Any of the ole fun moms still around?

<p>Where are my gals these days?</p>

<p>Nurseypoo? Profmom? Atrmom? jamzmom? JMWrites? Spidermom?</p>

<p>I'm here! I was just thinking about you and Lola yesterday! How's life going?</p>

<p>I know I'm old, and I know I'm a mom, but I must not be fun. :(</p>

<p>I think I'll go eat some worms...</p>

<p>but I'll wash them down with Merlot! </p>

<p>atrmom - were you at FPW? The weather was glorious! I am seriously stressing about commissioning week. We didn't think anyone would come, and now we are scrambling! Yikes! Who knew so many people would want to travel from Alaska to DC! Let me know if you have any tips up your sleeve.</p>

<p>Teresa</p>

<p>I'm back from a fun weekend in Annapolis and Ocean City MD. Good fun had by all.</p>

<p>Mom2lola, still here my friend. Was having a good time in Memphis since last Thursday. Had to go find the perfect ribs & blues. Found 'em! :D</p>

<p>momof1 is not old despite her worm eating. I'll join in on the merlot bit but not the worm thing. :) Do they have worms in Alaska?</p>

<p>Where the heck is Spidermom? She's being missed. :(
You-hooooooo, where r u? & Nursey too. I thought I passed Momoftwins somewhere along the way. </p>

<p>How you gals holding up??</p>

<p>I'm off to TX next week to find Bill. Its for his own good. Gonna rip that Grinch hair off his back with a good waxing. :D</p>

<p>I've been WAY out-grinched on this thread in the last year. But, if as promised, you are reasonable substitute for Grandma Rebecca DeMornay--or at least for the one she plays on HBO--I'm on for you ripping anything you want off my back . . . off my chest . . . off my legs . . . or anywhere else you want. Wax or not!</p>

<p>Ok. Who's out there promising stuff like that? I know people who can hide the body. :D</p>

<p>Hi Teresa! Yep, we were at FPW and like you, we're dealing with a sudden influx of family, only ours are coming from Texas! I ended up renting a little house for my husband and daughter right outside Gate 1 and got hotel rooms for the night before graduation for my parents and brother's family (Holiday Inn Express is the only hotel without a minimum stay) and then sent my Texas cousin the links for renting houses. I figured if they want to come, they'd probably should be the ones to find their own place. </p>

<p>Now I have to figure out what to do with all these people after the ceremony! S has a rehearsal dinner to go to on Friday night and the first of many weddings on Saturday!!! </p>

<p>I can't believe it's only 7 months until Commissioning. </p>

<p>Do you know when they'll find out their Service Selection???</p>

<p>Don't forget....Navy vs Pitt tonight on ESPN...plus today's the Naval Academy's 162th birthday! </p>

<p>Jen</p>

<p>Well.. I have missed my girls on here! Its just not like is used to be and missed you all. wanted to see if you all were around.</p>

<p>Atrmom.. Lola is good as can be expected for a female plebe at USNA. But did come through with 4 As, 2 Bs. She had to have a root canal yesterday and then they sent her to class! AWFUL! Whats new with your kiddo? </p>

<p>Profmom.. Email me allll about your trip! Would love to hear about it. Cant believe the game is tonight.. That messes up my schedule! HA</p>

<p>Jamzmom... Where did you eat in memphis? and you are making me hungry for BBQ</p>

<p>Momof1.. Sorry to have left you out :) Hows AK?</p>

<p>No sighting of Nurseypoo or Spidermom I guess :(</p>

<p>I don't know what happened to Spidermom. I can't even get a reply out of her via personal email. I hope she is okay.</p>

<p>We are off to USMA Plebe Parent Weekend tonight! I'll be back Tuesday with stories.</p>

<p>I know I'm not one of the fun moms but there is nothing too fun going on!
My mid just works all of the time and there are no girls to be found.....a true cynic now...
My daughter (an ensign now in dental school) claims daily that she hates her life.... and the only happy one is my high school son. He actually still has a life for a little while.</p>

<p>I'm here, I'm here. I haven't been lurking for a while. Sorry. Been working my buns off and finding house damage left over from when oldest boy was at home and got into mischief with youngest boy. Want to squeeze hands around necks (plural). It's hard to make a 3000 mile booty-chew as effective as when they were at home (I still have smoke coming out of my ears!!). </p>

<p>In reference to Spidermom, there was one kid in his platoon that stated he wasn't there. I think something happened right before the first phone call. </p>

<p>Anyhoo, what's the subject for this thread?</p>

<p>Jamzmom is still smart talking on the USMMA thread. I'm just watching the posts trying to think of something clever and fun to say....but that has eluded me for a few weeks :D</p>

<p>M2L, sorry about Lola's root canal...ouch!! I hope she's feeling better. </p>

<p>Boy should be finding out in a month or so what the Navy has in store for him..it's hard to believe he's already at this point and that graduation's only 7 short months away.</p>

<p>LOOK! ALL THE MOMS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! SO GLAD YOU ALL ARE ALIVE AND WELL! </p>

<p>I have missed you girls! Now tell me something good! Who has big plans for Turkey Day? Whats the scoop?</p>

<p>Lola's Mom, where else but The Rendezvous! Awesome place. Sorry to hear about the root canal. Uggg. </p>

<p>suzannegra, I'm still working on that whole beach thing. You're in right? :D</p>

<p>Can't believe that atrmom has graduation in sight. The big golden ring! The reason for living! The perfect ending! ect. ect. Wishing it were me planning for it. I seriously cannot wait. I will cherish any descriptive words you throw our way about this outstanding event. Please share.</p>

<p>Ladies,</p>

<p>Those of us who have Firsties are gearing up for service selection. Cross those fingers and toes! :) Jen, from what I have heard it is scheduled for Nov. 15. I am going to need more Lady Clairol before this is all over!</p>

<p>Yes, we have worms here in Alaska. One of them works down the hall from from me. Oh, earthworms. Yes, and they are probably good and frozen by now, since it was 2 below yesterday. </p>

<p>I can't wait for commissioning, yet I am trying to really savor this last year. He found out yesterday that he has yet another round of physicals next week. There is always another hoop to jump through. </p>

<p>Additionally, anyone who can go to FPW should certainly take part. We had such an excellent time! Take care, I gotta go and put all the summer stuff to bed before the snow gets too deep!</p>

<p>Teresa</p>

<p>I JUST GOT THE BIGGEST NEWS----my daughter just got engaged last night to her sweetie, an 06 grad.......!!!!!!!She is so happy and in love!!! The good news for my Youngster son is that at some point, he will be able to get permission to leave the Academy to come home for the Wedding....
I guess my daughter is loving life now even w/ dental school...!!!!</p>

<p>Whoo Hoo! Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!! That is awesome!! Many blessings to them! When's the event?</p>

<p>After he finishes Nuke School!! Her ring is the most gorgeous thing ever....</p>
