DDA Chapter 27

[PNO4TE]

Good morning.

Debbie - maybe you could make "wedding planner" your second career. I'm sure everything is going to be just beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures!

The kids and I have had such a great weekend. Too bad it has to end tomorrow.

Glad you have had a good weekend. The weather has been perfect!

Glad you have had a good weekend. The weather has been perfect!

That's a huge part of what made it perfect. It wasn't miserable being outside!

Tia it's Disney so Terra will be thrilled no matter where you stay. I'd probably do Pop just to save a few bucks

Debbie I'm sure the wedding will be amazing. Guest will only remember the whole picture so stop stressing over the little things. With all the time, money and energy that you've put into this it just has to be perfect because your daughter surely has seen how much you love her


Tammy, I agree that it was a wonderful weekend that went by way too fast.

We got home from the race at about 9 PM last night. The weather was perfect, almost too perfect as it was super hot. We had fun at all the sponsor booths and games, watched races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My driver won 2 of the 4 races that we watched Chris' driver won one too Nick had a good weekend with Papa, we won a few prizes including 2 $50 gift cards from AAA. Overall a very busy weekend.

Tonight I need to try to get everything washed and put away from this trip so we can pack for next weekend's camping trip. Should be another busy week.

Deb - It sounds like you and your men had a great weekend too!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning. Happy Monday!

Good morning, DDA!

Good morning, DDA! This weekend went by so quickly, and summer is flying by much too fast.

Debbie, the wedding is going to be so wonderful with all the planning and work that you have done. I can't wait to see the pictures!

Deb, it sounds like you had a great weekend!

Elin, I'm glad that you liked Harry Potter. The kids and I have a "date" tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait. The theater/restaurant/bar you went to looked like a lot of fun.

For as quickly as time is moving, I don't feel I have much to report. I am enjoying the summer and having all the kids home.

Good morning, everyone!

Debbie - The wedding is going to be perfect! You've worked so hard, just don't forget to enjoy the day!!

Tia - Sounds like you had fun at Little Mermaid. Alan got to see it a couple of weeks ago, in Southern Utah, and really liked it, too.

Happy Belated Birthdays to Elin and Theresa. I'm so sorry I missed them, but it sounds like (Jim aside) both of you had great days! Debbie too!!! Boy, have I missed a lot! I like the way your kids think, Debbie! You got deservedly spoiled!

Anne Marie - Glad you had a good time in NY! Wish I could get back to visit! Good luck with the HP marathon! We did that last week, and all we did was watch movies, and drink homemade butterbeer. Katie found a recipe online, and the kids liked it. Way too sweet for me!

We saw Harry Potter on Saturday morning, and it was wonderful! We loved it all, even the small changes that were made!

This week will be crazy hectic for me! We are getting ready for 3 days of camping at a local lake next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and then leaving for Disneyland on Friday! I can't believe our trip is finally here!!!

Did I mention that my sister and I tie dyed 14 shirts for all the grandkids??? Well, we didn't have any blue mishaps (Kristine!), but it was a lot of fun!! We did make a mistake on Timothy's shirt, so I have to redo that this week.

We're at ASMovies most of the trip per her original request, but the video had her rethinking. We talked last night and she wants to keep Movies. The AKL is just the first two nights because renting those points from Stefanie's friend wasn't much more than the holiday weekend pricing at a value so I went for the extra bonus surprise.

 

[tmfranlk]

Deb - can't wait to see pictures!! It's going to be great.

Debbie - sounds like a fun weekend. good luck this week.

Glynis - if I miss you, have a great trip!!

Today was a long day, but at least the work portion is in the books. I'm so tired, hopefully I'll catch up on sleep tonight. Right now I need to get some housework done. Full time Mom, Housekeeper and working doesn't seem to balance very well.

 

[tmfranlk]

It doesn't mix well here a lot of the time and I'm at home for work. Can't imagine how some if the rest of you do it somedays.

Tell me about it! That's why the two small people in this house are expected to carry their own weight. They make the mess, they straighten it up. They are old enough that I'm no longer their maid/servant. When I work I average about 5 hours of sleep a night. You just get used to it. My motto is "I don't have time to be tired."

My kids are home this summer so they are responsible for taking care of each other, making their lunches and keeping their rooms clean. They've been helping dry laundry if I get it running in the morning. They also have to mow the lawn. I haven't found time to switch out Hunter or My winter/summer wardrobes yet. That means we have totes in our rooms with our summer stuff which makes things look more messy. We've been gone pretty much every weekend for weeks so nothing extra is getting done. Oh well, I'm going to live life to it's fullest while I can because you never know what the future holds.

Exactly. And you've learned that the hard way!

Good morning, DDA!

 

[mommykds]

Good morning,

We are trying to squeeze all we can out of this summer. Today however is just chilling at home. Seems like this summer has flown by faster than any other.

My kids are pretty good with their chores thankfully because I am lazy. I simply won't do for them what I know they can do for themselves. The only thing I will not allow anyone to do is the laundry, no one touches that but me.

 

[my3princes]

Good morning. It's supposed to be a hot one around here. I'm sure I'll be cold sitting in the air conditioning at work, but that just makes it even hotter when I finally get outside as I pretty much dress for winter for work.

After work I need to run errands. Chris and I have been getting some chores done around the house the last couple of nights and our clothes are packed for this weekend. I'll get food in the camper tonight and we should be good to go. I even got to bed on time last night so getting up wasn't such a battle this morning.

I hope you all have a fabulous day!!!
