Renee in NC Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 My dh is actually discussing going back to college without nagging from me! The hard lessons of manual labor in the 95 degree heat seem to be soaking in....:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I got to spend time with a dear friend today--we met for lunch. Then, dh and I took our new little man to the dr. for his 2 month check up and got a good report! This thread is really making me smile!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm379 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I got a very loving and heartfelt email from a good friend. Ok so I get one from her daily, but I really needed her words of wisdom today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 1) Thanks to routine computer maintenance, I got off work an hour early. 2) I'm on day 1 of WW and stayed within my points. 3) I saw my dermatologist this week (after not having seen her in 5 years) and my skin is fine, no concerning moles and I'm 6 years cancer free! (some of you might remember I had malignant melanoma in '04) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakersDozen Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Love the new bras thing! :D My positive news is that my little man is here safely. I do not take lightly that we've been allowed this miracle once again. Also good is that the baby blues aren't quite as bad this time...yet (fingers crossed).

sagira Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Great thread! Dh just put his painting of a lobster for sale three days ago, and it sold for $100. He painted it in 15 minutes :) I took a nap twice this week, thanks to my awesome in-laws. My brother-in-law cleaned my whole kitchen, scrubbed the fridge, all its shelves, took out the trash, swept and scrubbed the floor, and did the dishes. All without me asking and because I'm pregnant and tired. He would make an amazing husband one day. He's also wonderful with the kids.

milovany Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Someone is giving us a goat that's in milk!! :hurray: Big news here, since we had decided to put it off until next year, for cost reasons. PLUS I had just snagged 150 linear feet of chain link fencing (w/gates and posts) for free off Craigslist. Well, I did the spotting -- dh and 16 yo did the "snagging." Just right for said goat. Oh, and our party on Saturday is going to be so fun (I'd posted recently about 63+ people coming over). We're now up to more than 80 with 20 maybes. The big :hurray: with this is that it was supposed to be in the 90s on Saturday, but now it's saying 85 and a touch cloudy. That's do-able! Had a good birthday dinner tonight with dh. Will be 44 on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 My arm is healed enough that I can fire my hygiene-challenged cleaner. And next week husband is taking the two boys to Dallas to see their grandfather, so I'll have a week to work on getting the house clean.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) This is a fun thread to read. Congrats to everyone on the good news! DH and I decided to buy a car yesterday. I am now the proud owner of my first convertible, a 2007 VW Beetle. The best part is I no longer have to get up at 2am and take DH to work and now I can make plans without having to worry about who needs the vehicle. Oh yeah, the ladies I play tennis with noticed I have lost weight and complimented me on being 'skinny'. I have not lost that much weight but the compliments were encouraging.

Luckymama Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 We managed to squeeze out a last-minute trip to WDW (leaving next Saturday!) on a super-skinny budget: *using next year's DVC points *driving to/from Delaware, straight through, $275ish gas and tolls *first night hotel in Downtown Disney for $55 plus tax (and stupid resort fees) without ds sleeping on the floor *tickets through the Open Enrollment Y.E.S program (similar to Homeschool Days), so youngest and I will be attending a 3hr class in the Animal Kingdom-----tickets for the five of us $808 for 5day hoppers (incl Fed Ex shipping) *taking a cooler of food with us, only eating out two sitdown meals (at lunch, too, to save money), approx $200 *the kids have their own money (teens from jobs!, youngest from being frugal with bday money) We really need some time away :) Mom died in November, my sister's fil died in October, her mil has just been moved into care (they live/d nearby so we always hosted them at holidays--I've been helping my sister with everything), dh's parents (also nearby) have health problems that they refuse to talk about..........

Granny_Weatherwax Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 OMH - how could I forget.....DD called me and told me she has gained two pounds. Praises and amen! For us this is an awesome reason to celebrate. Only 6-10 more to gain and I can relax. I hope my sweet MIL can continue to get DD to eat. My MIL is the best cook ever and when her cooking skills are enhanced by the fresh CO Rocky Mountain air and the excitement of atving surely DD will be enticed to eat.

Jan in SC Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Sunday will be my 40th birthday, and my dh has planned a surprised weekend trip. We are leaving in two hours and I have no idea where we are going! I can't believe my children have been able to keep this secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbmom77 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 This thread is making me smile - I love it! :grouphug: After almost a year of pain and sickness (not cancer or anything, but not fun), I finally have a handle on things and am feeling better. My friend and I have been walking the last few weeks, cut back on the Coke, are drinking water, and I've lost 9 pounds and feel good. The kids are excited about a new school year and I'm almost done planning through December. I'm excited to be heading into my last semester of undergraduate school and graduating in December. My baby brother and his family are in town, and we all got together last night to celebrate my boy's 13th birthday. God is good. All the time.
