Beth - you've gotten some great advice, and yes, I agree. I would be furious.
Elizabeth - I'm glad you got an appt. with the NP.
Anne Marie - beautiful kitchen! When is the housewarming party?
for Angie.
Cold & rainy Tuesday morning....Thankfully the weather is supposed to be nice for Sophie's party this weekend.
We decided on stainless steel appliances for the new place (I am sure you were all on pins & needles waiting to hear about that!)
The cabinets are in great condition so those will be painted white & new drawer pulls will be put on. I chose that particular stove because it has 5 burners on top & the ones to the left look like a hidden Mickey!
Nicholas and I were talking last night while Alyssa was in ballet class. He started out by asking me about colleges. I think this was brought up because his friend's older brother was touring VA Tech, and they must have been talking about it. So he was asking about which universities are in VA and what would be a good college to go to to be a police officer. Then that morphed into a discussion about how what his ideas for a career will change over the years, as he grows and is exposed to different/more things in school. He proceeds to tell me that he has his life planned out, except for the person he will marry. He wants to go to college, move south to Florida so he is closer to WDW, be a police officer, get married, have 2 kids (a boy and a girl), he's not sure what he will name the boy, but he will let his wife pick the name for the girl. I teasingly asked why he doesn't know who he will marry, and he said he's keeping the options open, but if he had to choose now he would choose Bailey. I asked if she knew this and he said no. Then I told him that we should just keep that to ourselves.
Is this normal for them to start mapping out their future, or even thinking about it, at this age? Or is my kid a strange one?
She only lived 30 minutes from us. She also spoils her other grandchildren and great grandchildren and barely remembers our kids. I let it go a long time ago. I think Chris has started to let go to, he totally forgot her birthday this year and so did I
No, I really did until 3 weeks after the fact. He didn't seem to care when I mentioned it.
Pearl went out with me until this little snotty dog was let out in the back...then she and I came in.
Are you planning on getting a stainless steel hood for above the stove then?
They tried to install a microwave over the stove but they could not so we have to get a countertop one which I think will go by the fridge so you don't see it as much.
And no, I did not cook last week (I was on vacation!).
How are you doing???
I know that sounds funny - but I don't feel like I've grown in the past month. I guess I'm at the "is she or isn't she prenant" point of pregnancy. I have a whole list of things to discuss this month though...my migraines (3 in the past month) as one example. Nope, haven't missed the explanation! Just haven't gotten around to it.
) I priced out air from CLE. I found air into SNA and the redeye out of LAX 3 days later for only $238!!! I couldn't pass it up. So I emailed my mom the TA rate info and said I could cover the airfare if they got the hotel. Within 30 minutes my uncle called to pay for my flight and the hotel was booked. So we'll be there all day Thursday and Friday, and most of Saturday. The flight times and time change is probably gonna be a killer, but I'm excited to go. We'll be there durning the Food and Wine Festival and have reservations at Blue Bayou and Wine Country Trattoria. I'm dying to go on TSMM again...though no FP is kind of odd in my opinion! 
Here is my little man.....
He is just getting more and more handsome.Here is my little man.....

Thanks! After my trip I'll have to find some for Lizzy. She doesn't like low rise and that is all I can find.
Were his bosses there to witness things? I can understand how stressful this must be for you-and exhausting!No, the head lifeguard was not around. Apparently he liked sitting at home getting phone calls from everyone with complaint after complaing
Continued prayers for Angie.
Kitchen looks great-why didn't you take a photo of the hidden Mickey stove top?Cold & rainy Tuesday morning....

Joe has his life planned out-not so much career-he wants to be an exterminator or plumber or teacher or film maker or work at Disney. He wants Emma to build him a house. He will be married with 2 dogs (I think kids too but he talks more about the dogs...) and his wife will stay home to watch the dogs while he takes me to WDW.Nicholas and I were talking last night while Alyssa was in ballet class.

It is absolutely beautiful here today....I may just find some shorts and spend time on my back porch. (I would say pants but I need to laundry to be able to do that). Our snow is all gone from the weekend, leaving potholes and muck.
Cassidy came home Sunday night and seems to have had a grand time. Abi was thrilled to see her yesterday after school and about 10 minutes before bed time I could here them in Cassidy's room just giggling.
Joe told me yesterday that he was going to miss Emma when we're away. When I was away with Lizzy she really missed Joe. I agree that you have a right to be very disappointed that they don't want to be there.
Glad you got an appointment!
Doing good! Ultrasound is tomorrow (then doctors appointment, then appointment with the midwife - I swear I'll be there for 6 hours!)
I feel like I've "stalled" in being pregnant!
Nope, haven't missed the explanation! Just haven't gotten around to it.
My aunt and uncle live in San Diego and I emailed them months ago when Disney came out with free tickets to Disney. So they got some (saved them over $200) and decided to see if Mom (who is still in Vegas) want's to go. So they planned on going in the middle of May. A few weeks ago, I got an email from Disney and it had a TA rate of $99 a night at Paradise Pier and included tickets for me and one other person. So (you know, just for the heck of it...
How's that for an explination?
