You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!

[mickeystoontown]

I was going to tell you I know of a really good cabinet maker. Maybe if you would offer him the "right price" he might be more accomodating. I do like ice cream and chips. It's that salty/sweet mixture. And I will eat anesthesia donuts (powdered to those of you who have never smelled ether) with anything. A coke is best or chocolate milk.

My dippers use Ranch if mayo is not available. I don't dip anything. I don't like ketchup. Alex dips everything in mustard. I don't know where these knucklers get such ideas.

Yeah, I know a really good cabinet maker too. It's just that he already knows I'll cook for him, clean house for him, wash his clothes, and you can imagine what else. It's just when you're self employed you've gotta take those "paying" jobs whenever the customer calls. Hunter will get his cabinet/desk soon enough.

Good Morning!! Lisa

Just seen some of your CBR pic!!! The one of Hunter trying to look so relaxed is so cute! you can see the EXCITEMENT and happiness in his entire face.

Have a Great Day!!

He's just like his Mama, he wants to drop his bags and go do something. I told him to get on the bed and relax and that's the best he could do.

I am posting more CBR pictures over on that thread. I had some requests for pictures before I left.

I think I may go ahead and start my trip report soon even though I haven't uploaded Lacey's pictures yet. I've just got to come up with a catchy title. I have a few in mind but haven't decided which one to use.

 

[hhockman]

That's it, I'm headed to the CBR thread so I can see your pictures. Can't wait any longer.

Looking forward to seeing what title you come up with!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been keeping up!

Dipping: When I was in high school, we used to walk over to the local diner after school and order a big order of fries and vanilla milkshakes and dip the fries in the shake. So good! Such a vivid sensory memory for me too! I also love ranch for dipping pizza and breadsticks and good tarter sauce for fries.

The Dump Zone: Our's is the kitchen counter. Drives me insane. Mail, bags, toys, paystubs (DH's), keys, and everything else. I clean it up about once a week, but no system ever keeps it clutter free. I've hung up a set of hooks for keys, put a basket for DH's man clutter (I swear, he needs a purse more than I do), nothing works.

Homework/Procrastination: My older son is a smart kid, well behaved in class, even got a 4.0 GPA the first semester last year. Imagine my surprise when I got his mid term progress report for 2nd semester and he was FLUNKING two subjects!!! He forgot to turn in assignments or he forgot to do the assignments in the first place. When he gets a big assignment like a report, I have to sit down and plan out with him what he needs to accomplish by what date, like you need to have an outline by Friday, first draft by Weds, artwork drawn by Thurs., etc. If he didn't take completely after me in this capacity, I would go crazy. But I was always the same way at his age.

Congrats on Lacey's grant. It is such a relief to get that kind of help, and know it's not going to be hanging over your head when you're done with school to pay it back.

Good morning girls. I just got to work this morning. Had Dr. appointment and mammogram. Dr. visit went well. He says I'm good. There were no 'markers' on the thyroid scan. That is a good thing. I have to go back in the fall for the final thyroid test and if it is good they probably won't check it anymore. It is a combination scan/blood work. Every day for a week. Flame me. First mammo in 5 years. Bad me. Hope everyone has a great day. Now I must go get caught up on reports.

Did you get a look see at the CBR? I posted lots of them and that's not even all of them.

I can relate to everything you just posted! I often tell John he needs a "murse" a/k/a Man Purse.

Hunter is really bad about not turning in his homework. I don't know why 'cause he'll have it done but just not turn it in. What's up with that? Boys!

I'm not gonna fuss at you 'cause I am a year and a half overdue for a yearly checkup. John gets on to me on a near daily basis. I just say how would you like somebody to stick a..........................I'll stop 'cause ya'll can probably figure out what I say.

Your pictures on the CBR pics thread are amazing!! I can't wait for more!

I checked out your CBR pics. Very good. Now if they just had queen beds it would be ideal. Hunter is a hoot. Just chillin'.

Thanks a bunch. I have many more somewhere on photobucket. Just gotta find them.

I thought they turned out pretty good, especially the outside ones. The double beds were the only slight problem we had with the CBR this go round. Usually, it's just John, Hunter and I. Hunter and I will sleep in a bed and give John one to himself. Since Lacey came along this time, we had to sleep two to a bed. It wasn't too bad though since by the time we hit the bed, we were all dog tired and didn't even notice how big or small the beds were.

Hunter wasn't chillin' for long. He was ready to get out the door and explore.

Lisa, if we ever stay onsite, I think your CBR pics are enough to convince me it would be our resort of choice. I love the theming! It seems like a great contrast to the theme park atmosphere, like you're getting the best of both worlds staying there... super duper WDW theme park plus relaxing, luxurious tropical resort too.

Small hijack here--can I plug my PTR I just started? Here's the link: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33240183#post33240183

You are one of my main inspirations for starting it!

Those are almost the exact words that John and I use to describe the CBR. It's a vacation within a Disney vacation.

