DDA Chapter 6

[PNO4TE]

Since we've had 2 requests for the Reader's Digest version of DDA:

There is a lot of remodeling going on (not in my house ). Janet has a new bathroom, Deb and Chris started remodeling for an appraisal that happened yesterday.

We have had another run of the not feeling so hot go through the DDA.

Poor Tammi is in appliance/electronics H E double hockey sticks. Hopefully she comes out of it soon.

Jen is on bed rest. She needs to keep those buns in the oven for a few more weeks.

Neither Jen or Amy look pregnant-they look so cute .

A sewing bug seems to have attacked the DDA....the outfits are adorable.

We have 3 or 4 getting ready for trips....I am just a teeny bit jealous.

We have figured out that munchkins make us want to pull our hair out every once in awhile whether they are toddlers, teens or supposedly grown up.

Vicki was given a Girl Scout award.

Becky is feeling the "is school out yet?" bug....as is some of the DDA kiddos.

A few anniversaries and birthdays have been thrown in for good measure.

Other than that we are just CHATTY!!

An excellent job, as usual, Theresa!

I am sure that Lynn and Paula appreciate getting caught up so succinctly!

So Kyle last night, while looking over my shoulder, told me my signature was "totally lame". I told him he is more than welcome to change it, since I either have photoshop-block or just have nothing to show (no trips, no exciting photos from the couch ). Instead, he just chose to make fun of me some more. What a goober!

Prayers and for Julie please. Her c-section is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. She was so nervous when I talked to her, but I know everything is going to be just fine and Jack is going to be here in less than an hour!

Thanks for the reminder, Amy. thinking of her right now as it is about to begin!

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle Kyle... NEVER to a pregnant woman, especially if she is on bedrest and your wife!

He should NOT be making fun of someone in your condition!

I see Elin and I are thinking along the same lines.

for Julie. I hope her C-section is as easy as mine were!

Good thoughts for Julie and baby Jack!

 

[tink2020]

That's what I'm thinking! (even if he is right)

 

[lmartin2711]

It is good to hang out here for a while. I'll try and not be such a stranger.

Amy.....let us know how Julie is doing later. Both of mine were c-sections and hearing what others have gone thru with long labor I am glad they were.

 

[babytrees]

I think that was a great update Theresa!

And thank you all for your compliments. I was just wearing a flattering shirt and I had a 4-year-old blocking me. Believe me, I've gained 25 pounds...I'm definitely big and pregnant!

Prayers and for Julie please. Her c-section is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. She was so nervous when I talked to her, but I know everything is going to be just fine and Jack is going to be here in less than an hour!

I forgot today was the c/s and Jack's birthday!! So exciting!!

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle Kyle... NEVER to a pregnant woman, especially if she is on bedrest and your wife!

this is what I was going to post....so I'll just add a couple of tsk, tsk, tsk's!!

Tammi - I like your new ticker... I had looked at some of those too and wasn't sure which banner and sliders to choose. You chose well, grasshopper!

Luckily I am an anal person... Delta has once again changed our flights for our September trip and sent us no notifications. In fact they have changed our flights no less than 5 times since we booked our fares a couple of months ago. At least this time I got a very nice CS rep on the phone who was able to link our itinerary numbers together so I don't have to keep changing our seats every time! (My flight is on miles and myBob's is on cash so they have different numbers.) One good thing about this current change is that our flight is leaving Orlando 45 minutes later than the one they had changed us to last week.

Bernadette I was just checking the weather for the start of our trip & wow it looks to be warm! I will be packing shorts only for this trip & plenty of sunscreen

We have storms going through right now, it is so gloomy looking. I really need to get motivated here as tonight we are pulling up the carpet in the living room & dining room

The long range forecast looks like what I experienced at WDW the last 2 years for the 1st week of May. There was at least 1 night last year that I was glad I had put pants on at night. I will just wear a pair of jeans on the plane and pack all shorts.

We had a VERY strange weekend.

Hi! You never slow down! Hope things work out for Cassie!

Prayers and for Julie please. Her c-section is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. She was so nervous when I talked to her, but I know everything is going to be just fine and Jack is going to be here in less than an hour!

Hope Julie and baby Jack are doing well!

Congrats on the extra time at Disney!

Elizabeth-I went to Marshalls at lunch looking for a Baggallini backpack but they didn't have any Baggallini products until I checked the kids backpack/diaper bag section and found this:

It's a great bag that I got for $14.99. I think I might take it in May but not sure Emma will like the pink. I'm not sure it is quite big enough. I already have a ton of bags but I really love this one.

You can attach a bag to my suitcase-really attached to the front of the bag not just over the handle and I was thinking I would take the shoulder bag that attaches to that plus my daypack for carry on as I will also have the stroller, Emma and Emma's carryon. Once I get rid of my checked bag I'll be fine so I'm hoping for warm weather here around 7:30am so Emma & I can use the skycap outside.

Here's my suitcase-sort of as I got the older version on clearance. This is shown with the daypack attached but I can also add the shoulder bag or a waist pack.

and here's the shoulder bag that can attach to it:

And I have this big tote too that is really nice but I don't know if I can handle that with everything else I'll have. This retails for $150 but is something like $70 on ebags. I paid under $20.

And I have a nice rolling duffle from LLBean that I took in January that I like and fits a lot but again how to handle that with all the other stuff until I get rid of my checked bag.

I think I may have a bag problem.........

Of course not that I'm making all these fancy outfits I don't know how I'll fit everything in my one checked bag. I need to stop sewing and start packing.

We've got lots of Marshalls around here so I'll keep looking for the backpack too.

Bernadette - I am in Marshall's ALL the time and the Baggallini I got yesterday was the first time they had it, so keep looking. They also had another bag that was more like a purse, but I couldn't think of any practical use for that one.
Your bags are cool! I would lose things in all those zippers, though!
If you are checking one bag what difference would it make to check a second one? Do you have to go to curbside check-in without help? Because you don't want to get to WDW and realize you don't have enough choices in clothing.

Congratulations!!!!

 

[triplefigs]

Hope you find relief soon!

Good luck with the appraisal and interest rate!



Thanks! Molly's dress was by far the most difficult item I've made in the past couple of weeks! I've got fabric to make Lizzy a patchwork twirl skirt and she says Molly needs one too.

You guys are going to have the BEST time!!!! What park will you be at on the 4th? I think Emma & I will head to Epcot after we check in. She says I get to pick the first ride because it is my birthday trip but she wants me to pick Test Track.

We actually drive home on the 4th, so we'll probably just miss you. Do you arrive the 3rd? We'll be at the BC that day and going to the Disney Channel Games Concert that night.

I think I can handle my one big checked bag with the shoulder bag attached and daypack on. Emma can be in the stroller. She doesn't like crowded places so I don't know how willing she'll be to walk-she gets scared and at least I'll know exactly where she is in the stroller. She can hold her backpack or I can put it in the stroller basket. I'm thinking if I took my bigger tote I could hang that off the stroller handles. So I'm pushing the stroller with one hand and pulling my checked bag with the other. HOW do I carry/pull a 2nd checked bag? I guess I could make Emma walk and put the 2nd bag in the stroller.

I suppose I could take both the shoulder bag and the tote as Emma & are both allowed 1 carry on and a personal item. That tote is pretty good sized.

I did 5 nights with Joe in January so I should be able to do 6 nights with Emma in May. In January we had both cold and warm weather clothes. But I did mail a box in January. I plan a mailing stuff down for my owners locker but I didn't want to mail a box home.

I really need to pack to see what I'm dealing with here.
