Aww Mindy, its gonna be ok!

Just change the locks and book a Disney Cruise, thats what my parents did! :rotfl:

Seriously, it will be ok, my parents said it felt odd for a while, but when I came back for the holidays, they wished i could stay at Uni all year!

How far away is the college?

[luke]

I'm starting a new job next week, teaching Spanish at my old High School!

Nervous is an understatement!!

:goodvibes

[alebisi]

I'm passing a really boring time of my life, so I can't wait to get into Uni at end of September, you know... knowing other people, doing more things etc etc. So I'm anxious but excited of knowing that my life will change in a month or so radically:goodvibes
Ps. I was really scared last week, do you know what happened on Wednesday at the airport of Madrid? well my mom arrived on Monday at the airport of Madrid at the same time when and where the accident happened... Thank god she took the Monday airplane and not the one on Wednesday, so figure out how nervous I was... even though nothing happened (thank godness)

[NDM#1]

I am waiting for my book to be edited, homeschooling my three kiddos, wrapping soap part-time and preparing to speak at a women's retreat in a little over a month. Oh! And I am doing laundry . . . I am always doing laundry!:laundy:

I am trying to find a house to buy. Not as easy as many people think. I've looked at over 20 so far. Many are still over priced for the area. Some are such dumps that it would take a sledgehammer and another pile of money to bring into a livable condition. The funniest part was that I had a mortgage pre-approval in less than 45 minutes. Somewhere out there, there is a house for me.:sad1: :sad1:

[Quacktatty]

I move into my very first house one month from tomorrow and I'm beyond terrified.

BTW Kab - I looked at 21 houses in 3 weeks before I found the "one"!

[lttlmc3]

Hmmmm...yesterday was my birthday.

[alebisi]

Hmmmm...yesterday was my birthday.

happy birthday! or I have to say happy unbirthday considering it was yesterday.... anyways I hope you'd had a magical day:banana: :banana:

[kab407]

Congratulations!

Everyone has been telling me, when you find the right one it will scream "HOME" to you.

[Quacktatty]

Congratulations!

Everyone has been telling me, when you find the right one it will scream "HOME" to you.

That's what they told me too, I didn't believe it until it happened! I found 2 that I really liked, but the last one, I LOVED! And the funniest thing was that it was not the type of home that I originally had in my head.

[DVCsince02]

Ya'll know me...
You know how I earn a livin'...

Oh, wrong movie.

Pregnant... DD started kindergarten... Potty training DS... Did I mention I was pregnant?

[Renysmom]

I am heading to the beach on Wednesday after work.. DH will be doing the driving (6 hours) and I am going to attempt to join the podcast chat from the car with my laptop and Sprint satelitte card... The card worked great last year so I hope it does the same cause I can't miss chat ;)

[halliesmommy01]

Not much going on, I go to work, I study(I am in college) and take care of the kids. Tyson(my 2 yo) has to go to a cardiologist on Thursday to get his heart murmur looked at. I was freaking out but I have calmed down considerably.

[zippy doo dah]

Quite a fun thread...

Right now in my life DH and I are trying for child #4; (already have DD12, DD9, & DS9 - not twins) trying to pay down some debt on our credit report to buy a house; trying to find a full-time elementary teaching job; (anybody hiring??) and at this exact moment as I type, I am roasting peppers and making tons of fresh pasta sauce to fill my mason jars :thumbsup2

[CDolacki2003]

Saturday me and DH celebrated our 5th anniversary. We watched the wedding video for the first time. We laughed at all the drunks at the reception especially the bride and groo.....oh that was us, anyhoo it was funny and kind of sad. Three people are no longer with us and couple are divorced. Oh and I am obcessively planning my WDW vacation for 2009.

[bcvdreamer]

We're getting ready to go to Washington, DC this weekend for one last quick summer get-away before the kids start school next week. My ds is excited, since the last time we were there he was a baby.

I'm going to miss summer. I'm not looking forward to getting up before dawn with my oldest ds. His bus is picking him up at 6:40 am!

[CDolacki2003]

As someone who is looking to buy, best of luck! You aren't in Central NJ are you?

Lots of baby action happening on this board!

[disneymom8589]

We moved our DD down to Oregon yesterday for her last semester of college. I'm in meetings all week for school, which begins on September 3rd. :eek: I'm enjoying my summer too much! I think it's almost harder for teachers to go back than the kids (almost!)

[DVCJones]

oooh, I forgot...I just got a new Macbook and I love it!!!!



As someone who is looking to buy, best of luck! You aren't in Central NJ are you?


