DDA Chapter 11

I think I saved the stupid skirt, just in case I ever wanted to look like a big dork again.

Tammi you do not look like a dork!

Janet loved the pics

Thanks Jennifer!

Your trip is getting so close, are you excited

 

[tinknme]

I should be going to bed. But I so love this quiet time.

It's nice isn't it

I'm sorry, Vicki. In a backwards way I know how you feel. I have never lived far away from my mom before. I know she isn't doing well right now and there isn't anything I can do to help her. There's no way we will move to Kansas, and I don't think she is in any position to move back here.

Another for you with having to deal with this yourself. I usually worry about my mother since she lives alone in the town I graduated from and we have no other family there. She is living with my sister right now and helping with my niece & nephew. I really need to call and check on her. That's the other thing that is weighing on me.

Instead of creating stronger bonds, our Disney trip in June put a split between my sister & my family. My girls and Chuck didn't appreciate the way she treated me. With mom living down there, I've hardly talked with mom since. Normally in this time frame, I'd have seen her two or three times (on my way through to Lansing) and talked with her at least once every week or two. I think I've talked to her twice since the trip.

Hopefully it wasn't this bad for Lindsay!

He just checked and it will be aired here so he may watch it We do have a town wide ice cream party from 2 - 4 PM. It seems that someone entered into a competition with Edy's Ice Cream and our town was selected as only one of 2 in VT. It should be fun.

Sounds like fun & with ice cream to, yum!

Holy man, that doesn't look good! I agree. I hope Lindsay had better luck than this.

Good Night Friends,

I have to make an early morning trip to DD's, Brandon's bday party is tomorrow and she decided to decorate the cake herself, only problem is she has never done one before, so I'll be heading out to "help" her.


Have a good evening

Have fun at the birthday party Debbie

What was the guys name that died recently that had done the awesome speech about living your life? I think I really need to watch that.

Randy pausch is who i think you are talking about

 

[tinknme]

Janet you got some great shots. The one with Stitch inserted on the bench made me smile

Thank you Deb! I had to ask for that one & she acted like she wasn;t sure if she was allowed to take the shot or not

I do wish we would have gotten more pictures at MK, I don't have any with Tinkerbell I forgot about the one at Soaring too! Oh well there is next year

Yes, that is who I'm looking for. Thanks.

I'm currently listening to Class of '99: Wear Sunscreen.

I would be so scared & sick to my stomach!

I'm sorry that things remain uneasy between you and your sister. I've had trips with my DB where I came home feeling like they didn't appreciate all the planning that I did. I now do the planning for my family and include them only if they want to be included. Thankfully they appreciated last trip and thanked me multiple times. Is it possible to chaulk this up to a lesson learned and move on? Life is too short to hold grudges (even if they are well deserved). We'll be you family for a Disney vacation and Chris promises not to complain

I remember that one!

We had a night like that on our Hawaiian cruise. The pool was completely empty by the time the ocean settled down. It wasn't as noticable if you weren't out on deck, thankfully.

It would be 9 hours for me to drive to see my mom. The flight is only 90 minutes, with another 45 minutes to drive from the airport to her house. But since I am not comfortable driving in a strange state I always have to get my cousin or my aunt to haul me around. I hate to do that if it isn't an emergency. I also wouldn't feel so weird if it was a holiday and my cousin was off work. But she is an attorney and her firm expects her to be in her office during business hours!

I hate that the trip put a strain on your relationship with your sister. And now that is straining things with you and your mom, too. I hope you all can sort things out! I would love to take my mom to WDW even though I know it would try my patience to the very end. At least I already know it would be difficult!

Have fun at the birthday party Debbie

Remember, cake is always good, even if it looks a little odd!
(Well, I take that back. Last weekend DH went to that retirement party and I stayed home. He brought a piece of cake home for me and it was gross. It was a yellow/chocolate marble cake, but it was really oily looking. It smelled kind of like coconut and tasted faintly like pineapple juice. It was NOT good. I took a few bites and tossed it in the trash.)

Randy Pausch? Not sure on the spelling.

I have let it go. Unfortunately, my sister, Chuck and the girls haven't. I don't see it happening. Nothing I say seems to make a difference to Chuck. The relationship that they had built is gone and I doubt it will ever be rebuilt.
