Do you know what was in my box? It was 2 perfect Christmas ornaments and they certainly made me smile.

Thank you Elin. The little camper immediately reminded me of my little signature camper

Oh my -- those are so cute. Good job Elin. (I originally thought you made them, as they are so close to the camper that was in her sig.!)

Here are a couple of shots from Colby's party last night.

A big present

The cake

I thought of you when I opened it. I thought you'd be jealous :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:




I got a call from the school and I will be subbing tomorrow morning for my niece's class

He is really growing up. How handsome! Have fun subbing. I'm glad the school is calling you more often.

Nicholas did great during his testing. He does have allergies and mild asthma. The pulmonary function test showed some lung damage. He his greatest allergic reaction was to dust mites (great :rolleyes:), followed by mold and tree pollen. So we got another inhaler and nasal spray, and he has to go back in 2 months. After reading up on this asthma business I've come to understand that the inhaler is for maintenance to reduce bronchial flare-ups and/or bronchitis.

Ugh -- those sound very similar to my main ones. The mold count around here skyrockets in the fall, so my fall allergies are actually worse than the spring ones. I hope the asthma and allergies are under control quickly.

O i dont think i saw that question--but no this cruise friend is not becoming a boyfriend--if so, i would tell you guys! haha

I had a bit of a scary experience today--it does not sound like much, but it made me worried.
I was at Kohls shopping and I kept noticing the same male everywhere I was. He came up to me and commented on what a lucky guy my boyfriend is and he was noticing my qualities from afar..and it was just freaky. I left and continue dmy shopping. As i was leaving, i noticed him going out right after i did..i got on the phone with my dad and talked loudly to him, telling him where i was and pretending he was on his way to get me..luckily, the guy went the other way, but i was really scared for awhile there

That is very scary! I'm glad you were paying attention.

party: party: Happy Birthday Chris! party: party:
 
I hope you got some more sleep Elin.

Last night the kids and I went through town and took in all the decorations. Then we drove the rest of the way home singing It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

I did get about 2 1/2 hours more of sleep. :goodvibes

It is gorgeous downtown with all the lights and store windows, isn't it? I noticed some house have started putting up things too, but I haven't seen anything lit yet, thank goodness!
 
Good morning,

The daily stress of getting this house sold & moving is really getting to me. Katie is acting up again..walked out without a kiss because I MADE her wear a jacket..hello it's 32 degrees!!! There's an older kid on Daniel's bus giving us a spot of bother, & general other nonsense.

Thank heavens I get to go to Disney with my DDA buddies otherwise I think I would just scream. I am so looking forward to the break from reality right now. I have to get something extra special for Dana when we go (maybe a stein in Germany?) since he moved things around & took vacation days to make it happen.:love:

:grouphug: to you. You have a lot going on. The stein sounds like a great present.

Elizabeth -- the offer still stands to take kids to GWL, though I bet your DS would rather wait until DH can take time off and be there to have fun. We had a ball going down the slides! But, if you go the week that is cheaper, you could rent a cabana and then you'd have plenty of space and have a base for the boys to return to. Just a thought...

Jake's soccer game that was rained out last week has been rescheduled to tonight, so we'll bundle up for it. Have a terrific day everyone!
 

i thought of it bud did not think kohls had security and i just waned to leave...ill know to ask bext time

Everyone has security, even if it is just the store manager; don't be afraid to ask. :goodvibes
 
Really? Have you checked www.wiitracker.com? You can click Wii Fit and it will show you where to find them, I just don't love to order off the internet. I guess I should order one and be done with it.

I have one, but know that people are still having trouble finding them in stock. I did see a whole display of them somewhere over the weekend and was surprised. Maybe Sears? :confused3

:hug: for you and :grouphug: for the whole family. This is a stressful time for you all, I know. Kids never realize that moving affects their parents too. They are so self-absorbed at this age that they can't see beyond their own pain. It will get better, Anne Marie. Hopefully very soon!

