This is the second Friday in a row that I haven't come home before almost 11 when I got to teaching at 8 am.

Hey I've proctored for ACT's & SAT's before! It's fun! I had to stop because it was too far away for the money but I'm hoping to somehow make some contact with a more local school that does the testing... just don't know who to talk to!

Lets see..............you ready for a book?
Seth, the youngest has had a cough for about a month now.No fever,no snotty nose.........nanda! Just coughing.He's on antibiotics though because the little turd has a cavity and needs it pulled on Monday.
Jordan, the middle son acts like his asthma is bothering him.So, I have to keep an eye on that and keep the Nebulizer on hand at all times.
Devin, the oldest boy is sitting here watching some stupid cartoon.LOL!!If he doesn't keep his grades up, he'll be grounded until he's 21.Waiting for the report cards right now to determine if he's grounded or not.
Amber, is on Yasmin now.She is 16 and having female problems like her Mom.My Gyn told her it was ALL my fault.He's a hoot and I love him to pieces.He doesn't BS you and if I say I want such and such done, he does it.
DH was in an accident on Thursday.he was rear-ended.So, we wait for the accident report.It tore his bumper down some.He hit his head on the seat in the process.SO, I worry about that too.Plus, he's been working 64-72 hours a week at work.SO, I am home with the 4 skin kids and 5 fur kids most of the time alone.
Me,I feel like crap.I have a headache and just BLAH feeling.
MIL is having a Colonoscopy done and had to have blood work done.So, nothing major for her.
Hope you feel better SOON Nikki!!

Gee you're all having a rough time!!

I've been at work early all week, and was up early again this morning, so just went into work early (7:30am!). I normally leave at lunchtime on a Friday so I can get some study in, but didn't leave until about 3pm today, and was braindead by the time I got home and nothing was sinking in.

So I went with DH to a geek meeting tonight, and one of the other guys also brought his wife who was sooooo lovely! She had their 2 kids with her who were just DOLLS! The little boy was 4 and the little girl was 6, and they were so polite, so fun and so well behaved. They were very well spoken and I had a ball playing and talking with them, and chatting to their mum.

They were just so adorable - exactly the sort of kids I want to have

everything went well but he didn't find his forever home.

I cleaned the inside of my fridge.

I have a gross, nauseating, sickeningly sweet, fruity, acrid smell coming from a corner of my dining room. My fridge sits on the other side of the small wall that separates the kitchen from the dining room (the wall is as deep as the fridge).

I started to notice the smell 11 days ago and I've told the caretaker about it but each time she comes up (unannounced after telling me she doesn't have time to come up), I've sprayed air freshener or scrubbed something with bleach so all she can smell is the bleach.

I've told her that it smells like something has died between the walls, and everyone I have described this smell too says the same thing.

I've pulled out my fridge and vacuumed and scoured the walls, floor and sides of the fridge with a strong solution of bleach and water. I've done the same thing to the inside of my freezer, fridge and the whole corner of the dining room and the bottom kitchen cupboards. I've even blocked the electrical outlet with waterproof tape.

My next step is to call her again on Monday and tell her that I've ruled out everything in my apartment, and that they need to get someone in here and find out what is causing that smell. When I go out and come back in the smell is so strong I want to throw up!

I just clean my house... how fun. But now I'm on here... even better

I've taken Yasmin for 4 years now and it has worked wonders for my girly issues!!!! ( I used to have aweful cramps- to where I couldn't move off the couch and would get terribly ill every month) - once I started taking Yasmin it helped soo much! I hope that works well for Amber!! I had a really positive experience with it and it helped me get back to normal so that I could function every month - That's good medicine that her doctor put her on- hope it works for her.

I'm glad everything went well. That is always a good thing. I used to run EVERY adoption day for one of the shelters I volunteered at- that was about 5-6 a month with animals 1/2 the time by myself....so I definitely understand the stress. But they're definitely worth it- many places like Petco sponser rescues and give them money if they show up...also, it's a chance to give out info on your shelter and hopefully get some wonderful animals new forever homes. You are awesome to put all of that energy into adoption days- those animals are lucky to have you helpin! I'm sorry that adorable little pup didn't find a home today- but keep your chin up! There's always a next time- and I'm sure the perfect family is just waiting out there to find him

Well, here's how my night went:
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...35#post1382135

at the moment, i'm drinking some hot tea (trying to get my voice back - i've had no voice for the past two days thanks to my cold - blahhh!) Other than that, i'm watching CSI weekends and Fosters and Kenzie are keeping their mommy company ...I will take some more pictures of those two when I feel better and post them for everyone to see

Oof!! I just got back from working the George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic concert...Got up at 7 to start stage setup and all that. Gonna go wash up and crawl into bed and PASS OUT!

I've been at the hospital and a friends waiting for the bad news about her step dad. He's on life support and they are taking him off tomorrow and they think he will pass away quietly. Brads dad is the one in the hospital that we went to see, because he has a clot in his leg and they won't let him go until they either get it to dissolve or it comes out surgically. When it rains, it pours. I would LOVE for one time in this last few months, that something goes right for me. I just feel over whelmed and upset and am so worried for my FIL and for my best friend. I feel like I'm being torn in two. Which way do I go now? Here or Here??? UGH! I wish the world would just leave me be and let me have no more stress for awhile.

jugen,

I'm so sorry that life is getting you down...I'm sending you lots of positive energy to keep you going.

BTW - what color are Rocket's eyes? Gold or green?

Rockets eyes are a golden color. It's hard to tell in that picture.
Thank you for all the vibes. You all are sweet. I just need to take time off and regroup.

aww thanks for the sweet compliment! I do everything I can to help these guys. yeah, I know you're right..I just wish he could be cat friendly so he could find a home easier. he was only there about 3 hours and saw the cats we had for adoption and went bonkers. I will do the best I can to find him a home where people deserve him. he deserves the best home out there and you never know someone could have saw him at the pet fair and not have cats and fall in love with him. his person will come along..I just know it. it took the lab/hound mix named Sienna at the shelter 6 months to find a home so his home is out there somewhere, we just have to wait for the right person to come along.
