My body says Hey it's wake up time!
The clock says umm kind of early isn't it?
Oh well gives me time to watch the news and slowly pull myself together for a rainy day.

So umm staley any progress? I hope you get your wish for labor to begin now
I had membranes stripped with n at my 40 week checkup
Had him on his due date the very next morning.
Hopefully that worked for you !

Big hugs to all of you
Have a great day everyone!

NO BABIES TODAY. The stupid f-ing hospital canceled my FREAKING induction. THEY dont think I am ready. So THEY want me to wait another WEEK. CHeap f-ing *******s. My Dr. called this morning and told me to some into her office so we could try to get labor going.. She checked me, and I am dilated to 3cm already. So she stretched my cervix... sending me into some LOVELY contractions, and she said that she could feel the baby's head pushing down during my contractions.. So that is good. I go back tomorrow for more stretching. If nothing works, and I am still pregnant this weekend.. I am DEFINITELY being induced Sunday. The nly good news is after all this.. my labor will probably fly by since I am already progressing. I am so bummed.

Well phooey!

I was hoping to get on today and get some good news.

Hang in there lady!

Just remember, that the longer those little ones are still in you, the better off they will be. I hope that makes you feel somewhat better?

Take care sweetie!

Melody

I think colder is better than hotter. I'm just hoping it won't rain this weekend.

Hey guys!!!

Staley to you - hang in there!!! The babies can't stay in there forever!!!

I came here today to check on you, but alas, still no babies.

I will throw out a brief update, before I am back off to work. Worked 48 hours last week , and it will probably be the same for this week too . Sadly, this will probably continue for awhile.

We have a major tour with the big bosses tomorrow that has been keeping us busy. We re-did our whole menu, added some things and actually have some really yummy sandwiches that I was terrified of

Friday we are off to Prescott to see how DD does in the regional science fair, then we drive to the valley. Saturday is my Grandparent's 60th anniversary - so that sounds like loads of fun . I already have quite a list of stores that we have to hit (we got nothin' here, seriously peoples) and then we have to rush back Saturday night, so I can work again on Sunday

I will definitely keep looking for baby updates though

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

I'm super busy at work today but I don't feel like doing any thing. I'm ready for Friday already!

Went to Walgreens at lunch today...with my shopping ad list and pile of coupons. Get to the checkout and I'm pleasantly asked if I could please step to the other Coupon Clippper Special Service Register. WTH??

A nearby asst. manager ran to the register and very quickly and efficiently rang up my purchase, he said he would say each price aloud and if anything seemed the wrong price please let him know right away, then he quickly scanned all the coupons. I inquired, why the special service??

He said that all customers with large amounts of coupons deserve special service. He has the capability to override incorrect prices and take questionable coupons. It speeds up the regular line and speeds us coupon clippers up as well. No angry customers when the coupons don't ring up right, no waiting for someone with a key to override or make corrections. It worked great!

Of course I joked that us coupon clippers caused problems. But he reassured me that they very much value their coupon clippers, winked and told me "we make money on coupons"! They sell the product, get reimbursed for the coupon amount, plus 8 cents extra. So overall he said, we get 8 cents more for each product that you purchase as compared to a non-coupon clipper customer. He laughed and said that their store just made an extra 72 cents from the 9 coupons that I used! Not only that, he said that some manufacturers give them the option of taking the extra 8 cents or getting even more by taking 16 cents worth of free product for each coupon on their next order.

Guess the stores are finally figuring out how to make coupons work to their advantage, the manufacturers are probably happy because they know most merchants will choose extra free product, so they continue to get shelf space. Geez, we all win with coupons!

 

[funnygarcia]

wow busy dizzy!
I thought of you when I was on small world , the room with the African mask that reminds us of your trademark scolding shaking head smilies

Awesomeness at walgreen's
I wonder if they will make that a chainwide policy
It would be a huge incentive for couponers, I know several people who refuse to shop at walmart because of bad customer service when using coupons.
My local yahoo coupon group discusses which stores give them a hassle and those stores that do well. Enough that we avoid certain locations , driving out of our area to shop at the " good " ones.
Bravo to Wags for doing it right!

So I think I overdid it yesterday, my leg muscles are screaming at me. I'm on strolling speed with lots of resting stops today. Rained hard off and on all morning , love my umbrella today
Crowds picked up when the rain stopped but overall smaller than yesterday.
Did a few walk on for rides, another round of single rider at midway mania
Fun stuff

Bought wooly mammoth crocs as I was sliding everywhere in my worn out ones. Pricey but compared to a hospital bill to treat a broken bone ..... Priceless!

