Mommies Rock Share Café

Laura~ You're not the "bad guy" for keeping your kid safe. They are for letting it continue without trying to handle it first thing. Do you know what would happen with my job if I did that??? Yeah....what job???

Stacy~ Boo on the ped. leaving. Ansley's ped. was killed in a car accident right after Ansley turned 2 and it was so heartbreaking for us!! We'd been through so much and we knew that he knew Ansley and all of her quirks. It took a long time to trust the new dr. fully and it's still the former guy's name in my phone for the office!

Lindsay~ Dare I ask how religious beliefs fit into a services meeting??? Interesting......

Jess~ I hope you get relief from the heartburn. I had it one time bad enough to think I was having a heart attack.....HORRIBLE!! After that there was a note to self to stay away from cajun food until after the arrival of the twins!

Ansley was fine by lunch yesterday!! Whatever it was was short lived and she was in full swing this morning for school.

The principals of the new schools were named tonight and I have a feeling that we'll find out something soon regarding where we'll be heading for next school year. I'll be fine, but hopefully I'll be somewhere that Ansley will be comfortable with as well.

Tracy - Hi:) We were talking about something and then it went to "well, I don't know how spiritual you are, but . . . " It was just upsetting. It was unprofessional and the focus was taken off of our kiddo. The guy is actually leaving and moving to another department/cubicle, so thankfully we'll be assigned a new coordinator very soon.

Laura..thats so funny you said that with the almonds and millk....tried doing that during the day yesterday figuring i would ease the acid way before bed...umm....BAD idea. The milk made me terrible. I am a total idiot but.. I never can drink milk but usually just run to the bathroom and get queezy...yeah...acid at 5:00 I'm a dummy

Lindsay..really dont know why anyone would be bringin religion into a meeting...just give you the services and but out.

Laura....your not the bad guy at all...there gonna brush you off hoping you go away...I would be a bulldog if I were you. how dare they. Go after them.

ps we having someone coming tomorrow night to look at our apartment...wish us luck...need to pay the mortgage and that would totally help ...fingers crossed they are normal and take it

Hey all! Happy (very belated) Mother's Day! Hope it was beautiful for all of you.

There's no way I'm going to remember 73 posts. Massive brain fry. And it's just been kind of a bummer of a week. Where's that cabana boy? Does he still give massages?

Sixteen more school days here. Can't come soon enough. We all need something to give around here. Oy.

Happy thoughts and hugs!!

Hi girls... been eons since I stopped in. I'm so busy trying to keep up with work, the girls, the house and artwork that my head is spinning most days. wish I could clone myself.

let's see what I remember.

jess, congrats! Sorry about the heartburn. I had it too. I made sure to move around a lot after eating, which helped somewhat. Doesn't take much for heartburn during pregnancy.

Lauren: Micah is too cute. he sounds like a little mobster.

Stacy: what are you doing in little rock? How is elim. When does Charles leave?

Donna: remember when you told me that age 3 was worse than age 2? Oi vey. I'm ready to tear my hair out with kaelin somedays
sorry to hear about the girl bothering Grace. has that resolved at all?

Lorena: how is work?

Forgive me.. I'm on my phone. hate autocorrect!

Erin

Modems: how is work? Long hours?

Ignore the modems and my reference to artwork. I meant yardwork!;

Erin~ I think the pics give you the perfect reasons to have autocorrect!!! I was about to comment that I didn't know you were artsy, but now that it's yardwork....I understand!

Jess~ I hope the heartburn eases up......

Donna~ Hope those days fly by! Ours are.....only 2 more!!!

News today---I'll be teaching 2nd grade next year. I'm okay with that. It's been a while since I had 2nd grade, but I guess I can readjust. Really, they're all the same....some are just taller.

T- hooray! !!

Tracy - I love second grade. They're old enough to carry on a conversation and start to critically think, but young enough they still like school and respect their teachers. Have fun!!

Jess - Oy on the heartburn. Hope you find relief.

Erin - artwork, yardwork....lol. Girls are adorable!!! And 3 is absolutely atrocious. I started counting down the days until he turned 4 the day after Ethan turned 3. Good luck!! And as for the girl drama at school, yes it has eased up a bit. Thanks for asking!

