DDA Chapter 5

[PNO4TE]

I was awoken this morning to the sound of "Mommy, I need to go Potty now" And she did. Music to my ears.

Even better!!

Gynis,
The DVD's we sell at TDS are the same as any other place so I think you can return it somewhere else to get the right version you want. I am working today, I'll see what version we have.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[mommykds]

Hi Elin!!!

I should be getting ready but I am here DISing!

 

[mommykds]

Jennifer,
Glad to hear all is going well.

Becky,
Good luck with the assignment.

Oh, and I like your new Siggy picture!

Good morning, I gotta run away in the rain to work for a meeting today.

I need to start eating healthy again. I am up to 185 pounds again, I am still stuck in the same 10 pound bracket since over a year ago. It is so frustrating I get to my lowest weight in years am there for two days, think perhaps I am getting out of the rut and then the third day I am up 4 pounds and then the weigh piled on top. I have been through this cycle many times, I want off the carousel and I want a new one that stays lower on the scale.

I did finish my assignment, thank goodness.

Gotta head down south. I have to leave extra early as 95 is shut down because a vehicle hit a bridge, so I need to make sure that I allow extra time in case traffic is worse the way I normally go.

Marci - Glad you enjoyed Great Wolf!

Lindsay - That was some serious rain, wasn't it?

Anne Marie - Maybe one of these days we'll stay at BC! I sat here last night and tried to work out the dining costs day by day, but I only managed to confuse myself. I do know we saved over $200 by switching. We'll see what happens with AP rates, because we might be able to save even more.

Kristine - I hope Jonathan is feeling better!

Jennifer - Sounds like things are progressing well!

Becky - Yikes! Have they not figured anything out about your neighbor's murder?

Glynis - Do not take your DVD to Target. There was a HUGE thread about their rigid return policies. I love Target, but not if I have a return and no receipt!


I had parent/teacher conferences last night. That went well. Still no resolution on the science papers, but after talking with the teacher I think I can see what happened.

Good Morning DDA!

Oh, and I like your new Siggy picture!

We all kind of thought you would!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Congrats to Molly for using the potty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even better!!

Good Morning DDA!

Robyn, Yay for Molly!

Oh, and I like your new Siggy picture!

Yay for Molly!

She was so excited to see her name and even more excited that you all "knew" she was using the potty!

Oh and Tom, Molly asked me last night at dinner if she could spend the night at "Eanna's" I told her by the time we got there it wouldn't be night time any longer. I knew you'd like the pic!

Marci glad you had a good time this weekend!

Molly for using the potty


I just read about the re-opening of Wolfgang Puck Express at DTD. Did they serve breakfast before? There menu has expanded & looks pretty good. They also have added more indoor seating. I will have to go here again in May or August. If on the DP, it looks like a very good use of a CS credit!

Good morning

Jennifer - YAY! The babies are doing well!

Lindsay - It is great to see you have a little time to post.

Jen - Glad you had a great time in Colorado.

Glynis - good luck with the DVD.

Robyn - YAY! WTG, Molly!

Becky - I hope you got your assignment done.

Deb & Chris - good luck to you in all the work you need to get done!

You beat me to it and better than I could have done this morning I think so.....DITTO!

Good morning, DDA! T minus 11 hours and counting until the arrival of the mob. The list is almost done though. All I really have to do is sweep and mop the kitchen. Mom is going to buy a new mop head this morning, though, so it should be a lot easier! Otherwise, just some grocery shopping and we're good to go. Hopefully that means I can get Terra's dress made today. Oh yeah, we're also going to go feed some chickens. "Kassie" is animal-sitting for friends at church and has to feed the cats and chickens several times this week. Well, she won't get near the chicken coop so it's actually Kristi doing it, which is apparently also quite funny. We're going to take Terra out to help today so that she can see them. The question is just how muddy will she be when we finish. Case in point....

