DDA Chapter 6

[Steffy]

Janet - Love the new furniture! I'll bet it would look great in your house.

Deb - Nick's room looks wonderful! I really like that bedding, etc.

Debbie - I love the stick figure design. So cute!

Vicki - Prayers and for your family. I hope your uncle is doing better soon and the biopsy results for your cousin are good.

Anne Marie - Yeah for packing!!!

Marci - Congrats to the boys on the good games. I know what you mean about ODing on Disney Channel. On some school breaks or weekends I have to beg Rachel to please, for the love of God, let me change the channel. There are only so many episodes of the same show I can take at a time.


Robyn - Happy belated birthday to Molly! I hope the party was fun! Ack to the haircuts! Sorry your growing out work was for naught.

Amy - I probably missed it before, but how was the Fancy Nancy party?

Jen - The possible port excursion sounds great! I would be all over that one.

Bernadette - Love the sewing projects!! All very cute and the fabrics for the new projects are cute too.

Jennifer - Sounds like a good plan! And if we end up going in Sept we'd be there the same time!

Tom - Sorry to hear that Leighanna is having bus issues. I'm glad that you can take her to help easy the anxiety especially with so many years ahead of her.

Elin and Janet - Congrats on the big milestones!

Theresa - Watch your mail this week!

Thanks for the dittoable post Robyn! I wanted to catch up, but I'm exhausted. I'm off to bed soon.

Apparently the someone "stole" Hunter's games from the bowling alley before our friend got there to pick them up. Now the lady at the bowling alley had the case with the games in her hand when I called. Apparently they are now gone. I just got the email so I called the bowling alley and of course the person there now has no idea what I'm referring to. I plan to call first thing in the morning. I would think that they would be liable to some extent since they had the case. I wonder if I can file a police report, or maybe they should. Maybe their insurance would cover the games We just made a list and we think he had 9 games in the case. 9 games at an average of $30 per game is $270 I'm feeling sick over this

What would you guys do?

 

[Steffy]

Thank you all for the comments about my kitchen.

I have to do the dishes and then I'm going to bed. I am falling asleep in my chair and I have a really long day tomorrow. Nite all.

Did you get the name of the person who had the case in her hand?

Yes they are liable.

I think the crowds will be a smaller in September but I don't think it will be much cooler. Sorry we won't meet you!

I am bummed about that as well. We went in Sept. 2002 for our honeymoon and it was cooler their then here at the time.

Hello, DDA! First day of spring break found me at the walk-in with a UTI. Fortunately, he prescribed the painkiller along with the antibiotic, so it hasn't slowed me down too much.

We don't have any great plans for the week. There is no school, but the other activities don't stop.

Today we had lunch at Friendly's (that place is getting pricey for the quality of the food). We also went to Target and the orthodontist. Fun day, huh?

It looks like Laura is going to need a frenectomy. We can't get into the oral surgeon's office for a consult for a month.

I have been missing you all, though I try to pop in at least to read a couple of times a week.

What is a frenectomy?

Deb

Did you get the name of the person who had the case in her hand?

Yes they are liable.

Nope...I didn't forsee a problem as she was very nice. It may have been the manager. They didn't deny that they had it, but now claim that it was stolen. I sure hope they have insurance for things like that.

 

[tinknme]

for Julie!

Julie has her c-section scheduled for next Tuesday...hopefully Baby Jack will wait that long!

 

[tinknme]

Deb I would report it, sorry this happened

I need to sleep as I have a lot to do tomorrow. My mother helped today. We painted from 9 AM - 4 PM. The hall and entry ceilings are painted as well as most of the trim in those areas. Chris gave the doors a coat of paint tonight. I can't tell you how much I hate painting

Morning all--have a great day

That is wonderful! Sorry you seem sad, but boys are just as special

So true Janet! I love all my babies the same. My girls are beautiful & my son melts my heart.

I would report it. Take it to the manager, but if no resolution, I would file a police report. I hate when my kids take those games out of the house since they are sooooo little & you can loose them easily (& they are so expensive) Good luck Deb.

 

[mommykds]

Another long day here...Is it Friday yet?

Ok now I have too many suitcases!

Have a wonderful day!!!

 

[tinknme]

Good morning

Good morning, DDA!

I spoke to my friend this morning and she said that their story is that the girl said that she saw the case, but when she went to pick it up it was gone. That is so not what happened as I was on the phone with her for 10 or more minutes and she went to get it while I was on the phone. She also took Hunter's name and phone number and they NEVER called to say that it was gone. I can call in 40 minutes and I am not in a good mood.

 

[bethbuchall]

Good morning, DDA!

Hi Beth,
hope the meds work

good to "see" you

Hi, Beth! Sorry you aren't feeling well, but I am glad it isn't too terrible!

Baskin Robbins is doing $.31 scoop night on April 30 starting at 5 PM.

DH said my Mickey Moms' Panel packet arrived today!!

