We are officailly booked! Put the deposit down with DU and bought insurance thru insuremytrip.com

I have even started a change fund..... AKA doing laundry

Barb: Being the mom of two boys (18 & 25) I can feel your pain . The good news is they do eventually survive this and go onto bigger problems. Seriously don't sweat it we have all been there in one way or another.

Laura: Congrats on booking I used insuremytrip.com this time also. They were the cheapest I could find that had everything I wanted.

Hi everyone

I just got home from work and I was pleasantly surprised. When DD Lindsay and I went to the Disney's "On the Record" in January, I ordered the CD which was supposed to be sent out in March. I forgot about it and today I received it in the mail. Can't wait to listen to it.

What a beautiful day today was. Hope everyone is enjoying it.

Have to study for a test tomorrow night.

well today was not an easy day - around noontime the middle school principal called me to come pickup Jonathan - he was SUSPENDED for fighting!
obviously i wasnt there so i have no idea what really happened - Jon goes back Wed after I have a morn meeting w/the principal
Dave may be taking Tues off to be home w/him - make sure no tv, PS2, etc

Oh man - he hasnt even made it to teenager hood yet! this IS the first time this has happened

good thing I color my hair - lol

Just keep telling yourself, "It's all an adventure, it's all an adventure...".

Seriously, give Jonathan time to explain what happened from his point of view. IMHO the school is not always right or at least the child is not always ALL wrong. I am sure you will both grow THROUGH the experience. If he were perfect he wouldn't need parents. Good thing he has you. Good luck on Wed.

And remember it is all an adventure!

awww thanks everyone - Dave is home w/Jon today. He did take the tv, PS2, etc away from Jon - Im not sure for how long
Seems there were 4 kids teasing Jon's friend Tyler. Instead of sticking up for Tyler Jon had a fight w/him - thats what Dave's mostly mad about. Suppose to stick up for your friends.

On the other hand its a quiet morn here as they are both still sleeping. Im heading out for my walk soon so I can get myself to work.

Happy Tuesday Morning,

My car was hit by another car on my way to work this morning. Thankfully, no injuries, but my front fender was crushed. The neighbor two doors down from us backed out of her driveway and didn't see me pulling away from our house. I laid on the horn and stopped, but it was too late, she continued pulling out of her driveway. The poor girl was so upset, I told her as long as no one was hurt, that's the main thing. Hazel is on the phone with our insurance company right now.

 

[Laurabearz]

VM... what a wonderful way to start a Tuesday! I have super spidey senses working overtime when I back out of our driveway. 1/2 the houses around here are all pulling out at the same time to take their kids to school. I swear we need a good car pool around here.

Today I have to call our accountant and beg him to do our taxes so late in the game. I finally have all the paperwork. I hate taxes! LOL

 

[Reenieny18]

OH ANDY... I am glad you are all ok.. Please dont tell me she was a teenager....how much damage?? Does this mean a day off from work??


WHO IS LIVING IN VIRGINIA?? I know we have KAREN and I think there was 2 other familes there?? I want to know what the weather is going to be like at VIRGINIA BEACH FOR THIS WEEKEND??? anyone know???

Oh Andy! Glad to hear noone was injured. Have a better afternoon.



I am home with Bryan DS 10 today. He has not felt well since Thursday. I thought over the weekend he would get to feeling better but no luck. I tried to get him to stay home yesterday but got all upset thinking of all the work he would have to make up. So I called his teacher and she talked to him about not having it due until when they get back from vacation. Suppose I should be happy he did not want to miss school but it is awful when they feel as though they can not stay home. What a rat race already for a 4th grader!!

Will sit and watch a movie with him, without his brother. Always positive in the lining somewhere.

Andy,

Glad no one was hurt. I know that sinking feeling as you see it happening.

Brrrr It was cold this morning walking the dog. Where did spring go

oh well back to work,

Catch you all later

 

[Verandah Man]

The whole front fender (bumper) will need to be replaced since it is all one piece. The girl is in her early 20's. She had her daughter in thte car seat and she looked to be about 2 years old. The driver said she was running late for a doctor appointment and as she was backing out, she only looked once, that was a few seconds before I started pulling away from the house. The girl has already been in touch with her insurance company and told them the accident was her fault. A rep from her insurance company will be here in the next few days to look over the car. As luck would have it, the other car on suffered a few scratches to the back bumper.

We're having a good day here...the school nurse just called...Angelina is at the nurses office complaining of a sore throat and earache. Well, at least the car is here so Hazel can take Angelina to the doc this afternoon.

I'll tell you what...it's been quite chilly and windy walking around reading meters this morning. It feels like November instead of April. At least it is and not .

Gotta cancel this cruise. Sorry everyone. I was really looking forward to it

 

[8 Ears]

Terry, say it isn't so! Was so looking forward to meeting you!

Mary

 

[Laurabearz]

Gotta cancel this cruise. Sorry everyone. I was really looking forward to it

((((Hugs)))) I hope it is nothing serious..... ((((Hugs)))

 

[TootyJane]

Gotta cancel this cruise. Sorry everyone. I was really looking forward to it

{{{Terry}}}, I was so looking forward to meeting you and your family!! Hope you having to cancel is nothing serious.

 

[winnyis]

Terry so sorry to hear that you have to cancel. I hope whatever the reason isnt a serious one.

 

[SeaSpray]

Thanks everyone, everything's fine. It's nothing serious at all. I haven't actually called to cancel it yet....I'm holding out to see if something else can be worked out. Long story, but again, nothing at all serious or really bad. I just hate to cancel right now because we got such an excellent rate plus the onboard credit, got the exact cabins we wanted, etc and if we cancel and then decided we could go afterall, it'd cost so much more to rebook it. I'm just feeling kind of down right now, and not sure what to do.
