Ok, who wants to hold my hand while I have my bloodwork done today? After all these years it still sends me into a panic attack and then my veins run and hide and then the inevitable oh oh I am going to pass out. I actually think I stress the techs out more than myself LOL. They should invent a laser instrument that just zaps your blood into a tube.

Since I am the same, I would not be much use lol

Only 40? I once went to my local WM at 130am thinking it would be dead....oh boy lol it was packed

If there was ever less than 40 ppl in my local WM I would fall over in shock

My DD is on a kick of saying "Bum Cakes". It's completely my fault though. I got frustrated at DH and made the mistake of saying "oh for F*** sakes". DD copied by saying "oh bum cakes" and I couldn't help but laugh. So, she's on a kick of saying it. I'm just hoping no one figures out where it came from.

She's turning 4 in a few weeks. She does have a speech delay though. We're really working on pronouncing F's, S's and R's (instead of the W sound).

DS has that problem - started talking at 2 - he used to have problems with "S" but now its only "L" so Lion is Wion... but ever since he started school last year, his pronunciation has improved and now he says L fine if its in the middle of a word, but not if it begins a word.

I'm waiting for my order from Old Navy to come. Yesterday i received 1 out of the 20 items i ordered - the other 19 are going to be shipped seperately.

DD also started talking around 2, but not as many words as she should have. She's done almost 2 years of speech therapy and now she's at almost a 5 year old's level of understanding etc. She's around her actual age for speaking but she still has issues (mostly the pronouncing of words).

I'm hoping when she starts kindergarten in January it'll boost her up. She goes to preschool Tues & Thursdays so bumping up to everyday will hopefully help provide some incentive.

I hate when they ship seperately. I always want everything as soon as 1 thing arrives. lol

I did my Shutterfly order yesterday. Should be here by the 17th!

Even with 3 promo codes for "free" calendars from GTG, it still cost over $40 for 4 calendars. (1 x $22 and 4 x $5.99 S&H).

But I know the grandparents will love them! Can't wait for them to arrive!

I need to find a new food to serve at DD's party.

I made some of the "Pluto's Party Popcorn" last night to try the recipe and it's defininitely NOT kid friendly. Very sticky.

Not many 6 kids, 3 babies. All family (or extended family). We didn't invite any of the preschool kids because the ones she was close to moved on to Kindergarten this past September. And since she's leaving the centre next month it seemed weird to invite the "new" kids.

One of her best friends that moved on apparently goes to our Church though. She goes to the 9am mass while DH usually brings the kids to the 10:30 mass. We were up early so DH took them early this week and she had a ball with her friend so we're going to start going to the 9am mass now. I'm also going to talk to the other girls mother and invite her to the party and maybe set up playdates for them.
