[cjsmom97]

Holy Cow, Susan!!! Would you believe it but I haven't weighed yet?!?!? Things have been soooo hectic around here, I am just now finally chatting with Sarah!!! Haven't talked to her for DAYS!!!!

I will try to remember to weigh tomorrow but it is a super busy morning as I have to have Colton to school at 8:40 and drop off Justin and return to Colton's school by 9 am. It is a 10-15 minute drive round trip. Then, I have to be at the school til 9:40 and have the dog at the vet's by 9:30. Does anyone see a problem???!!! HELP!!!! Calgon - take me away!!!!

LOL - very good Ralph!

Have fun at chat tomorrow; I'm still here in Chicago (I don't dare AIM on my laptop!). No worries Vicki, they are keeping me VERY busy here! Dinner tomorrow at House of Blues or....I forget the other option. I'll let you know.

Haven't resolved my BC issue yet; i need to deal with this when I get back.

good night!

Ok, I gotta ask, why don't you AIM on your laptop? Simply work security or is there something I should know about AIM and laptops?! I only use AIM express...you all have me paranoid about using the AIM download now that 2 of your computers have crashed.

John, Thanks!!! I feel much better now and will likely take the plunge to download the real AIM so I can get a few extra features.

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

[disneydreamer1970]

Hi Ya'll!!

Another busy week here!! I so need a vacation!!!

I hope that Susan's leg gets better soon...lots of prayers and pixie dust is on its way!!

Payton is sick today...she had a temp of 103 earlier...she is sleeping...poor baby.

I am really stressing about packing and preparing for vacation...Ken is off to Nevada for the week next week and I need to pack and prepare for Payton's Birthday Party that is being held 2 days before we leave!!!

In 2 weeks, we will be at EPCOT!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!

Have a good night everyone...I am off to start my packing!!

Heather,
I don't Aim on my laptop b/c the putr belongs to my work, and also b/c I'm not really sure what kind of firewall protection I have when I go wireless (like tonite). I trust my firewall on my home computer. but I know my girlfriend's computer was wrecked from her kids' instant messaging, file sharing, etc. I don't know what kind (if any) firewall she had at that time. I bet none.

Jeanna/Vicki - I'm headed to "Phil Stefani's 437 Rush" for dinner, then followed up by House of Blues. Par-ty! I'll let you know how it goes!

G'nite all!

I hate to throw a monkey wrench into everyone's countdown clock but because of a stupid government law, we all get shoved back 1 hour this weekend. Is there no end to this insanity? I need a vacation? . I was happy today till the thought of 1 more hour delay

Maybe if enough people wrote to their senators, we could move the delay to November 20th, at least that way we would get an extra hour of bliss.

You think YOU'RE unhappy?! I have to work Friday nite 12hrs, Saturday nite 13 hours , then Sunday nite 12hrs .

When I work the time change, I find out why our shifts are 12hrs...because 13 is too many!!!!!!

 

[hyandui]

TinaRN, I take by your Dis-name that you are a RN, if so here's to you . for its not just the hours but the challenge, As an Volunteer EMT for 20 years I know you will see alot of different calls during that time, some crazier than others.

Lets see. Wednesday is a total eclipes and Saturday I think is a full moon boy will you be busy.LOL

If it gets to crazy, just close your eyes, click you red velvet shoes together and say "I AM ON THE MAGIC" if you do this 3 times, probably nothing will happen, but al least you can say you tried

Ralph, thanks for the wonderful words of encouragement! It's so nice to be appreciated!

I need to go ship some stuff to Shirley now, but I hope everyone has a great day! BTW nice chat last nite....even though I was quite out of it!!!

 

[adisneymama]

Susan - So sorry to hear about your leg. I hope taking off work and staying off it will make it heal by the time we get on the ship so you can really enjoy yourself and not be in pain while on vacation. Take care and prop up that leg!

Tina - We have friends that are nurses and they have told us some stories! LOL In fact, spent most of Monday night at the ER and saw some of them first hand! You must REALLY love your job! LOL

I hope Payton is feeling better! (((((Get well soon vibes))))))
Like I said, spent most of Monday night at the ER. DH heart raced and he felt like he was going to pass out, blood pressure was high etc. Found out his potassium was VERY low. They think that is the cause. He had an u/s done yesterday and is wearing the 24 hr monitor until about noon today. Then we see a cardiologist later this week. They think the blood pressure med is the cause. His reg GP put him on 2 bp meds and one is a diuretic which could cause the potassium problem. But they have never tested anything so on to the cardiologist to see if he even needs to be on bp meds! Can you believe this? to repeat John....

IS IT NOVEMBER YET!!!!!!!

Ok, got to run, gymnastics this morning. I'll check in with you all later. Hope everyone is doing well. We can't have anymore illnesses or accidents around here.

2:30 at the Prominade Lounge is good as we all have to return to our rooms at 3:30ish to get our life jackets!

Don't forget my sign !!!

 

[PoohJen]

Hi All!
Back from Chicago; had a blast, especially at House of Blues!

I'm sorry to here of everyone's ills and bad strokes of luck redently - time to turn this tide around!

Now, I can't claim this competes with accidents or illnesses, but maybe you can all get a chuckle at my recent aggravation: tonite whilst DH and Ryan were doing homework, Josh was playing trumpet, and I was doing kitchen chores, I had plunked Kieran in the tub. Apparently I failed to ever come back up and tell him to shut off the water. Yes, Josh comes screaming that our downstairs bathroom was flooding, run upstairs to find Kieran playing obliviously in the tub, while the water - still running - is pouring over the sides and across the floor! ##@@@!!!!!!

OMG. Time to crack open that emergency bottle of Baileys...

Oh! btw, the keynote speaker at my lunch yesterday was none other than Disney Chairman of the Board Senator George Mitchell. What an excellant speaker! He took questions at the end, but I refrained from asking whether tropical wear is still acceptable on Pirates night.

 

[adisneymama]

Jen - So sorry about the water! What a mess I am sure! How cool though about your special "keynote" speaker! How did you ever refrain? LOL

Hope everyone is having a good evening.

Susan - How is that leg?

Goodnight!

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

Debbie, the leg is a little better, not to much pain today. Still swollen twice as big as the right one but it will get there.

Jen, I bet you never leave your child in the tub alone again, with the water running, but on a happy note, mopping is good exercise. LOL

Pat, I am in charge of delivery signs and I promise not to forget yours. It's in the binder with the rest of them. Have you heard anything from Andy about the other ones?
