Your latest bag is really cute. The Mad Hatter is another of my favorites.
I'm glad V's blood work came back normal.[/qute]
Thank you to both.
The road trip sounds like fun. Unfortunately you won't be anywhere close to me.
Bummer!
I had a busy weekend. Saturday the electricity went out for the whole county for the second time in a week. There was a problem with the transmission line and a transformer another time. I still had to go to work but I couldn't get into the garage because the side door is warped and stuck. Luckily my lights can on about 5 minutes before I was supposed to be at work. Yes, I was late but it was ok because the store still had no power and they were just glad I got it. We stocked until the lights came on. Some places didn't get their power back until 9 that night. We had a lot people hanging around the store all day.
Sunday we went to the auto show and had fun looking at all the new cars.
Today we're supposed to reset the movies. WE should be busy.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Yikes - that does not sound like any fun at all... Although - sometimes I think of those things as an adventure. A few hours is OK - but I am not sure I could do a whole day or longer.
Glad everything came back on and you had a nice weekend after that.
The bag looks great as always
It must be a good feeling that the clothes in the back of the closet fits. I hope you find the clothes you want at the store.
I hope you'll tell us how the taco went that Alli and Gus are making. I hope they do it well
THanks Lillian.
The tacos turned out great... Gus took all the credit, but we found out after he left, that Allison made everything and Gus watched.
Welcome home! I missed you!
Super jealous you are going on a DISmeet road trip! I hope you and Josh have a great time. Bill would NEVER do anything like that...he drives for a living, so driving for fun would not appeal to him.
I am VERY excited about it. But I am VERY nervous about driving to Mo's house... and leaving Mo's house. What if we get lost and end up in a bad neighborhood? Scares the crapola out of me.
Ok...question, this baby thing the Allison had....they turn it off for them because a boyfriend was coming over?? How is that teaching them anything? You can't shut off a baby. Sorry, but I just think that is strange and sort of defeats the purpose of the whole assignment. Am I wrong? But glad he was still there when the baby was "turned back on". This Gus Gus sounds like a really good guy. Very happy for A.....and you!
Well, Allison had to take a deduction in points to have the time off like that, and it had to be pre approved by her teacher. So, if that was something she wanted to do in the first place - well, that's her decision. But I do agree, it doesn't make it very realistic. As a side note, she is taking the baby home again for the fun of it (no points this time) in a couple of weeks.
Yah - I do really like Gus... He is a nice guy. Really. I just have to get over my own trust issues and learn how to better trust my girls' judgement. Not that I don't, it's just hard to explain... I just want to protect them all the time, and they need to learn how to fend for themselves.
So...when is he going to Disney with you guys???
Hahahaha... I don't think he would have any interest at all... Unless we stayed in a cars suite and he was at the TPDE all the time.
Your calendar looks great. You have some really fun ADRs and I'm glad you are still doing the waterparks.
Thanks! I am so happy we got everything we wanted.
Glad to hear all the bloodwork for everyone came out right...what a relief to have all the tests behind you. And you are right....getting yourself on a little Vitamin D won't hurt anything.
79 days and counting!!!!!
Woohoo!!!! I am so excited!
Welcome home!! Glad you had a good trip, can't wait to hear all about it - loved all the pics on FB.
We'll probably get started on Friday because the kids are off school for a teacher work day.
Awesome! He will be so happy!
A lot of kids would shove it into their backpack until it was time for health class but then it would come out so it would look like they had been caring for it when in reality they didn't (the teachers were smarter than my sister and her friends would give them credit for.) I know a couple times kids had their flour babies "kid napped" when they would leave them in their backpacks during PE. The teachers knew who had the babies and who didn't. Really devastated some of the kids (girls mainly) but it made them think twice about leaving their babies behind again. Really couldn't do that with an egg baby since they could break a whole lot easier if someone were step on your back pack. We'd have to find babysitters or else we'd have to sit PE out that day and get a mark that could possibly lower our grade depending on how our participation was through out the year.
I can see the pros/cons to both. I just had a small basket mine hung out in so it was safe and easy to carry. Adding an extra 5 lbs to my back pack does not sound like a fun time.
