[daisy_77]

Ok, so now I dont have to worry about that job not paying well enough....
They just called back and retracted my job offer.

Here we go again!!! I hate looking for a job!

Later, Love ya

I am sorry that you are going through this difficult time! Prayers and pixie dust coming your way!

 

[daisy_77]

WOW! My DD2 Has Pink EYE!!!!!!!!! We've never had conjunctivitis in our whole lives but she woke up pitifully crying, coughing, barfing, and BURNing hot. I have to call the pediatrician at 8:00. Been on my knees praying for this blonde furnace.

UM, I am so sorry to hear this! Maddie has had PE and it went away pretty fast! I am hoping the same for your little princess!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I'd post a pic, but really have no idea how yet, so I'll figure that out and post it later!

My name is Gayle, I'm 43 and I live in Buffalo, NY. However, I am really a "Jersey Girl" at heart, as I was born & raised in NJ! I have been married 23 years to the man of my dreams and my best friend, Larry. I have identical twin girls, Alison & Jennifer, who are 22 and a DS, Dan, who is almost 20! (Where did the time go?!?) Alison is married to Andrew and and are the parents of my wonderful Grandson Theophilus, (Theo for short!), who is 9 months old and a joy!

I enjoy singing on the church worship team and any other time I can! I love acting (yes, I'm a "Drama Queen") and would like to get involved in community theater someday. I work 32 hrs a week in an Insurance Agents office and the rest of the time take care of my 81 yo Dad. (My own "Waldo"...thanks DisneylandMama for the nickname, it fits!) I also love to lose myself in Nora Roberts & Suzanne Brockmann books! (I love those romance novels!!)

I have recently been "DisneyObsessed" since planning a return trip to "The World"! So happy to have found the DIS and all you wonderful people! I look forward to many happy DISing years ahead of me!

 

[BONITATIME]

Must be my turn
I am 39 , DH is 44 and we live in Tenerife in Spain. This is a small island off the coast of Africa. I have 2 little darlings who are 13 and 14 and are in the joys of teens years. I work with my DH in a hotel nearby looking after clients on their PR team. This has advantges and disadvantages.
We are in the process of moving and it is making me so insane I think I will never be normal again. We were due to complete 3 weeks ago and I have 57ish boxes in my living room waitnig to go to the new house. Our latest date is thursday, I hope that will be ok because I am not sure how we will celebrate xmas if we don't move.
For sure somthing will work out but I am just not clear what
I love Disney and we try to get to Disney Paris 2/3 times a year. We hope to get to WDW next summer all being well. I love DISing scrapbooking and pin trading. In real life I spend as much time with my children as work allows and also love watching soccer.

Oh, Bee. I'm sorry. I really believe everything happens for a reason, though, so here's a prayer that something better is on the horizon.

 

[UtahMama]

((Crickets chirping)) Where is everyone?

My day, by UtahMama:

b- 1 toast with "I cant believe it's a spray-on butter" and cheese
s- 2 little shapes from Cinderella fruit snacks
s- handful of almonds
s- one bite of yet another neighbor gift of chocolate chip cookie
l- did I have lunch? Oh ya! A piece of homemade pizza with chicken and tomato and cheese
d- did I eat dinner? I had to think about it. Another piece of pizza (carb fest!) the pizza was big and very filling at the time but right now I am soooo hungry I'll have to get a protein snack of unknown origin to be able to sleep.

Water- about 50 trips to the bathroom's worth
Vitamin- 2 kids chewables (still out of prenatals)
exercise- replaying THAT 6 min video a kazillion times. I even sweat. My kids are impressed I can do Thriller and Big Butts embarrassed them, which I LIVE for!

Bee- A dozen times I forgot to tell you, your mom was half right! Yes you do have a pretty face, but I just wanted to add that it's pretty no matter what your size is. You are such a "bee"-utiful lady! It was nice to see the face behind the words. I can not see the teeny family picture though. I have bad eyes for tiny things (getting OLD!) OOOps, we're about the same age. It's a good age! Sorry about that job not working out. Is there something you can do from home? I really hope that door opens for you I do daycare because I'd not want to leave my Norah with a sitter. She'd be in time out all day or worse. My boys would be fine, but my princess is a challenge. I actually make lots more doing daycare than when I worked full time. I'm expensive though. I also want to sell these wickless " candles" called Scentsy. I love love love them and know I'd be awesome at that. Plus I'd get out of the house more often. DH works 3-11 pm though so I'm waiting for his shift to change. I'm just buying time to make my move and make the world a better smelling place. Whew- I got Off Topic a smidge (it's the Tylenol PM talking). I am so glad you and everyone else is here has found each other for this painfully difficult never-ending journey. With support and knowledge and humor, we'll make it one teeny step at a time.

