I'm here now, for a little while. Alan took Jacob camping tonight, so the girls and I ordered pizza, and watched Sky High. It was a cute movie!

I was going to suggest that you and Bob come to Utah. You could see some fabulous scenery, etc. Not as thrilling as WDW, but I'll give a plug for my home state!

How are things going with the ex these days? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I was just wondering as things have gotten really bad with my sister's ex since their daughter turned 16, and when I hear what they are going through, I think of you and hope that you are doing better.

Thanks for all the info Janet. It would be sometime during the week of July 19. That is when my kids leave, so maybe the 19th -22 or 23rd.

 

[Glynis]

Well, it's bedtime for me! I've got to take my progesterone and hit the hay! That stuff is knocking me out, lately. Luckily, I don't have to get up early, so I'm planning on sleeping in!

I'll see you in the morning!

Things are okay, he is just a thorn in my side. We now have legal paperwork documenting his visitation, and I've been awarded exclusive possession of the house. Which means that even though he is still part owner he cannot come into the house. Oh, and the big one that he was a stickler about....he has to provide transportation for his visitation. He was having me meet him halfway to pick up the kids on Sunday evenings. After discussing with his attorney he decided that it was going to be a losing battle so he finally agreed to it. That was a biggie with me. Everyday the kids are my responsibility, taking them to daycare, sports, doctors, dentists, homework, extra curricular activities, etc. plus hold down a full time job. He could at least drive 20 minutes every other weekend. On the 30th he has an appraisor coming out to look at the house. That is the next and last major hurdle, buying him out. Hopefully I will be able to afford it. At least for the short term. Sorry if that was more of an answer than you wanted. I appreciate you asking.

Oh you could get Bellagio the 20th - 23rd for $159 a night. That is a great price & a place that I would love to stay at! I was in awe of this place when Gary & I went there.

What price range are you looking at per night?

Tammi I hope all goes well with the appraisal & you are able to buy him out

I have no idea. I was just looking at airfare and it is outrageous! Over $300 r/t pp. Maybe it's not such a good idea. The other idea I threw out was spending a night in NYC, seeing a show, driving up to Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard. I'm going to have to get with our resident TA next week.

 

[tinknme]

Yea airfare from here to Vegas is a little high for us as well. NYC sounds fun as well, I'm sure you will figure something out!

Yeah, I'll have to think about it alot. But thanks for all the ideas.

 

[Tammi67]

I'm heading to bed. Lots to do tomorrow. Goodnight all.

Elin-did you see this?

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=25152477#post25152477

I had not, Bernadette. Sounds like it may be taken care of, but I did offer my assistance if it is needed. Thanks for pointing it out!

 

[PNO4TE]

Three weeks from today, we'll be watching Wishes.

Wow! I am glad you made it to your in-laws and the campground. Enjoy your weekend, Vicky.

 

[PNO4TE]

We are all here and everyone has gone to his/her own bed except me. We had a nice time talking in the lounge and got a bite to eat. We plan to be up and at breakfast by 9:00 in the morning and ready to head over to the Performing Arts Center by noon for the graduation ceremonies. The majority of the University has their ceremony at the Coliseum at 9:00 a.m. I feel very fortunate that we don't have to sit there for hours and never really see Kristin go across the stage and receive her diploma. At least with the Theatre Dept doing their own (the entire School of the Arts does separate ceremonies) we will be up close and personal with her.

I will check in with you all in the morning!

Good night, DDA!

Elin hope you all have a wonderful day!
