DDA Chapter 6

[my3princes]

Sounds like a good, relaxing weekend so far, Deb. Just what the doctor ordered!
How close do you all live to Manchester? That is not so far away from where we will be this summer!

We are about 1 1/2 hours from Manchester and 3 hours from Boston.

We had a nice weekend and the boys bowled really well. I'm not sure that they bowled well enough for trophies, but we are very proud of them.

When we got home we realized that we had a problem. It seems that Chris had put Hunter's DS game case in Nick's bowling bag and at some point while we were at the bowling alley, Colby took the case out and set it somewhere. I called the bowling alley and they did find it so now we need to pick it up or have someone pick it up for us. I also bought a pair of Columbia shorts for myself (which I did not try on) and they are HUGE. They would fall right off if I tried to walk in them. So either I need to head back to Manchester myself or I need to find someone going soon. I know some kids bowl there next weekend so maybe I can get the case picked up and I have 90 days to return the shorts

For you DVC members, have you received your 2008 planner yet? I haven't so I'm calling to request one.

I don't remember if we got one or not What did it look like?

I can't remember if I posted or not, but Nick got straight A's for the 3rd consecutive marking period I'm not sure where all his motivation came from this year, but I hope that he doesn't lose it. I'll pick up Hunter's report card tomorrow as it didn't come home on Friday

that the game is rained out! Hope you start feeling better soon Anne Marie

Could you all pray for rain before 4pm for me? Lots O rain please????

Dana has a business dinner in the city & I have to take Daniel to his baseball game. I have become very close friends with the potty this week & it's 40 degrees...I don't wanna go!!!!!!!

Glad you are home safely Elizabeth!

Hello, All!

We're home! I'm tired and I have a ton of stuff to catch up on before tomorrow morning.

and to all!

There seems to be a tummy bug working it's way through our house this afternoon. We are all becoming close friends with the potty. My mother started with it during the night last night and Hunter may have had a touch of it yesterday. Hopefully it moves quickly as I have way to much to do. I need to get a coat of paint on Nick's walls tonight...very soon tonight.

Congratulation to Nick, that is awesome!

Not too much to report, really. Mom started taking her Arimidex on Thursday and so far she hasn't has any side effects. She did seem tired on Friday. She said she ddin't want to go to dinner, but she finally agreed to come along. She had to wait for my sister to finish at a debate competition that night so she could pick her up, so it was midnight before anybody got to bed. Then we were all up at 5:30 AM so she could go back for another competition. Of course my mom has to haul her back and forth, and they got a variance so she attends a school farther away because it is "better". She (my sister) still acts like everything is entirely about HER, which infuriates me. But I didn't have time to talk to her AT ALL.

Yesterday Mom took us around town - she drove by the house where she grew up, the house where we lived when I was a baby, we went to the cemetary where my grandparents are buried. We had a key made so I have my own key to her apartment.

She has 4 years of tax returns to file, and now she will have to file all of the claims for her cancer insurance. So far I don't think she has any bills that can be claimed, but I imagine those will stack up by the time I go back. I think I can do the medical claims but she has to do her own taxes.

Mom is supposed to call the hospital social worker tomorrow. She has her CT and bone scan Tuesday, then she sees the onoclogist again in 5 weeks.

My aunt drove us back to Kansas City last night and we went to see "Nim's Island". She was telling me we should all be really positive and make sure my mom doesn't feel depressed. Well, I don't want to pretend that she has nothing to worry about. I can handle "cautiously optimistic", but if the cancer shows up other places OR if she has positive lymph nodes then her treatment is not going to be a walk in the park!

DS has a nervous habit of licking his top lip and now it is completely raw. He licked it all weekend. If the scheduling wasn't so difficult I would leave him home next time.

Congrats Nick! That is excellent!

Elizabeth - your mom should be proud of you for the 'take charge' attitude that you have. I know you will see to it that she is well taken care of and that everything is in order.

Alyssa licks her lips like that too, except hers are both upper and lower. If we don't keep applying chapstick she looks like a clown, with big red lips!

I think she feels like I railroad her. But if she is left to her own devices she just ignores everything.

I kept chasing after DS with the lip balm all weekend. We just get it healed and then it seems like it gets bad again.

Elizabeth even f your mother does not show it, I know she appreciates you being there for her

Sounds like you really need to have a talk with your sister!

Riley gets the red chapping around his mouth too

This princess cakes are amazing

Well we were not spared the baseball game! Its was a freezing 39 degrees & the wind was whipping around so hard it hurt our faces. I had blankets around the girls & we all had on coats, scarves & hats but we were all still cold.

They went into extra innings...Daniel drove home the winning run. I was happy that they won but even happier to go home.

 

[mommykds]

Elizabeth,
I am glad you got to spend time with your mom.

Deb,
Congrats to Nick. Hope you all feel better soon.

 

[tinknme]

I hate going to games like that! I always feel bad for the kids on the field though. I know last year we had a few rainy, cold ones.

Congratulations to Daniel!

Are you feeling any better?

My sister will ignore me, because she knows my mother will continue to allow her to behave like a selfish diva.

That sounds like a very unpleasant experience! But yay for Daniel!!
I hope you are feeling better!
