TGIF 8-8-08 Don't forget the Olympics tonight

17 years ago

Well it has certainly been a long week at this house. I was looking foreward to DH being gone to Sturgis to give me some time to unwind with the kids and just hang out, but Someone decided differently. Yesterday afternoon I started getting contractions everytime I would stand up and move around and was sick with the flu. My DH left at 10 yesterday morning and I was home alone with the little ones. My mil came and watched them while I went to the hospital and was monitored. Turns out I have the flu and it is causing iritation contractions because of the stomach and intestinal flu. I also have one heck of a tension headache that I suspect might be turning into a migraine.

Back now, went in and Dr. gave me a shot for the headache saying it sounded and acted like a migraine and if tylenol with codeine wasn't cutting it we needed to do something else. They gave me a shot and took some blood to make sure that I didn't have preeclampsia. It sure has been a long day. DH went to get Hayden and the girls are going down to my sister's for tomorrow.

So not much cooking around here unless you count canned chicken and star soup that I am having for supper with some crackers.

So hope to enjoy the Olympic opening ceremonies tonight and hope that the headache does go away and the contractions stay away.

Good luck, Stacie, I'm thinking good thoughts for you, I hope you feel better soon.

I'm on my way out to clean the pool, Makayla is spending the night with me tomorrow and I KNOW she'll want to bake something. We'll probably have waffles for breakfast on Sunday and I don't have one darned other thing planned, just a weekend with The Princess. Some movies, a trip to the playground, some time in the pool, some baking.

I don't usually post here, but always read this thread. Just wanted to say, take care of yourself Stacie, and hope you feel better soon.

Annie your weekend sounds fun, and I know you will have a great time!

Funny how the last couple of Friday's, there hasn't been too much posting on this thread. I guess the heat and summer has everyone pre-occupied.

Nothing much happening here this weekend. It is supposed to be cool for a few days, so I want to get some bread baked, some muffins baked, and another of Ann's raspberry tarts made,(made one last weekend for company and they were fighting over the leftovers the next day. Has anyone used blueberries to make it?). Would also like to make a few batches of ice cream (as the heat wave is supposed to come back next week). Then I would like to get some painting done, as it has been months since I have.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Jcrowley, I can't imagine who thought 2 am was a wise time to end a high school party either! Jeepers, right when the sleepy drunks are hitting the roads! There's a local talk radio team around here I like, and one of the guys (who was apparently quite the party dude in his time) says every so often, that "nothing good happens after midnight". Around here (CA Central Valley), we are battening down the hatches for a storm that is meant to be coming our way. 50 mph winds, supposedly. Our back yard will be a lake again...the hardpan is so high that any hard rain saturates the thin layer of soil quite quickly, much to the displeasure of our resident felines, who, upon demanding we open the door to let them out will survey the liquid environs and eye us with displeasure, sure that they are that we could arrange the weather to their liking if we were really interested in their welfare. My husband is off tomorrow afternoon to sing with his Barbershop Quartet, which means I'll have all afternoon and evening to deal with the pile of Meyer lemons given me by a client (Lemon Curd, Lemon Marmalade, frozen lemon juice and peel...and, my husband may just come home to a nice loaf of lemon bread, saturated with lemon syrup.) I was really wanting to get out into the yard this weekend, but it seems that is not to be, so I will console myself with cooking! Enjoy, all! :D

TGIF here too. Elery is on his way up for the weekend and he's bringing supper, that's a good thing. Tomorrow we're going out to visit my mother and I'm taking Amanda and the kids with me. Check up on the "old people", aka Dad and Stepmom, and do the regular chores then because Elery wants to go to church on Sunday. He wants to meet my pastor, he's shopping for someone to marry us, LOL. I keep telling him not to rush me.... Lori, no one notices those 10 hour days I put in either, but they sure sit up and mention it when I'm half an hour late because I have a dentist appointment or something, sheesh. They don't manage to add up those late days either, to find out that I worked 60 hours and got paid for 40, they just notice that half an hour. And have I mentioned that I just hate the media anyway? chase, I hope that septic problem is quick and cheap, this time of year, with all that snow, it's going to be a PIA, plus stinky. Ick. Terri, no Trader Joe's? Well, OK, I guess a new couch should make up for it. Michelle, we had 14 inches of snow here too, some is going to have to melt before we have room for any more! The rivers are already high here, it's so cold that the water doesn't soak into the frozen ground and we've already had flood warnings. In February! Yes, if we get a thaw, it'll be exciting all right. duane, I'm glad business is good. I think. (grin) Fish and chips do sound good, though. Annie

