DDA Chapter 18

[mommykds]

Good morning,

My kids are off all week. Staying in today as they have some school projects due next week. If we can get them all done we can enjoy the rest of the week.

Well the sellers are playing some "games" with us & we may just move on to #2.

I fell off the wagon this weekend (WW's) & am up so I started my day with a healthy ww friendly breakfast. Hopefully I can keep my focus with the kids home. They want to go to Friendly's sometime this week & I know I cannot pass up ice cream.

Have a great day!

So Jennifer, Becky, & Vicki are you packing shorts or pants?

We always pack 2-4 pairs of each. Since we stay at DVC, we can do laundry now which makes it that much nicer. We go down and hang out at the pool and do a load of laundry if it is needed.

Anyone interested in sharing a Photopass that is going in March? Chuck & I will definitely do one either way. That is one of our favorite things. He doesn't want me to go in on a shared one with strangers but doesn't mind me doing one with our DDA family if anyone is interested.

Nick and I had a nice workout then Mom brought the other 4 kids. They swam for about an hour. I talked with the Aquatics coordinator and we worked out my schedule, at least for awhile. I will start next Monday (I'd better pass the course ) My hours will be 7 AM - 2 PM Monday thru Friday. That's 35 hours per week and I can keep my AJ's job too. I won't have time to work at the school though. Now I need to get finger printed and have a drug test done. I'd better make the calls. Oh they told me that Nick and Hunter are old enough to supervise Colby so they can hang out around the pool while I am working if they happen to be off. No Daycare I know that it only pays $10 per hour, but I'll get a free membership, I don't know if it is family membership yet, I really don't know much yet i'm pretty exited, though I have no idea how I will ever keep up with the housework. I'll be working about 50 hours a week. i'll figure it out somehow. This will certainly help with the economic crunch.

Wow, everyone must be busy today, it's been nearly 2 hours and I was the last one to post I'll be heading out the door in a few minutes. Have a wonderful evening.

Congratulations Deb! If I can work a 40 hr. week, commute 2.5 hours a day, and be a single mom with all kid responsibilities, you can figure out how to do 50 hrs/wk, along with a dh. Housework will just wait for you. Plus, you have 2 older boys that are big enough to help out around the house.

Not sure if these would interest you for her party, but the $ Tree store has Tink & her fairy friends Pez dispensers. These would make nice party favors!

hmm I might have to look for those. I was thinking of doing some type of candy. I was at one today but they did not have those. I did find some Princess easter window clings and some Princess Valentine window clings.

 

[mommykds]

Deb,
Congrats! Good luck!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Nope I knew that no one would be posting, so I am watching the Ace of Cakes marathon. Plus I just got my potatoes cooked for my potato soup for dinner.

Wow, everyone must be busy today.

Deb-congrats on having the schedule in hand!! You will get it all done, you always do!!

Anne Marie- I am sorry you are getting "played" in the house looking.Hope #2 doesn't give you the same 'tude.

potato soup sounds good....turkey tetrazzini is on tap here.

 

[Tammi67]

We are having a ham slice with pineapple-orange sauce.

Sorry about the house aggravation, Anne Marie.

 

[tinknme]

Debbie I am so excited for you & your dd

Deb on the new job!

Anne Marie sorry about house #1, hope things work out

Marci I enjoyed reading your tr & seeing your pictures. Sorry you did not care for Ohana, hopefully it was just a bad night. We have eaten here twice & luckily have had a good experience both times.

Jennifer would you like me to get some of the pez holders if you cannot find them?

Heidi I'm sorry I forgot to ask what you were packing

Robyn sounds like you are doing awesome with the weight loss

Kristine-Belated Birthday Wishes. Hope spring finds it way to IL soon!!!! I'm ready for it here in MA too!!!!

Elin-nice dinner you had Sat night. It looked really good.

Tammy-looks like the kids had a blast making you dinner! Good luck with the eye examine. I've had progressive lenses for a few years now-Emma was still in diapers when I got them. I had a hard time getting used to them-I couldn't change her diaper with them on. My DH has had them for a while too and he had no problems getting used to them. You don't wear glasses at all now do you?

Lindsay-Joe & I won't do DxDDP-just regular. I don't mind using some points for signature dining because I don't need a TS meal everyday-I don't want to feel like we're spending a huge amount of time dining. We can use some CS points to go with offerings from the lounge a few nights we don't have TS ADR's.

Becky-did you get your room settled yet? I really like the atmosphere at California Grill. I also enjoy Raglan Road-and their CS is good too. I like Wolfgang Puck Express, Sunshine Seasons, Flame Tree BBQ, and Tangerine Cafe (Morocco) for CS. I also really enjoy Boma. I can't do a trip without at least 1 meal at Crystal Palace-I really like breakfast there-especially an 8am ADR on a day the park opens at 9am. Lunch & dinner are good there too. I am excited to try Narcoossee's with Joe in May.

Deb-congrats on the life guard job! Sounds perfect for you.

Tia-good luck on the house search!

Robyn-Loved your valentine! Congrats to Emma! And congrats to you too!!! OH...and Lucy & myEmma are still simular. MyEmma was the easiest baby til about 16 months. Once she could express her point of view she was pretty easy again-um...as long as she gets her way. But seriously she does know what she likes but she's not as um...high maintenance as some "other" kids I live with.


Heidi-you leave so soon!!!!

Jen-prayers for Manny. Have you picked a hotel yet?

Jennifer (OH)-your outfits are adorable!

Jennifer (TX)-my Lizzy wears a size 3 shoe. How's your back doing?

Theresa

Janet-Garrett is quite a handsome young man! What a cute couple they are!

Vicki-Good luck with the promotion.

Anne Marie-sorry to hear the sellers are playing games. Good luck selling your house!

Denise-hope the 10 days without John fly by uneventfully!

Tom-I'm still battling post Disney Depression too. (but I can't complain about my ticker-I'll be in tough shape after May though).

Debbie-Aubrey will be her soon!!!

Marci-enjoying your TR! Great photos!

Stephanie & Terry-so sorry to hear about mousefest.

Thank you Bernadette!

let me give them another week here and then I will let you know. they were unpacking boxes today. What area of the store did you see them at?

Friday the avoidance thing worked out well. I'm thinking I should make a point of walking at lunch to limit time with that person. My office is high on a hill so that won't work too well on cold days but maybe I should mall walk on those days as the mall is about 2 miles down the road.


I called IPO about the ADR's they messed up-made most of them for 3 instead of 2 and got all those fixed. I also changed Jiko to Boma. AND.....I told them I couldn't do a party of 4 for the Sunrise Safari on Thursday. She said I would have to talk to the "safari" office about that. I told the safari folks that I didn't have Terry & Halley on my reservation because they would only be there for one night and I didn't want to buy park tickets or DDP for them. She said I could add them to the room after I got there and they had lots of openings for the safari on Sunday. I am so excited that Terry & Halley can join us on this. I'm sure they will love it!!!!





In other good news.....I got my Christmas stuff put away.

Jennifer (TX)-my Lizzy wears a size 3 shoe. How's your back doing?
