HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!

ohsodis--If only you'd mentioned it before, we'd have been hounding you all this time for advice! The treadmill is my main exercise here at home and I've heard the 6 oclock thing before, but I'm starting today (thanks to you! )!! I really need to start incorporating weights...

4 y/o's: My main memory of this age for my kids is the funny pronunciations:

shopping cart: "carpingshot"
Truck backing up: "the truck beeped up"
lawn mower: "mow lawn"
trimmer/weed whacker: "mow lawn stick"
watermelon: "lattamelon"

So here's my QOTD: What are your favorite mispronunciations from your children?

Hi Rubysmom , it is has quite a few years since I worked there . Lets just say I didn't care for there practices. i moved over to Golds Gym for about 6 months before I realized the drive in was way way too long . I do miss it. I wish I could take 10 years off because I would certainly go back but right now I don't think a 37 year old in spandex is too pretty

The girls just spotted a mosquito in our house , darn it , it never fails I'll be the one to get eaten alive by it . in the summer everyone sits near me because they know if they are close by I will be the only one to get bit hundred times over, DH never even gets one tiny little bit !

Oh, I decided to wait a few more weeks before tanning since I burned last time . i am going to start with only 5 -10 minutes for the first 4 or so sessions. Mketting I hope you find a nicer place to tan , sounds like the place you looked into wasn't so good. I am sporting the slap on tan right now and I have to tell you this stuff is amazing , no streaks !

So here's my QOTD: What are your favorite mispronunciations from your children?

my all time favorite: "mommy, I ring the durnbell?" doorbell
newest one (after having strawberry shortcake the other night) "mommy, I have more whupped cream?" WHUPPED!! I've tried to correct her but it's just so cute!! And somehow she got a little southern accent when she says it! Too much Paula Dean, I think.

PEOPLE!! Muscle weighs more than fat! Remember that! It will keep you sane when you step on the scale. Weigh yourself the same time of day. Not some in the morning and some at night. Within an hour of each time is good. I'm so proud of all of you! You are doing so great! Even those with temporary setbacks, I know you can do it!! Come on! Let's see the melt-off!!! Me, whatever pounds you guys lose, I am finding! Don't send them my way anymore....I have no more room at the inn!!!!


Okay, debated on whether to post this but I'm really nervous about it. Feel like I've dumped on you guys enough lately. I had to call the doctor today because of my cramps and I started spotting. They made me call to reschedule my appt to tomorrow for my sonogram. I never had this with Tori and I'm really nervous and scared about what it is and what it could mean. So, just keep me in your thoughts....I know I won't be sleeping much tonight. Thanks!

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Suzie,

Thinking about you right now, and will continue, don't worry (easier said than done I know).

Tom

 

[suziemva]

Tom, thanks so much! You are such a sweet guy. (I won't tell any of the other pirates, though! Wouldn't want to mess up your image!) I really wished you guys lived closer to us! Your family is so great and so much fun!!

Gonna go upstairs to watch Bones since Lost is a repeat. Prop my feet up, drink some water and relax.

 

[ohsodisney]

Suzie , I know with my friend Kathleen she had that also , it is fairly common. I'm sure you will be fine , but I will be sending my best wishes your way! Please fill us in as soon as you know. Oh, how is your Mimi , is she home now ? Sorry I may have missed a post or two. Seems latley you have so much going on I'm so sorry that you have to endure all this worrying, I bet you are so looking forward to this vacation , you deserve it! The hammock is all yours babe , even if we get there first.

DH just called I'm really missing him now , only 3 more weeks to go


Wow , we are only 6 weeks and 6 days away from our trip

 

[ohsodisney]

What , Lost is a repeat ?

 

[ohsodisney]

Guess it is , what is that episode 6 ?

 

[rubysmom]

Susie--I've worked in OBGYN for almost 13 years...it is VERY common! But that doesnt make it easier on the mom. I will definitely be praying for you and thinking of you...

 

[mketting]

New question for everyone.....

What time do you plan to arrive at the port?

We plan to arrive when the port opens, I believe that is 10:30 right??
Last time it was nice to be one of the first on and to have most of the day on the ship.

 

[rubysmom]

I'm hoping to arrive early as well. Going by the Passporter advice, we'll probably try and get there shortly after 10. Being a first-timer, I figure it will be good to get my bearings, even if it means waiting around doing nothing for awhile.

Okay, BLs, I'm going out on a limb here and going to post my first tickers, one of which is my actual weight loss goal. Don't freak, I know it looks bad...but I have high hopes, okay?!? Besides, it's not a diet...it's a "lifestyle change" right? (The ticker line being pumpkin pie is just my distorted sense of humor )

(btw, do you have to change the weight loss one manually and does the other one countdown on its own or what?)

 

[castlegazer]

I'll be there with ya!


Suzie -

QOTD (rubysmom): man, I can't think of any right now - but one, mblacuuum - it comes out like that. He says tons of stuff weirdly but it goes into my ears and I hear it right. It's tough to think of now. Maybe I should be writing these things down
ohso - girl, you had already told us that. I knew you used to work there. The whole 6 pm thing is a myth that has been disproven. I can attest to it since in the Legislature we always ate late at night and we used to worry about it until one day a group of Docs from Harvard told us it was bunk - just don't overindulge. Its also been in some medical journals now too. (castlegazer says this while eating sherbert it 10 pm at night) Sugar is my killer, well......., that and beer.

