Tuesday Chatting

cakana

DH in a 10hr a day class today and tomorrow. Watching him pack his lunch this morning cracked me up. You'd have thought he was going camping for a few days .

I don't know why that especially cracked me up.... then reminded me that I left my "to go" plate at home.  Whoops.

Seafood Festival this weekend, Highland Games next weekend.... We really are in a transition of seasons.  I wish summer was longer here.

Cathy, that cracked me up about your DH's lunch.

Tina - if your tooth is abscessing, it may not wait for the appt. They should be able to see you on an emergency basis sooner though.

Well, when I called last Wednesday, the right upper side where the 3 teeth have been hurting was pounding from the pain and the endodontist didn't seem alarmed.  Now it is back to the original tooth and up above the gumline, practically right next to my nose, is swollen and painful to touch as well as when biting down.  The other 2 teeth are fine.  So I dunno.  I've already seen my regular dentist 3 times since May for this; they think either that I'm nuts or I need a bite splint.  The endodontist has me on the emergency cancellation list.  Whoopee.

Ahh since I mostly likely wont make practice to night I am off to do the books and attendace sheets so I can pass them off and them muster some painting energy.

Good day wishes for all.

I am feeling SO out of the loop here.  Even though I don't post as often, I read multiple times a day while at work.  Gah, you would think I had a baby and went on maternity leave or something!  hehehe

I'm hoping for rain for all the TX iddogers in fires way.  It's such scary stuff. 

Lisa, I don't know what happenend with Riley but I am thinking based on this thread that maybe you guys decided to hold her back a year.  Whatever it was, kudos to you.  I know it seems hard now, but it will really pay off in the long run. 

Jano, are you refinancing?  Huge appraisal value vibes coming your way!!!! 

Steph, congrats on the wedding!  I am so glad things finally worked out that you guys got to get hitched!

I'm sure I am missing a ton so good vibes to all those who need them. 

Today is my first day back in the office and Cooper's first day at school.  We had a little snafu a few weeks ago when daycare told me they weren't going to have a spot for him afterall, 2 weeks before I was scheduled to come back to work.  I was so PO'd because I have been on the waiting list since December and they have been enrolling people off the street even since Cooper was born, and I had even offered to start paying the weekly fee to save his spot and was told I couldn't.  I found another place but it was going to cost 300+ more a month.  So I called the corporate office and told them about all this and asked some questions because I was also getting conflicting info on when there would be a spot, and someone pulled some strings and made room for us!  I am so relieved!  It was much easier leaving him with a teacher I know than someone I just met.  And he is in the room right next to Devin instead of halfway across town.  I'm sure when I pick him up today he will be an inch longer and have a tooth!  I miss my little man.  :(

you know things like this make me nuts: I have a warranty repair to be done, made the appointment, arrived today thinking it's easy peasy, oh you are waiting on this? Wow it's going to take a while, how long a while, minimum 2 hrs. Argh not what I needed or had time for today.

Karen - stay safe from the storms and hopefully the repairs go faster than they anticipate...haha, like that ever happens.

I'm not suggesting anyone, especially those folks in Texas listen to this but it's the EMS channel for the wildfire area. It gives me an appreciation for DH's job and how stressful and confusing it must be at times.

Yes Sarah, we're refinancing. We are 7 years into a 30 year loan at 5.875%, going to a 15 year loan at 3.375%. We'll actually be paying a bit more every month, but we'll be saving like a bazillion dollars in interest overall.

Karen's right, Cooper won't have grown a whole inch. 3/4" probably.

Karen's right, Cooper won't have grown a whole inch. 3/4" probably.

I hope you guys are right.  I'm scared though because I swear I see the edge of a tooth already poking out!  I was so sad when Devin got them because I LOVE that gummy smile, and this makes me even more sad since he is my last baby and not even three months old yet.  :( Hopefully it will stay put for at least a few more months so I can indulge in his pudgy gummy smiley love!

Glenda, if it makes you feel any better - my *baby* will be 35 in January.