No, unfortunately! That would have been too easy. ;)

[ericafny]

I'm gearing up for my last semester for my second Masters degree. I'm done after this, I swear! Also dealing with some scary stomach issues right now but have fingers crossed that all will be OK. Oh yeah and my baby sister is going to college :scared1:

[froggy5657]

I am starting high school on September 4th, and on the 13th I will turn 14.

Other than that my life has been pretty boring.

Wow, your busy, good thing your not pregnant!!

I work IT for a public school. School starts 1 week from tomorrow.....so I'm BUSY!!

Other than that, my kids start school 2 of the 3 and I'm the PTSO President. So my days of leisure are over for the next 9 months.

[Madi100]

Kids started school last week, so back to getting up early. I'm our PTO president, which means trying to get organized, which is not a good thing for me. Made some Disney plans this morning. Getting excited about December trip. I really love WDW and my DH. My two favorite things. And, I get to leave my other two favorite things behind DD10 and DD7. Dealing with family - I'm in the dog house because I went to my DD's soccer game instead of my sister's baby shower. Oh, and soccer. I own one coach and two soccer players.

[scarlett873]

Nothing terribly exciting here. Started school tonight! I'm now officially in the Business Administration degree program! And I have a speech to give in two weeks! :scared1:

Good luck with school and your speech. Just speak about the business of Disney and you'll be fine. :wizard:

[daneenm]

Sent my DD to her first day of Middle School (at my alma mater) and DS to 2nd grade. Spent the afternoon at swim team tryouts, after work.

It is 8:25 and it is the first time I have sat down and not been in a meeting all day!

Sheesh what a day!

[SamSam]

My DD is getting married this Friday. I work in a home office with my husband..our desks are 2 feet apart!:scared1: :scared1: :laughing:

great thread but you may have started something you won't like :lmao: DH says I can talk a starving dog off a meat wagon :scared1:

Hmm, well my DGD will be turning 1 in Sept. I managed to weasle in my Disney addiction and she is going to wear a Minnie dress :cutie: and Minnie is the theme!

DD will start HS next week :eek: I am so nervous for her! And for us!!!

I just planned our next mother/daughter trip :banana: :cool1: :cool1: for Thanksgiving week!

I have the long weekend off and plan on enjoyig the last summer weekend with DD and DGD and DH. We take the baby on the weekends and give my son and his gf a break :thumbsup2 we all win!

Busy searching for good rates on a rental and flights. Planning dining and such. FUN!

[cccm]

I just bought a digital camera and accessory kit online. I received only the accessory kit. Waiting to hear back from company (since Saturday) about where the darn camera is.

If you thought that cliques didn't exist as an adult you were wrong. There is a big one at the office now. I am thinking about changing positions at the company so I can get away from the clique. Does software development sound like fun for a new position?

Girl Scouts Leader kickoff meeting is tonight.

Well, of course I am excited about the meet! Just need to find time to bake off the cakes...lol

And i'm actually toying with the idea of using Disney in my speech! I'm considering the topic of outsourcing. This speech isn't going to be anything formal...but i'm not one of those who can get up and speak about any random topic for 10-15 minutes off the top of my head! 10-15 minutes...ugh...:eek:

[halliesmommy01]

Poor, sweet baby.:lovestruc Is it serious?

Not sure yet. My sister and cousin have heart murmurs and I have an aunt with Mitral valve prolapse(when the valve in your heart does not close all the way)

I will and thank you for your thoughts. It means a lot to me to have such nice friends here.

[LilGMom]

I got my hair cut and highlighted/colored on Saturday and I'm still not in love with the color.

[Stacy's a freak]

It's Tuesday which is the busiest day in the office (for some reason the phones ring off the hook) and we have one admin on vacation. As the office manager I'm filling in :(

My doggie has a little patch of gnawed skin on her tush-area. I'm not sure why so I'm watching it.

One of my best friends was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer about 2 months ago - he goes for another ct scan (and some "pet" scan) tomorrow to see if the chemo is holding it or (cross your fingers) making it recede. Honestly, that's all we can think about these days. He and his wife have been my best friends for about 11 years now and I just can't imagine this happening to a nicer couple - and he's only 44. ok - enough bad news ... please cross your fingers for some good news! We'll find out the results of the scans next week ... on their anniversary - ugh.

