Oh no. I always wonder why companies list products for sale that are unavailable. I'm wondering about Colby's bedding as it still hasn't shipped. My house looks like a tornado blew through with all his stuff out of his room. Hopefully it comes soon.

I'm sure it will be fine. Being nervous just means that you care

 

[Glynis]

Good morning, everyone! We had a great trip to my dad's house. I'm a little worried about him, as he mentioned that the night before we got there, he'd been having pressure in his chest. We monitored him while I was down there, and it didn't happen again, but he's got a check up with his doctor this morning, so I'm waiting to see what the doctor says about it.

Anyway, we helped dad "winterize" his house. Alan and Jacob took care of some heavy lifting and outdoor projects, and Katie and I spent the weekend making him some jam and salsa for the winter. It was fun just to spend the time with him.

Yesterday, we went to the county fair with my dad and wandered around. I haven't done that since I moved away from home 20 years ago, so it was fun to see how things have grown! It was a great deal of fun, but I have to admit, it was nice to get home last night, and just flop for a while!

This morning I have a Drama Parent's booster meeting, to find out about things in that venue for the Fall/Winter. Should be interesting!

Happy first day of school to all of you who start today!

 

[PNO4TE]

I am glad you were able to talk to your Dad about his health, Glynis. I am hoping for a good report from the doctor today. I know you are too.

 

[Glynis]

Thanks, Elin. Looks like everything is ok. Nothing wrong with his heart. The doctor told dad not to eat later than 7:30 p.m. He thinks it was heartburn. Nothing like a little panic over nothing, huh? However, I'd rather he reported every ache and pain in his chest and have it be heartburn, rather than not reporting it for fear of looking foolish, and have it be another heart attack!

Thanks Deb! Today went well with our all day meetings...tomorrow..the kids come!

Glad he is okay Glynis!

Elin-how did it go today?

Soooo I am all ready to start my 5th year of teaching Kindergarten..crazy, right? My room is set and everything is ready to go. I know Ill be nervous in the morning but I cannot wait to meet my new kiddos!
And of course, tomorrow is football day Cowboys and Giants are playing and in case you didnt know, i like my football It should also be fun because my best friend and my "school mom" and their husbands are coming over to meet Joe tomorrow. It should be interesting!

This was what I was hoping to read when I got on here tonight for a quick check!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

Bob and I got to have lunch with Kathrin and her guy yesterday!! Chris has a shoot in Richmond this week so Kathrin tagged along. We met about halfway between them and us and had a great time. We had not seen her in a year.

Tomorrow we are going to head down to Richmond for the day since Chris will be done with the shoot by tonight and their flight is not until tomorrow evening. The only thing that would make this a better deal is if Kristin could take a day off and join us.

 

[my3princes]

Elin I'm glad you were able to see her for a little while and get to see her again before she leaves. A year That is such a long time.

 

[MrsHeg]

Glynis - Glad to hear your dad is ok

Elin - Glad you got to see Kathrin, and a year is definitely waay too long

Wound care was today, the wound itself is looking better and has actually gotten a little smaller, unfortunately the surrounding tissue is swollen and red and looks like it's trying to become infected, so it's back to antibiotics. He said I would definitely have to have the skin grafts but we can't do those until all the dead tissue is cleaned from the wound and the surrounding tissue is healed also.

Debbie you just can' catch a break. I truly hope the antibiotics help. It sounds like you still have a lengthy recovery ahead

 

[lovesdumbo]

Debbie-so sorry to hear you're still having problems with your wound. Should your Dr have sent you to wound care earlier?

Deb-loved your photo book! How beautiful! Loved your dress! Congrats on the job. Can't wait to see photos of Colby's room. Can you send me a link to your other snapfish photos? I'll go subscribe to your TR.

Glynis-so sorry to hear about the loss of your BIL. Congrats to Katie! Glad to hear your Dad is OK.

