DDA Chapter 9

They still pinch in two spots. I just have really wide feet, and even these seem small in the arch area... Don't get me wrong, they are still comfortable, that's for sure, except for those two spots. I don't get it. I still have my back up pair.

Put them in the dryer and get them hot. Then put them on your feet or pull on the areas that are tight. That should loosen them up. The other option is to get your feet good and stuck in the mud and try to pull your feet up. That does a good job of stretching them as well

I've made sure that the boys rooms are all tidied up. I didn't make them vacuum or dust, but at least everything is put away and all the stuff that came home from school has found a home...much of it in the fire pit. I've also done 2 loads of laundry so that is caught up. Since we had to do a thourough cleaning last week we are in really good shape for next week. It seems strange not to be stressing with a week to go.

I wore my Croc Cleos into the brook when I chaperoned Nick's field trip and I totally got stuck in the mud. It really stretched the straps out. I washed them and threw them in the dryer and they tightened back up I'm sure I was a sight to behold stuck in the brook wearing capris no less I would love to see Chanon give it a try in the heels though. If she could video tape it she might win some money on Funniest Home Videos. That would be a nice wedding present

 

[yellowfish78]

You guys are crazy. I thought about tossing them in the dryer but they have a metal attachment on them - I might just use a hair dryer to spot stretch it.

Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes today. I'm off to Publix to pick up three cakes and then head to the doctor. BK's party is at 5pm. I'll be back later tonight!

Denise, I've been meaning to tell you that I love your picture of the kids with Lady Tremaine. That is such an awesome sight!

I took Mom to have some labs drawn. They want to make sure her white cell count isn't too high. She wasn't happy about that.

I want to go to the grocery store and buy some food, but she isn't feeling very well so I brought her home. I am going to have to draft Diva to come with me because I will never find my way back if I try to go out alone! I am STARVING, so Diva better hurry up with her shower!

Speaking of changes, we switched over to the Poly. It seems to me that DH has said before that he wants to try it sometime. So we'll try it! I have to move the fishing excursion to the Poly dock instead of WL, and I need to change an ADR for the day we move from SSR to Poly. But DH doesn't want me to do that today because I didn't bring the charger for my phone and the battery has to last through Monday night.

Chanon - Good luck with the shoes!

 

[tinknme]

Hope all is well with your mom & I am glad you took her in!

You are going to love the Poly! I keep eyeballing it for our last few nights, but I keep telling myself that I can't really afford it(& I can't). Hopefully it will show up unavailable & then I will quit thinking about it. Right now I can get it for the 12th - 16th. I need to quit checking the AP site, but that's not going to happen

What dates did you book?

so we have no power in a third of my building....so I called our electrical contractor to make sure it wasn't their doing( they are helping put A/C in the Sanctuary) AFTER I checked the breakers and asked the other company here today if they had accidently done something.

Nope, none of the above...we aren't getting power from the street. But when I called the power company I got asked by 2 different men if I had checked the breakers . I told them that our electrical contractor said we aren't getting power from the street.

Why oh why does this happen when I am in the office by myself??

 

[babytrees]

Elizabeth-I am glad you took your mom in...hope she is on the road to recovery.

So Tammi how was the trolley and lunch??

 

[mommykds]

Daniel & I had a nice day out. Took him to run some errands & to McDonald's for lunch. He is starting to eat like a man all of a sudden..he needs 2 meals now!

He is such a joy. It's hard to appreciate your kids when they are all together driving each other nuts but having this week with just he & I has been great. We have Monday to ourselves & the the girls have 1/2 days Tues, Wed, & Thurs..then I have all 3 home for the summer .

Hope someone gets it figured out soon!

Janet,
Just curious...
Did you ask for Alligator Bayou or the Mansions when you go in August?

We will be staying at the AB section as thats the only rooms that fot 5. I was thinking of having the boys do the catch & release fishing trip..Dana is not a fisherman but Daniel has wanted to go for some time & this time would be good.

Our arrival plans are to check in on the 17th, take the boat to DTD, shop til we drop (resort change means more goodies to bring home! ) maybe eat at Wolfgang Puck's (haven't been there since 1998) & then take the bus to the BC & go to Epcot with dinner at Biergarten that night. I am still trying to tell Dana he will be sick on the 16th!

Does everything want to shut down early for the weekend????
Here we cannot get in touch with the playgrounds or counselors cause AT&T is down. Plus our computers are trying to revolt!!!

I am so ready to go home.

 

[tinknme]

I requested the Mansions, I hope I get it!

Your arrival plans sound good For our arrival, we will eat & then probably go to bed

I was thinking of the fishing for the boys too, I think they would enjoy!

DH called earlier to tell me I got a ticket in the mail for running a red light a couple of weeks ago. $75 fine. I don't run red lights! It was when I was coming back from the salon. There is an intersection where there are 2 lights really close together. If the back one turns green before the front one you end up in the intersection, and apparently when the back one turned red my bumper was still in the intersection. It is a very congested area. (NW Hwy & the Tollway, for Marci & Lindsay.) So I didn't "run" the light in the sense of driving through it after it changed. I would have been at a dead STOP when it turned red. Red light cameras suck.

First did he really have to tell you about it? Second, can you fight it?

I'll talk to you more soon, especially once it's just us girls here and they mostly just sleep! You know, when I'm not just watching them!

Hope your swelling goes down soon! It must be wonderful to be home! Can't wait to see more photos of your cuties!

We had a great time at Cedar Point. Leighanna loved it. I took some pictures and will try to upload them later today! Right now I need some sleep. I am feeling my age. I just can't bounce back as quickly as I used to!

Glad you had a fun time! Looking forward to seeing photos!

Sophie had her dance rehearsal last night. This is her 4th year at dance.
This weekend will be all recitals. The girls perform in multiple shows so it will be busy but they love it. I have to order their bouquets today.

Another beauty!!!

One week from now we should be in Conneticut by now I'm getting really excited

Beings we are arriving so late on the 5th, I had Chanon book us at ASMo for the night. This saves me about $65 Now we will check into POR on the 6th, my boys are going to be really confused now

I will pack enough stuff in our carry ons for the night & next morning. I will ask the front desk to have bell service hold our luggage & then when we check out I will just have them transfer it over to POR

Now if I decide on adding the DDP I only need it for 10 days, so that saves me another $114! I need to see how late ASMo food court is open, I know we will be hungry when we arrive

I can't believe tomorrow is our 45 day mark & I am still adding/changing things

The menu on allears says midnight but dinner only til 10pm-icecream is open til midnight and I'm sure they have stuff in a grab & go setting too.

Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes today. I'm off to Publix to pick up three cakes and then head to the doctor. BK's party is at 5pm. I'll be back later tonight!

I'm glad to hear you're getting your Mom seen!

Good luck with the groceries!

What are your Poly dates? It is my fav resort! Love the atmosphere there at night with the tiki torches and the polynesian music and the beach and watching the castle change colors.

WOW your girls go late. Joe & Lizzy were done Wednesday. Emma's last day of nature camp was yesterday. Yesterday Lizzy was sick-fever & headache. I think they may have been why she hated everything I bought Wednesday night.

Isn't one on one time special! That is why I love my "solo" trips with the kids. I know they wouldn't work for everyone but they seem to work for us. I'm thinking about taking Lizzy the first week of February next year-the kids have 2 half days that week. Then I could take Joe on my birthday trip and then Emma for her 7th birthday in Jan 2010. It is wierd not to have another trip already booked.
