DDA Chapter 6

[lmartin2711]

Hi, Lynn!

Well, I need to get going. I have a lot I need to accomplish today.

Hi Lindsay.....good to be "talking" on here again.

 

[lmartin2711]

It is so good to have you posting again

How are things in Denver? Did I mention that my brother and his family moved to the Highlands Ranch area? They still love it out there. I will get to see them when we go to Daytona in July. They are flying in and staying the week with us.

Are you a Bronco fan? I'm so excited to get Jason Elam here in Atlanta with the Falcons. I'm hoping he will bring some good vibes our way. His family goes to our church in Snellville, GA. Actually his brother Mark and his wife are in our Sunday School class. We had him as a guest speaker one morning a few weeks ago.

Talk back to you soon.

Lynn

so ends my little posting spree.
Today is SAT test day nationwide so Cassidy doesn't go into class until 11:30, she then gets out at 1:15...the kid has the easiest schedule sometimes. What makes me happy is she is going to get help on flute fingering so that she knows she can play all notes at her section leader tryouts.

Abi is in the 6th grade poetry slam today, she is a brilliant and creative writer. The teacher asked them to "act" out their poem (those who made it into the finals). Abi can write, she can't act!! Plus I think it's awfully silly to act out a poem, espescially a serious one like Abi's. I do like that her teachers are showing lots of documentaries about the earth...last night it hit home that they are definitely showing only one side of the global warming argument. Abi and I are keeping an open conversation about it.

I am glad they are enjoying the state....I love it.

I was so, so mad at the higher ups for letting Elam go . Who the heck let's the highest scorer in Bronco history go to another team. Elam is the kicker all other kickers want to be when they grow up. Sure his leg is getting tired but his tired leg is still better than the majority of kickers out there!! Plus, he is a team leader and a stand up guy off the field...not like the dolts they've kept around paying the big bucks to

Can you tell you touched a button

and actually the girls and I follow baseball more but I do know my way around the Broncos.

There's a castle???

Yep, it's behind the Mickey.

 

[Glynis]

Glynis & Alan I am so happy for you, congratulations!!!! Funny you should say "little peanut", this is what the nurses called Riley when he was born

Thanks, Janet!

The kids were asking what the baby looks like right now, and that's what Alan told them. It looks like a little peanut. Guess that will be the nickname!

Good morning DDA!

Last night I had to make a quick dash into the grocery for some items. On the door was a sign posting available jobs. They have open a cake decorator, which they are willing to train, and a bakery packager which is late at night. I think that the hours would be perfect and I do love to decorate cakes, especially if the mess is not in my house! I am calling today in hopes that I can get an interview. I really think this is the way to go right now. I am dreading spending the summer with the boys and that in and of itself is not a good mindset for anyone. I enjoyed last summer immensely and want that freedom to be able to come and go as we please.

So can I ask for you all to keep your fingers crossed that this is going to be exactly what I need. I'd appreciate it!!

Good luck Robyn. Keep us posted!!

 

[Glynis]

It will all fall into place.
I truly believe you were meant to have another.

Thanks, Heidi! That really means a lot!

 

[Glynis]

Those issues will work themselves out too. Mary will be ready to be the big sister eventually.

I'm sure you're right! She just needs to learn how to deal with it. It will happen!

 

[Tammi67]

Lindsay - Glad you could pop in!

Lindsay - thanks for the info on the DVC renter guy. Bob has his ressie for himself, dd, sister and niece in December. Debbie - it's the same guy you rented from too.

Hi Glynis,

Congrats. Hope the morning sickness stays away. When Guenna was born, she was 6lbs, 1oz so we called her Peanut as well.

Has anyone seen the thread titled Disney character nuggets? If not, do check it out.

Where is it? Do you have a link?

I'm crossing my fingers and toes and anything else for you! This sounds like it would be the perfect job for you!!!

 

[Glynis]

Good Morning DDA,

Glynis - Congratulations! I'll secretly cross my fingers that Jacob gets a little brother, I'm sure he is hoping the same.

Thanks, Debbie! Oh, he is!!!

He actually shared with everyone his decision to come to Atlanta. He was going to retire this year and work more with his mission work in Alaska. He was excited about it until the phone rang one afternoon and it was the Atlanta Falcons. He said he the only thing that could make him continue football was being able to retire in his own hometown. I'm glad he is here!!

Thanks, Terry!

So far, so good! Hopefully the sickness won't get any worse.

Katie was 7 lbs, 14 oz, Jacob was 6 lbs, 10 oz, Leslie was 5 lbs, 2 oz, and Mary was 5 lbs, 5 oz. If the pattern holds true, our little peanut will be very little indeed!!

Things are coming together for this weekend. Soccer practice was canceled last night so I went to the grocery store and took Nicholas to get a hair cut. Today I ran to the party store and got Hannah Montana supplies for Alyssa's party and a few 1st Communion things for Nicholas. The cakes have been ordered and I will pick them both up on Friday. Sshhh...don't tell anyone but Alyssa's cake is going into the freezer until Sunday. Her bday party is at the gymnastics center. The kids will spend an hour doing gymnastics and then an hour for the party. I'm just serving pizza, drinks and cake. Do you think I should have goodie bags? I always hate those things as most of the stuff that is put in them is just junk.

Tonight we have rehearsal for 1st Communion. Nicholas is so excited that he finally gets to find out what communion tastes like!

 

[Glynis]

Well, I better get myself dressed and out the door, or we'll be eating ice cubes for dinner!

I've got to run to the school to request teachers for next year, then to the library to drop off and pick up, then the grocery store. Then, I'm sure, I'll be home for a nap! Seems to be what I'm best at these days. My dad says that's why the young people are supposed to have babies, not old ones like me. Can you tell he's not too happy about this? I think he'll warm up, he just remembers what happened when my mom had my brother at 43 and almost died. Poor guy! Too late to worry now!

Talk to y'all later!

I'm glad he was able to help. Where are you guys staying?

Glad all is coming together! I personally would forego the favors, but I don't know what the protocol is these days.

Did you tell Nicholas it's crackers and grape juice with a kick?

We are staying at OKW, mainly because of the bed configuration. The four of them (Bob, DD, his sister and niece) are sharing one studio, because it's the cheapest way to go. They will be more comfortable in the 2 beds as opposed to a sleeper. If I had my way we would be staying at BWV. I've already had my parents at OKW and would like to show them something different. If they go too, we'll have enough for a GG!

We don't do wine at our church. We were practicing at home the other day using toast! They used crackers Monday night at Religion. I'm so afraid that he will gag on it and spit it out!