Hahaha... Yah, well, I can surely say that this baby-think-it-over was much more realistic.
Forgot to mention that the new bag looks so much fun!!! Another great bag!
Thanks Sandra!
Great for fitting into your clothes but I know what you mean about them being outdated. I have boxes of clothes in the attic that I just want to get rid of but DH is like but what are you going to do when you lose weight? I told him buy new clothes because I'd never want to be caught dead in those again since they are so out of style!! He didn't get it so for now they just sit there.
Yup - exactly... Not sure what I am going to do with all of them, but I doubt I'll be wearing them again.
It was very good.
Yay for clothes fitting again!!! Are you throwing/giving away your old clothes? It must make you feel so good.
Thanks Lois! Well, first of all, I am going to let BFF go through them and pick out anything she wants. Then the rest will go to Goodwill.
I agree with Suzi that turning the baby off seemed to defeat the purpose.
Yes, I agree, to some extent. Allison had to take a deduction in points and the teacher had to approve it beforehand. In all reality, she had the baby for 60 hours and it was only off for 2 of those... so...
I totally understood her reasons why she wanted it off... but I was equally happy that Gus stayed around when it came back on and actually enjoyed having it here.
I finally got over to Jordyn's ptr yesterday. I can't imagine what they are all going through. I look at my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter and am so grateful she is healthy! I try never to take good health for granted. I think a medical career and the fact that my brother died when he was 18 keeps it in sharp focus that every day is a gift!
I know...
I try to keep things like that in focus too, some days I forget and I am reminded.
Hey, how did the tacos turn out? Sounds like Gus is a good sport and a lot of fun to have around. He no doubt loves your whole family dynamic as well.
They turned out really good... He took all the credit for a great dinner, but Alli told me after he left that she did all the work and he watched.
Typical man...
Okay, really gotta get upstairs and pack lunches and get breakfast. All the kids are early risers! Have a great day!!!
I hope you have a great day... How is Jennifer doing?
Oh! I almost forgot. I was getting some groceries the other day at a place close to Miles' preschool and I spotted a store I'd never seen before: G Street Fabrics!! I wanted to go in so badly, but was due to pick Miles up and needed to get back home for lunch and naps. But Jen is having a friend come over Friday to give me a break, so guess where I'm making a bee line for??? Yep! Can't wait!!
Oooh have fun!!! Enjoy your time off!

YEsterday was a good day. I was able to get next week's custom order cut and quilted.
Unfortunately - I won't have much more time to work on it this week. Tomorrow, V has her eye doctor appt in the morning - which will take a few hours, I am sure she will need to pick out new glasses. Then - in the afternoon, Alli has her dermatologist appointment - in the total opposite direction. Friday, I will need to grocery shop and other things to get ready for the week. I am hoping to get the applique cut out before I leave, it's always so much easier to start a day off by just stitching it out.
Last night, Gus came for dinner again... He took the credit for a great tasting dinner, but after he left, Allison told us the real story... She made dinner - he watched.
Figures. The funny guy he is, he also left a little something behind for us to discover later... Cracked me up...
After dinner, we all watched an episode of Top Gear, at Gus' request. Then we watched Once Upon A Time - but Gus left before that, he had no interest.
We just started watching that show, and we are all really into it... It's in it's 3rd or 4th season, so we have a lot of catching up to do.
Today, I work at Target all day... Sigh. Enough said about that.

Road trip update:
I just wanted to let everyone here know... Many of my Dis friends are making the effort to meet me while I am in Knoxville... This is evolving into a nice little Dismeet. So, if any of you are in the Knoxville area, or willing to drive to Knoxville on Monday during lunch time (I know, it's crappy that it's a week day, but I don't have a choice in that), please let me know and I will PM you all the info.
I have a couple of friends driving in from Atlanta. And a couple more driving in from Nashville.
I am soooo excited about this!!!
**********************************************************
Have a wonderful day everyone! Sending out prayers and good thoughts to everyone!
D~
Turn the baby off!!!!! I'm sure at some point every mother wishes there were a turn off button....
)
She and I ended up in the spare bedroom last night and slept soundly until she fell out of bed! She went right back to sleep after some cuddles, no harm done.