Okay time for my bio now that I have caughtup with everyone

My name is Amy (yes dismoms name is Amy and we are married to brothers so we both have the same last name- whats better is we used to be neighbors, we have very tangled lives) I will be celebrating my 29th birthday for the 5th time this friday (34)...married 12 blissful yrs to my fireman DH with 2 sweet boys 8 & 9 yrs old (10mos 3 weeks apart - ds8 was a big surprise and then was preemie by 8 1/2 weeks which is a WHOLE nuther long story) and 3 four legged babies...I have lived in Newnan Ga all my life and graduated college with a degree in Finance, and dont use it at all now, but do have a great job and work with some really funny peoples...my aliases are Taxi cab driver, laundry fairy, clean house fairy and Wonder Woman...I LOVE the beach and am currently experiencing DT's as has been nearly two months since I have had my toes in the sand, love the mountains, love spring and fall, hate being cold, love blue skies sunshine and even rain on a summer day...love disney and all the magic I feel when I am there, wish I could tote that feeling all the time...Love to travel and luv to ride my motorcycle, luv to hear the rumble of a bike as it passes by ...what started out as a way to conquer a fear of motorcycles opened the door and introduced me to something I never thought I would do. I love the looks that I get when people pass me or pull up next to me at a stop, riding is a very empowering feeling for me, and a very freeing sensation! You haven't ridden the A1A thru Fla til you've done it on a bike! Whenever I figure out how to post a pic I will send you a shot of me and my scooter..I love to read (Suzanne Brockmann ROCKS!!!!!!! yee-ah babay - those smart sassy women and those foxy fellas she rights about, am secretly in love with her heros) and I love to scrapbook and I love animals esp my doggies and my favorite smells are cookies baking, sweet baby skin , and warm puppies...and Captain Jack is just cause to need a moment to compose myself whew!

am currently the fattest I have been since I had my oldest boy. for me it takes away from the smallest things like being confident in myself and how I carry myself...I now notice that I am hunching over and wearing big clothes to hide under because I hate my body...I even skip looking at myself in the mirror...I look at my face and I look at my clothes, but I don't see me standing there, that sounds weird i know...struggle with binging, and walking away from the bad stuff...currently fighting a mild depression and trying to muddle thru the holidays - my dad passed away a few yrs ago (3 in march) and I was the biggest daddies girl ever and I miss him most at my birthday so I am needing yous guys to get me thru with laughter, and once again you have not failed me...

Dunno how I'm gonna do this week, 3 parties and bloat and bday blues may hold me from my 5 lb ribbon...but we'll see friday!!

howdy GA girls! just an old sweet song keeps GA on my mind!! loving this warm spell we are having!!!
Summersk - my boys play ball in Lagrange in the summer!!!! we (me and dismom) are about 25-30 min north of you!!! Ellester- we've played in Columbus too! and we luv to ride down 27 to the Harley dealership when we need new chrome! did you go see the lights at Callaways this year?

Night to you wonderful Peeps

 

[S.Poppins]

Sorry, I had to go MIA - crazy busy. Two more Christmas parties to go!!! And I just turned in my last paper and I have a two week break from class - hallelujah!

Evolution of Dance is great! I want to try to find away to download it so I can show it to the youth at our (you will love this) Fabulous All 80's New Years Eve Party!! I am so excited about this. I just received Duran Duran's Greatest Hits from ebay - Christmas present to myself - it is totally awesome!

Food - I had a houseful of youth tonight and tons of junkfood! I did not eat any of the barbeque chips

Tomorrow I committed to drink the darn 8 glasses of water. I will just bring my laptop to the bathroom with me so I can work!

 

[dwheatl]

OK, here's my bio. My name is Danielle, I'm 44, and if DH plays his cards right, we'll have been married 22 years next week. I have 2 kids, Brendan, who's a freshman in college, and Julia, a junior is HS. I was a public librarian for 9 years, then moved to a school librarian position (they are almost nonexistant in our area now; CA seriously underfunds education). After 8 years as a school librarian, my position was cut, and last year was the year from heck. I started w/ a kinder class, which I had been preparing for for the whole previous year. After 4 days, my class was absorbed into the other kinder classes, and I was moved to 3rd grade. The kids were great, but I ended up working 12 hours days almost everyday to keep on top of all the changes I was facing. Thank God my own kids were old enough to be moderately independent, as I rarely saw them.
This year is much better in terms of work. I have a darling kindergarten class and very nice colleagues. It's going well.
The big stress in my life (besides 2 teens) is DH. He is the sweetest, most wonderful guy in the world, but he has a chronic pain problem (surgery that went wrong and caused nerve damage) and this has led to depression. Our ministry for the last 20 years was marriage preparation, but DH is seriously P.O.'ed at the Big Guy, so no ministry now. This leaves a big hole in our lives, and I am going to church alone these days.
Enough therapy for me, now. I just had to unload to my Peeps. I love DISing, reading, my sister has my copy of Pride & Prejudice w/Colin Firth, I love to read, but right now I'm just trying to get through the daily paper (the exercise bike or gym is also my reading time). I like science fictiony shows-currently Dead Like Me, previously Wonderfalls, X Files, always Twilight Zone. I also love dancing (who said wiggling our bottoms? that's dancing for me!) and karaoke. Any chance to embarass my children.
Here's a family picture from our WDW trip last year:

