Katie - Day off is nice. Happy the hurricane didn't hit you guys. Seeing the pictures and video coming in from New Orleans is scary.
Lauren - Poor baby. That stinks. But super ya on Little Miss sleeping through the night. Yahoo!!
Stacy - I'd opt for the shopping on State Street. LOL. Enjoy! You're not far from Karri.
Lindsay - ruh roh. I've seen what happens when beer is left in the freezer. No bueno.
Laura - Any updates on the release?
Run was good. I hate starting over. I feel so slow. But I did it, and I guess you have to start somewhere even when starting over. My booty is draggin though. I don't drink coffee before a run, which means I haven't had any caffeine all day today. Hittin up Starbucks before I go pick up the kids. Then it's book club night after the craziness of getting Ryley and Grace to their soccer practices.

Lauren: Aww, poor buddy, concrete is the worst to fall on! Yeah, but parking is $20-24 there! At Brookfield tickets are 15 and parking is 10 so it's not much cheaper!
Laura: Wow, I guess grief makes some people do crazy things. I hope that the dad got enough of his anger out to be more rational today.
Lindsay: Ugh, payroll issues?! Luckily never had to deal with those but that would totally suck! Email me when you get a chance today! For some reason the email address I have for you isn't delivering!
Donna: Your dragging through is probably my sprinting speed right about now, lol.
Lorena: Cool, I'll have to check that out!
Had fun at the Cincinnati zoo with my Uncle, and my cousin's daughter came over and she wrangled Elim all afternoon, woohoo! Ugh, I'm so tired! I should head to bed soon, so much to get caught up on though! Hopefully it'll happen once I'm in the hotel by myself in Chicago without feeling like I have to visit with everyone, lol.
I sure will give Jen a big ole hug from you all!

Lauren-Congrats on Makaela sleeping through the night. I am sorry about Micah's fall. Where did you go to high school. Patrick taught at The Latin School across from Lincoln Park when we lived there.
Stacey- Your trip sounds like so much fun (minus the illnesses). I hope you have a good day today.
Lorena- THe kids look great!
Donna- Congrats on getting back to running. The amount of energy it takes to overcome the initial inertia is the worst. I hope Ethan's week continues to improve.
Laura- I hope Nathan goes home today or tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Jackie- Your vacation is almost here!
Lindsay- I hpe you do get paid and that you can move that IEP meeting up ASAP so Mr. T and you can get some relief.
Abigail had her first day of school this week. She loves it but there is no homework yet or work, really so we will see how long this lasts. Even better she wanted to know why she had to wait to start her tutor for two weeks. Relief all-around that the tutor wanted to do it again (she has a full-time teaching job) and that Abigail was excited. I had my first day of classes too. It seemed to go well so the semester is off and running. Today I need to play catch-up.
I hope everyone's Labor Day weekends don't get rained out by Issaac.

Morning,
Woke up to the thickest fog I've seen in years.
Also woke up with a snot nose, and chunky cough. -mumbling profanities-
You know what I hate, when I spend money on...lets say...a Nike+ for jogging/running purposes, and the -profanity- thing won't load to my computer, won't update any of my stuff. I've done everything it's said to do, done all of the updates....nothing seems to be working.
I have nothing constructive to offer at this point in time.
bbl...

Oh Liz, that is awful! I hate when my electronics don't work correctly!
Well my rumor starting came true, we came home yesterday. N is still really sick but he is at least home. Still really junky and whiny but at least we get to cuddle at home rather than an uncomfortable hospital bed!
That's all I've got, can't remember anything else...

So...I come home from the gym to my front yard being dug up by the gas man, no gas to the house(so I can take a hot shower), and a herd of columbia gas men standing around, while one of them is actually digging.
Dudes, today is nearly miserable. You ever have a day when the simple-ist, dumbest things keep happening? I woke up to snot face, tried to upload my workout after the gym, again...FAIL, T and I go to the grocery and she has this dang puppy on wheels that she has to take everywhere, his leg fell off in the grocery store, that I had to go look for, as it was no where in sight, then when I put down my 35# bag of cat food, my sunglasses got crunched under the bag and broke.
Update: The hole in my yard is now bigger as they keep digging along the road. And 2 of the guys standing around are smoking, fairly close to the hole being dug.....Dudes, it's a gas line, man. You're going to blow my house up!
Like Lauren's "Keep swimming" I feel like saying..."keep whining" because that's all I've been doing today. *

Yesterday Nathan was askimg me about his "ammonia" It really cracks me up that after all these years of having pneumonia he still calls it ammonia.
My family has all been sending me pictures of Trevor this week, it looks like he's having such a great time in CA with all of them. So glad my family is willing to at least allow one of my boys to have a great vacation. I got a picture yesterday of him covered in sand from head to toe and laying on the beach, my mom said he almost fell asleep!

