DDA Chapter 7

Oh and by the way!

I am going Panama Canal Cruisin'
​

My vacation request was approved. Airfare is booked to California. I need to drive to the airport to book airfare home. If you book online through Allegiant air they charge an $11.50 per ticket or $10 per ticket booking by phone convenience fee. They do not charge that fee if you purchase at the airport. Since I work nearby I will just buy the tickets at the airport.

We also need to find a hotel room for California and rental car for both CA and FL. Buy Disneyland tickets and lots more.

WooHoo!!!! Sounds like a blast!!!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

I can hear my bed calling my name, have a great night.

Sounds like a busy night for you tomorrow!

Tell Nicholas the girls love to watch the boys play baseball

Nicholas had his first baseball practice tonight. His coach seems really nice. He introduced himself to each boy, shook their hand, and then they worked on throwing, catching, batting, and fielding. I don't think Nicholas is going to like it though. There aren't any girls on his team.

Tomorrow is Alyssa's dress rehearsal for her ballet recital on Friday. She has to be there from 5-6. Nicholas has his end of the season soccer party, someplace not even near where Alyssa will be. His party is from 5:30-6:30. I told his dad that he needs to take Nicholas, as I can't be in 2 places at once. He agreed, so now I just have to hope that 'something' doesn't come up. : Normally Bob would take Nicholas, but I need him with me because dress rehearsal is the only time we can video and photograph the dances. Prohibited the night of the recital. So he will tape while I take pictures.

I'm heading to bed, too. Tonight was the school carnival, and I'm wiped out! It was 94 degrees, and no wind. Cn we say HOT? Anyway, it's done, and that is the last of my room mother duties. I'll be grateful when school is out! Only a week and a half left!

 

[my3princes]

It's tough when a pet dies. I hope you don't get sick! I'll send pixie dust and good thoughts your way!

Becky. I'm sorry to hear about Penny.

Chris talked me into sending an email to the casting call. I'm sure we won't hear anything, but we couldn't resist trying.

Today we are taking both moms out for dinner as a late Mother's Day celebration.

They haven't seen the pictures from our trip

since they both don't have a computer so we can show them today so they can pick out the ones they want printed up.

My evil BIL & SIL

will be here in 2 weeks. Seems they don't like the daycare for their 2 kids where they live so they are going to come up here & have my MIL, my other BIL, & me watch them for the summer (8 weeks)....hello????Did anyone ask me?

I think my MIL volunteered me. I love my niece & nephew & I don't mind having them here, but #1 BIL

should have asked me himself,, & #2 they have always taken advantage of my MIL & are down right nasty to her. They expect everyone to help them (with child care & financially) since they can't get themselves on their feet alone but remain toxic to all who are around them.

#3 I have to figure out what to do with my own kids while I am working this summer.

I would be really pi$$ed off and tell them that they do not decide how my summer would be spent.

Hope you get this figured out.

Hi guys, I thought I would show you the newest things that I have been making.

Bags and wallets!

DW loves the Ver@ Br@dley bags, so I thought I would come up with a different version!

This is one for her friend. She picked aqua colors, not my favorite color, but I think it still turned out pretty good, except for a few of my "goof ups".

Bag and Wallet:

Inside of wallet:

(I accidentally put the zipper in upside down! Zippers are not fun!)

Inside of bag with zippered pocket and 2 patch pockets:

And yes, I did quilt the fabric myself!


We were at the mall the other day, and DW got so many complements on her bag. She kept telling everyone that I made it, and they wanted business cards. I guess I should get some printed.
Not sure I want to start that though!

Very nice. Good choice of colors!!!

 

[tinker1bell]

You are extremely talented! I would definitely be interested in a set, especially if it included Mickey!

Mickey, Tinkerbell, Eeyore, Bambi I could go on......

 

[tinker1bell]

Elin,

I just love your pictures.

 

[tinker1bell]

BETH I HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL DAY!

Beth,,,Happy belated Birthday

 

[tinker1bell]

My service unit told me I did not need to attend the Bridging ceremony tonight, so I get to be home tonight.

So after spending all weekend soggy from being out in the rain, I think I may be getting sick. I am in my bed with my laptop.

My cat Penny died today. This is the first time I have been petless in over 20 years. She was 18 years old.

Becky,,,,

Okay I just realized the Food and Wine festival will be going on while we are at WDW. Are their any tips I should Know? Should we try to do this? Does any one know any thing about this Behind the Seeds Greenhouse Tour?

Hi Ya'll,,

Hal and I had a good time. I probably more than Hal, but Bruce gave him a few happy pills, so he did better each day.

We finally left at noon and drove straight thru except for a stop for sandwiches and two stops for me for the bathroom.

I think Hal thought Friday night was the night for the guys to save the world, but Bruce wasn't ready for it. So, by about 11:30pm, Hal was a little loopy, in pain, and definately ready for bed. I had to help him get down the hallway to the bedroom.

Saturday morning, Carol and I drove to the co-op they belong to and I bought a really pretty pair of earrings. I will take a picture later and post it. Then we drove an hour away to Elkins for lunch and then to Buckhanon to pick up a table saw. We had a fun day but I must admit that I love being close to where I need to go when I have to shop.
The guys spent the day looking at videos about wood carving. I think Hal took a nap too.

Sunday it rained. so Carol and I put together a lot of floral arrangements for the wood vases Bruce had made.

Today we drove home and made it back in about 5 and a half hours.

I always enjoy our time down there, because it is so very easy and laid back. The company is great, food delicious, and lots of great stories.

Thankfully the kids have no idea.

I sure hope he has better luck than we have had. That's what burns me about this other team, all those parents just sat in their chairs and yelled. None of them are actually doing anything.

Unfortunately at this level, it is often not about the kids. So many parents are living their lives through their children but are often unwilling to be involved in any way other than the "yelling" you see. Thankfully the kids don't know what is going on now. But, then will. And that is saddest of all. I hope this year ends very quickly for you and Eric and the kids, both at school and on the field.

 

[PNO4TE]

Elin,

I just love your pictures.

Thanks, Terry! Did you all have a good weekend too?

ETA: I should have kept reading! I see you had fun.
