Good Luck, Teresa!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'm sure you'll do great!!
Topic: RE: 4th Plans, Anyone??
Hey I've got one of those mocking birds at my house too!!! Sometimes it's not so cute!! We have some big plans for the 4th....sorry this is a long one.
My sisters, their families, friends, and our family are renting a campground in WI. It has 7 cabins along with a big lodge building with another room off from it with 4 more bunks. It sleeps 64 people. There's a kitchen, refridgerators, stoves, and running water (not drinkable but can use to wash up etc....). We've been going to this place since I was about 7 yrs old...OMG that means for 30 yrs now. It started out as a place for our family reunion for my dad's family...now we do it on our own. We should have about 40 people there. It's $450 for the 3 nights. We usually potluck the food except for lunch everyone brings whatever they want for that. We planned burgers and brats one night, fajitas one night, and steak/chicken for one night. We each make a very big salad and some kind of dessert or two to share. We usually have way too much food. Breakfasts will include...scrambled eggs, pancakes, and or biscuits and gravy. We are each also bringing a lb of bacon and a lb of sausage....also fruit and juice. We are all responsible for our own drinks.
Funny part of this whole weekend is a few yrs ago when my husband came with us for the first time.....ok he's legally blind...sees well in the day but is completely blind in the dark......was lighting off the fireworks for us all. So it's been a running joke in our family that we let the blind man light off the fireworks. Well, this yr my sister found some with glow in the dark fuses...hehehe we are getting him some as a joke.
Can you tell I'm very excited about this whole weekend??? Sadie will absolutely love being outside and swimming all weekend long. We have stocked up on sunscreen and bug spray.
Topic: Interview Tomorrow (Wednesday 7/2/08)!!!!
I posted about a week or so ago that I had a lead on a pretty promising job. Well the supervisor and I were playing phone tag yesterday but I finally got a hold of him this morning. Since he works on base also it's making it really easy for us to meet. So we are scheduled for 11:00 Wednesday morning! I'm really excited but trying not to get my hopes up to much. I've been in this buisness long enough to know anything could happen. My former government sponsor was in town yesterday and stopped by my desk. I told him about this job and he said he knows some of the government guys in that building and on the program. He made a comment about giving one of them a call. I don't know if he did or not but I know about 2 hours after he left my desk the guy called me. Please say a prayer for me in the morning. I'm not really nervous because some of the government people that work where I'm interviewing I already know and have worked with in one way or another. I'm more nervous about not getting it. Working for the government makes for a very *interesting* career but it is really good pay and benifits.
I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow afternoon.
Hugs

Topic: 4th Plans, Anyone??
Hunter & I have volunteered to walk & hand out candy in the 4th of July parade here. I think it will be a blast!!! My DH has to work, so, it was going to be a mommy/son day, anyway.
Have I told you all that he has become a little 'mocking bird'?? I am learning that I need to watch what I say & how I react to things A WHOLE LOT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jamie, It really sucks that you guys haven't been able to enjoy the sun yet this summer. I'll try and get some bottled and mailed to you ASAP.
That is so funny what you said about the plastic silverware & paper plates. Growing up we used paper plates a lot and mom always called it her 'fine china'... Now I'm making DH & Sarah eat off of them more. DH tried complaining about it one night and I told him that as soon as he starts cleaning the kitchen we could use what ever he wanted. He hasn't said a word about it since. LOL
I can't wait until we get our new appliances. Our new frig has an icemaker and I'm beyond excited. I have to say that I'm more excited about my kitchen faucet... This new faucet I just picked out has a high-temperature limit stop that allows you to preset a comfortable maximum temperature to eliminate scalding and a temperature memory that enables water to be turned on/off at any temperature setting. I know I'm strange but I just fell in love with this faucet. (I really need a life) LOL

Hey JoAnn, DH is grilling chicken for us tonight also. Sarah wakes up just about every morning asking for either pizza or chicken. The child is going to start growing feathers for how much chicken she eats... LOL When I tell her she can't have pizza or chicken for breakfast she then asks for toast. I have no idea where that has come from but she is now on this toast kick.
I'm sorry your getting beat up at work. What is with these employees??? Why can't they just let us make our money and leave us alone. LOL
We understand if you're not able to be as active as you would like. We are still here for you regardless how active your able to be. We do miss you when we don't hear from you but we completely understand.
Hugs

Michelle, you come here and vent any time you need to honey. That is what we are here for. I completely understand how you feel except I only have one child so I can't imagine what it would be like with teenagers plus a toddler. Honey, you deserve a vacation. Make sure you do take your book with you this weekend and sneak off to get some 'you' time.
I don't think anyone ever realizes what all Mommies have to go through. I found myself calling my mom the other day and apologizing because I'm not finding out what she went through with my sister and I. She just laughed at me. LOL
Hang in there and know we are here for you.

Hey Ladies,
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Nothing exciting going on today. Just the same ole work drama... LOL This place is better then a soap opera..
Anyone else like these little Emoticons??? I'm dying to post or reply to a post using all of them... Now how crazy would that drive everyone??? LOL I sit here and look at them every time I post and figure out how I can incorporate them into my post. Hmmm???? I think the happy pills are kicking in...
Anyway, back to the real world...
Court, I'm so sorry to hear about your sunburn. Like JoAnn said, I'm fair skin also so if I even just look at the sun I look like a lobster. The only time I've actually had a nice tan was right before I got pregnant with Sarah and I was going to a tanning salon. Hope you start feeling better soon.
Hope everyone has a wonderful evening with the family!
Hugs
Teresa

Oh I can't wait until we get to the lake...get the car unpacked and head down to the beach. I'm definitely going to relax one way or another. I'm packing my book too so hopefully I can sneak away and read to get some alone time. I figure maybe while Sadie is napping. Sounds like your housewarming is coming together. How exciting. I wish I had an icemaker....we'll probably spend a fortune on ice this weekend.
