from kait77 :
I miss you and your entries. I could really use your advice with the new baby- problems that I really need someone with experience to talk to about.
from kittyladymd :
Just read your latest two entries. I hope all is well. Keep me updated at least via email every now and then and let me know how things are going. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.
from kait77 :
5/24/07 I am sorry you are leaving Dland. I hope that things are somehow better for you. I wish that somehow I could lighten your load.
from cleanstart :
5/23/07~Hey hun, I hope everything is OK!?! Hugs to you and your family!!!
from kait77 :
Wishing you a healthier summer.
from kait77 :
hope everyone is feeling better.
from cleanstart :
Sening Get Well Wishes your way... Hope everyone feels better real soon!
from kait77 :
I hope things continue to improve. It is odd how one can get distracted from weight-loss goals by life.
from sunnflower :
Happy New Year, hon! I hope 2007 is good to you. Glad your holidays turned out nicely.
from kittyladymd :
Glad that you had a nice holiday despite the sickies and I'm also hoping this is a much better year for all of you!
from kait77 :
I hope this treatment will work and that you will have a chance to seek better answers- also that those answers will be positive in nature.
from nacwolin :
I am sorry to hear about Aidan's spasms returning. You are amazing, the way you handle everything. ((hugs))
from kait77 :
I asked because of what they believed killed my son- a rare metabolic disorder tied to recessive genes.
from kittyladymd :
Oh jeesh Tara, that sucks that you take so many steps forward only to fall backward again. I can't imagine how frustrated you must be with all of this and poor little guy! I hope once again that someday soon you'll get some answers for him, the right answers!
from kait77 :
I dunno if this has already been explored or not but have you had extensive metabolic testing like the extended newborn screening done yet? Something about your situation sounds familiar and I have done a lot of research into genetically linked metabolic issues. Sometimes the doctors miss these as they are rare.
from cleanstart :
I'm glad things are going good..Hugs~
from kittyladymd :
I'm glad he's finally getting started on this treatment and hopefully it will work quickly!
from sunnflower :
I am glad the meds are in hand. My prayers are with you all.
from cleanstart :
Hugs to Aidan, hugs to you all! I have placed your family in my prayers, and a special prayer for Aidan!! MUWAH~
from kittyladymd :
Sorry to hear about the sucky insurance companies. I hope you get it resolved soon!
from sonshinegirl :
hey tara, i didn't get to talk to you today, but i just wanted to say that i;m sorry about mom-mom. hugs to you!
from kittyladymd :
Oh, poor guy! I can't imagine. Yet, is it wrong that I'm happy for the fact that you'll still be able to take your vacation? I hope you do and you enjoy it!
from cleanstart :
Girl, that poor little man has gone through so much at such a young age. He's definitely a tough guy! Hugs to you all!
from kittyladymd :
I'm so sorry to hear about Aidan and of course your vacation being delayed, but if it means you find some answers and Aidan can enjoy himself even more by the time you go, it will all be worth it. Good luck!
from kait77 :
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry your vacation is being delayed but it is for all the right reasons.
from batten :
Will continue to keep you all in my prayers. Big hug to you. Hang in there. -J
from sewingmama :
Dillon has a new, straight-from-college teacher for 3rd grade this year, too. His BTS night isn't until next week, though. HIs first soccer game is tomorrow, and he's SO excited!
from janie12975 :
Ugh, he got stuck in the traffic jam caused by those idiot car thieves. I wish our soccer practices had been cancelled, but they practice rain or shine here. Alex had practice in the rain on Tuesday.
from cleanstart :
I hope school night goes well! And we are going to Disney again in Nov., too bad we aren't going to be there at the same time. I'd love to meet you and your family! I hope you all have a great trip!
from janie12975 :
Home improvements are so fun! Not! Ugh. We are in the middle of redoing our room, the girls room AND the boys room. And Steve vacation is over and we still aren't done. So I totally feel your pain! Haven't heard from the soccer coaches yet though.
from kait77 :
Hope that all is improving. I am glad soccer is going well, even if it takes a huge chunk of your time.
from pooh67 :
Oh, honey! You posted this days ago and I didn't know! I'm so sorry. I hope everything is going ok and I'll add my prayers for you all. Hugs.
from kait77 :
http://www.sptimes.com/2006/08/13/Columns/Non_Christians_need_n.shtml pass this along still praying for you and yours.
from cleanstart :
Lots of hugs and prayers for you all! Your poor family has been through lots! I love you lady!! Hugs~
from kittyladymd :
Keeping Aidan and your family in my thoughts of course.
from nacwolin :
Prayer offered for Aidan, and for you all too - keep us posted.
from kait77 :
I will be praying for you and yours. This must be especially hard given how little he is. It is horrible to watch your child suffer and be helpless beyond trying to find the right doctor and treatment.
from kittyladymd :
I hope you get some answers very soon and good for you for making the decision on the sport schedule. It sounds exhausting! Best of luck!
from cleanstart :
Hey girl, glad you updated... Prayers for good answers regarding Aiden. And your sports schedule sounds a little like mine, until this year when I had to limit my kids sports because school has to fit in there somewhere.. It's so much fun, but so hectic too. Hugs to your family!
from sewingmama :
Nice to see you! Glad your sports schedule is going to slow down a bit. D started soccer (first time he's played) last week, and it was stifling, I can't imagine having done it all thorugh July, too! I think I prefer baseball, much milder season. ;)
from cleanstart :
HUGS Tara!!
from kittyladymd :
Sorry you still don't have the answers yet. Enjoy that vacation and if you venture to the Bethany area and are in the mood for Mexican, I highly recommend Matteo's Salsa Loco! Oh, and should I place my Disney Store Outlet order with you now??
from marlen816 :
Yeah, the PChef conference is in Chicago and even though I should be packing and stuff we paid for it before we decided to make the move, so off to Chicago I go!
from nacwolin :
Wow, you all got it worse than us, that's for sure! Just a little soggy here, but no standing water. Our neighbor said his rain gauge logged 15 inches since Saturday - yikes!!!
from sonshinegirl :
hey tara, thanks for the info. unfortunately right now, i am working on paying down my debt, so maybe i can get approved for more than 85%. thanks again! it's good to know, i will keep checking too!
from the-big-day :
I'm glad you enjoy it. You might be my only reader!
from sewingmama :
Don't know what's up, but *hugs*, hope it gets better. When are the kids out of school? D got out on the 8th. :)
from cleanstart :
Hugs Tara!
from kait77 :
http://www.evanwashere.com/StolenSidekick/ Dunno why I am passing this on to you, but it may bring you a few laughs once the mess described is straightened out.
from kait77 :
I hope you are all doing well. I understand completely why you need a break. I hope you will pop back once in a while and say hi to let us all know you are still alive out there. I wish I could do something to help, but I know that with things like what you have to deal with the only thing that can help is good news.
from cleanstart :
Oh, I'm gonna miss you but I TOTALLY understand needing a break and having priorities! Hugs and take care.
from nacwolin :
We'll be here when you come back :-).
from cleanstart :
How handsome! I love the curls!
from kittyladymd :
Well if I remember the photos of your other son it seems like there is a good resemblance of him looking like his brother. It's a bit tough to see the curls though. I really miss Noah's curls! :( If we do WDW it will also be at the same time, but it will just be Frank and I and no kids. Maybe we'll use you as an excuse to come check out SS though!
from marlen816 :
What a cutie! Love the curls =)
from mybrokenroad :
Yep, that's Steve! I think you used the wrong html code for the pic, though. Try the < IMG SRC > rather than [ img ]. :)
from nacwolin :
Hey, did you get my email about Memorial Day (Monday)?
from cleanstart :
We are going back to Disney again this year too. We are staying at Liki Tiki Village Nov. 19th-26th. After this visit, we are going to lay off Disney for a while. It's fun, but we've gone for the past 3 years, twice a year! Yikes! I'm ready for a relaxing vacation on the beach or in a cabin on the lake somewhere.
from kittyladymd :
So, let me know when you are heading to WDW as there's still a slight chance we may go in October as well!
from cleanstart :
Happy 9th Birthday to your daughter!
from kait77 :
I hope that things will improve soon. You could always lock your diary and send password to only those you want able to access.
from cleanstart :
Hugs, I don't know why this "person" can't stay out of you diary. You've voiced your request for them to stay out, so what's so hard for them to understand? Hey, I bet their boss would love to know that they are spending their work hours surfing the net!! Oh yeah....;o)
from kait77 :
I hope all is well and things are settling down. Please stop by and read my entry on lupus research and then pass the info on to as many people as you can. Women and children are hurt by what congress is planning and the bill affects a heck of a lot more than just lupus research.
from cleanstart :
Hugs to you, I hope everything is OK!
from nacwolin :
Okay, way to leave us all hanging! I do hope everything is okay. Let us know.
from marlen816 :
Happy Birthday Aidan!!
from nacwolin :
Happy Birthday to Aidan - hard to believe his two already!!
from cleanstart :
THANKS~
from kait77 :
hope all is well, my classes are finally over so I am catching up on a few things like dl.
from katress :
Mabel Stale Peeps? Oh my goodness!!! LOL
from kait77 :
Thanks I will be seeing a doctor soon but have a paper due and finals coming up so a real post will be long in coming. I sometimes hate being female- so much can go wrong and be so hard to find and fix. If you can't tell I am having female trouble.
from kait77 :
hope things calm down for you. I am glad no one seems interested in stalking me, although I sometimes wish I had a life interesting enough to attract readers. Then again an interesting life is some old chinese curse so maybe I am lucky. Sorry you are having problems with someone behaving stalker like. I know I visit frequently but don't think I have ever come 4 times in a single day.
from cleanstart :
Well, I'm glad you don't have a "real" stalker!
from cleanstart :
YIKES, you have a stalker???
from tara10573 :
It's funny how ones IP address can change, but there lat/longitude stay the same. I feel like I almost have a stalker - isn't that a funny thought?
