DDA Chapter 11

We used to use brown paper bags too, but they don't hold up as well and need to be recovered periodically. I don't have any brown paper bags here so I had to punt and went with the Disney bag. I like the fabric ones as they hold up really well.

We use brown paper bags here. Last year I bought the stretchy book covers, but all the teachers wanted brown sack covers

Right back at ya!!

Good morning to you too, Robyn!

Jen - your room looks awesome! I can't believe you did all that in what, 3 days?! I think you should have your picture in your scuba diver though!

I agree!

That's how I did mine too!

Me too, although usually with white paper - more fun to draw on?

My headache subsided about 1 1/2 hours into work. Of course it was Sloooooww tonight. Had it been busier I may have worked through the headache more quickly. The good news is that I have completed 2 full days on my diet and I haven't had any soda since 2 PM yesterday My goal is to get the eating under control this week and get through all my withdrawl. Next week I need to add exercise.

Way to go! You're off to a great start!

My DH and little one had a surprise for me. Colby is sleeping with Daddy in my spot tonight so that I can have his nice new bed tonight. They are hoping, as am I, that I will get a restful nights sleep with no interruptions

Did it work?

I especially loved the scene of him trying to hold it together as he watched her walking toward him.

I know! I loved that one too, and I did have to point it out to my robot of a husband

Thanks for the well-wishes on the girls sleeping. They do ok for about 6 hours, it's just before and after that they are in a lot of discomfort. I think we're seeing mild improvement though, whether from their GI system maturing or the formula changes....

Thank you, I have it saved now!

Still not feeling great, but a little better, I think! Thanks for asking!

I have to work tonight, and I was hoping that the cold front would come through to cool things off a little.

Leighanna had homework last night regarding a story from her workbook. Well, the teacher didn't send the story home, and Leighanna said that they haven't read it in class yet, So how can you answer questions about it then?
I e-mailed her teacher yesterday, and finally got a response this morning. She said it was from her workbook, and that she forgot to tell the kids to take it home with them.
Needless to say, she will still get full credit for her homework. Phew!
So far Leighanna has gotten all A's and an A+ on spelling. I didn't want the fact that she couldn't do her homework to decrease her grade. Homework counts as 15% of her final grade.

Good morning...

Elizabeth, hope you feel better soon.

Marci- Yikes, 2 and 1/2 hours is insane.

Tom- I hope you get to feeling better today. Stay inside where it's nice and cool. I am sick of the heat ang mugginess.

Terry- Sounds like a great weekend.

I am going to ditto, thank you Robyn!

This is us today It feels like fall! Riley has a game tonight, I think it will get a little messy

 

[tinknme]

Good morning

 

[Tammi67]

I am sorry you aren't feeling well today, Elizabeth. Maybe you could have Princess read you a book!

Feel better!

I had another monkey wrench thrown into this thing I call "life".
I would really like to book our airfare for our February trip while the prices are still reasonable.
If the new Ohio Healthy Families act goes into effect, http://www.sickdaysohio.org/ our work has already said that they will be forced to go to 8 hour shifts.
This means instead of being able to leave in the middle of the week and return on a non weekend day, we will have to leave on a weekend and return on a weekend. This makes our flights more expensive.

Arghhhh! I just don't know what to do?!?

 

[Tammi67]

Tammi - I didn't make it to Palin even being an hour earlier than you. I've taken to watching most of the stuff on YouTube. Phil started doing it several Bush speeches ago and it's so much easier. Plus, with the convention you can skip the inbetween stuff and see what it is you want to see.

That's a good idea.

 

[tinknme]

Tom sorry to hear about the new snafu, hope you get the airfare figured out

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am sorry you aren't feeling well today, Elizabeth. Maybe you could have Princess read you a book!

Perhaps not! The best I can figure is that she was saying "pandas" (those are in the book) but it was coming out with a long "e" instead of a short "a".

That is horrible, Marci!

I hate car stuff! Sorry to hear about the tires. Hope soccer goes well tonight! We do need to get together when Lindsay comes back!

No advice here. Airfare is INSANE for next Spring and Summer.

I can't decide if I feel well enough to go to the zoo. That was what I was considering for today. Princess and I have a couple of errands to do first, so we'll get those done and I will assess how I feel from there. Thanks for the well wishes!
