Good Morning,
Inventory didn't go well, it was expected but it still sucks.
Tia, hope your tooth is feeling better, I am the world's biggest checken when it comes to going to the dentist, I'm so bad I have to get the gas.
Our trip is fast approaching, so what seemed like plenty of time to get things together now doesn't seem like enough time. I think I have all my "projects" completed.

I am sorry that inventory "lived up" to your expectations, Debbie. Our economy hits us all, doesn't it?
But in less than two weeks you will be off to the World!

Good morning, everyone!
Yay for those finishing up school this week and next!! It's a bit crazy I'm sure.
Elin - Woohoo for a couple weeks off!
Debbie - Sorry that inventory was so bad. Mom said the high-theft items around here are crazy. One of the biggest right now is the giant Tides. They're then bottling them into smaller ones and selling at flea markets.
Today we've got the sad task of putting Terra's hamster to sleep. He's gotten really bad off in the last day or so. Terra's doing okay, just very sad.
My tooth is better. The antibiotics are helping and the pain is mostly gone. I can even eat on that side now. I've got an appt for next week so hopefully it holds out.
Tonight we're going to the Cardinals game with some of Terra's softball team. Even better, Phil stepped out and asked if it would be better for us if he kept Deva at home. That was a nice surprise and will definitely make for a calmer trip to the ballgame.
Have a great day everyone!

Debbie, happy trip prep day! I hope that things slow down a little so that you can enjoy getting ready.
Elin,
!
Miles is almost done with school. He is taking his last two final exams today, but they still have school Monday and Tuesday. I am so glad that it's almost done. It has been a crazy week. Monday a parent came into the school and punched a female teacher in the mouth for telling a child that he would end up doing nothing more than working at McDonald's making minimum wage. Yesterday, there was an investigation into a group of boys making claims on Facebook that they were bringing firearms to school. I'm not sure what this area is coming to!
I finally heard from Matthew, and his internship is going well.
Laura and I have been lazy and worthless, but we need to get some motivation and step it up around here.
I think that's all that has been happening in my little corner of the world.
Have a great day, DDA!

Debbie - Good luck getting everything ready for your trip! Our news stations have been doing live feeds from Disneyland as Carsland opens today! How I wish I was there! The crowds look hideous, but it would still be exciting to be there!
Beth - Wow! Sounds like things are really crazy there! What are some people thinking? Glad Matthew's internship is working out. That's got to be a relief!
Nothing much going on here. My friend/neighbor's son got married this morning, and I get to help prepare and serve the wedding luncheon in a couple of hours! This is a really special family, so I'm really happy to be able to help. After that, I'll come home and get the family ready to go back to the reception. That's about all we've got planned today. I was really hoping for a nap, but I don't think that will happen. Alan snored all night last night, so I ended up on the couch, and there's never a good night's sleep when that happens!

we are in the middle of painting all the rooms in the house and getting new flooring. The house is almost 13 yrs old the carpet is filthy. So no big trip this year for us.
So I am going to plan a big trip for my 40th birthday in 2 yrs
I had to get glasses in may and I take Olivia on the 20th for an eye exam and she will probably need glasses as well. She has also been having Headaches more often so I am hoping the glasses will help.
Olivia has started needing to wear a bra and informed me she has hair in new places. Where did my baby girl go. Can't believe she will be 9 in July.
Virginia is being as mischievous as ever, cutting dolls hairs and marking on the carpet with markers and the walls with pens and crayons, aka reason to paint.
Julia and Sabrina are growing, climbing on things like the kitchen table, now have almost all their teeth the last 4 besides their 2 yr molars are coming in all at once. Saying new words every day

It's good to see everyone posting. I think we've survived all of our end of year activities. Lacrosse is finished other than a bit of housekeeping, the kids have finished school for the year, Hunter's grad dance and 8th grade graduation are finished and we had his grad party. Whew. Hunter received 8 awards at graduation making him one of the top 3 award winners. He was very happy. And to think that less than 3 years ago we were wondering if he'd survive. Praise the lord. Colby made honor roll and so far it looks like Nick did well, still waiting on 2 final grades. My house is really clean since we readied ourselves for Hunter's party yesterday. This week I need to get the camper cleaned and ready for camping. I also need to defrost and clean our fridge. No headway on the job front, but I'm actively looking. Hopefully unemployment will come through soon, what a slow process.
We are pretty well set on the planning for the Hawaii/Disneyland trip though I've had to deal with a few flight changes. I think we've managed to book all the tours that we want to do in Hawaii and we're planning on taking Disneyland at a slow pace. We've got 5 days and we're staying at the Grand Californian with no rental car. Should be a nice way to wrap up a busy trip.