from cleanstart :
Good willies... you WERE a busy mom this weekend. EIGHT games in 2 days, YIKES! And I really hope that you all can get some answers on Aidens condition really soon. I read your entries and feel so bad for you all. I know that you've got to be so exhausted!! BIG hugs to you Tara!!
from janie12975 :
Sounds like you were in the hospital. I know St Agnes has a Subway. Hmmm, I'm so bad at these guessing games. I hope everyone is ok!
from marlen816 :
Where you in the hospital with someone??
from twoseasons :
Happy St Patrick's Day! I hope all is well. :) Enjoy your weekend.
from cleanstart :
Wow, that looks really fun! I hope you all have a awesome time!
from kait77 :
I have a link you may or may not find useful. If Aiden's B12 levels are low definately read this http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1438.htm as it is something you may want to look into
from janie12975 :
(((Hugs))) to you. I wish there was something more I could do besides pray that you get answers and get them quickly. Call me if you need to talk.
from kittyladymd :
Hope you get some answers soon. I'm sure it's frustrating.
from marlen816 :
Sorry you guys are still waiting for answers. We'll still be praying. ((Hugs))
from kait77 :
Glad to hear you are okay. I feel for you and your full schedule becoming even more full with sports schedules being added.
from kait77 :
How are you doing and feeling in all of this? Sometimes we get lost in the details and forget that others would like to know how we are feeling emotionally so they can offer support and/or encouragement that is apropriate to our mood. I have lost sight of this and was reminded by someone to talk about my feelings once in a while.
from marlen816 :
Yeah, for the red in the kitchen we needed primer, but that was on wooden cabinets. I thought it would be okay on the white. Next time hopefully I will remember. That is neat that you saw Wendy. I haven't seen her in 6 years. I recented started talking to some people from St Philip Neri. Do you remember Kristen Raynic? She married one of the guys I went to school with - Andy Creel. Anyway, I don't remember her, but she remembers me.
from marlen816 :
Yea for getting A's braces soon!
from janie12975 :
Glad to hear that the doc was on the ball with getting Aidan his braces. ((((Hugs)))) to you and the little guy.
from kittyladymd :
Thanks for the great care package ideas! I hope A's appointment goes well today and you get everything he needs quickly. I had no idea about the hearing loss...poor guy just can't catch a break but it sounds like he's well on his way to getting everything he needs thanks to a great Mommy!
from nacwolin :
When you say "profoundly deaf", does that mean there is some hearing ability that aids can help with? Will you all begin to learn/teach him sign? Keep us posted on is prognoses.
from kittyladymd :
I like your 100th day idea much better. I'll have to remember that one NEXT year at this time! Hope all is well!
from kait77 :
Hope all apointments are going well and that things are begining to settle down. Wish you had one of these up because it would be a lot of fun to see your results http://kevan.org/johari?name=kait77
from janie12975 :
Oh man, that poor little guy! Although, he seems oblivious and happy. You get to be the one with all the headaches trying to keep this all straight. One thing, at least they seem to be moving quickly with him. It always seemed like you had such a hard time with Taylor. (((hugs)))
from kittyladymd :
Oh man, I don't know how you keep it all straight! You just MUST be Supermom! I've ended up at the wrong office before, and that was just for me having 3 or 4 different places to go during the course of a few months. I hope everything works out and you get some answers for both your oldest and youngest very soon!
from kait77 :
You know I thought I was bad. I have a regular doctor, a rheumetologist, a cardiologist, an asthma/allergy/immunology specialist, an endocronologist, and may still need a nephrologist, ENT, and hemetologist depending on my current blood work. But dang your little guy is less than 2 yrs old and I am 28. I keep a calander with apointments and location in RED (very large calander fyi) plus a list in my wallet that is updated every week. I list other activities and apointments in blue or black you may need a similar calander except a different ink for each family memeber-- actually 2 for each one for normal activities and one for doctor/other urgent apointments. I wish you luck and the latest addition does sound the most inpressive- actually scary too.
from babyontheway :
WOW!! He's one busy little man. Let me know if I can help out any of the days he has appointments...and don't worry about getting mixed up. You are the most organized perosn I know!
from cleanstart :
HUGS!
from kait77 :
I am so sorry you have all this going on. I would offer to trade places for a few days but I doubt you would enjoy the time while I would likely be reluctant to return to my own life. I hope you are taking time for yourself and that your hubby does something really awesome for Valentine's Day for you. Wishing you and yours a speedy recovery and good news.
from cleanstart :
Hugs... Happy Valentine's Day!
from marlen816 :
Do you want to skip breakfast due to your sick kiddos? I'll be at mom's later. Give me a call.
from babyontheway :
ugh!! sorry they are still sick! I really hope that nasty sick bug leaves you all soon, and it never gets to Aidan.
from nacwolin :
Bummer that everyone is sick on V-Day - hope Steve does something nice for you anyway :-).
from cleanstart :
Ewww... playing soccer sounds fun!
from babyontheway :
Yea, I'm with Mar...now that is something interesting I would have liked to hear about! :o) You'll tell me all about it at the kids game today, right?
from marlen816 :
When did you start playing soccer??
from marlen816 :
I am heading to MD with Kari and Noah from 2/11-2/20. I will be in Waldorf with Janie and co. until sometime Tuesday. Maybe when I get back to Mom's we can get together. Tell Steve Happy Belated Birthday. I am such a bad cousin!
from kittyladymd :
Such great news for Aidan! Hope all the other tests go well. Wishing you speedy results on Taylor's bloodwork and a happy belated birthday to your hubby. I'm reaching that same birthday next month myself.
from janie12975 :
Oh hey, I know this is late, but I'm going to have a little party (just family) here on Sunday for Josiah. I would have done it this week, but Brian had the kids. So yeah, you, Steve and the kidlets are invited. Hope to see ya!
from marlen816 :
Glad things seem to be going well for Aidan - hope they can figure out the runny nose and tiredness midday. Let us know what Taylor'sresults are. I miss Josh playing soccer.
from kait77 :
Hope all continues to go well. Hubby's can be real jerks sometimes but others they can really suprise you and come through like yours did. I am currently considering building a dog house for mine- if you want to know what he did read my entry 1/22
from kathy2172 :
Glad to hear about Aidan, that is great news. Something I always do to my husband when he's being rude is flirt alot then go to sleep.
from marlen816 :
Yea for no tubes and glad Steve got with the program tonight. WTG Courtney!
from cleanstart :
Yikes, he better snap out of that game and help out before he gets green beans all overhim, huh? LOL.. hugs, I hope this evening gets better for ya!
from cleanstart :
I'm glad that Aidan is doing so well, and I hope it continues!
from kait77 :
Hope Aiden is still doing wonderfully well. I hope this diet really works for him and that he can go off medication. I hate medication myself I can't imagine how such a young one must feel to take medication all the time.
from janie12975 :
That is so great to hear!!!! I'm going to keep praying for the little guy! And for you too, I know what you are doing isn't easy either. Way to go for being such a great mom, willing to do what it takes for that little guy. He's lucky to have a mom like you!
from kittyladymd :
What WONDERFUL news! Way to go!!!
from cleanstart :
I'm glad to hear he's doing great! It's wild to think something like that can trigger something in a kid and cause seizures. I hope that he remains seizure free!!
from cleanstart :
Great news about Aiden!
from nacwolin :
Can you share what it is that they think Taylor has?
from cleanstart :
Hugs to your entire family. I hope 2006 brings many answers and cures for your family!
from kittyladymd :
Wow, I just read up on the program. That's going to be tough. Good luck to you. I was also unsure as to why he was starting this, though it seems to be something to control seizures, and I guess I didn't realize he was having them so often. I'm sure Steve will have a new appreciation for what you went through while he was gone after those few days at home!
from marlen816 :
We'll be praying for Aidan.
from cleanstart :
Hugs to Aiden, and your entire family. I will place him/ya'll in my prayers!
from nacwolin :
Keep us posted on how it goes with Aidan. I am not sure I remember why they are trying this diet - is it supposed to help with weight gain, or the seizures, or both...or something else entirely?
from sunnflower :
Merry Christmas! Hope you had a wonderful time over the holidays in spite of the winter holiday mindset of today's political correct school systems. I mean, I a sorry but it is Christmas whether they like it or not.
from janie12975 :
What a cutie! Awesome that you got the card already. Hopefully that means all the out of state people will get them before Christmas. Now you have your very own picture of J looking possessed. He kept looking up, so I told him not to look up. I suppose that's my fault then, eh?
from wendyloo :
Oh man I feel for you, I had my kids in the drs today for this crappy ongoing congestion and cough, just postnasal and no infections so were dealing, they better be well for Christmas!
from kait77 :
He is so cute. Hope your Christmas is merry, sorry to hear about the illness hope it gets gone really soon. My Christmas is definately looking up.
from marlen816 :
Every body else is doing well. Dev and Cody are with Amy until Christmas Day and Josh is preparing to fly to Michigan on Thursday. We are looking forward to a few days with just the little ones.
from marlen816 :
Aidan looks so cute! Sorry to hear Taylor is sick. Noah is not feeling well either - runny nose and cough. One more day of Triaminic and then we may have to visit the doctor. ((Hugs)) and prayers for Taylor to get better and everyone else to stay healthy!
from twoseasons :
Autumn is still on U8 for indoor season. We could have put her on U10 this past outdoor, but we decided to keep her on the younger team until next fall since she just turned 8 in Oct. Now, for the club team she was on (long story, she is no longer with them), that was U9/10. Some of the girls on the other teams were almost a foot taller than her! Autumn isn't the tallest kid in the world, lol, so we thought it was best to keep her down 1 more year. Plus, with being one of the oldest on the team, she really came out of her shell this year.
from kait77 :
Some adults are worse than 3 yr olds. I too wish the drama in my life would stop. Hope things are going well outside soccer drama.
