We switch roles some days and I become the 3yo (Nate - NaNa as we call him) and he becomes mommy... I even got sent to time out a few weeks ago... I was SO excited because in our house when you are in "time out", you can't talk, read or play and no one talks to you... the best part... your time out is the length of your age... I had more than 30 minutes (yes, I served my ENTIRE time) of peace and quite while the "mommy" watched cartoons!!!

Wow! I need to teach my little guy that game!

My DS's friends dubbed me Momma Bates several years ago. None of them refer to me as Shawn's mom. I'm Momma Bates. The Furry Guy is much more likely to be referred to as Rae's husband than I am as Chris's wife. I just know lots more people.

 

[chefann]

I just know lots more people.

Why does that not surprise me?

 

[amy07]

With three kids under 8, I'm "mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"... always VERY loud and VERY whiny...

Yeah, I get that too - my oldest will be 8 in July and he can be just as bad as the twins (who just turned 4 on Tuesday )!!! One day I told them all that was not my name anymore, so then they started yelling "Amy" all day. UGGHHHHH - where do they get their smart mouths from?!?!?

 

[chefann]

You? No! Couldn't be.... maybe their dad?

 

[raebates]

I once told my DS that I'd changed my name. Until he guessed it, I wouldn't answer. After a few minutes of guesses, he gave up. Ahh, peace and quiet.



Of course, we didn't speak for years. Hmmm, maybe that's related. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/confused0006.gif

It's crunch time.....Hi everybody!!!! I just wanted to let you guys know that I am going to be MIA for about the next 2-3 weeks. Yes the end of my school is almost here and Mr. Procrastination has not done page 1 of the 40 page paper that is due in mid-June. So, I am going to take some time and get it complete so I don't fail this class and can get my degree.

Have fun trying to kill this beast and I know I will have a lot of catching up to do.

 

[BethCooks4U]

MIA for a couple weeks? What do you call where you've been lately??

Good luck with the paper ...and next time make a plan and get a little done each week so this doesn't happen again! (The mom talking now)

 

[raebates]

Good luck, Jason! We'll miss you. Now go get that paper done!

(I'm a mom, too.)

 

[amy07]

Jason! Where HAVE you been?!?!?!
Good luck on the paper!

 

[katie0128]

That is so funny... My oldest will be 8 on July 3... when is your's turning 8? He has a habit of being a bit more "vocal" than the 3yo, mainly because he know LOTS more words!

 

[amy07]

july 6th. And yes, he is very vocal as well.

[amy07]

I'm sure it will continue......................UNLESS you guys let me kill it!

 

[katie0128]

Your dream for that = squash... just like grape (just saw Karate Kid a few weeks ago... I love that line)

 

[raebates]

Wax on. Wax off.

 

[katie0128]

Paint fence... up, down, up, down

 

[BethCooks4U]

Okay everyone. It's late time to go to bed and dream of (whatever you dream about) and forget about this thread. I've got it.

 

[katie0128]

nope i just had a big glass of some soft drink not really sure what it was because it was dark in the kitchen and all i know is that it had lots of caffiene that is kicking in so i'm going to be up for quite a while sorry to burst your bubble but that is they way the cookie crumbles oh shoot now i'm hungry but i'll be back as soon as i can find something to eat

 

[BethCooks4U]

Must have been some snack!




















Hopefully she's still eating or finallly fell asleep and forgets about this thread.

 

[chefann]

But I'm up today, and patrolling CS.

neener neener neener...

(I put another button in the mail for you, Beth.)

 

[BethCooks4U]

I knew either you or Rae would be watching this thread!

And thanks Ann! I don't understand what happened to the first one. I always get my mail. ...but then a relative of my mail carrier was just arrested for stealing and burying mail and several of her relatives were implicated. Maybe he stole it. I'll have to watch to see if he's wearing my CS button! ...seriously, thanks! I'm sorry you had to resend.

 

[chefann]

Good grief! I had heard stories of postal carriers stealing cards that had gift cards in them, but I never knew anyone who had a bad carrier.

It's not a problem to resend. If the other one shows up, give it to someone you know.

Hey that's funny - we just had several Postal Workers arrested in GR not to long ago, for just throwing out all kinds of mail! Right at the main Post Office! Makes you wonder how often this actually goes on.....?

