DDA Chapter 27

[Tammi67]

Hi all!

I've been reading along but between working, housekeeping, volunteering at school, and kids' activities, I just haven't had time to post.

My parents' are coming into town tomorrow, and then the kids have spring break next week. We'll have our Easter with the kids on Saturday and then they will go to their dad's. I'm looking forward to some down time next week as they will stay with him on the days that I'm working. Then on Wed and Thurs when I'm off they'll come home. I'll have to think of some fun things that we can do.

Hugs and to you all.

Good morning

I have Netflix & received a code from them for friends to try them for a month free. If anyone is interested let me & I will forward the email to you.

Deb, your package arrived today, and I love him! (I know that Miles will, too). I am embarrassed to say that the envelope that I have for you is still sitting in my car waiting for a stamp. I will definitely stop by the post office tomorrow and get that in the mail. Thanks so much!

I finally have a second to post. Monday and Tuesday was both jobs. I left the house at 8 AM and returned home around 10 PM. I ended up on the phone with Verizon from 10-11 PM as my Droid has been dropping calls. They still have no idea why. I finally went to sleep around midnight and was up at 5 AM. I had my Delivery ride along with a Propane driver today. I had to be in at 6:30. Turns out he works 12 hour shifts and my supervisor failed to warn me. Thankfully I didn't have to work at the restaurant tonight as I didn't get home until 6 PM (he started at 5:30 AM). Tomorrow I work both jobs again. I'm certainly looking forward to the weekend.

Good evening, everyone! Thanks for all the well wishes for Katie. Unfortunately, her project was not chosen to go on to Washington D.C. She was disappointed, but took it really well. I was so proud of her. She hates speaking in front of people, but she handled defending her project to the judges very well.

It has been a horribly gloomy day today. Drizzly and wet! Leslie came home from school sick, and then at naptime, Timothy also began throwing up. I'm just looking forward to Alan getting home so I can have some down time.

My Droid Incredible has been dropping calls, vibrating and not stopping, unless I play with the volume control, randomly switching to speakerphone, calling people while I am already talking to someone else, tonight it dropped a call and then was ghost dialing. It looked like I was pressing the keys to dial the phone but I wasn't then it locked up. I was at the VZW store twice on Sunday. They did a hard reset on it then. I was still having issues so they are sending out a replacement, it better be here before I leave for my trip.

I hope you are all doing well

Good morning.

This pollen is killing me!

They wanted to send me a "new" phone too, but it is a refurbished phone and I'd rather have my actual new phone if I can manage it. We'll see what happens.


I'm off to work soon, both jobs and I need to be up early for work tomorrow morning so I probably won't have time to check in again until tomorrow night. Have a great couple of days. Hopefully we'll all see improved weather.

Good morning,

Tammi, I agree..we have a yellow blanket everywhere & my son & I are not happy about it.

Our baskets are done. The family wanted homemade meatballs & tortilini for dinner so that's what we are having. I will have to make something else for me that's more diet friendly though..not sure what yet. I did see a recipe for a 2 pt cupcake that I am going to make for dessert. It's just yellow or angel food cake mix combined with 20 oz of crushed pinapple. Bake cupcakes per box directions & top with fat free cool whip.

Good morning I think the sun is trying to peek out, now if it would just warm up!

Anne Marie the cupcakes sound good, let me know how they turn out. I made brownies last week with diet coke & the family gobbled them up lol

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[mommykds]

Janet,
Will do! I heard you can do chocolate cake & diet cherry coke (or plain diet coke) but I haven't tried that either.

 

[Tammi67]

Anne Marie - You are cooking?! =) I agree with Janet, the cupcakes sound yummy.

Elin - You need to change your sig. Spring is NOT what is in the air.

Anne Marie - You are cooking?! =)

Yep!!!

Good afternoon, DDA! Somehow this week flew by, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be over.

I haven't even decided what we are having for Easter dinner. I'm leaning towards steak, since we're also celebrating Matthew's birthday.

The pollen levels are high here, too, and I'm definitely feeling them. There were also snow flurries in the air today. The worst of both worlds!

We had an Easter egg hunt at preschool today. The kids had a lot of fun! It was cold outside, though, so I'm glad that it went quickly.

We still need to dye Easter eggs, but I'm waiting until Matthew is home. I'm not sure he really cares anymore, though.

One of Laura's teachers scheduled an AP practice exam for Saturday from 9 am - noon. I'm pretty sure that she isn't Christian, so she probably didn't even think about it being Easter weekend. Laura can't go to the other practice exam that is after school, because she has to work, so I guess she'll be at the Saturday one. She also has a lot left to do on her research paper for English. Between her schoolwork and having to drive Matthew back up to school on Sunday, this weekend is going to pass much too quickly!

In case I don't make it back on until Monday...Happy Easter, DDA!

afternoon all.

I agree with Tammi the pollen is for the birds. I was supposed to go to a meeting at work today. But woke up with a headache, sore throat and sinus pressure.

I am in the midst of baking 2 cakes a batch of cupcakes and possibly brownies. All for the march of dimes bake sale that is tomorrow at work.

 

[bethbuchall]

Good morning, DDA!

Good morning.

I am boiling up some eggs for coloring this weekend. All the kids still want to do them. Baskets are done but uneven so I am going to run to get 1 more thing for my son today.

Happy Easter.
