Alissa and Tracey....I will call ABD tomorrow and correct this.

I apologize for this mix up.

MatthewT212 · 03-11-2010, 12:15 AM

We didn't recieve ours yet so I'm hoping for tomorrow!!

In case anyone is looking for something to do during our free time in Disneyland, I just read that comic-con will be going on April 16-18 at the Convention Center. No wonder the hotels are SO booked!

Special guests will include William Shatner & Adam West!

I had to wait until five minutes ago to open it though. I waited until Bill came home. So, we could open it together.

Is that everyone now??????

Yes, I am a very lucky guy to have a wife that understands my Disney obsession as well.

This is just one more step towards this dream of a lifetime becoming a reality!!!

Well, the children now know we're going to California next month. With all the Nanny interviews, I slipped up and mentioned the trip in front of them. However, they still don't know about the Disneyland portion. To be honest, as long as we bring them back a souvenir, they should be fine. We have openly talked about a trip to California this fall with them. So, they won't be missing too much on this trip that would interest them. Also, with the "bribe" of visiting Legoland in addition to Disneyland this fall, they're like, "Go wherever you want!"

If you are ever in a pinch and need a Nanny, I highly recommend nannies4hire.com

We had to pay a subscription fee. But, the security of knowing this person has a background check and positive references makes me okay with traveling so far away from home without the children. Also, having my Mom stay with them in evenings will give me some security too.

I've interviewed some great qualified candidates to care for our children. I have one already committed if we want her. I guess "committed" probably was a bad word.

But, I have one more that needs to come to the house and meet the kids and dog. The person has to pass the "dog" test. If they can handle our dog (he's very lovable, but hyper), they're in.

I got a surprise box today delivery by the "Brown Truck of Joy" (That saying is going to stick with me. Thank Tonya!

) compliments of my loving DH.

We were watching the show Unwrapped on The Food Network last week. When a segment came up about "Old Classics" like candy and food, my eyes opened widely when I saw a familiar tub from my youth. I grew up in Massachusetts and would have fluffernutter sandwiches EVERY day for lunch. For those that don't know, fluffernutter is a sandwich made with Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter. It is as good as it sounds. Well, living here in Texas, they don't sell Fluff.

Fastforward to today, the doorbell rings and waiting by the doorstep is a package addressed to Bill. So, I IM'd him and told him he received a package.

He told ME to open it up. Bill being a thoughtful man, he looked online and ordered me THREE big tubs of Marshmallow Fluff. It just arrived a few minutes ago. I know what I'm having for lunch today!!!!!!

Thank you honey!!!!!

Jennifer

stenogoddess · 03-11-2010, 01:01 PM

Jenn: First of all, I hope it's okay, I'm a little in love with Bill right now over that fluffernutter thing. That's just so sweet. My DH would think about doing that, but he would never actually do it. Of course, my DH installed a brand new heathing and air unit this weekend for me, so don't think he's totally slack.

But what I really wanted to say is I'm so glad you're getting the kiddo thing taken care of. I can't imagine how stressful that must be for you. Thank God Mom/Grandma is helping out! It wouldn't have been the same without you and Katherine!

OMG - life without FLUFF

I love the stuff and it makes the best chocolate fudge. Even DH-Dino who hates marshmallows, absolutely loves the fudge.

I'm hungry . . .

Dodie · 03-11-2010, 01:32 PM

Seriously? There are places where you can't buy a jar of marshmallow fluff? I'm perplexed and shocked by this information!!!! How do you make fudge without marshmallow fluff?
