View Full Version : you coming to the mno this week? LMS 07-10-2006, 03:04 PM you coming to the mno this week? daisydoc 07-10-2006, 05:46 PM If everything goes well this week I'll be there with Jazper! justamom 07-11-2006, 04:17 AM I just signed up to sell my Photo Throws at the Cotati Farmers Market every Thursday thru September. Maybe I can catch the next one! Stop by and see me after you ladies are done with your Mexican Delights. The Cotati Farmers Market is at La Plaza Park in Cotati. Have fun ladies!:p lmfike 07-11-2006, 06:34 PM Change of plans. I won't be able to make it now. My dad will be down for the afternoon and is taking us to dinner. LMS 07-11-2006, 06:37 PM awe, sorry you can't come lorrie :( lmfike 07-11-2006, 06:44 PM So am I. But Dad hasn't been able to come down as often as he used since he married wife #3. She has been having back problems since they got married in April. daisydoc 07-11-2006, 10:09 PM We'll miss you Lorrie! I mailed you a catalog today! Have a good visit with your dad. :) LMS 07-11-2006, 11:01 PM lorrie: I totally understand. when my family is in town, i'm VERY Mia Lindsay 07-12-2006, 12:18 PM Ok, this is going to make me seem like a huge loser, but I am $10 overdrawn and don't have any gas. Like, as in, I drove the car from Rhonert Park the other day home to SR on E. I don't dare drive it again, except to the gas station! I am going to ask my dad if I can borrow $20 (hubby gets paid Friday), so we'll see if I can go. We had to pay rent *and* utilities all in one paycheck, so that's where that went. I'm so very tired of being poor :( My3sonsplus1 07-12-2006, 01:17 PM Well if it just a matter of borrowing I can certainly loan you a $20 or something. Oh and I owe you money from LJ, so if you can make it on fumes to my house I can get you money. I can even round up what I owe you for the woolens and actually help out a tad with gas :) I can even get you $40 in cash I think!!! We can be "rich":lol !!! Lisa Ok, this is going to make me seem like a huge loser, but I am $10 overdrawn and don't have any gas. Like, as in, I drove the car from Rhonert Park the other day home to SR on E.

Honestly I am not even sure I can make it on what I have. But I have some loose change I could round up. Hmm. Let me wait a bit see if I can get ahold of my dad, if not, I will just round up change and come over. How sad am I? daisydoc 07-12-2006, 02:40 PM you're not sad Lindsay... you're just a SAHM! It's hard to make ends meet on one salary in Sonoma County. I don't know how I'm gooing to pay for dinner tomorrow night but I'll figure it out b/c I need a Mommy-Time-Out from my "only word I say is NO" 2 yr old!! LOL We leave for a wedding early friday morning and fridays are payday.... so i'm hoping my dh can get his paycheck thrusday night or else we will have an overdrawn checking account all weekend! And just let us know what you need! Between all of us we can get you there and home! ;) Lindsay 07-12-2006, 02:54 PM I am so going. I am going to drink a mararita and have a good time. My dad is coming by to drop off some gas money, and since I'm paying for some wool with my pay pal on Friday for Lisa (and myself) she'll give me cash today. So I can eat after all. Wheee. I need to find some way to make money. We are STARVING. And, even if I were willing to put my children in day care, I wouldn't make enough money for it to be worth it anyhow. BOO! Lindsay 07-12-2006, 02:55 PM Wierd. It posted twice. lmfike 07-12-2006, 03:23 PM I soo hear you on low on cash or broke. And my husband thinks the solution is for me to go back to work. I only worked retail which as most know doesn't pay didly plus I have to pay for child care for three kids. Plus if during school year two need to be at diff schools for school. I don't think it would really pay for me to go back to work right now. Maybe in 2 yrs when Jules starts school I'll go back to school for some kind of AA or certificate program. That had been the plan when Jamie was younger but then Jules came along just as James started kindergarten. Lindsay 07-12-2006, 03:30 PM My husband thinks that too and it hurts my feelings a little sometimes, like he doesn't support me. I worked in retail too and was getting $10 an hour to be an Assist Mgr. Day care for 2 kids (both in diapers, toddler and infant) would cost me that much! Ah well, it is not forever. Eventually the kids will be older. I plan to go back to school to be a Lactation Consultant not that it pays a whole lot of money, lol. Lynette 07-12-2006, 04:00 PM Isn't it weird how times have changed? In the olden days men wouldn't think twice about moms staying and they try to shove us out the door? Mine gives the SAHM thing lip service until he wants to buy something and I say we don't have enough money... daisydoc 07-12-2006, 04:11 PM I think all men are like that. It's funny that you should mention the old days Lynette! This morning I was at western farm getting dog food and the older gentleman who was helping me noticed my Cookie Lee Tote Bag and told me how he had never heard of cookiel lee until yesterday and was I a distributor? I said yes and he asked "is it worth it?" I said yes b/c I'm a SAHM and it allows me to stay home and make a little money and have relationships with other adults to keep me sane. He replied "It's great to be a SAHM... I made my wife stay home for the first 7yrs!" I just kept thinking to myself that he "made" her stay home. Back then (he probabaly late 50s) that's what we as moms did. Now that there are more options it's more "frowned" upon! My dh and I talk about it a lot b/c to pay for 2 kids to go to daycare my working would pay for just that. It wouldn't add to our income so it jus doesn't make sense. But ya... they're all supportive until they want something and they forget what it's like to be home with the kid all day. That's when I come up with some excuse to leave them with him for a few hours! Usually fixes that "problem" real quick! LOL ;) LMS 07-12-2006, 04:13 PM I hear ya. Tomorrow might just be an appetizer and margarita night for me. Anyone else who wants to join in on that game plan is MORE than welcome. daisydoc 07-12-2006, 04:16 PM Sounds good to me Jackie! :) LMS 07-12-2006, 04:20 PM I think all men are like that.

