We are on the opposite end of deck 6. So I have a long walk down the hallway to get up to the drink station for my tea :coffee: in the morning. So if you see me stumbling past say hello. I need my tea before I am human. I am an early riser and DH likes to sleep in so I usually get my tea and plan out the day while he sleeps. Then again you are night owls so you might still be asleep too.:lmao: I will try to be quiet.
LOL
Depending on how early some of you "rise"- I may still be awake! When i say night owl I mean NIGHT owl.. not late evening owl. LOL ;) Although I may not be out on the deck like last time- writing in my journal and such... this time I'll have a verandah! ;)

BIP, the transfers really aren't that hard. You can pick up cheap t-shirts at Michael's when they have them for $2.50 or sometime 5 for $10. The transfer paper you can get almost anywhere, from Mike to Walmart. I learned that it is best to wash the shirts first (don't use softener). Dry with no dryer sheets. Use a dry iron (steam doesn't do a good job of adhering it) on a firm surface. I use the top of the washer with a towel on top. I did bowling shirts for one of dd's birthday parties and they turned out cute.


Strange how Crash never answer my question. What excatly is "Psychic Surgery?" :confused3

Somewhat sunny here today and another day baseball game.
But you have to print them right? And all I have- that works with our computer now that we have vista on the new computers- is the silly little cheap printers the pc came with. now if I could use my lexmark with these computers (stupid vista, stupid stupid vista and noncompatibility with my precious lexmark!) that would be a different story...


Nope i think our application beat the land speed record. Applied for them on a Saturday.... (the PO overnighted them to Philly processing office on Monday AM. We had them back in our mail the next Saturday. So just barely 5 business days for us.) And i didn't pay for expedited either....



You want another one..... Permenantly......

I'm not kidding either....

Right now her cell phone is still shut off... and she's been screaming at us all night for the past three nights....

My DH's wallet and my phone disappeared this morning. At least my phone materialized at the HS though but i needed to pick it up so was late for work..

And on top of this she's refusing to take her meds...(ADD/ODD) :headache:

Anyone here a social worker or know how foster homes work....?

Who am i kidding? No one would take her..they'd beg me to take her back...

My only solution at this point is to change the locks on our doors and she'll just have to wait till we get home from work to be escorted inside...

Hmm, sounds kinda familiar. I wonder why. :lmao:
Well, she isn't exactly screaming at us- because she knows that wouldn't fly- but grumpiness and getting in more trouble than she's already in - for yelling at her siblings- yes. Trying to "forget" to take her meds (ADHD/ODD- see the similarities? LOL) -yes. She's had her tv unplugged, cellphone taken away, no computer and no gameboy for MONTHS now and if she doesn't straighten up, bring those grades back up, etc. it will stay that way. (she isn't allowed to try out for cheerleader next year either. I know, we're mean parents but what-ev. Straight A student dropping to C's and a FAILING GRADE on this last progress report... scared to death what it will be on the report card considering that's the class she gets highschool credit for... algebra 1... this year she's a cheerleader well cheerleading hits the road, is all I'm gonna say! Sure she's not happy about it but again whatev.

Now OmG about the stealing wallet and phone. omg omg omg... that's pretty serious but although our daughter doesn't seem to be the least bit scared of us- I think she's the tiniest bit scared enough to not go THAT far... but she does keep taking stuff like my expensive makeup (which I hardly ever use but that's not the point!), hairbrushes even though she has like 40 or so all over the place, sweets to the point that she's gained a bunch of weight "mysteriously" -which obviously does not help the ADHD to have all that sugar, etc.

I'm sorry you're going thru this but you posting that makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only one going thru it and maybe she's more normal for a teen than I thought. LOL I mean seriously- my 10yr old and 7yr old behave 10x better than her! ST's.. ugh

BIP and others, another reason to get a passport ASAP, is this new Real ID law. Starting soon, you supposedly won't be able to board airplanes if you State isn't in compliance or has an extension.
I don't know what the real ID law is about. DL's are not good enough anymore?
 
AWESOME!!! Congrats! Must be a big weight off you!
-Penny

Thanks! It really is! I feel so much lighter today! ;) Now maybe I should concentrate on really taking some of this weight off!

[giving up on the subtle approach]

Maybe someone on this thread who has GTY status should try and see if it works. Can't hurt....

Sorry I have my room assignment so it won't be me calling! :goodvibes

Hi Diane :flower3:


Congrats on completing your thesis:yay: .

SO, you did the run too, huh? Did you all meet up at the RTE 3 South rest area too??? :laughing:

:wave2: We usually hit the NH Liquor store up on 95N!

Today? LOL

Congratulations_3176.jpg

:lmao: Thanks!!!

BRAVO :cheer2: Congratulations ... you must be SOOO relieved.

Thank you I am! I will still have to add/edit ect. whatever the professor tells me I need to do, but at least the worst of it is over...I hope!
 
I don't know why they don't just let people do that. You would think they would want to make people happy. :confused3



Your poor kids will look back on your vacations together & say, "Gee Mom didn't we go on that trip with you?"

