Kristine hugs for Bill & you

I was hoping like everyone else to be reading news of a new DDA baby!

Robyn I did no realize you were job hunting, hope you find something you like

 

[triplefigs]

Popping in to see if there was any news on baby Austin.

Sending hugs to everyone who needs them for sick family members, Heidi's loss, job decisions, school troubles, work issues...

I work 6 out of the next 8 nights, so I will be pretty incognito. Hope everyone has a great week!

My managers dh was suppose to have his bypass & heart valve replacement this morning. They had him all prepped & ready to go & the Dr. called in sick I know they are human too, but I can honestly say this is the 1st time I have heard this lol

So now it has been rescheduled for next Thursday. I really hope it happens this time!

There is a thorasic surgeon that comes in to swim every morning. He goes all out and is totally wiped by the time he gets out of the pool, then he heads off to preform surgeries. Surgeons are just normal people that do normal things outside of work hours. We also have 2 ob/gyns and several nurses that swim in the morning.

Thank you Denise. I hope those 6 nights go fast for you.

How can he be on top of his game with his surgeries, if he is tired from his workout?

I was wondering the same Heidi

How does anyone do a strenuous 60 minute workout then turn around and go to work? Second Wind?

Kristine,,,, to Bill and you.

Of course, in there I've got to see what I can figure with my/Terra's troop. My co-leader is driving up the wall and upsets me again with each new email. As much as I hate to admit it, I just don't know if I can make our personalities mesh with me as the leader. I'm going to talk to my other co-leader tomorrow (her troop from last year and ours merged for this year) and see what advice/ideas she has. Depending on that and how the next meeting goes, I may go ahead and move us out of that troop. I am leading Kassie's 2nd grade troop so I'll just officially register Terra with them and let the current co-leaders assume our 1st grade troop. I really like working with these girls and I really hate to think of abandoning the troops, but I also don't want the issues I feel exist to put any damper on their year either. I know it sounds silly, but any prayers or pixie dust for the wisdom to do the right thing for all involved, but especially the girls, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Hope you can work things out without too much stress.

Oh yeah, one last thing before I head to bed...We had such a good time with Wendy, Michael and Danae today. It's amazing how far Michael has come since I first read his Make a Wish trip report and first met them here just before his big surgery almost 2 years ago. He's grown a lot, matured some and is improving in lots of ancillary ways as well now that the major issues are resolved and/or able to be better managed.

That is great news! Glad he's doing so much better!

Pedicure will be tomorrow after my last day of work. I was able to at least convince her to let me finish out the week at work if I kept my feet up a lot more than normal... so I'm really gonna try. I wonder how much I should be "off my feet" when I'm at home...I never really clarified that with her...can I take walks? She didn't say I was on bedrest, just to keep my feet up...
I plan on stopping at Walmart too and picking up a pineapple.

Hope you're holding your little bundle very soon!

Bill's mother is doing very poorly...I am wondering if the end is near.

She has been on and off sick for 3 weeks....she seems so unresponsive and her hands have begun to turn black.

Bill is the only child...so I feel bad for him.....

I am so hoping for a peaceful release..and soon.

So sorry for Bill.

I have an issue with my Daisy co-leader. Needless to say, tomorrow night will be her 1st and last meeting as such.

I am off to spend the day submitting applications. Hopefully, I'll find something.

Good luck with your troop & job search!

I posted this on my PTR but I know not all of you read those things (I don't always read them either, if they are on a different thread!). But I wanted to ask opinions about our AP purchase next month so I am pasting my entire post here so you all don't have to go find it. Thanks to anyone who might have first-hand knowledge of this situation!

I am fairly sure you can use the pass to get into the park and then go right to guest relations in that park and get full value for the ticket! Or turn around and walk out of the park and use that guest relations-I'm pretty sure once it is used it immediately has full value.

Life has spiraled out of control with work, sports and homework, but I have started a trip report and will hopefully post soon.

Hope things slow down a bit soon!

I'm planning on taking the family to the Aquatic Center tonight. Chris wants to take a spinnning class at 5:45 and I want to take a poolates class at 6:30. The kiddos can swim. I also need to dig out some warmer clothes as the highs for this weekend are in the low 60s. We need to pack for the Great Escape, the water park and for the evening cruise at the car show. Some indoor activities and some outdoor activities and not too warm.

I was freezing when I left work tonight!

They made 5th grade chorus optional! Yay!!!! Think someone is stalking me here? They did change the way that band and orchestra are done. Instead of missing class time for large group practice, they need to miss recess once a week for each, and one other time during the week, they'll miss time at the end of the day. They still miss once a week for small group lessons. Miles is just thrilled not to be doing chorus, and he has also decided not to try a band instrument.

Laura had almost 3 hours of homework last night. She wants to know what is up with that much homework on the first day of school! She may also be giving up synchronized swimming but hasn't fully committed to that yet. She is pretty sure that she won't have time for synchro (which is 10+ hours of practice time per week...more like 13+ hours if you add in drive time, changing time, etc), and she doesn't really love it any more. It is hard for her to imagine not doing it, though, so she needs a little more time to decide.

I went to preschool and cleaned for over 6 hours today. I need to go back for more tomorrow. I have a headache from dust and cleaning chemicals.

Yay for no chorus! Good luck to Laura!

How does anyone do a strenuous 60 minute workout then turn around and go to work? Second Wind?

I wouldn't know.

I have a new ticker!

Booked air fare for December. It was $119 each way which isn't great but I could live with that. The flight we originally wanting to take down on Tuesday 12/1 at 11:30am was up to $159 so we added a night to our reservation to fly down Monday at 4:30pm instead. It was cheaper to book the extra night at Pop than the airfare. PLUS we get an extra night of free dining points!!! Hopefully we won't get any snow that day!!!!!

Work is starting to get crazy so I'm going to need this trip to look forward to. Now I have to make sure I get all ready for Christmas BEFORE my trip!!! I think I'll get my Christmas cards made soon with a photo from our Aug trip-then I can bring them to Disney and do in the airport and on the plane!

Elin, did you see the Jazz in the Courtyard event at Ingleside next weekend?

Were you thinking of going?

Hi, DDA!

Quick fly-by post to let you guys know that Austin arrived safely at 7:57 this morning. He weighed 6 lbs, 5 ozs and was 19 inches long. We are just thrilled with him, and appreciate everyone's prayers and PD.

I will post pics as soon as possible, but as I'm still being treated for BP issues (with the dreaded mag drip), I can barely keep my eyes open and am not mobile as of yet. But I have high hopes for tomorrow.

Good night, DDA!

I so thrilled for you I'm glad he is here safely. The dreaded mag drip will soon be a distant memory as you spend time with your bundle of joy. Thanks for taking the time to update us.
