Bernadette - I am sorry to hear about your friend's accident. I hope you can get to see her and that she recuperates well.

for your friend Bernadette.

Becky prayers being said for your cousin

DH put a bid in on a grocery route on Friday and they told him today he has the route. He is very pleased. Now he will run the same 3 stores every week and feel more in control of his work. He will also have Fri & Sat off every week - no more rotating.

Weekends off is nice!

For those of you not on FB......

Oh my goodness, how pretty!

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

I knew I was forgetting somebodys...

Beth- Congrats to Laura's swim team and your upcoming trip to FL!!!!

Terri- Many good thoughts for your friend. You and Steffy are great friends to help her through these tough times.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thank you!

Even the older girls? That IS odd. Alyssa will be in 2 dances, one tap and one ballet. Since she's been in ballet for several years and we already have those pictures, she decided that I should buy the ones of her in her tap costume. I refused to buy both packages, at $27 a pop. I can't photo/videograph her recitals, but I can do both at the dress rehearsals. That's another thing that her studio gets you for. They will "professionally" record the recital, and then sell you the DVD of the ENTIRE show for $35. Sorry, but this mom isn't shelling out MORE money to see my daughter dance twice for about 180 seconds each dance. I'm sure Alyssa will be scarred for life.

Even the older girls. AND they don't wear costumes to the dress rehearsal, so if you took pics/videos it wouldn't be as cute as the recital. They do sell DVDs but my bosses didn't buy one because Princess was in ONE dance!

Elizabeth tell DH congrats on a more stable run, hope he likes it.

Thank you!

Beth - Congrats to Laura & her team! All I know about Universal hotels is that I booked a room in Feb. and they STILL have not charged me for it! We just booked one night at Royal Pacific because it was least expensive.

Princess has swimming this morning, and I need to book a haircut for her. DS has a band concert tonight at the high school.

Good morning, DDA -

Deb - I'm sorry that Reilly isn't showing much improvement this morning. I hope that he continues to be without pain. that everyone has a chance to adjust before it's time to say goodbye. Lots of prayers for your niece as well. I hope she's doing okay.

Tammi - Beautiful picture!!! Our girls wear light makeup for the recital, but not alot. With all of the lights, I can't imagine my pale child in all those lights. We've got the same thing on DVDs here only I think they're $40. Yeah, I think we'll just video tape at the rehersal.

Beth - Congrats to Laura's team! I'm glad you made it through the weekend well. Miles' birthday sounds like it was nice.

Elizabeth - I'm pretty impressed with your morning yesterday. I rarely manage more than 3 errands in a day without losing it. Congrats to DH on the new route. I hope it works out to be a good move for him. Sorry about DS' retainer. What a pain to have to get there twice on top of everything else.

Becky - Good luck with the race. Sounds like a lot of work to add to your already busy schedule. Prayers for your cousin and her family.

Bernadette - Prayers for your friend as well. I hope you can get a chance to go see her.

Elin - Have a good time at your conference this week. Sounds like it will be a busy week.

Tom - Good luck finding homes for the kittens. I feel you on the wishing for school to be out. We've got a week and a half left and I can't wait. Even without Terra in school it gets crazy in the last few weeks, plus everything for Rachel, Kassie, Connor....

Well, yesterday ended up as crazy as imagined, but it was a lot of fun! Terra had fun at her last dance class. They did a couple of last recital run throughs and then figured out their ending bows and class picture pose. Granny, my dad and my aunt all got to watch her since it was observation day (they open the curtains on the last class of each month). From there, we went to grab strollers from two locations, through the drive thru for lunch and off to the zoo.

It was a beautiful day for the zoo and we got to see a lot even though Terra and I only have about two hours. Towards the end, we ran into a friend who works at the zoo. He gave us his employee pass to take the kids on the train, children's zoo, etc for free. Luckily, we had just enough time for the train before Terra and I had to leave as that's the one thing Terra always wishes we could do.

We headed straight from there to our last Daisy meeting, which was fun and not as stressful as I feared. My co-leader is a little OCD about having specific plans, far in advance, and one thing planned wasn't going to happen after all and the rest of my plans for the meeting were very flexible/fluid since it was our last meeting and I wanted the girls to decide what we did for most parts. Finally left there, delivered the baby to her dad, picked up Phil and ended with picking up some chicken for a very easy dinner. Whew!

