Aly - YEAH! A free weekend. That is so sweet of your MIL. Enjoy!:D

Renee - Oh dear. I hope Olivia doesn't get it either. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Yes, sending hubby to the store can cause and issue. On my bad mobility days I send DDs. It's the same as you sending hubby. I end up with a little of the good stuff but tons of snacks and they overspent. YIKES! Hope you all start feeling better over the weekend.

Kay - OUCH! I don't like those red ants. They hurt when they bite and it swells. Those boots would have come in handy today, huh? Please post pictures of the little goslings.

Yes, Renee, kitty goes home tonight. I'm waiting until after 6:00 to bring her back. I hate driving in rush hour traffic especially when I don't have to. DBF will be home by then so the garage door will be open. We're working on the front door so it's taped up and I wouldn't be able to get in so I have to wait until he gets home.

Oh, guess what? The carpet people came to install the carpet. He untaped the front door and left the screen door unlocked. So, DBF comes home from work and they are just finishing up. They asked how he liked it and he said they did a good job but it's the WRONG COLOR. LOL. The guy showed him the paper work and DBF said that's my street name not the color. LOL. Since it is a lighter tan than what he bought he told them just to leave and to finish it up. Can you believe that? We laughed about it. Good thing DBF has a sense of humor. Of course if it was pink or purple that might be a different story.

How are your little ones doing Renee? I hope Olivia does NOT get this.

1 week ago my children had the stomach flu and this week a horrible
time with a severe cold/virus.:( yuck.:mad: On Wednesday my
4 year old had a coughing jag in the grocery store and
ended up throwing up at the store. We had to leave a full(and I mean
chock full) cart and go home. Poor kid. We also had shopped for more
than 2 hours.:eek: For the last few days I keep thinking "Where did
I put those oranges?? Oh yeah, I put them in a basket but didnt take
them home:eek::eek:." Its driving me nuts.:Doh:

I hope you and the kids feel better soon. I think I need to open the
windows and air the place out. too much sickness.

lol, it's more like, there's only a few skin patches left where I can FEEL, so the ants got as high as the backside of my KNEES before I realized what I was standing in...

I've gotten smart, and wear heavy socks, pulled up OVER my pants legs, so things can't get in... but there was a HOLE in my sock, and I was wearing Birkies... so, the invasion of the body-Kay proceeded apace!

ouch, ouch, ouch!

well, it might take another week for Gwyn to finish laying, and then, a MONTH after that until hatch day...

the biggest part of farming is the *waiting*

and man, sorry about the carpet! so, you're just gonna leave it that way?

oh, man, I'm with ya on THAT one!

I moved here first, and it took mi esposo over a YEAR to finish up business in the US, and tie up all the loose ends...

luckily, (at least) we were still in the same TIME zone, even though thousands of miles apart, so we could still chat on IM every evening for an hour, or two, or three...

:D

so, when I flew up to the US, to get him and our cat (whom I ALSO missed terribly!) it was like honeymoon city!

:hug:

Good Morning all. :) Sitting here with my usual coffee in hand.

sorry didn't check in yesterday, but by the time I got home was too tired to do anything but watch a DVD before crashing.

Had a follow up brain and neck MRI. Well, had four scans that needed repeated. 2 due to coughing, one due to a neck twitch, and the last one due to the MRI machine "blue screening" in the middle of the scan. LOL, me and the machine did not get along yesterday. :rolleyes:

Due to the extra time, had to run to work straight from there. Work wasn't too bad, but it was a typical friday of lots of people wanting to pay bills.

Tonight we're going to a friend's house. Great people who really want to understand my MS. You can tell that some of the questions they ask are from a genuine concern and a desire to know more. :)

Have a great day everyone. :)

oh, man, Finny, that's a bummer!

last MRI for me, lived in a rural area (low demand, few appointments), so when things glitched, they just kept going!

that meant I was encapsulated for over three HOURS (full brain & spine w/gadolinium), so I know how ya feel!

***

and, as usual, I *completely* forgot to do MY update, in my previous post!

Gwyn is laying another egg right now, and seems to like the little hutch we built her.

one of my guinea pigs passed away yesterday (Patsy, while having a miscarriage) and that made me cry... will I ever get used to farming and the cycle of life? I dunno...

we rose at 4:30 this morning, to hitch a ride to San Ignacio with our neighbor who sells his cabbage at the vegetable market.

we carried off a week's work of produce (our truck's STILL waiting for tranny parts!) and SCORE !! a HUGE bag of lettuce leaves for my animals.

then, the bus ride back home (lol, the buses here are OLD (50s and 60s) school buses from the US... and as I ride, sometimes I wonder if I ever rode this particular bus as a child... that's kinda weird...

then, a half-mile trudge uphill on foot, to get our goodies home, feed all the animals, spend an hour unwinding at the computer, and guess what?

it's only 9:30 am, and I'm ready for my NAPPY-TIME already!

;)

I too am glad a friend told me about this site, thank you friend

so many familar faces, I feel right at home already:rolleyes:

Theresa - So glad your honey is home. I do hope the house sells quickly! Every time we moved as kids my dad would always be away at the "new" place which was always in another state. It was so hard on my mom. I never realized that until I got older and put it all together. Single mom of 10 kids for a month or two - no thanks! I know it must be hard on all of you but things will work out soon. Hang in there and enjoy your weekend with your hubby!!!

Soxmom - OMG! LOL. I did that once but for a different reason. DDs were acting up so horribly that I just left the store. They were about 2 and 3 at the time. That was the last time they acted up in the store. LOL. I hope everyone is feeling better.

Fin - Oh, that does not sound like fun. I do not like the MRI's too claustrophobic. I go sedated.:D I am glad your friends were so interested in what was going on with you. What a group of keepers.

Kay - Thanks for the pictures. Sorry about the guinea pig.:(.

Frank - HI! Glad you are here too!

Not much to update on my part. Kind of boring, I know. But it's a chill weekend for us. I have Mount St. Laundry to tackle and that will be the extent of my chores.

I hope everyone has a good day!
