Forget lunch...just go and price something!

The only thing I am interested in pricing is cold medicine and a bottle of Vicks Vaporub....

Hi Shelley!!!!

Hi Everybody. We booked this cruise when onboard in 12/04 but I just started looking at the boards.

My husband and I (age 41/42) will be cruising with our 6 year old daughter (first grade). Do any of you have girls that age that will be onboard?

Thanks,
Shelley

WELCOME SHELLLY!!!!!!

We are all so glad to have you join our group!!!! Look at the first post on this thread. If you give your info to Lisa she can hook you up with our website then you will know who is going and what age the kids are!

I also would like to add that I think we were behaving fairly well until BRANDI came in and started talking about pricing....

Twins will do that to ya Becka!

Just remember in case anyone asks that Amy (waltsgirl) and I are the shy ones.

Oh Please Oh Please Oh PLEASE!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

 

[MommyMinnie]

Oh, yeah. She also said to have a great time! Since this is a summer resort area, the teachers are very used to kids going on vacation during school.

You are Soooo lucky! If DD misses more than 5 days of school unexcused (this is unexcused) she is considered truant. Then I can face visits from "officers" fines, or jail time. I don't seriously think those things will happen, they are really just threats but they do wave them about enough.

And the teachers are 0% cooperative about pulling together homework beforehand. If they have it ready they will give it to her before we leave we will get it, if not then we get it when we get home. Then she will have 1 school day to turn it in after we get back.

NOBODY cares that we are visiting two archelogical (check my spelling Elaine) sites in Mexico.

Can you tell I'm annoyed?

OK, OK....maybe Amy isn't as shy as she says....

Pricing while under the influence of Vicks could be fun...why not?

It sounds like you needed the day off....maybe DH should have crunched numbers for you today!

You left yourself wide open.....and that was BEFORE I knew I was supposed to be good!

I would be annoyed too Patsy. Does she have more than one teacher now? Even in DD's new school, they were talking about being absent in general and they have one day for each day absent to make up work. They also have a new "ZERO" policy. It is the teachers avoiding giving students a zero for anything. If they don't have their homework, they have to stay after school to finish it. It's new and they aren't sure how it is going to work. I think the concept is to get them to do their homework so they don't have to stay after and to not get them discouraged if they happen to forget something and have a big zero to average into their grade.

That is very unfair! I have to say that the district where I live and the one where I work are wonderful about these kinds of things. The one where I work has many many poor familys and most do not travel at all...so it really isn't an issue. The one where I live has alot of the wealthier people in our county who do travel alot. They district is accustomed to school year travel.

All I was doing was looking for restaurant suggestions for lunch? How is that not innocent?

 

[klineyqueen]

You only give her an hour or so of sanity??

You mean that's not sufficient?

 

[becka]

You mean that's not sufficient?

Apparently not for some people......

Well guys I have a 1:30 meeting so I should get back to work. I will try to check in later.