That whole comp shopping, yeah, wasn't happening after that full day. So so we've got to get Granny and Pam to the airport today, hopefully have an easy baby day and then get the shopping done tonight. And sometime, I'll finally make it over to Kristi's to watch last week's Biggest Loser finale on her DVR. By then I may need to make it the Dancing with the Stars finale too since I'm not sure I'll see that either.

Happily, I think I've got a day or two off coming up soon so I'm looking forward to that. Of course, that just means Terra will fill the day with her stuff. Gotta love it, though! :

Hi, everyone! I'm here, just having problems with my computer, so I haven't been posting much. I thought I'd better reply, though, so I can start getting email notifications at this address! Going back to catch up on yesterday! Talk to y'all soon!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Hi Glynis

I just figured you were busy getting ready for your trip, not long now.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Kristine sent me a text about 30 minutes ago that she is stuck on Toy Story Mania. Better than Small World!

Depending on what's going on while you're stuck, that wouldn't necessarily be too bad. Can you play? Are they stuck with the sound looping? Definitely better than Small World or Splash Mountain though.

 

[my3princes]

I've manged work, errands and a very short nap. Some woman came to the door selling something She didn't have a prayer of selling me anything after waking me up.

The boys just came through the door. Nick is excited to try on his new dress shoes as they were delivered sometime today.

Again. She's been stuck on that one before hasn't she. If I remember right it was for over an hour the last trip.

 

[tmfranlk]

Ahhhh the sounds of quiet! Kristi and her two went home, Dad took Granny and Pam to the airport, Mom left to get Rachel for a Girl Scout field trip, Terra's in the bathtub and the baby is asleep. It doesn't get much better than this! Totally what I needed right this moment. The only thing missing is the Vanilla Diet Coke I was hoping to run and get before the last of the adults left, but I'll take it anyway. Ahhhh.....

 

[babytrees]

Again. She's been stuck on that one before hasn't she. If I remember right it was for over an hour the last trip.

I thought that too.

 

[my3princes]

I'm off to my second job. Have a great evening.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

So the schedule for the dance place where Princess goes is on the desk. It appears that the latest any classes for her age start is 12:15! If she isn't out of school until 11:45 there is NO WAY I can make it to dance, change her clothes, and get her into the classroom in 30 minutes. The school and the dance place are nowhere near each other, and the area around the dance place gets VERY traffic-y at lunch time. And speaking of lunch, I don't think she eats at school! If that is the case I am going to REFUSE to agree to a 12:15 dance class. There is NO WAY, and I do mean NOOOO WAY, that will work if she has not eaten. I e-mailed Momboss about it, so we'll see what she thinks.

 

[Glynis]

Hi Glynis

I just figured you were busy getting ready for your trip, not long now.

That too. With the computer acting up, it's giving me added incentive to get ready for the trip. All the shopping is done, shirts are ready, and non-essentials are packed.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Thanks for all the well wished for my friend Sheri.

So I hate not having a good camera, but am too indecisive to decide what I want. Sometimes I drive myself nuts. Actually most of the time I drive myself nuts.

You should look into the Nikon P90-it is a high end point & shoot like your old Sony. I think it was a 20x zoom. I don't know too much about it but I hear it has some same components as my D90.

DH put a bid in on a grocery route on Friday and they told him today he has the route. He is very pleased. Now he will run the same 3 stores every week and feel more in control of his work. He will also have Fri & Sat off every week - no more rotating.

That sounds much better!

For those of you not on FB......

My little tapster. She's dancing to Razzle Dazzle from Chicago.

Beautiful!!!!

I too remember her getting stuck on that last year. PLEASE don't let Joe find out. He won't go on any ride he thinks might get stuck. He wouldn't go on Spaceship Earth with me because they got stuck on it last August (as I ran for fast passes for Soarin) and they got stuck on Small World too but I was OK missing that one. I wouldn't be able take him if he won't go on TSM.

Depending on what's going on while you're stuck, that wouldn't necessarily be too bad. Can you play? Are they stuck with the sound looping? Definitely better than Small World or Splash Mountain though.

You can often shoot but you can NOT earn points.

Ahhhh the sounds of quiet! Kristi and her two went home, Dad took Granny and Pam to the airport, Mom left to get Rachel for a Girl Scout field trip, Terra's in the bathtub and the baby is asleep.

Enjoy the quiet.
