Welcome Patrice and all the new moms who came so fast together that I lost count and didn't get to say hi.
The more moms the more fun.
So today was kind of one of those days. I took Ariel to the eye doctor this morning. Her wandering eye is getting worse (I could have told you that without the $60 co pay) but anyway, she is now in phase 2 of trying to correct it. That is patching her bad eye for 3 hours then patching her good eye for 3 hours every day alternating. She needs to do it for 3 hours a day, so not too bad. I really hope this works since phase 3 is surgery. It was scary hearing them say that. I really hope this pacthing works. Anyone have experience with this? Good outcomes to share?
Then we came home and played and it was nice. But I got hot so I came in and watched them from inside and didn't I sign on to Facebook and I had a friend request. It was my bio-father's youngest daugter. UGGG, I just mentioned them on here what 2 days ago, 3 maybe.
This is not the first contact from her. The last came at Christmastime 2008 and before that was Thanksgiving 2006. I remember because both times were right when we got home from Disney, one time it was waiting when we got home and the other was a couple weeks later. I feel bad for her that she wants to know all her father's children (from my understanding there are 9 all together) but it is not something I want to be a part of. Grumpy has tried to tell them that I am sorry, I don't wish any of them harm, but to start in my 30 meeting all them is just not something I have in me. I was hurt too badly and can't get over it. Anyway, I hate that they do it at the holidays. I get that then is when she thinks of family, I understand since I have no family and this time of year wonder what it would have been like to have had one, but I just can't do it. I was hurt too bad. So anyway, coming in to that made the day go sour again.
And I didn't get picked for the Disney Mom's Club In Home Celebration this year. I did last year so I can't complain but it just added to the day. I'm not really that upset but I don't think I would have been upset at all on any other day.
On a good note, the girls and I made peanut butter playdough today. Has anyone ever had that at the Coral Reef? My kids loved it so we make it from time to time. Since I had all the ingredients and I needed a Disney Pick Me Up, we made some. We also decorated eggs. We usually do it on Easter but today seemed like a good day so we did it. There was one issue there too that got to me, but I got over it. Another "any other day it wouldhave been nothing" things.
Our fridge has been freezing things for several months. We need a new one but I am not there yet. Well I bolied the eggs as I always do but half way through coloring them Pluto dropped one and it cracked and it was softboiled! They must have gotten too cold and so they had to come to a normal temp first so they didn't cool all the way. I reboiled them but they all cracked. 3 dozen craked eggs. They are fine to eat but wern't pretty to color so I used my last dozen to cook and cooked longer and thankfully we have a dozen pretty eggs and 3 dozen less them pretty but still colorful eggs.
So, all was well when Grumpy came home an d wrapped his arms around me and all was well again. Tink is at her friend's tonight so the 4 of us are going to hang out and relax and rest up for a "way too filled but it will be fun" tomorrow.
We have the Town Egg Hunt at 10am. It is fun and Ariel's last year she can go becuase it is only up to age 8. So we will take her there. Then we are going to Adventure Landing for their egg hunt at 11. After that we will go to Michael's for free craft day and Home Depot to build butterfly houses then run home for some lunch (or I may break down and have a bite out) then our BIG egg hunt is at 3 so I want to get there by 2 to get all the eggs out. After that we are going to bring the kids home and Grumpy and I are going on our date. Not sure what we are doing yet, but a date somewhere.
Yep, tomorrow will be a busy day but so much fun I know. Looking forward to it.
Tonight I am looking forward to the new Wife Swap. I don't know why but I like that show and since we have nothing going on tonight I am happy to sit back and watch.
Sorry it was so long, if yo uare still reading thanks for listening. And if you have any experience with kids and wandering eye/eye surgery let me know. Thanks!
This weekend is crazy busy ~ we have Easter dinner for 19 at my house. 
Tomorrow will definitely be better!!!
Must thank Suellen for starting this thread! 
I'm surprised no one has thought of it before... 
Thank you for the peanut butter play dough recipe! I can't wait to try it with DS2 and DD4.
