DDA Chapter 6

[UP Disney]

Well, we spent 3 hours at Shopko. When we were finishing up, my mom arrived in town and met us there. Between the 4 of us (Becky, Mom, Chuck & I) we spent $910. Mind you, Becky gets a 15% discount on all clothes and 10% on everything else but electronics. She saved us $144 from that. We bought a quilt for our bed, sheets for our bed and sheets for Becky's bed. The rest was clothes and shoes for all of us. Chuck got 2 pair of zip-off leg pants, 2 pair of shorts, lots of button-up shirts, 8 nice t-shirts, underwear, socks, and some airwalks. Becky got several pairs of shorts, underwear, quite a few shirts, a dress, robe, and good tennis shoes. I got several more casual shirts which was the only thing I was lacking, underwear and a pair of roll-up leg pants. Mom got a spring jacket, pajamas, 6 or 7 shirts, and some underwear. I can't believe we spent what we did but with Becky's discount we paid 55-65% off the regular price of all summer clothes.

More prayers & needed for my family. Remember the cousin I said had cancer. Well, we got more details. She had a biopsy and we are waiting to here if it is cancer. My uncle got the message garbled. So prayers & that it is NOT cancer.

However, the reason for more prayers & is said Uncle from above is having some serious health issues and is currently in intensive care. So prayers & that they find out what is causing his problems.

Sending prayers! I hope they get good news and that they figure out what is wrong with your Uncle. Glad you're home safe.

Janet --congrats on new furniture!

Deb -- you've done an amazing job with the rooms.

Elin -- sounds like the perfect evening!

Happy Birthday Molly!



We hope you had a wonderful birthday party!

Happy Birthday Mo!

Incredible!

We've had lots of sun but windy and coolish at times. Three soccer games prevented me from meeting Elizabeth and Lindsay for lunch. But, the boys won all of their games. We went to the school auction last night. Emmitt Smith and his wife were the honorary co-chairs. Since their kids do go to school I assumed they would show up, but was amazed that they showed up and were still there when we left. They are very gracious.

Jake woke us up at 3:30 telling us he had just thrown up. He did make it to the bathroom thankfully. We put him in our bed and I went to try to sleep on the couch. He did get sick again around daybreak, but hasn't since then. His tummy really bothered him this morning, so I spent time holding his hand, laying beside him in bed and when he wanted to lay down on the floor by the heater/bathroom, putting washcloths on his head and drying his tears. He was so upset that he would miss the kite flying event this afternoon, and is scared he'll miss school and mess up his perfect attendance. He's feeling much better after taking a couple of long naps, so I think he'll go to school tomorrow.

Andrew had another soccer game today (they lost 4-3) and now is at baseball practice.

I hate to say it, but I'm really sick of The Disney Channel. I've OD'd on it today.

I'll come back and catch up during Desperate Housewifes, I hope.

The kitchen is loaded!!! The cabinets are done. All of the cabients are organized, clean, with every piece that was placed inside washed.

I still have to put the hardware back on a couple of cabinets and the drawers, but I have to go to the grocery store. I also cleaned out the refridgerator, had to clean the gaskets and the grill underneath. I pulled out the drawer under the stove and cleaned that. There is not a surface in my kitchen that still has construction dust except the broom closet. I'll get that next week. I'm bushed. My hands are like prunes.

But now, finally, after almost 3 years of living here, my cabinets are brighter and I really like my kitchen. It was the room we knew we had to redo from the begining, but other things kept coming up and it was pushed to the back burner. (very punny )

But anyway, it is done!!!!!!! and I did two loads of

YAY!!!

We saw this a couple of weeks ago. I also felt it was kind of misleading. I thought I mentioned it when it was on. However, I don't know that much about the pricing of the packages really.

Well, Disney's big marketing ploy is that a family of four can do a week for $1600. It is 6 nights at a Value resort during value season with base park passes. We always laugh about that because it doesn't include any food! (Or airfare, or souvenirs, or tips, or any of the other quadrillion nickel & dime things that inflate the cost of a trip.) This was kind of showing what you can really do for $1600, it just didn't show it very well.

Happy Birthday, Molly!

Stephanie - Yay for getting the cabinets done!!

Marci - I hope Jake is feeling better! Poor thing!

Janet - After the trip in August we will be back at square 1. The APs will be expired so our next trip will be starting from scratch. And of course I have DH and the Uncles pushing for DL. We'll see.

Vicki - That was quite a day of shopping! It sounds like you guys bought about as much as we got rid of!

DH pulled a ton of stuff out of his closet that he took to Goodwill. I pulled out a few things (I get rid of things more often than he does) and I cleared out "the corner". It is the catch-all where we throw empty boxes, rolls of wrapping paper, odds & ends we have no good place for. Some of it was stuff we meant to donate last time but the box got left behind. I found 5 pieces of my stuff that needs to go to the dry cleaners - I never dry clean anything. Now there is actually room in the corner for us to put some sort of drawers or something to hold the overflow of DH's stuff. The closet is still full and so are all 3 dressers.

YIPPEE!!!

Gary made a comment the other day that I need to slow down on the trips with the remodeling that is going to start.

I know fixing up our home is important & that it is going to cost quite a bit, but I need my trips. So maybe next year I will just plan one

I assume it will be a BIG one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!

Same here, my AP expires in Oct.

I brought a bunch of boxes home from work today. Large trash day is coming up & we plan on getting rid of a lot of stuff!
