Happy Monday All!

I am home on leave for spring break, but I will be working half a day at the recruiting station. So, I am off to work for a couple of hours and then we are gonna do something with the kids.

Tina said...

YAY LeighAnn! So glad you get to spend time with your babies!!

We had a wonderful weekend with the Storeys! I am being lazy right now - paying bills. Later to the commissary...and then to the gym.

LeighAnn - Im flat for the week. Which is better than i expected to be!!

Love to all!

Noboyz said...

Hey LA.... glad you are on spring break!!! YEAH for being home!
How is my baby?


Tina, glad ya'll had such a great time with the Storeys! Can't wait until we have a great time together!
An Annual Event!!!!!

Tina said...

We are SOOO looking forward to May! Yipeeeee!!!

Oh... the one friday im gone and the soccer team takes a WIN!! by forfiet of the other team...but still!!!

Noboyz said...

LOL too funny!

Oh well... you are on the team! :)

Tina said...

Ya...but if we're gonna take ANY win...I wanna be there for cryin out load!! LOL

Leigh Ann said...

Tina,
That stinks!

Marci,
Dailen is better, she gets tired quick and that cough is horrid!

Today, after I worked a couple of hours, we went to the YMCA and the kids swam and then we went to the park with the bikes and scooters and then out to eat and then another bon-fire and Mackenzie and Britney are sleeping out in the tent...whew, I am tired.

A great day!

Tina said...

Wow LeighAnn! You were BUSY and what a wonderfully tiring day. Glad to hear Dailen is feeling better... poor little precious thing!!

Noboyz said...

poor baby girl! I hate that she is still sick! I cannnot wait to love on all my girls....
does Tori know her schedule yet then?

KK and I are going on my birthday, the 31st, to Southeastern Nursing School at the college to tour.... and finalize her entry...
she will get her RN degree there,
and then go from there... :)

Leigh Ann said...

Wow, that is so exciting! You know, Tori is going to Texas around then...I will have to see how long she is gonna stay.

Noboyz said...

OMG.... yes, tell her to call me....
OMG.... we can get together....

well they tell us, no matter what degree she wants... she needs to start with Nursing first... so we are going to do that... then I am sure she will get Nurse Anesthesist from there.... then if she wants her doctrine... we will do that... a long road!!!!!
please tell Tori to call me... even if we drive and meet her...
:)

Tina said...

Well goodnight ladies! Gonna hit the shower and bed.

Leigh Ann said...

When do the San Diegan's fly into New Orleans...Tori may fly into there instead Nashville...

Kathi said...

Marci, my mammo is Thursday (I'm getting my boobies squished...LOL)

Called you, Brenda, just to wish you a belated Happy Bday...Steve'll tell ya

OY...I thought I would have to plan a trip THIS FRIDAY up to LA to see the "movement specialist" I saw 3 years ago (neurologist referred me) for my episodes, but I'm gonna cancel it because I haven't been taking my meds on a regular, consistant basis; so I'm gonna try that first, see if I have anymore episodes between now and May (when I see my neurologist). If I have another one, then maybe a trip to LA is warranted; if not, then we know that it was the fact that I haven't been taking it on a regular basis... I'm also getting names of all my cousins/wives/children, their children for my uncle in Chicago, who is doing some sort of family tree; between that and the family blog, MY BRAIN HURTS

LA, yeah; Prozac does wonders for my mood; glad I asked to be on something

Leigh Ann said...

Good morning!

Kathi, LOL about your brain hurting!

Kathi said...

Good Morning...

It seriously does, LA; yesterday was a very busy day with doing that...AND I'M STILL NOT DONE; waiting for my cousin, Tim, to get back to me on the names of all of his family's stuff (and THAT aunt and uncle had eight kids)

Kathi said...

I'm not complaining at all though...I LOVE this stuff (we just have a BIG family, so it's tiring)

Anonymous said...

Hi everyone :) Kinda got lost in the comments...

Kathi..very cool about family trees!! Have fun with it :)

Leighann...If you hadn't rcvd a reply yet, we fly into New Orleans Fri May 15th..Tina...is that correct?? LOL ...that sounds like so much fun what you are all doing on spring break..tiring, for sure :) LOL hoping Dailen feels better each day!!

Hey Marci...Are you and KK going to be in Texas when Tori is there?? Not sure I followed that right..What a great plan KK has set :) WTG!!

Hey Steph...I'm sure you are ont he edge of your seat getting ready for your event!!!

Hey Tina...Are you back to work and your knee feeling better?? Did the office survive without you??