from babyontheway :
Oh Geez! I guess some people never grow up...even when they become parents. They should have just let it go and moved on. If the kid wanted to play bad enough, they could have found another league for her, I'm sure. C has been doing great! She deserves to stay on the team as hard as she has been working. Phoeey on the others. I like your new layout BTW, looks nice!
from marlen816 :
Yeah, everybody thinks life is like One Tree Hill or something. I hate, hate, hate the drama!!!
from janie12975 :
Here's a link to some winter layouts. Let me know what you think. There aren't as many design sites as there used to be! http://rpdesigns.sytes.org/temp/seasonal.php
from cleanstart :
Uh oh, just think... now you get a new fresh look to your diary..
from kait77 :
Darn and your layout was so cute. Good luck with the diet thing too I hope it works
from janie12975 :
Oh no! Do you need some help? I can find you a layout today if you need me to and set it up. Oh, and I'm going to call you today!!!! It's been forever since we have talked. I miss ya girl!
from cleanstart :
Oh, I think that you should paint a big smiley face on the backside of your fence that faces her house....lol
from cleanstart :
Hugs to your family!
from cleanstart :
I am so excited to already have my tree up! I usually don't get started this quick. And I have quite a bt of my kids Christmas bought too. Makes the holiday less stressful. I will have to try this every year. And the tree, it made decorating the tree so much more fun! Hope all is well with your family. Seems you've had a tough time with a sick kiddo. Hugs~
from marlen816 :
Dealt with that a few weeks ago - Kari, Josh and Rick all had it. ((Hugs)) and prayers for feeling better.
from janie12975 :
Hope you are feeling better soon! It skipped me around here. Just Victoria so far.
from kait77 :
CONGRATS Courtney!!!! Enjoy the break.
from batten :
Hang in there, honey. It'll be okay. Get some rest and keep us posted when you can. Praying for you and yours. Big hug. -J
from kait77 :
Glad to hear at least one of your little ones is responding so well to medication. I hope the diet or med increase will help your baby. (I know he is too old to be considered a baby but he is your baby kinda like my 8yr old is my baby) I do hope you have a wonderful holiday. Happy Thanksgiving Early
from janie12975 :
Happy Belated Anniversary! How are Aidan and Taylor doing? I think about you all so much. Things are just crazy around here most days! When does soccer end so we can all get together?
from marlen816 :
Happy Anniversary! That's neat - your 13th on the 13th!
from marlen816 :
Will be praying for Aidan and all that is going on with him. Glad Taylor's upped dosage seems to be working. ((Hugs)) to everyone!
from sixweasels :
Poor little guy! I'm glad he's better. Hugs.
from babyontheway :
Oh MY!! That rash DID get worse from when I saw him on Friday. Glad he's all better now, and hopefully that dehumidifier works on the basement.
from kait77 :
hey I recall that disease- my oldest scared me spitless by getting it. She had already had menegitis which nearly killed me with stress and worry. She then went on to get sepsis. Aren't kids fun? Sorry to hear about the water but glad Aiden is okay.
from marlen816 :
Ugh about the water. Glad Aidan is feeling better.
from nacwolin :
Just getting caught up on some entries - didn't know about the seizures; keep us posted. And I hope Aidan is feeling better now too.
from kait77 :
HAppy late birthday. Seems a lot of excitement occured while I was in the hospital. I hope your little one is okay and that they discover a simple and easily fixed cause.
from babyontheway :
Happy Birthday toooo youuuuu....Oh I will spare you my singing!! Hope you have a great day!
from kittyladymd :
Oh no, poor little guy. I hope he's feeling better today!
from marlen816 :
Happy Birthday Taylor! What a cute story. I love my girl!
from kittyladymd :
Oh, poor Taylor! I hope the medicine helps and you get some answers soon about why this is happening. Poor thing!
from kait77 :
I am so sorry the seizures are back. I also know that they can be scary because my husband told me just how scary mine are. Can't say I have ever been in your shoes but you have my prayers that this all works out, I don't know if I could handle what you are going through.
from babyontheway :
Ben says Thank You!! And he wanted to know if you made hima cake...that mean old mommy of his didn't make him one!:o)
from kittyladymd :
Hey, I have a baby that loves to pinch saying "OW!" at the same time too! Too cute, both of those photos! Thanks for the info on the school volunteering stuff. I skipped the meeting today so I may try to call the school and set something up for us at a better time and see what they say.
from kait77 :
I remember that feeling with my youngest girl. You have had work crisies before, could you offer guidance on mine? I have to choose between 2 options as 1 decision has been made.
from marlen816 :
LOL! Noah has already had a few of those. Sometimes they are funny.
from babyontheway :
OMG!!! I wish you did catch that! I would have loved that...mild mannered Aidan no more, huh?
from sunnflower :
Those first day of school pictures are just precious.
from kittyladymd :
I was also coming to post about Taylor...any word about her? Is she doing better? Dylan looks great in the glasses too!
from janie12975 :
The girls look adorable and I love Dylan's glasses! So cute. Glad to hear the pediasure is helping Aidan's weight gain. Jocelyn still drinks that stuff at Ms Deb's, but she never needed help with weight gain, lol.
from dana-elayne :
Awww :) Such cutiepie kids.
from marlen816 :
Dylan's glasses are very cool. Any more news about Taylor? Did she ever have that MRI?
from kait77 :
I hope that things work out and your precious little one is okay. Hopefully all this is just after effect from the siezure episode. I know how hard it is to watch your child be sick and not know what is wrong. I will say a prayer for you.
from kittyladymd :
Poor Taylor! I hope you get that MRI scheduled soon just to help put your mind to rest.
from kait77 :
Have fun this weekend
from marlen816 :
Have fun in DE this weekend.
from babyontheway :
OOOOPSS!!! hrmmm...I don't think coldLAY sounds too interesting...not my thing, but I'm definately excited about coldPlay! That was funny! Thanks for pointing out my inability to type!LOL!
from kait77 :
I will say a prayer for you and Taylor
from nacwolin :
We are so glad to hear that she is doing better.
from batten :
Tara, keeping you and Taylor in my prayers. Please keep us posted on how she's doing.Big hug to you. -J
from dana-elayne :
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry at how scary that was for you. Your family and Taylor will be in my thoughts!
from sixweasels :
How scary! I will be keeping Taylor in my prayers.
from kait77 :
I hope daycare goes better this time than it did last time. I also think year round school is a good idea- shorter breaks means not having to relearn everything that has been forgotten over the summer. The first half of the school year is just that- redoing last year so that new stuff can be learned.
from kait77 :
I took the name thing from you it was fun. I hope all is well with you and yours
from kait77 :
my 7/29 entry contains info you may not be aware of that you should have
from kittyladymd :
Yeah for more photos! We loved SeaWorld too. It's not Disney, but it's still great. So, where are the photos with Mickey Mouse? I hope you got at least one of those!
from sunnflower :
I love your vacation pictues and your attention to yard and home is an inspiration.
from kittyladymd :
Very cool photos! I understand completely Taylor's issues with the It's a Bug show though!
from kait77 :
cool pics. We have a rainforest cafe at our local mall and it is DEFINATELY an interesting place to eat- we also have a huge gorrilla as well as other jungle animals there.
from janie12975 :
Bear in the big blue house looks so cool. And Josiah is sitting here drooling over the Star Wars ride, lol.
from janie12975 :
Great pictures of the kids. Glad to hear you had a good time in Disney. I wasn't sure if Dennis messed it up for ya. I can't wait to see pictures!
from nacwolin :
Sounds like you all had a good time; looking forward to reading about the rest!
from kittyladymd :
Wow, welcome back and congrats! We've debated joining "the club" a few times as well, but so far we haven't taken the plunge quite yet. I've "rented" points from other club members before though, and that has worked out great! I can't wait to see photos!
from sunnflower :
What beautiful pictures of the kids!
from kittyladymd :
Great photos! Enjoy Disney and take lots of photos to share when you return so I can live vicariously through you!
from babyontheway :
I LOVE those pictures...what's up with Mr. Serious, though? They look good!!
from kait77 :
SOOOOO cute
from manda-d :
How great are those pictures? TOO CUTE
from nacwolin :
Great photos. Have a good time @ Disney!
from babyontheway :
Let us know if you need help with the garage thing. Hope you all had a good time iwth the family!
from kittyladymd :
To answer your question (better late than never I guess) baby Z is about 21 pounds I think, wearing 12-18 month clothes and not quite 6 months old yet! Poor D about not having friends. I could drop my 5-year-old off at your house if he wants to have a playdate!
from kait77 :
ah yes, the mouthy pre-teen stage. From what I understand it only gets worse. I dread the teen years.
from kait77 :
Thanks it is nice to know I am not the only one with this kind of stuff happening- my hubby definately thought I was. I hope your vacation goes well.
from kait77 :
I hope the stress doesn't get to you from having your own kids plus daycare kids all day. I also hope the time flies between now and your vacation.
from kittyladymd :
What kind of IDIOT makes you pay to see your own child get an award like that? What morons decided that? I don't blame you. I would not pay either. Sorry about the strep thing. Oh, and the place where you are staying in July looks REALLY nice!
from babyontheway :
I'm starting to realize...nothing settles down once you have more then one kid :o) And then the older they get....if you need help keeping someone or doing something for ya, let me know...I'm free!!
from kait77 :
Sounds like you had a rough night. Thanks for the warning I will never be insane enough to have a slumber party after your account.
from frogmom :
what a cute room!
from marlen816 :
The girls' room looks great! I like the border and the quilts.
from nacwolin :
The room looks very nice. Any time you want to come down here and paint for me, just let me know! :-D
from lovelydaisy :
it looks really nice! We want to do some painting, but we don't own so it's neutral colors that go with Brown carpet. Oh well, soon enough :) But i love the color so much! and that border is to die for!
from kait77 :
It looks really nice. I wish I could paint, but we rent and besides with lupus I probably shouldn't be around the paint fumes anyway. I hate white walls and not being able to even hand pictures. But you did an awesome job. Maybe someday I will hire you to decorate my house ;)
from kittyladymd :
Wow, the room looks really great. Good job!