Ahhhhh....need massive amounts of coffee today. Went to bed late, and then Ethan was in my bed grinding his teeth all night. Made me grind my teeth so then I had to get up to find my mouth guard. Bible study this morning, and then a quiet afternoon until Grace's band concert tonight. Wonder if I can get away with wearing ear plugs?

Erin- I'm with you 3. was not my favorite. I think 2 was much better.

Tracy- Yay! I am so glad you got your assignment. Boy, they really kept you guys guessing until the end.

Jessica- Good luck with the renters.

We have two more weeks of school left. Abigail is sad. She doesn't want first grade to end but we have a big summer planned with my work which is why I have been MIA and will be more so in June/July. My students are done. Graduation was interesting but fun and now the undergrads return to the lab on Monday so another big upheaval.
Does anyone have a big weekend planned? My parents are here so they are running errands and going to babysit. Yay. So ready for a night out. Have a great day.

Tracy - Oh, 2nd grade:) I hope that will be an okay transition for you. I'll have a 2nd grader next year. Hope the last few days of school end well for you. I know it's going to be a huge pain to pack up (again)

Donna- Yuppers, counting down the days! Exciting, but sad that another school year is here and gone.

Erin - I was laughing at the artwork. I was thinking, wow, she's an artist too?! That's awesome! Although, I think we're all sort of creative artist people in our own ways. For us, it was the terrible three's:)

Jess - Hoping those people will jump on the apartment:) Keeping fingers crossed:)

Ellen - I know. My first grader is thinking that he is going to have the same teacher next year for 2nd. I'm reminding him that he's going to have a different teacher and he's a bit sad. We rolled our eyes at a few things his teacher did (way too much candy), but in the end, our son learned A LOT from him. Have fun on your night out:)

Mr. T has speech today. Taking my car in tomorrow. Got to be the starter or the fan belt (or both). Come on car, hang in there! I opted for that 2-year renewal on tags, so hoping it will endure another year.

I can't help but boast about it but, Tori got discharged from Pulmonology this morning. Yes, I cried! Yes, we both cried this morning at 6am to be at Children's by 8. She's growing up, you guys. Wiping poop on the walls today, graduating college tomorrow. I'm so proud, I could pinch myself.

bbl...

Liz - That's WONDERFUL!!! It happens too fast . . .

Liz - Yay Tori!!!

Lindsay - fingers crossed for your car! Hard thing for kids to grasp that they change teachers every single year, unless you're my boys and have the same teacher for 2nd and 3rd (can I get an Amen??!!)

Ellen - Wahoo for a night out!

Weekend plans....hmmmm.... annual art festival at school tomorrow. Grace and a few of her ballet classmates are dancing (one of her dance teacher's kids go to our school). Saturday is baseball for Ryley and a slumber party for Grace. I tried to talk Michael into getting a sitter for the boys Saturday night, but he's having none of it. Grrrrr

Liz~ Woohoo for Tori's big girl self!!!

Lindsay~ Ansley just happened to get the same teacher for 2nd and 3rd, but it was all thanks to the fruit basket turnover that we all did last year. It was wonderful for the transition to the new school though.

Donna~ Sounds like another busy busy weekend for you! I have an idea, why don't you and I go out and leave Michael with the boys!??!!

Ellen~ I'm curious of what all the fun will be about this summer!!

One more day...... Hopefully most of my kids will go home with parents after their awards ceremony in the morning! Can I get some fingers crossed??????

I've taught 2nd grade before for whoever mentioned that and there are "benefits" to teaching that age group too. My take on the whole teaching thing is that they're all the same, some are just taller than others.....

Gotta get my rest....lots of packing to do!

Jessica: How are you doing? Heartburn any better?

Erin: Just getting away for a couple of days and eating at all our old favorite restaurants!

Donna: Ewww, I hate grinding teeth, Elim did that for one day and I couldn't stand it!

Liz: YAY for being discharged, that's fabulous news!!!

