Happy Friday Eve!

Hey all - I'm wearing my worried face this a.m.  My poor, sweet little B has the flu, and almost lamonia (which is what he calls pneumonia).  His mother had to take him to the ER last night, he had a temp of 102 and was coughing terribly.  Since he has asthma, things like this alway**** him hard.  I knew he wasn't feeling well when he didn't want to play the Wii or eat an ice cream from McDonald's and my brother had to force him to eat mac & cheese.  His mom said he woke up crying this a.m., and if he didn't get better, she was going to take him back to the ER.  So cross your fingers!! That's pretty much front and center in my world.  I've got supplies coming in today and my boss is off for 10 days, so I've got lots to do.  I'm also planning yet another retirement party next Friday night, and the count is well over 100 people.  I keep saying that I'm not doing anymore, but I had committed to this one for my friend several years ago, so........................ Hope everyone is well and keeping warm.  Have a great day! Tia

Hi Tia, I  hope and pray B gets getts soon.   I hate it when kids gets sock.  My daughter was getting up all night crying too complaining her thoat and chest hurt.  She had a low grade temp this morning of 99.8 and I still took her to school. But I have a feeling we are spending this week weekens sick home.  We are supoose to go to PA to my husband's nephew 1st birthday party and it seems like that will probably a no go.   Have fun planning the retirement party. Have a great day!

Hey Tia Happy FriPay eve !!!  yes ... tomorrow is PAYDAY ...   Of course, I'm not sure why I'm so excited .. it's all pretty much spoken for already , but it's the idea of payday I guess. Hope that B bounces back soon and is his cheerful little self in no time. Lefty is acting 'strangely'.   He's crying for food, but then not gobbling it up when he's fed.   I didn't even give him any more food when I left for work this a.m., he still had what looked like a good amount of fresh food (I am guessing Mr Mo fed him on the way out this morning) in his bowl.   Of course, he'll be a crazy cat and be all over Mr Mo when he walks in the door this afternoon .. demanding MORE food!!!   When he goes through these spells, I get panicky and worry that the end is near, and then he bounces back .. so I'm hoping this is nothing to worry about yet again. I'm looking out my window at the snow !!!   geeeeeez .. I guess I should have a clue and pay attention to the weather forecast, but I'd almost rather be surprised.   Besides, it's going to be next to nothing down here anyway. Hair appointment tonight ... am in definite need of a trim.   Tomorrow I have a professional conference so I'll be out of the office all day ... I guess that's why I keep thinking today is Friday .. because even though I am working tomorrow it won't be here. Still have no clue about the weekend.   I am leaning toward the RV show in Chantilly as opposed to going to the thing in Atlantic City ... that is a long way to go .. and the event is more $$$ than the RV show would be.   Of course, Lefty is still lobbying for the movie and popcorn idea that you suggested!!! Hugs,

Mo

P.S.   Can I reserve your party planning expertise for my retirement party in about 4 years????  

Hey Moie - Of course, I'll do your retirement party!!!!  Can you photog your own, though????? See?  Lefty's a smart cat - he's not eating the food because he doesn't want to be too full for the popcorn!!! Now KB are both sick.  SIGH!!!   I'll catch up with you later as I'm sure you won't see this until Friday afternoon. Tia

AWWWWW Tia I hope he will be well soon! BIG HUGS TO HIM! I am sitting here looking at this white crap outside thinking insead to hitting the gym in my car, I guess I better get shoveling some of this.  Get us posted! Hugs Kristen

Thanks, honey!  Now they're BOTH sick!  UGH!!!! Popcorn, popsicles and DVD's for us tomorrow.  I don't want them to be out in the weather, and B will do anything to stay inside in his footed pj's!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, yesterday was a mess.  I'm sure it hurt Gabby's feelings to get out of school early!!! Tia

So sorry to hear that B is under the weather! I hope he's soon on the mend. I'm sending hugs and chicken soup through cyber space for him! I seem to remember you saying you weren't going to do any more retirement parties. But, I can certainly see how you would feel obligated, and honored to do a friends party. Hope everyone stayed warm, safe and dry today. Have a good weekend all!!

Hey Kath!!! Thanks, that chicken soup hit the spot!!  Now KB are BOTH sick!!!  I have them tomorrow, so hopefully, they'll be on the mend a bit. Yes, thank you for making me eat my words!!!  I DID say I wouldn't do any more parties, but I had committed to this one a long time ago and this guy is a wonderful friend, so it's actually a labor of love.  The part that makes me hit it is that people can't RSVP when they're supposed to and end up wanting to pay me at the door.  What they don't realize is that I've got to cover it if they don't show (but short of death, I don't have a problem calling people who don't show and telling them that I paid for them and expected to be reimbursed!).  Troopers are the worst!!!!!!! Hope you made it slogging through the mess, too! Have a great weekend!! Tia

I am sorry B isn't well. Seems like so many people are getting sick this year. I have managed to escape it so far. The baby has gained a pound. He now weighs 3 lbs 7 ounces. He has really taken off with the tlc from Mt Washington. They are great. I am taking this weekend for me. I am going to Richmond to the Weight Loss Conference. I went last year and really enjoyed it. I'll let everyone know what I learn when I get back. This isn't pay Friday for me. Have a great weekend anyway!

Aime, Have a wonderful weekend in Richmond .. safe trip! Hugs, Mo