from kait77 :
Glad she finally got her goal. Hope all is going well with you.
from nacwolin :
YAY Miss Tortnee!!!
from marlen816 :
WTG Courtney!
from kittyladymd :
Way to go Courtney!!!
from babyontheway :
That a girl! I'm so proud!! I hope you took pictures or something. Way to go, Courtney!
from babyontheway :
I got the same one as you, only the 4.o mp...and yep, that's Aidan's outfit!! I LOVE that outfit!!!
from kittyladymd :
Hope you got that room painted...if you'd like I have a few rooms in my house to be done too! :) Anyway, baby Z is a HEALTHY 19.5 pounds or so I believe, at age 4 months! In other words, as heavy as Noah is at 10 months, and a few inches shorter! Why do you think I made FRANK hold him for the photos?? :)
from lovelydaisy :
Hope you enjoy painting, we are going to do that this summer here, our living room needs it :) Hope you have a wonderful week :).....Carrie
from kittyladymd :
Very cute! I'm glad the MRI didn't show anything and hopeful that he's just taking his sweet time and he'll be running around in no time!
from nacwolin :
Cute pics. That first year goes by so quickly, doesn't it?
from dana-elayne :
Happy Birthday Aidan :) I hope that you have yummy cake and wonderful presents!
from wifemotherme :
OH praise God for the good report. I do hope he is feeling better soon, I also wanted to tell you that all three of my husbands daughers had sizures as a baby and they simple "outgrew them" all three are healthy adults now. My own N did not walk until after her 1st bday and she too is perfectly fine now. I will keep Adien in my prayers.
from wifemotherme :
Have you ever heard the song by Rich Mullins Called "Let Mercy Lead"? Lyrics that I recall start off Aidan you're young But Aidan you're growing fast Me and your mom And all the love we have We can only take you so far As far as we can But you'll need something more to guide your heart As you grow into a man CHORUS: Let mercy lead Let love be the strength in your legs And in every footprint that you leave There'll be a drop of grace If we can reach Beyond the wisdom of this age Into the foolishness of God That foolishness will save Those who believe Let mercy Lead
from lovelydaisy :
you have a little heartbreaker on ur hands already. Ethan was like that with the nurses at the hospital when he went for his surgery. :)
from kait77 :
http://www.lupus.org/webmodules/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=268&z=14 Please visit this link and support the legislation I hope your little one is okay
from wifemotherme :
Tara my heart really goes out to you right now - Peace be with you today. The baby is in my prayers (well so are you :)
from janie12975 :
Love the pictures, esp the first one. The 2nd one, Aidan really looks like Steve. And man, Dylan is still your dad all over!
from kittyladymd :
He just looks SO SERIOUS in that first photo Tara! Too cute! I hope the tests go well tomorrow and try not to worry. I hate missing my kids' doctor visits too but I'm sure he'll be fine with Daddy. Hopefully everything will go well. Noelle didn't walk until WELL after her 1st birthday, so maybe he is just enjoying the scenery for now! I can't believe it's been a year for you already and that I'm not too far behind with mine! We should get these guys together now that they are older sometime!
from babyontheway :
Ok, I will make sure that I do NOT go into labor tomorrow!!!! I don't want to add one MORE to that mix!!! Hope all goes well, and if you need an extra set of hands, I will come over and help out! Not like I'm doing anything else!!!
from kait77 :
Hope all is well. Come by and read my 4/20 entry it might or might not be something that interests you.
from kait77 :
Sounds like you had an interesting weekend. Good luck with those birthdays coming up. I remember having a one year old- sometimes I miss it so much but I can't have anymore no matter how much I would like o. Enjoy this time. Especially if this is to be your last.
from kittyladymd :
Way to go Aidan! What a trooper! Yes, Nicolas is the only one of mine you haven't met yet, and if you were to see him in person there would be no doubt he got MY genes, though I'd love to have his body fat instead of mine!
from zencelt :
Hi there! I just finished catching up with your diary, and saw the beautiful pics of your Aidan! He's a sharp looking fella. Good luck with all the testing. Its sounds like you are finally in good hands.
from kait77 :
I hope your week is going better than mine. You know what they say when it rains it pours while when the doctor decides to give bad news it pours as well. Have fun shopping I hope to need new clothes by Christmas (smaller- much smaller)
from babyontheway :
Ugh!! What a messy weekend!! So, ummmm...when are we going shopping for clothes? Of course, I cannot buy any for myself, but I can come along while you pick out stuff....I MISS clothes shopping! That, and I need to get out and walk around....or, should I say, I need to walk this baby out!!
from kait77 :
I remember a day like that- I lost almost everything I owned and some moron hit my car and left w/o leaving so much as a not saying sorry. Sorry you had such a bad day I hope your week improves.
from kittyladymd :
What GREAT pictures. He's so cute. How did his appointment go?
from babyontheway :
AWWW!! I just LOVE overalls!! He looks too darn cute!!
from kait77 :
He is so cute I hope his apointment gives you better news than I got at mine. MUCH BETTER like he is okay it was a virus or something and won't happen again. Good luck and many prayers headed your way.
from pashiesplace :
Hugs, prayers & luck.
from sixweasels :
I'm keeping Aiden in my thoughts and prayers!
from nacwolin :
Keep us posted on Aidan; you know we'll pray.
from batten :
Hey woman, you and Aidan are on the top of my prayer list. Please keep us posted. All the best to you. Big hug and much love, -J
from wifemotherme :
He is just too cute for words!! Prayers said. God Bless the little guy
from wifemotherme :
He is just too cute for words!! Prayers said. God Bless the little guy
from drewbears :
Oh my goodness!!! I can't get over how big he has gotten and he is just so cute!!!!
from kittyladymd :
How CUTE! I LOVE the outfit too! I didn't even let Noah have a taste of any Easter candy, although he's had a few tastes of birthday cakes over the last few weeks. Looks like your little one LOVED it and had a great time!
from twoseasons :
OMGosh what a cutie patootie! I LOVE that outfit. Don't worry.. i've done that with pics before too. You get so caught up in getting all those cute pics, you kinda forget about taking others! LOL
from pooh67 :
OMG!!! The Cuteness!!!
from lovelydaisy :
pics won't work and can't copy the links :(
from kait77 :
Yeah when I first got back in this morning I had not a clue what I had wanted to say yesterday. At least this afternoon I had something interesting to post.
from kait77 :
Let me know if you find a way to post I have gotten the busy msg ALL DAY and tried for a minimum of 15min each time
from kait77 :
I hope everyone is well and you get a chance to update soon. I had the most amazing day yesterday (3/19). I hope your weekend has been good thus far mine was just the best it could have been.
from kait77 :
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Could you come by and look at today's (3/17) entry? THANKS!
from babyontheway :
AWWW...I feel so bad for her, first that she is so sick, and then that she no longer has the perfect attendance. Poor kid. Tell her I'll bring her over a BIG ice cream if it'll help her feel better! Give her hugs for me, k?
from janie12975 :
So, the important question is, did this mess up her perfect attendance? Poor kid, I hope she feels better!
from babyontheway :
Ugh! Sorry to hear that C is now sick. But, on the other hand, I'm glad A is better. I'm starting to feel a tickle in my throat too! C'mon spring!! PS. Let me know when you start those walks...I'll go too! There is a good 30 lbs sitting around me that doesn't need to be there!
from gypsy-poet :
Your weather sounds like ours.. Saturday it was beatuiful, in the mid to upper 60's, I had opened all the windows and enjoyed myself! Sunday and today... the high has been 30, and it is SNOWING!?!?!?! I'm just saying.. Mother Nature needs Prozac!
from babyontheway :
Sorry, but I was laughing my behind off at that one...sounds EXACTLY like something Rachel would do...then she'd say something like"I'm only 3 yrs old, I don't know any better!"
from dana-elayne :
I hope he feels better soon. Just a word of warning though, gastroenteritis can be one of those things that typically happens over and over again. I got it first as a child of 18 months. Every couple of years, I'd wind up with that mess again. *yuck*
from kittyladymd :
Poor little guy. I hope he's feeling better soon.
from marlen816 :
I can send you a copy of the daycare contract I used with my moms if you want me to (it includes sick policies). Just let me know =)
from nacwolin :
I remember that tight rope thing, though I wasn't personally involved!
from manda-d :
OH NO! Where do you live? I heard snow was headed toward us as well (Memphis, TN).
from kittyladymd :
I love the photos. So cute. The drool photos look a lot like Noah's pictures these days too!!
from wifemotherme :
Awww your babys are so precious!
from kait77 :
WoW you have more snow than us. I am in shock.
from kittyladymd :
That's so funny you mentioned that dentist...a friend of mine takes her kids there too and she suggested it also if the one today doesn't work out!
from kittyladymd :
Love the photos! Happy 5th Birthday to the birthday boy too! Hope he enjoys his bowling party this weekend. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do to make Nico's 5th birthday party memorable. It's funny you mentioned 3rd birthday parties too. On Nico's 3rd birthday at the END OF MARCH, I ordered a moonbounce and it SNOWED that day so I ended up having to cancel it!
from pashiesplace :
Oh wow is he growing fast! It seems like you just had him maybe 3 months ago! He can't look like a toddler already! Loved the snow pics too :)
from kait77 :
Hope all is well and peaceful in your household. Good luck with the mobile baby thing I remember how hard it was.
from marlen816 :
Sounds like you had a nice Valentine's Day. I really want to see Hitch now!
from nacwolin :
What a nice V-day celebration. You've got yourself a good guy there, Ms. Tara!
from babyontheway :
Sorry you're so sick!! If it gets bad enough, PLESAE go to the docs...I will watch the kids for you, or whatever you need! What worked for me was Sudafed cold(which I wasn't supposed to take, but it worked soooo well!!)