At the father in laws house now! Have limited computer access, the only computer is in the room Elim sleeps in with no wireless internet so I can only get on while he's awake! Hope you're having a great week! We're headed home tomorrow late morning.

Liz, I seriously laughed at "wipping poop on the walls today graduating college tomorrow" So exciting that she got discharged from pulmonary.

Tracy, if I lived closer I would totally help you pack. I actually like to pack, it's part of my organization OCD - lol.

I've been cancelled three times at work this week, so frustrating. I like the extra time with my kids but I need the money from working. Oh well, complaining about it isn't going to change that I was cancelled. On the bright side, it gives me time to get the house cleaned.

Stacy, safe travels!
Tracy-Packing. eww. I don't even like packing for vacation, let alone, moving.
Laura, hahaha, it is true. Also, I'd be extremely frustrated if I got cancelled 3 times in one week. I have to eat, too.
Ellen, nights out, excellent!!
Donna, Arts festival sounds cool.

Me? Headache behind my left eye, Grimm season finale tonight! YaY! Dinner, then outside to play for a couple hours before bedtime.

bbl....have a good weekend, too!

Ooo....Laura!! You'd probably have an inventory spreadsheet for me too!!! Sure need one....but totally don't have the time to worry with all that! You would be proud of me in that I have packed "liked" things together and I'm labeling the boxes. That's better than last year when I crammed it all in a box and headed on!

HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!!! A SHARE MOMMY HAD GREAT NEWS TO SHARE IN HER BLOG!!!! GO CHECK IT OUT!!!

Hello girls, you had been chatty this week and so many things going around here......

Ellen: I do have big plans for the WE, my niece's wedding, and my kids are coming, since V is flower girl and S is carrying the rings.... I love kids that love school, glad Abby is doing fine and enjoying her school......

Liz: Hooray for Tori's discharge from pulmonary.... huge step and a less worry for you....

Tracy; I like 2nd graders, as Donna said, they can manage alone, and they love their teachers..... Good luck with the moving.... Is Ansley also moving with you from her school??

Donna: Poor Grace, I read about the horrible girl.... I would have search that girl and shake her by the shoulders, I remember I read a case in US, were a mother hit some teenager girls, because they were hitting her daughter, and she was charged with injuries to minors, I think that if the judge was a mother would let that mom free, there is nothing worst that to watch our kids suffering....

Lindsay: Hahaha... that is funny, the teacher you don't like D likes, it happens..... wow already a 2nd grader, huh? they grow so fast.... And I don't like ppl you don't know questioning your spiritual life.....

Erin: I loved those pic, the girls are getting so big..... haha I also don't like that autocorrect in my phone..... oh girls' drama, miss V is also driving insane with all her crying and drama.....

Lauren: I know you can beat all odds, and beside even a 0.001% is fine..... ...hugs.....

Jessica: ugh heartburn..... I still remember those, call me crazy but I insist since my last pregnancy my stomach is not the same...

So I eneded the job, It was getting worst, and I talked with my friend and he said that they couldn't hire another lawyer, and that he understood my point, but they need somebody that handle both areas..... so he said he will called me for another cases, and I am welcome to the office if I change my mind......at least I dusted some dust from my brain, and refreshed some memory...

Tomorrow is the wedding, we are staying the whole WE at the hotel..... I finally have a dress..... miss V dress is beautiful..... I had a hurrying week, my decoration course finish next week and I am preparing my presentation.....

Here is a pic of miss V at Mother's Day ......

Lorena~ First of all......ADORABLE!! Miss V is the cutest little thing ever!!

Yes, Ansley will be moving with me. The school that we're at now is completely closing. We're closing two elementary schools in our county and consolidating into the other 3 schools.

You can imagine the chaos of everyone in the county moving at the same time!!! One school will be Headstart and Pre-k, one will be Kindergarten and 1st grade, and the other will be 2nd-4th grade. The fifth grade teachers are moving to the middle school so that school will be 5th-8th. Phew.....I get tired just thinking about it!

Today is my younger nephews last t-ball game for the season! I'm gonna miss getting to watch that entertainment each week. They are totally hilarious!!!