Tina said...

Happy Tuesday!

Yes Brenda Im back at work and the office survived but I am dealing with personnel issues. My knee feels ok... lol... what an ass I am.

For all your benefit... I fell down at the beach... like a freakin beached whale... banged my knee on the cement sidewalk and then very ungracefully rolled into sand. Fred and Steve had to pull my ass out! LOL

I told Jenna about it and she laughed till I thought she would Pee~ brat~ hahaha!

Anonymous said...

Precious!!! Poor Tina :( When you fell it was so graceful and in slo-mo...kinda like stop, drop and roll..Oh dear, Oh my...glad you're getting better!! darn those kids LOL!!

Kathi said...

I'm sorry you got hurt on your trip, Tina; that just sucks... but glad you're feelin better

Bren, did Steve tell ya that I called last night?

Well, just got done with the family tree; my cousin got back to me this morning (YAY!!!!!!)

And I just got off the phone with Neurology in LA, canceling my appt for Friday :)

Anonymous said...

Yes Kathi :) Got the message last night that you had called :) thank you..very nice and happy surprise!! Very cool on the family tree!!

Hey Leighann...I LOVE your Charger fmaily pic on your blog!!!!!!!!!! FUN!!!! :D Makes me smile~

Kathi said...

Ok, stress level is going up again :( :(; was supposed to take Dad to "church" at the facility, but through no fault of her own this time, my ihss worker's not here yet; and I had said something that I thought was kind of harsh to my cousin in Chicago (the one that I'm starting the family blog with), but he responded by saying that he "knew where the thought was coming from...nothing but a good heart".....the tears just came like you were turning on a faucet. I just tried telling you guys what I said, and I started getting choked up again; so I think it's better left unsaid; sorry

Leigh Ann said...

Kathi, don't be so hard on yourself...no need to be sorry.

Tina, you poor thing, glad there was sand to break your fall:)

Brenda, glad you were there for moral support:D

Tina said...

Wow... LONNNG day. Just got home about 20 minutes ago... I am NOT going to the gym...im gonna do laundry and make fried chicken. I will go with brenda tomorrow... and we have to be done by 515 - as i have an appt at 530. But... i KNOW WE CAN DO IT!!!

and yes LA...i was VERY glad there was sand... or i would have broke my knee... and my arms and probably my backside...ha!

Stephanie said...

A broken butt, LOL!

Leigh Ann said...

Too funny! You did have a long day.

Stephanie said...

After work today, I swam with Ansley and she tried to drown me the whole time....I am exhausted!

Noboyz said...

Oh Tina.... OMG.... I am worried about you... but yes, I pee'd in my pants picturing you falling in slow mo!!! LOL

Kathi, hang in there.... don't let things get you down and take over...have control! you can do it!

Brenda, so glad for the visuals of poor Tina! LOL you rock!

LA, your weekend sounded great as well as spring break .... being with family is great!

Steph, I am sure baby girl exhausted you.. but just think, probably good for the marathon!
build up your resistance...

Kathi said...

The thing that sucks and gets me down and SO INCREDIBLY sensitive about anything I say with that particular cousin, is my mom died on his birthday, and he was/is her Godson, so I kind of feel like I have to "walk on eggshells"...

Anonymous said...

Oh Kathi...life is a rocky road isn't it :( hoping tomorrow it's as smooth as a river's bottom :)
LOL trying to throw in a little humor...I know..it's bad humor :(

Well girls..I'm a sour sap myself LOL, so I'm taking myself to bed...was at the dentist..don't go when you have a cold..even when they say to go!!! 3 hours later...I had a small filling done..no problem..then comes 2 crowns..side by side..the anesthesia wore off during ...and the temps are on and don't fit :( I don't care at this point...and I believe I have 1 or 2 more crowns to go
:( I've been told...they can only do a filling over just so many times...better to be safe before cracking a tooth. Already costing $$$$$$$$$$$$

Tina...I'm riding the lake right after work tomorrow then will meet you at the gym, ok

Hugs to all!

Leigh Ann said...

Brenda,
Ugh! The dentist sounds like it going to be a pain (in more ways than one) for a while - thinking of you...

Stephanie,
Our kids have been begging to get in the pool - I keep telling them it's too cold.

Kathi,
That cousin will have to deal with the loss of your mother in their own way...you shouldn't add his reactions to your own grief - that is just too much of a burden. Thats just my advice:)

Marci,
Mylee is going to be one - wow - how quickly time goes by.

