Seems a bit late for a daily thread start but thought I would do it anyways. Whats going on out there today? Where is Moore these days? I know she most likely told us so blame my pregnancy brain. I seem to recall something involving her doll club but maybe that was another weekend.
Jojo how are things going with Jackson. How did his meeting go? I hope/pray that things can be resolved soon for you. At least resolved enough for him to be able to go back to school.
Not much going on here, another boring day at work. Made an appt for the next ultra sound. Hopefully by Wednesday afternoon we will know what these little guys are. I posted the last 2 ultra sounds in the Saturday thread. I guess we will likely be having US's like every 2-3 weeks. So I will have lots to post.
I don't know where Moore is either! She did have a doll club deadline coming, so it must be what has kept hr too busy to stop by. I hope that's all it is and not something unpleasant.
Shelly, love looking at the US pictures! I think I'm as anxious as you are to know who the little ones are. Now if they would just co-operate next time they're photoed, lol.
We had a crazy busy day yesterday and then I couldn't sleep until after 2 a.m. I had so much adrenaline in my system from tea late in the afternoon and an unexpected visitor from 3 till 7, my parents both over for dinner and baby sitting earlier in the day. I really can't baby sit the little ones AND my parents in the same day and get through it unscathed. I'm okay now but this morning was really rocky.
Jojo, how are things this week? Is Jackson back at the kids' club after school yet? And Jess, have you made any progress with the home front story?
I was just off in mental la-la land for a few days. Jim and I got word last week that NC-daughter lost her job. We've felt this one coming for a long time, and it's kept us up at night. Now it's really happened, and of course this is not the best time for her to find a new job when everyone else is looking for work too. I think I told you that several of her co-workers were let go several months ago, and that she dodged the bullet at the time, but we felt that her position was precarious.
She hasn't filled us in on her plans yet, and we're trying to give her some space right now. Anyway, I've been moping a lot, and decided to dig into some genealogy research because it distracts me for hours at a time.
Thankfully, I actually don't have too much to produce for the doll club right now, although I'll have a deadline the first of April. I'm glad it's not an immediate one because I seriously doubt that I could focus much on any creative project.
Damn.

Oh no, Moore. So sorry to hear about NC daughter's job loss. It's happening everywhere up here now too. Anyone who has a job that is in an industry that depends upon the economy (and so few do not) is looking over their shoulders every day. It's getting really tense. Thank goodness NC daughter is young and has a family to fall back on if things get really tough. We have already told Nick that he is not to hesitate to ask us for help if he should fall upon the same fate as so many others out west.
Let us know what's next in store for her, and please send her my best wishes for good luck in finding that replacement job.
I am so sad to hear about NC-D's job loss. What a horrible thing to happen at this time. So scary. Please do keep us posted on how things go from here...I will add her to my nightly prayer list. Am happy you checked in to let us know what was going on.
Moore, I'm so sorry to hear about NC daughter. I hope she can find something else soon. Many hugs.
Things are going okay here. Jackson is not in the after school club yet, and they were supposed to call me back last week with his return date, but they didn't. I'll have to give them a call Monday, because if I am remembering correctly, that will be one month. Hopefully he can go back Tuesday He won't be riding the bus over there though, because we think the bus rides agitate him, so I'll be going everday to pick him up from school at 3:30 to take him over there. We had a meeting with the school, and he seems to be doing a bit better. I'm making sure he gets more sleep at night, and we're also working hard on following through with discipline so he doesn't think he can get away with everything. That one is my fault. It's so much easier sometimes to just give in. Also, the school district is paying for him to visit a childrens neuro psych specialist in Billings, MT, so that's a blessing and we'll see what she says after our visit. That will be in March. I'll be sure to keep you all posted.