More rain, gave up and went back to hotel a little early.

There is a mallard mama duck that has enraptures guests and cast members.
She has a flock of babies following her all around the carts in front of the castle. They move fast but I believe there are a dozen in her brood. My thoughts if a mama duck of a dozen can safely raise her young at DL then Megan will be just fine with her soon to be brood of four

One of the security CMs follows the ducklings to make sure No one touches the babies. He was worried momma duck would anandon them.

It was too funny and cute at the popcorn cart, the cm looked down and suddenly he was surrounded by ducklings . He had to wait for them to go around his cart and back to momma duck.
They still have that fuzzy wobbly look and go peep peep. Extremely cute to see they have adapted to life at DL. They ignore the crowds following and taking pictures. It was puzzling to the security cm why momma duck had them out during a busy evening .
E had a duck as a pet, he told me when the ducking first began to quack that it would startle itself. Peep peep QUACK

 

[sameyeyam]

Everybody here seems coupon friendly, except for Winco. They have a big sign up that internet coupons are not accepted due to fraud. Seems strange to me, especially now that the legitimate internet coupons all have bar codes. I would think they could just say only scannable internet coupons.

Those duckies sound cute B! A sure sign that spring is right around the corner.

UPDATE Megan is at the hospital having her cubs will give more info when the babies come

I had a blast today
Very mellow mood as I left which felt wonderful

I was sitting after I ate , just watching people on Main street
Noticed Jasmine and Aladdin trying to make their way to their meet and greet area
They didn't get far as a crowd developed around them
Watching the interactions and here the
Mad Hatter and Alice come sneaking by my table
Hatter tried to startle Aladdin by making noise behind him, they had a good laugh
Then alice and the mad hatter sat at my table
Perfectly in character the whole time and they took turns telling me jokes
Eventually other guests noticed them sitting with me and began to invade
I said my goodbyes and walked with a lighter step for the rest of the night

It's not the first time Mad Hatter has sought me out, one recognized me and the boys at Goofy's . We had an interaction inside DL the year before
I believe it was the same cast member this time too .
You know you are a Disney nut when the cast begin to recognize you, and you know them by name ( like a certain CM at plaza inn that is a poster on the DIS , today she was filling at the corn dog cart ..I was like Hey I know you LOL)

Wow, what fun! I had a Mad Hatter and Alice encounter about 2 years ago. I asked if I could take a pic with them and my little sister was with me (my older sister was waiting for her friends at the gate and we were sitting on Main Street). Next thing you know the Mad Hatter and Alice linked elbows with me and told me to walk and skip with them. Then they started walking all zig zag and crazy and making me crazy. Then they stop and point at this little boy and say: " *GASP* That's T's evil brother!" They led me around in a crazy pattern and finally let me take a pic with them.

OMG! I'm so excited for you Staley!! I can't wait to hear your update. We are all here for you chica!!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I'm going to make a CD and then hit the hay. Gotta wake up early to beat traffic. I hope you guys have a good day.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Drive by as I never seem to be on when anyone else is. Staley, did you have those babies yet? I hope you are comfortably holding them by now!

With the baby news Staley brings I wont even go into what we have been through. Lets just say in the last week I've been to a funeral and have been crying nonstop. I wont say specifics though. My family is fine so no worries there.

Melody I j ust scanned through and I see your sister is sick. I'm just scanning so if I missed anything forgive me but how did the surgery go? I hope well. I will pray for her.

My inlaws were just here, devil beasts both of them. Luckily we were busy with Morgan's competition so I didnt see them much.

Jake and I are headed to San Diego tomorrow. If he had a pass I would come up to Disneyland for a few hours tomorrow but he doesn't My brother is moving so I am going to help him pack up.

Bernice, how long are you there for?

I hope Alex, Sam, pixster, Sarah Christina and dizzy are all doing good. If I left anyone out forgive me I didnt mean to!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Wait a sec, this is the girls only weekend. DUH! Maybe I can swing by to say hi to you ladies on the way to San Diego tomorrow. My brain is not fully functioning right now but that might be possible. Who is there? Bernice? Melody? Pix? Anyone else? I should have figured this out earlier. Someone call me but I cannot post my number here. LOL!

BTW, I miss you guys. Pix sent me a message on facebook which is easy for me to get on and post something quick and get off. I have been so not in the computer mood lately. I need to come and chat more.

Sorry to hear that you haven't been having a very good last little while Shawna. We all miss you on here but take some time for you and I hope you get some sunshine in the coming days. Sunshine in your life not in the sky, all though some sun in the sky around here sounds nice.