Playing in the rain:

Wipe out #2 of 3:

The result:

In the end, Terra's whole backside and the front from knees down looked just like this. It was quite funny to watch, but she had a good time!

Way to go, Molly!!!!!! Keep it up, kiddo!

Yes, BWI standard view. I requested full balcony, (meaning no ground floor) & Epcot view. Does that sound good?

Sounds good! I hope you guys enjoy the BWI - we liked our time there. It is gorgeous at the holidays!

I hope you can break that barrier soon, Becky.

Good luck with your drive!

I hope everything continues to fall in place, Tia! Lots of for you guys, as it looks like y'all are going to continue to deal with all of the rain we had yesterday and last night. Some parts of our area had over 8 inches! It looks like parts of your area might have more. Hope everyone remains safe and dry!

 

[Tinkaroo]

Well, I am really dragging today, but I need to reach deep and find some motivation. I am just REALLY tired for some reason.

Have good Wednesdays, DDA!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Tia - Mud gives me stress! I do everything in my power to keep
Princess away from mud, water, etc.

Princess is still running a fever, so we are heading to the Dr's office shortly. I don't expect them to be able to do anything, but Momboss wants to have her checked out anyway.

I'm still trying to sort out the DDP. I added up everything paying OOP, then everything using DDP and DDP is $120 HIGHER. I can't understand how that can be right, but I have looked at it multiple times. The tips add $112, so it must be that our OOP cost is almost identical to the cost of the plan. Unless DDP is free it looks like we won't be adding it because it will just make things more complicated without saving us any money! Also, DS won't order from the adult menu at Spoodles so having the plan there is pointless. We'd be better off to let him order from the adult menu at Le Cellier if he wants to and use DDE. That's really the only place where he is likely to order an adult entree.

Becky, You have done so fantastic in your weight loss and you will continue to do so. I think that stress does kinda get in the way. I know that last week a few times a few goodies were in the office that usually are not and I 'helped myself'. But I am back on track now and just put it as a few days I went on 'vacation'.

I agree that we need to find a way to get that carousel worked on to make it more fun to ride!!!!

Just a quick pop in before I head off to bed...

Jennifer- for the babies growing!! Good job, mom!

Janet- So wonderful to hear the great updates on Olivia.

Kristine- Glad to hear Jonathan is feeling up to company!

Lindsay- Good to see you posting! We've missed you around here.

Karen- Those dresses are gorgeous!

Deb- Good luck getting all those tasks accomplished before your trip. If anyone can do it, you can.

We had a busy day. The day was just crazy, it seemed everyone was in a foul mood (with the exception of Lucy, of course) and very little or no naps on top of the bad moods. I had to scramble to get the girls picked up from school, their normal ride home called me about an hour before school saying he wasn't going to be able to pick them up. Thankfully Gail was home and ran up for me. The thought of dragging 5 cranky kids to school was pretty After all the daycare kiddos left we went to dinner with my mom, sister and niece for Molly's school. I then dropped Eric and the girls off so the Easter Bunny could shop. My mom and I hit Target, Toys R Us and Payless. I dropped my mom off and made one last stop to the grocery store before I headed home.


The big news here is that Molly has used the potty all day. I put her on it this morning and this afternoon and evening she told us she had to go and did. She goes very little so it's only been 3 times but she has managed to stay dry all day. I feel like we are finally moving forward. It has been something that is just seemed unreachable.

Have a great night all. Catch in the am!!

Way to go Molly Colby has been dry 3 mornings in a row too. You guys can do this together

Becky have you considered changing your diet plan. Chris and I had wonderful success on Atkins, but after about 4 months we stalled out. We ended up switching to Weight Watcher's and were able to drop more lbs. Weight Watchers also has the Core and Flex plan so you can switch within their plans to avoid stall outs. You can do it, but may need to make some changes to get moving again

Could I please ask for some spare pd to be thrown my way. I am meeting with xh in about half an hour and trying to work something out. It's over something important to me and I'm very nervous about it. TIA.