I have told all of you that there is no such thing as "hijacking" my threads. Everybody is welcome to plug, say or do whatever they want here. We're just a bunch of crazy Dis friends. I'm gonna head over to your thread right now.

 

[mickeystoontown]

It's officially started! My new trip report. Right now, I've named it the "Stop Making Me Laugh Or I'll Pee My Pants! Go Back! I've Lost My Shoe! Trip Report. That could change if I think of something else. But, we did shout those words more than a few times on the trip.

The link's in my signature.

I'm off to read it!

It looks like we may not be doing Disny anytime soon.
DH went to the Drs today. I had mentioned in my TR how he was having problems keeping up with becuase of a sore hip. Well he finally was told to go to a specialist, which he should've been told over a year ago to go. His Dr is horrid, and we've all told him to find a new one. Well anyways, he went today and he has to have a hip replacement. So with the recovery and cost, I'm sure fun things are going to be cut to a minimum for awhile. I feel bad for him, but I hope this helps him. The specialist was appalled that this dumb Dr made him get mri's and other un-needed test before he sent him to a specialist. He said that the x-rays from last Dec show the problem and he should've been sent then, and obviously this Dr has no clue how to read them. The specialist put it in terms DH could understand..."this wheel isn't going to last on the cart much longer" lol!
So thats our lovely news for the day! But hopefully this will cure alot of DH's problems and his sleep problems too since he is in so much pain.

I'm coming back in a little while to respond to the most recent "kitchen catch-all", "dipping" posts but just wanted to share some FABULOUS news. Lacey just found out that she's getting an almost $5,000.00 Federal grant for school. We don't have it in writing yet but that's what she was told on the phone. Gotta love those grants.....don't have to pay them back!

That's great! I am getting caught up on this thread then I am going over to your new one, Looking forward to it! Glad you guys had a good time.

I hope you're having a good read. Come on over to the new report when you get finished (or even before).

 

[mickeystoontown]

Since this thread is now mostly just chatter amongst us friends, I thought I'd post Hunter's school day news. He called and said his English teacher told him "you're not in kindergarten anymore!" when he told her that he didn't have his textbook. He asked if he could go to his locker and see if it was there but that he didn't think that she had ever issued him one. She let him go but when he got back she barked at him that he had to pay $5.00 to get another book. Hunter said he really doesn't remember her giving him a book. Instead of making this teacher all ticked off at him for the entire year, I'm going to send the $5.00 (by check so she can't pocket it).

Hunter was pretty upset by the whole ordeal but he's over it now. Thank goodness!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

I had that problem with one of Gwendolyn's teachers her sophomore year. they have to pay a class fee for every class; we knew we had paid it (cash, of course). Well they would not give her her report card until the $3 was paid. So, now I sit down and write a check for anywhere $2-$20 depending per fee. Last year I wrote out 8 checks probably the most I wrote in an entire year. Tell him we believe him and that his teacher is problably just overwhelmed with the start of the new year and would feel really bad if she knew he did not even get a book issued

 

[hhockman]

Poor Hunter. I'm glad he's over it now. That can be pretty traumatic on the third day of school...even if it is HIS fourth day.

Teachers are human too, but it sure did seem like she was kind of mean.

I hope he has a good Friday (and everyone else does too)!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

Poor Hunter. No kid likes to be called out in front of the class. A little over the top. You are right. Send a check made out to the school. Some people really shouldn't be teachers. They do it for the wrong reason. BTW, Don is making a new batch of wine. I'm smelling it as I type. I will pm you so I can get your address. Loving the new report.

I will never forget the time I was in 6th grade. I went to a Catholic School. They were very strict. Tuiton for the school was set up to make payments each month. Well, one time the princepal was in the classroom giving out the report cards. (that is how they did it there!) She gets to my name, which was last because my maidan name starts with a W!! "Danielle W... you won't be receiving your report card today because your parents have yet to make their monthly tuition payment!!!" OMG! How embarrassing!!! In front of the whole class!!! I went home that day so mad at my parents! LOL! Well, they were never late on a tuition payment again!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Thanks for agreeing with me on the teacher situation. I talked with Hunter a little more about it this morning on the way to school. He said the teacher started out nice when he said he didn't have a workbook. Then, when he came back from his locker, she said something like, you just wasted $5.00 of your parents' money by losing your book. Then, some guy came in the room pushing a cart and she said, we've already had somebody start this school year losing a book. When the guy asked who, she pointed Hunter out to him and the entire class. He's the one that actually make the kindergarten comment.

John and I both told Hunter exactly what to say to his teacher today. We even practiced because we didn't want him to say it in such a way that his teacher would think he was being smarty to her.

The teacher is his 7th period teacher so she was probably tired of new kids and school at the end of the day. Still no excuse.

If I didn't want her to be pissed off at Hunter all year long, I'd have called the school up and spoken to her.