Someone asked about weekend plans.......nothing spectacular or fun, but sometimes that's the fun part!!

Lorena - Miss V is so precious!!! I know it's hard when you feel like you're letting someone down workwise, but sanity is more important. Nice that there are keeping an open door policy and will call you for future cases. The wedding sounds like it will be wonderful and so glad that you were able to find the right dress for your girl. Have fun this WE and good luck on next week's presentation!

My car . . . it was a belt and they were under warranty, so no charge there. Oil pan and gasket thingy though . . . Got a makeshift fix for now, but that will need to be replaced at the next oil change. Hubby's car goes in next week. Trying to take care of ALL of the car repairs ($) at the beginning of summer. Not fun to be stuck on the road in 115 degree heat:) Pool temp is 80 already!

Lorena - Miss V is precious as always. Such a cute picture! Have fun at the wedding.

Tracy - UGH....packing stinks. I totally thought of Laura doing a spreadsheet for you. lol. I can't believe you guys are losing two schools completely.

Liz - Hope the headache has gone away. Happy Weekend!

Laura - nice reframe!

How can a person be tired as soon as they wake up? Scheduled run this morning, Ryley has a game at 1, then friends over for dinner while Michael takes Ryley to the Padres game. Grace has a birthday slumber party to go to. And Michael is golfing this afternoon as well as tomorrow afternoon. What the what? Princess G did a fabulous job with her ballet at the art festival last night. Uploading pictures now.

Okay....today's calendar started off watching t-ball.....Gotta love it!! Afterwards, lunch, and packing. UGH!! My room is almost completely done, but I do have a little bit left to do. I was glad for the help from my mom and Ansley today though.

Donna~ I totally get the whole being tired when you get up thing. I wish I could figure out how to do that differently, but I haven't so....

Lindsay~ Yay for warranties!!! Sheesh--I definately think fixing the stuff before 115 degrees hits is a smart thing.

Ever wonder how a bed that is suppose to be for one can become crowded??? Add one cute little girl and one cute dog and there ya go! Who could resist?? It'll all be gone way too fast!

Donna: Being tired as soon as you wake up, a constant for me as well. Hope some caffeine and a good run did the trick for you. I bet G had a lovely ballet performance. It sounds like another busy weekend at your house:)

Tracy: It must have been difficult to pack up your teaching stuff. Glad that you had some extra hands. I know what you mean about finding a little person in your bed. Mine don't visit as often as they used to, but when they do, I welcome it too.

I brought home all of my classroom posters this past week. Back under the bed they go until I land another teaching assignment. My long-term sub has my keys, so I guess she'll be turning them in. I just have to return my school laptop and check out is complete:)

Tracy- Happy moving! Hopefully this is the last move for a loooong time!

Lindsay- 115... wow. That must be what it's like to live in a blow dryer.

Donna- I'm right there with you momma. Yesterday was a morning and afternoon caffeine day.

I know I'm missing a ton, sorry, crazy days over here. Lance was supposed to be up with Micah this morning so I could cruise.... should have known it was too good to be true!!

Lauren~ That's the way it always happens, right?? Just when you're looking forward to dad doing the work of the day.....no dice!!

The school is having a "Memory Walk" today to allow the community one last chance to take pics and share this school building with family members. It's so sad!! It's optional for me to go and I think I'm going to opt out. My only ties to the building is this one year and I don't want to minimize what others are feeling.

I'm just tired of feeling sad!!!!!

Tracy - My heart is breaking just thinking about all those families saying goodbye to that school. HUGS!! Your bed sounds like my bed.

Lauren - Serious bummer. Michael golfed yesterday and is back out again today so I've been solo pretty much most of the week. Prolly why I'm tired when I get up. Need more caffeine!

Lindsay - Yay for completed check-outs. 115? Oy. This is why we don't usually visit my parents during the Summer.

Should be in the front yard weeding, but the motivation fairy took a hike yet again.

Our motivations must be taking a nice long hike together somewhere today. Cleaning out the closet... eh... not so much. I did guilt Lance into washing and waxing my car.

Tracy- What will they do with the building?
