Good luck Angie at the Doctor.


Hope all the kids get well

Hey everyone!

Hope you had a great Mother's day! I did -and it caught me by surprise. Usually Mother's day is just another day here- well except for the lovely homemade stuff the kids make for me which is always plenty enough for me- my favorite gifts! DH knows I think cards and flowers are such a waste of money (can you tell who is the tightwad of this family? LOL) but he ignored that this year- card and dozen roses and he took us out to eat last night! Too expensive for my blood but we enjoyed it and I wasn't about to rain on his parade and veto the eating out thing. LOL

I received my docs the other day- I did have to email my TA to ask about them though- but they came within a few days after emailing them!

I received the shirts and the excursion bag also. The shirts are so nice and so is the bag! The bag is bigger than I thought- poor DH... I'm sure I'll have it filled to the gills (so to speak) and he'll be the one lugging it around. LOL The shirts are really cool- y'all did a fantastic job on them! The kids shirts are way way huge- nothing a few washes and drying on hot won't correct though I'm sure. The adult shirts a wee bit on the small side- but still wearable. Just don't make fun of us in our tight shirts and we'll be fine, mkay? LOL I'm glad we went with tees- the polos might have been even tighter!

Did anyone have any ideas on where to go to get some beer and perhaps a little "other" alcohol on the way to GF? We get a grocery shop on the way to GF before the cruise and we'd like to know the best place to go (read: cheapest) instead of just going wherever the limo driver wants to take us. LMK by PM if you have any ideas?

If anyone has dived with Martin before- aren't you supposed to get some voucher thing? We sent our deposit ages ago and received the confirmation email but everytime I email Martin about the voucher he responds in a way that doesn't really answer my question. I thought the website said something about a voucher- not sure how we get that or if it's necessary to have with us when we get there. ??

Hope everyone has a great day today! Y'all talk too much for me to keep up- for real. LOL

nah, just make him the poor man's dark and stormy. put some dark in (coca-cola) and stir it very vigorously with a straw. dark and stormy.

btw, i think it was VERY insensitive of him to ask you for a dark and stormy considering what you went through last year. but that's my humble opinion!!!

Believe me, no offense taken. I never even thought about THAT.

Hi all. Thought I would check in. Just finished watching Grey's Anatomy. Really enjoyed it tonight and can't wait for the finale tomorrow night. I was shocked at tonights ending, didn't think that would happen to Burke.

I could not believe it either. BUT I am not sure that I can watch the final finale tonight. I might need you to give me a big white-out section since I seem to be the only person on this board without TIVO or the such!

I was awakened by Emily at the same time! She was complaining of a stomach ache & headache... she didn't have fever. I gave her Motrin & told her to go back to sleep. Hope she makes it all day at school today. If I didn't have my appt. today, I may have kept her home.

Ang

Oh no! I hope Emily makes it through the day at school.

Just back from the pediatrician... it's an ear infection. Lovely. Well, better now than in 2 weeks!

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, I was greeted by the FedEx truck as I came down the stairs this am--so t-shirts are here as well as docs. Nice. Thank you Pam and TA!
Now for laundry, shopping, and packing.

We are really looking forward to meeting all of you in less than 2 weeks. It is really amazing that we can "meet" online, before we even meet on the ship!

Well, have a good day.

Good morning everyone! Had a lousy night last night. Erin woke up at 3:30 saying that her left ear hurt. A lot. Crying. I didn't see anything obvious, so we gave her some Tylenol and let her spend the rest of the night with me in our bed. (Poor Jim had to go down to the guest room, where the bed's covered with stuff for the trip.) Erin's still sleeping, so I don't know how she's doing this morning. May be a trip to the doctor in our forecast (along with a lot of rain, apparently) today.

Well, better today than in two weeks!

Have a good day everyone.

--Samantha

Prayers and PD headed to you!

