Hi Gail,
It is good for the baby and it makes the mom and baby closer to each other. I bottled fed all of my kids so I missed that experience. I did not have enough milk to breast feed so did not get to even try.
It is funny that just those few month’s makes that much of a difference to me. Guess I am not aging well either. I am hardly a baby. It would be hard to spoil me. Ron does that already,lol That would be nice if he did. I would have my walk in tub and my kitchen aid and all those things that I really want out of life. Do not think any of that is going to happen unless I get the kitchen aide my self. I could always act like it is from him and that would make it better. No not really.
Those drawings were really cute. I cannot wait to see what color they have them in. I have really been into the color yellow here lately. They had that shirt with the flags on the front and I am wondering if they will all be on purses or if each color will be different. I always think of you when I see tops with butterflies on them. You must have every butterfly top that Quacker ever made. I cannot wait to get those tops. Do they look good when they are on? That is what is what worries me that they will not look good on me when I try them on. At least we will be able to wear them all year long. I am waiting to see if they come down in price like the pine cone shirt did .I do not know how they are doing that anymore. I do like the pine cone top though. It is nice an warm on these cold days and nights.
I hope that your sil gets better soon. That is terrible that her wrist has not healed completely yet. I hope that the results of these blood tests are okay this time around. She has really been going thru a lot here lately. Well at least she got her house sold and does not have to worry about that again.
When everyone is feeling better we will have a get together here and let her introduce her little one to the family. That way she will not have to go to so many houses to show her off. Not many of the family could go to her baby shower. They had it on a bad day and a lot of people had already made plans. So I will make a big pot of jambalaya and corn bread for everyone and that will be it. I will get some of the throw away bowls at Costco and that way will not have that many dishes to do.Besides that I do not have enough bowls for a lot of people. That would be a lot of dishes.
I am so glad that everyone is doing better at Jenny’s house. It would be nice if they were all done with this stuff for the winter. Poor Kendal got it worse then anyone else did. Your grand kids are so sweet, Piper is such a little character. I really like the all the dances that she did. It is funny how they can use their imagination and do almost anything. It would be nice to have that much imagination now. That will be funny to watch them on the same team. Hope that Piper and Lachlan are both really good players. It will be fun to just watch Piper.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Barbara,
That is funny. I do not think that I could do cart wheels when I was younger. We could do all kind of things that were adventurous and it did not bother us. Now if we walk down the stairs and do not fall it is an accomplishment. I do have to say since I have had all the shots in my hip that I am getting around a lot better. I have these pedals that they use at the doctors office and I pedal a lot. I think that has strengthen my legs a lot. So off and running again.lol
That seems so strange that you are getting all the ice and sleet there and we are not getting anything. It is supposed to happen in our area and not yours. Just be careful going out in this. This weather is really kind of crazy.
That is so great that Jerry is taking such good care of his mom. I guess she found out which of her sons cares about her the most. Not her money just her. He sure has been good to her. He is keeping his promise to his dad and I know that at first it was hard. You have a good man there.
I am so glad that Sarah got home okay. That must have been relief to you that Jerry did not have to go out and pick her up in this kind of weather. Do they give you any kind of idea when all of this is going to clear up? Hope that it will be soon.
Popcorn and ice cream is a good meal to me. That is better then having to cook anything. What kind of ice cream is it? Well really any kind would have been good to me.
Have a good night. Talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
Just go to the quacker social page and scroll down and you will find it. I always do that instead of going to the discussion page. It is easier to find things there. You do not have to click on all that stuff.
I did not think that your family would let you get away without having a party. You deserve to have one just like the rest of them. I am glad that they are going to do something for you. The cake sounds really good and glad that you are getting your fish from that restaurant. You are going to have a great day for your birthday. Do they have the wrong date on here for your birthday? I had to change mine because they had the wrong date on here for mine. Just went to my page and changed it there. They made a mistake on a few peoples birth dates. Guess it is hard to get that many right. I do not see how they keep things up on here.
We are not getting any snow here at all. They have not changed that yet. So we will wait and see what happens. Glad that you did not get the blizzard that they are getting in other places. That is hard to have to deal with. Hope that you had a good time with your friend when you went out to lunch. That is nice to have someone to be able to just go out to lunch with and not have to just go with family. It is nice to just get away for some girl talk.
It will be nice if you can go and get the boys to stay with you for awhile. I can imagine that you and Tillie really miss them. They probably really miss you also. You need to figure out away that you can see them more often. It is hard not being able to see the grands when you want to. It really makes you feel like you are missing something in your life. Then they come over and fight the whole time and then you cannot wait for them to go home.lol It does not sound like your two grand sons fight like ours do. They really have some battles when they are here. I guess it is because one is a boy and one is a girl.
Hum just eating hostess cupcakes all the time. That sounds like a plan. We would not have to worry about the price going up a certain time of the year. They pretty well stay the same price all the time. We eat a lot of fruit in the winter. It does go up some in the winter but not that much. I do not know why fruit is so expensive in the summer. When I go shopping I think that we will eat healthy. So we get chicken that is baked and broccoli frozen and brussel sprouts and different fruit. Then we go to the bakery and get cinnamon rolls and custard donuts. Even got a piece of bread pudding. Now is that healthy or what.lol So if you want a healthy menu just call me and i will help you with one.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.
