DDA Chapter 12

[Glynis]

Unfortunately yes...with the holidays, it would be close to 5000 for airfare for just me and that was a bit much

Yikes! That is incredibly steep!!!

So I just got back from the grocery store. BIG mistake. It should have clicked after reading Jennifer's blog - half the town was without power for two days. No frozen food - which is FOUR LONG ISLES - except for ice cream and frozen veggies (they just got a shipment). No eggs, no shredded cheese, no yogurt, no half and half. Before I go anywhere tomorrow, I'm calling to see if they have anything in stock - since I need eggs, cheese and various other things I can buy from Walmart but don't want to go there unless I have to.

Off to bed for me have a great night

Jen - have you ever checked out a company called Contiki? I can totally see you going on a Contiki tour...

 

[Glynis]

Diva called me this afternoon to tell me she thinks she has the job at the nursing home. I guess she just wants to be friends. Scared me half to death when I saw who was calling. Thought something was wrong!

Mom starts Taxol tomorrow. I talked to her tonight. I think she is a little worried about the possibility of an allergic reaction. I hope it goes OK.

Sounds to me like Diva has grasped the reality of your mom's situation, and is reaching out. Hopefully, if she does get this job, it will help her curb some of her "me, me, me" tendencies!


Good luck to your mom tomorrow. She's in my prayers!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I wasn't looking for a pat on the back, just needed to blow off some steam. I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself at the moment. I try not to, but sometimes it just sneaks up on me. Anyway, I appreciate you all listening and your words of encouragement. Plus it's nice to know you all go through the same things with your kids.

Chanon - you're welcome!

Jen - yay for Colorado!

We know you weren't looking for that pat but it is well deserved.

Jen - Well, at least you are going SOMEWHERE!

Sooo...

They aren't using sippy cups in Princess's classroom. She has decided it is very entertaining to purposely dump her drink out on the table. The teacher mentioned it on Monday. I told Princess that is very naughty and she may NOT do that again. Momboss and Dadboss talked with her about it. I talked with her about it yesterday, and again this morning. Picked her up and they said she did it AGAIN! So she had no TV today. Momboss was mortified that Princess did it again after we all talked to her about it. Guess we'll see how it goes next week!

We can hope! She does volunteer work at a shop that benefits a hospice. Turns out the hospice shop supervisor knows the nursing home lady, so I think that's what got her in the door. I hope it works out.

DS said they had a drug dog go through his science class today. The kids had to take off their jackets and leave them in the classroom. While they all stood in the hallway the dog sniffed their jackets, backpacks, etc. Odd.

It's so easy, I'm almost embarrassed to post it.

Here goes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a Boboli bread crust on a cookie sheet. In a bowl, mix 2 cans of drained tuna with 1/3 cup mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup minced onion. Spread on crust to within an inch of the edge. Top with thinly sliced tomatoes. Bake in oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with thin slices of American cheese. Back in the oven for 2 minutes while the cheese melts. Slice and enjoy!

leave off the tomato and it sounds yummy

Hi,
sorry I have not time to catch up...Yesterday was a rough day. Sophie came home & told me she passed out in school. Turns out she fell (none of the monitors saw her!) & hit her head & blacked out for a minute. She got up with her friends around her looking at her & she was embarrased so she didn't tell anyone. So of course I took her to the Dr who told me to take her to the ER right away. They did some tests & she has a concussion. No gym for a week & we have to keep an eye on her for vomiting or disorientation. We didn't get in until after 10pm so I am letting her sleep in & she will go to school late.

I had called her teacher yesterday to ask why no one saw her fall & I got alot of baloney. I am calling the principal (who is a real pitbull) to tell her what happened. I know she will blow me off & but I am going to make my point known.

Daniel's bus broke down coming home last night & one of Katie's teachers has some real mental problems so things here are very bumpy at the moment.

Oh & we may be moving before December so that has been a real whirlwind.

Sorry for the long post....Hope all is well you all.

I hope Sophie is feeling okay.
PD for all the school issues and for the move!

okay headed to bed.

 

[babytrees]

I think I am about ready to go off the deep end.

Sorry, but I really needed to vent.

 

[babytrees]

I just booked my filght--im going to colorado in november!!!!

woot woot!! Does this mean we'll get to meet up again??

 

[babytrees]

Elizabeth-sounds like Divagirl just might be growing up. We'll be thinking of your mom tomorrow.

Jim didn't get to second round of interviews for the supervisor position, which I kind of knew would happen.

I pulled the names tonight and if there were no omissions I will send out names tomorrow.

 

[yellowfish78]

I just popped on and wanted to tell everyone to watch the movie "Miss Pettegrew Lives for a Day". I have to go read the book now. I wish I would have done that the opposite way though.

I do need a few good books for the cruise and Universal...can anyone recommend a few please?

 

[PNO4TE]

I think this might be the only place where we are not in the same frame of mind. I just don't get Tim Burton or (forgive me all) Johnny Depp.

I am with you, Theresa...

 

[PNO4TE]

As for Johnny Depp, it's not that I think he's good looking, or anything like that. I think he's one of the finest actor's of this generation. What a talent! I've loved him from the first movie of his I ever saw, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".

I do agree with you there, Glynis. But it is very difficult for me to watch his work! He gives me the "willies!"

 

[PNO4TE]

I think I am about ready to go off the deep end. This shuttling the kids around to activities 3 nights of the week is starting to take it's toll. I can't keep up with the house, homework, lawn, etc. What sent me over the edge tonight is that my parents are coming down tomorrow and tonight was the only night that I had to get the house in order. Now I know all of you are saying who cares what they say/think. But I can't stand hearing it from my dad. Thankfully Bob came over tonight and mowed the entire lawn, while I did the inside stuff and helped the kids with their homework. Nicholas is such an angel, wanting to help me any way that he could. But Alyssa, man I could have sent her packing. I am so tired of the chin down, eyebrows furrowed, lip out and feet stomping. I am ready to beat her senseless. Figure of speech. Doing all this myself, with the occasional help from Bob, is killing me. And then I get grief from a 6 year old when I tell her to vacuum the living room. Fine. She got a taste of her own medicine. Shower. Wash your own hair. Comb it. Dry it. Clean up your mess. Pack your snack. Put your own laundry away. I think she finally got it. But for how long? And tomorrow night I have to figure out a way to be at both football practice and back to school night. I guess somehow I will miraculously manage, like I always seem to do.




Sorry, but I really needed to vent.

I am glad you could come here to vent. I teach until 8:30 but if there is anything that I can do help, please let me know!

I am caught up and it is REALLY late for me. I will bid you all a good night. Sleep well, friends!
