we dropped off the signed lease for our new place. we move december 30.

i am both excited and sick.

i did show the place to the kids and told them we are moving after christmas. i hope that's the right thing to do. caroline seems excited to have her own room. jake says he's excited too. the little boys will be glad once we move and they have more space.

I didn't know you were moving!!!

Not far from where you are now? More space?

yes, close by here and more space. i think it will be good all around.

Gotcha - It is a new door opening for you :)
I will have to come see you one day. I am always going there.

you really should. i can't believe you're here all the time and we never get together.

I know - sometimes it is tough for me to get away since we usually go to visit family and they have plans. We are actually going this weekend, but are bringing my Mom and that so I doubt I will have a lot of time.

I think we need to have a mini MS reunion there this spring though. I wonder if anyone is interested?

where is there you stinkers???

you know I'd be interested :)

You are too funny. Chicago, silly. Interested ?

Good morning!

My favorite holiday is Christmas because it's the only holiday that I am sure we will be home. I love seeing family, but the closest is four hours away, which means if we spend it with them, then we are not home. Rarely does anyone come here (but we have a couple of parents that can't because of health).

I must love lots of things about Christmas, because I have the tree up and most of the inside decorations.

We also usually do an early Christmas celebration at Thanksgiving at my Mom's house, so if you look at it that way, it's not so far away.

Sappy that is exciting about your house. I hope you love it!

Chele I hope you breeze through the test.

Melissa it would be fun to meet up in Chicago.

Good Morning!

I was looking at this thread thinking is today Tuesday?!

I'm so stressed out I can't even remember what day it is anymore!

Favorite holiday - I really like Thanksgiving - I like all the food and hanging out with John's sisters and the kids playing. I like Christmas too. Well, I like seeing the kid's get their Easter baskets and hunt eggs. I love giving extra hugs and kisses on Valentine's Day! So I guess I love them all!!!

Morning - why so stressed? You sound like me last week.

There was a fire at the kids' daycare last week. We didn't have care Thursday, Friday or yesterday. We had a parent meeting last night and they will not be able to get back into the daycare wing of the church for probably 2 weeks. The entire daycare is set up in the atrium area (which is their sanctuary - there are removable chairs, it's huge). But, that can only be for today b/c there was a death in the church family and there is a funeral in there on Wed and Thur so I have no care those days.

They are looking for an alternate facility but with licensed daycares that means a complete relicensing which does not happen quickly.

I took off thur & fri and only worked 3 hours yesterday. John will take off with them tomrorow and I'm taking off Thursday. I had to reschedule a meeting I had with John's school for tomorrow - we were to discuss some occupational therapy testing results.

Speaking of John - I stopped a med he was on about 2 weeks ago b/c I thought it wasn't helping (and it is ridiculously expensive (like $800 per month expensive). so I thought if we are not seeing real differences with this med I see no reason for him to stay on it. Well, I think it might have been a mistake b/c he has returned to being almost unbearable. Plus he just has this know it all, smart alleck, disrespectful teenage "tone" that is driving me insane!

Plus I have PMS.

More than you ever wanted to know but thanks for letting me get it out smile

Yowzer - that is a lot. Sounds stressful.

I did not know there was a fire at the daycare. That would send me into a tailspin too. It is so hard to juggle things and work.

Add PMS onto that and it is a deadly combo. I hope the week gets better for you.

Sara lives in the burbs, but if we met up I think we would do the city.

We should see who is interested out there and set a plan/date.

If we do it I say it is low key. This way those who do not have the cash do not have to worry about anything we plan. We can hang out and just have some fun. Unless people want plans. Then go for it.

Can someone please send him a postcard and explain that by me ending our marriage that it means I do not want to be asked out on dates and I do not want "cute" little text messages(PUKE) telling me to have a good day(EYEROLL). He didn't do this when we were married and doing it now is not going to make me change my mind. Oh and can you a nice big go eff yourself to the message. Thanks LOL

Melissa - I'm all for low key, no huge plans. Just some good food and completely unscheduled weekend would be fantastic to me!

I have almost talked my husband into taking a mini vacation to a place with a beach over Thanksgiving!!!

Now I just need to find some place w/in reasonable driving distance from our house!

OMG...my ex totally did this...he started sending flowers, telling me i was beautiful, that he really did love me....blah blah blah...he would not take no for an answer. I did let him begged me into counselling so i could once and tell him yet again--in front of the counselor--to eff off and you had your chance but it turns out you really are a POS and i hate you. of course we all know what a deadbeat bastard he is

men like that are stupid! and i hope that he just leaves you alone....you surely dont need that crap.

What is driving distance? Like how many hours? You are in Indiana, right?

Ugh - it's 12.5 hours.

I don't think he'll want to drive that far. Kate is not the best car rider. I could take stuff to keep them entertained but 12.5 hours (and that doesn't include stops!!).

Destin averages 72 in November.

I don't know . . . we just need to get away - that I know!
