Morning.

I just got home from Walmart--doing a little grocery shopping and a little birthday party shopping.

Both my kids are going to birthday parties tomorrow afternoon.

This evening, we're going to dye eggs at my parents' house and have dinner there--pizza or something probably.

Tomorrow morning, there's an egg hunt and activities at church.

Tomorrow afternoon, birthday party mania.

Sunday morning, church. Then a big dinner (lunch) at my parents' house.

Excellent photo opportunity weekend.

Hi Robin!! Sounds like you have a very busy weekend planned, but fun.
Are you going to both birthday parties or dropping Henry off at his?

Hi, Laura!

Henry would be MORTIFIED if I stayed at his party.

Plus Henry's starts at 1, and Mark's at 2 so I can't be two places at one time.

Ihni what time Henry's ends so Glen better be available to go get him.

Oh, lol. We aren't at the drop off stage yet-little did I know!!! I guess I will find out about that soon enough!

Where are these parties? At people's houses or other places?

Henry's is at Pump It Up.

Mark's is at his friend's house. I'll be staying at that one.

Im kinda frustrated this morning.

I have a friend from college who we went through tons of ups and major downs together in college.

Anyway shes always been rather sporatic in contact emails, etc. But When she was getting married the first time I got her a gift (the wedding was called off and it got sent back and I talked to her after that) Then she got married for real I got an invite and I sent another gift. I got a thank you email. Then she got pregnant and I got an invite to a shower. I never sent a gift. I sent several emails asking how she was ( I was going to find out what she really wanted/needed) I only heard once from her dh saying she would get in touch with me when she could and havent heard since. That was december. Im starting to feel like just a name for gifts. I emailed her last night and hope to hear back from her but am starting to feel down about our friendship that was so great.

My kids are starting to ask for a dog. A baby, a dog, what next? A kitten???

We won't be getting any of those things anytime soon. Actually, a baby is really the only real possibility for them-and that isn't happening soon, if we are able to make it happen at all.

A cat will never happen. A dog...MAYBE if we live elsewhere, but not while we are in this townhouse!!!!

My friend Beth's daughter (teenager) asked her if they could get a puppy, then asked if they could adopt a Haitian orphan--like adopt-adopt not send money to sponsor, then asked if they could have a foreign exchange student from China for two weeks.

Beth said yes to the 2-week foreign exchange student. Shiori left to go back home this morning.

GM-

Sonya- woot for no kiddos!
Sara- saying big prayers for the big phone interview
Sara C- Big hugs, thankful for health, but completely understanding of being down. Big Big Hugs.
Cory- good to "see" you so much this morning
Robin- not from this thread, but I've never ever heard of those bracelets
April- Sorry to hear of the work stress with contracts. It is an awful education climate right now :(

And to everyone I missed, GM!!

Travis was set on being here for another year.

Yet has applied to three jobs in the past week.
(edited to say three jobs that are not here and would mean moving)

Hmm.

The next step is his to take (all our moves until now have been for my career, but it is his turn), so I'm just being the supportive "go get them champ" wife.

My OCD planning voice is screaming in my head at not having a concrete plan.

i can't imagine what they will be like as teenagers

have a great day everyone!

Have a good one, Corey!
Seriously-I am buying a trumpet when my kids are teens-for all of the times they wake me up, I feel they deserve it!!! :)

i will admit to a certain sick satisfaction when i *have* to wake jake up.

after all, he woke me up at 5am for 18 months straight. at a time when i was working until 1am.

I'm so tired this morning. I don't know what's wrong with me. I could go back to bed for hours. Maybe I'll take a bath.

We're going for a walk in a bit.

This is me too. I could not get out of bed. I finally jumped up when I realized the boys were sneaking candy from the pantry! I'm still super tired though.

Supa - we have one of those remotes you are talking about. Had it for a few years. It is totally worth the money. Especially when you have a TV, xbox 360, Wii, DVD disc changer, stero, and something else I forget hooked up.

GM! I'm in the need-5-more-hours-of-sleep camp. I just can't get moving today. I had 3 things on my list today (fold laundry, water indoor plants, and grade papers) and I've only managed to get half the laundry done. Honestly, I just can't make myself do anything.

LDSMOM · Senior Member

We're having an egg hunt tomorrow after lunch. We don't have anything else special planned for Easter. General Conference for my church is this weekend so there really isn't time for much. Not that we'd do anything anyway. We don't have family close to do anything with and friends all have other plans.

LDSMOM · Senior Member

Well, I managed to water the plants. Everything else will have to wait. It's art time for kids. Sigh.

That stinks, Tracy. I have had some friendships that ended up feeling that way to me too-and it is sad. I hope she is just slow in getting back to you.

I have a couple of friends who I thought I was really close to and I guess it ended up I wasn't. Or things changed or we drifted or whatever-but still. It always makes me sad!!

Yes-they are soooo worth it-and we don't even have gaming systems!!!! I LOVE the one we have.

But I think I am going to hold off. I mean, I would love to have one, but my birthday is coming up in May, and maybe we can just get it then. Or I can ask for that from everyone. We have loads of other things to spend money on atm.

My neighbor came home from volunteering in Ethiopia for 2 weeks and her DH had not paid the bills, had bought a new TV, a PS3 (they already have Xbox and Wii) and a whole bunch of new toys for the kids. And then they were over draft when they did pay the bills. I would be PISSED.

And, since I wrote this post this morning one of the jobs has contacted him, is skipping the phone interview, and inviting him for a campus interview.

Holy crap.
