DDA Chapter 10

[Tammi67]

Well, I thought I was going to make it to church this morning, but after I got things cleaned up time was running short. I still need a shower and to get Rachel's sewing stuff set up so that she can finish Connor's birthday present right after they get home from church. So, I ended up here instead. We're headed to the pool for Connor's birthday party after lunch so all fingers are crossed for no rain. Last year the weather was almost too cold for a pool party (it did work to keep the crowds very low though!) Today was forecasted to rain a lot. So far though things are looking good. Though considering the crowds possibilities, I think Terra and I will get there early to secure enough space for the rest of us.

for no rain today and for the week off!

Yesterday was filled up with the birthday parties. The first one, for our godson, was uneventful. It was themed for Kung Fu Panda and my girlfriend did a great job with the party games and the goody bags. She had chopsticks, fortune cookies, Chinese yo yo's and such. She even made really cute panda cupcakes. They looked just like these

We left there and headed to the Little Einsteins party. The birthday girl loved the Rocket cake and she was so cute when she realized she was in Rocket on the big cake. She got a huge smile on her face and starting jumping up and down. The party seemed to be going ok but then my girlfriend and one of her other friends (the friend is older is more like a mom to my girlfriend) left the party with no real explanation. It was very odd. I had noticed that my friend seemed a bit off and asked her about it, she told me she hadn't been feeling well. I can understand not feeling well but to leave while the party was still going on was strange and rude. I'm stumped and I am sure I'll never figure out what happened.

Anyway, here is the finished cupcake cake.

Today we had planned on going into DC with just Emma but then found out that the MD German festival is going on so we are about to head out for that. I figure DC isn't going anywhere and the girls like the festival and we can drag all 3 of them with little worries of Mo and Lucy getting bored.

Have a great day!!

Thank you all for the good wishes for Virginia. We went to the Dr on Fri. her temp was 102.7 when we got up. They did a cath on her she has a UTI. at least that is what the urine culture shows. we picked up her Antibotics last night.

I just got a phone call for another interview!

Janet- I hope Riley had a great weekend and did good at his games.

Robyn I love the cake. You seriously need to find a job where you can do that. I hope your sister is continuing to improve

Glynis,
be careful. Congrats on your little Prince.

Theresa-you know you are in my prayers

Happy Anniversary, Deb and Chris

Theresa I do not talk a lot about my personal life as far as Gary & I go, but your post hit home with me. This may sound strange, but there have been a few times that I have wanted to call you just to talk for a shoulder to lean on. I know I have never met you, but for some reason I have always felt you would understand. I know this post is making no sense, but I am here for you

Janet

Wow you all were chatty yesterday. Bob and I went and did some back to school shopping, ate dinner out and went to see Mamma Mia. We both really enjoyed it.
Now I'm off to catch up. I have to find out if peanut is a or a .

My kids come home today!!!! Although they won't get here until around 9 tonight.

yeah
I hope they had a good time.

 

[bear74]

with that I think I am off to shower and dentist...trying a new one. I hope they are gentle with me or I may just cry(I still might...I am a big cry baby lately).

I hope the dentist went well. I need to go myself.

 

[bear74]

my luck keeps running...to bad it's bad.

I have 3 choices:

a.) keep the tooth with a root canal, pull 3 other (that really need to come out) and do bridges
b.)do nothing
c) pull the tooth and the 3 others and partially denture my mouth.

a & c will cost me, even with insurance, $1200 to $5000. I've got until Wednesday to decide.

Oh and I've got a raging infection in my mouth that I had no clue I had!! So on antibiotics I go!!

If it were me....I'd do A...the more teeth of you own you can keep the better (IMO)

I would go with "A"

Thank you all for the good wishes for Virginia. We went to the Dr on Fri. her temp was 102.7 when we got up. They did a cath on her she has a UTI. at least that is what the urine culture shows. we picked up her Antibotics last night.

I hope they kick in quickly and she gets to feeling better very soon!

Popping in to say real fast and then I'm heading to bed!

Today, we spent an utterly exhausting day at Kings Island and the adjoining waterpark, Boomerang Bay. Of course, since I'm not allowed to swim yet, and I'm Noah's only source of nutritrion, I did a lot of sitting around, people-watching. I really should have brought a book.

I didn't realize so many of us have anniversaries all in the same week! July 24th marked 9 years for us.

Glynis, congratulations!!! Please take care of yourself, too!

Robyn, your Rocket cake is awesome! Want to make a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake for Matty's big party?

