OH MAN, Tammy! Those brownies are soo good, I only wish I had some inthe oven right now....but alas, I am stuck packing for our vacation - we are leaving tomorrow morning for WI, my Grandparents' cabin on the lake. Cj's first trip to the lake , i hope she has fun.

DH is trying to feed her a bottle, she hasn't been eating worth a hoot today, not nursing or bottle or solids....dunno if it is teething or an attitude problem, or what?! She has alos been Miss Whiney Pants most of the day, and has only taken 3 very short cat-naps, only 20-30 minutes each

We are stopping in my hometown on the way to WI tomorrow to pick up my Step Momshe is riding up with us, and then Dad will come on Friday....he has to work still - the joys of owning your own business

Oh - her new trick of the day (seems like it is something new each day now) is that she will stand holding on to DH....without DH holding onto her!!!!

Well, I better get packing....literally.

We will be leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow girls, and I won't be back till Sunday night and probably won't sign on again till Monday.....Hope you all have a great 4th of July + Weekend - esp Judith - Happy Anniversary!!!

Jess

Judith - Have a great Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has a fun 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Judith I am okay. Hanging in there. Had a tough week....

Riley had more blood work Monday and we found out our dog has diabetes. Have had to start him on Insulin shots. Just seems to ALWAYS be one thing after another. Just when I think there can't possible be anything else there always seems to be a new trial to go through. But all in all we are good.

I have been to EVERY store in this town and the next to find a bathing suit and I have waited too late. There is either a top and no bottom or a bottom and no top. I have NO CLUE what to do? I found two I liked of all places...Target and they had the bottom of one and the top of the other so I thought hey no biggie I will order online and rush deliver them....They were out of stock there too....UGHHHHHHHHH CAN ANYTHING GO MY WAY PLEASE??????????????????????? Not so much.

On top of all that some stupid person in my neighborhood has shot of fireworks EVERYNIGHT this week starting at 8:30 and they are still going right now. They are so loud and I jump everytime they go off....So i figure no sense in trying to sleep. Geez I guess the grand show will last until midnight tomorrow night?

Oh and the best part...I got AF while still nrsing full time??????

So there you have it the Karen VENT!

Robin- Thank you!!

Karen- HUGS. I'm so sorry about your week. How is Jackson doing with the injections? Do you have a shop in the mall that sells nothing but swimsuits year round? I forget what it is called here. I bet they would still have stuff left. Where are you going on vacation?

karen - have you tried any specialty bra stores? i've gotten my bathing suits for the past five years a store that sells bra's and other under garments they also have them all year round. sorry about your week...you are definitely a strong woman that will get thru this. give jackson a pet for me

Thanks Everyone! I hope it is a nice and fun trip and that we have good weather, too.....seems every time I go up there it is either cold or rainy or both Maybe CJ will be my lucky charm and break the weather curse.

Karen - you deserve to have a rant....sorry about the doggy diabetes, but at least there is treatment and you don't have to put him down or anything like that! I understand about the swimsuits - CJ as more of them than I do....I haven't even tried on any of mine...I have one maternity tankini, and two that I bough when I was 6 weeks pregnant and just bloated in a size 16 or something....hopefully at least one will fit.

If I had the time or $ to spend, I would probably buy one here:

They have lots of styles and they are meant to be figure flattering, and you can get customized suits.

Happy 4th of July everyone!!



Also I have a neat idea for a new thread but you all are going to have to wait a bit until I can take some notes and look up some pictures etc

__________________

Girls,
What do you think about making the picture thread monthly? That way it would be easy to keep track of and go back and compare. . .unless there is some easier way of tracking down something in a thread with so many pages?

Just a thought. . .