Callie, years ago I traded  the waterbed in for a conventional one because the waterbed was too low for my gimpy knee ... but we had that darn thing for almost 20 years and I can't think of anything that was a bigger nuisance than trying to find and seal up a leak except for maybe draining, dragging out and replacing the whole thing.

Rain vibes coming for Texas peeps.  My sister told me it's raining in San Diego of all places.  If it can rain there before summer is really over it should be able to rain in Texas, eh?

Only it was because I did something I haven’t done since my 20’s

Got smashed ( I am not bragging in the least ) and hurled for hrs. I honestly don’t know how it happened.

I am not a big drinker . I always limit myself.

Yah I know how to impress the family .

I'm sorry but I admit I laughed at the last line.  Hopefully, their memories will be foggy from the booze and you can swear you weren't the one who got sick drunk. 

Sarah, I'm glad you got Cooper in the same place as D.  I'm sure he'll only be speaking in three word sentences when you pick him up. lol  I can't imagine how hard that is on the first day. 

Busy but I'm not very motivated.  I keep checking for the fire locations.  Six hundred homes lost in Bastrop according to one source. :(  

To Pika's palace, hope your days get better soon. Hugs  I've been through many of those things in my lifetime.

Drenching, soggy vibes for all the Texas idoggers!

((hugs)) Lisa.

Auburn, how about you keep the DH and send me the new tv? 

I'm feeling kinda blah today. I have a lot of work to do and no creative energy. I still have some last minute cleaning up to do before 5:00 when Mr. Appraiser comes. High value home price vibes appreciated!

We had a freeze warning last night, but I don't know if it got below freezing. It was 36 when I woke up. The poor hummingbird was so fluffed up I almost thought it was a chickadee at the feeder! I wanted to put the poor little girl in my pocket to warm her up. 

LOL don't think DH would like that much.

Good morning all!  Wasn't it wonderful to have that extra day?  I still did chores mostly for all three days, but it was nice to spread them out and actually feel caught up for a change.

I got my freezer defrosted, all the dogs bathed, a ton of laundry done (thank goodness the washer was FINALLY delivered.....Irene delayed that by a full day) and the house squeaky clean.  Of course, we already have fur bunnies.......also put a huge amount of produce into the freezer.  This week was so insane that my 24 hour rule was getting badly mangled.  24 hours from the garden to the table or the freezer.  But, I'm caught up now.  At least until this afternoon when I go down to pick again!

Today my "baby" is 32 years old.  Feeling a tiny bit old today!

Jackie, I'm with Auburn.  I'd love to send some of our abundant rain your way.  Really, really soggy here and we aren't supposed to see the sun until Friday.

 

Glenda, my baby is 52 now.  My oldest is 59!~ Wow the years go so fast, can't believe I'm old already. *S*

Have a good day everyone, stay safe!

I just saw Auburn bragging about her age. I can only brag a little bit. Next year, 2012, will be my 30 year high school reunion. To translate for the young'ns here, people have been born, been to college, got married and are having children since I graduated high school May 25, 1982 from L.V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Texas (Go, Rams!).

That's what happens when you keep breathing in and out, every day. Another year passes by in the blink of an eye. Like the old saying goes, "If I had known that I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself."

 Roger Daltry sang "I hope I die before I get old ..." Now that he's in his 60's, I still think he can sing it and mean it. 60 is not old. I bet a person passing away at the age of 104 still thinks, "Dang, that didn't last long, did it?"

Normal day at work. Usual catastrophes to be handled by yours truly. It's like each new day is a new day in the construction biz, for EVERYONE. Sometimes, I want to say OMG. Then I would wear that phrase out. Still, it's nice to have a job where I have concerns to deal with. Beats the living daylights out of having no job and no paycheck. Hands down.

When you've been kicked around and shown just how expendable you are, it's natural to be thankful for still having the same job after 9 months. I had forgotten what that was like.

So, my ending note is that I am still thankful. And will remain so.
