Chicago area Diser's - check in here Part 3

[Bunchkin]

HI EVERYONE!!!


Thanks for all the concern everyone!!!
I'm doing good!!!

Just super busy!!!! WAY TOO BUSY!!!
I've not been online in forever!!!

Thanks for all the PM's for those who sent them!! I appreciate the concern.
For those of you who have my phone numbers, use them!!! It's easier to get me via the phone then here on the DIS!!!!



Gotta run!!!
I'll try to check in next week!!!!



And for the person, you know who you are, that called today!!!.....LEAVE A MESSAGE NEXT TIME!!!!
I often check my messages while I'm out, so if you don't leave one I can't call you back right away!!! I did, however, try calling you but you were gone for the day!!

 

[paintnolish]

Argh, Maties! Thar be lots of incredibly lame jokes about Pirate Day on the news this morning-so bad I won't even repeat them!
Bunchkin- You're still alive! I've been wondering where you were!
Jedi- Cute pic of h and you
Slo- Hope dd is feeling better soon. DD has recently branched out in her eating, so I hope yours does, too.
Brr! Was it cold today! I guess it did not help that I was wearing shorts. I had planned on going to the gym, but ran out on some errands first, and one thing led to the next...I never made it there. I did, however, engage in plenty of cardio shopping. I think that counts. Then I had to rush home and shower for school. Now, I have some reading to do, which will most likely put me to sleep very soon.
Night all!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Hello everyone. Read all the posts. Glad you're all still alive and kicking in this nice warm weather. 19 more days for us. I'll just keep reminding myself of this when I walk outside to leave in the frosty cold tomorrow morning. By the way, I hate winter.!!! I am the worst grouch, depressed person for months. I think I need that light therapy. Of course, DIS therapy is good too.
Slo, hope Katie is better soon. Cheerios and fruit and fibre yogurt. My DS goes daily no trouble.
Alright you all. Off to bed for me.
NIGHTY NIGHT!!

 

[rmom50]

Bunchkin - glad you're ok!

DMMichelle - you really have to say hi more often too.

Jedi - I've never been to the DW bakery either, but I'm eating everything this trip!

Slo - we had a 'problem' with one of our kids in that area too. Dr. suggested fiber when he was quite young. They make stuff you can sprinkle on food now so they don't have to even know they're taking it. Actually - we all should be doing it. It really worked for him right away - and not violently or unpleasantly. You could ask Dr.

Hi Chicago icicles!

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning! I am so not ready for this cold weather. I like fall but only with warm weather.

macraven Thanks for the offer to call at midnight but I think I'll pass. Used to get to many calls in the wee hours from DEX. He is a ::cop: he would call to chat when he was bored late at night. Now I get some good ZZZZ's.


Haven't seen Kim check in lately, she must be busy too. In case your just lurking.

Ok talk to you all later I have to go get motivated to go to work. not.

 

[slo]

I can happily say.......

(thanks to my DIS friend Wally)

I have my packing almost done, and the only thing I have to do today is pack our carry-on bags, which is sometimes the most challenging. The carry-ons are basically the girls entertainment bags, and naturally they want to take everything

Then after that I'm going to do some house cleaning, and then we are ready to go!!! I don't leave until tomorrow at approx 12 noon, so I will be posting one more time before I leave.

Thanks for all your thoughts about my Katie
She has had so many problems in her little life, it's just not fair Even the nurse yesterday commented on how thick her file is (in a nice way, we've known this nurse since the girls were born) I keep telling myself that I"m going to be the best Grandma someday, because the girls have had so many problems and sicknesses. I will be a wealth of knowledge!!!

jedi_librarian - I've been racking my brain with trying to think of different ways to change her diet . I guess I will have to take each meal one by one.

Princess Mindy - I'm hoping it will still be magical (fingers crossed). At least she's not sick. When we went 3 years ago, when she was 13 months old, she was sick with a virus. I'm just glad we have the free dining, because there's going to be alot of meals that she's not going to eat, and I'm glad I don't have to pay for them.

eeyore45 - she can have fruit and veggies, but she won't eat them I've even put sugar on strawberries for her, and she still won't eat them. She's very difficult in the eating dept. I'm hoping she'll conform her ways within the next couple of months (fingers crossed).

HERSEY - She's going to have such a hard time giving up cheese. My doctor told me to throw it away so she doesn't even see it. Stephanie than said to her, "Well, I like it!!!! " and the doctor told her that she needs to think of her sister and help her so she gets better. Than Stephanie said, "Okay, I can do that " Stephanie loves her sister!!!

macraven - pretty soon we'll be in shorts again!!!

Bunchkin - Good to see you!! You've been missed

paintnolish - Stephanie just branched out in her eating too If Katie follows in her path, she has 5 years to go. Wish me luck that it doesn't take that long.

