CONGRATULATIONS on the trip for next year. I sooooooo want to go. If we do it will have to be either TG week, which DH did not care for or SPring Break or summer. I am happy for you

Thanks, I'm bouncing!

how exciting!!!!!! ray and i are thinking about going for a few days the first week of december 2008. i soooooo wanna go at christmas time. maybe we'll see you there!

That would be fun!

I hear ya girl



You can call Disney and use a AAA discount? My mom has AAA but I like to do all the planning, I'm a planner.

We have AAA, I just asked if there was a AAA discount available and there was and she gave it to me and didn't even ask for my number. It saved us almost 300.00, but I will be on the look out for better discount codes.

I'm trying to decide if I make a ticker or not. Goodness am I pathetic!

well, peeps, i must endure the thing i fear the most this evening........the middle school band christmas concert. ray's nephew is in band this year and his concert is tonight. do you think anyone would be offended if i wore ear plugs? or maybe i can just bring my ipod??? nevermind.....nothing can tune out the horror that awaits me.

The jr. high marching bands in the parade last week were amazing! Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. But then, I'm used to listening to kindergartners singing.


Monica-Glad your ressies worked out. I envy you.


Gosh, my moods are up and down. I haven't really seen AF since the beginning of October, but I think she's on her way. I'm trying to just enjoy all the excitement with the kiddies and just let life flow along. But at 3 in the morning I wake up with my heart pounding thinking about everything going on.

 

[pigget74]

Good morning all. Did not move to many pages yesterday. We went to a bonfire last night for DD swim team Christmas party. It was a wonderful 75 degrees when we left. THere were at least 50 kids there and they played dirty santa. DD was mortified--I am thinking one of the high schoolers brought the gift--her number was early in the game and the gift she picks was a pair of RED UNDERWEAR that said Merry Christmas on the front left and DON'T BE A GRINCH on the butt with the GRINCH on it. At first she laughed then she got sad because no one wanted her gift and she didn't want to hold it up for the world to see. The assistant swim coach on about number 40 saw that she was upset and switched gift with her. It made her day.

I have my tree up and that is it. Nothing ahs been put on it Maybe before I go to BUNKO tonight we can at least put the lights on.

Have a good on

I read once that middle of the night anxiety can be a symptom of, pardon my spelling, someone who's hypoglycemic. What ever the opposit of diabetis is.

My mom calls me all the time complaining of this too.

She a diabetic. But sometimes I'm not so sure.

Have a great day!

I forgot, another diser sent to me a pdf file with a template for a chain countdown. It's so cute. 96 links all with numbers and disney characters and disney clipart of all kinds.

Pm me your email address if you want me to send it to you. It's like 6 pages and you just cut out the links.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

Thanks to those of you who have confidence in my basketball coaching abilities! But. I would rather make 1000 quiches than coach basketball! I think my main job will be giving the ole stink eye to the ones who aren't listening to the "real" coach and giving the devotions. That I can handle.

Punkin....How was the concert? The only thing worse than a middle school band concert is and elementary school band concert. I've been to lots of those!

Monica..... on the trip!!!

Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I say do a ticker

Good morning all. Did not move to many pages yesterday. We went to a bonfire last night for DD swim team Christmas party. It was a wonderful 75 degrees when we left.

I'm so jealous, it's in the low 30's here.

The assistant swim coach on about number 40 saw that she was upset and switched gift with her. It made her day.

That's so nice the coach did that for her

I have my tree up and that is it. Nothing ahs been put on it Maybe before I go to BUNKO tonight we can at least put the lights on. Have a good on

We just did our decorating last night. Have fun. Even DD2 got into it. She couldn't get the whole ornament thing but then she did. It was cute.

I read once that middle of the night anxiety can be a symptom of, pardon my spelling, someone who's hypoglycemic. What ever the opposit of diabetis is.

Have a great day!

I've had problems with this. Never at night though. I could be in a store and feel real dizzy or start to shake and then I went to the doctor and he said that my sugar was dropping and I needed to eat something to carry peanut crackers in my purse. They never used that word "hypoglycemic" but I did have an increased insulin level which meant my I want to say liver was not breaking down the "sugar" and then it turned into fat, hence why I gained some excess weight. They put me on a pill for diabetics and I lost like 20 lb without even dieting. Then when I got pregnant with DD I developed gestional diabetes but that went any and my insulin problem did too. I would have the doctor check you're sugar and insulin levels (fasting of course). Actually all of the that insulin stuff my midwife found out because I was having trouble getting pregnant so she did some bloodwork on me and that's what we found out. Sorry so long.

Everyone have a great Tuesday. WW's today.

Good Morning!

Another day at work for me! I am hoping we are a little busier than we've been. It's a slow time of year in the insurance business!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

GOOD MORNING PEEPS!

Only 5 more days. Yikes! I'm not ready. I have so much to do that I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do it.

back Gina! I'll have to check your trip report for an update.

Hello Peeps,

I heard the mouse last night... I was hoping he had moved on but I guess he got cozy and has decided to camp out for the winter. I need to move the trap. Hopefully he will be relocated soon. The dogs won't go downstairs again so I know he is hanging out down there somewhere .

