Good morning

Janet,

Good morning, DDA!

Janet - We'll certainly be praying. I hope everything works out for the best.

Jennifer - I'd love to do a cruise some time and thought about maybe doing that with Rachel for her graduation instead, but I've gotten the impression that her having just turned 18 at the time is a tough age - too old for the teen stuff, but not as much "adult" stuff of interest. Plus, I think her Girl Scout troop is talking about going on a cruise too. Terra's also been asking to go on a cruise too. Maybe in a few years?

Elin - I hope Bob's first day/night at home went smoothly. I've been thinking about you both a lot.

Deb - Yay for Nick's team! That's so great.

I got my boost of excitement yesterday when someone posted November park hours. So now I've been playing with my handy dandy spreadsheet. Always fun! Today we are heading out to do our April Showers pick up. It's our Girl Scout council's version of the Boy Scout food drive, but collecting personal care items. Hopefully, we really will only get the one brief shower at 10 and again at 1. They did mention snow a time or two earlier in the week, but that seems to have disappeared.

Tomorrow morning, I think I'm going to take Terra to see Hop. She hasn't asked to see a movie in a LONG time because she's always concerned about them being scary so I really want to take her since she actually came and asked.

Laura comes home today! With the long flight and time change, she'll have been traveling for almost 24 hours by the time she makes it home. She's bound to be tired and cranky, but she'll be home! (I don't look forward to getting her up for school on Monday... )

Hope she had a great time!

Good morning all! I think I will do some work on the house today and lots of relaxing. The rest of spring break looks to be busy!

Thanks! I've had a few e-mails, and it sounds like she had a wonderful time. She says she has tons of photos. (Including every public restroom she went to. )

Enjoy your spring break! I can't believe ours is done already. It went so fast. I'm not looking forward to getting back into the routine of getting the kids to school, and I'm kind of mentally done with preschool for the year (though I do love the kids).

 

[tinker1bell]

well it looks like I will need 2 rooms. not sure if I can swing that. I have looked at the first 2 pages here today since I posted this earlier

Jennifer, I would call DCL and just for grins and giggles, ask them for a quote. It couldn't hurt!!!

I hope she has a safe and uneventful trip home


We had the final day of bowling today followed by the awards banquet. The boys teams didn't do as well this year as they usually do, but they did have perfect attendance. I think it is ironic that they did so well at states this year, but not in the league. I guess every other year is was the reverse.

 

[bethbuchall]

According to the AirCanada website, she is on the ground in Toronto. She has a pretty long layover there.

 

[bethbuchall]

I am so anxious for Laura to get home! She was supposed to leave Toronto at 5:15 pm but the plane didn't leave until 7:37 pm. They are now supposed to arrive in LGA at 8:57 pm. Since it's at least 3.5 hours from LGA to here by charter bus, I will have a very late night. She is going to be tired and grumpy, but she'll be HOME. Of course, Monday morning, I'll probably be ready to send her to the moon.

Beth I just found Miles the bunny. I'll mail him out to you on Monday. He's so soft and cute

Thank you so much! Send me a PM with the cost, and I'll get the money out to you in Monday's mail, too. I know that he's almost 12, but he will still love it, especially since it has his name.

We found out this morning that if we want to get Abi to go shopping to take her when she is exhausted. She hardly put up any fight and tried swimsuits almost willingly. We all found clothes and nobody wanted to cry or yell.

Anybody have any must do's in Philadelphia? We are spending a couple of nights there next week. Something to do different during Spring Break


Hope everybody has a peaceful Sunday!!

Good Morning,

Elin, I'm so glad here that Bob is home,

Beth, hope Beth had a wonderful time and made it homw safely.

Glynnis, so sorry for your loss, prayers for yoor family.

Janet, thinking of you

I've been burning the candle at both ends, starting at 4:30 in the morning and getting to bed at 11:00 at night or later, it finally caught up to me Friday when I fell asleep at the wheel coming home, thankfully I was at a redlight ad my foot didn't slip off the brake, just woke up sitting in the road with the rest of the cars gone in front of me. That's when I decided it was time for a break, I came home and went straight to bed and slept in yesterday. We did spend yesterday afternoon helping them pack up and clean the old place, Richie took a break from there and helped our youngest daughter move in her new furniture and move out the old from her upstairs apartment. We'll spend this morning helping the oldest finish up and then we're through with that project, back to wedding prep after that. My children are wearing me out.

Yay! I'm so glad you found one! He is really cute. I'm sure Miles will love it.

Terra and I are off to see Hop this morning. Hopefully, I can stay awake for it. I was absolutely beat after yesterday and then what happens? My eyes were wide awake at 6:45 (stupid sunlight! - I promise only to say that between the hours of 6 and 8 on the only days I can sleep in ).

After that, I've got a good nine million and one things to do this week. I'm supposed to have my first training for my day camp staff on Wed night. Of course, I don't get my training until Thursday morning so this could be interesting. Plus, we've got company coming Friday night. Plus, we're having Easter here Sunday. Plus, plus, plus. Why is there always a plus, plus, plus? I think my prayer for this week is going to be simple - calm, well-behaved kids. If I can have just that (or even most of the week) it would go a long way to making everything go smoothly.

Now...I need a to do list! Anyone got a piece of poster board?

Good luck getting it all done. I have one of those weeks too. I'm working M-F at the Oil Co., M,T and TH at the restaurant, the kids are off for Spring Break (my parents are planning to do things with them). 2 of my work days will be shadowing a propane driver and a technician. That means that I will start by 6 AM and it could be 10 hour days. Nick has one lacrosse game, but it is an away game and an afternoon game so I won't be going to that one. My mom is thinking of going depending on the weather. Chris and I are starting Atkins tomorrow so we need to make a detailed grocery list and then hit the grocery store after our 2 PM meeting with a neighboring town's Lacrosse team. I also need to make a detailed list of Easter things that I need to pick up. My kids are not big candy eaters so I will need to be creative.

You be careful, Mrs. Heg!!

Janet - I have been thinking of you today. Take care of yourself, please.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good afternoon, DDA!

Nothing long and involved to report. We are doing fine. It is hard work but today was better than yesterday and yesterday was better than Friday. Let's hope that continues.

He has an appointment with our PCP tomorrow and with a surgeon on Tuesday. There is the possibility that he will have hernia surgery in the near future. Meanwhile, things are going just fine!

Debbie, I hear you about doing too much. Take it easy. I can remember when after Stephanie's and my first trip, I was coming home from work just exhausted. I was falling asleep at the wheel and if my phone had not rung, I would have driven off the road asleep!!!