 

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!

Only 5 shopping days left, people....get out there! Well that is exactly what I did yesterday...shopped....ALL DAY! FYI--there are no creepy crawler makers anywhere in central KY. If he wants to make bugs, the little guy will have to settle for Dr. Dredful.

I was on such a mission to finish the shopping when I left that I forgot provisions to sustain me....food and water! I consumed my calories between 2-5pm yesterday. Is shopping exercise? I think it is because I was exhausted last night.

So happy to read all the bios!!! So nice to know you better!

Anne....You are so blessed to have a job that you love that suits your mom-schedule. Anything new on the juvenile fiction list I should read?

Ellen....Hope you get settled in in Columbus and get a house. I admire you for home schooling...I do not have the patience or organizational skills. Don't you love little boys? After two girls, I was not prepared for the experience of having a boy...so busy and so adorable....and they LOVE their mamas.

Bee....I believe Danielle is right. That was not the job for you. I am a total believer that God has a plan for you. When DS was about to turn 3, I started praying for two things....to be able to be more involved in our church and for a part time job with flexible hours so I could be home when the kids got home. After a week or so I literally open the want ads and there it was....a part time job at our church! Now I'll be praying that you are equally blessed.

Amy....must be fun when you and Harley/Amy and the DHs all get together with the kids! You guys are lucky to have great family in the same town.

V.....You are a sophisticated lady. Moving on to the gallery world, huh? Mimi has her first art history class this semester and is loving it! Love the picture of you and Leo.

UM.....Just adore you....funny, sweet, organized, crafty, and gorgeous. Love the turn ons and turns offs...heh. Sweet picture of you and Norah. Hope she is better today.

Misty Spongeworthy....You are a child....31!

Monica....You know I love ya! Exercising crafty britches! Your tree is awesome!

Stephanie....Pharmacutical defense attorney??? I can even spell that! You are awesome and sounds like you set your goals and achieve them. I admire you greatly!

Kelly....Sounds like you are in for some big changes but change can be a very good thing. Again, I believe that God has a plan for you and that your greatest happiness is probably yet to be. I admire your weight loss (90 lbs!) and know that with your love of exercising you can get back to your goal weight in no time. Thanks for being so candid. You and your sweet kids will be in my prayers.

January....Good news! You don't have to stop being 29! Take it from me....I worked it til it was no longer believable....37ish?

Gayle.....Thank goodness for another 40ish DIS peep! So you're loving the grandbaby and I'm going to the kindergarten Christmas party....so funny what different stages we are in. Picture, please? Oh and I love to sing too....loudly and off key in my car! Ask the kids!

Nikki....Moving at Christmas time...and right after vacation no less. I am going to have to Google Earth ya to see where you live. Is English your first language? Cause if not your English is very good!

Harley/Amy....I love it! Degree in finance and loves her Harley! You rock! I love, love all your smells. So sorry about your dad....we'll all still be here in March so feel free to lean on us.

Danielle.....Thank goodness for yet another 40ish peep! I was feeling kinda old there for a while. You are a kindergarten teacher? Having a kindergartener, I hold you in the highest esteem. So sorry about DHs pain issues and that he is mad at the big guy as a result. I attend my couples class alone too. Will be praying for a miracle for him.

Something else you should know about me....I get up REALLY early.....clock said 4:50 this morning. But I go to bed REALLY early. I had been asleep for 3 hours when UM posted the ((crickets chirping)) post last night...

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I think I figured out how to add the pic. Here it is....

This is my DD & I before her wedding on May 27, 2006. My hair, of course, is different now, but the color is similar...just a little longer.

 

[PrincessV]

It's been so fun reading all of our bios and getting to know you all! I think it's so amazing that we come from so many different backgrounds, cultures, religions, etc., yet we find each other here on the DIS and discover how much more we have in common than different.
I maintain if everyone DISed, we really could achieve World Peace!