Sorry I'm in a smart add mood today! :laughing: Must be because I sent my COMPLETED thesis to my professor yesterday. Other than the table of contents & reference page, but that doesn't have to go until the final draft. And I filled out my "intent to graduate" form! Had a little problem with that since I procrastinated so much they had dropped me as a student! :rolleyes1 Well the registrars office was very nice & I just had to fill out an extra form, but all set now...I hope! :yay:

:faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Glad to hear you finally got the thesis done.

Sorry, can't help. I've been assigned since day 1. Got the sideways Cat 11 that I asked for.

:dance3: party: :dance3:

Congrats Diane!!
 
Beautiful. I get up early to shoot also. I hate having people in my pictures.

Yeah just don't show up in the gym in the AM and interrupt my "git rid of dessert time"...nothing could be worse than gym photos...

On this cruise... nevermind...:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Uhhhh :laughing: i had that thought too

LOL I mean seriously- my 10yr old and 7yr old behave 10x better than her! ST's.. ugh

Think of it as normal for a kid with ADHD/ODD...

DH refused to have any more kids...in case #2 would have turned out worse...

That's fantastic Diane! Congrats!
 
I thought tday was going to be just an average day (ok with the kids trying to pull April Fool's jokes on me:rotfl2: ).But it wasn't!

So today one of my kids at my afterschool program-child happensto be on the autism spectrum-cleaned up an area with out being asked (huge deal for this guy!)So,because I love positive reinforcement,I made a big deal when mom came to pick him up. Put my arm around his shoulder and thanked him and said "you did such a great job! Thanks for helping out!".He then gave me a hug:hug: and a kiss on the cheek! (Big deal because he is not a touchy feely kid. I also knew it was huge because mom had to pick her jaw up off the ground!)

So with an event like that makes me feel as if I made a difference in at least one little guy's life!:cloud9:

Just wanted to share.

Chrissie

Thanks for sharing Chrissie. That such a good feeling. :hug:
 
lol


Sorry, can't help. I've been assigned since day 1. Got the sideways Cat 11 that I asked for.

Monica,
Have you stayed in one of the sideways cabins before? Ours is a Cat 11 sideways too, but I have never stayed in one before. So I am wondering what is different (better) about them. I think we were just lucky. Had a AAA TA book our cruise.
 
Right now her cell phone is still shut off... and she's been screaming at us all night for the past three nights....

My DH's wallet and my phone disappeared this morning. At least my phone materialized at the HS though but i needed to pick it up so was late for work..

Sorry to hear about this . . .:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: to you and everyone else trying to figure out what to do with their ST . . .

OK, today is a good day.......

I don't know how I did it, but I just got my cabin number changed by calling and asking. I was left on hold for about 5 minutes (brings back memories) and they came back with a perfect location - 8586, right outside the AFT lifts. Now I can stumble up to make my morning coffee without scaring TOO many people :laughing:

Glad to hear things are going well with you, Mary Ann!:flower3:

Big Announcement Everyone!!!! I got a new job! They fired my boss (great guy) & have been beating on me... I went looking & stumbled upon this job (very unexpected). Better hours, no looking over my shoulder, little more money.... & they're OK with my TOAL.:thumbsup2 I should be happy but have mixed feelings... I feel like I'm letting down my kids & parents (I've been working at a boys & girls club).... but I just can't face working for the people who have taken over. Very bitter/sweet decision.:sad2: Gonna be lots of tears when I tell the kids (if they let me). Going to give notice on Monday... we'll see if they walk me out. I'm going to really miss the kids...:sad1:
-Penny

:cheer2: Congrats!:cheer2:

Don't feel badly -- there are lots of ways to make the world a better place, and you will find your way to another one . . . the new job sounds perfect for you and it's obviously meant to be.

Congrats :cheer2: Although I will confess to being a bit jealous ... I've been searching and interviewing like crazy since January and nothing has popped yet. I'll keep plugging along and sending out those resumes, but I can't help but think it was a lot easier for me to get a job as a recent college grad than it has been to get a job as a professional with tons of years of experience :rolleyes:

Don't give up -- sometimes places are strangely spooked by someone with experience!:sad2: Something will work out eventually:hug:

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:Congrats!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

That's funny about them dropping you as a student because you were taking so long, though:rotfl2:

Looks like we are going to have quite a group trudging up the stairs from deck 2in the early morning. Maybe we should all get placards saying "Danger! Do not attempt to engage this person in conversation until coffee has been consumed."

I won't leave the cabin until coffee has been delivered and I've had at least a few cups! It's one of the tremendous benefits of the cruise -- put the card out the night before, use its delivery as a wake up call, and then have breakfast once semi-caffeinated . . .

Unfortunately I usually wake up way before the rest of the family. I don't want to disturb them with room service so I usually trudge off to get my caffeine fix and retrieve some goodies for the rest of the family when they awake. I usually find a quite spot on Deck 10 to consume my caffeine so that I don't have to interact with anyone. Ask my DW about how I am prior to coffee :scared1: .

That's very considerate! My girls sleep through the room service delivery and I go on the balcony to get caffeinated . . . here at home I don't know what chaos would erupt if one of them happened to get up before I had a few cups . . .
