DDA Chapter 20

[my3princes]

Here is some exciting news.....

My son-in-law just posted on Facebook....received a call from the White House communications staff last night. Myself, Guenna, and Nicholas were invited to have a 30-minute chit-chat with President Obama Wednesday around 11AM at the White House. We're going, of course, along with only about 8 other people who were invited and who helped him in the early days of the campaign. At around 11:30 we'll "meet the press" to talk about the meeting.

Then Guenna posted.....OK, everyone. We may or may not be standing behind President Obama when he gives his televised speech (check CNN, CNBC) between 11-12:30 midday. And Nick has a big letter to give to the President from his school. Loving it!

Guenna told me will be wearing a t-shirt that says "One day I will be able to vote" he remembered he had the shirt and when he realized what was going to happen, he asked to wear it. Of course, it will be under a button up!!!!

Wow, that is very exciting I'll have to try to watch it.

Elizabeth - for you and also one for DS. This sounds like a tough time for both of you.

Bernadette - for your new laptop! What did you end up with? The Sony Vaio?

 

[tinknme]

SOOOOOO......I'm posting from my new laptop! I brought it in to work today and they unloaded all the crap and loaded MS Office. He told me to go buy a router at lunch and he got that all set up too so I just had to plug it in when I got home.


We had a nice Easter. We went to church but my SIL wasn't preaching. My DH took her to the ER Monday-she has pneumonia. There has been a lot of that around here. One of the neighbor kids had it, Lizzy's scout leader's son had it, and one of my coworker's boyfriend who is probably in early 40's is in the hospital in intensive care.

for the new laptop!

Sorry to hear about your sil, hope she is well soon

That is so cool Terry!!! I will have to see if I can see them.

Bernadette-Cassidy would be so jealous...she wants a laptop...I am not sure why....but what do I know??

 

[Tammi67]

Taxes are done! I just efiled. I'm getting a very, and I mean VERY, slight refund. But no matter how slight, it's better than having to pay.

Terry, that is awesome!

Tammi glad you got Nicholas's glasses taken care & thank goodness for the insurance!

Yay for getting the glasses taken care of!

Ds's grades tanked when the semester changed. Last report card his only A was in Band, but he did manage to pass all 7 classes for that marking period. Friday ends the second marking period of the semester and yes, he could fail as many as 4 classes. If that happens, and he doesn't pull out of it the final marking period then he is on a very slippery slope. If he fails the semester exams (which is likely if he nearly fails all 3 marking periods) I don't think he will pass for the year. Then there are the state tests, which he has always ACED. He may fail those. Because I have NO CLUE what's wrong with him. He has only taken one state test so far. I have been HOUNDING him to see if the teachers have said anything about those test results, but he claims not.

So my day went like this...

At Lu's pre-op...
Lu had a hearing test, she could not hear any of the softest sounds they played. She still has fluid in both her ears. Her throat is redder than red. She is on yet another antibiotic. She was beyond tired and threw a lovely tantrum!

Came home, fed Lu and put her down for a nap. I scarfed down a sandwich before I picked up Mo at her friend's house.

At Mo's well visit-
She has grown 4 inches this past year. And she has asthma! What?!?!? She started coughing on Saturday. Her doctor listened to her and heard the wheeze. Gave her a breathing treatment and then listened to her again. Yep, asthma. Ok, fine. She is on Singulair and an inhaler. Need to go back in 3 weeks to have her listened to again. Forgot to get her shot record which I need for Kindergarten registration And Mo had to have a shot which freaked her out! Took 2 of us to hold her while she got the shot.

And our dr wants Em to see a GI dr. She gave me some probiotics in the meantime.

I see lots more doctor visits in our future. Which make Eric very grumpy as he gets the job of staying home with the daycare kids, which then in turn, makes me very grumpy!!

We are so busy with everything that I get on here and read but my mind is always thinking about 30 or 40 things that I can't focus. I am stressed about our camping trip in May, it is fast approaching and I feel woefully unprepared. Lots of other GS activities too that are creeping up on me. I have Mo's party next weekend which means a cake. And then the very next day I have another cake request for Em's best friend. Eek!! We have every weekend booked from now til the end of June!

Robyn-sounds like alot goign on! what a day!

 

[ReAnSt]

I filed our state yesterday & we owed

Sorry you need to pay. I always have to pay state taxes. It is always an amount less then $100, but always need to pay something. I think it is a given well at least for me.

Tammi-Glad you got Nicholas's glasses ordered. Glad you had insurance to cover them. I have been thinking about getting contacts but am not sure. to you

Terry- Have fun! Congrats!

Debbie- I hope you get out of your funk soon.

Heidi- I hope that it all turns out to be nothing.

Elizabeth and Theresa- I hope your kids start improving their schoolwork. I went through several periods where I had crappy grades in several classes. Some years I barely passed some classes. I am sure they can do it, it is a matter of them wanting to do it.

I should be sleeping, as I have to get up early tomorrow.

No matter what we do we always owe state taxes. It is not usually very much but I can't figure out why they can't get the right amount of taxes out of our salaries?!?!?
