Good Sunday Morn, Vi's~~ I woke up @ the regular 6:15, rolled over, and the next thing I know I open my eyes and the clock reads 9:47am! Whew! Guess I needed that! The kids were so sweet to let me sleep in. But now I'm up & have to get moving. I have to pop over to the grocery store & purchase the ingredients for the ice cream sandwich cake... I need to bring 2 to the soccer party this eve... this cake is EVIL, I tell you... yet so nummy in its evilness! Happy Birthday, Terry! Pam: You've vacuumed twice in a month now?? Be careful, it could turn into a habit! Nah, I think it's just when you invite folks (even wee little folks like your nephew) over, you feel compelled to tidy... so the lesson for S is that you should invite someone every week! lol!! Laura: Beautiful rainbow pics & I also enjoy the updated you & C pics! Can't wait to see you guys (& everyone) in a couple weeks! Have fun, Tracy! I thought of you this a.m., Judy... the Sunday Morning show did a piece about choruses... there's an increase in the number of folks in them, as well as all the benefits of being in one, etc... interesting stuff, if you could get a transcript (did you see that, Pam? or was it Disney Channel time by then?). Kat: You have more patience than I w/that guy-car-in-the-driveway stuff! Wow! Janie: Did you get anything fun while shopping w/your mom? Suzie: Your backyard sounds so relaxing! Pool AND shade... + ballgames on the radio, burgers on the grill, margi's in the blender... ahhhhh! Jen: More renovation? Wow! Haydee: Have a great time in Cabo!! Have a mango margi for me by the pool!! (You bought one of those orange bathingsuits that gal had on in PS, right?? You will ROCK IT, girl!!) Make it a great day, Vi's!

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 Saturday Morn, Vi's~~ This new thread feels so roomy! :thumbup: Aahhhhhhh. Like comfy pants on Thanksgiving!! :confused: Today I'll be running hither, thither, & yon... from here in town (ds to volunteer @ an antique car show that's raising funds for a new HS stadium)... to dd's barn (1/2 hr away)... all the way to Springfield, Va (1.5 hrs away)... & up & down & back & forth in between. Make it a good one, girlies!

Hey, that's my opinion on life in general, too! :thumbdown: Grady is TOO CUTE! I can't believe how BIG he is!

Jenn, too bad you & Judy aren't on the same flight from Detriot to Huntsville... Am baking my world famous oatmeal raisin cookies right now as I type... mmmmmmm! (as a TY for the folks who are taking DS to the soccer game in Va. tonigiht + for the boys to eat on the loooong drive there). I've got to get some real work in, too! Yikes! There's the dinger... time to change cookie sheets!!

TGIF, Vi's!~~ Busy day... work then lots of driving around this eve... kids here & there... everywhere! DH leaves today for the MS 150-mile bike ride weekend, so it's just me having all the parenting/chauffeuring fun! Make it a good one, girlies!

Laura, did that girl get fired??

Lunchtime check-in... That sounds just like you, Haydee... hosting a shindig while preparing to go on vaca. Juan's b'day! I've been waiting for it! Did errands w/DH all morning (he took today off)... so now it's work all afternoon... bbl...

Good Thursday Morn, Vi's~~ A "regular" day here today... work, errands, etc... amazingly no after-school activities today! School here gets out on Tuesday... the kids are counting the days! Everyone do something nice for yourself today!!

Great idea, Kat! C'mon, it's not that hard... what's one thing you like about yourself: first thing that pops into your head! Go! Me? I'm reliable. I'm funny. I'm loyal. I'm too nice. See... it's easy once you get going!! Now the moving part??? ok, ok... I'll wilt the lettuce if I dance "au naturel" in the kitchen, but I will do some form of conscious excercise. THANKS, KAT!!

How scary, Haydee! Purple power going out to her -- & your whole family, who I'm sure everyone was at the hospital, right? Just got the first chapters of a big project in today... yay!... $$$... :cursing: Big thunderstorms this afternoon & eve... "hail the size of nickles" they said on the news... & it was! I've been sleeping like crap lately, so am going to hit the hay early tonight... sweet dreams!

Make it a great day, everyone!

Hey girlies, Late check-in today, busy day... work, etc. Work... what a concept! lol! But I do do some, every so often! DS has late soccer practice this eve... doesn't start 'til 7:15! oh my. Will take a coffee & my knitting & that should keep me entertained. Enjoy your eves!

Good Saturday Morn, Vi's~~ Congratulations, Heather... what a doll baby!! Enjoy her. A typical busy Saturday taking kids to activities, etc... unbelievably, we have NOTHING planned for tomorrow! That is very rare around here! We want to go see "Up!"... it's getting great reviews & I'm such a sucker for "kid" movies. Enjoy the weekend!

