Hey Moms!

Did you have another crazy, busy, tons-to-do kind of week? Do your weeks just go on and on and on? Well get ready to take some time for yourself and relax with other Gather Moms every Wednesday.

We’ll post a new article like this one each Wednesday and give you the chance to chill out and chat with your friends about the many things you experienced. Tell us what you did each day – where you took the kids, how you get quality time with your family, what you made for dinner, how many hats you wore, etc. This is your chance to just vent away and get some R&R for yourself!

To reward you for the amazing work you do for your family, we’ll be awarding two (2) Gather Moms who participate in each chat with 250 Gather Points™! Winners will be announced in this article’s comment thread the day after the chat.

So jump right in and get to venting! The chat will run from 10-11PM ET tonight in the comment thread below to give you plenty of time to share.

Are you a new mom on Gather? Welcome! To join the chat, submit your comments and make sure to keep hitting "refresh" to ensure you don't miss any other comments.

Happy Chattin’!

j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:04pm EST
Yes, there are no late mornings for moms. My three-month-old finally started sleeping through the night, but now my toddler has decided to wake up around 4-5 a.m. to come join me in bed.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:12pm EST
awww... i remember those days. we had to get a king size bed because the three boys would come in on saturday morning and snuggle.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:14pm EST
Yes, d.d. I keep suggesting to my husband that we need a bigger bed, because I am always finding myself on the edge.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:02pm EST

who is leo coney island?
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:06pm EST
I went to have breakfast with my girlfriend. we met at 10:30 at this little coffee shop called "sweetbites". we sat and caught up and 4 hours later, I had to run and bring my son to the ortho. 4 HOURS... we sat in comfy leather chairs. I did order us ice tea at about 1pm. :)
j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:08pm EST
It sure sounds like an amazing way to spend the morning.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:09pm EST
don't worry, one day ... in the future, you will be able to do this too.... I only have one at home and he's 15. very independent. so my days are very quiet when he is at school.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:12pm EST
I actually tried to remember when the last time I did this was, and it was when I was pregnant with my now three-year-old and my now seven-year-old was in day care.... The days still fly by too quickly though, and I don't want them to grow up too fast.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:13pm EST
definitely slow down the days and enjoy them. I miss those days.
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:16pm EST
you know time is flying by when the grandkids are starting to grow up!!
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:07pm EST
i cant believe the yankees are about to win the world series
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:10pm EST
i'll have to tell my hsband... he just got home from his trip... He'll be sad too!
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:10pm EST
I just heard him say...awwww crap... he must have turned the bedroom tv on. :)
Susan B. Nov 4, 2009, 10:10pm EST
I know. I am so sad about that. I am such an anti Yankee.

You're probably a real fan and I've just offended you....oh well
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:11pm EST
i am not a yankee fan... i can't stand them although howard just hit a home run
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:13pm EST
yankees are really winning?? uh oh
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:14pm EST
yeppers they are, but the phillies are trying to make a game of it now... lets go phillies
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:17pm EST
wow....there's no game on here. sr is watching a movie with his leg up & i'm watching top chef.
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:18pm EST
not holding my breathe about this becoming a game
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:19pm EST
oh, i'll have to run over and catch top chef. i'm watching Road rules and real world ruins?
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:20pm EST
it's top chef reunion.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:30pm EST
oh, I wanted to see that one... I saw some pissy comments in the previews.
Kimberly Blackadar Nov 4, 2009, 10:10pm EST
I just finished "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. I hate when a good book ends. :(
j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:13pm EST
I have not read it, but I know what you mean. When the book is really good, you become a part of it.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:14pm EST
ooooh, Kimberly, good to know. I will have to put that book on my To-read list.
Kimberly Blackadar Nov 4, 2009, 10:21pm EST
Yes, I love all of Nicholas Sparks' books, and he has never disappointed me yet. :)
Mary G. Nov 4, 2009, 10:11pm EST
I am here trying to get use to the new Gather.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:14pm EST

Mary G. Nov 4, 2009, 10:16pm EST
My newest challenge is pending messages that pend more than one time.
Mary G. Nov 4, 2009, 10:13pm EST
My father took me to Yankee Games when I was a child. Its a talented team.
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:15pm EST
well i am lucky to live in detroit, we have the yankees of the nhl...we have the wings... i personally don't care about baseball, but the hubby can't stand the yankees
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:18pm EST
red wings rock the house!!!
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:20pm EST

Hi d d
Alena Chauntee AKA Kitten Nov 4, 2009, 10:22pm EST
Hi Teresa, how are you:)
Teresa W. Nov 4, 2009, 10:18pm EST
I'm hiding in my room. It's been a tough week with the kids
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:20pm EST
hiding is good. I use to soak in the bath tub with bubble bath, hot tea and a good magazine.
Teresa W. Nov 4, 2009, 10:21pm EST
I wish we had a real bath tub, I would live in there!
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:22pm EST
the only time i get to take a bath is when we go to niagara falls. great tubs at the hotel we stay at.
Kimberly Blackadar Nov 4, 2009, 10:22pm EST
I hope you find your "escape." Moms sure need a break! :)
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:18pm EST
did anyone use the kodak 15.00 coupon? I ordered a mug and chose the template that allowed you to put two photos. so I put two of my paintings on the mug. a tuscany sunflower scene and then the other painting was "i'm walking on sunshine" with the two sunflowers. The mug came out really cute. I had to pay for shipping so it was 5.99, but it has my paintings on it. wahoo! did you use the coupon?
Teresa W. Nov 4, 2009, 10:19pm EST
I did the same thing, used my $15 coupon for something that is secret because I'm giving it as a gift. Just had to pay shipping. Love deals like that!!
j - Frugal Mom - r. Nov 4, 2009, 10:19pm EST
I got the coupon, but I did not use it yet.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:21pm EST
I think you have to use it soon?? can't remember the expiration date, but i did get a reminder to use the coupon, even though I did use the coupon. HMMM.
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:21pm EST
i tried to do that & it wouldn't let me. it kept saying i had already used my $15. i'm like if i did, i don't know what i got!!! lol
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 4, 2009, 10:22pm EST
i know the post you are talking about, but i don't think i ever go the coupon
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:22pm EST
see now that's weird.... i would call the customer service and tell them. that you did not use the coupon.
Teresa W. Nov 4, 2009, 10:24pm EST
Unfortunately, it is expired. I just checked my email.
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:24pm EST
i thought about it, but then forgot about it....until now!!! senior moment
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:25pm EST
anne, check you emails. the code came in the email. I think I got a reminder email...and then recently i got an email that reminded me again, but I had used it. i checked the code and it was the same code.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:26pm EST
oh, bummer.... today there was one for a free veggie tale dvd ..it said free shipping but then inside the actual web site you had to spend 30.00 to get it free, so it ended up being a 2.99 shipping charge. I didn't get it... as I have no one to give it to.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:28pm EST
oh, back to the kodak coupon. I wished that the value was truly 15.00. then my mug would have been less. It only cost 12.99 so they gave me a 12.99 credit and then charged me shipping. I think they should have given me the 15.00 and then charged me for the balance.
Michelle S. Nov 4, 2009, 10:31pm EST
i saw the veggie tale thing. i don't understand if something says free, why it really isn't free!!??!

kodak should have been the $15 then whatever else you get, you get charged for it.
d d. Nov 4, 2009, 10:34pm EST
yes... because if you bought something for 5.00 you still would have paid for shipping.??
Teresa W. Nov 4, 2009, 10:18pm EST
Hi Michelle

I'm going to call it the night, because I know it will be nursing time soon, and then morning will come around, and I will need to be rested for my three very active boys.