My DD goes Wed. morn to see if she is clear for swimming since surgery last month. Cross your fingers for her. It has been a tough month since EVERY SINGLE KID in her clas has had a swimming party. She opted to skip them all vs being with her friends and not swimming. (Ok, this was probably a character building moment, and I am sure that some out there would have
made their kids go, but I don't mind missing a few b-day parties, so...)


WOOHOO! A UTOP with Samantha, sick kids, and swimming. (What great alliteration!)

 

[sjtracey]

Today is packing day. I have my little guy home today, too. He was running a temp Saturday night and yesterday, he even fell asleep on the couch yesterday and that is not normal for this guy. So, he puts a damper on the speed I would do things, but that's ok. I have to go to the bank, Staples, A.C. Moore(like Michael's) and Applebee's for gift certificates for CCD(religion instruction) teachers. Today is the last day...hoooorrraaay!! We only have 9 days before things need to be final and we leave. STILL haven't received shirts and bag yet, but I'm hopeful for today. C'mon FEDEX man!

Poor thing! Hope he's feeling better real soon!

Come on! Let's get all our kiddos healthy!!!

--Samantha

I go to the surgeon today. They'll do a ct-scan before I meet with him. I'll find out how the fusion is progressing. Wish me luck!

Angie,

PS... Izzie is an idiot.

AMEN! Had a good laugh over the Drs. Shepherds and their public fight!

Thanks for the reminder about Pres. delay. Good timing for me since I have something that must be done tonight. I am just hoping that nothing good is coming on tomorrow night 'cause I HAVE to go to graduation from 6:30 to 10:30. (the joys of being a HS teacher!)

 

[gptmba]

I received my docs the other day- I did have to email my TA to ask about them though- but they came within a few days after emailing them!

Gee, what day exactly did you receive them? Basically, before or after Sat. (I think it has been decided I'm last in that race!)

 

[tinksdad]

All of your door signs look so good. I hope I could live up to the creativity on this board. I will try tonight to do better.

Kevin - is it OK if I use that moonlight picture you e-mailed me for a door sign? I love that shot.

I guess I better get going before it starts to rain here. Been pretty soggy this weekend. Catch y'all at lunchtime.

Certainly!!

 

[ohiominnie]

N.O.P.E.

Good one! I love it!

 

[ohiominnie]

STILL haven't received shirts and bag yet, but I'm hopeful for today. C'mon FEDEX man!

JUST GOT OURS!! YIPPIE! They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

 

[ohiominnie]

Believe me, no offense taken. I never even thought about THAT.

Of course you didn't. It's just my sick sense of humor!

Hope everyone has a great day today! Y'all talk too much for me to keep up- for real. LOL

The last time we dived with them, we just paid in cash before the dives. Don't forget, it is Mexico and they are (how you say) "laid back"!! I would take a copy of the payment and/or email and he and Bryce will be fine!! They run at least four boats if memory serves.

 

[Dancind]

Now remember... the finale tonight will be delayed because W. is speaking at 8PM (Eastern time)... how DARE he!!! Love the man dearly, support him 100%, but DON'T interfere with the finale of GA!!!!!!!

PS... Izzie is an idiot.

OH MY, that looks like quite a horror story, doesn't it? And I really like Denny, looks like he will not be a regular. I was somewhat distracted trying to figure out where I knew the restaurant manager from. Finally got it, he's a recurring character on Veronica Mars.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Gee, what day exactly did you receive them? Basically, before or after Sat. (I think it has been decided I'm last in that race!)

um, I forget what day but definitely before Sat. It was either Thurs or Friday.

Thanks for the info tinksdad. We only sent half as deposit- so I'll bring the email confirmation and the other half with us.

 

[justmestace]

Would you go pack something????

At least that head has more hair than the other head!

Dunno, are you an American Idol fan? That's on. Thank goodness for our DVR. We will be taping the finale of AI and Lost, so if we don't get to watch them, we can see them when we get home.