Liz - I'm just sorry. Uh, had a similar thing happen this week too. Really hard when they want that ONE toy and you have absolutely no idea where THEY left it. And it's when you have a bunch of stuff in your arms or to do and you're already late. Just scream and/or drink or BOTH:) Always cold beer in my house. It's a must at this point.

Needless to say....this week almost got the best of me!! Laura~ I'm glad to hear that Nathan and his "ammonia" are out of the hospital! I am sad to hear of the family who had to say goodbye. The fit of rage from that father is so understandable. Liz~ Hope the electronics are working out for ya. Jackie~ Did you say you ate rocks???  You know they ask that question about kids at the peds office!!  Stacy~ Hope you enjoy the big city travels. Katie~ Glad ya'll missed Issac.... Yeah, only you would be sad that you didn't get more weather. Donna~ Running??? I'm still not on board with that physically. Mentally, I think I would, but I just can't get started! Lindsay~ It's sad that you have to pull back your parental support for the teachers and admin to get the pic of the need for a personal assistant. Lorena~ Here I am!!! I'm swamped at work and feel like the walking dead when I get home!! Lauren~ Love the pic of the kidlets. Can't quite pick out which parent Miss M. looks like. Yay for her sleeping all night!!! That's my kinda girl!! Tomorrow is kickoff for my sweet Bulldogs!! Tonight is kickoff for my high school team and I'm super excited about both!! Looking most forward (is that a word combination or what) to sleeping in in the morning!!!!!

Liz - Was that Columbian men or Columbian Gas men? I hope you've got some hot water to take that shower.
Tracy - Sounds like a busy evening:) Are you ready for some
F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L?! I hope your teams win!
Lorena - Hope you found some cool books with S at the Book Fair:)
Ellen - Happy First week for you and Abigail. We're a few weeks in and we're starting to see more homework assignments. I feel like I'm always doing homework with Mr. T. He misses so much while he's at his morning and afternoon pull-out. I sort of thought he'd be excused from some stuff. Something to bring up at the next IEP I guess. I'm so glad she likes her tutor. Yay for awesome teachers, tutors, and support staff!
Stacy - Hope you're seeing some great sites:) Thanks for keeping me in the loop too.
Katie - Are you guys okay? I just keeping seeing all that water.
There's an away FB game tonight. My hubby volunteered to drive a white bus and take the drumline over. Oh, the extras people do to keep a job:) I thought it would be a good idea for our host student to get out of the house and go too. Can't say she was thrilled, but in any case, I have the house to myself with just the kiddos right now and it's really nice. Trying to get a headstart on chores so that I can actually attempt to enjoy this long weekend.

Today we went for a walk with Nathan along the bike path that runs along the river. It was actually really pretty until we got too close to Albany, then we turned around due to some questionable patrons of the bike path  It's been nice to spend some time with just Matt, Nathan and myself while Trevor is in CA. I think Nathan is really enjoying it also, he likes to get all the attention. OK, that's all for now. We're getting Nathan ready to go see Matt's parents since today is his mom's birthday. Hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend!

Katie~ I was more than excited to see college football kick off today!!! My Dawgs came out on top, but the high school team didn't. Oh well....can't win 'em all I don't suppose! Ansley went to the game today and just got home! As always....she had a great time!  That girl is turning out to be quite the football kid! I've been thinking about asking this question for a week or so now, but does anyone have a good name for the SEPTEMBER CAFE'??? I can't believe it's September already!!!! Kickoff Cafe'

Soooooo tired! Hoping to get to sleep in a little more today and that Elim sleeps better, poor guy was cold last night and in my half dazed state didn't think to put a long sleeved shirt on him, just kept covering him up. Needless to say, he has long sleeves and socks on tonight. Went to the zoo today and met some amazing friends! Met two twin girl angel mommas, one of which I met two weeks after losing the girls and she along with Share carried me through those times.

Stacy~ How fun to get to meet up with friends. I was attacked by sinus issues yesterday afternoon....  I was fine earlier in the day then my nose became stuffy and at 4 a.m. the headache, sore throat, and stuffy nose sent me in search of meds. I'm not ready for sickies yet---it's too early in the season!! (and 4 a.m. is too early in the morning to be going through cabinets in your house!!)

Stacy - Always super special to meet up with peeps who helped you to navigate through. I bet it was a nice time for all of you. The Zoo sounds so fun!
Sorted through a few more piles of those small mountains of paper in our room. Back in binders and recycled a bunch. Still a few more piles to go through, but I can see more of the floor now. Taking the kids out for some early morning pool time and then going to check out the aquarium in Tempe. Happy Sunday!