Jennifer, we repainted and had new carpet put in the living room and dining room a couple of years ago and re-did the bathrooms last year. It is so nice to have that done, but I wish I had money for that and Disney World. This year it looks like our money is going to repair our front steps, walk, and retaining wall. It is a necessity, since our retaining wall collapsed this spring. Good luck getting your house the way you want it!
Deb, congratulations to all of your boys! I'm glad that things are slowing down a bit for you. The trip sounds fantastic, and I can't wait to read all about it.
Miles has his last two days of school this week! Then it will finally feel like summer.
Laura is going to be taking my car up to Syracuse for a few days at the end of the week, so I guess that will be incentive to do things around the house. Who am I kidding? I'm very good at finding other things to occupy my time even if I can't leave the house.
She and a few of the girls that she is going to be living with in the Fall are meeting at the house that they are renting. The lease started June 1st, but paying twelve months rent is still cheaper than 9 months in the dorms.

Good morning everyone.
Debbie - Your trip is fast approaching. I hope it is Magical.
:
Elin - How does Bob like being "back to work"?
Beth - Good luck with the motivation. If you figure out how to get some, let me know.
Jennifer - fresh paint makes a house feel new again. I had my entire first floor repainted a few months ago, different color and all. I got a new entertainment center, and am awaiting my new couch and loveseat. Then I need to make new window treatments and get new wall decorations.
Deb - Hawaii is coming up fast. I'm hoping to do Aulani and/or DL in the next year or so.
Life here is switching gears. Soccer and school are over, but summer dance classes for Alyssa will continue. She auditioned for her studio's competion teams and got selected for 3 of them, 2 of which she will join....tap and jazz. She passed on lyrical, just because there is no way to fit 3 competion teams plus her 5 regular dance classes into our schedule. She will be the youngest member on the teams, by about 2 years. They compete in the spring from DC to Richmond, plus attend workshops and conventions.
Nicholas has been enjoying boy scouts and is working on some merit badges. He goes away next month for his first week-long summer camp. He really is growing up and maturing. He shaved his mustache fuzz off yesterday for the first time!! It was giving him a complex, so better to let him do it and feel comfortable than to keep telling him he's too young. He also finished up his first year of middle school on the A/B honor roll. His language arts B+ that he couldn't seem to overcome held him up from the all As. I'm very pleased with his transition. I hope it continues.
We are leaving on Wednesday for a quick trip to NY (thanks, Anne Marie, for all of your insight!). We are taking the train (and thanks, Elin, for the lift!) from right here in Fburg to Penn Station, and staying in Midtown for 3 nights. I plan to hit all the sights, see Newsies on Broadway, and take the Radio City Music Hall tour. There is no way we are going to have enough time do everything I have planned. The past few days have been spent on the Ellis Island website trying to find my 4 great-grandparents' info, as I want to look them up there when we go. So far I've tracked down 2! It's hard, because translation and record keeping were poor back then, and with ethic names, the spellings often changed.
Other than that, that about sums up what's been going on here. Still plugging away at work. I'll have my hard 25 years in March so I'll be meeting with the retirement people in September or so and start to figure out what I'm going to do.

It's a quiet, peaceful morning here in Utah! Well, for a few more minutes, anyway. I'm letting the kids sleep in a bit this morning. We were up late with Father's Day last night.
Today's plans include: getting Jacob to band camp, fighting with his counselor at the Middle School to get his schedule straightened out, a little bit of grocery shopping, and finally a picnic in the park with my sister and her kids. We'll let them play on the splash pad, and end with snow cones!
Deb - Sounds like things are going well for the boys! Good luck on the job front!
Jennifer - Good luck with all the house projects. We are working on several of those, ourselves!
Beth - I can't believe Miles still has school! Seems like he should have been done quite a while ago!
Tammi - I think Nicholas did really well with that transition! That's a tough one, so yay for him!!! Dance sounds fun, but exhausting! Good luck with all of that! Have fun in New York! I can't wait to hear all about the trip.
Did I mention that I get to go to London in August? I'll be there from the 5th through the 16th. Alan is going for the whole Olympic thing, and I'll be joining him for the last week. The kids are staying home, so this will be a true vacation for me! I'm so excited! However, I need some advice. I need some good shoes for this trip. I'll be doing a lot of walking. Since you all do WDW with all the walking that entails, I am looking for something that will be comfortable, supportive, and cute, all at the same time. Does such a thing exist?
