Hi everyone! I have to apologize for not being a good friend, lately! I've been reading, but not posting. However, you have all been in my thoughts and prayers. Especially those affected by the hurricane and now the heavy rains!
Elin - I'm so thrilled with Bob's burping!!! Here's hoping it's a sign of good things to come!
Vicki - The site for the wedding looks beautiful! I'm praying for good weather for the big day!
Becky - Your pictures from
Disneyland look awesome! Makes me want to go back right now. Hard to believe that just a month ago, we were there!
Tammi - Loving your TR!!! You and the kids look so happy! Good luck to Nick on his first day of Middle School! Can't wait to hear how it goes for him.
Beth - Sorry about the bus worries! Also the locker stuff! Does your school allow the lowest grade a day in the school alone? Ours is a 7-9th grade middle school, and the 7th graders have a day of school all to themselves, the next day, they stay home and the 8th and 9th graders go to school. The day after that, everyone is in session. This way, the 7th graders can learn their way around the school, work out locker problems, etc. It's been great here, as it cuts down on the stress levels for the 7th graders!
Bernadette - I hope all is ok with your work. I hate that kind of stress!
Anne Marie - I love reading your dining report on the restaurant board! If we ever get to WDW as a family, we'd do the QSDP, as well, so it's nice to see what a "normal" family eats! Good choices!!!
Things are going along well, here. Alan has started school, and it's kind of hard adjusting to his new schedule. He's enjoying it, but is finding it tough to "keep up" with the younger students. He's been out of school for almost 20 years, so things have changed a lot! The kids and I are really having to pick up the slack around the house. Alan did tell me, the other day, that he's going to owe me big time at the end of each school year. I told him that what I want, more than anything, is a solo Mother's Day trip to DL each year. Just some downtime for me, without any kids around. He's thinking seriously about it. Cross your fingers for me, ok?
for good weather! I can't wait to see the pictures.But I did find out after the bus was 15 minutes late another mom drove over and all the kids piled in her van to stay dry. Nicholas is gone before Alyssa even gets up, so they won't see each other until after school. I can't wait to hear how the first day went!
Needed to get prescriptions filled too. Walmart had only one style of 3 ring binder left and didn't have all the prescriptions that I needed. the CVS "secure" trailer can't do narcotics so stop number 3 was Walgreens. 1 1/2 hours later I had the prescriptions in hand. Many people waiting for theirs were not so lucky. We are now starting to see the trickle effect from the storm. We certainly need to plan ahead as things are not as easy to come by.
We are now booked at Saratoga Springs - a 1-bedroom for the first 4 nights and a studio for the last 6. I will keep calling to see if I can get a studio anywhere else. I'll start calling daily. We got lots of points back and I can bank them all if we want. So many decisions.
I know we probably can't do them all but it is nice Disney dreamin'.
(the sun is a wish my heart makes...)