from kait77 :
eccinatia (sp) and zinc as well as vitamin C loading may help
from kittyladymd :
Congrats to Steve! Hope you are feeling better soon.
from kait77 :
CONGRATS hope you are proud and him pleased
from manda-d :
SAILOR OF THE YEAR! That is fabulous! Congrats!
from gypsy-poet :
OMG congrats!!! I know you must be really proud of him, and he must be very proud of you for all of your support!!! ((hugs))
from marlen816 :
I want to know, too! Post when you know!
from kittyladymd :
Glad I'm not the only one (re: the L salespeople) but we've totally boycotted their rival store, HD. I find the Ls people so much more helpful! Thanks for the PP info, and I may give them a shot when I'm ready to take Noelle for some photos. I'd like to get some professional photos of just her, at age two, now that she's 2 years and 3 months old, but I'm not sure she'll cooperate being very shy around strangers. I hope Taylor's appointment went well too!
from babyontheway :
Great, this could actually happen! I am going to die by being impaled by a rod of frozen urine expelled from a jet....Now I'm afraid to go outside!!
from babyontheway :
That Stinks!!! Let me know if you want company when you venture out!! We'll be up for getting out of the house. And, I can give you a hand with the kids :o)
from kittyladymd :
Good luck with the daycare! I don't think it's just our DHs into the car shopping thing...I have a few other friends whose husbands are the same way. Hope Taylor's appointment goes well...how great that Steve will be there for it.
from kait77 :
I hope your weekend went better than mine.
from kait77 :
Hope you are adjusting well to having your husband home. Enjoy the week at D.W. I can say 3 days would never be long enough with children.
from wifemotherme :
AWWWWW!!!! I hate you are missing your trip but I am happy she does not have to miss a day of school.
from kittyladymd :
Sorry to hear that you had to postpone the vacation. I'm sure June will be great as well, and with the crowds you'll need that extra time there too! Hope you find something fun to do for this weekend.
from babyontheway :
That sucks!! Well, you will have more fun when you get to spend more time down there...not too mention all the cool water parks! You'll have something really great to look forward to, and it's only a couple months away!!
from babyontheway :
Congrats on the new truck! Eddie will be all excited to hear about it! His other fanorite thing, besides computers and baseball, is cars!! He can't wait for the Balt. auto show!!!
from wifemotherme :
1/18 - just sitting thinking of you guys and hoping are having a good time in Disney and praying you did not take my advice about dressing for warm weather, cause its colder than ....well I don't know but its cold dang it!
from kittyladymd :
What a GREAT photo of everyone. Glad he's home safe. I can't wait to hear about the kids' reactions!
from babyontheway :
Awww, what a cute picture! Glad Steve made it home safe.
from nacwolin :
Yippee! Glad he is home safe and sound.
from gypsy-poet :
Oh my stomach is all nervous and fluttery for you!!! And I can't stop smiling! what a tremendous day it will be for you all!!! And you made it through the whole deployment, you are a brave and wonderful woman. ((hugs))
from wifemotherme :
yay!!! I am just sitting here so excited it's almost pathetic (I really should get a life of my own) Go have a joyous reunion! Be Blessed
from wifemotherme :
I am just soooooooo Damn excited for you!!! Hey Tera, Thank you for being such a supportive and loving wife so that your husband could go serve. Thank you for your sacrifices to keep my family safe and God Bless you both.
from kittyladymd :
I agree with Chris on the having some do the video tape thing too! I am sure it will be great. By the way, I have a question for you so can you send me your email address? I tried the msn one and it bounced back!
from kait77 :
I hope these last few days go quickly for you. Be happy.
from babyontheway :
Hehee...I'm Pooh Bear. optimistic and fun loving.
from babyontheway :
You should really take someone with you or have someone meet you there to video tape that moment! That sounds awesome that Steve will just surprise them like that!!
from sixweasels :
Your surprise plans are so cool - this will be something the kids remember for the rest of their lives!
from babyontheway :
WOHOO!! Sounds like everything is getting ready!! If you are going shopping and want company, let me know! I'm always up for a good shopping trip!;o)
from twoseasons :
I am so glad you only have a little over a week left! Ihope it goes really fast !
from kittyladymd :
Wow, time really did go by way too fast. I know what you mean about the men messing up the routine though. Hope it's a smooth transition!
from lovelydaisy :
Hope they fly by for ya :) Hugs :) Carrie
from kait77 :
I hope these last few days fly for you. I envy you the Disney Land thing- I wish I could go now that I am older and would actually enjoy myself.
from wifemotherme :
I was going to give you some shirt buy advice on the drive into disney but I guess we can skip that. Lucky you its a long borning trip to the park! I am just so excited that steve is comeing home. I have spent more time crying over your husband than I have ever spent crying over both of my hahahah
from babyontheway :
Thanks for the input! It helped me with my info. search! Of course your kids school is grat and does all sorts of stuff with the Kindy class, ours on the other hand, basically does nothing. The difference between a blue ribbon school and a not so great one!! Thank you!!!
from kittyladymd :
Of course, I'm INSANELY jealous of your Disney trip but I'm sure you'll have a blast. I know you can't wait for Steve to be home too!
from wifemotherme :
Are you guys flying or driving down? Unles there is a drastic change in the weather you might want to look at Teeshirts instead of sweatshirts - it was in the 80's today. Bring sunscreen!
from kait77 :
I hope you all are well. Good luck with the ER
from marlen816 :
What a neat thing to do with the kiddos. I remember the Christmas party we went to with you and the girls in VA that one year. It was fun.
from janie12975 :
That is really cool that you all are going up there to see the Troops. Yup, show those kids the real meaning of Christmas!
from kittyladymd :
I bet you must be thrilled that he'll be home so soon. I see the "hurry up and wait" policy is still going strong with the service, but hopefully he'll be able to take that direct flight to MD. Thanks for the note!
from kait77 :
Hope he wins the big one. I also hope these next few days hurry by for you.
from marlen816 :
Go Steve! Go Steve! It's your birthday! It's your birthday! Not really, but party anyway! YEA! Awesome, awesome news! And thanks for the Christmas card. It came today =)
from gypsy-poet :
We knew the guy who was Soldier of the year for the Army 5 years ago... they ended winning like $5000 and all of these really incredible prises!!! I will cross my fingers for you!! What an honor!!!!
from kittyladymd :
Congrats to Steve and good luck to him too!
from janie12975 :
Woohoo! Go Steve!
from kittyladymd :
Great pictures!
from gypsy-poet :
What wonderful pictures!!! Of course it helps when the subject matter is cutie patootie.. ;)
from kait77 :
Sorry to hear the little one was doing so poorly. Hope he gets much better very soon. I also hope those few days fly by and the kidos behave over vacation. If nothing else threaten to send them off to private school or better yet military school. It might work, if that fails call on family for help- you deserve it.
from kittyladymd :
Oh NO Tara! Poor little guy! I hope he's feeling better very soon!
from kittyladymd :
Oh my goodness! I was so afraid you were going to say the ceiling collapsed or something but it sounds like Dylan did some major damage. You have been doing a great job hanging in there but it sounds like when Steve does get home you need to leave him with the kids for a few days and escape to a spa somehere! Poor baby Aidan too.
from kait77 :
hope your thanksgiving went well
from sunnflower :
Thanks for stopping by with Thanksgiving wishes. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving too. I'm glad we almost syncronized our menus! Also - I so love your template.
from kait77 :
I really wish that people wouldn't judge others based on one diary entry. I hope the time until your husband comes home flies for you.
from kait77 :
Come by and be amazed at the test results I got
from kait77 :
Where is this test you took? Also love the new layout it is so cute.
from kittyladymd :
Just took the test...and got the same results as you, word for word! Too funny!
from kittyladymd :
I love the new layout and good luck on the soccer tryouts. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for her!
from kait77 :
Happy Anniversery. Hope all goes well. Are the girlscouts selling cookies again? If so I have to avoid them- one of my weaknesses is a certain kind of cookie only they have.
from gypsy-poet :
Happy Aniversary! It is special days like this that make me rethink military life myself. But, like you I have been pretty lucky all things considered... Hope your day is a wonderful one.
from kait77 :
I wish I were even started on my christmas shopping. Unfortunately our income has been unreliable. I do have my daughter's birthday shopping done though, which is good as her birthday is in a few short weeks- right after Thanksgiving but before christmas by less than 20 days.
from kittyladymd :
Another trip to the ER? Poor little guy! Congrats on getting the shopping done and I'm sure you are just counting the days until Steve's return!
from kittyladymd :
Glad to see an update, but sorry you entry disappeared. I hate that and it's always the long ones. Hope all is well!
from kait77 :
Check out the NEW YORK TIMES article this link goes to. Everyone needs to read this before they visit the polls tomorrow. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/26/politics/campaign/26gay.html
from kait77 :
Check out these two links http://ideashappen.msn.com/Entries/Default.aspx?id=16886 http://ideashappen.msn.com/Entries/Default.aspx?id=21596
from kait77 :
Come by read my 10/13 entry and tell me if any of this sounds familiar- like if its just a guy thing
from kait77 :
I am glad so little time is left until he gets home. If you want a laugh come by and read my last 2 entries and see what hubby's new employer pulled. It's 10/13.
from kait77 :
Come by click the link in my latest entry and visit the site and vote.
from gypsy-poet :
I heard that you are celebrating the sixth anniversary of turning 25... Since I just did the same I thought I would say.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
from kait77 :
My oldest will be 10 in December. Thanks for letting me know someone still reads. I guess I am still feeling isolated because everyone here is either a lot older or a lot younger than me and I rarely seem to get to interatct beyond class or work level. I have no life due to how busy I am all day.
from pashiesplace :
Oh, he is precious! Hugs.
from kait77 :
Sorry you feel bad, wanna come trade places for a few days? Maybe you need a break, I know I do.
from sunnflower :
Oh my - sorry you don't feel well. Take care of yourself and feel better soon.
from pashiesplace :
Oh my goodness. I have no idea how you keep up with everything! Hope you feel better. Hugs.
