DDA Chapter 27

[Disney Yooper]

Elin, I'm sorry to hear about the setback. With you on the job, it will come in time because we all do know you!

 

[Disney Yooper]

Deb, how is the new job coming? I hope that things are going well.

I can't imagine the pain your supervisor is experiencing at this time.

The job is going well. We seem to find more files and passwords that I need. I'm hoping to have full access soon and be able to properly train. I'm keeping busy in the mean time.

One of my LAX coaches' lost a friend to suicide today. It was her sister's best friend and her sister found the body. It's heart wrenching. I think she graduated high school 2 years ago. I guess no one saw it coming.

I miss all of you so much. I need a DDA meet.

This is my most favorite photo from our September trip. For those of you not on Facebook, here it is...

This time since February of 2010 has been not the best time of my life. My daughter having the fourth miscarriage procedure but finally now she is expecting any day a little girl. Miss Vivian Olivia,,,, cannot wait to finally meet her. My youngest son and his wife are also expecting a boy in August so I will have seven total grandchildren when it is all said and done but one of them will be a girl!!!!!!

Our last male cat Miles dying in my arms.

Getting Vertigo and now a year later, having just one exercise done and it is all but gone. I still have a dizzy day once in a while but I can really deal with it.

The final blow was that my hubby was told that the program that he teaches is now done. He will be furloughed as of the middle of August. The scariest part of this will be that I will no longer have any insurance at all. He has VA benefits but nothing for me.

Hal is insisting that I still take my trip in September. I still plan to also do the 5K in January and will be asking for donations in the future.

After those two trips,,,not sure what will happen. I am not posting anything of this on Facebook. I am sure that for now Hal needs some down time. The kicker of this is that he had till November to be vested so he could collect retirement but the A$$ principal is not bending at all. I have my good days and bad days but I look at my pictures from our cruise and can get happy from that. I didn't mean to drag anyone down but felt that I could post this for all of my friends of the DDA. I love you all and will look forward to hopefully seeing you in the future.

I'm glad to hear the vertigo is better.

I know that job hunting is scary, it seems we've all done too much of it lately. I hope that one of you finds something fabulous and quickly. I think that we all have a path that we are meant to follow and sometimes there are unexpected curves in the road. Hopefully the path straightens out soon

Vicki - happy belated anniversary!

Terry - I'm so sorry to hear of your devastating news. I hope the boss comes around so Hal is able to collect what he deserves. My parents have a great private insurance in PA, I'll ask what it is/who it is through. I know they don't pay a monthly premium, but instead pay the first X amount of dollars (I want to say around $2000) toward medical expenses and then the insurance picks up the rest (on a yearly basis). With all my dad's health problems, it's been great!

I hope those babies that are coming are the bright spots in your dark days!

Terry,
I just wanted to send you some

Sorry about the news about Hal's job but so happy for you that the vertigo is better.

Hope I get to see you as well some time in the future, you are a really cool chick. (& Stephanie too!)

Chuck & I celebrated our 29th anniversary yesterday. It was wonderful. We spent two hours on the river near our house kayaking and then an hour at the ATV park playing with the 4-wheelers. We also got some more more stuff organized around the house. I finally also got a sewing project started on my brand new sewing machine. It is just about complete. I'll post pictures when it is done. It is just a teabag holder for my mom. I'll make one for my aunt as well. I have several projects that I want to try.

Happy Anniversary!!! Sounds like a fun day!

Speaking of DDA meets.......

as we were driving back from PA on Sunday we stopped in Baltimore for a few hours. I was going to treat my parents and kids to a Duck tour. They no longer have them there!!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Happy belated anniversary, Vicky & Chuck!

Deb - What very sad tales you have had to deal with lately.

Terry - Oh my. (is that enough or do you need more??)

Tammi - NO DUCK TOURS?!?!?

thanks for the quotable!!

I will add for everybody

As most of you have seen on Facebook my BIL was offered, and he accepted, a position in New Jersey. He came by on Saturday night to tell us. Cassidy has chosen to move with them out here. While I am thrilled with her coming out here I hate being lied to which is what she has done for the last month while trying to weasel out of her vacation up here next week.

I need, more than ever, a job that is Monday through Friday so that I can go and see her on a regular basis. I called out of work on Saturday because Chris was only here 6 hours and didn't feel bad after the initial phone call.

I think they cancelled the Duck Tours in Baltimore because of the accident that killed I think two people a few years ago.

It was the one in Philly that had the accident just last summer and they restarted them the day after we left in April.

I know that a couple others were on hiatus but I hadn't seen that one of them was Baltimore.

Terry - I do hope to see you again in January

Elin -

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Disney Yooper]

Good night, DDA!

 

[bethbuchall]

Good morning, DDA! Well, it's morning anyway. I had too late a night last night followed by an inability to sleep well because of the heat. I'll tell you more later, but now I have to go wake a girl that also had too late a night last night.

I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning.

SOLs are done! Now all they will go to school for is to play! No more homework!

7 more days!

 

[bethbuchall]

Tammi, yay for SOLs being done!

Laura actually woke up much easier than I imagined, and I got her to school earlier than she has been in a long time.

We were up late last night due to procrastination on our parts and the parts of others. Laura was working on calculations and a Power Point presentation for her AP stats class today. She could have started sooner, but she was also waiting for information/data from her partner who seemed to be dragging her feet on the whole thing.

I was working on a scrapbook for the orchestra teacher from the seniors. The senior concert is tonight. Three weeks ago I asked each of the eight seniors for a photo. I also asked them to write something to the orchestra teacher on a piece of orange card stock and gave each of them two in case of mistakes. I told them to give it to Laura or mail it to my house, and it was all in an envelope that they could use for mailing. I even gave my e-mail address in case they wanted to e-mail me a jpeg, and I would type their note and print it all out for them. I gave them two weeks which would give me one week to put it all together. Laura also reminded everyone a couple of days before the deadline. As of the deadline (last Thursday), I had two (including Laura's). One girl gave hers to Laura on Friday. Everyone else promised that they would have it on Monday. I didn't want to have to get all the scrapbook stuff out for three, put it all away, and then take it all out again, so I didn't work on it this past weekend as I had planned. Monday came, and nothing. Tuesday, three more brought their photos/messages to Laura. Again, she reminded the last two. Yesterday, she brought home a photo from one girl and the message from the other. The one without a message had lost her cards and couldn't think to either e-mail me something to print out or just write it on another piece of paper. The one without a photo didn't have one the right size (I asked for 4x6 or smaller...nothing out of the ordinary). So, even though I was up way too late putting it together, it still isn't completed. We'll see if she gets the missing parts today, and I'll get them in quickly before the concert tonight. Otherwise, they just have blank spaces.
