Magic Mommy

Just want to see more positive threads. I'll start: Got hired by a friend to do a dream job, and it looks like it may be more then meets the eye. I paid off my van and treated it to 4 new tires and the expensive detail package. I also paid off the two credit cards I had...both were under $100, but still, I paid them off! And finally, saving the BEST for last.....It's Friday and I get to eat lunch with my kids at school! What's the reason for blue skies in your neighborhood?

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly I don't know why she swallowed a fly Prehaps she'll die My husband and I have begun noticing that some of the old "nursery rhymes" are actually morbid. Even before the Hansel and Gretal remake, my daughter HATED the thought of an old lady in the woods who eats little kids that get lost. But one of my all-time favorite goofy songs.... Ahem. "On top of spegetti, all covered with cheese....I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table, and onto the floor....and then my poor meatball rolled out the front door.

Ask Moonie...she brought me mine yesterday. Yummy!

I so wish I had taken a picture of the Stoffer's box in the freezer at Walmart yesterday.....it said "Now, with AUTHENTIC meat!" My husband and I died laughing in the store, but now it makes sense!!

Praying and lifting him up...

Two weeks ago, a close friend of the family committed suicide. No warning, not even a hint this was coming. It's been hard to process. Please pray for his wife and children, for healing and understanding. And for all of us friends who are left stunned and mourning. Then, at midnight last night, I got a call from my best friend's husband. I knew the time of the call was a warning, and the fact that HE was calling made me even more nervous. My best friend is 43 and they think she had a small stroke, or a series of strokes, in the past several days. Right now, she's in the hospital and

I'm looking forward to my Spring Break Camping trip. How does the second week in April look? I'm hoping for warm days and cool nights, light winds and no storms!! (PLEASE!!)

I just want to say "Thanks, Chris"!!

Thank you all for understanding. I think that post was cathardic for me. I am having a very peacful day so far....and its much needed.

I have also heard Him. I have personally witnessed miracles and got to hug one of them this morning before he left for school. His was a medical miracle, born without the nerve endings that should connect the optic nerve to his brain. He was diagnosed by 10 weeks and until the age of 3, I was told there was no hope. I continued to pray, even though at that time, my faith was weak and I was only crying out for my son, for his future, for his quality of life. To be honest, I wasn't a believer. I was just desperate. Then, when he was at the age of 3, I got angry. I had cried out to God an

I'm Team Beyonce....and breakfast for dinner here. Pancakes, bacon & eggs, biscuts, and sausage.

0. Its more like 0-2 times a year for us!

I talked to school. They're on lockdown, may have delayed release. All is well from their report. I am not as calm as the words look, but realize its the world we live in.

OMG. That's my kids school. Hubby JUST left to get them

This is something I need to remember. I don't exactly celebrate when the karma train comes in, but I have noticed a few times where I felt vindicated...just a little. Really good advice, LPPT. Thank you for posting this.

Scarred but smarter. I could say stronger, because close friends comment constantly about how much I have to carry. The reality is, I remember when my oldest was diagnosed with autism and then my middle son diagnosed visually imparied within the same week. I remember thinking my life was going to be really hard, not a "normal" road for parenting. I remember feeling sorry for myself for a few weeks, being very depressed and thinking worst case scenerios. I was especially upset at having to give up my carreer because we would be "poor". Almost seven years later, I look back to that time an

I still don't know what happened, and now, no time to find out. But the bold/underlined was what my exact thoughts were as I read your post. I read this quote somewhere recently: "You may have heard it from the horse's mouth, but still be weary of neigh-sayers." Don't let them ruin your day. I hear it's gorgeous weather out there....

I'm prepaid and my usage went WAY up in January. (went from under $2 a day to about $5.50 a day--a huge leap for us) As far as I can tell, my usage and charges are correct. I keep a daily log of my kilowatt usage hours from the meter on the house. It's worth keeping a check on that meter....I've found I was overcharged in the past. If you call and ask about the higher bills, they will tell you it's based off the kilowatt usage reported from the electronic meters. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on it just in case.

In my area, many of the us (neighbors) go out to the main road and clean up about twice a month. We don't just clean the area around the front of our neighborhood. We also walk up the main street and clean both sides of the road. We walk the edge of the road and clean up around the driveways and the edges of the front yards. Lost of fast food trash. We do this because we take pride in our community and we don't want to see the trash piled up at the entrance to our subdivision.

Diito! I have no idea what happened and I'm not looking it up....but one of the reasons I visit this site is to see what NC is going to say next. NC-you make me laugh, you actually offer good advice (when I don't read it in my sarcastic voice), and you provide much entertainment to all of us. You're my kind of people, too!!

First, I already tried the pcom member who sells sports stuff. I thought we had an order (actually, I placed two) and got reasons as to why nothing was ordered. I do understand illnesses, but they've posted since I was supposed to recieve my order and they don't respond to my PMs, so I'm guessing I have no order.... I've already completely missed the baby shower, ended up not sending anything because I thought I was getting a cool basket full of Bama Baby stuff. Now my nephew is due any day and without driving over to Montgomery and doing a last minute scramble through the mall, does a

I'm the mom of an autisitc child and I can promise you, when I hear the comments, I DON'T TAKE IT OUTSIDE. I embarrass the heck out of the person right then and there, just the way they do it to my son.

And the mom will go off on YOU. I don't think it's worth a confrontation. IF I would say anything to the adults present, it would be alone the lines of "smile, I'm calling DFCS", as I photograph the kids in the middle of the road. The parents may not think it's a big deal until someone gets hit by a car, but the authorities call it "child endangerment". ETA: I totally agree with you though, those parents need some sort of "talking to!"

I have full coverage on my ten year old van for this reason. I do somewhere around 5 over the speed limit. If I have a bumper-kisser, I suddenly get a heavy brake foot and slow down to 5 UNDER the limit. If they don't pass and my kids aren't in the car, I ride my break. Go ahead and hit me. PLEASE!!! Rear ending me means it's YOUR fault and I get a new van!! That's one of the reasons I pay too much for car insurance...that and the fact that there are soooo many idiot drivers who only have liabilty. I've only had one accident in 17 years of driving, knock on wood. It was last July in M

I need one!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It's a HUGE joke in my house that I can't get the dang fireplace going. I used to light the gas and wait for it to catch the wood on fire but my kids lost my key. My husband gets it going with newspaper but I've burned two whole papers and still can't get anything but paper to burn. This will redeem me, a little....until he figures out that there's a new key.... Sending PM
