Mommies Rock Share Café

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?

Lauren~ I think that they are planning to deed our building to the city that it's located in, but the other one will eventually become the board office.

Motivation fairy????? Oh yeah......they must be on strike or something cause mine is MIA as well. Hard to find good help these days!

Lorena, Miss V, beautiful as always!
Tracy, congrats on the packing in some type of order. It will be so much easier to unpack.
Donna, you are always so busy. I get exhausted just reading about it sometimes.
Lauren, hi!
Lindsay, that is way too hot for me. Way too hot...

I don't remember much of anything else, Stopping by to say hi.

Hi!

Lauren/Tracy - They must be somewhere together. I need mine back desperately.

Someone somewhere is having a good laugh at my expense these days. Lost diamond from my wedding ring, cat disappeared, Ethan had a hideous week, Ryley broke a tooth, and now I have to take Ethan to the dr to have his foot checked out. He kicked the wall during a tantrum yesterday and now will not walk on his foot. No swelling or bruising but he screams when I touch it. Day totally derailed.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi! Have a busy week this week and the two weeks after most likely too but I'll try to peek into the cafe every once in awhile!

Getting everything ready for Charles to head over to Afghanistan, doesn't seem like it's just a few days away already!

Ugh! Stacy, I'll be praying for you, Charles and Elim in the upcoming weeks.

I cut the grass today. Just the side yard, for the whole yard is over an acre with a push mower. Sweat. Sweat.

Tori, wiped out and blasted her chin off the corner of her table in her play room. 1st bloody mess I've had to clean up in 2 and a half years. She cried a good 30 minutes on this one.

T's napping, mikes working, and I'm getting my Jerry Springer fill until 4pm, then to my nieces softball game.

bbl...

Stacy - Sending thoughts your way.

Liz - I'm sweating just thinking about a push mower. Owie on the chin. Ethan did that when he was 2 1/2. Toddler thing.

Still waiting on x-ray results for E. Can this day get any more ridiculous? And the crazy part of our day hasn't even begun.

Stacy - Thinking about you and your family.

Liz - Poor T! I hope she's feeling better. You go lady with your yardwork! It's not 115 yet, only 106. In the summer it does get that hot though. It's too hot for me too, but for now, we're here.

Donna - Oh no! Insured? Did the cat take off with your jewels? I hope E's foot is okay.

Urgh, on the phone way too long with DDD people and I was a few minutes late getting my kiddo. Feel bad. It has SO been one of those Mondays. Hoping the rest of the week goes better . . .

Donna~ Oh no!!!! On everything...... Hope the lost is found and the broken is fixed with little effort.

Stacy~ I've always said you're my hero for being a military wife!! The sacrifice that your family and so many others like you make are tremendous. All I can say is THANK YOU!!! No worries here, you enjoy spending time with your family!

Lindsay~ Seriously hate the "please hold" phone calls. Hope you got some much needed information after all that!!

I've gotten a little bit done today.... Bills paid and errands run, lunch with my sister, a baby gift bought for her new 9 lb. bundle of full term joy, and some more packing in my classroom!

The house is still a total wreck, but not sure when that will get done. I'm so scattered that I can't focus on more than one thing at a time. Maybe once the classroom is packed up, the brain will clear a bit. Maybe......

Donna- Egads momma!

Lindsay- "Only" 106. That's warped! Booo on the extra long DDD convo.

Liz- You go momma rockin' the yard! Poor Tori. Ouch.

Stacy- ::looks around for successor:: Coast is clear. We'll be keepin' ya guys in our thoughts during Charles' departure!

Tracy- I hear ya on the scatter brain and I don't have half of what you got going on... best of luck straightening it all out.

Monday Monday...

Thanks for the thoughts ladies. I'm thinking I'll feel a million times better if I actually get some sleep tonight.

Tracy - One thing at a time. It works.

Lindsay - Ick on the long call.

X-rays are negative for a break. Whew. Now to convince Ethan there's nothing wrong with his foot so he will stop whining and hopping around.

Oh Monday, Oh Monday....

I don't like them, and to think many years ago I loved Mondays, yes I was a nerdy that loved school.....

Donna: I agree with Lindsay, your cat probably hit jack you.... Oh I hope Ethan's foot is nothing serious.....and hoping your week improves....

Liz: Wow you, cutting the grass with a mower must be a difficult job, never had done it, in fact I don't know how to use a mower....... Poor Tori, hope she is feeling better, thank God she didn't needed stitches, miss V open her chin when she was the same age, she needed 8 inside stitches and 9 outside, and a plastic surgeon to make sure there were no scar for her.......She wear a skin scotch for 6 months to make it heal ok, and no scar....
I almost fainted with all the blood, yes I am scare of blood......

TRacy: Oh that memorial Walk for the elementary school, seems like something thoughtful to do....... so the kids are out of school?? Good luck with the packing......

Stacy: Thinking of you and Charles, hope it is a short stay over there, I will be praying for him and you.......

So the wedding was wonderful, we slept late in those marvelous hotel beds and pillows, I love hotels..... and we had a big breakfast, miss V said that the hotel was the Princesses palace, and that she loved to be a princess..... she was so in love with her dress, though she tore it....

I just hate my interior design group, I found the contact of a store that will give us the furniture, I was also signing for them as guarantee, we chose the furniture, we agreed, and when I came to the store today to spoke with the owner for the final details, my so called friends, after we left came back and changed all what we have chose.. and not even told me.... ..... I have been moving my b for that presentation, and they just change the things around........urgh......sorry I need to vent.........I mean is "my contact" (the owner is a friend of my SIL).....

Just want to share the pic before the wedding......

Lorena

Lindsay: that is the Murphy law, they will place you on hold, when you need to go somewhere...... Best thing to do is to call the first thing in the morning, by experience I have learnt that with goverment offices or things like that, they are willing to help more in the mornings, Tuesday or Wednesday is better to call.......

L.

Lorena~ The kids look beautiful!!! I know you're more than proud of them!!! Good tips on when to call the gov't offices. I know I was much friendlier in the mornings than the afternoons when I worked for the governement... And yes, last Friday was the last day for students at school.

Donna~ Woohoo on the clear x-rays!! Hmmm.....is there something that he loves to do that he can't do with a broken/hurt foot?? Choose to do that thing and he'll be up and going in a flash!! I learned that with my whiners at school....they're dying until I say it's recess or P.E. time....then they're wide open!!! All better!

My child has ditched me for the night.... She said that she didn't want to get up in the morning when I have to go to work so she's staying with my mom and dad. LOL!!! Such a momma's girl with that sleeping in thing!!
