DDA Chapter 6

[tmfranlk]

I hated it with Katie. It was this nasty lemon-lime flavor and I really had to work to gag it down. I was teaching at the time, and had to drink it before leaving the school, and then drive right to the doctor. I honestly thought I'd have to pull over and toss my cookies, but somehow I made it.

When I was pregnant with Jacob, my doctor told me they were participating in a study, and asked me if I would rather drink the Glucola or eat a King Size Snicker's bar. Hmmmm, tough question, right???

By the time the twins came around, I guess the study had not been successful because I had to drink the nasty stuff. It was orange that time around, and it was horrible!!!

Well, it looks from the ticker that I missed something big! Are congrats in order, Glynis?!?!?!

Could I ask for some pixie dust for Saturday please? I am having 20+ people over for that cookout and the weather forecast is rather bleak.....thunderstorms. I don't mind cooking in the rain, but I don't know where I'll put all these people if they can't be outside on the deck!

You've got it from me as long as it stays away from here as well! Mo's party is outside at our park. There is a pavillion but I'd rather not deal with rain at all.

Thank you all for the prayers for Mary & her family. This is just so heartbreaking. I keep thinking of his little boy that will never really know his dad. I keep seeing them at work yesterday playing hide & seek & hearing Tyler's(he just turned 2, I posted the wrong age earlier) little squeals of delight when he would see Matt. They had a beautiful last day together & that I guess we can be thankful for.

& to all I have missed.

Oh Janet, that story brought tears to my eyes. for Matt's family. 's

I drank the orange while I was pregnant with Alyssa and Matty, and this time tried the lemon-lime. I must be a weirdo (that's rhetorical people! ), because I didn't think it was half-bad.

Sending you a ton of Glynis.

Beth, woo hoo for booking a trip!!!

Jen, a hockey player?!!

Elizabeth, hang in there.

Janet, what a terrible tragedy. I'm so sorry for all affected.

Tammi, doing the anti-rain dance for you!

Denise, I know I missed you, but have a MAGICAL trip!

A big to everyone.

It was a crazy day (Open Gym, Alyssa's school field trip, etc.), so I'm running on fumes. I'm enjoying reading all the "how DH and I met" stories. I'm not feeling very coherent, so I'll save our story for another day (or maybe Kevin will tell it when he gets home from Republican Club. ).

Take care everyone,
Amy

P.S. Obviously Kevin played with our signature today.

I'm dittoing your wonderful post Amy! Thanks

Thanks Tia for the codes!!

You're welcome! I would have emailed them to you, but I miswrote them for myself the last time I took a code with me so I thought that would be easier.

You have all the PD you need, but don't worry... you have plenty of room for people to mill around!

Crap! I forgot to watch! Well, 15 minutes left.

We were out buying a laptop.

Well now you can watch Grey's from your new laptop! Congrats!

I saw your note about the Tut tickets. Please let me know when you are buying them. Airfare right now is around $500-$600 for both of us, which is too high. I am hoping more in the $300-$400 range. The dates we are looking at coming are Oct 16-19th.

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in with a quick hi. I'm way behind because it has been a crazy week! Plus, Terra and I are going camping with Rachel's Girl Scout troop this weekend so I'll be gone a few more days.

Phil stayed in major abdonimal pain off and on through Monday. He saw the dr Mon afternoon and he suspected gall stones. Scheduled an ultrasound for Tues morn and send home with a script for some meds. Well, those meds didn't do jack and we ended up at the ER at midnight Mon night. Got home at 5am with a script for Prilosec in case its an ulcer and for vicodin. Ultrasound Tues morning showed no stones so we're leaning toward the ulcer dx. The meds seem to be helping some, but he's still pretty queasy and often feels weak. Hopefully the GI dr will call back tomorrow to make the appt.

Otherwise, I've spent the week trying to catch up on all of the sleep lost sitting with him through the weekend pain and then at the ER.

I hope all is well. Seeings as how I'm God knows how far behind, I may just jump in here. Please let me know if I missed anything big! I hope that everyone is doing well. and all around.

Here's some for Phil, I hope they can get to the bottom of his pain.

I'm going to beg some spare pixie dust if you've got it. I was told by my doctor that I'm not producing enough progesterone, so they've put me on a pill for that. I have to go to the doctor for an ultrasound tomorrow afternoon to make sure that all is well. Please send me good thoughts for a safe baby, and an ultrasound that shows that all is going well!

Thanks!

Hehe, awesome.

It was fun! She wasn't allowed to speak until all the guests had lit a candle and told why she was important to them or how she had impacted their lives. It started out funny, but really got touching.