I know I'm in a crotchety mood this week, but all these arrangements are making my head spin! Honestly, I don't care about the food... whoever wants to cook whenever is fine w/me... abut I am leaning more toward the EATING OUT option, because then we can each get exactly what we can & want to eat, + can share + won't have a 'frig full of leftovers at the end of the trip. So I hereby resign from food coordinator... it's a free for all... if someone wants to cook for everyone, great... if not, fine too, something tells me we won't starve!!

That was my thought, too, Pam! We definitely are a wacky bunch. Best wishes, Heather!! Ok, so today is the day! Or rather, 2 hours is the day -- the last PTA meeting / election / resignation! I've had butterflies all day! I just want it to be OVER!

Judy, there's a "restuarant guide" on the list, so there must be some restaurants! :confused: Because everyone's eating styles/tastes are so different, I kinda thought that we'd do our own things for b'fast & lunch... then try to coordinate dinners... that was the approach I was working with... but I am not married to it. For instance, personally, altho I will be on a more "relaxed" food plan for the weekend, I still would like to try to eat healthfully when I can (gives me more cals for drinkie-poos!) Thoughts?

Hey Suzie, I spent $120 @ Sam's Club so we're both doing our part for the economy! I was stocking up on pool snacks, which will be starting soon... my kids get out June 16, and it seems all they do is EAT over the summer! The resignation letter is simply 2 sentences. It could've been just 1, but I had to put a snarky line in there w/ a jab at those who tried to oust me earlier, stupid people, and allude to the fact that I kept my commitment to the school (even though it would've been WAY less stress to quit earlier this spring). This is it: "I hereby tender my resignation from the position of PTA President, effective July 1, 2009. As understood since last June, this concludes my commitment to serve out the first year of the two-year term for which I was elected in June 2008. Best Wishes..." But after tomorrow night, the new Board will be elected & there are no more PTA activities/functions for me to supervise, so basically it'll be just transition stuff... so in my mind I'm "done" tomorrow night. Yay! Am going out for a margi (margis?) afterward! Back to work...

I just posted that above and was like, hey, why did Michelle post the same thing as me??? Ha ha ha ha ha... now THAT's funny! Hey there's a crock pot!

Good Morn, Ladies!~~ That's funny, Pam!! I'll have to go over & see what I wrote about myself! :wub: One day @ a time, TracyKS! Good start! The pics are so cute, TracyK! "toot your flute" Judy? Sounds like a personal problem! :crying: Your day sounds busy but nice, Suzie. Hope you're feeling better today, Janie! Hope the wacky lady leaves your office alone, today, Kat! Laura, I don't think I should go to that slots site... you should've seen my eyes light up when we entered the casino in PS! I had an actual physical reaction... like I'd eaten too much sugar! Yikes! & "peace" Terry?... hmmm... maybe a bit! It's definitely getting there! I'm meeting a friend for coffee @ 10:30... then it's work, etc. the rest of the day. I'm also working on seeing if I can get the last 4 yearbooks that teachers ordered for kids instead... these parents calling me w/their sad tales of woe are breaking my heart! Oh -- & I have to take cat food to the pet shelter as a donation today, too!!! Make it a good one!!

O yeah... IT IS ME! DR. JAZZY

HAHAHA...I am logged in as Michelle!!! I just posted that above and was like, hey, why did Michelle post the same thing as me??? HAHAHAHA NEED COFFEE

I thought Judy, Laura and Carson were sleeping together in a room? Did I dream that or isn't that what was talked about? See Michelle's email about the shopping list about stuff. I will need to go to the store for sure. Laura, do you have oregeno, basil, italian seasoning??? I can buy the rest, but don't think I want to but the seasonings in a baggie and fly w/ 'em...might look like something else. xo

Goodnight, my lovelies... Went to the HS Awards Night & presented the PTA's scholarship award... love doing that! Then FINALLY the PTA treasurer came over (@ 9pm!) so we could finalize the report & forecast out 'til the end of the month & the end of the school year... with all my eagle-eyed micromanagement of the budget, we did pretty well overall... only about $500 under where we wanted to be... which w/smaller profits on fundraisers, I'm ok with. I just typed up my resignation letter, too!! WOOT! I turn that in on Thurs @ the LAST MEETING! Hallelujah! A huge thunderstorm is rolling in... I love t'storms... will go snuggle into bed & listen while I fall off to sleep... G'night!

No, it's not for sleeping... I think we each get our own rooms, now!