Leigh Ann said...

The rain is here and is supposed to stay for a while. We are going roller skating today after the Y. And the kids are going to finish frosting their cupcakes from last night.

Stephanie said...

Oh, we didn't get in our pool. It IS too cold for that! LOL! We were indoors!

Sounds like fun on the rollerskating and cupcakes. I know about being event planner for the kids' spring break! It's tough...Jonathan expects to be entertained!

There won't be any rollerskating for us...Jonathan can't, and won't try. He would just end up in the arcade, and he can do that at home! :)

The rain definitely put a kink in things for the remainder of the week...

Tina said...

Morning all!! Heres hoping everyone has a great WEdnesday!!

Anonymous said...

Good morning folks :) I got a really well needed goodnights rest.. :D Gonna just jump those obsticles in my way!!!

Today my youngest turns 21!! Allyson~ Her plans keep changing, so I'm not sure, as of this morning, what tonight will bring :)

Leighann..what fun you are having on spring break!! Rain or shine~

Hey Steph...hoping Jonathon is having a good time, entertained, or not..just being out of school..WOOHOO!!! LOL

Have a good day all!

Tina said...

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLYSON!!!!

21 is a grand year! so Brenda... what happened to the "palmsprings excursion"??? LOL

Anonymous said...

LOL...she got a GPS for her bday and said she will use the GPS to get her to the Palm Springs clothing optional resort at a later date ...hehehe

Leigh Ann said...

Oh my...lol!

Tina said...

Yes... Allyson and her trip to the nudist colony.. hahaha! FUNNY.

Leigh Ann said...

I have never been to one...has anyone?

Tina said...

Me either... and it wont be something on my bucket list either... LOL

Noboyz said...

I can promise you Nonnie will not be nuding around anyone but MB...
and of course Paul and LA in N'awlins, may see my drawers and bra on occasion! LOL

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
what a fantastic milestone... nudity and all!

Noboyz said...

Oh and I forgot to say, the picture in the upper left hand corner....
what a beautiful saying....
and what a beautiful six pack!
LOL

Leigh Ann said...

That is great...not on my bucket list either...it's just too strange. Marci...here's to "drawers"!

And yes, nice 6 pack, I LOVE the saying...

Noboyz said...

LOL

MB and I leave tomorrow after work...

I'll probably go ahead and purchase the dinner tickets for the Jazz Cruize on Sunday night... that's a must....
just everyone confirm with me....

hopefully I will receive a comp room for sunday at Harrah's Casino as well... and maybe we cancel another night and save monies!

Tina said...

They say "MOM... its UNDERWEAR"
hahaha

Noboyz said...

Noboyz said...

Anonymous said...

Hey all...the groupies just left for the evening..I got pics must update my blog!!

I'm enjoying a nice dark red wine :) that will dull anything that ails me LOL...did bike ride and go to the gym...helped Steve do alittle chores..the mouth (dental work) and cold are wing dingers

My daughter has no modesty..scrooples?? I don't know the word...why it's on her bucket list, I have no clue...LMAO..but she says gay men are safe...and they go to this place...

Marci...have a wonderful time with MB...I haven't cancelled Monday night yet...I'll wait to see if you get another room..if so, I can cancel 2 nights at one time

Sorry Tina about your day :( Did Fred catch my cold??

Noboyz said...

Bren, did you and Fred snuggle???
LOL

we just have to regroup and say... oh well! i can't make decisions for them! :)
hope your red wine makes you numb.

marcia

LOL

Leigh Ann said...

Marci, have a great time and the tickets are a must! It would be great if we can cancel two nights...

Brenda, I hope you feel better:(

Tina, what a day you had...hope you got a good nights rest.

Today, I am going to the recruiting station to proctor LT Rhodes comp exam for his Master's program - very neat! He has 6 hours to take it...

It is supposed to take a break from raining today (before it starts back tomorrow), if so, we are kicking the kids outside. LOL!

Tina said...

Cancel 2 nights? what did i miss??

Noboyz said...

Hey all,
Tina, I get "comp" rooms at no charge some times for New Orleans, one of me and Mike's nights this weekend if FREE!! YES!
So, I will see, if a free night falls on the Sunday we are in New Orleans...
:)
OK, I will get the reservations for the Jazz cruise this weekend...
for the Sunday Night.

Anonymous said...

right on Marci...will await word from you on the hotel :)

Leighann...that is so interesting about the proctoring :) share more afterwards...6 hours..WOW!!!!!! Hope the kids get to go out and play!!