Tiggerrn2 - I'll have to get some new things for her to munch on. She hasn't had Cheerios in forever - I'll have to buy some.

rmom50 - I did ask her about giving her Benefiber, and she said that I can start that after she's cleaned out. I guess she is to far gone to start that now. Her colon is so impacted that it's buldging She may need to have extra fiber for the rest of her life because she has a "lazy colon" as the doctor called it.

To everyone else - Hi there!!!

Well, I gotta run and comb Steph's hair and give her some breakfast. Have a good day today everyone

 

[macraven]

wow.......

slo has

more sleep left.




hey slo, save a mickey bar for me please.



good morning chicagoland homies.
hope its a good one for you today!

 

[scrappinmom]

SLo - HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!! I can't wait - we've got 10 more days! (even though that darn ticker says nine!)

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR it's cold out there today! Went out to get the paper in my jammies & froze !

Tiggerrn2 - I hear ya...I get that way when it gets all gloomy & bleech & cold too.....I have to try really hard to not be grouchy & depressed. Wine, scrapbooking and shopping usually does the trick

Hey everyone else - its HUMPDAY!!!!! yipee...even Casey my 12 yr old woke up this am asking if it were Friday yet...The teachers have finally turned onthe homework machine and she's getting swamped...we were up till 9 doing spanish homework last night

Have a great day everyone

 

[Nite0wl71]

slo for katie and I hope everything works out.


Only one day left how lucky for you, I leave in one week

 

[roseprincess]

Hi all-

Slo- sorry to hear about Katie . I remember when Chrissy was constipated at age 3 and 4, I would have to give her a glycerin suppository once in a while, what the doctor ordered . Tho, I was used to giving suppositories in my nursing career . Then the doctor ordered some liquid over the counter stuff for Chrissy. Chrissy hasn't been constipated in about 4 yrs now. Hopefully Katie will eat some meat, maybe veggies, etc. Chrissy doesn't like most fruits except for apples and bananas. Chrissy only eats peas for veggies. She's a finicky eater, too

Have a great trip, Slo!! Please say hello to Mickey and Minnie for me What resort are you staying at?
You will be missed here!

Eeoyore45- Have a great trip,too!! You will be missed here, too!
Glad to hear you had visited Willow Creek at one time. Does your HS friend
still goe to Willow? If she does, I would like to know her name, you can PM me her name if you would like.

Mac- if you do see my green light on late at night, it may not be me lurking. DH gets online late at night and checks his fantasy football stuff on Yahoo
I don't know b/c we have DSL, if the green light is on the boards b/c he is online? I don't know . Unless my dh is lurking on the Boards, but I don't think so b/c my logged in time is where I left off from last time.
But I can lurk if you want me to

Hi Nite Owl, scrappinmom,Hersey, rmom50,Princess Mindy, Jedi,Tiggerrn2,paintnolish, and Bunchkin and anyone else I missed

Haven't seen Geffric in awhile. Hope you are not too crazy/busy.

Have a good day everyone

 

[jedi_librarian]

Hi, everyone!

Brrrr! It's cold in the library! They actually have the AC on and I'm sneezing like crazy.

tiggerrn2 - I get the same thing you get, but in the summer! I'm mostly depressed during the end of the summer, mostly in August. Not because I'm sad Summer's over, but because it's not my favorite season. Once September comes around, I'm a completely different person. I'm wierd, I guess

slo - holy cow! I didn't realize your trip was so close!!! You're so lucky! Though I leave a week after you I hope you have a wonderful, magical time

I'm in the mood for a Taffy apple. You all do call them taffy apples, don't you?

 

[HERSEY]

Jedi Funny you should mention taffy apples. Last night when I was going into Cosco I thought I smelled taffy apples. I was thinking of making some this weekend.

 

[disneymama73]

everyone was freezing!!


slo, get off the computer and finish up the packing.
you are going to the motherland in the morning!!



have a safe trip

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Sarah, congrats on your baby news. Enjoy your pregnancy. I used to love the moving and the hiccups I'd feel. Best part for me.
Slo, have a great vacation!!!
Jedi and Eeyore45 you too!!! I can't stand it. 18 more days to go. I think I'm gonna' pop
Time goes too slow when you want it to hurry and too fast when you finally get there and don't want to come home.
Sure hope everyone going the next couple weeks has lots of and a great time. Take lots of pics. We can get together when we all return and compare.
Jedi-hope you're out of your summer slump.
Scrappinmom-glad to know I'm not alone. Hey, have you decided on a spot we could meet up and say hello? OK we will be in MK the evening of the 8th. We will be at WL during the afternoon probably poolside and a bite to eat at Roaring Fork or Whispering Canyon if I can get an early ressie for dinner. Or we could go late afternoon to MK and meet up somewhere before the evening gets underway. Arrival day is pretty easy going. Just let me know what you think.
Well, I will lurk around here a bit before heading off to bed.
Night all.