from marlen816 :
Praying you feel better soon. ((Hugs))
from babyontheway :
Ugh! Sorry you aren't feeling good! Hope it goes away pretty soon. If you need anything, call me! I'll take care of the kiddos while you rest, if you need to!
from kait77 :
Come read and tell me if my oldest is a normal nearly 10yr old. She seems odd to me
from sunnflower :
Poor little fellow. Kids run those fever so quickly. It keeps a mommy on her feet. Glad all is well now. Hugs.
from kait77 :
Glad to hear all is well
from kait77 :
Hope the little guy is doing ok
from kittyladymd :
Wow, I'm just reading about your little guy's ordeal. I hope he's doing much better now.
from kait77 :
I hope Aiden gets better quickly. My oldest got menegitis at 4 days old so I understand how scary a fever can be.
from manda-d :
I read Janie's entry today about little Aidan being in the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
from kait77 :
hope all is well and that the next few weeks fly for you
from kait77 :
It will definately help, and you picked stuff that will definately be used because most of it is stuff we buy ourselves, the only item we don't buy ourselves we don't have access to a source to buy it. The box got to campus mail on Friday but took until yesterday to clear them- they date stamp the arrival of everything in their office. Usually there is a one day delay because they have to sort for delivery. THANK YOU again, and hubby said to thank you for him as well.
from kait77 :
THANK YOU! the box arrived today- thanks to campus mail service wondering if it was a BAD package. they are ultra careful up here and delayed it several days to be xrayed and sniffed.
from catsmeow1224 :
I hear ya on the weight thing. I am now back up to as much as I was when I had Ginger. I've been taking water pills to try to aleviate some of the bloating, but it's just going to come down to good old fashioned exercise. : ( Oh, and Ginger had an appointment this past friday. She's 4 1/2 months and weighs 16 pounds!!! And she's 26 inches tall. She's gonna be a big kid!
from jamsjunction :
Your little Aiden is so adorable! I just want to kiss him! All of your children are just adorable!
from kait77 :
The pics are really cute.
from kait77 :
Ok, the nursing should help you lose weight unless you aren't eating enough (about 1800 cals) or are eating too much (more than 2200 cals) This is per what every lactation consultant I spoke with but I NEVER lost weight while nursing, then again I never lost weight that wasn't water. Have you considered water retention as part of the problem?
from lovelydaisy :
I love nursing Ethan and he is almost 2.5. Your weight might not be from nursing him, although some of it might be :) Hope you have an awesome long weekend :)
from sunnflower :
What a cutie this kid is!
from lovelydaisy :
pics won't work :(
from kait77 :
Ok, tried to delete the msg but diaryland appears to have chenged it so you can't delete notes. I really need to think about a gold membership in a few months cause this is crazy. Although few ppl read my journal so not many should see the msg.
from kait77 :
THANK YOU for whatever it is. BTW the 7yr old is welcome to visit but not to stay as I have my own 7yr old I will be dealing with on a regular basis once I have regular income. I understand the frustration factor, try asking dad to talk to her over the phone or have grandma do it. Sometimes kids listen better to anyone but mom. Good luck.
from babyontheway :
I'll take her! She's always an angel for me, of course it's because I'm not Mom! I'm pulling for January to get here quickly too! I have my own agenda, but I also want you to see your hubby again!
from lovelydaisy :
My son is like that and he is 10. DRIVES ME INSANE!!! I wish you the best! Carrie
from kait77 :
I got your note and emailed you should I delete your note as it includes an email address? BTW thanks, you don't have to do whatever you are planning. I hope all is well with you and that these next weeks and months until your Navy man comes home go quickly.
from kait77 :
I am suprised that college students and k-12 go back the same week.
from babyontheway :
Lady, your life is so busy right now, how in the world will you have time to yourself...One a day when you feel like getting out to yourself, just drop the boys off with me...go get yourself some alone time!!
from lovelydaisy :
If you find a life on sale let me know ;) My son starts tommorrow too and he is very excited :) Carrie
from babyontheway :
That darn thing is so faint, you'd have told me that I've gone crazy!!! I'll do it tomorrow morning, and if I'm still not sure, I will bring it over!!
from kait77 :
Hope all is well with you. Your life sounds enviable to my last few weeks and what is coming.
from carriem :
Happy 3 month Birthday :) Glad things are settling for you :) Im me anytime you see me on, i have no life either :)
from sunnflower :
Darling picture of the kids! Who cares whether their outfits match anyway.
from babyontheway :
Got Rocco from a breeder in Owings Mills...if you really want one, they have some!! The people are really great and not too expensive. for him, with his pedigree papers, he was $420.
from gypsy-poet :
OMG he is just adorable!!!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
from kait77 :
They all look so cute
from kittyladymd :
Great photo of the kids...but I want to see the family photo too! You can email it to me if you don't want to post it! ;)
from pashiesplace :
Oh what a great pic! Your kids are beautiful! Hugs.
from babyontheway :
You will find out, but you have to wait until next week....okay?? It'll be worth waiting to know! ;o)
from marlen816 :
You amaze me! I haven't even thought about school suplly shopping yet! In fact we still do not know what school Dev and Josh will even be going to yet! Yikes!!
from twoseasons :
I hope the 6 months flies by for you. I am sure it will. I hope Courtney is doing alright today.
from carriem :
I hope things go by quickly for yous :) If you ever get time to chat, my messengers are on my profile :) I enjoy company :)
from kait77 :
I hope these 6 months go quickly. Hopefully the kids will deal with it better than the first 6 months.
from kittyladymd :
It sounds like you guys have had such a good time with Steve around and have kept very busy. I can't believe he's leaving already but I am also hoping the time goes quickly for you too. I know having these little ones around will make it that much faster for sure!
from kait77 :
Miss kitty is improving but I wish I could say she was all better. Come by sometime and check on her progress. It seems I am too soft hearted and need to learn to say no on somethings as I am allergic to cats and am now sneezing up a storm and can't go near her very often myself. She is completely hubby's responsibility. Hopefully he will do a better job with her than he does with other things.
from gypsy-poet :
I am so glad that you have enjoyed his leave so much! Sounds as though you have been busy and very happy!!! Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you! Have a great weekend.
from kait77 :
So far no luck finding her a home, but I do have an offer from my Aunt that if I can't find her a home down here in the next few weeks that I can bring her with me to Michigan and she will continue the search there for me. So no pound if I can hide her for 3 weeks.
from kait77 :
Stop by and read about our tiny guest whose fate is unknown and possibly horrible unless I can find someone with a kind heart and home.
from kait77 :
You sound busy my weekend has been full as well. Hope you all are having fun, which movie did you watch we went to see chronicles of riddick. it was great.
from sunnflower :
Have fun in OC! Do you like Six Flags - we usually go to King's Dominion. If you are willing to drive, I think Hershey Park is a great park to visit too - and you can get a tour about how they make chocolate too.
from kait77 :
Hope you are enjoying those days. When you get a chjance come by and read July 1 entry and give an opinion on the situation. I want to see my girls but am fed up with many of those left in my family who are involved in this mess and some of those have control over if I can see my girls.
from kittyladymd :
So glad you guys are doing so well. Only 17 days left? That just doesn't seem long enough I'm sure. Enjoy it as much as possible!
from kait77 :
Hope everyone is enjoying their time with daddy/hubby. Hope to hear from you in a week or two to let us know how things are going.
from zencelt :
Thank you for the teary start to my day. What a wonderful reunion. Enjoy!
from kittyladymd :
Ok Tara, I just couldn't wait to see if you'd updated and now I'm sitting here at work with tears in MY eyes! I can't imagine how thrilled you all must be and enjoy your time together!
from kait77 :
Glad to hear he is safely home and evryone one was able to see daddy. hope he enjoyes his time with the newest family member but I also hope he doesn't neglect you in spending time with the kiddoes.
from kittyladymd :
Oh I am just SO excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about it. I'm sure nobody will be getting any sleep tonight!
from wifemotherme :
I am so happy Steve is so close to home. I had not realized how emotionally invested I had become until you wrote of his delay and I just boohooed. You have been so brave and of such good cheer. He has been in our prayers, but tell him I am grateful for his sacrifice. Tell him thank you. And thank you for being selfless enough to endure his absence.
from carriem :
Hope you guys have a wonderful wonderful bit of time together :)
from kait77 :
Hope all goes well and that his plane comes in safely and early, definately early. enjoy this time together.
from kait77 :
Glad to hear he will be home soon. Hope the money gets there w/o problems. Men can be so stubborn sometimes.
from sunnflower :
I hope you see your husband soon. Not bad being trapped in Naples though. What a wonderful family reunion you'll be having! You are right about the cicadas - next time, the kids will be all grown up.
from kait77 :
oh, well i hope he makes it home soon. at least he isn't in iraq. so it could still be worse. i know this has to be hard. my hubby isn't thousands of miles away but lately it feels like it cause of the hours he is working then i remind myself of what you are going through and tell myself i could have been a militray wife cause he wanted to be a fighter pilot. thank god his mom basically threatened to disown him if he joined. i couldn't do what you are doing, you are one of the strongest people i know.
from kait77 :
damn, the military really needs to compensate the leave time for screw ups like this. how the heck did he wind up in europe anyway? wasn't he supposed to be in the middle of the ocean near the coast of florida somewhere? well, hopefully this will all get straightened out and he will get home quickly.
from starlight42 :
Found you through another diary I read- congrats on the hubby coming home! Your little boy is adorable, his daddy will be so proud :)
from kait77 :
hope the kiddoes get better real fast. enjoy the time with your hubby.
from kittyladymd :
Four days and counting now, right? You guys must be so excited. Don't forget to take some photos, or have someone else take some photos, of the homecoming!