That's when I come up with some excuse to leave them with him for a few hours! Usually fixes that "problem" real quick! LOL ;) That was the big deciding factor in why i became a sahm. i loved my job and still liked working, but i would have paid $20 PLUS my paycheck to put brendan in daycare.. why should i pay $10 a week to work? Doesn't make sense for us. Now, if i was the big bread winner, you bet your butt i would still be working ;) My3sonsplus1 07-12-2006, 04:43 PM Does anyone know if Michelle is still planning on attending MNO? Totally and absolutley feel free to veto my idea but I was thinking *IF* michelle was not coming anyhow there is no sense in everyone from Santa Rosa driving to RP when we have places here (is El Torritos that good? I haven't a clue, We never really go out)... but if Michelle is still going I am totally fine with keeping our original plans, either way really... I just hate for everyone to pay the gas money to RP if we all coming from SR, and like within a few blocks of eachother at that, with the exception of Lindsa,y but if we met at say Chevy's that is the halfway point between our west side houses and hers in eastern SR. So is Michelle still in? LMS 07-12-2006, 04:51 PM lisa: Sandy may also be coming. I know several people just sounded el torritos sounded good (since you asked, yeah their food is good. it's similar to chevy's though), but if yall agree, we can change - no problem. I'm now hooked on a Taqueria on Stony Point. LOL Lynette 07-12-2006, 05:20 PM I think part of why my husband is open to the SAHM thing at all is because his mom stayed at home and NEVER worked outside the home, even when he was in high school and beyond and he has seen a couple of those nanny cam shows too.... The other thing that bugs me is how working women treat SAHM's as if us staying at home means we disapprove of how they are taking care of their families so they go on the offensive. Sheesh! LMS 07-12-2006, 05:27 PM I have no problem with Moms working. Like i said, if i made enough money that being away from home during the day would make a POSITIVE financial impact on our situation, I'd do it in a heart beat. For the time being, working from home just works better for me. Plu sI love getting to spend time with Brendan. My mom didn't work until we were older. Jr's mom worked while he was growing up (she's a nurse) and she was even single frmo the time he was 16 on, so she was NEVER around. I think in a way that is why he wants me to stay home... so that brendan isn't raising his siblings like JR raised his brothers and sister, kwim? jellybeanmichelle 07-12-2006, 06:01 PM If you want to change it to some place in Santa Rosa, I'm fine with that. I looked on the calendar - I'm still signed up. LMS 07-12-2006, 06:05 PM I'm fine with either. Chevy's has good margaritas too :) teehee dacotahsgirl 07-12-2006, 09:47 PM This is tomorrow night? For some reason I thought I missed it last Thursday...LOL!! I'm in! :D Either place will do, as long as I can have my Pina Colada, or two! :D lol LMS 07-13-2006, 12:01 AM it's tomorrow, miss thang and you best be there! Finall count in the morning! LMS 07-13-2006, 08:38 AM finaly count is 5 people coming... if anyone hasn't voted, either do so or let me know! Lindsay 07-13-2006, 05:50 PM We are for sure going to Chevy's now right? LMS 07-13-2006, 05:59 PM yuppers! jellybeanmichelle 07-13-2006, 06:00 PM THat's what it sounds like and I'm guessing same time still 6pm LMS 07-13-2006, 06:02 PM yup, 6pm at chevys. i'll change the op JeriAnne 07-14-2006, 11:31 PM Dang....do this on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next time and i'm fairly positive I can make it. I couldn't yesterday because I had phone duty during the day and since I don't have a laptop yet, I can't leave my home computer for that long...even though I have phone duty on M-T-W, it's only from 5-7 and not many calls come in during that time. LMS 07-14-2006, 11:57 PM we'll plan one for a monday in august, how about that? becky 07-15-2006, 01:12 PM What is MNO? I seemed to missed this one. That and it was my birthday.