 

[chefann]

Becky, I just billed you for a button.

 

[raebates]

Thanks for spoiling things for Beth, Ann. I've been actually working today at work, so I haven't been on here most of the day.

Of course, my work got sidetracked a bit when my baby boy showed up. I posted a thread about it. He surprised me at work. Didn't expect to see him til Christmas. I love that boy of mine.

Oh, yes! We wouldn't want Beth to win! Noooooooooo

Nope, we wouldn't.

Christmas??? WOW... what a long time. What brought him back so early?

 

[BethCooks4U]

Thought I'd just log in this evening.




















Looking around hoping no one sees me here.

 

[raebates]

Christmas??? WOW... what a long time. What brought him back so early?

He had a little extra cash in May because lots of people remembered his birthday. One of his friends (TJ) told him that he should make a quick trip home before the summer ministry started. TJ told him that he was always talking about his parents and his friends. It was obvious he missed us, and he should see us while he could. The bus ticket was only $104 round trip. He planned this in mid-May. I'm actually a little shocked that he kept the secret.

 

[chefann]

And what are you doing online here with us, Rae?!? You should be enjoying your son's company, since it's been so long since you saw him last.Go! We'll watch the fort here.

 

[raebates]

Uh, thanks Ann. I'm sure I could trust you. Actually he won't be home until late tonight. He's traveling around surprising friends. There's a big show tonight at a Christian youth club. He'll have a great time. I get him tomorrow. It will probably be mid-morning before he wakes up, but he'll be home for several hours after that. Trust me. I'll spend every moment I can with him.

Morning all!! Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.....actually hope you all will be working today to earn our freebies!! I know I'm hoping my first show of the month is a great one!
Have a great day, and I'll try to sneak in to see who is "winning"!


OH, and Rae, have a blast with your son!! I think that is the sweetest thing, how he surprised you!

 

[raebates]

Thanks, Amy. He's asleep on the couch right now. (Don't worry. He loves the couch. That's where he slept most of the last two years he was living here.)

 

[BethCooks4U]

Good afternoon everyone. You will be happy to know that I revived this thread once more. I SHOULD be doing a show right now but the host called yesterday (no emailed) and said that she had no guests for various reasons. Oh, well, she does have orders so it will be a catty show and she lives an hour away...

 

[pchefkristin]

Hello ladies... and gentlemen! Just wanted to pop in to say hello. Thinking of changing my name to Lobster lady. I am sun burnt to a crisp. Two days worth. I can tell you, kids sunscreen is better than none, but you have to be persistant with it. IF my team wasnt $1085 richer from our Cluster Conference Garage Sale, I might have thought the sun burn was for nothing! Heheheh. Yeah team!

 

[BethCooks4U]

We just got home from and end of season party for our community theatre group. Lots of fun!

I got a sunburn like that once... it blistered EVERYWHERE and hurt sooooo bad. I ended up wearing my bathing suit for about a week because I couldn't put on any other "unmentionables"... But if I had earned $1K+, I would have thought it was worth it as well! Great job!

 

[raebates]

Couldn't just let me win. Could ya?Sorry about your sunburn, Kristin. Hope you feel better soon.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Yeah, right!

 

[amy07]

Beth, you are a early riser, huh?

 

[BethCooks4U]

Late to bed early to rise and sometimes up in the middle of the night, rarely take a nap. I have got it covered!

ohhh, how do you do it. I LOVE my sleep, even if it is sporadic and often interrupted! Thank goodness for Lunesta!!

 

[katie0128]

Nothing to report - just checkin' in to make sure this thread keeps going!!!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Thanks! I was hoping someone would! You saved me the trouble.

 

[amy07]

Any SuggestionsFigured I'd put this out for the faithful instead of starting a a new thread since people are always checking in here. We have a problem at our house.....ANTS

We live in a verrrrryyyy rural area (we don't even have a stoplight! ). And every year about this time we get ants. That's in addition to the ladybug infestation 2x/year, as well as the wasps! Any suggestions for what to do to get rid of them? And yes, we've done the traps/sprays etc, but keep in mind I still have small (read: curious) children, so I try to limit the hard stuff if possible.