On a up note, I'll be in WDW in 96 days! :banana:

[crazydisneyman]

My manager booked us for the Disney Keys to Excellence - Indianapolis on Sept 11th. This is like a traveling Disney Institute. I am so excited about this, and I plan to report back with details about the conference. :cool1:

this is an awesome thread btw.

lesse... I am starting a spanish class in a few weeks which I am totally excited about!!! I already know spanish a little but can understand it better than speak it.

annnnnnd... next saturday dh and I are going to a local casino to see Guy (I can't spell his last name.. it's something like Firetti) from the food network do a cooking demonstration. We are super excited about it!

also, dh and I have totally been getting into the showtime show weeds..we have been renting the dvd's and are on the 3rd season now.

[DexLabDeeDee]

I'm getting ready for our Disney trip in less than two weeks! But first we have to go to the Renaissance Festival, get out to The Great Minnesota Get-Together (State Fair is here again!), celebrate two birthdays, get my hair cut and colored and get packed - without forgetting anything!

Very excited about the State Fair. It's HUGE and the food choices are unbelievable. If you are ever in Minnesota the ten days before Labor Day you need to go!

[tinkbutt]

well here on the MD eastern shore.......

there seem to be some management shifts being made and I think might be in the running for a keyholder position!!!(please everyone cross your fingers for me!!!)

And DBF has decided to go GUARD. (Army National Guard) He is signing his papers on wednesday I believe and prolly leaving in january for his 4month training (boot camp, and AIT) he'll hopefully be back in early may!!!
It will most likely be great for him and his future but I am very :sad:.... I know it is me just being selfish but I want him to be safe. I just hope his unit doesn't get called!!!!!!!

[mpetti]

:cool1: My first born DS who's turning 11 in Dec is starting Jr. High School on Sept. 2nd. We just went for a tour of the school. I hope he likes it!!! His hope is one day to go to Disney College. He loves everything Disney.:cheer2:

I remember going to the Renaissance Festival when I was in high school. I still have the little pewter dragon that I bought while I was there. And, I remember the comedy duo - Puke and Snot. Are they still there? I'm sure they'd be using canes by now, but you never know.

I am. I talk ALOT, and really fast. My youth group leader started this game where he says "Gibson, Random topic..." and then he gives me a random topic to talk about, so far I have been able to talk about everything he has given me. Some of these topics include: Socks, Asparagus, and Arm Pockets (that day he had on a shirt with a pocket on his arm)

True Story!

[luna99]

That is so cool!!! Dh and I love watching him on Food Network.

his show is the only one my father will watch on food network.. so when my dad found out we are going to see him he told me to tell Guy that and to try to get a picture with him..... if I get one, maybe I'll post it on here! wish me luck! I hope if we get to the casino early maybe we'll see guy out on the casino floor gambling or something! woohoo! :thumbsup2

[flyingcat2003]

I want to play! This Labor Day weekend I'm taking the wife and son to Hilton Head. We are staying at the Disney resort. This is our last fling for summer. On a more serious note for today we have to take my son to the orthopedic office. He has something that they call a growth plate issue, it effects his legs. I feel so sorry for him right now he had to quit soccer for the time being and he absolutly loves soccer. Playing causes too much pain. He had plan on being on the Jv team at school this year.

[TheTXTaylors5]

I found another use for my Mickey-head cookie cutter, Mickey-shaped biscuits. :rolleyes:

DH just got his motorcycle license. :moped:

DS8 just tackled his first ball carrier stopping a touchdown. :woohoo:

DD5 just cheered in her first football game. :cheer2:

DS2 ("my baby") just turned 3 this past weekend. :sad1:

DisDog just ate my wooden blinds yesterday. :dogdance:

[disprincessatheart]

Hmm... work is slow, which is why I'm on the Dis in the middle of the day. This weekend DH decided he could afford to be gone from work an extra day next month, so we added a night to our CS free dining trip. I had to book it at rack rate because that's all that was available. Today I looked and found an AP rate - saved $50 for the night!! :banana: Now of course I'm considering joining an Illuminations cruise or doing MNSSHP and spending more than the $$ I saved... :rotfl:

In real life, we're seriously considering adopting another fur baby - ours could use a buddy :dog: :dog: We found 1 we thought would be a good fit, but another family thought the same first. Glad he found a home!!

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

:cheer2: We are prepping for Saturday night at the GCH to watch our friend run the Disneyland Half Marathon. We'll also be cheering on the WISH team - I heard they were running in their lime green shirts:cheer2: . (Any other DISers reading this - let me know if you are running - PM me and we'll make sure to look for you and cheer! We'll be on the DTD route with a 3 yr old Tinkerbell on our shoulders.) :cheer2:

I am waiting for my book to be edited, homeschooling my three kiddos, wrapping soap part-time and preparing to speak at a women's retreat in a little over a month. Oh! And I am doing laundry . . . I am always doing laundry!:laundy:

You wrap soap? I make soap (as a hobby - but potentially as a business)! Just put up about 11 batches and have some more planned for next week. Have to get ready for Christmas! Is there a soap makers forum on the DIS?