DS had math homework over the weekend. That NEVER happens. So DH told him he didn't have to do it on Friday. He worked on it a little bit on Saturday but he was really distracted. I told him he could have some meds and finish it once he could focus. No, no, no he wanted to do it in tiny little chunks over the course of Saturday and Sunday. Well, he completely crashed and burned on the assignments. Because he didn't bother to follow the directions about rounding!! It wasn't that he didn't understand, it was that he couldn't be bothered to do it properly. I told DH it is his fault for not enforcing the homework rule (all homework is done immediately after school), and it is partly my fault for letting DS talk me into letting him do it without meds. We are the adults and we shouldn't be letting DS call the shots about homework and meds. So now he has several pages of corrections to do tonight, a language arts project that is due Wednesday that he needs to work on, and vocabulary for Social Studies. It doesn't sound like it will be a fun night.

to all! to Elizabeth and your ds.

Hope you are feeling better soon Beth, enjoy Spring break!

I had to look this up "frenectomy". Sorry Laura has to wait so long.

I hope that they can fit her in quickly for the procedure once we get the consult. She wants to be done with these "braces" (Invisalign) as soon as she can, and this may delay things a little bit.

Well that's the deal with the girl's school. Since Daniel goes to private school they do not collect federal funding & therefore do not rely on attendance to get their money. As long as we do not abuse the priviledge (& & 3 days isn't) we are o.k. The girls go to public school & the principal there is a truent zealot too (I like that terminology! )

I can understand truancy laws to a point, but there needs to be more flexibility than there is in most places these days. It also doesn't seem right that the kids can miss school for school-sponsored trips or school sports events, but heaven forbid a parent try to take them on the exact same trip or to a non-school sports meet during school hours.

Stopping by to say with a fun post count.

Very impressive pictures, Deb and Stephanie!

Congratulations on your milestone post counts, Elin and Janet!

Tia, the party was great! Here's a link to the pictures I posted last week.

And Robyn, I loved seeing Molly's birthday pictures! You really put me to shame with those fancy cupcakes! I'm sorry about the scissors incident this morning. That's one reason I'm not pushing the whole "Alyssa has weak control of scissors" thing at home.

Julie has her c-section scheduled for next Tuesday...hopefully Baby Jack will wait that long!

Alyssa got her first Webkinz (a polar bear she named Corduroy) and I am so clueless! We bought a trampoline for some exercise, but how do we put it outside?

I hope everyone's week is off to a good start.

Hi, Amy! I loved the pictures of the Fancy Nancy party. I had never heard of Fancy Nancy until you started posting about the books...guess I'm not a great preschool teacher, huh? (I also hadn't heard of the Clique books, and now Laura is reading them as fast as we can get them from the library. She's a little old for them, but she is enjoying them.)

Robyn, I also loved your birthday pictures, and I am sorry about Molly's hair. Laura chopped a good bit off the side of her head when she was younger, and she twisted a Lego tree up in the front of her hair so badly that we had to cut it out. She has the world's slowest growing hair, too.

I hope that Julie's C-Section goes well and that she can start enjoying that new little baby boy.

I can't help with much in the Webkinz world, but I can recommend "Booger Gets an A". For some reason, I get addicted to that game.

That information summed it up nicely. Hers is the one between the top teeth. Right now, the Invisalign is pushing the top teeth together and this tissue is getting pinched. It is quite painful for her, so she is *almost* looking forward to having it taken care of. They can do the surgery quickly with a laser now, and there isn't too much pain afterwards. Matthew had to have similar surgery before he got his braces.

I need to sleep as I have a lot to do tomorrow. My mother helped today. We painted from 9 AM - 4 PM. The hall and entry ceilings are painted as well as most of the trim in those areas. Chris gave the doors a coat of paint tonight. I can't tell you how much I hate painting

The boys' rooms look terrific! I really need to do a lot around here. I wish that I had your drive...I am so lazy.

Another long day here...Is it Friday yet?

Ok now I have too many suitcases!

Have a wonderful day!!!

I am so excited for you, but I do hope the week doesn't go too quickly. I'm not ready to get back to school or to get the kids back to school.

Morning DDA!

Question for you experts ( ) If we transfer from Universal to Disney at 7am - and it's about a 24 minute drive no traffic on I-4 - and it's Columbus Day - do you think we'd still be able to check in at the resort, transfer to EPCOT for a Segway Tour that starts at 9am? We have to be in the park by 8:45, and I have to pick up our tickets before entering. We plan on just doing a taxi from the hotel to EPCOT....

Definitely call and talk to them this morning. From there, I don't know what I'd suggest. A friend of mine lost her coupon file (and we're talking major-couponer) at Walgreens a few months ago. She realized and called. The manager said it was found and that she was putting it in the safe for her. The next day when Courtney went to pick it up, it wasn't there and no one seemed to have any idea what she was talking about. In that file was about 40 free Chick-fil-A meal coupons and a dozen of the big formula "checks" plus tons of other stuff. Easily a couple hundred in savings. I hope they can clear things up for Hunter.