Hey Tina!! Hope your day is a good one!!!!

Tina said...

Hey ladies...

Got it Marci! That would be cool.

We got up this morning to find all 3 cars with 4 flat tires... someone pulled the plugs outta them and ruined 2500$ worth of tires. Waiting on the police...which will take HOURS. Zach got a ride to work - girls to school - fred and i are at home waiting.

This f'ing sucks.

Leigh Ann said...

OMG Tina, that is unbelievable... any idea who would have done such a thing? I am so sorry.

So, it's nice to see that I will be able to blog from here at my new job:)

Tina said...

Well there is good news and bad...we have NO idea who did it...but fred, with the help of the guy working on our back yard, managed to replace all the "stems" and inflate the tires...we are now waiting to see if they will hold air. *sigh* Would be nice not to have to replace them all... still no sign of Sandiego's Finest...

Anonymous said...

Oh Tina...that's very upsetting to hear :( I'm so sorry that you all are going through this..sure hope the tires will hold air!!

Leighann...glad you can log on!!

Noboyz said...

OMG... I would have to seriously HURT someone Tina.... gosh...

LA, let us know about your training, you are like mentoring him? cool.

OK, heading out....
The Gingerbread Boy Play @ 2:30... leaving at 5 pm.!
Woooooo HOOOOOOOOO

Leigh Ann said...

Have a great weekend, Marci!

Yes, proctoring his comprehensive exam for his masters degree - he's been in there since 0930 - he probably won't know his name when he's done...poor guy...but, it will be over.

Anonymous said...

Wow that's huge!! :) Congrats to him~ I bet you're tired too Leighann!!

Have fun Marci on the trip!!! :)

Kathi said...

Greetings

Tina, that just SUCKS about the tires...did the police ever show up? Did the tires hold the air?

LA, got your message yesterday about my cousin dealing with my mom's death in his own way; I agree with you on not adding his grief to mine; he did write back and say that he didn't take that as being insensitive, and that he knnew where they thought was coming from...nothing but a good heart; which made me choke up

Bren, hope you're feeling better

Marci, have a great weekend; too funny about the "drawers"; I think people from the east coast call them that too

Kathi said...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ALLYSON

Leigh Ann said...

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!

We are gearing up for soccer this weekend. Rayna is off, but Mackenzie plays in the Smyrna Tournament and Dailen has her first game...her coach is really hot!

HEHE...it's Paul...

Tina said...

Happy Friday all

LA - i just KNEW it was Paul... lol

Got an IM from Marci last night... that didnt make much sense as she apparently had been drinking heavily. LOL. Very cute and she is having fun OBVIOUSLY!! ~makes me glad the trip isnt far off~

Anonymous said...

Leighann that is so cute about Dailen's hot coach :) hehehe...have a wonderful time on the field!!!!!

Tina...FUNNY about Marci!!!!!!! OMG!!

Kathi...good to get things in perspective :) I can't imagine all the stuff you've had to juggle!!

I stayed home from work...needed sleep since I coughed so much last night...feeling much better!! and rested!

Leigh Ann said...

Brenda, glad you got some rest!!!

Tina, yes, I bet she is having a GRAND ole time.

Noboyz said...

Hey girls.... yes we had a BLAST last night! needless to say, when I got a text from my younger brother, that he needed me... my hangover left immediately...
He had a gran mal seizure this morning, and cut his head pretty badly... by the time MB and I checked out and got on the interstate.. .he had had another at his friend's house... his friend called me he was non responsive, what to do, I said CALL 911!!!!!!!!!! anyways, CAT scan showed no bleeding on the brain... they loaded him up thru IV with seizure meds... we go to a specialist next week... we will give him extra doses until then...
I am numb and exhausted....

I will have to go back and read the messages... LA, I still have to take pics of the blanket and booties and all... and get a bag...
will go do that tomorrow...

I did manage to get surprises last night... :)

Kathi said...

That's horrible, Marci; hope your brother's doing better soon (sorry you had to cut your weekend short)

Leigh Ann said...

Marci,
Just tried to call you...PLEASE don't worry about a bag for the present or the shower - rest!Thinking of you and your family.
Love you!!!!

Anonymous said...

Oh Marci...much prayers for your brother!!! Gosh, so scary!! look forward to hearing from you!!! love and hugs!

Kathi said...

Bren, if you're feeling up to it and don't have anything planned this weekend, I need to run some errands (Target to get a new toaster...mine died; and gotta get some more milk..and either a watch, or a new battery for one I already have)