Other than those things, I am optomistically going on job interviews (had one Friday and still am waiting to hear from ABC about the job their recruiter asked me to apply for), after being laid off my a major Disney sponsor corporation back in January. I'm happy for all the time I've had with my kids this year, since I know I'll find the right job, soon. My primary field is medical imaging (went to work for a vendor 8 years ago) and due to changing regulations, hospitals aren't hiring in my field, so coming back to the technical realm has been hard. I thought I might stay in the corporate realm instead of going back, so I started applying with Disney - which is just down the street - 1 mile away. Getting an interview with Disney is extremely difficult, but I've had two!

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

We'll find out the results of the scans next week ... on their anniversary - ugh.

PET/CTscans are probably the best detections for that, so he's in good hands. There are some amazing hospitals that perform those in your state. That's part of my field of practice, so I can give you some assurance there. Best of luck to all of you.

[*NikkiBell*]

I'm preparing for a new school year. I teach fifth grade and went in a few days last week and will this week to get my classroom together. It's always such an exhausting thing to do and I am finally almost done.

:hug: Good luck to your DS. My DD broke her growth plate in her right arm last year and it really stunk for her....but she healed up well.:thumbsup2

[exwdwcm]

just went on a job interview today. I have a pretty good job (work from home when i want, great pay, good benefits, i work remotely, travel on occassion and help market cool thermal imaging and night vision equipment to save soldiers' lives etc.).....but the challenge is gone and not sure where the company is heading. So I started putting the word out through friends, old coworkers etc. I've been talking to this company for a month now, finally interviewed today for a Director of Marketing position which is a step up for me. It sounds promising and go back tomorrow for round 2. We will see where it goes. wish me luck.

FIRST thing i did- looked on the new job's website and saw they do quite a few tradeshows in Orlando- including one coming up at the Contemporary! I get to go to Orlando at least once a year on business, so at least I won't lose that perk. :rotfl: :wizard:

DS got his first tooth finally at 10 months!

[tinkbutt]

At work last night I was told my head of store gave her two weeks and will be done as of next thursday!!!!!:eek:

now this is good for her she took this job way too seriously!!!! she had a lot of stress related health problems..... Anyway this means that probably by november all of the members of management will have changed!

store manager leaves thursday
asst. store manager actively looking for new job
full time Key holder transferring to D.C. area
part time Key holder transferring to annapolis area (my favorite!) when she gets married in November!!!!


so please EVERYONE pray for me I want that full time key holder position!!!!!

DD starting Kindergarten next week. DS turns 2 tomorrow...where did all the time go??


I know what you mean, my DD turned 2 in April - she was just a baby yesterday she needs to slow down :)

Other then that, my husband just received PCS orders so now we have to move to Bangor, WA. Coming from SC it's going to be one heck of a drive for us. Not to mention one big change for us as far as climate and time change.

I am more upset we will be so far from Disney then anything, we are use to being 3-6 hours away ;) We moved from Georgia to SC and I thought that was bad!

[DVCsince02]

Good luck Katie & Michelle!!!!

DD starting Kindergarten next week. DS turns 2 tomorrow...where did all the time go??

I'm in the same boat. DD started kindergarten last week and I cried for hours. Our son is 2.5. I feel your pain too. It's not so much starting school but where did the time go?
Hugs to you!:goodvibes

[sjbvan]

All of the sudden DD turned into such a big girl! Now she wants to wear jewelry and picks out her own clothes. DS just doesn't need me like he used to, don't get me wrong I am happy they are healthy, well adjusted children, but there are the times I would like to be needed a little bit! I drop DD off at camp and she doesn't even turn to say goodbye to me anymore! But I would rather it be this way, there are so many parents in this world who don't have it this good!

[simonkodousek]

Yesterday I tried on LOTS of clothes and picked out two outfits (one for warm weather, one for cool weather) for school starting tomorrow... ughh.

And today I am working on redesigning and cleaning my room.

I am such a Will Truman! :rolleyes:

[mjtm610]

Me???
My new phase is I am starting a major diet tomorrow. I say tomorrow because I have been under medical care for the past 4+ years and I had to wait to get my medical approval. While I was sick I couldn't exercise, or be very active at all....add to the fact that they gave me all these medicines that caused "some weight gain". So now I have to get back into my fighting shape.
I have my daughter's wedding in WDW next June and I can't look like I looked at my last daughters wedding!!!!

