The "I Love Weekly's" Weekly

[Mummy deer-est]

Morning all...and morning to all newcommers! Geez, one little email from Larry, and now we have exponentially grown! Larry has magic fingers! It's great....

I have a cold...but in good spirits, perhaps b/c I have been on and off this site through my sniffy haze. Just worried about getting it all done before Thanksgiving. Should I beg off and ask someone else to host? Hmmm.
Hope everyone is doing well, and has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[BlackRose]

Morning. That's all I've got.

[Sickie Ickie]

I love looking at this forum. Afternoon y'all!

[spookineer]

Good monday all,
Mummy, it would be a good excuse if really don't want to...lol
Rose, that's all that could be expected on a Monday...
Sickie, do you ever sleep?

[Sickie Ickie]

LOL with this 3 year old? :eek:

[spookineer]

Question answered...LOL

[BlackRose]

You're supposed to lie and say that you get more sleep than ever when you have kids. I like being lied to about these things. I've convinced my MIL that babies are tiny when they come out and then blow up immediately after. I mean, that seems right doesn't it?

[Mummy deer-est]

LOL rose! Ummmm....your totally right! No wonder it was so freakin' easy for my two!
Spook -- I do want to, but don't too. You know? Tried to ask mom w/o asking, but she didn't bite :( Guess it's time to pull myselp up off the couch and go to the grocery store.

[BlackRose]

LOL rose! Ummmm....your totally right! No wonder it was so freakin' easy for my two!


Mummy - you've just become my new best friend!!! :p

[SantaPaws]

Wait till they are teenagers. Then the fun really starts.

[Mummy deer-est]

Oh, see, that is just wrong SantaPaws!

True Story....
I was a very preg. and homonal woman in a local mall watching the teenage girls in skimpy clothes, and the teenage boys that followed, while my hubby was in a store. Got me thinking about how I was having a girl and how fate would truly come back to haunt me. Broke down right then and there -- full fledged crying attack like no other.
Husband came out and was like "it will be okay..." but I was a wreck! My sister says, "that's why god gives you babies, so you work up to it!" Watching my 5 year old turn into a teen (yes, already:eek:) is so scary!

So rose...I'll be your best friend if you be mine! It's not really lying....;)

[SantaPaws]

I think not. I have heard parents say this before and my step kids are no different. I can hear it in my head. "You screwd my life up mom. I hate you I hate you I hate you!"

[Mummy deer-est]

Oh, I totally believe it. And I know my kids will do it too, as all do. :(
I just meant that I wanted to stay oblivious to it for as long as possible! :D

[SantaPaws]

Yea, we don't want to scare the new mommie. LOL. Nevermind. LOL

[BlackRose]

I just meant that I wanted to stay oblivious to it for as long as possible! :D

AMEN!!!!!!!

[BlackRose]

Yea, we don't want to scare the new mommie. LOL. Nevermind. LOL

Yeah, good job with that. LOL

[SantaPaws]

Yeah, good job with that. LOL

Just hide your car keys and you will be fine. and don't buy them a cell phone or whatever it is in the future that kids want at that time.

[Mummy deer-est]

LOL SantaPaws...I'm already coming up with the hiding places! :D

[spookineer]

Children in general are a joy while they are growing and running around stepping on your toes. Then they hit puberty and get dumb again. They will continue to become dumber until about mid 20's when they realize that you were not as stupid as they thought, it was them. And if your parenting skills are good enough, they will not step on your heart and become Oakland Raiders fans.
Good Luck... Hope you do better than I did.

[Sickie Ickie]

Sure, they are curteous and listen to everything you say as a parent, so they can obey your every wish. :D

[Mummy deer-est]

I could live with Raiders fans....but Cowboys are a whole other story. And Giants. And Eagles. And heck, let just throw in the Yankees just to cover my bases! :)

[spookineer]

Don't even get me started on the cowboys! "Americas embarrassment"

[Mummy deer-est]

Although, I am ashamed to admit that I have Romo on my fantasy football team. Don't hate me. :) But I still cursed him with every TD he threw against my Redskins on Sunday.

[Sickie Ickie]

Don't even get me started on the cowboys! "Americas embarrassment"

YEah, but the cheerleaders! :D

[skullboy]

And if your parenting skills are good enough, they will not step on your heart and become Oakland Raiders fans.
Good Luck... .


Oh thats not very nice.I know people that are Bears and Cubs fans!:rolleyes:

[spookineer]

I have no disrespect for the Bears or Cubs, but being a 49ers fan and having both my sons be Raiders fans, it's like a stake through my heart.
They both think it's funny... wait till they read my will!

