DDA Chapter 14

[PNO4TE]

We only had a 20 minute wait to vote! My vote at 8:25 a.m. was #417. I remember times when our entire polling place had less than 500 votes at the end of the day! I believe at the last presidential election there were about 800 votes, so this will be very good to see.

We had enough time for me to take Kristin out to breakfast and the best part of it was that she picked up the tab!

Theresa- 's

Elizabeth- Have fun cooking!!!

Glynis- It is wonderful to have you back. 's

Tom- for Leighanna.

Tammi- for all of Nicholas' tests.

Kristine- I hope you survive today.

I took Leighanna to school and spoke with her teacher this morning. Leighanna has tested well enough that her teacher is recommending Leighanna to start the "accelerated learning" or gifted program. (I think that is what she called it. )
Hopefully this will also help her not to be so talkative in class too. Leighanna always finishes her assignments earlier than most of the others, and gets bored and starts to act up.
I am proud of her for doing so well. I just hope that she can handle the extra work, and that she continues to do well in her studies.

That is wonderful! It is great that her school recognizes her talents & wants them to grow.

Woohoo! I'm back from voting, as well. Only had to wait about 15 minutes. They were really zipping along! I was planning on doing some shopping, but the rain picked up and so did the wind. I decided to come home and make some hot chocolate!

My cats cannot tell time either
They want to say hi every time I wake up or come home and you would think they were dogs too!!!!!!

I feel yer pain, sistah! Button has started to head butt me on the underside of my arm to waken me when she wants something. I think dogs get crotchety like people as they age!

 

[mommykds]

We just got in from voting..no lines!

I have also decided "to let it go"....I did my bit but I cannot control the outcome so there's no point in thinking about it.

 

[PNO4TE]

Perhaps Bill can go help your mom pack?

 

[PNO4TE]

I would love to go cooking with Princess...unlike you I love the kitchen...my job not so much. But it just wouldn't work out...I wouldn't wish my job on my own worst enemy.

I will bet if you switched jobs with Elizabeth for this one day you wouldn't have to worry about the job any more, Theresa....

I got in line at about 8:10 this morning and actually voted at 9:30. This is the longest I have ever waited in line. Parking was a pain. I walked for almost 5 minutes to get to the building

Hi gals and guys....

I've been reading here and there when I get a chance. Between painting and all of the activities, meetings, church and ,oh yeah, those kids that I get paid to watch I haven't had much DIS time.

My painting is almost done. My LR only needs 1 1/2 walls left. My DR has 2 walls and then the wall above the plate rack. It looks so nice and I can't wait til it's all finished.

Sunday evening we had our Girl Scout pow wow. We had a ton of fun together, there are 4 moms and the 1 dad (the dad who returned from Iraq in the spring). We all are on the same page and are looking forward to all that we can accomplish with the girls. It was very enlightening to say the least. The dad and one of the other mom's is meeting with the leader Wednesday night to finalize what will be said to the girls on Thursday. The spent 2 hours on the phone with her last night so the groundwork has been laid. The cookie money was a sore issue, the leader said "Well I don't have to give it to you because it belongs to Troop 105, but I wouldn't feel right" She is a nut case. We should once we've split off have close to $600 in start up funds.

Last night Dana and I took the girls to see HSM3. Everyone enjoyed it although it was a bit cheesy. Emma starts hand bell practice tonight. And at some point I need to vote.

I'm glad that you got things worked out for the troop, Robyn. Sounds like it's going to be for the best for all of your girls. Can't wait to see pictures of your new rooms!

I thought of that first off...and then decided against it. We don't need to have a fundraising effort to get Elizabeth out of jail.

We could raise the money... easy!

Tammi- for all of Nicholas' tests.

Aha! Thanks for reminding me to call and make the appointment!

Elin - do you vote at FFES? When I drove past Falmouth FS this morning it looked rather empty, as well as some of the other schools I pass along my drive.

That is a great offer, Deb. I can see why it would be tempting and can also understand why you are not tempted this year!

I got that same email, plus it is on the front of the DIS, and have been thinking about it. Presidents week would be a good time for us to go.