But, it may mean more $$$.

[The Grumpus]

Actually, it's to bring my title into alignment with the work I was alredy doing.

So, it's more $$$, same work, less credit, more blame.

Thanks for the kind words.

Congratulations on your new diet and your daughter's WDW wedding! :woohoo:

I'm about 2 weeks in on my new diet/exercise program. I would like to lose 20 lbs. or more by mid-December for health/personal reasons. Even though I really have to push myself to become more conscious of portion sizes, fat and calorie intake, and making sure to get at least 60 minutes of exercise each day, I've already lost 2 lbs. I'm also doing the Jeff Lewis thing by not eating after 7 PM because late night snacking is a huge part of my being overweight.

My goal for next summer is to 1) be able to wear almost anything w/out feeling ugly or fat, 2) be able to walk around on the beach without thinking of Jenny Craig or Queen Latifah every few seconds and, 3) be able to handle heat and humidity better so I'm not camped out in the basement all summer watching TiVo'ed episodes of Will & Grace :rolleyes:

Good luck!
~Simon :)

second interview went well- go back Friday to see what package they offer- i think it will be good though!

[cccm]

We got teacher postcards in the mail today.

I'm taking tomorrow off to do something with DD before school starts.

Heard back from company about camera and they will be shipping shortly after long weekend. So I should have it before I go to Disney!!!

I leave for Disney in about one month.....I just made hotel reservations, I don't have any ADRs and no clue what we are wearing to MNSSHP on 10/02. Oh yeah and I want to lose 10 lbs. I am so excited

Such the craving for ice cream........

Congratulations The Grumpus....more $$ is always welcome.

[rtobe]

I know what you mean, my DD turned 2 in April - she was just a baby yesterday she needs to slow down :)

Other then that, my husband just received PCS orders so now we have to move to Bangor, WA. Coming from SC it's going to be one heck of a drive for us. Not to mention one big change for us as far as climate and time change.

I am more upset we will be so far from Disney then anything, we are use to being 3-6 hours away ;) We moved from Georgia to SC and I thought that was bad!



Bangor, WA is absolutely gorgeous. Just got back from business trip there last week at the Naval Station. Pack your umbrella you might need it. ;)

Me - I push paper for a living for the federal government. Today I moved a pile from one side of my desk to the other. Then the telephones in the entire office stopped working so it was quiet. Looking forward to my Oct. F&W trip to WDW and DVC home Boardwalk.

My oldest is over 3 now and I know what you mean!

You may be farther from WDW now, but you are much closer to DL! You do know that DL is very condusive to quickie weekend trips, don't you!!!! :yay:

Good luck - I understand the big move - I picked up my life and moved from Missouri to Los Angeles in 2000! It's rouch, but you'll do great! It really is very beautiful where you are going and the people are just wonderful!

Take care. Don't get too stressed!

I have happy news! My son's appointment with the cardiologist was fine. He has an innocent murmur. They wanted to rule out a valve problem or hole in his heart. What a relief

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Yay!!!! So glad to hear! Murmurs are definitely "doable" for a kid to have a normal life in today's world. There are less day to day challenges fo that as a childhood disease than having to work around juvenile diabetes, for example. You definitely have someone upstairs looking out for your family!

[jimmiej]

After 25 years as a Texas public schools band director, I'm now teaching elementary music. My first week was great! The best part is, no more long bus rides to far away Friday night football games.

Anyways, that's the big event in my life right now...

[aGoofyMom]

Catching up around here! :goodvibes

I have had a busy summer but I am in a lull right now - and gearing up for a busy September.

DD turns 7 on Tuesday and starts Grade 2. DH has an interview for another area of his company on Thursday. I am gearing up for a bellydance performance in a few weeks (5 pages of choreography to learn plus manuevering a weighted silk veil in the wind) and I still have costume bits to make.

We will be gearing up for dance classes for both DD & I soon.

Oh - and I am hoping to enter a photography contest at a local fair in a few weeks...still sorting out pictures & their rules.

[adsrtw]

Here's a random fact! Exactly 9 years and three minutes ago, I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.

That is so cool! How jealous am I?!! I want to learn how to bellydance! I guess I will put that on my growing list of things I want to do before I die.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Selling our house and trying to move to Florida right now. The area we are looking to move to just turned into a flood zone from Fay.

Work is crazed with crazies right now. Gotta love the nuts that come out around the holidays. So much fun!!!