from catsmeow1224 :
I'm so excited for the homecoming!! Don't forget to tell us how it went! : )
from kait77 :
you might try some vicks for your sinuses and this is gonna sound really wierd but heat will loosen up anything in there while cold will reduce swelling and pain but will cause anything in there to become more tightly enlodged. warm salt water drops work well too. i nursed all four of mine and never fail sinus problems would occur. call your doctor just in case this could be an infection, for some odd reason this year a lot of people are getting sinus infections and skipping visable symptoms, also there are some prescriptions he can give you that are ok when nursing that can clear up a head cold faster than the otc stuff. good luck.
from kait77 :
he is so cute hope you all enjoy having daddy home soon.
from kittyladymd :
Oh I just love seeing new pictures of the little guy. He is too cute! You are making it so hard for me to wait for my own little boy to get here.
from crazeemomma :
Aww! What a precious baby!
from babyontheway :
Have you been able to breathe yet this week? Thank goodness Steve comes home in well, only 2 weeks now, huh? Sorry you have been so busy. Ya know, if you don't feel like taking all the kids with you, you can send a couple of them my way! We'd love the company! OH! I will try and remember to call you today. I have some stuff to give to you!!
from cleanstart :
You are one busy, busy momma! I hope when Steve gets home that you have time to catch up on well deserved rest! HUGS~
from kait77 :
on the liquid medicine you can rub it on yourself after nursing and let it air dry so that you don't get an infection of trush yourself. otherwise you are gonna be miserable- i nursed all of mine and all of them got thrush within days of birth. miserable all around is all i can say- my girls both had it for months i got it with my oldest cause no one told me how to prevent it.
from kait77 :
great pics its too bad none of the neighborhood kids will mow the lawn for a few bucks.
from kait77 :
I hope you get some sleep and that your newest addition settles down and that his thrush clears up. Have they painted his mouth purple yet? That was always what I wound up having to get done with my girls. It works really fast and is very effective. I have no clue what is in that purple stuff and it looks weird but the thrush always cleared and never reaappeared.
from babyontheway :
Geesh...He's a month old already? For crying out loud, could time go by any quicker? Sounds like you have a very busy couple of days...if you feel like getting together when you get a break, give me a call!
from zencelt :
Tara, I can't believe its been a month already! I could swear he was born last week. What a beautiful baby.
from sunnflower :
Now that's one cute kid!
from kittyladymd :
Great new photos of the little guy! Too cute! As for your question about the paint, so far it looks GREAT, but we'll see how it holds up when we get the furniture complete and put it outside. I'll post some photos of it when it's done!
from dana-elayne :
Awwww, what a cutiepie! :)
from kait77 :
your kids are so cute, do you have anti-red eye on your camera? i ask because there seems to be a glare on the eye's in most of your pictures and i have heard anti-red eye can reduce this you take better pictures than I do in any case
from wifemotherme :
You make absolutely beautiful children!!! I cant believe how big Aidan is already! I just want to reach thru the screen and smooch on him!
from marlen816 :
The pics are too cute. I can't believe Aidan will be a month old soon. And Kari will be two! Yikes! Where has the time gone??
from babyontheway :
What's with that shifty glance of Dylans?? Heehee...glad everything is fine with Aidan...that little bit of thrush should heal up pretty quickly! Great pictures!!!
from kittyladymd :
What a precious photo! Enjoy the weather today and this weekend, as it's supposed to be beee-u-tee-ful!
from twoseasons :
Aww that pic is so sweet. I have one of A&W like that. I hope the thrush goes away. Sounds like Aiden is a great baby, especially to give you no trouble taking the medicine!
from sunnflower :
Great cicadas shot. They are unbelievably noisy. I hate going outside with them flying and perched everywhere.
from babyontheway :
EWWW! Those nasty little buggers! It's so funny to think where the kids will be the next time these things come around!!
from kait77 :
Hey check out my post from today, I found some info that may help with weight loss. Let me know if you are interested I can either share the info or the book title and ISBN with you.
from zencelt :
Your children are bee-u-tee-ful! Thanks for posting.
from dana-elayne :
Awwww, what a bunch of cutiepie kids! :)
from marlen816 :
What a cutie!
from kittyladymd :
Definitely a keeper! Too cute! Now you make it harder to wait for mine to arrive!
from kittyladymd :
Ok, I should never have complained about the TINY photo I guess, because I can definitely see the newest one. Too cute! Glad that he is growing so well too!
from babyontheway :
(tear) Taylor is just the sweetest girl in the world...and I too think one day she is going to have alot to share, once she figures out how to share it all!!
from wifemotherme :
I think that is an uncommonly beautiful baby! He is just angelic looking! One look at him and my maternal clock just did a 180 spin. Congratulations! I am soooooooooo happy for you
from sunnflower :
Now that's one cute baby! He's just beautiful.
from babyontheway :
You're quite welcome. I'm glad it worked! I love that picture of him...the photographer did a great job(hint hint, wink wink!).
from manda-d :
How handsome!
from kittyladymd :
It worked...but boy is he TINY! I mean, I'm sure he's small in real life too, but the photo is tiny. Not sure how to link the photo as a larger version when it's hosted where it is now. It may need to be hosted somewhere else (like Photobucket?) to get a larger one there.
from catsmeow1224 :
AWWW!!! : )
from sunnflower :
Congrats on the new little guy in your life. What a very happy mother's day for you!!!
from wifemotherme :
Happy Mother's Day and belated Congratulations!!
from kait77 :
I really envy you none of mine slept more than 2 or 3 hours at a time and it was nearly a year before my youngest slept through the night my oldest took 3 years to sleep more than 4 hours straight. we still have no clue on that one but it may have been the asthma medication and she also tends to sleep less than her sister even now. go figure.
from babyontheway :
I'm so glad he's sleeping so well...That is one thing I loved that RAchel did as a baby...slept really long hours at night! YAY Aidan for being good to his mommy(early mother's day present, I guess!)
from kittyladymd :
Wow, what a great birth story. Quick and easy. Congrats again and welcome home. Enjoy that little guy!
from cleanstart :
Congrat's TARA!! I can't wait to see pictures. hint-hint! HUGS~
from catsmeow1224 :
yayay!! Congrats!! I'm so glad you finally got your little boy outta there : ) I know what a relief it is to hold them the outside!!! Can't wait for some pictures!
from batten :
God bless you both! I am so happy for you. You all are in my prayers. Big hugs to you, darlin'. Congratulations! Yay! Welcome to the world, Aiden! -J
from manda-d :
Congratulations!
from zencelt :
YIPPEE! Congratulations and welcome to Aiden!
from kittyladymd :
I can't wait to read all about the birth of your precious little boy! He is just adorable!
from sunnflower :
I bet you are going to the same hospital where I gave birth to my first child. I am very excited for you that your little baby is almost here!
from catsmeow1224 :
Good luck!!!
from babyontheway :
Alright....I'll be expecting those kiddies this evening!!! Now remember, walk the STEPS!! Even though it hurts, it really helps!!!
from kittyladymd :
Good luck and sorry about the OUCH! Hope by the end of the weekend I'll be reading a birth story from you and seeing some photos!
from manda-d :
Good luck *crosses fingers*
from catsmeow1224 :
Ok, I'm passing off the birthing baton-- It's all you, girl! Let's get that little boy outta there!! : )
from kittyladymd :
Glad to hear that you are making some progress and I'm just sorry it's not more since I know how anxious you are to get this over with and done. Good luck on your appointment next week.
from zencelt :
Wow, I thought that when the contractions came, it was time to boogy over to the hospital and have a baby! Its been really interesting reading the countdown entries. Here's to a quick and easy delivery!!!
from catsmeow1224 :
I wish I got comments about how small my belly was! Sheesh. Sunday I had someone ask me how many I was having.
from sunnflower :
Happy Easter!
from babyontheway :
Me? Bad? When have you ever known me to be bad? hehee...
from babyontheway :
WELLL...when I asked Rachel why she cut her hair, she said "I wanna look like Courtney!!!" apparently your daugher is my little girls new role model. Of course I had to sit her down and explain that mommy's give the haircuts...UGH! It looks good though!
from kittyladymd :
Thanks for the note Tara, and I so know what you mean about the men not giving us enough credit. I told him I was sure we wouldn't starve to death if he left us for a week or two, very sarcastic. You know I'll be asking for any tips you can send to me once I do get the courage to venture out with 3 though!
from sunnflower :
Chili dogs are tempting but babies don't like 'em. I am excited for you getting so close to having a new little one in your house.
from drewbears :
Oh Yum! You gotta give in from time to time. LOL
from babyontheway :
well, since you're curious...I was at my friend Cassidy's house! She is getting married soon and I was helping her with the tedious stuff! ;o)
from babyontheway :
You brave woman, you! Eating a chili dog...I bet you are keeping Tums in business, eh? I'm glad you decided to dig in, even if it does give you some hearburn...sometimes we just have to do what we want, and forgoe the consequences!!
from catsmeow1224 :
Oh, I hear ya on the contractions. They just come whenever you want to. What's funny is to have one of those big ones that stop you in your tracks and have people looking at you like "Oh no! She's gonna blow!!" Here's to hoping that it's almost over for the both of us!
from cleanstart :
HUGS Tara. I'm not surewhat's goingon, but I hope things ease up soon. I love the name you've picked out for your baby!
from mbwillow :
I've started my other diary back up again- "littlewillow". I'm not telling too many people yet, but if you'd like to read it, you're welcome to.
from sunnflower :
Having a baby is so so so very exciting. I am happy for you. My babies are almost grown up but I remember those glorious days. Hugs.
from kittyladymd :
Well at least you finally got through to someone and got an appointment. Here I am at day THREE of just trying to get an appointment and have yet to talk to a human being except for the ONE time someone answered the phone and took a message to have someone call me back. ARGH! I know what you mean about the bathing though, that's definitely getting harder each day. Nicolas is good about getting himself in and out with my help, but Noelle still needs me every step of the way!
from catsmeow1224 :
I've got six and a half left. I'm one week ahead of you! Everytime you write about problems you've been having regarding the pregnancy, I just nod, because I'm right there with ya, sister! : )
from marlen816 :
Glad everything went well with the appraisal!