Tia-sounds like a great trip! We had 6 day hoppers and I was hoping to upgrade to 7 days to get a few last hours in the park our last day for Joe, Lizzy and Gene but they wouldn't let me and they didn't like the idea of Emma & I going in on our APs. I didn't know/remember about Build a Bear having special Disney characters. Good thing though because we really don't need any more stuffed animals in this house!!!!!

Tammi-sounds like you had a great week at the beach!

Elin-Happy Bday to your FIL. He and Bob look great! I'm sure you had a great day with Kathrin yesterday! Did your books come in yet?

Jen-Seriously? 5 years? WOW!!! That time flew by!


We got home very late Tuesday....well very early Wednesday morning. We were supposed to land at 11pm Tuesday but then this happened:
http://bostonherald.com/track/celebrity/view/20220906headlinegoes_2

We were not on they flight where the drunk "celebrity" was taken off but that was "our" plane so it was late arriving in LA and when it got to LA one of the flight attendants "got the flu" (I wonder if they weren't upset about the altercation on board) so we had to wait over an hour for a new flight attendant to arrive. We didn't land in Boston until after 2 and not home until nearly 3:30. Kids had already missed the first day of school so we sent them late yesterday to at least touch base with a few teachers.

I'm sure September will be a very fast whirlwind. We've got dr appointments for all 3 kids, Joe has 2 camping trips with scouts and a week at camp with the middle school and I've gearing up for my crazy time at work.

Other than the flight home we had a great trip. We all loved San Diego. We could have used another couple of days there. We did the zoo, the maritime museum, Coronado, Point Loma lighthouse, the kids got there feet in the pacific, Balboa park and a ton of museums there, Torrey Pines (where a snake scurried over Lizzy's feet ), Seaworld (we've never been in FL) and the zoo's safari park where we saw a baby elephant on the day she was born!

We had a great time in Anaheim too but I would have loved a few more week days in the parks. We arrived late Tuesday, were at DCA for opening Wed but had to leave to return the rental car, on Thursday Joe & I did the Through Walt's Eyes tour (LOVED it!) and then Lizzy & I went to the Red Sox game that night, on Friday we went to the park in the AM but then had to go to the Expo for the race, on Sat we were all up early for the 5K then did the Minnie breakfast. I made the difficult decision NOT to do the half on Sunday. By then we had already walked over 85 miles on the trip and between that and more likely the countless hours of standing in lines prior to Sunday my feet were already killing me. I knew I would never be able to keep up the pace. I didn't think it was worth getting up at 4:00 am and loosing a full park day with my family. We did most of what we had hoped to see. Joe would have loved the canoes but it was really too hot for those. Joe had said he wanted to do the Casey Jr train but we didn't get there. We also didn't do Astro Orbitors, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Snow White or the Carousel. We would have loved to have ridden Radiator Springs more than once but it kept breaking down. I would have enjoy riding the Matterhorn and California Screaming again (did both "just" twice).

I have to say I think many of the rides are better at DL. Carsland was awesome! Just like walking down the street in the movie! I would go back someday (especially if I could go during a slow time) but don't feel the need to rush back too soon.

I just uploaded about 3800 photos but have 3 more cameras to go. I'll weed through those and then upload the best to shutterfly. I brought my Nikon and used it everyday in San Diego. It pretty much stayed in the safe in Anaheim-it gets really heavy.

OH...and the kids were SOOOO excited when we did Soarin and saw the hotel we stayed in at San Diego. Now whenever we ride that ride (in FL) we'll be reminded of the great trip we had to California.

I am so sorry to hear this, Debbie. You have had such a rough time of this.

 

[PNO4TE]

Bernadette - Other than your return flight it sounds as if you all had a terrific vacation! I am sorry you weren't able to run, but I think you probably made a wise decision. Welcome home!

Sounds like a wonderfully though busy trip. It is always nice to do things that you've never done and make those new memories with your family

I'll PM you the snapfish info