Off tomorrow for the holiday. Yeah for me that is rare.


Hmmmm I am cleaning, cleaning cleaning for house showings. Did I mention I was cleaning. Try showing a house with a 3 year old under foot. Not so easy.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Here's my random information -- I have about a kazillion loads of laundry to do thanks to 11 days @ WDW!!!

[aGoofyMom]

That is so cool! How jealous am I?!! I want to learn how to bellydance! I guess I will put that on my growing list of things I want to do before I die.

I highly recommend finding a class & going for it. It is a lot of fun and also incredibly empowering - at least as far as body image goes!;)

[cccm]

DD starts 5th grade tomorrow. Wonder how the teacher is going to feel about DD taking off 4 days for WDW.

One month....we leave in one month!!!

[tinkbutt]

OK I figured here would be the best place to blow off some steam!!!!

I just figured out that the girl who I am going to replace as Full time keyholder isn't leaving till after the holidays so I won't get the promotion until after she leaves!!!:mad: I am very frustrated!!! plus almost EVERYONE at my job acts like they are there to socialize and not work! on wednesday night I saw a gum wrapper on the floor and left it there to see if anyone else would pick it up and guess who ended up picking it up from the exact same spot it was in.....ME!!!! come on people! bend over and pick it up IT ISN"T GLUED TO THE FLOOR YA KNOW!!!!!

ok I feel a little better now? :headache:

One of the hardest things to realize is that not everyone has the same work ethic as you and that you can't always expect too much out of people.

[katscradle]

Kids are back in school, strating to regain some of my sanity.
Just bought a 42" LCD TV and had that hung so today is the big house clean up day.
DH and DS10 and DS5 are all going to be involved in this job.
Can't wait to get this over and done.

[aGoofyMom]

Happy Birthday Gibson!!!!!

[aGoofyMom]

This is the perfect spot for me to share something random that happened to me yesterday. I firmly believe someone else has had this happen!

I was snacking on tortilla chips & salsa dip. LIME flavoured tortilla chips. I was breaking the chips smaller before dipping. I snapped a chip, and a small shard flew through the air and landed directly in my left eye. Yep, it hurt. I didn't say that many bad words as DH was in the other room & I was more interested in getting help. Apparently I use enough bad language that it no longer warrnets attention...:confused3

He helped me upstairs but refused to try to dig it out so I managed with a make up mirror. I had to wash my eye out twice to get the sting out after the lime.

I never thought I would be blinded by lime (at least without the rum!):rolleyes1 :sad2:

[maiziezoe]

Today is my Birthday!:goodvibes

Happy Happy Day Gibson! Hope your b-day is great!



I am going to Disneyland Paris tomorrow!

Have a great time!! I'm green with envy!

As for my "something random"... I have a headache!:headache:

[adsrtw]

My random info for today, well how about tonight ~ I'm watching Coco Chanel on Lifetime and DISing at the same time.

[Disney Khi]

I had no idea that lime chips could be so dangerous! I have loved those for many years and luckily have remained accident-free!

I'm getting a new boss at my job this week, so I'm a bit nervous. However, it will also be a fun week because my sister is coming to visit me. I haven't seen her since Christmas. DH and I moved about 700 miles away from our family last year, so we don't get to see them much. My sister is coming to visit because we are going to a New Kids on the Block concert on Friday night to relive our youth! :cool1:

[tinkbutt]

well I've had a GREAT :rolleyes: weekend?

my mom decided she was gonna switch to Direc tv yesterday? so the man comes out switches the service, then when mom comes home she realizes our internet is slower, we have NO local channels and now we can't even find our channels that we do wanna watch.

PULS her beloved redskins are on today so now the no local channel things is unacceptable.

so quick review my weekend off has been spent waiting around for satellite/cable men to show up!!!! ( I don't usually have the weekend off!)

so mom I love you but please get all the facts before ya switch services!

ok I'm done



AGOOFYMOM I hope your chip in the eye doesn't keep you from enjoying future snacking!!

[Renysmom]

"PULS her beloved redskins are on today so now the no local channel things is unacceptable."

Tink - don't let her know she missed on heck of a come from behind win...

[tinkbutt]

oh she saw it she made sure of that but it didn't come without a few freak outs!!

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Not this very moment, DH and I are watching Army Wives and surfing online about our upcoming trip on the commercials.
BUT, I have been at home as a wife and mom for more than 15 years. My kids are all now in school all day and I am SOOOO LONELY. I have tons to do to keep me busy, but all day I feel like I am working in slow motion. I have lots of projects that need to be accomplished but all I do is think about how much I am missing them. Tell me, does it gets easier? I have just LOVED being a SAHM for so many years, I knew this day would come but it came so darn soon......
School just started and I already can't wait till summer vacation so I have them home with me again.