I hope the kid on the bus is taken care of soon (take that any way you wish ;) ) and:yay: for Dana realizing you need the break!

They jumped right off the catalog page months ago! I begged our master exchange setter upper to pull particular names for me this year. I hope that was OK with everyone. :love:
 
OK - time to get some work done... I feel out of sorts and out of sync with my odd sleeping patterns last night! Hope everyone has a good morning!
 
Theresa did Abi get a package yet? If you talk to Glynis would you ask if her kids received theirs? I'm hoping that nothing broke in the mail.

I will check...I always think somebody else checks the mail and there is no light at the boxes so I don't feel safe doing it as I get home in the dark.

I wasn't going to tell anybody!!:rolleyes1 :cool2:
 
Good Morning!!

I really have to get to work...but I am procrastinating...so I went in yesterday to ask Richard if he was saying I was resigning or I was. First, he asked if I could get through it without getting emotional:rolleyes: Then, he started offering me a lot of stuff he couldn't really to get me to stay through the end of the year and then brought up my personal stuff (which he told me to compartmentalize in the Wednesday meeting:sad2: ). All the time saying...all I am thinking of is you...yeah right!:sad2: He seems to be afraid of what I am going to say on my way out.

I was fine telling the staff...I get more choked up when I tell my volunteers and the members...they are the reason I stayed so long.

This sounds like something Mary Poppins would say. :rotfl2:

Sorry about Katie and the other kid.

Last night I saw my first!
 
Today is Nicholas' field trip to Mt. Vernon. They should be arriving in about an hour so I'll head over to meet them then. It's going to be cold out there!
 
For all of you who ordered from or are getting ready to order from Snapfish, they are offering free shipping on orders placed by midnight tonight. SHIPALLFREE. If you ordered over the last few days I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and see if they will adjust your order.

Anne Marie, :hug: Katie would have done that whether you were moving or not. She did the same thing last year when you weren't moving. ;) Not sure what she has against wearing a jacket! :rotfl:
I hope the kid on the bus leaves Daniel alone! :wizard:

:grouphug: to you. You have a lot going on. The stein sounds like a great present.

Thanks! I didn't know they had cabanas. I haven't seen that on the website. When I click to book a room it brings up all sorts of add-on packages but it never mentioned a cabana. :confused3 None of the add-ons are that cool. We are going to bring our own cake, I don't want to go down the path of arcade tokens, etc. The packages add about $100 to the price and none of them really fit our needs. I am sure DS will want to book a date that DH can be there, so the ball is really in DH's court. Things are completely up in the air right now - they haven't said when vacation bids will be, they haven't said how the "pilot program" will impact vacation scheduling, etc. I will wait a few more weeks and see if we think we can pull it together for 1/30, and if not I will book a different date.

I have one, but know that people are still having trouble finding them in stock. I did see a whole display of them somewhere over the weekend and was surprised. Maybe Sears? :confused3

Could be! We never go to the mall with the Sears anymore, so there is no telling what we might find there! :rotfl2:

Today is Nicholas' field trip to Mt. Vernon. They should be arriving in about an hour so I'll head over to meet them then. It's going to be cold out there!

I hope the field trip is fun! :wizard:

We have cooking today. Princess has requested NOT to enroll again. The first couple of times she liked it, but last week she seemed bored. She wasn't paying attention, squirmed in her chair, etc. She told Momboss she doesn't like cooking and doesn't want to do it anymore. I have been very careful not to say anything negative about cooking, because if she likes it I am happy to take her. I just don't think she really enjoys the class. I think she is going to do swimming lessons in the Spring so not doing cooking agin isn't a big deal.

I left a voice mail for the oncology nurse yesterday saying I want to talk about Mom's lymphedema, but they never called me back. Great. That means I will have to call them again and impress upon them the gravity of the situation. :mad:
 
Does anyone have a moment to auto adjust a picture in PS for me? I can email you the picture...I'm trying to finish our Christmas photos and Walmart isn't auto correcting the photo the correct way. Of course I did it on my home computer... :rolleyes:
