Goodnight Elin!

I've got to go to bed too so I can get up early to sew!

I've got to place my www.minimus.biz order tomorrow too. Janet do you need anything?

 

[tinknme]

Let me check! I will PM if I find anything, Thanks

Goodnight Elin!

I've got to go to bed too so I can get up early to sew!

I've got to place my www.minimus.biz order tomorrow too. Janet do you need anything?

 

[Tammi67]

That is just horrible! But you know if this is how she is, Bethany is definetly better off being with her father.

How is she dealing with this?

It's hard to say yet. Her mom just went back to FL today so Bethany hasn't yet gone an extended amt of time without seeing her.

But yes, she will have more structure and stability with Bob, which will be important next year when she starts Kindergarten.

Speaking of kids, have I told you all that his ex has picked up and moved to St. Augustine, FL. She is giving Bob custody of Bethany during the school year, and she wants her for 8 weeks in the summer. Her house here in VA was foreclosed on, so she quit her job and moved to FL with what Bob calls her "flavor of the month". Actually she has been dating this guy since the fall. I just can't believe that a mother would leave her child behind to move with her latest fling. It's pretty much a done deal, they are just working out the formalities of holiday visitations. Good for Bob, but her behavior is very sad, IMO.

How can a mother just up and leave like that I wonder how long it will be before she doesn't want summer visitation? Poor Bethany.



I'm off to bed. Hopefully my arm will feel better in the morning. I've got a case of overuse going on.

 

[Tammi67]

I need to get to bed too. Nicholas has an 8 AM soccer game, then I have to do some shopping. I'd like to get a new dress to wear next weekend for 1st Communion. Plus my mom has asked me to get her a bday present for Alyssa. She wants a Hannah Montana outfit and Mom is afraid to buy it for her without knowing sizes. So I've found some cut HM labeled clothes at Macy's that I'll have to go look at. Then we go to see Hairspray at 2.

Robyn, I assume since I never heard from you that you decided not to go. I'll be thinking of you and Emma!

Have a good night everyone.

 

[ReAnSt]

I would love to go to V&A, especially the chefs table. I love lots of different types of food.

 

[tinknme]

Deb hope your arm is feeling better tomorrow

Tammi sounds like a busy day for you tomorrow, Enjoy Hairspray 2!

Riley has a scrimmage game tomorrow afternoon, but with all this rain it might get canceled.

Night all!

I know that she is probably better off with Bob, but this is going to have a major impact on her. Make sure that he keeps an eye on her and gets her counseling if there is any signs she is stressing over it.

 

[ReAnSt]

Poor Bethany I hope she does not take this too badly. I can see her being OK for a bit and then it sinking in. But I can see the summer week visits causing issues though too. All of you need to keep an eye on her though as she might not be outward in the fact that it is bothering her. to all of you

My, my, my you were all chatty tonight!

Tammi- for Bethany. I am sorry, you assumed right- We will not be there tomorrow, as much as I wished we were.

Becky- to get through this weekend.

Deb- I love the walls!!

Elin- Enjoy your last concert.

and 's to all.


Lucy and I spent the evening at my parents. I helped my mom roll up spinach balls for a wedding reception she is going to tomorrow. I ran to the party store before hand and then we made a dash to BJ's for some things. I think that I am near done with stuff for Molly's party. I did manage to fill the goody bags tonight.

Eric took Emma and Molly to the Baysox game, the farm team of the Orioles. Emma earned a free ticket from school for reading so she just had to go. Molly was free so it only cost us Eric's ticket. They are on there way home now.

Tomorrow Molly has a soccer game and then Emma and Molly are spending the night at Mo's best friend's house. Eric plans to cook our Passover turkey and I need to get Mo's cake baked and into the freezer. I also need to make the matzah ball soup along with a few other things. Emma has a soccer game on Sunday so we need to get all the stuff done tomorrow that we can.

I am off to finish cleaning up so when they get home we can get the girls to bed. Have a great weekend!!!

that is sad but it does sound like Bethany might be in a more stable house now!!

 

[Steffy]

Have a great weekend friends!!

Deb, the walls look wonderful.

Bernadette, the material and outfits are adorable!

Tammi, hugs for Bethany.

Deb, RPDE is right across the street from the Poly, right beside the MK parking lot. My SIL did the rookie experience when we were staying Poly conceirge building. The shuttle picked us up right past the bus stop and whisked us across the street and around the corner. I remember telling the guy we could have walked!!

This weekend is GOTV in Pa. (get out the vote) I'm on vacation Tuesday to work the polls. My DD and I have been busy cleaning the house as we volunteered to host out of town volunteers this weekend. I just delivered 4 cases of water to headquarters. I've got to get to sleep so I can get to headquarters early. I will be working the entire weekend.