Now then, time to step up to the plate, so to speak:
I'm still feeling really run down physically, so it appears my auto-immune stuff is acting up again. But I really didn't want to get off course, so I managed 20 minutes on the treadmill last night before crashing for the night. Okay, I did have a couple cookies and a glass of milk before bed. But it's Lean Cuisine city for lunch today!

Bee, I’m so sorry! Hang in there; your dream job may be just around the corner!

summersk – Me, a hero?? Neh, just another mom doing the best she can with the cards I’ve been dealt. I know how incredibly difficult it is to go through a divorce, though, even under the best of circumstances, which mine was not. Keep your chin up and be strong for you and your kiddos! The thing that helped me the most was having a great group of friends to support me. If you need an ear to listen, a cheerleader to keep you going, or a shoulder to cry on, I’m here for ya!

Dwheatl – I knew I knew your DIS name, but just couldn’t place it till you posted your family pic. Yours was one of the first TR’s I read and it was FANTASTIC!!

Happy Wednesday everyone - we can do it!

 

[UtahMama]

I love reading all the bios too! And the pictures are all awesome! Such a purdy group we are!
I got up and took a shower and self-tanned to chase away the blues...not that I'm "down" or depressed, just my pasty whiteness was buggin' so now I'm bronze. So natural for this time of year! Slap a little lip gloss on and viola, instant mood picker upper.
I've alrady consumed 2 glassed of fake crystal lite and one can on diet Hooch to wake up.
I'm actually sore from bustin moves on that Evolution of Dance you tube video! SORE from embarrassing my kids, that cracks me UP!

My weight is thusfar the same! I wonder if I did protein shakes instead of breakfast and dinner if that would budge me a little???

 

[Ellester]

Good morning all! Hoping for a better eating day today. We had our homeschool parkday party yesterday and I just couldn't turn that pizza away! I didn't snack though, so that's a victory for me! We appear to be the House of Snot today, so we'll be staying close to home. DS2 is not used to being congested, each time he has to cough he yells "I'm CHOKING!". It's pretty funny in a gross sort of way!

UM-Loved the video! I'd be making extra visits to the chiropractor if I attempted half the moves in there! Hope Norah is doing better. Rebecca (dd5) and I passed pink eye back and forth for several weeks last year. I get it every time my kids do. I found having them lay down with their eyes closed and then putting the drops on their closed eyelids and then having them open their eyes worked best for us. Otherwise drop application involved wrestling holds and some not very Christian language.

Summersk-Sorry you are going through a rough patch. Sending hugs your way!

Spongmommie-I totally understand about wanting to stay in quarantine. It's hard enough keeping 3 kids healthy, I'm sure it's way more difficult with 5!

Bee - I'm so sorry the job thing is not working out. But I also feel confident something better is around the corner.

As much as I'd like to post all day, I'd better get this house looking a little less condemnable. Have a great day everyone! I'm enjoying learning about all of you!

~Ellen

 

[honeymo78]

Yesterday was a tough one. We had a pizza party and even though the pizza wasn't great I still pigged out a bit and then had some popcorn later in the afternoon. At least I stayed away from the baked goods and drank plenty of water. The scale is still showing a 1lb loss so I'm gonna keep at it with the water and make sure not to go crazy between now and friday morning. I really want that 10lb clippee.

UM - did I miss something here? Prenatal vitamins? Is there another little one on the way? Sorry if I'm being nosy.

My biggest fear when we try to have kids is that I won't be able to get pregnant. I hope that getting myself into shape and finding a healthy weight will help with that. There's no medical reason for me to have this fear but its there nonetheless.

 

[Bee]

Ok our group is getting so large..(in a good way lol)
I am unable to address everyone seperately.

Thank you all for the kind words... makes me feel better. I do believe I will find something.. I just hope it is soon. Thanks for thinking I am purdy.. .. as I stated yesterday.. I have a big problem with that concept. I will tell you when my eldest was a baby I used to look at her and think... she is so beautiful, then I would think.. she looks just like me.. then I would think... how can she be beautiful if she looks just like me?

You are all so supportive. Yes I have looked into working from home.. but, there are sooo many scams.

Anyway, I love all y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the beautiful pictures just keep coming in.. have not seen anyone unattractive yet!!

 

[Bee]

OMG... I missed that also... UtahMama.. got something you want to share?

Imagine the cyber baby shower we could throw????

Tell us,, NOW!!!

Love ya!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Oh NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I have no uterus, thank God.....

You guys would hear the word " @#$%&*!!!!!" from YOUR house!

I just love the prenatal vitamins from Costco. They have some diet support ones I want to try...till then, it's dinosaur chewables. They are my treat of the day, so dinoriffic.



HEY! Where's Sandy and Aries???? Send out the search team!
