DDA Chapter 27

[PNO4TE]

This made me LOL!!!

That's because you know me so well!

Good morning!

I am having 6 girls at my house tonight for a sleepover. UGH! I think Nicholas and I will hide in my bedroom!

I have an entire wine rack overflowing...

 

[PNO4TE]

Deb - I agree that you made the right choice. And for the MRI!!

 

[Tammi67]

So far so good. . Two pizzas down, as well as an entire tray of fruit. They did crafts for awhile and now they are having a Just Dance party. It's pretty funny. Alyssa wanted Nicholas to scram but all the girls wanted him to dance along. Then the girls wanted me to dance with them and I hear Alyssa say "please, mom, no." Does she think I would embarass her or something??? Luckily it's a good group of sweet girls.

Deb - I know change is hard but I think you did the right thing.

Glynis - I hope Alan makes it home tomorrow.

Tia - school carnival sounds fun!

I think the twins know that my back is giving me a lot of pain tonight. They have been extremely fussy all afternoon. normally they take their bottles around 8 and by this time they are usually both asleep. Not tonight.

Does anyone have Thermal Curtains?

 

[Disney Yooper]

I decided to take a personal day today to sort through everything.

I had filled out a Need for Services Application at the Hospital when I was laid off just to see if they'd be able to help with the portions that remain after our previous (crappy) insurance paid. They didn't have an answer so I ended up cancelling Hunter's appt for Monday until we know for sure where we stand as far as insurance goes. A couple of hours later they called back and said that they will reduce our charges by 50% and set up a payment plan (I've been paying them for years anyway) AND because of Hunter's medical necessity they are reducing his balance by 100%. He Can Have His MRI on Monday!!! I was able to reschedule him into the same spot. God is certainly looking out for us. I've been in tears since the phone call.

I've also made the decision to take the Federal Job at the VA. It won't be easy saying goodbye to my new coworkers, but it is without a doubt a better opportunity for us now and an investment in our future. Chris was totally onboard yesterday, but it took him a while to convince me. I know that it is only guaranteed for a year, but it can be offered to me for 4 years and once in I can apply for any permanent position that comes up. It's a calculated risk that I have to take. When my current HR told me that she would take it and told me that benefits were going to get worse at the oil co come August, I think that is a bigger risk.

Good decision!

We have thermal curtains in the living room. They make a big difference, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I bought ours online for a really good price.


Thanks for all the support. I think you're all right and I'm feeling much less stressed tonight.

It's not bad, but then it's not a big thing either. We're talking little games with crappy prizes. At least Terra won the "pig race" so she got a 3" tall bear. Otherwise, we've got 3 temp tatoos, 4 stickers and a small handful of candy of which she likes about 2 pieces. Yup, that's what $10 got me. Maybe we'll get lucky with the raffle baskets. This year seemed less crowded too which increased the enjoyability of it. Usually I've got a headache by the time we leave.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

I survived!

But more importantly, so did the girls.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Tammi-glad to hear all went well!
Deb-Im glad the decision making is over for you-I think you made a great decision

Good morning everyone! I have 27 teaching days left of school! I cannot believe it. The house is coming along really well. I should clean up some of the tools this weekend and take more pictures of it for "after" shots, even though it isnt completely done. my best friend had a baby boy on Thursday. I went to the hospital yesterday and cannot wait til they come home! Im off to my house to go get all the weeds out of there!

 

[my3princes]

My plans for the weekend are to keep myself so busy that I don't have time to think. I'm working on washing all the camper bedding, I need to deep clean the main bathroom and kitchen and I need to get the boys to do a quick clean up in their rooms. We've been making that a Sunday project and it seems to help keep other areas picked up if they stay on top of their rooms. Today Nick has an away Lacrosse game. His coach it away at his son's college graduation so the Varisity coach has asked Chris to step up and assist today. Chris is super happy. He is working until Noon then we'll pick him up on the way out of town. I have to get Nick to the bus anyway. That should kill most of the afternoon. Tonight Chris and I will watch the NASCAR race. Colby wants to sleep in the camper so we'll have to decide if that's going to happen or not.

I don't, but I'm sure that I just googled closeout thermal curtains and went from there.

 

[my3princes]

Nick's team won He played a really good game though he got poked in the head a couple of times. He's got a bump on his forehead and another on his nose. That was from the butt end of a stick that went through his mask

The Varsity lost there game by a lot so we were super excited to see the JV Team do so well.