from sunnflower :
Sorry your not feeling all the way better yet but hurray for beautiful weather!
from sunnflower :
Happy Birthday to Dylan. I remember those days. They go by quickly!
from twoseasons :
Happy 4th Birthday Dylan! I hope he has a wonderful party! :)
from twoseasons :
Good luck tomorrow, Tara. I hope they have something to cure what ails ya (isn't that a cliche'?? lol)
from pashiesplace :
I'm glad everything is ok. I just hope you actually feel better soon. You are holding up so much better than I ever could. Hugs.
from babyontheway :
Geesh! You hid it well that you weren't feeling good! I'm sorry that you're feeling bad, and I hope whatever it is knocks out of your system quickly. Nothing like being pregnant AND sick! You and poor Dina!
from kittyladymd :
Wow, that whole passing out thing must have been scary! Glad everything is okay though. So, I'll be looking for any tips on loading 3 kids into the car from you as I'm sure after the 4th you'll tell me three is a breeze! I still remember the days when I thought getting just one (Nicolas) into a carseat was tough!
from cleanstart :
girl, I am right there with you on the passing out stuff. I faint so easily. That is the worst feeling, knowing that it's about to/or happening and there's nothing you can do about it. I hope you are feeling better now and don't have to get this done again!! HUGS~
from babyontheway :
Oh, BOY!! I sure hope you're doing better now!! I never liked drinking that stuff, and threw it up once, but I never passed out because of it.. I hate it!! Here's hoping you don't have to drink it again!!!
from kittyladymd :
Just want to say thanks for the congrats! I'm really excited about it, and I'm sure Nicolas will be happy too. Noelle will remain the princess in her daddy's eye for sure.
from drewbears :
Ah man Tara! I am sorry. So much for military being family friendly right?? As Scott says, if the military wanted you to have a wife and kids, they would have issued them in boot camp. I am so bummed I can't make it to CEC, I was so looking forward to it too. I was gonna call you the other night, but my computer was all batty and I couldn't get on it. 24 hours rest it seems better. We have to make a point to get together again though. I was so wanting to come, it would have gotten me out of having to have a party for Kimmy here. How bad am i?!?!?!
from sunnflower :
Snow and a kid with a broken arm. Lucky you. Sounds like you are handling everything with grace and humor though!
from babyontheway :
Man, that grocery bill ROCKED!! I wish I still had family in the military...I SOOOO miss that cheap commisary!
from sunnflower :
Glad he turned down the job. Hope you find yourself in the DC area soon - it's a nice place to live.
from babyontheway :
4:44 am, huh? I used to get up at 3:20 every morning, for no particular reason...it lasted 4 months of my pregnancy...strange, huh?
from cleanstart :
1/13/04 - Cute new layout!!
from sonshinegirl :
wow, you sound alot better today! i'm glad you and the children were able to talk to steve. i hope the lines stay open for you always!
from nacwolin :
Glad you got to talk to Steve already! Man, we never were able to get through to him at the MAC terminal; what a bummer. I hope he's not sore at us! Hang in there kiddo; take one week at a time. Hugs.
from sunnflower :
Sorry you are feeling down and sending hugs your way. Purple is nice and your guestbook link probably was wisked away when you changed templates. If you saved a copy of your code it should be there somewhere and you can always just go back to guestbook.com and grab it if all else fails. I like notes though - notes are good.
from sonshinegirl :
sending lots of love and hugs and prayers your way!!!
from kait77 :
Hope things improve. You have to add an html link to your layout to get your guestbook to show up
from batten :
Praying for you today. Hope you're doing okay. Hang in there. Big hug to you, hon'. -J
from marlen816 :
((Hugs)) and prayers for you, Tara. I can't imagine what you are going through, but am here if you need to talk. I will call you later today.
from kittyladymd :
Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts today as I know it's going to be a rough day for you.
from babyontheway :
Of course I had to respond when I read about Aidan...anything like that scares me!! If can remember to do this for a 1/2 hour, try and count how many movements he has in a half hours time...at 24 weeks you should be feeling at least 2...if none, try the cold coke and see if it helps. Ya know, he's probably just laying low cause he knows mom is stressed! Let me know if there is anything I can do, and keep me updatedon the litle guy. I'll be thinking about you! You know me, I tend to freak out over things like that now!!
from pashiesplace :
Tons & tons of hugs coming your way. I know you're needing them.
from zencelt :
Hi Tara! Just popping into say thanks for joining out girls night out! I really enjoyed my time with you. I'm sending supportive thoughts and prayers your way. Hang in there. He'll be home on a flash!
from babyontheway :
((HUGS)) you have sooo much to look forward to!! Keep that in mind. And all your friends will try and keep you from crawling under that rock! We will try and help you make this year go by quickly!!
from babyontheway :
Geesh, you haven't written since New Years?? I need to add an entry about the little blossoming romance between our two youngsters ;p
from sunnflower :
Hope your Christmas is very merry and bright!
from kittyladymd :
Sorry to chime in so late, but wanted to make sure I said CONGRATS on your little boy!!! I think I'm having another boy too, but won't know until probably January or early February.
from me-undaunted :
yay for baby boys! :o)
from sunnflower :
Ohhh, a little boy - how wonderful. Congrats. There's nothing like a wee little baby to liven up a household a bit! I knew with my second child what sex the baby was and I liked knowing so I could prepare a bit more easily.
from pashiesplace :
Ohhhh good luck! Should I be sending any particular vibes?? I'm betting its an Aidan BTW (((Hugs)))
from sunnflower :
Homemade fudge - sounds fabulous. Now that's good cooking.
from kittyladymd :
Wow, that all sounds yummy. If you have an leftovers boxes of chocolate, I'll take them! :)
from cleanstart :
Awe...hugs, sorry you had a rough night. I had one of those mornings with my daugher!
from sunnflower :
Hope you have a good Thanksgiving!
from sunnflower :
Frozen girl scout cookies can cure many ills including being housebound!
from machogirl7 :
Emergency cookies!! That's so funny. :)
from pashiesplace :
Whoops! Should be 2001 She was 17 months there. I LOVE Aiden! LOVE it!
from sunnflower :
That wind storm was really something.
from pashiesplace :
TY for the message. It sounds like you really had your hands full too. You gave me hope though because you got thru having 2 children that were very dependant on you for everything. How are you feeling now? Any names picked out yet?
from kittyladymd :
Oh Tara, Happy Anniversary and DEFINITELY check out that quesadilla when you get a chance. I already want another one, and it's almost dinner time. I can see now that the pork chops I have made for dinner are not going to cut it tonight!
from kestra :
Hey Tara, I sent an e-mail out with the new username and password. Let me know if you got it!
from wifemotherme :
I started to leave a note for Janie when I read your note to her that said something like "Steve was looking for songs." Well I had to pop over and share with you that I had the same thought this week. Janie needs a mixed CD of "You Go Girl Songs". So I thought I would share my ideas with you. 1."I Will Survive" — Gloria Gaynor . 2. Brittany Spears Stronger Than Yesterday 3. Dismissed by ZoeGirl 4. Bed of lies by Matchbox 20 4. He Ain't Worth Missing - Toby Keith. 5. "You Outta Know" — Alanis Morrisette (this one is kinda raunchy) . "With or Without You" — U2. 6 Bye Bye Bye by one of those boy bands 7.Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe and last but not least any song sung by Kathy Troccoli
from kait77 :
Having an awful time with your guestbook- it won't load on my computer today so I thought I'd leave a note instead. Hope you are okay. Glad to hear you had a fun day. I too will be getting rid of stuff to make room, but only after finals are over. I am stressed enough right now. Good luck with ebay.
from kittyladymd :
Thanks for the note Tara and for keeping my little secret. I will feel more comfortable announcing it sometime later this month but for right now I'm being very cautious and quiet about it. Other than my husband, only people who read this diary know about it and I plan to keep it that way.
from sunnflower :
Marshmallow peeps - treasures abound.
from pashiesplace :
Hope your headache is gone this morning!
from cleanstart :
Hope your headache eases soon!
from sunnflower :
I didn't realize you were pregnant - congratulations! That's fantastic - if tiring.
from pashiesplace :
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you've hit the prezzie jackpot! My 30th birthday was probably my very favorite so far. Have a great day!
from sunnflower :
Happy BD Taylor. I like he new template - it looks like an island and you know how I like those!
from pashiesplace :
Happy Birthday Taylor!
from cleanstart :
Happy Birthday to Taylor!!
from pashiesplace :
I have a mouthy 4 year old. I say we put them in a room together, alone and let the fur fly! Liking the new layout. Change feels great doesn't it?
from machogirl7 :
I haven't gotten an email. :( I think mine is weird. Email me at drivenbylove02@yahoo.com and I take care of everything for you.
from pashiesplace :
Yay Taylor! How awesome!
from machogirl7 :
Ok, I'm pretty much finished! I really like it, but please email me, and I'll email you back a screenshot. Thanks!
from marlen816 :
Yea for first days of school!
from pashiesplace :
I love her too! I have the big Anne Geddes books in my living room. Fall NEEDS to get here.

You were right on target about the wrappers and where I got them. They are the best!

Glad the kid didn't pop more tylenol into her little mouth. The good thing is they task like hell - yuck!

I signed your guestbook and then saw why proofing something is good practice. I meant to say how nice that you guys get to stay put through the summer!
from kait77 :
Couldn't get the guestbook to accept my note. DEFINATELY leave the kids w/ him for a few days but FIRST ENSURE NO ONE will take over for him and make it easy for him to function normally. Also find out what it will cost for medical expenses in the next 6 years for your daughter and tell him find a way to pay it or re enlist. Make sure he knows that he is endangering his children's future by not ensuring decent income and medical coverage. Also plan what you will do if he continues on this path of selfishness and inform him of your plans.

I like the sound of this "power-cleaning" thing.
