I raised my deductibles from 100 bucks to $1000. Saved me almost a thousand a year. Insurance companies want to get away from low deductibles according to my agent.

In other news:
Strep throat has reared its ugly head here with my kids. I better not get it.


[/b][/quote]
I know you know 'cause you're a mom,but be sure to treat that Strep until it's GONE! It can lead to other problems down the road.

 

The boy has it as of last night. He is a PITA when he gets sick- He's the one who vomited in the mustang. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img] and set me down the road to the lost spinner.

I do not want it- Its my most unfavorite sickness. Flu is my winter ill of choice. (You get to sleep all day, and night and people take care of you)


What a frickin week- its back in the 60s! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

And the fricking dog ate my valentines cake- I went to pick my daughter up from her dance, the boy went to sleep sick, the dog stayed uncrated, Brian went to his office. Dog left alone thinks---mmmmmm cake. Red velvet heart shaped one too, I made it just for my boys. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nonono.gif[/img]

 

You need a Nanny !

 

no- no I don't. I very much like doing what I do.

Course now I feel the disease coming along. Soooooo I am not too happy about that, I am kind of busy right now to be sick.

 

Sorry about the cake,red velvet is such a good one! Mom makes 'em from scratch,I make 'em from a box! Kroger's Grocery store makes an OK one. Had to be one happy dog until you came home and saw what he had done! How long until that fence is up?!

 

a month or so..

Now the frigger has a sweet tooth- My mother came to bring the kids some stuff, he wanted the cookies badly.

I only like Birthday cake, and only the kind with sugar frosting from a bakery.


It is soooooooooo freaking nice outside today. Too bad I am stuck inside playing nurse. Plus I was asked if I could PLEASE get out of my sweats for a day or so.(men!)

 

2 local (Houston) weather guys say 80, 1 said 79 for the high today. It is so humid I'm tempted to turn on A/C. Weekend should be 50s high,40s low. And 30% chance of rain Sat and Sun. So-A/C one day, heat the day after!

 

TODAY IS A PERFECT DAYYYYYYYYYYYY [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

 

rewind....Tuesday, beautiful, had a high of 60, had the grill out at 8:00 at night grillin chicken, dressed in a hoodie and jeans.( yes that was my attire, not the chickens..you wiseguys :] ) Today....snow, hail,rain, thunderstorms with severe lightning, tornado watch just south of me, freezing rain this afternoon. Now...windier that heck, powers flickerin because everything that was wet is now freezin up, and the predicted highs this weekend are the teens, with lows below zero....got to love this midwest weather

 

OK,you win! Humidity wasn't THAT bad! Did use A/C though.

 

I am just happy I could turn off my heat [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

 

April,
Make sure the dog does not get a hold of any chocolate. Cake, etc. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img]

It is a poison to them. You want need the fence, just a shovel. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img]

Just call Hope animal clinic on morgan road in Bessemer/Helena and ask about the dangers.

Neighbor lost their dog of 8 years to some chocolate valentines day candy left unattended on the coffee table while they were at work.

Not as fast as anti-freeze injestion, but just as deadly.

TDS

 

He's fine and stupid as ever- Of course he probably came to me brain damaged because he hit the windshield the day I got him, [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img] The cake was not chocolate, and he just got into the frosting anyhow.
My other idiot dog is too small to reach anything- If I was a celeb- I could carry him around in my arms.


WTF is going on? We went from the perfect day yesterday to the threat of an ice storm tomorrow. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

 

Remeber April, we live in Alabama. The only state in the whole union to have a tornado one day and snow the next@ Tuscaloosa 3? years ago.


god must really have it in for us down here. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

TDS

 

Then again- todays an odd one.
It smells of snow, but its too warm.

No- we have Tornadoes because god doesn't like trailer parks. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

Freezing rain- brrrrr.
I drug out the space heater and turned down the gas.

I want veggie soup and cornbread- but the kids are at my parents and my yankee won't eat vegatables.

 

I am freezing my [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif[/img] off.
AND I finally have a date night tonight with no kids....
Check this out, guaranteed fun.

I wish I was there I like the cold 75-80 % of the time, I grew up in it and miss it ! keeps you healthier.

 

I think the weathermen should have to go on the news and publicly admit they were wrong. When they usually are.

It quit raining here by 4. True it was cold as a witches [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif[/img] but no ice storm.

This morning- Nothing....Just miserable cold.


I am MORE than ready for springtime.

 

We had snow yesterday, still have snow on the ground, our high was in the low 20's, and we're getting snow again tonight... Our high today is 30. And I enjoy it.

Amazing what 215 miles to the north will do.
