DDA Chapter 6

[my3princes]

Wow, lots of going out to you all.

Jennifer I'm sure it is best for you to be on bedrest now. You need to keep them in for at least 7 more weeks. Trust me when I say that 35 weeks is early enough.

Glynis I'm so sorry to hear about you niece.

I know that many other requests for were out there so I'll just send a huge dose

Tom good luck with the air fare. I do hope you are all able to take a trip this year

I had my sight checked today and it seems that all is well. He thinks that I need to use eye drops 3 times a day to help them stay moist. He said that will help with my distance clarity. I'm relieved that it is as simple as that. After my appointment we ordered glasses for Hunter as his are getting scratched and he really needs a new back up pair. I picked up a new thermostat at Home Depot and installed that. It appears to work as it is toasty in here now. I also took the kids to a local ice cream place and we had ice cream and they played on the playground. It was a more relaxing day, but that just means that I have more to do tomorrow.

Work was so slow tonight. I'm not sure why Gosh I hope it is busier tomorrow night.

I feel alright. My abdomen does not hurt like yesterday. Still slight dull pain, but I think it was because it hurt so much yesterday. Basically my entire body between my chest and legs hurt a lot. It was not specific just pain all over.

Today my nose was bleeding. My throat still hurts a tiny bit and I have started sneezing. For some reason I have been a medical calamity the last few days.

Night all.

I got this in my email today..thought it was funny...

LIPSTICK IN SCHOOL - PRICELESS

According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI was recently faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the wash room. That was fine, but after they put on their
lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY..

There are teachers, and then there are Educators.

Ok now off to bed!

OMG EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Hi, everyone. I'm checking in. Won't be able to do much chatting for a few more days, but wanted to see how everyone is doing. I don't stand a chance of catching up, so could someone do a recap for me?

Just wanted to let y'all know that our niece, Carissa, who's been in and out of the hospital for the last 2 months, passed away on Sunday. It's been a really sad time, and likely to remain so for some time. She was only 22. She had Down's Syndrome, and had been aspirating her food and liquid for her entire life. I guess it's fairly common in Down's kids, and that indirectly led to her death. The family is just devastated! She was our ray of sunshine, and she will be missed. We are working on the funeral now. I've been asked to play the prelude and postlude music, plus accompany Alan in singing "Nearer My God To Thee" during the service. This is a really tough one.

The funeral will be on Tuesday morning. Wish us all luck that we can get through this. My SIL is really struggling. It's not the natural order of things to have a child die before you do.

I'm sending pixie dust to all of you! I miss chatting with you on a daily basis. Hopefully, life will calm down, soon, and I can come back home!

Glynis I am so sorry for you and your family

I'm so sorry to hear this, Glynis. Your family will all be in my thoughts and prayers this week, especially your SIL.

Becky - Feel better!!!! I hope at least some of the pains end ASAP with the others soon to follow.

Robyn - to Emma. I know how hard constant teacher changes are. I hope the permanent sub can stay.

Anne Marie - In case I don't catch you tomorrow...have a great trip!!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Well, I managed to get the front and a little of the back yards mowed today before running out of gas. The running out was my goal though so that was good. I got the oil drained, underside cleaned, air filter off and spark plug checked. The next step was removing the blade to prossible sharpen, probably replace, but it was not coming off for me! Finally got Dad down to help on that part and he managed to get it off finally. There was no way I was trying his method seeings as how I left the yard while he did it for fear a tool might go flying. The real benefit to his coming out though was that he offered to take the parts for replacements and thus he was the one paying for them, not me. So, now tomorrow I've got to fill the oil and finish mowing the back, then by recommendation of the local mower fixer guys, drain the oil again and put in all new. Hopefully that all means I'll have a lot let struggles with the mower this year! It also means I feel like Super Deb with my mechanical abilities. Doesn't hurt that Dad shocked the life out of my by calling me this evening and telling me he was proud of me for figuring out how and doing all of that stuff on my own this morning. Now that doesn't happen very often.

And now it's time for me to head to bed! Another too long Sox-Yank game that unfortunately ended badly for the Good Guys this time. That and I've just been too tired to carry Terra up to bed. Since that isn't going to improve any, I guess I'd better get to it before if becomes even harder to carry her up. night all!

 

[my3princes]

The bowling alley never called me today. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm not sure that it is worth my time and aggravation. I have so much going on and this entire issue has already caused me to lose a couple of nights sleep. I'm just frustrated.

Jen My DDIL came home for Christmas break and ended up on bedrest for 15 weeks! She, like you, is an executive and was greatly missed by her organization. When she went back to work this week she was greeted like a rock star, they were so happy to see her. Seems now the crisis is over, the bedrest worked and she'll deliver around Mother's Day as planned.

Bedrest is just what teh doctor ordered for you. 30, 35, 38 weeks would be WAY better than now. The girls need everyday you can give them in their little oven of love. Relax. My DDIL used conference calls and emails to keep in touch with the office as much as she could without endangering the baby. You'll find a good balance too.

Now get to bed!!! She was able to get some weird contraption that allowed her to use her laptop in bed. I'll ask her to send me the link if you'd like.

Enjoy your trip Anne Marie!!!!!!​

Emma could use a tiny dose of pixie dust. Her teacher was out of school the week of Easter, her grandmother died so she went home for the funeral. The weekend before she was to come back she broke her foot. Her dog and her mother's dog pulled her down the steps. So it's been weeks since she has been in school. And will likely be out until the 28th of April. It could be longer, she cannot put any weight on her foot at all. So in the meantime Emma's class has had lots of substitutes. They do have a permanent one now that was there the end of last week, this week and will be there next week.

Emma is having a hard time adjusting to the new routine and missing her teacher. She is in tears about it and has been the past few nights.

Here ya go....