[Iggipolka]

I'm pregnant! :goodvibes My wife (yes, I said wife) and I have been trying for awhile, so this is wonderful news. I was listening to the Podcast during my last medical intervention, so maybe it was good vibes from Julie that did it. ;)

I won't be running the WDW half-marathon in January, but maybe I'll walk it instead.

I'm sorry I don't know that it will get easier because I don't have kids but I know from being a kid even though I am not always with my mom there are times where I find myself saying "I just want my mom" .

If you ever get lonely we're here to pick ya up;)

Thanks, I actually discovered this the week before they went back to school and knew I was going to enjoy it, and I have. I just never knew how much I'd miss them all day. Last year DD6 went to kindergarten in the afternoon. By the time she left, I'd run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything done so my evenings were free for them, and before I knew it they would be home.:) For some reason I have not got that spark in me to get stuff done, I am hoping it kicks in. I did very little over the summer because I wanted to spend every second I could with them, I did laundry, dishes, that sort of stuff, but I let a lot of things go figuring I could catch up once they were back in school. Now they are I have to catch up, and, well, I don't know. I guess it is just an adjustment time for me. I am sure it will get easier. Thanks for listening.

[calypso*a*go-go]

School just started and I already can't wait till summer vacation so I have them home with me again.

Just go help at their schools a few times a week. That's what I did when I felt lonely at home all by myself.

It was a sign to eat healthier. I am sure.:rolleyes1

Well a week and a half after injuring my shoulder, and then the chip in the eye incident, I fell last night and hurt my ankle. I am such a KLUTZ. It must be time for vacation! 38 more working hours & I am off for 12 days! Hopefully that will help - maybe I just need sleep...

DH and I are due to be in WDW next week:banana: and I'm having a tough time with darn Morning Sickness.. hoping my doc will give me something to help me feel better for the trip... oh and we're also supposed to be running in the Everest Challenge 5k and obsticle course...

Congratulations again!!!:yay: :yay:

Thanks everyone and congratulations to you too! My wife and I are going to be in WDW in three weeks! I'm trying to figure out how to hide this news from my family until we're past the 1st trimester. It's not going to be easy.

Oh..and I was also scheduled to run the WDW half-marathon in January and like you, I haven't been running at all. My doctor told me very directly not to run at all, so maybe I'll be briskly walking the half-marathon.
Good luck with your 5k!

[kpadalik]

Let's see...my life right now...

Well I am working full time nights

My DD (5) started Kindergarten and got a teacher that should not be a kindergarten teacher so we had to go through this whole 10 day "intervention" thing. It was a long and horrible 10 days ("I hate school", "I don't want to go back", etc.) Anyways, it worked out b/c now she has a new and wonderful teacher who she absolutely adores!:thumbsup2

My DD (1 on Sept 20th) took her first steps yesterday:eek:

And if that wasn't enough...I am planning two parties for next weekend. A baby shower for my SIL w/ 25 people attending and my DD's 1st birthday w/ 20 people attending. Both are at my house, one on Saturday the 27th and one on Sunday the 28th, plus I have to work Friday and Sunday nights! Am I crazy or what?:upsidedow

I just keep telling myself that I can get through this...everything will be fine and if it's not perfect, no one will know!

I'm gonna need to get away for the weekend when all this is over! Thank goodness Disney is only 2 hours away!!:yay:

[AllyGirl_79]

Just be sure to take lots of photos (or assign someone if you're really tired). We had my niece's first birthday party last Saturday, and it was so crazy no one really took any photos. We're going to have to put her back in her dress and party hat next weekend and take staged photos.

Good luck with the parties!

Have fun at WDW!!!:cool1: We are still planning on heading down to the World in Jan during marathon time, even though there's no way I'm doing a half-marathon 7 months pregnant:lmao: I was trying to convince DH to let me run in the Princess Half marathon in March... I had just told myself that I would register after my next bonus from work... glad I found out I was pg before that happened... can't really see running that distance a month before having a baby:rotfl: Next week should be interesting enough... it's amazing how much energy it takes just to get up the stairs once you're pregnant... I just hope I finish this "little" race:headache:
We told our family right after we found out... I couldn't stand waiting :rolleyes1 and this will be my parent's first grandchild, so I knew the would be super excited since we had all given up hope there would even be grandchildren.
We had our 2nd Dr's appt yesterday.. I really like my Dr.. both appts we've gone in for we have gotten to do ultrasounds, so yesterday we got to see our peanut moving around and you could see little arms and legs wiggling.. DH was wowed!:thumbsup2

Congrats again!!!