Amazing that you were able to meet some of the other angel momma's that helped you through. We took N to a local fair today, he loved it. We walked through 4 different cow barns and he loved each and every one! Matt and I did not love the smell. We did all have a good time though. It was nice to come home and shower though How many more days until SU? I think it's in the 40's now, 48 I think...

Laura, So glad you had fun at the fair and Nathan did, too! We had a similar fair here, we went Friday, and that was Tori's favorite part too, the 6 big barns of stinky A$% animals.
Ps-I run super slow, like molases, slow, and do much better on a treadmill than ground!
Lindsay, I love eliminating piles of paperwork, and have fun at the aquarium!
Stacy, still safe travels!
I'm not sure on the rest....
Happy labor day! Dudes, I got new running shoes, let me tell you how fabulous they are. Like jogging on marshmellows, no more shin splints, they are awesome. Asics-nimbus 14 Love them. So much so, I did 17 miles in 3 days....My legs hurt a little and my butt hurts a tad, but I'm hoping to get another 5 in today. FYI-fat people don't run or jog or exercise. I've been trying to be healthier for 89 days now and have lost 15 pounds. My husband said my boobs are bigger than my gut now, so I must be doing something right? Eh? bbl....

Maybe I need to find the "marshmellow" shoes so I'll enjoy it a bit. Laura~ I was telling someone about our first meeting the other day. My friend couldn't believe that I told you the spreadsheets were a bit nerdy. I said that the best thing is you got my sarcasm and still speak to me years later!! That's a good friend!  I'm so enjoying my Labor Day Holiday!!! I'm doing NOTHING and that's just what the dr. ordered. The sinus mess is still here, but I feel a lot better than I did yesterday! Ooo....did anyone catch the Today Show this morning?? MATCHBOX 20!!!! I had no idea who they were until joining Share and the girls from Share introduced their music to me!

Laura - I'm glad that you all had a nice time at the fair. I was laughing at the smell part. Got to say, sometimes I feel like my backseat smells that way. Little boys and little toots. One of my kiddos can do it on command too. Yikes! It will be great in college I guess.
Liz - That's awesome news! I'm so glad that you're lovin' your new shoes. Nothing like a great pair of shoes:) You go girl! Always nice to get a compliment on the ladies:)
Tracy - Sounds like a good plan. Sorry for the lingering sinus mess. You know what I love most about 3-day weekends? Four-day work weeks:)
We went to the aquarium yesterday. The boys had a good time and that's what matters MOST to me. Exchange student wasn't too excited about the ticket price and the experience she had for the money. I was telling her about Sea World and the Scripps Aquarium in CA, but at the rate we're going, it's doubtful we'll get to take her. I'm starting to wonder if she'd be happier with another family? I knew this experience would come with some challenges and I'm hoping it will get better, but how long do you give someone before you say, "This isn't working . . ." While not favorable, they can make a change. I am trying to put something in the works for the sake of my sanity. Just keep swimming . . . just keep swimming . . .

That's an old saying here..
Tracy: ugh so bad you got sick on your first school day off... Hope you get better....
Laura: so Glad to hear that Nathan is well enough to go out after his "ammonia" .... Glad you had a good family time on The fair
Liz: well said "mashmellows shoes" we got The pic of those shoes... Go girl that is awesome what are you running keep going,
Stacy: how is your trip going? What Shareyourstory moms you Met?

Lindsay: I can relate to the piles and piles of paper, I hate going through it all so it just builds and builds till I can't stand it anymore. Bummer that things aren't going fantastic with the exchange student, did you say you'd have her for the whole year? Maybe they'll be able to find another family for her to stay with that clicks better with her.
Lorena: Trip is going well! See below for Share mommas!
Laura: Elim loves farm animals! He saw horses and lambs farm yesterday and just kept waving and saying hi!
Liz: Wow, that's awesome! I'm lucky to get even one mile in let alone 17 in three days!! Charles' aim for this deployment was to get 300 in for the time he was there. He's up to 274 but now he's injured his leg and possibly might not make it. He's hoping it's only strained because after a bit of rest he should be better, if it's a torn muscle or compartment syndrome not so much.
Tomorrow I venture into the city, making my plan of attack right now! Kinda nervous to be going into the city by myself with Elim but I figure with a good play in place it should be fun!
Be jealous, be very very jealous. First in Cincinnati I met Jen (liams mommy) for lunch and gave her a big ole hug. Then today I met Sarah (brocksmom06) along with her sweet Millie Bug and Brock!