[BlackRose]

I know you are supposed to root for the home team - and I go to a couple of games every season so I guess that would technically make me a falcons fan. But really I like Greenbay. :)

[skullboy]

My boy is a Packer fan,doesnt bug me much.I have loved the Raiders since I was 5.Last many years they really stink,but gotta stay true.I like the Black/Silver and the bad attitude.:cool:

[Mummy deer-est]

The Raiders are the closest NFL team to Halloween, no wonder you like em' skullboy!
I'll stick with the Redskins...even if they do suck half the time. :)

[skullboy]

The Raiders are the closest NFL team to Halloween, no wonder you like em' skullboy!
:)


I have never heard it put that way.Prolly true.:D

[spookineer]

The Raiders are the closest NFL team to Halloween, no wonder you like em' skullboy!


That has to be it, he seems like a reasonably intelligent person of good moral fiber. Certainly not stereotypical of the majority.

HHMMM,never been told I have good moral fiber either nor that I am reasonably inteligent.:rolleyes:

[Mummy deer-est]

LOL - come as you are!

[spookineer]

Well, survived yesterday, survived shopping all day today, and will probably survive more turkey for dinner. But then any day this side of the dirt is a good one. Hope your days are going even better...

[Sickie Ickie]

basting turkey still...

[Mummy deer-est]

shopping? Brave soul! I was going to, but my eldest got a fever that came out of no where -- just before Thanksgiving. She was a mess when my parents got here before the meal -- temp of almost 103. And it gets worse at night, so I didn't want to risk leaving in the middle of the night/early morning, and have her wake up screaming for me. She seems to be getting better now, but between a cold, asthma, and the fever, this little girl has been through the ringer the past week. Has big dark circles under her eyes. But, on the up side, I haven't been cuddled like this for a few months, so....

Anywho...have a great weekend everyone. Enjoy your cyber shopping too!

[Sickie Ickie]

Hope your little one gets better soon, mummy!

[Mistress Muffy]

How's the little one doing ...Mummy?

Muf

[Mummy deer-est]

Thanks, guys...she is better. Still coughing, but the temp seems to be staying under 100. I get so nervous with her b/c she had to stay in the hospital for a few days about 2 years ago for a similar virus. Nervous nelly. But she seems much better, thanks for checking. :)

[bethene]

Mummy- glad your little one is doing better. When they have asthma, those kinds of colds- viris things are always worse. It can get scarey. It's understandable to be a nervous nelly!

[Sickie Ickie]

Heck, I have a son who DOESN'T have asthma, and I STILL worry everytime he coughs!

[Mummy deer-est]

Yeah, you just want to keep em in a bubble. :)

[Clarice]

I always threaten to wrap mine in cotton.

[BlackRose]

Hello all. Did everyone get their tree up yet?

[spookineer]

Hello all. Did everyone get their tree up yet?

Well, sort of. We won't be home for Christmas so we bought a tiny pre-lighted tree at Michaels to take with us on the cruise ship. It's plugged in now at home so does that qualify?

[Mummy deer-est]

Nope, still debating where to put it. Or to convince hubby that since we have a bigger house, we now need two trees! :)

[Sickie Ickie]

Hello all. Did everyone get their tree up yet?


That's rather personal, don't ya think? :eek:

LOL Still need to do some cleaning to put up the tree.

[Mistress Muffy]

Hi Rose...mine is in the stand. I have 5 trees thru my house & 2 are decorated, the rodeo one & the depression tree. Still have the big bawana to go & the Hawaiian tree & the new one for my bedroom. But I'm plugg'in away.

Muf

[Sickie Ickie]

The depression tree? Why don't you try to cheer it up?

[SantaPaws]

Is the depression tree covered in Cymbolta? LOL

[spookineer]

How could a Christmas tree be depressing?

[Clarice]

I hope she means a depression era tree.

[Mistress Muffy]

Jeezz...I better think before I type!!lol

I call it the depression tree...lol but its a tree that has decorations from my family that were all bought during the depression!!

Ok ....everybody got that???lol Thank You Clarice!

Mischievious Muffy

[Clarice]

Happy to be of service M'Lady. I have a few depression pieces myself.

[Sickie Ickie]

depression glass is nice. :)

[SantaPaws]

Does that mean that the tree is made from Potatoe sacks?

[Mummy deer-est]

Sorry to switch the subject, ya'll....but I am so sad...
Sean Taylor, one of my Redskins, was shot and I just heard that he passed. I guess it gets me b/c he has a one year old and everyone was saying how much he had grown since having her. No one is safe from things like this. :(

[Sickie Ickie]

Somewhere there's a tree dedicated entirely to him..
