DDA Chapter 26

[Glynis]

Oh, dear! I knew I'd forget something!

Bernadette - Sounds like things are progressing for your surgery. How you do all you need to do just astounds me! Good luck, and know that you are in my prayers!

Deb - You ARE the energizer bunny!!! I think I want to be you when I grow up!!! Happy birthday to Colby!! I can't believe your darling baby boy is so grown up, now! It's just not fair!!!

Thanks for the dittoable post, Anne Marie!

I remember watching it, and how it was such a big deal. I must say though, that I am so sad to see that William is inheriting his father's hairline. Poor boy.

I know!!!! me too.

Kristine - Thanks for the Marci updates! I'm so glad to see that the news is positive. What else can she look forward to? Does she have to do chemo or radiation once she's out of the hospital, and healed a bit? Just wondering what's in store for her.

Jennifer - Good luck with the townhouse bid! How truly exciting for you!!!

Tammi - I agree with you on Will's hairline, but I'm extremely glad he didn't inherit his father's ears! I remember getting up very early to watch Di's wedding, and then doing the same for Fergie. I can't wait to watch this one!! Can someone clue me in on when it will be?

It's wedding week here, too. My niece is getting married on Friday morning! I'm so excited for her! She has epilepsy, and really despaired of ever finding someone who wanted to "take her on." Luis is a great guy!!! The stress of the wedding caused Emily to have 2 grand mal seizures last week, and he stayed with her the entire time! He was really proactive with her neurologist, explaining that they are going to Italy on their honeymoon, and getting enough extra medication to have on hand in case something goes wrong. We all went out to dinner last night with Luis's family, and it was just wonderful to see him treating her like the princess she is! I can't wait to post pictures of the wedding on Friday. They truly are Cinderella and her prince Charming!

Tonight, all the ladies in the family are going out for a "Hen Party" with Emily. This is a tradition that my nephew's British wife brought to the family with her. It is a lot of fun, and I've been looking forward to it!

Thanks for the dittoable post, Glynis!

Best wishes to your niece and her prince Charming! I can't wait to see the pictures.

Not too much is happening around here. Still all the senior year stuff and getting college applications out. At least now she has settled on where she is applying and has asked for teacher recommendations. One teacher told her that she hasn't known her long enough, but the other teachers were happy to write the letters. I don't know how I am going to wait until March to find out where she has been accepted, but I guess I'll get busy doing other things and forget about it.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week already! Where did this year go.

My sister-in-law starts her chemo today. It's five days on, three weeks off. They will do another MRI after three cycles. They told her not to worry too much if there isn't much improvement right away. It's a tumor that is slow to grow and also slow to shrink. They are expecting about 18 months of chemo and will decide where to go from there.

Four weeks from today we'll be at Universal!!

I'm renting movies from the library so the kids "get it" more. This week we are going to watch The Mummy.

Nice to hear that Marci is recovering well. Continued prayers for her & her family!

Vicki-sounds like you had a nice birthday. Will you celebrate at home as well?


Deb-I don't know how you do it. I'm sure your new laundry room will be awesome!

Happy Birthday Colby!!!!!!!!

How is it possible that he is 8 already? I remember when he wasn't even a "handful" yet. Now he's twice as old!

Glynis-congrats to your niece! I'm sure you'll have a grand time tonight!

Beth-best wishes for you SIL. Sounds like she has a long haul in front of her.

Tammi-your preparations for your Dec trip sound fun!



Thanks for all the well wishes. Yesterday was a trying day. I got to work early today and finished 1 of 3 projects that needs to be complete before I'm out. I was also able to order a Jim Shore Christmas Pooh statue (today only) from Disney Movie Rewards at lunch and call and make May ADR's. So today is a MUCH better day. Still feeling overwhelmed but I'm sure everything will work out OK.

Has anyone seen the Jim Carey Christmas Carol out on DVD this week? There is a coupon good this week for the 4 disc combo pack and it is on sale at Target.

Alan and I saw it last year before Christmas and really liked it! It's different from other Christmas Carol's, but we really liked it. I think I'll be getting it for Christmas, either my stocking or Alan's. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for your insights! I may have to go buy it at lunch tomorrow.

There is a $10 coupon on disneymovierewards for the 4 disc combo pack-blu ray, 3D blu ray, dvd & digital copy. It is $29.99 at Target (less the 5% if you have Target debit or credit card). Target also has DVD only for $16.99 but you can't use the coupon on that.

Give praise to the Lord. Dad had a CT scan done about 2 weeks ago. He saw his Cancer Dr today. For now no more chemo. They will repeat the CT scan in 3 months.

I hope it shrinks much quicker than they expect. The chemo will be hard on her

I should be in bed, but we just finished painting the laundry room. I had a customer call at 4:55 tonight and he kept me on the phone until 5:30 Came home and had dinner, Chris started it before I got home. I sat down with Colby and he went over last quarter's work and read a book to me as I had a telephone with his teacher at 8 PM tonight. Between dinner and the conference call we got everything out of the laundry room and scrubbed the floor. It was disgusting under where the washer and dryer were Then I had the conference. Academically he is doing very well. The meds are really paying off for him. She did have behavioral concerns, but it is never just him and may just be an age thing. He always wants to be first in line and chats too much during group times. Overall I'm much more happy then last year. Once we Got the birthday boy in bed we were able to start painting (THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES). I ended up using a semi gloss white which is the trim color throughout the house and we did trim, walls and ceilings all the one color. We simply did not have enough time to deal with taping things off and working it in 3 different areas. It looks crisp and clean and that is all that matters. Tomorrow my Dad is picking up the appliances during the day and we'll get them installed after work.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Hunter's seizure and he went to bed with a headache tonight I gave him an Advil and checked on him a little while later and he said it was better.

Chris turns 40 tomorrow so he's a little bummed I think. I'm planning to pick up a couple of pizzas and bring them to his work for lunch. It should be a nice surprise I think.

I must go to bed now. I was so tired at work today.