Colleen
p.s. Hope that you have a lot of cookies made for the snow blower. You will need to keep it going.Hi Gail,
I graduated in 1968. I will be 66 in July so still have time to be 65. lol I did not know that Adele and I were so close in age. You are just a year older then we are so that is not that old. we are lucky that we are getting around and can still come on here and chat. Don’t know if that really makes anyone feel better but what else can we say.lol
I get on the main page and find where someone has posted. That way I do not have to scroll all the way down to find out. They have to do something to fix this. It is getting harder and harder to find where we are at on here. I very seldom go to the discussion page anymore. There are not that many new posts on there. Well at least I cannot find them.
It will be nice to just be able to sit and talk to her and maybe go out to lunch. It will depend on the baby and the weather. Ron is wanting to go up there and see the baby also. She is such a little cutie. I could just bring her home with me but she is being breast fed so that would be kind of hard. lol There is something to be said about bottle feeding the baby. People can take the baby and take care of her for you. Kids just do not listen to us.
I have not been watching as much either. (qvc) They do not have that many things on there that interest me. I do watch the Quacker shows and the food shows. That is about it. I ordered my tops from qvc and they are already on their way here. Have you gotten yours yet? I hope that I like them in person as I did on tv. That does not happen that much with the Quacker stuff though.
I am sorry to hear about Greg’s knee. That must be painful to have a foot and a knee that hurts. Hope that they get better soon. There are days that we feel like we are falling apart. That must be the day for Greg. How is your ankle doing? How is your sil? Are they still doing the blood tests on her? I hope that she is okay now.
My mom is doing so good now. It is hard to believe that they gave her a walker to get around with. She is getting around better then she did before. I guess with them doing therapy with her they did a lot to make her legs stronger.
How did Kendall do when she went back to school after being sick? Hope that she did okay. Sounds like she is the only one that came down with the scarlet fever and strep. The poor little girl. Hope that all three of the kids are doing fine.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
With you not wanting to have a party I thought that maybe they will surprise you with one. They will do all the cooking and you can just sit and watch them do it all.It is your turn to have a meal cooked for you. You deserve it.
We are the same age. I will turn 66 in July. It does not seem possible though. Just think if we did not have anymore birthdays we would not have all of our grandchildren. We would not want to miss all of that. I just figure that we cannot change things so we might as well be happy with our age. We none of us will ever be able to have all the face lifts and getting everything else lifted. So we will be the age we are and be happy and sparkle and shine.
Everybody has been doing fine here. I do not call Danyielle that much because of the baby. Do not want to wake her up or disturb her if she is feeding her. It is hard the first month they are home. They get up so many times during the night.
That must have really hurt Tillie when Steph was mad and would not come over. I am glad for both of you that it is all over with and she will come and bring the kids. It is nice that they came to get Aizen’s birthday gifts. Poor Bobby. You gave away the cookies. That must have made things really hard on him. lol It is hard to be a cookie monster when there is little kids around that love cookies also.That is funny that the snow blower works on chocolate cookies. Bobby is funny. Your chicken sounds really good. We still do not have fresh green beans in our stores. Will be glad when they have them again. They are so much better then the can or the frozen. We were going to get some cauliflower the other day but it was so expensive so we passed on that one. I like to steam fresh veggies. They taste so good.
It may be better off pushing it off instead of worrying about you being able to get to the hospital to pick him up. He just worries about you Adele and that is so nice. You two make a good couple.It will not be too long and the weather will be nice and he will get it done. I am sure that if it gets too bad he will go and get it done sooner.
I hope that the x-rays of Gary’s kidney was okay Has he been having any more problems? I hope that he brought you and Tillie some fish home from that restaurant. That would be really nice. I hope that you had a nice dinner out with you friend. I feel like you do at this stage of the game I will park where ever it is easier for me to get in and out. If it happens to be in front of the door that so be it. They should keep the parking lot cleared for their costumers.
Well that is about all from here. have a good night.
ColleenHI Gail,
We have not heard that we are getting the blizzard snows. I guess that Sue is going to get it she posted on here for everyone to be safe. Sometimes it will snow a lot in St. Louis but we will not get any. Then sometimes it is the other way around. Our road is still slick from the sleet that we had. It melted some yesterday and then refroze today. This is a mess. The schools are still out here. There are not many kids that live in towns around here they all live on country roads. The towns around here a small.
It will be a mad house at her house for then next few days also. Her friends that have kids will come over the week-end and so will Melissa. She had to wait for Ethan to be out of school and be able to come up there. So with all of them there it will be a mess. Kevin took vacation time to stay at home with her also. So it will all be hectic there until next week. Besides i want to have the baby all to myself and be able to hold her as long as I want to. I do not want to share.