Lori I'm rooting for the Pats just for you. But I gotta tell ya I hate watching basketball. Sharon we saw that production here in LA. John Boy is no Peter Fonda, but it was still pretty good! Bessiedawg you go girl Kidney stones are no fun. I watched DH go through a lithotrypsy (sp?). Susie the caregivers forum will help. I'd also recommend seeing if you can get a social worker to help convince her. Good luck. I've told my boys to give me a martini and chocolate when the time comes that I cannot be easily cared for and they can do what they want, I won't fight. Gina everytime I hear you say 'ping pong' I can't help but think of 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert'. I'll shut up now. Shaun I'm sure you'll find a way to make your hubs forget that you didn't get him a bday card. Ahem. Diane I'm tired just reading what you are doing. I'd love to come help you. Woodie enjoy your shows. Did you see Avenue Q yet? We took our boys. Heh heh. Carol, just for you, I sing 'The Internet is for....' (finish that sentence, or look it up on YouTube) Changeling, feel better. Me? Yesterday it was Cotillion with DS #2 - parent/child dance. Awwwww. I tried to get out of it by scheduling his teeth (two of 'em) extraction for that afternoon. It didn't work, he came home, got over it, and said 'get dressed mom, we're going dancing'. Dang (for those who don't know me yet, thats why they call me 'Evil Jessy'). Sent the rest of the family out for dinner. Today I drove DS #1 to take a practice SAT/ACT exam, and we're hanging the rest of the day. Tomorrow is the game! Basketball, right? What do I know.....its all about the food and company. For Lori and Bob, go PATS!

I wondered the same thing about blueberries. Has anyone tried it with Ann's raspberry tart recipe? Not that it doesn't look fabulous with raspberry's but I have an almost 3 year old who LOVES blueberries. I don't personally like sweets, but my DH and daughter do, so they are my inspiration :) Christy

Hope you feel better soon Stacy.

For the first time in a month I'm aware that it is Friday... well very early Sat morning now. My lay-off has come to an end for now and I go back to work on Monday. I didn't know how bad I needed an extended break. I'm alive and living again!

A rather strange day. New bartender and I struck up a friendship. Alas she is less then half my age so it will be just friends. She had guessed I was "not older then 33" which puts her off by 11 years. Still it was so good for my ego to have an interested gal being friendly.

Just took a walk down my drive as Dolly had been barking at something. Nothing out there to be found but it is one beautiful night out there. Out here in the Thumb we don't get much light pollution so the stars are very clear. The Milky Way makes a neat white stripe across the sky. Some lightning flashing out over Saginaw Bay which is 30 miles north of me. Probably rain by morning but clear and cool right now. Not in the mood for alcohol or I'd take a bottle and go have a sit in the moonlight.

My outdoor cat Tippy got into a bad fight and came home all bloody. Thought he might lose an eye this morning. Patched him up and put some boric acid eye drops on his wounded eye. Must have felt good because he didn't seem to mind my putting stuff in his eye. Happy to report the swelling is way down and he looks better tonight.

Going to buy a storm door in the morning. Only one in stock a couple weeks ago and I need to get another. The garage didn't really need one but both doors are on the front of the house and it looks funny to only have one storm door. Dad said I should close off the porch but I don't know if I have that much energy. Grew potted tomatoes and peppers instead of flowers the last couple years and don't know if I want to lose the porch space now.

So it goes. I need to take some cyclobenzaprine so I can get back to sleep. Doc gave it to me for my back problems but it makes a pretty decent sleeping pill. Way better then ambien but not as good as some opioids. I'll feel buzzed all day tomorrow from it so I only take it when sleeping is otherwise impossible.