I did really well eating yesterday but by the time 9pm came along I could not motivate myself to go to the gym. It was raining and cold and I just couldn't do it. Just an excuse I know but I just could not leave the comfort my my couch. I will get there tonight though. I have my first meeting with the personal trainer this Saturday. I really hope she will help keep me on track through the holidays.

Francesca, your trip is right around the corner!! How exciting!!

Dawn, I hope the concert wasn't too painful. I am sure there will be lots of those in my near future. My kiddos are still too little.

DisneyObsession, I know what you mean. We are super quiet this week. I think part of it is everyone is in Christmas mode and are thinking about their vacations. I will just take advantage of the down time and hang on DIS

Monica, we will be in WDW the same week We aren't sure where we will be staying yet. I hope to be a DVC owner by then. If not POR is our first choice.

Gina, Welcome home!!! I am looking forward to reading all about your trip.

Danielle, I hope you are feeling better soon. My mom had the same symptoms and it was her thyroid. Once she was on the right dose of meds she had no problems and she was able to lose weight much easier.

Pigget74, 75 degrees... It is cold and rainy here again. I would prefer snow over this mess. So what gift did your DD end up with?

Pakey, I am with you. Diet food doesn't always cut it this time of year. I crave comfort food. My DH made me the carrot ginger soup from BOMA a few weeks ago and I froze the leftovers. It is just calling my name. It is absolutely delicious but far from healthy.

Tia, I hope you are well on your way to recovery. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.

Take care peeps,
Kim

Wow what a beautiful day!! Supposed to be 77 this afternoon. I talked Mr Kat into letting me drive the convertible to work, and came in with the top down.

I have to admit to having skimmed through a bit today... sorry.

Mr Kat and I have been having some marital problems, but I think that perhaps things have taken a turn for the better last night. Both of my bosses are out today. So, I am in a pretty good mood!

Really, I hope to be able to meet up with you if our plans allow it. At least we can share our planning madness. What ages are your kids?

Enjoy the warm weather! I have an old, convertible, Honda Del Sol that I refuse to give up. Some of its cool factor has been lost since I installed the baby seat...

Punkin....How was the concert? The only thing worse than a middle school band concert is and elementary school band concert. I've been to lots of those!

it was okay. not as painful as i thought. it was a choral show too and the singing was way worse than the band. a couple of times i looked at ray and had to literally cover my mouth to keep from being totally rude and laughing out loud. his expressions were cracking me up!

on the way there ray's mom called us and asked if we had a key to her house because josh had forgotten his sheet music. ray didn't have the key so his stepdad had to leave the church (where the concert was) and go back to their house to find it. meanwhile, ray and i arrived at the church and when we got there, i asked josh if someone else had the same sheet music he did. he said yes and then i found someone that worked at the church and they let me borrow the copy machine to make a copy of the music. DUH?!???? sometimes i just don't get his family! common sense, anyone????

Mr Kat and I have been having some marital problems, but I think that perhaps things have taken a turn for the better last night.

sorry to hear this....hope things get better! we all hit bumps in the road. i've been there!

okay....i'm going to vent here just a second to you guys. yesterday i spent an hour on the phone trying to figure out why i'm still paying $53 a month for birth control pills when i should have hit my $500 prescription deductible back in october. i literally had to say to this person, "hold on. are you listening to me? just listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth!!!!" it was like talking to a brick wall....the must frustrating conversation i've ever had. this is just an excerpt:

me: okay. so you're telling me that it's showing i've only spent $82 this year in prescriptions?

her: correct.

me: that's not right. i've spent at least $53 every month on prescription costs.

her: well, it shows here that you haven't gotten your birth control refilled since february.

me: okay. so is my pharmacy not doing something they should be doing in order to let you guys know when i get them filled? because i get them filled every single month.

her: it's only showing that you got them filled in january and february.

me: i understand that. SHOULD my pharmacy have been doing something that they're not to let you know when i get them filled?

her: we only show that you got them filled in january and february.

me: are you kidding me right now? okay....i'm not trying to be rude, but listen to my question. SHOULD MY PHARMACY BE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT THEY'RE NOT DOING TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW I'M GETTING THEM FILLED???????????

her: but i only show that you got them filled in january and february.



seriously.....is this woman for real? anyway, now i'm having to fill out a form for reimbursement so they can pay me back what i've paid over my deductible (about $100) and i had to get a list from my pharmacist of all the medications i've paid for this year.

on top of that my insurance is awful. i think i have like a $4,000 deductible and i pay like $128 a month. the monthly payment's not bad but the coverage is. to get decent coverage i have to pay out the wazoo. what's so frustrating about it is that i NEVER go to the doctor! i go once a year to the gyno and MAYBE once or twice a year for a cold, if that. AND i don't have ANY maternity coverage...none. so no babies for me anytime soon! i'm self-employed so i don't have a choice as far as buying my own, except to go on DH's insurance and the cost of that is ridiculous. it costs the same to put me on his insurance as it would to put five kids on there......how does that make sense????? anyway, i'm just really frustrated about the whole thing right now and i think the whole medical insurance thing is a crock.

vent over. sorry to whine. i'm not usually one to complain but i had to get that off my chest!
