I'm outta here. I need to go do some laundry then hit the sack. I wish it was this kind of laundry but it's the real thing .

Have fun getting to that milestone tonight.
Ang

G'nite, Ang. Milestone? Oh, I guess there is one coming up.

 

[CajunGirl2]

I actually bought it, after thinking it was one of those 'skip' pictures. It's actually a lot better than the commercials made it out to be. More than enough injokes to keep everyone happy.

We'll have it at home until Tuesday. Maybe I'll take time to watch it while I'm on the treadmill Monday morning. It just got such bad reviews that I didn't even want to give it a chance.

We've ALREADY started the emotional roller coster & Emily is only 5.5! Tonight she cried uncontrollably because her gymnastics class was cancelled but Ashley's was not. Does that mean I'm in for big trouble once she hits teen years???

Ang

No, that just means you need to change gyms, drive 45 miles each way, and go to one that has it every night. No exceptions. That way she will never cry when there is no gym. She will enjoy the night off.

Don't ask me. Matt turns 16 tomorrow. My neighbors tell me every year it just gets worst. The problems are bigger. That's not what you want to hear, but that is what I am finding out.

No, I was hoping it would get easier with boys, and you're telling me it gets worse! Noooooooooo.

It's a beautiful evening here. We took the dogs for a walk down the road and back. The only thing is that we have an invisible fence, so to take them for a walk I have to put them in the van, back out to the end of the driveway and let them out. We didn't train them to have a 'gate' to walk through. They won't get anywhere near where the wire is buried.

We thought ours that once the collar is off she can go out the driveway with her lease on. It took a couple of times, but she got it pretty quickly. You might want to try it.

It also helps to put prime rib bones at the end of the driveway. She would go through a lot of pain, and inflict a lot, to get a bone.

I have not seen it. Thanks for the adult recommendation. Since it is not coming from Ohio I'll take the recommendation.

It's been a while since I (insert pokey guy here).

I'll have Matt post it. He was there first hand.

The story!!!​

It happened on the 1st night of the cruise. It was 2 A.M. and the program had just ended, so Greg and I were going to walk Brittany and Jordan back to there rooms as any nice gentlemen would. We went to Brittany's room first and she got in ok. Then here it is were it gets interesting, the three of us get to Jordan's room and she then remembers that she left her card inside of the cabin. So we knock, bang, and call her room so that somebody would walk up and let her in. Her mother (Stacy) just happened to take some pain medication that night so she was out like a light. So she decided that she would wait in the hall until somebody woke up. When Greg and I heard that we decided we should stay and keep her company until she got in safely. Then we just talked for close to 2 hours before we all started to fall asleep. I woke up around 4:30, saw them both sleeping and decided to leave. I got to my room and went to bed. Latter that night Greg left also, so that left just Jordan alone but, asleep. Sometime between when he left and when her dad woke up the crew gave her a pillow and a blanket.

What we should have done after we realized she had no card was to go down to Guest Services and get her a new one, but then there would be no story would there.

KT's always been emotional, and dramatic to boot....so the emotions are one part of it, but the need to be dramatic about the emotions makes it worse. And they get worse at night.....not because she's more tired....but because we have heat mirror windows and they are very reflective at night and so our house has, basically, mirrors on all outside walls......which she LOVES to watch as she has her fits!

So it's 4 am on the first night of a 10 day cruise. I wake up to see my son walk in. He was told to be in when the program ends, which is 2 am. "Go to bed. We will talk about this in a few hours". I'm thinking this is going to be a long cruise when he breaks the rules on the first night.

He gave us the story before breakfast. It sounded to, to, to everything to be true. We saw Stacey at breakfast and she confirmed. Three kids slept outside her room instead of going to guest services. Teenagers, it never gets easier.

Sorry, can't tell you. We're just STARTING the roller coaster emotions here. 11 yr old dd was crying hysterically before ballet b/c she couldn't get her hair in a pony tail tonight.

And, I myself, was never a problem teen.

Must be the day of the tweens, we also had some drama but not to go on these boards

 

[tinksdad]

PLEASE don't be too deep or else you will lose some of us!

How about this??
