I'm so disgusted that when I get home (DH needed an extra pair of hands at work today) that I am just going to put our WDW trip off until December and keep putting it off until I get done with school (if I can get done).

OH NO!!! I am so sorry, that stinks!!!! Sending you lots of

Whoa. I know you're flustered when you forget to use your green font...

I'm sorry you are having a bad week...I hope things get better soon.

April is cancelled once again DD is insistent that she wants a party with her friends (and lots of presents, lol). I wasn't thrilled with the rates anyway, but sad I won't get to meet Candace and her crew.

So it looks like Feb is our last trip for a bit. Not sure when will renew the passes so putting away the Disney Visa for a while.....so sad

(I LOVE chocolate labs) but then my sensible brain has to remember -- they are a lot of work, you HAVE to be there to walk them and let them out to the bathroom, and board them if you travel and don't have family to help, pick up their poop, and they scratch your beautiful hardwood floors up --- but they also give unconditional love and devotion! I personally came to the conclusion as much as I love them, it's a little more responsibility than I can handle right now.... I've firmly become a FELINE person, they are warm and cuddly too, they are a bit more independent as you can go away for a weekend and they'd be fine with food and their litter box, boarding is half the cost of a dog! I don't have to walk them, but still have the joy of pet ownership lots to think about, one things for sure -- pets bring something special to our lives! If its right for you and you family, you will know Enjoy if you do decide to adopt a new furbaby!

Marie Thanks for your vote....I know that is the other thing stopping me. Upsetting our two felines with a dog would be a big deal. Our older cat is 10 and she is already hassled enough with the younger male. He torments her pretty regularly.

Today....we have a snow day...school's closed...
Such silly weather!!!

DH has kid duty today though! I took off the whole Christmas break, so it's all him today...

He just ran out to get some coffee and donuts and then I'm off to work....the kids are still sleeping and don't even know about their "good fortune" yet.

Candace: Sounds like the start of a beautiful day for a kiddo! Hope they had a good day!

Miss: Well, she stayed home today, and I have to keep giving her the iburprofen/tylenol mix to keep her fever down. But she is eating and otherwise ok. No vomiting.

Hope she's better today!!!

Jeanette: Thanks...I too feel like I would do most of the work with a dog if we got one. But I do love them, all animals actually. I just have to stop looking at the dog rescue's website that is near us. Thanks for asking about DD. It is nice to be home alone with her for once, she is growing up so fast. I keep sneaking glances at her profile and notice how she is turning into young woman.

Wookie: Awww I am so sorry to hear of that mix up. Please don't get too discouraged. I still think it is amazing that you are managing to do schooling on top of everything else. Hang in there.

Ahhh, adding this one to The List, too. Never been in that area before. Thank you!

Ah, good -- sounds like she's on the mend now... especially with mommy's TLC. LOL at the pic of Perry! All I could hear in my head when I saw that picture was, "If I fits, I sits." Would he be named after a certain blue platypus, by chance?

Okay, thought of something else... has anyone been to Charleston, SC? I need help, really.

[Mousemommy1]

Jen~ Your kitties are sooooo cute!!!!

I'll have to post an updated picture of Lao Che...the last one I posted was when we first got him and he was an itty bitty kitty...

[Mousemommy1]

Lao Che....

[Missoutandabout]

OMG, Candace... he's not a kitty any more! He's a BIG kitty!

What shenanigans did the kiddos get up to with their daddy on snow day?

They grow up soooo fast!!!!

I'm not sure what the fam has been up too...you know, I've been slaving away at work today (read: ) But, I'm outta here in 20 minutes and then I will join in on the fun!

[jennyjinx3]

Awww he looks right at home up there! He's very pretty... I love the climbing structure....complete with a scratching post!

Ha! Yes, he has an odd obsession with water cases that are empty. If the plastic is still on he loves them even more! After that pic, he hunkered down and had a nap in there! He is weird!
And yes, he is named after Perry the Platypus!! Can you tell we like P&F??

[Missoutandabout]

I refuse to show Miss M the kitty pictures because I just knooooow what'll come next: "Mommy, I WANT one, please?!" ... and that will carry on for days and days.

You know, I was just reminded by the breakfast thread someone accidentally posted here. The Captain's Grille is a very nice spot for breakfast.

Perhaps we'll do that one morning....I'm sure we'll get sick of the lounge food everyday.
