DDA Chapter 6

Glynis, what a wonderful memorial for Carissa.

We get our new roof this weekend, glad I don't have to do anything.

 

[PNO4TE]

Thanks. I'm not so sure I totally like it. I'll see after Mickey moves from in front of the castle.

There's a castle???

That's what Katie said when we told the kids this morning. She and Jacob and Leslie were thrilled! Mary was not so happy. She does not want to give up her role as baby in the family. Guess we've got some issues to work out.

Those issues will work themselves out too. Mary will be ready to be the big sister eventually.

Deb - I can't wait to see pictures of everything you have accomplished!

Janet - very smart to use those young men to do that heavy lifting. You are well on your way to completely re-doing your house too! And your trip is so very close.

Lindsay - I know you are counting the hours until your trip. Not long now!

Glynis - glad to hear that your morning sickness is not debilitating. Makes for a much nicer pregnancy, right?

Denise - it is almost time!

Good morning, DDA!

They are promising sunshine here at some point today. I will believe it when I see it!

Good morning DDA!

Last night I had to make a quick dash into the grocery for some items. On the door was a sign posting available jobs. They have open a cake decorator, which they are willing to train, and a bakery packager which is late at night. I think that the hours would be perfect and I do love to decorate cakes, especially if the mess is not in my house! I am calling today in hopes that I can get an interview. I really think this is the way to go right now. I am dreading spending the summer with the boys and that in and of itself is not a good mindset for anyone. I enjoyed last summer immensely and want that freedom to be able to come and go as we please.

So can I ask for you all to keep your fingers crossed that this is going to be exactly what I need. I'd appreciate it!!

Hi, DDA!

I have been trying to keep up, but I think it's been a week since my last post.

Work continues to be busy (yuck),

Amy - wonderful news about Julie and Jack. I'm so glad to hear all went well - he sounds like a healthy size for 1 mo. early! The pics of you and Jennifer were fabulous - thanks for being our designated shopper.

Denise - so excited for you and the rest of the figs. It doesn't look like our plans will jive at all (had originally planned to go to the P&PP on 5/2, but scratched them), but I'll keep an eye out for you guys! Have fun!!!!!!!

Deb (and Chris) - congrats on all the hard work on the house, and on the new truck! Everything looks fabulous. for a good appraisal.

Good luck, Robyn!! I think a change would be good for you!

Denise, Lindsay, Bernadette & Janet - You lucky girls! I wish I had a May trip!

Bernadette - Good luck on your bag quest! DS loves New Balance shoes. Marshall's seems to have the best selection. That brand is getting hard to find.

Glynis - Carissa's service sounds lovely.

Lindsay - Glad you could pop in!

Deb & Janet - Sounds like things are continuing to progress with the house projects!

Heidi - Hope the new roof goes smoothly!

 

[tinknme]

Debbie I love the purple Tinkerbell design

Heidi hope all goes smoothly with the new roof!

I am very tired this morning & just a little sore lol The sun is shining & it is suppose to get close to the 80's today!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Has anyone seen the thread titled Disney character nuggets? If not, do check it out.

Molly and Lucy had their check ups yesterday. Both did really great but I will give everyone a piece of advice. Do not take an infant and a 4 year old at the same time! Molly had to get 4 shots yesterday and became totally freaked out at the thought. By the time the nurse got there with the shots she was a mess. The nurse had to push Molly up against the wall to get her to hold still. Molly kept elbowing the nurse trying to knock the needle out of her hand. And there was not much I could do as I was holding Lucy.

Lucy is on the small side. She is only in the 20% percentiles for height and weight. She weighed in at 17lbs and is 27 inches long. Our doctor doesn't think she is eating quite enough. She wants me to increase her table foods but I know it won't happen for a while. Lucy just started eating fruit and veggies about 2 weeks after our Disney trip. She shows no interest in feeding herself anything other than cheerios. But overall a good checkup and she was impressed at her verbal skills, Lucy's a great babbler!!

Molly also fared well, not counting the shots. We need to have her ear tubes removed soon and discussed the need to have her allergy tested. We talked about her behavior and she really thinks that it's her age and the fact that she has a baby sister. She also said she really didn't believe me that she was so rotten because of how well she behaves there. My children really know how to put on a show