Emma, Lucy and I hit the craft store earlier this evening and since there is a Marshall's right next door we stopped in. I found only 2 Baggallini's, both of them were the Only Bagg, in pink and blue. Surprisingly Emma picked pink even though blue is her favorite color. But I may have to go back and get the blue one. It's perfect as a diaper bag. Lots and lots of room!

 

[Glynis]

Well, it looks from the ticker that I missed something big! Are congrats in order, Glynis?!?!?!

Yes, thanks! We're keeping our fingers crossed, thinking blue, and having major "sticky baby" thoughts. Don't want another miscarriage!

 

[Glynis]

Sorry to poop out, but I'm really tired. Guess I'll head to bed now!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

I really need to stop procrastinating and start assembling King Kandy's castle and Grandma Nutt's house before I head off to bed. I don't have a lot left to do before Saturday but it feels like a lot. Thankfully the little stuff is done. Tomorrow I just have to decorate the cake and then get the food items prepared.

Emma is spending the night at her girlfriend's house tomorrow night and I am hoping that I can get Mo over to my in-law's for the night. It would be so much easier with her trying to help

I will chat with you all tomorrow. Good night!

No, we left the laptop at the store to be "optimized". We also don't have a wireless router, so it won't be much use at home until we get one! The Uncles had 2 they weren't using so I am hoping the offer for us to have one still stands!
Eek! That is high! I didn't even talk with DH any more about buying a membership yet, but I'll keep you in the loop! DS *might* have Oct. 17 off depending on when they have Fair Day. Elementary is one week, and middle & high school is the week after.

Tia - I hope Phil is feeling better soon and that the Dr.s can figure out what is wrong!

 

[tmfranlk]

Yes, thanks! We're keeping our fingers crossed, thinking blue, and having major "sticky baby" thoughts. Don't want another miscarriage!

You've got all that and more from me! Many prayers and best wishes.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Good night, Glynis!
Brother recited a list of sticky things for me one day. Band Aids are sticky, stickers are sticky, sticky tape is sticky. Let's add your peanut and agree that s/he is also VERY sticky!

Robyn, good luck finishing the party prep!

One last thing before I go...

Eric and I met when he started working at the same store, CompUSA, as I did in the late summer early fall of '94. There were a bunch of kids our age that all hung out together after work and on the weekends. We didn't start dating until near the end of January 95. Our first date was to The Lion King, it was playing at the dollar theater. Both of us really wanted to see it and hadn't yet so it was perfect. We ended the night at Taco Bell, very romantic-huh, (it was right next door to the theather, and talked for a few hours. I can remember that one of our co-workers, Dora, was so excited that Eric and I hooked up. She had been pushing for it for a long time, but both of us sort of danced around it for a while. Sadly, the week after our first date Dora was murdered. It was horrific, we were all just barely 20. She met a guy a few weeks earlier and he killed her for drug money the night of the Superbowl. She was actually missing for about a week or so before she was found. I think we sort of just stuck together after that.

But by May, Eric and I went our separate ways. I had found a new job and our schedules weren't working out so well and he wanted to spend every last second of time that we could together. I felt smothered and wanted some "me" time too. We both still lived at home and it was just too much.

We than ran into each other again at the bowling alley in January of '97. It took about a week or two after that before we had another "first" date. My girlfriend called him and had him call me, she and I thought something was still there a year and a half later and we were both single.

This time it worked, We were engaged that May, at the wishing well at Cinderella's Castle. And it will be 10 years this October that we got married.

Man, you guys were chatty this evening.

So sad.

My appointment is at 1:30 MST.

Will be thinking of you.

P.S. Obviously Kevin played with our signature today.

LOVE it!!!!

I'd be annoyed!!

Thanks! He told me he got there around noon.

We were out buying a laptop.

Did you see the Disney laptop sleeves at Marshalls? They had Bambi and Mickey.

Poor Phil. Hope they can figure out what's going on and fix it!

Hope the rain stays away from you too!!!

Keep us posted.

 

[Tammi67]

Oh, yeah...and I need a few opinions if anyone has them. I did something extremely impulsive last night (well, impulsive for me, I've actually been thinking about it for several weeks). I still can't believe that dh ok'd it.

Anyway, I'm taking my younger two to WDW in August! I have non-refundable airfare booked. This has to be a budget trip, and I have never stayed at any of the Value resorts (family of 5 and all). Pop or All-Stars?

Thanks!

I vote for Pop, although I've never stayed at any of the All Stars.
