Sorry, it's super busy here. I'm working on major projects for the 8th grade dance that's on the 9th, Lacrosse is wrapping up so we've had games the last 2 nights and tonight we rushed from Hunter's game to his last Concert probably ever since he's moving on to High School next year and doesn't have room in his schedule for band. Another couple of weeks and things "should" calm down. Job hunting is a whole adventure in and of itself and trying to get unemployment set up is pretty much hell.

Debbie, you must be getting excited for your trip. We're already excited for ours at the end of the summer, if for no other reason, just to find time to relax :rotfl:
 

Good morning, DDA! Sorry that I haven't had anything to post lately. Things are pretty boring around here at the moment. (And I'm definitely not complaining about that!)

Has anyone gone to Mystic, CT? We're looking for a short, relatively inexpensive trip at the end of the summer. I think I've convinced my husband that we should go to WDW next summer, but only time will tell if circumstances are right for that.
 
Good morning.

School is winding down here..final tests & hectic schedules for the 3 kids.
Looking forward to Disney this summer as it may be the last big trip there for awhile. Next year 2 of my kids may go away with their classes & there won't be a Disney family trip due to schedule & $$$. So I plan t eat all the Dole Whips I can & ride Pirates over & over again!!! LOL!

Have a great day!
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

Thanks for worrying about all of us, Debbie. :goodvibes I hope you are doing OK and getting excited about your trip.

It is recital season here. 'Nuff said...

The " 'Nuff said" here...day camp starts tomorrow. :scared1::eek:

See you all in a week! :thumbsup2
 
Good Morning,

Inventory tomorrow, we could use soome pixie dust, the thieves have been very busy this year.
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

Just checking in. Hope camp and inventory are both going well!
 
Hey, everyone! Sorry I haven't checked in more this summer. So far, things have been crazy! Alan took this week off, so we've been working on projects around the house in the morning, and then doing fun activities with the kids in the afternoon/evening. It sure cuts in to my computer time! I'll be back more regularly next week, when he's back on his work schedule!

All is well here. We have our typical summer colds, and Timmy had a bout with food poisoning that was really yucky, but other than that, we are well! Katie and Jacob both got new bikes this summer, so I haven't seen too much of them when we aren't working as a family! They are sure enjoying that freedom! They like to gather their friends and bike to the local candy store for a treat of candy sticks and gelato. Very fun!

I'll check in more starting next week! Hoping you all are well!
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

Trying to make this a daily check-in! :goodvibes
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

I am meeting myself today!
 
Morning, everyone. I just got Katie off to her first church camp of the summer. I'm looking forward to a peaceful couple of days. No teenage drama! We've had one meltdown after another over here the last few days!

I think I'm going to take the kids to see "Mirror, Mirror" today. It's playing in our local dollar theater. That ought to be fun!

Other than that, laundry is what's up for me!
 
Good morning, DDA!!

Glynis - Good to see you! Enjoy the movie and I hope Katie has a good time at camp.

Debbie - Hope inventory went well.

Elin - Hello recital-lady. Hope it's going well.

Camp is over and was wonderful!!! Mon was about 87 and Fri prob that, but even then there was a breeze. The rest of the week was 81 and gorgeous! (Much better than last year's 98s.) The girls all had a great time and even Terra survived the whole week with only one meltdown. Two short breaks at HQ over the week and she was good to go - a definite improvement over just a month or so ago. (Did I tell you we changed her to milk with no Vitamin D and that seems to be helping the anxiety and obsessiveness a lot? So glad we gave it a try. She's much happier too.)

This week holds nothing except some decompressing and then the day camp overnight on this coming Fri-Sat. Today Terra has planned a whole day for me apparently "as a thank you because you worked so hard for camp, mom." Just that sentence alone was thanks enough for me! She made me breakfast this morning and then took me on a magic carpet ride around the world in route to WDW. Now apparently we're waiting to board Magical Express. :thumbsup2 Such a sweetheart!

The only downside is that I woke up yesterday with incredible pain in my lower jar and up into my ear. I'm on antibiotics for what we think is a tooth infection (since now it's swelled under my jaw to make me look like I have mumps). I'll see the dentist this week or next. Ah well, if the pain will go away I'll be a lot happier even if it does mean the dentist.

Have a great Saturday everyone!
 
Afternoon, everyone!

Tia - I'm so sorry about the tooth pain! There's almost nothing worse. Sounds like you had a great camp!

We ended up not seeing the movie, but going out for ice cream instead.

Today, we're finishing up the garage. Icky job, but it has to be done. I'm also making some treats for a family get together tomorrow. My house smells like key lime! Yummo!!!
 
Tia, tooth pain is about the worst kind of pain there is. I hope that you feel better!

Not much is happening around here. Miles has 7 school days before he is done, and he'll have finals at the end of this coming week.

I have been very lazy and need to start setting some goals for myself so that I don't completely waste the summer. Laura seems to be in the same boat as I am.

I haven't really heard from Matthew, but I assume his internship is going well.

We had my parents' dog for the last few weeks while they went on an Alaska trip, but my dad picked her up yesterday.