OK - just finished cathing up on some scrapbooking sites and now I am off to bediebyebostime!!!!!

TTFN!

Thanks, that's so good to hear. I really do appreciate any advice!

 

[rubysmom]

CG, My MIL is ALWAYS reminding me to write the stuff down, so we have a highly organized system of small pieces of paper with these types of things written on them that tend to hang out near the computer and phone for (amazingly) YEARS on end...

Another favorite, but not mispronouncing: All 4 of us are sitting together talking and the phone rings. DS (age 7, I think) answers it "Knock, knock" accidentally, and we all burst out laughing as he stumbles over himself saying, "I mean...I mean...who's there?" Well we all just LOST IT! and incidentally whoever it was on the other end hung up without saying a thing...probably a telemarketer, because no one we know has ever mentioned it. How's that for getting them to stop calling!

Aw, man! I was really hoping the 6 oclock thing would be my ticket! Oh well, moderation it is, then.

Goodnight, all!

Thanks so much! Grandma is doing great from all that I've heard. We're going to try to see her this weekend if all goes well. Tori has some nasty cough that I'm really hoping is just seasonal allergies starting up. I don't want to expose Mimi to anything, you know. Yes, she's been home for a few days now, I think. I'm starting to lose track of time on things.... I'm just hoping I don't get put on bed rest. My GF told me that that is what happened to her. They put her on two weeks bedrest and then she was fine. I could never do that! I'd be pulling my hair out...not able to get to the computer, go outside, drive, everything!


OOOPS! Meant to tell you that Lost was a repeat. I think it is next week too! What is up with all these repeats? I know they're trying to get something through to us, but if I didn't catch it the first time, I'm not gonna get it now!! I WANT NEW LOST EPISODES!!!

Last time it was nice to be one of the first on and to have most of the day on the ship.

We plan on being there around 10-10:30 am. I really don't like to wait, I'm very impatient, so the quicker I can board and getting on, the better I will be! Plus, we want to get there and then just relax!

Don't forget to pack a day bag until your luggage arrives. Ours didn't arrive until 10:00 pm last time! I was really glad that I packed a sundress for dinner, too. I had visions of them chasing us down at the port, running alongside the waterway trying to throw our luggage on board! It was such a hysterical nightmare that there is no way that would be real, but it was funny!

 

[suziemva]

Partypat - where are you?!?!?!?! Thought for sure I'd see you here tonight!

 

[ohsodisney]

Suzie , Mckenna started a cough two days ago , I am chalking it up to allergies again . She has been on Singular for a year now but we typically don't give it to her unless she needs it . I gave her 2 doses since it started and she is perfectly fine now .

CG, I think the late night snacking is a great debate , has been for many many years . I don't do it since I still believe that when you are sleeping your heart rate drops and that in turn means your metabolism slows so it cannot break up sugars and carbs up like it would during the day. Guess it really is how I was trained too. I'm sure a very light snack would be o.k but not a big fat hot fudge sundae , Oh that sounds so good , in fact I did have 1 at Johnny Rockets Tuesday, they are second in line to the downtown Disney sundae shop.
CG , I wish beer was my killer but it is the mixers for me , beer is cheaper and you can grab it from any store cooler , I never cared for it , Mike's Hard Lemonade is pretty tasty thou . My Dad worked for Bud for 20 or more years and he dropped us of cases and cases every month , along with Bacardi's, oh how I miss that!

Rubysmom, no, it's not the golden ticket sorry , I'm sure you will do well. Sounds like so many of you are doing wonderful anyways. Dieting s**** but think how much more you can eat if you drop a few pounds now.

I am now down 2 more pounds but I don't want to change the ticker counter yet, thats 12 pounds in 3 weeks. I think maybe I made a mistake on letting everyone know about Bally's , it is almost like politics and great debates. What works for 1 does not necessarily work for another. I think we all have ideas of what has worked for us in the past , I just use what I was trained to know , I forgot alot of it since it has been eons ago.

QOTD ,
Holly seems to have no perception of time , so everything she says happened yesterday , even if it was last year

Off to the gym again, it's almost like I'm addicted now . I never feel like going at first but once I drag my bum out of bed and in the car, I'm fine.

Suzie-Our thoughts are with you. Take good care of yourself. It is quite common from what I have heard, but no less difficult for you.

The bracelets came yesterday and MAN am I glad I ordered 2 smalls for the little girls. They fit perfectly. Hannah's is a little big, but the small would never fit her so it is the right size for her.

You are not going to believe this....Katie says Whup cream too! We just call it whup now....Maybe it is PAula's influence cause she is the one who watches her with me. It is our own personal can of whup a**
She also said Mugits instead of Music for years. I was so sad when she finally got it right. We watched Sound of Mugits when she was 2.... Now- she uses big words in the wrong context which is hysterical. She hears Hannah say them but she just intersperses then whenever she feels like saying them. She also says the is thilthy when it is tub time instead of filthy! We get a good chuckle out of that!

We are planning on arriving at 10-10:30, as long as the limo comes on time and we get our grocery stop done in a fast manner. I swear we got there at 10 last time and it didn't seem like too long before we were boarding(specially since we ran into most of our fellow disers before we even boarded).

Alright- time to get going. I will check back later this morning.
PJ

PS-Happy Belated Birthday Abby! Wow 4, I can't believe it. I hope she had a nice birthday!