Theresa, sending you lots of I'm sorry about your dental woes, too.

Jen, lots of that you're offered the perfect job between these two interviews!

Other Jen I hope Elise is feeling better and time with (you know, your MIL ) is minimal this weekend.

Great pictures, Elin!

I'm sorry...my brain is fried. I thought we had perfected a great nighttime routine for Noah, but after two weeks, he decided he has this intense desire to suck and now he's waking up every 2-3 hours. He has no patience for his own fingers or fists, and he's rejected six brands of pacifiers, so that pretty much leaves me (he likes the obvious and my thumb). I'm one sleepy Mama!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Take care, DDA!

Happy Anniversary Amy and Kevin.
I have tried 2 different brands of Pacis. Virginia did not like either. she prefers Mommy

 

[bear74]

Jennifer - Hope your incision heals properly now! I am sure your congregation will enjoy meeting the girls!

Ditto

Debbie, those are absolutely beautiful. He gets the DDA husband of the day award! Congratulations on 23 years!

Ditto

 

[bear74]

I hope they kick in quickly and she gets to feeling better very soon!

Thanks Elin. Can I just say I hate Drs. They insisted we get the Meds yesterday before the culture was complete. SO we get a broad spectrum Med. Well I just got a call from the Dr.s office and the med we have will not cover the bacteria she has. So I get to go spend another 15 on a different Med. Did I Say I Hate Dr's

 

[babytrees]

Instead of giving me roses, my husband took home-sterilized surgical equipment to my c-section incision today!


Have a great day, DDA!

you all do the oddest things for fun

Theresa - you're braver than me with the dentist, I actually have two broken teeth right now so I need to get my but there before I end up in lots of pain. So what are the odds that you will lose more teeth after having partials made or a bridge? Have you considered having them all pulled and dentures? I was on long term antibiotics as a child and have lots of dental work to show for it, now the old dental work keeps falling out or the teeth are breaking.

I wouldn't call me brave....I just all the sudden grew a backbone on Friday (sort of...I did call Jim and tell him to figure out the insurance and call )

My front teeth are in fairly good shape so I may lose them later but not too soon. With the three that are definitely coming out they are more like nubs.
Whichever I decided it will be strange to have all the "teeth" in there.

Poor Virginia

Did you all do anything on your "vacation"??

 

[ReAnSt]

So I got home from the wedding after midnight. It was very nice, it was Mexican themed and they had a Mariachi band which was a surprise for the bridal party.

Today I went to Urgent Care as last night I overturned my right ankle in a hole. After sitting, waiting, exams, and x-rays I have a fracture in my 5th metatarsal. I currently have a temporary splint on my right foot and crutches. I need to make an appointment to go to an orthopedic specialist.

This is going to be for awhile.

I have two and a half weeks until I leave. Let's just say my trip might be interesting. I am going come heck or high water. Now I have so many things to figure out that I have not dealt with before. Now we have to fill out the medical form and figure out Disneyland stuff. I will probably end up in a wheelchair for at least part of the trip. Not how I wanted to spend my trip.

I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Jennifer- How's Elise today? Enjoy your outing to church.

She's doing ok.... not any better, but not worse. Avery is now following suit

 

[bear74]

Hi Mommy,

I am having fun with Olivia and Virginia. Virginia keeps trying to eat my nose LOL. Olivia lets me sleep in her bed with her. We went to Virginia’s Dr. on Fri. then to a pool that has a water playscape. Olivia and Virginia had fun. We went out to wat then to the Disney store.

On Sat. we went to a picnic for Olivia’s Grandma’s work. I watched Olivia jump in a moon walk their were too many other kids in their for me. Then we went to the mall for a while . We found the baseball field then went to another pool with a water playscape. Then we went to the Round Rock Express baseball game. They lost but we had fun. Their were some Fireworks after. They were great.

This morning we watched Hanana Montana in 3D. I have some cool glasses now. We are going to head to a different park and ride the train. We might stay and watch Beauty and the Beast on stage. We are waiting for the Dr. Office to call and tell us they have Virginia’s meds called in.

Will post Pictures later.

Talk to you later,
Love Andy

Becky,
good luck with the cruthes on the ship. I hope your foot heals fast.

Thanks for the good wishes. I have to go to the orthopedic Dr. to find out if I need a cast and whatever treatment they want for me.

Not sure how this is going to work for my job. As I can not drive. Does not work well when you have a 35 mile commute each way. I have lots of events coming up I am supposed to be at. So who knows what will happen.
