Merme

hi everyone,

how s you all doing ? here it pouring cats and dogs and it s 15 degrees so keith s taking a nap and up to 2 minutes ago my head was stuck on the window listening to the rain(just llloooove it ) and admiring my garden, daydreaming as usual...: )

hey... lol... i thought i would read from page one while i was waiting for you girls so i started...hahah... and before i went any further i JUST HAD TO ASK...hahah...............UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! ...................Sheri s expecting A WHAT ????!!!!!....hahahaha

so apparently Sheri you ve got a new nickname.....POP N FRESH.....

OMG, Frannie! I love that!


"Pop N Fresh!"






Merme

Sheri isnt expecting.
She is ejecting??????????

Powers of a nurse.........

Oh oh. Sheri is here!

Junior looks just like me.

I think maybe, Junette?

I think you're right Tina. Junette. I'm glad I finally have something to do with all these lice I've got crawling around.

I love a man with good taste in clothes.

the good thing about being an Alien Mama is that the Mama's age goes backwards so I'm a teenager now too. DeNial and I are the same age right now.


Here I am today.

I am so glad to see all is well in alien/lice/ birth/ teenhood/ land/...
Today is our Joseph's birthday...he is 15 and wants to go to a wings resturant with his girlfriend and best friend along... so guess thats what we are doing...
It's going to be a wonderful and sunny day here today- high is 82* ... Joe got our fans out of the attic yesterday so we won't get hot in here- got a couple doors open already for fresh air coming in- so nice!
Coffee is on and have a big platter of all kinds of muffins and breakfast sandwiches too- juice is in the fridge .... and the tea pot is under the cozy- help yourselves to a snack or breakfast ... brunch- going out to read the paper on the swing in the backyard...... birds are singing and it's good for my soul.
Nana

That does sound so good for you, Nana. I have no huge plans for my day. A little errand running but nothing major here. It is too hot to be out if you don't need to be. Upper 90's with some humidity doesn't feel too good

Tina, I'm glad you don't have anything "major" to do today. (always love seeing my name in print). It's that hot already???

All I can say about this CH is...
(I think I just wet myself)

we got a little crazy didn't we.

Hope you don't get diaper rash.

Hi everybody!

Well, whatever else happened, you can't blame me for any of it! I didn't start any rumors, really I didn't!


Maxi and I had a fun day today. He is getting ready to leave now.


Merme

We have had 'major' heat here, Sheri. Some triple digit days and broken records. i am still hoping for our June gloom that is normal for us in the first part of the month. It is always a fond memory over the next three months of heat

I lived in CA when I was little but I don't remember the awful heat. We went to the beach every day though. The heat doesn't bother children like the adults I guess.

Hope you rested today Tina.

there is not nearly the heat at any of Ca beach towns that we get inland, Sheri. You wouldn't remember it because it wasn't

where do you live?



I just read somewhere about the dumpster. It IS funny.

it is funny, Sheri
And I want to thank you for seeing the humor. John is laughing somewhere.

I have got to break down and buy me some new garden gloves. I wear the leather kind, usually, and the right hand on all my gloves has a hole in the index finger. It seems when I buy a new pair I end up giving them away.

Do you guys have an Applebees restaurant? We got take out tonight and it was horrible. First our order wasn't right and second the steaks were so tough I couldn't even cut mine. We got ribeyes.

I've been to Applebee's twice, Sheri, and didn't like it either time. I wouldn't go again!

Maxi left at 7 and my house dropped into that kid-absent silence I deplore.

I just don't like anything about him not being here.

I especially LIKE it when he is dancing to his ipod so I can't hear the music but see the effects!


Merme

Dancing is fine. But singing along with an ipod is disturbing to the listener.

Oh, I like it when Maxi sings along to his ipod, Tina. He usually sings harmony, so all I hear is (mostly) the alto line.... and alot of broken lyrics because he rarely sings all the words. Sometimes I recognize the song he is harmonizing to; quite often, I do not! I think "what IS he singing?" and once in a while I'll ask. He'll tell me or put the headphone to my ear. It's all pretty amusing, really.

Since I've always played instruments that carried the melody, I automatically search for the melody in my head when I'm listening to straight harmony. If it is a song I don't know, I'm trying out various intervals on a likely path above whatever he is doing. Most of the time, the genre's Maxi picks are not my forte and so I'm lost!

Cheeky kid to listen to other types of music than Mama does!



But today he did sit in and listen to a bunch of Beach Boys tunes with me. YAY!



Merme

OH Tina,
the other day Nicoli had his Mom's ipod on and was singing away to it... in a monotone and I couldn't understand a word he sang- but he gave it his all... if he doesn't see you watching he dances too- funniest thing- he is 4 and small for his age to boot and to see him with it in his hand and headset on- he is so cute... will try for a pic if I can catch him without his seeing me do it.
We had a good time at the wings place... the host who sat us kind of went "huh" when we said tables for 10 but he recovered nicely- we brought some home for Mom and she is happily eating it now and watching Mash on her tv... I think I will go outdooors for awhile with hubby untill it's time for Desperate Housewives.... I just realized I don't have a kitchen to clean up tonit- Yay!
Nana

That Nicoli sounds so adorable, Sherri!

I'm glad the Wings place turned out well for you all. And isn't it nice to not have a kitchen to clean?!

Merme

Ok, It was cute while Jonni was little. And when my other kids were younger with their walkmans. But when Jonni started listening to music I wouldn't allow played out loud in my home (language and content), it was no longer as cute.

Joanni
It is even harder today to control what kids listen to.. Then they trade with each other when at school and visiting places?You never know what.

How old are your kids now?

Nighty night, everybody! I'm off to bed early tonight.


Safe away home, O my palies, and sweet dreams to you all.



Merme

Good morning, everybody!

Coffee is fresh and I'm sure Nana must have some muffins and whatnot around here somewhere.... she usually has the Cyber Zero Calorie variety stashed.

Merme

Good Morning all,
Yes got some muffins and breakfast burritos here... and lots of salsa too... I slept with windows open last night it's really warm here and we had to get the all the fans out yesterday... supposed to be 92 today.... kids will want to get the pool out!
Well off to get breakfast for Mom and then get busy with my day- laundry and the vacuum .. some dusting ... don't get boys till late today- Carrie is closing- need to cook some stuff up too..... always something to keep me busy.
Nana

You are busy, Nana. I wish I had your drive.
I am up and had my coffee. I am on my way out the door for phase one of my day.

hope things go as well as possible Tina.

Me too. I look forward to the end of today.

Okay took a break- decided to really clean Mom's room,that led to the laundry/bath.. which is next to family room- so am in here now and ready to clean it up good... then will hit the kitchen and do the cooking I need to do... that will get dinner done for tonight and at least 3 more meals for us... I have 2 of the boys now too - they are playing WII and so far staying out of the way... got a bunch of laundry donen to while I was at it too.. got about 4 more loads to do now....

I have a gal of sun tea brewing too- just sounded really good to me... wamt some--- ?
