. He said I could take my MTX by injection if I wanted to but he did not see any reason to for now. Found out that I am sero-poss at 144! I still have not done any research about the #s. RD said it was pretty high
He offered to increase the remicade to 6 weeks instead of 8 but I told him I was not sure yet, but that I would call if I needed to change it. All in all I was a little frustrated by his seeming impatience. I can't complain I supose he did answer every question I asked. LOL Thanks. :) Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm off work in about 15 minutes, and we're probably going to loser our power here shortly. So they can get the house past us!!
Night night!!!!! I am here for a little while. I was kicking hubby's Bootay at Magic, and he is acting like a BIG baby now. Well, I was gonna say it's not snot it's SNOT!
Hey Joonie don't play with hubby any more he cheats How is the bootay kicking going. My daughter bought a box of MAGIC cards online for like 100 bucks for her boyfriend. When they came she started just tearing them open and he FREAKED out. "You can't do it like that. You have to open them a certain way!" Big baby I thought it was funny and LMFAO I cheat my hubby when we play games or cards
He never notices but the bad thing is he usually wins
BTW Joon did you hear from the Drs about your Remecade? Hi Mona, I feel okay just the usual stuff! Aches a pains here and there but nothing to major. I think my main concern is to make sure the RA is not doing lots of damage. Thanks for asking though. Hahaha Jay! My hubby is not like that. Because if he was, then he would not get to buy any cards! But he will not let me play with the RARE cards. *rolls eyes* It is a pretty fun game... I learned to play while we were dating. I use to kick him & his friends bootay's most of the time. Daughter HATES to play with us. She asks us to play with her, and then when we do and we attack one of her "favorite" creatures and it "dies" she starts to cry, because she knows she is gonna lose. So Actually daughter is a BIG BABY and hubby is a BIG baby.
Case in point hubby will not play scrabble or even upwords with me anymore, because I win all the time. And he is the one who uses BIG words I do not even know what they mean. He says I cheat, but I do not, if the Dictionary says it is a word than it is a word, DAMNIT! eeewww you can't wait til December! Are they crazy? Sheesh! It a miracle anyone gets any relief from ra ever
Glad you're mostly ok Jay
I am getting sleepy. Joonie I am very sleepy too, haven't got much sleep this week worrying about Trey
I think I will go to bed early for a change or my neck and shoulders are going to give me a fit! I'll talk to ya later. Nite nite sweetie
I CAN'T STAND JON STEWART!!! Many years ago, before anyone knew who he was, we saw him at a comedy club. He was SOOOO drunk/loaded (not sure what or what combination, but definitely altered). He made really gross "jokes". They were disgusting, embarrassing, filthy (and I don't usually mind that, in moderation). But everything out of his mouth was racial slurs, filthy, extremely degrading to women (many of these), and he was so altered that he was slurring, falling down, and making no sense half the time. He made one very over-the top disgusting remark about women, that was one too many! I was so incredibly offended, that I got up and walked out. That is something I never, ever do. I'm basically a live and let live kind of person, but I just had to make a stand. Just think of all the language that is as crude as possible and degrading to women and it was in this remark. My precious husband followed me out, and was followed shortly by the remainder of our group. Okay, sorry, everybody. That was something I had to get off my chest. The mention of his name brought back the whole ugly night. I'm am now officially off my soap-box So, Good Night, All. Hope you all sleep well. Hugs all around, Nini
I thought I actually deserved a real man who was not selfish and would love me whether I had RA or not because there is no doubt my ex had plenty of his own 'stuff' none of which was being dealt with and it is was all MY fault according to him. Still is...now he can't get it up because the divorce hadn't gone through...on and on it goes.
I want some maturity.
So it is definitely a happy dance moment, sorry Joonie when you are trying so hard to be grumpy.
Oh wow Cordy! Nevie sure is a smart cookie!!! How old is she again??She is five and a half, Katie but very intelligent and perceptive. She has that ancient wisdom about her that some kids do where they are in little bodies but they sound like 80 year old sages.
She has been through a heap of grief over Dad but now has him pretty much sussed out. He is not fooling her besides I speak to her fairly honestly about what is happening. He hardly ever sees her or bothers to call.
This is why it is so important I stay on my feet and be as well as I can. I am it. I am this kid's world, her rock, her only parent. She needs me so I have to do what I can to keep hanging in here even if that means taking Rituxan or whatever. I will be all crippled up yet on my feet, shuffling around to do what I need so I am there.
She's a darling and deserves better than Damian also.
Cordy, we can do the happy dance together.....
Oh bless your heart Cordy! And Nevie's too!! Not trying to stick my foot in your house here, but don't be too much of a rock. If you break one day, it will crush her. At some point she's going to have to face the idea that mommy isn't totally well. But I'm sure you've already thought about that, and are planning the day to ease it into her life! Five is much too young for all this mess, isn't it???Yeah, but hey that's why I have you guys where I don't have to be a rock all the time because you all know I am not, even though I am strong.
Five is way too young and I am as honest with her as I can be in an appropriate way about how unwell I am but she forgets that crawling up on me makes me hurt or bouncing on me does the same.
So I am trying to work out how to face that Mummy isn't totally well, but I don't quite know how to do it. I must ask Liz that when she gets back on, I have a feeling that she may know how to do that one.
SNOT
Why is that Link?
I can't believe I'm the only one up.....we're sitting here watching Independence Day. I love this movie. :)