[alebisi]

I decided for the fall of 2009 to study at USA, filming school (undergraduate), or in florida or california, any tips guys? Now I have to search for Colleges, I've seen a lot that I like and then do the SATs etc.. hope everything goes fine!

I'm gathering stuff together for our WDW trip next week.:laundy: :yay: :yay:

Lucky you! I just booked our trip for next October, we are all counting down the days. I just found out the What Will You Celebrate? Tour will be here on Thursday, so I think I will take the boys, I'm still waiting for more information.

DS6 started Kindergarten a few weeks ago, and loves it, thank goodness! DS4 also started all day Pre-K, 3 days a week. At first I thought it might be too much, but he really likes it. I'm mostly a SAHM (I work Fri and Sat for a sanity break :laughing: ), and they have always been home with me, so it was quite the transition for all of us.

DH just left this morning for a 3 day convention in Iowa, and I'm getting ready for a garage sale next weekend.

I decided for the fall of 2009 to study at USA, filming school (undergraduate), or in florida or california, any tips guys? Now I have to search for Colleges, I've seen a lot that I like and then do the SATs etc.. hope everything goes fine!

Wow! Cool! Big step moving to the states! Best of luck! :hug:

i assume you're aware that schools in the US are VERY expensive...even states schools are expensive...

The queuing is terrible, maybe because i am a Brit, and we live to queue but a lot of us were very fed up about lack of queuing structure!

NOW HEAR THIS -- I am ordering you to remain uninjured over the next 38 hours!!! :teeth:

I not only survived to see vacation without further major mishaps I got through my bellydance performance! Ok there was a minor masacara mishap but it only hurt for a quick bit and the 20 minutes of effort into the stage makeup survived!

Woohoo! A belly dance sister! :) Congrats on getting through your performance. Where did you dance? I can so relate to the mascara mishap. I wore false eyelashes at my last dance and one of them fell off, right in the middle of a veil dance! I looked pretty strange with one eye with lashes and one eye without lashes. *giggle*

We did "veil poi" - half circle weighted veils outside in the wind! It was a medieval faire. That was an adventure. Because of that I went with 2 stage mascara & got the gluey portion on my eye itself. EEWWWW!

[DVCsince02]

Pregnant... DD started kindergarten... Potty training DS... Did I mention I was pregnant?

Not pregnant anymore!!! The rest is the same.

[halliesmommy01]

I just survived taking my son for his 2 year pictures. I went alone. DH works weekends. It went much smoother than expected. He fussed by not like his sister did when we took her for her 2 year pictures. His birthday was in August and I was dreading it so much I just did it today. LOL

I hope you are ok. My DH broke his foot skydiving when we first started dating. I know it was pretty painful. Hope you feel better soon. Good Luck on your move too. Sounds exciting.

Katie - I am sorry to hear that work stinks for you. I had a similar situation at my job, was promised all of these things, and then found out they were give to someone else. If it doesn't knock you down it will only make you stronger! Just know that you are better than that and one day you will find a job where you will be valued. Oh and about your DBF leaving for boot camp - just think by the time he gets back it will be warm out (I think you live on the east coast where it can get kind of chilly...) :)

[LilGMom]

Thanks and no I didn't buy anything for myself. :headache: I've been busy finishing up the Christmas shopping for the kids. I might have to find a spa treatment under the tree from me to me though. :) Or I might have to leave the kids and DH home (after Christmas) and enjoy a day of shopping by myself.

Yep, only substitute his head for the computer monitor. :rolleyes1

Is it your birthday today too?

Happy Birthday to us! :hug: :cheer2:

[Decorated_Dust]

I officially love school. I got an A on my worship project, and in Psychology of Gender. I also got a B in my teaching class. Not only that, but I'm officially set to graduate in May! School is now officially almost over, and my GPA is intact!

By the way, for the jerk that forgot LilGMom's b-day. :duck:

I'm in too much fear of jail to use a hammer. :sad2:

Oh yeah, and happy b-day to you and wish!!! :hug:

[LilGMom]

Is it your birthday today too?

Happy Birthday to us! :hug: :cheer2:

:bday: to you! Have some :cake: .

My birthday was actually the 7th. It wasn't bad enough that we came home from WDW the day before my birthday but then to not even get a card, ugh. Breakfast in bed would have been nice too, but alas....