I wear my snow man shirt even though one of the snowmen has a Santa hat on. They are snow men and it is still winter. I also have the jeans with the snow flake on the leg. So they just go together. I will wear that fleece top all winter also. It is so warm and do not want to put it away for next Christmas. Did you watch the Chics Night in the other night. It was okay but they did not have anything that I felt like I really needed. I like watching that show because they seen to have a good time doing that. They are not as formal as they are on the regular qvc. They seem to have more fun.
I agree with you on the walk in tub. It is not as wide as a regular tub but the jets are beneficial to someone that has problems with their back and hips. Now if I could get my back doc to agree with you then he may be able to talk Ron into it. He listens to what ever that guy says. I will also tell him that you recommended it. That will make him think about it. lol He will probably want to know if I am complaining about that on here to everybody. He is so strange at times.lol
You are lucky that the storm is not coming your way. I think that Adele said it was not going to hit there either. Maybe we will all luck out and not get that storm. Poor Sue she is going to get it though. Maybe it will miss her also.
Well that is about all from here. have a good night.
ColleenHi Sue,
Be careful shoveling all that snow. You do not need to fall. Your vegetable soup sounds good. That is a good idea to stay home and stay safe. Hope that by Monday it will all be cleared up and you will be able to get around. Will be thinking of you and hoping you do not lose electricity. You do not need that.
Take care
ColleenHi Barbara,
I am lucky we do not have any dil. We just had the girls. So the husbands are different though. We get along with them but if they step out of line with my girls there is trouble. They do not get along with me. We have a pretty good relationship with our sil right now though. If they do not like us they keep it to themselves. That is nice because I do not want to know.
Sarah may change a lot after the baby is born. That seems to change all of us. It will be so much fun when you see your grand child for the first time. You should have gone ahead and bought the outfit with the kisses on it for the baby. It may have made Sarah happy to know that you were that excited about the baby. It is hard to know what another person is thinking. Sometimes we just have to do what is best for us and hope that the other person accepts us. If you feel good buying the baby something do it.
It is really cold here now also. IT was under 10 degrees for a couple of days but has warmed up a little was almost 30 today. That is sad when we think that 30 is getting warm. We are supposed to have more snow this week if they do not change it. They do change a lot. The baby will not be able to go out as much right now. It is just too cold.
You have such good sons. It was nice that Neal told you all of that. I am sorry to hear that Lisa and Joey are not happy. This has been a rough time for both of them. Hopefully they will figure all of this out and be happy again. I know it must be hard to watch. Who ever said that is gets easier when the kids got older had no idea what they were talking about. You worry about them more then what you did when they were home. It is hard to accept their decisions sometimes.
I would like to have your recipe for chicken and dumplings. They sound really good. I roll mine out sometimes when we do not have the frozen ones. They are much better fresh like that. Ron’s sister uses those soft shell tacos to make her dumplings with. I do not really like that like that. They really have a different taste. They are tortillas. What ever they are called I do not like them that much.
You can vent on here any time that you feel you need to. We all vent on here. It is nice to talk to people that are going thru a lot of things that we are. I do not think that there is one of us that is not having some type of problem with our kids. Or as my mom use to say all the drama of our kids lives. lol She turned out to be a lot smarter then we thought she was when we were young. It is funny how that happens.
Well that is about all from here. Hang in there my friend. Things will get better.
ColleenHi Adele,
There is never a dull moment at your house. I am glad that Steph and Johnny came over and spent some time with you. It is a shame that Steph cannot get over being mad at her mom. Kids never really grow up as far as we are concerned. Hopefully she will change and everyone will get together. That is not right that they are not giving you a birthday party. You cook for all of them and they should do the same for you. It may be nice to just enjoy the peace and quite for a day. That would be nice.
We did not bother Danyielle and her family today. She came home today and they had to get all settled in and everything. So we thought that they needed that time to themselves. Kevin took some time off work to help her with the baby. So after he goes back to work we may go over and spend some time with her and the baby. She will have so much company this week-end and the baby will be passed around so much that she will be really tired. One day next day next week we will go over there and cuddle with that baby and no one else will be there.
I can understand why he changed it. That is horrible that he is in so much pain. Hope that the time goes quickly for him and they get that taken care of. It is hard to drive on snow and ice. We had snow yesterday and this morning. The roads were really bad here. So we only went out once today and then stayed home. Our road is one of the last to get cleared. There will not be any school here tomorrow again. The roads will refreeze and then we will not be able to get anywhere. Poor Gail with all the snow. That is not good that they are getting that storm. I have not been following this one. I just figure that if we get it, there is nothing we can do about it. So will go to the store tomorrow and pick up a few more things just in case.
On the Chew today they said that Clinton will be back Feb. 3rd. It will be fun for him to be back but I hope that they keep taking turns being the spokesperson. It is fun to see all of them doing the talking. He really took a long time off this time. I guess he went over seas on his vacation. He will have a lot to talk about when he gets back.
I hope that this post made sense It is the middle of the night and I am half asleep. Glad that you got to see Aizen maybe you will get to see JJ soon.
Have a good night.
