are you opposed to putting on an episode of Curious George?

No, not at all except my lil' guy is not a tv watcher. I have tried every show that I am ok with him watching and it will keep his attention for a few minutes and then he is on to something else. He does not like to sit still at all...he is a busy, busy, busy little boy.


That's interesting. Nathan likes to keep active for sure. But he went through a real love of TV stage, where he'd beg for TV. We keep it limited, and his fascination has waned, but he still likes to veg out for a half hour or so.

We had a nice morning. It was cloudy, so we went for a walk then the park. It was so nice not to have to deal with the hot sun and 90 degree temps.

(((Nicole))) Hope you feel better!

So naptime is officially started! I think I am going to take a rest time until 2, clean until 3, and then go take a shower if he still napping. I hate days where I feel touched out and used up.

Oh I did forget to mention I finally made an appointment to get contacts...woo hoo! I am so ready to not have to wear glasses all the time so hopefully I do not have trouble putting them in and out. I am really nervous about it and I don't know why. I am ready and my appointment is on Wednesday so we will see if anyone notices the change.

Nicole, have you relayed all of this to your doctor? The severity of it all I mean?

Chelle, sounds like a good compromise. Speaking of which... I should go clean the kitchen. That's great, though about the contacts.

Nicole, have you ever tried Pamprin? It's specifically geared toward PMS symptoms, way better than just plain ol ibuprofen. Is it PMS you are suffering from? I didn't see that in your post.

Thanks for the hugs. Yeah, it kinda sucks this time of year. I didn't actually lose anyone I know. Just my country being so violated in the biggest way, and they still aren't paying for it because they're wussies who can't own up to it and fight us head on like a man. Instead, they keep sending sucker punches like the cowards they are. I seriously cannot wait until the end of the system so they can be judged and then destroyed. They'll be so moded.

No kidding hey? I bet she feels really bad that she opened the door. Maybe she was expecting a package though... I hope they move or at least get a super duper security system now. I would want to move if I was them. They live in a HUGE house so I am sure they have enough money to sell and move to a safer area/city if they really needed to.

I think I would feel safer if I had a rotti instead of 2 barking chihuahuas.

That is so scary, Nicole. At least they weren't hurt.

Someone tried to break into my neighbor's house a few weeks ago while he was in the hospital for a spider bite. They didn't take anything. But, that same night, I accidentally forgot to close the back door. It was wide open with a baby gate in it all night.

Jack has learned to flush....and he likes it.....so every time he goes to the potty he thinks he has to flush first, then sit on the toilet, then flush again, then sit again....etc. Usually I hear 6 flushes or so!!!! ......trying to see the positive, that he is potty training.


Oh my! Akeelah loves flushing the toilet, does it all the time....except for when she uses the toilet. She just gets off and looks at me. She understands what the flushing is for though, because she'll flush when other people use it. Apparently, you're not supposed to flush the toilet for yourself, you get other people to do it!

Nicole - sorry you aren't feeling well...maybe they'll invite you next year! I used to feel the same way as you at that time - cramps, sharp pains that would paralyze me for about 5 seconds. I had to stay home from school for the first couple of days. (btw...our gas is $1.36...craziness...but why is yours more expensive when you actually have oil out there?)

Chelle - my husband and I were talking the other day about the good old days when Akeelah would watch tv - there was only one show and it was 15 minutes long, so we would put it on and scramble to get as much done as we could.

Yeah, I know our regular postman so I only open the door if it's him. If it's someone else I just let them take the package to the post office and I pick it up there. That's why I'm glad we have a peephole. I don't even open the door if I don't recognize the person. With the number of people coming and going in our building, anyone can slip in. And it reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds I saw once.

I don't open the door either, not even for the repair man unless I call the office and have one of the managers there that I KNOW come over and tell me it's the right person. Although at our old complex I would let the repair dude it, but that was only because I knew who they were.

Come to think of it, Micah's gun is sitting right on the computer desk next to the door

Neither do I. If I am not expecting anyone or anything I do not answer the door while home alone. I don't even look through the peep hole because we have two slender windows one on each side of our front door that people can see if you are coming even with shears in them. I remember my mom being the same way when we were little and that was 20 years ago.

The UPS and Fedex guys usually knock and go, they don't even wait for you to open the door to sign. They will leave the package on the front step and I like it that way.

Nathan has taken a nearly record-breaking nap, but I got a good rest and some good housework done. If he doesn't want to go to bed at 8pm, it's okay. It's Friday night, and we can enjoy some family time.

Hurricane Ike has already started to flood Galveston Island. It's only a Cat 2, but the flooding is supposed to get pretty bad. Definitely praying.

I had to turn the tv off...it is addicting to me...and anxiety ridden.
for those following the storm, my mom's county is Orange County, my brother's county is Jefferson County, and Jo lives in Calcasieu Parish. Those are the three counties east of the eye of the storm basically. They are telling my mom to not expect a house to go back to since she is south of the interstate and they expect up to 28 feet of water south of I-10. She is in northern LA right now, and will probably be here at my house tomorrow.

((((Sarah)))) I'm so sorry... I just keep hoping it ends up not as bad as they're expecting.

The UPS people here just drop packages off on the porch too. They used to require signatures, but not anymore. I guess it's a good thing in some ways, but I've had packages stolen from my porch before too, so not always a good thing.

((((((Nicole)))))) You're not being a baby. I would definitely feel the same way as you are right now. Does Lorne know that it bothers you?
I will pray that you will be able to find some friends.

Sarah, oh no! about your mom. That would be such an awful feeling.
Did anyone see the Fox news reporter get swept off his feet by the waves? That was pretty funny I thought!!

I just got home from Wal-mart where I got a "bath" lol! You know those Culligan water vending machines? I was walking past one of those where a man was filling up a 5 gallon jug and he dropped it! My back got allll wet.

I guess I will do that alone now since he is still going to the zoo thing with his boss and his boss' wife and another guy from work. I didn't think he would go without me like that. And yes, I am jealous cuz the zoo is my place and he might get to meet animals up close and personal.




Help me out here, I haven't read all your posts. How come you're not going as well?

I'm very glad your mom got out. I don't remember if you said if the rest of your family in the general area was leaving too?

Ok, Nicole I'll go read that....good thing you told me b/c I didn't get the notice that I had a message.

Oh, you asked yesterday how the kittens were. I put them back outside and they're all doing good. They are eating real food now (all but one of them) and the mama kitty is letting them nurse some again.

I have some family in east Texas too. They are pretty far inland though so I don't know how things will be for them. Probably really really wet!

yes...thanks for asking btw. My older brother and his wife live in Beaumont...they headed to my younger brother's house in Austin. I don't have any clue about my dad, he stopped talking to us nearly four years ago...but knowing him there is a good chance he stayed...he works for a local tv station there. I don't really know though. That's all the family I have there.