Glad no one was hurt during the earthquake. My mind is fried and you all were very chatty. See you soon.

Definitely!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

I didn't sleep well last night. Yesterday my allergies were in full force so I took some medication, which makes me edgy and wired. It's going to be a long day. Maybe I can nap on the way up to DC.

Have a great Saturday!

Some people just don't need kids.
Good thing she has a loving daddy to care for her.

Um, should I actually admit, I've still never looked at our Photopass pictures from December?!!

Kevin said we got some cute shots though.

Amy, you make my picture procrastination look so good!

Hi everyone-
Just coming to post---I got called for an interview today!! its not with the same district, but a good district! i go on the 28th!
and with that..im off to girls night! have a great day, see you tomorrow

Congratulations! I hope lots of exciting options continue to open up for you!

I am off for the night, so a reminder. New Disney show tonight at 9:00 pm EST

Ooh, yay! Last time I waited for Kyle, but he's on call and I'm on house arrest -- I think I'll just have to watch it twice this time!

For those interested, this is the link to the Behr website. It gives detailed instructions on how to do the Bellagio paint technique.

http://www.behr.com/behrx/expert/activity.jsp?aid=651&subnav=interior&leftNav=noSteps

I wouldn't say that it is hard, but it is tedious and time consuming.

I quit at around 6 PM as I just couldn't paint another stroke. I didn't even come close to finishing the hall, but I was so sick of it, I had to quit. Hopefully I'll be able to finish tomorrow.

We ended up installing the trim pieces in the areas that have been painted, took down the painters tape, reinstalled lights and covers etc. The area that is done looks wonderful.

My Mother and I usually have very different ideas about decorating. She likes very plain things, solid paint colors, light colors etc. When she came in today and said she loved it I nearly fell over. I had to reassess whether I really liked it or not

I can imagine most people would be in agreement. It's been a long process, but the outcome is wonderufl!

This is what I did last night:
I also washed and ironed 9 pieces of fabric. I hope to make Emma a Buzz outfit like her Cars outfit tomorrow. It should go quickly as I've made both patterns already. An A-line top with denim shorts with Buzz cuff.
The Nemo outfit will be made from this pattern:

The front of the bodice will be the panel I bought-I'll need to add blue to the sides, the bodice back and ruffled elastic straps will be blue. The skirt of the shirt will be the Nemo fabric and I'll put a blue cuff on it too. I may make some capris too-I'll have a better idea when the top is complete.

You all make me wish I liked sewing enough to even feign interest! The finished product (and the number of options!) is so cute!

Yes, as Disney fanatics now, it is always interesting seeing the "mistakes" that are made in these shows.

Last week, I drove Kyle nuts complaining about all the music. During Soarin', Spectro, etc they had some other fake something or other that was CLEARLY not the right music. I was so annoyed, as that's one of my favorite parts of the entire WDW experience!

We just pulled up some WDW maps and it looks like the speedway is between the TTC and Animal Kingdom. You drive alongside it to get to AK. Maybe the entrance is closer to MK

It is, just outside the entrance. I remember clearly having several different emotions about its location when it was just over the halfway point during the half!

Yep. Didn't even tell Bethany. Bob transferred Bethany back to Mom after his visitation one weekend and she had their house cleaned out and loaded in the truck. Never even told Bethany what was going on. Lately Mom has been back and forth between FL and here, where she stays with her parents, to work out the agreements. But after this weekend I think she will be staying down there.

Oh, how terrible!

How can a mother just up and leave like that I wonder how long it will be before she doesn't want summer visitation? Poor Bethany.



I'm off to bed. Hopefully my arm will feel better in the morning. I've got a case of overuse going on.

I'm surprised you don't have a lot more aches and pains, with all you have been doing. I'm still in shock everytime I read your posts!



My in-laws are coming today, at an undisclosed time, for an undisclosed amount of time.... while Kyle is not here. I appreciate the thought tremendously, but I think they should have waited until I was more stir-crazy, and looking for whatever interaction I can find!

Last night, Kyle's entire Med-Peds class came up for dinner, bearing their favorite childrens books - each with a message in the cover from the giver to the girls. It was the sweetest thing! To make it even cooler, as far as we know (since I guarantee they are too busy to catch up online, since my own husband barely can!), they don't have any idea my obsession with filling the girls' bookcase with wonderful Childrens Lit

I hope you all are doing well! I have to use my hour up for now making sure things are presentable for my "guests" , including baby stuff with names out of sight. What a hassle (which some could say we brought on ourselves)!
