DDA Chapter 26

[bear74]

hope everyone has a good night.

 

[bethbuchall]

Good night, DDA!

That's cute. I'm not sure I'd bother with the spiral binding and lamination, though. I guess it depends on how much abuse it will take.

the people said the cover was on the thin side so that is why they laminated it. They spiral bound it they said to make it easier to fold for the characters.

Jen Chris wants to know if your watching the Pats? Some good moves in that game

 

[my3princes]

I should be exhausted considering I worked from 7:30 - 2:30 and again 5 - 10:30, but I'm too wound up to sleep. Hopefully I'll unwind quickly as I've got to be up in the morning to send the kids off to school. It was fairly busy at the restaurant tonight, but mostly late.

I missed half of it! I went to the dr after work and got medicine and went to bed right after halftime..I did see the kickoff return for a touchdown at the beginning of the 3rd quarter though!

Good morning all--off to work! This sinus thing is miserable, but as long as its gone by Saturday, ill be fine

Good morning.

I finished Mockingjay last night...I liked how it ended.

I haven't read any of that series. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Anyone read Uglies, Pretties, and Specials by Scott Westerfeld? They are well-written, and I loved Uglies. I'm not sure I'm happy about where they are headed at the end of Pretties and can't decide whether I want to read Specials or not, though. I don't want to read too much about it and have it spoiled, but I'm kind of in a grumpy frame of mind lately and don't want an unsatisfactory ending either.

I had never heard of these, until I saw that the author is coming to DS's school this month. I Googled to see what he was all about. I'll have DS report back after he hears the guy speak.

No, I haven't. I reserved Freedom by J Franzen at the library but its not in yet. I started it on my Nook for Driod. There was a 2 chapter sample for free so I started reading it & it was ok so I figure why not finish the book since I have seen some good reviews.

Good morning.

Yay!!! I'm so glad you liked it!! I did too, but I seem to be in the minority where I live. I need to read it again today and tomorrow. Book club is on Thursday and we're discussing it. Should be interesting!

Got the phone call this morning that my bio father has passed, and I have no emotion.

I hope you feel better. Mine is definitely better, but not gone yet. At least I don't feel like I hit a wall with my face

You've never mentioned him so I assume that you didn't have a relationship with him. If that is the case then why would you have emotion? It would be like hearing that some guy up the street that you didn't really know died.

Heidi, I knew my father quite well and I had no emotion when he died, either. Regret that he was able to cause so much damage while he was alive, maybe, but nothing else.

I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all reaction in these situations. You feel what you feel, and that's perfectly OK.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I relised after I posted that I probably never told anyone here about him.

I was four when we left so I don't remember much, and he was never around after that. I wouldn't have known him if I triped over him.

I figured since you never mentioned him that he wasn't a big part of your life.

overall feeling pretty good. In that new baby fog where I can't figure out where all the hours and days go by. She is a wonderful baby. Barely ever cries. Bill is still on cloud 9...and being very helpful. If I could only figure out how he could actually nurse her I'd be in fine shape

She is adorable! Phil is being a big help here as well, but almost too much so. I can't even get up from my chair without him worrying about doing something to help me. It's almost funny sometimes.

I remember Chris saying that he didn't have anything the boys wanted at 2 AM. I did however start pumping from day one so we always had a bottle in the house. He would usually take the boys anytime between 5 AM and when he left for work. If he gave a bottle I would just pump one side when I got up and feed from the other. We never had nipple confusion so all was good and I appreciated all the help that I could get.

I've been considering doing that as well, but don't know if it would be worth it because Phil just can't seem to get comfortable holding her for more than a few minutes. He's just so stiff and I can't figure out how to get him to relax. It was with the same with Terra and I can even see a bit of it in how he hugs his mom who is smaller and seems more frail in the last couple of years, so I think it's just ingrained in him. We have been using a pacifier a little bit this time around and she hasn't had any nipple confusion issues. Plus, it's cut down on the amount of pacifing that I'm used for which I discovered later was something Terra did a lot of.

So far I have a vitamin D deficiency, my ESR blood work came back positive for inflammation which can be an indicator of RA or Lupus, I'll be seeing a rhuematologist for follow up on that one. But the thing that has me in a turmoil is the brain scan, I wasn't overly concerned at first but the more I think about it the more I work myself up.

I had a "spell" on the 23rd, that effected my vision and gave me the worst pain in my head that I have ever experienced, since then I've had pressure on the left side of my face that is causing a "shadow" on the peripheral vision along with pain and numbness. I'll be going to a neurologist for this one, my primary care doctor suspects trigeminal neuralgia, and the MRI was to look for possible tumors.

Deb - I thought about Hunter during the MRI, poor baby, it definitely wasn't a pleasant experience, the "tube" is bad enough without having that helmet put on your head, I had it done with and without contrast, so we went through the process, they let me out of the "tube" , gave me the injection and did the whole thing over again. Hunter's a trooper, and it's amazing how well he did.

It appears that what was thought to be TMJ last October was actually related to what's going on now.

I go to my eye doctor in the morning for an exam, my primary care doctor just wants to cover all bases, and it's time for a new prescription for my contacts anyway.

Yuck! I really hope that they can give you some answers soon. I can't even imagine all you're going through right now. We'll be praying!

I got one tote made. I really like the oiled canvas fabric. It was $12.99/yard but I had a 40% coupon and it is really wide so I can make a one bag out of 1/4 yard of each fabric so each bag is about $3.50. It has a little tie sewed onto the bottom so you can roll it up. Only problem is I can't decide if the size made per the pattern (a free thing from JoAnns) is a good size. It is about 14" wide and 17" tall. It seems a bit tall to me.

That's really cute. I like it a lot!

I knew I forgot to ask something 2 weeks ago!!

I am willing to organize it if we get enough responses. Give me a holler here or on facebook if you would like to do it. We'll have 2 Sundays from now be the deadline.

Debbie-I am so sorry you are going through all of this trouble. I hope it is easily solved!!

Bernadette-that tote is adorable. Looks just perfect for the library or store.

You all have been in my prayers but I just haven't been up to posting anything even on Facebook.

I had to punish Abi for the first time since moving here on Friday...oh my goodness it the hardest thing I have ever had to do because of what she did. She made me laugh (to myself) about it because after hearing her punishment she said it was very fair and reasonable

The band had their first TOB (tournament of bands) on Saturday which is a whole different animal than band competitions in Colorado. They scored well and are improving even if their standing didn't reflect that. I have had a talk with the band director and he is overwhelmed with a lot of things that I can't help with but I told him I would help where I could. I can't imagine working with a group of parents as cliquey as these folks and some of them still think the previous director can do no wrong even though he was CONVICTED of having sex with a minor (one of his students) and served time.

I'm glad that they're doing better! Good luck with the parents and helping the director. Sounds like he needs the luck too.

What do you all think about using this for an autograph book.

People are saying they took it to staples or other office stores and had the spine cut off and spiral; bound and the front and back laminated.

I think that's a great idea. I've thought of doing something similar before, but hadn't found something that wasn't hardback and heavy. I love it! Nice and simple, but fun and a good keepsake, with your hands full next time around.

Good afternoon, DDA! Just a quiet day around here. Much more of that and I might lose my mind!

Sorry for your loss, my DD can relate, her bio father hasn't seen her since she was three, his loss not hers.


Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust, the MRI was normal so we're dealing with nerves and not tumors, I'll take that option. I still have to see the neurologist but I feel a TON of relief.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Debbie glad to hear the mri was clear, good luck going forward.
