Girls Only Trip ~ OLD Thread, see link in first post for new one

I vote for the 4 pm Friday show. Thinking low crowds.
But I'll probably go whenever the group decides.

I'm packing for our DL weekend and the rain really is bumming me out!
I am going to pre buy tix for Princess & The Frog for tomorrow afternoon at the DTD movie theaters. Even DH wants to see it - shocker, I know!

 

[lulubelle]

Hmmmm. Where do we stand on the deductible for the car repair??????

Truthfully, I was gonna cave and DH said NO!
She accepted the decision without so much as a whine - no begging or pleading. I think she knows she can persuade me but not Dad. Or maybe she is being grown up and knows that in the real world if you don't have your deductible, you don't get your car fixed. I'm going with the latter scenario.

!

My vote too.

Beth, I do think the issue of going into your private stuff (list or computer, can't recall which) is the big deal here. I would take back one present so she'll at least have some surprise.

How interesting you can't take surprises!

Cristabel, I think I missed why you're getting a second dog when you're having so much trouble with the first one...? Listen to Dr. Amy.

Jen, still in for your b-day.

Rain, rain, go away!

I just realized there is something missing from our schedule. The Billys!!!!!!

If anybody is interested in a group visit to the Billys, here are some options that I came up with after looking at our scheduled activities, keeping in mind that we would want to meet as the previous show ends so we can get in and swoop up the first rows:

Friday--4:00 or 5:15 show
Saturday--5:15 show
Sunday--1:00. 2:30. or 4:00 show

Any thoughts?

Saturday or Sunday works for me !!!!
I know my boyfriend will be happy to see me again !

Phew! I got home about an hour ago. The traffic was SOOOO bad. I didn't bother taking the 57 since it wasn't moving a bit. I took Imperial Highway all the way to the 5 north and it still took forever. After 1 hr 45 minutes of driving I stopped at Ikea for dinner. From there I met my parents in Granada Hills and picked up my little sister and then we headed home. Jingles was so happy to see me! She has changed so much in the past almost three weeks we have had her. No more accidents and she isn't scared if we make loud noises. She's a very happy puppy who was giving me tons of kisses when I got her out of her crate.

I just opened my package from the stocking exchange so I'm going to post pictures on the other thread.

Bye!

Are the teams set now? I didn't see anything about it?

No, not yet. Teams won't be set until the hunt sign-ups end which is the first of January. They will come out something after that.
I only said that because I know there is a group of us who are planning to be more kick back, so I wanted her to know she had that option.

I am going to Disneyland Anaheim Jan 6&7. Still looking for some takers to help me ring in my 4th decade. Anybody in the area want to come for a drink?

I wish I could!

I can do one Beth . I don't know if I'll still be there on that day (might have to cut my trip a little shorter), but I can still make the ressie.

Thanks Katie. I appreciate it. We have a much larger group, and they sort of frown on making reservations for six, they prefer smaller groups. Too bad CC is so small!

 

[mommaU4]

Then I'd put a password on anything you don't want them seeing!

LOL When I said notebook, I literally meant a notebook, like you use in school. Can't put a password on that.
I'm old fashioned. I keep all my lists with pen and paper.

Here's a picture of the cookies I made, plus I made Chex Mix:

YUM!!!

Then, I would probably get a little sneaky myself....

Sneaky I can do.

 

[mommaU4]

As for her not being surprised at christmas, that is her issue. I peeked once and was so bummed at christmas to not have anything be a surprise that I never peeked again so for me it was a good lesson learned, no punishment needed.

Ah, good point.

Cristabel.,...okay, so I am the animal advocate here, but pets really are a luxury and not a right.

I wish you could talk to my kids!! The girls want a dog so badly. Aside from the fact that we are renters and cannot have one here, I keep telling them it's not enough to be able to have the money to buy the dog, you have to have the money and time to care for it properly.
Noelle wants to be a vet and says she's going to grow up and buy a big farm for all the rescue dogs she takes home. I said, fine, better you than me. I cannot afford it!! They just think I am being mean......

Ok so here is the best one without her crying.
I call this the shocked look.

Awwww, LOVE it.

 

[mommaU4]

And I have heart burn right now... From eating a chocolate chip cookie! I know. Bizarre. This is only the second time I've gotten heart burn in my whole life!

The worst heartburn I ever had was during my pregnancies. I popped TUMS like candy.

I think after you make her feel bad she will get enough punishment from her own conscience. Good luck.

I talked to her about it and said how disappointed in her I was. She started crying. Oops. Guess I got my point across. lol

Also, if you still need someone to call for Carnation Cafe I can do it since the 26th is a Saturday and I am off that day.

Thanks Sarah. So now I've got you and Katie. We should be good to go. I will send out a PM to all the volunteers once the time gets closer.

 

[mommaU4]

Drive by hi!

Have a great weekend!

And you have fun on your cruise!!!

I just realized there is something missing from our schedule. The Billys!!!!!!

Okay Tina. Make it happen. I'm good with whatever. Just let me know and I'll update the schedule.

And then, of course, it's lunch (and perhaps a little shopping) with Amy & Beth on Sunday!

Can't wait to see you both!

 

[mommaU4]

Okay, I am all caught up and exhausted. I spent all day long in the kitchen. I baked the entire time. But it was fun and I had some nice gifts to give out to neighbors when I was done.

Tomorrow I have some errands to run, then I think we are spending the day out at a Christmas festival in the area.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Them's fightin' words!

I'll wait to see what the group says, and we'll pick a time that works for the most people.

My dh and son and I went to a gingerbread house decorating event tonight. It was put on by the local parks and rec. I signed us up and paid a small fee and when we showed up tonight they had the gingerbread houses all ready built so all we had to do was decorate them. They provided all the candy and did all the clean up. They also provided cookies and hot cocoa and the like though I refrained from partaking in that. It was a lot of fun and our creation came out quite well. I will try to post a pic when I get a chance. Later divas!

Sarah

Oh, and I am up for a billy show whenever!

[kelmac284]

Good morning!

Beth sounds like you were quite productive yesterday. I KNOW your friends and neighbors are going to LOVE all your goodies! Wish I lived near you!! Although maybe it's for the best cuz I SURE don't need any more sweets! UGH. Sometimes I think I am NEVER going to regain my willpower and start losing again. Ah but the first of the year is coming and back on the horse I will go!

Cristabel good luck on whatever you decide on the pooch. We have one dog and the family would like to get another but since I am the one that is responsible (or at least USED to be) for all the bills I know how EXPENSIVE pets can be. We spend a LOT of money on food and heart worm and fle stuff plus the yearly vaccinations for our dog and cat and to me another pet is just not in the budget. But only YOU know what is best for your family so good luck on whatever you guys decide!

Yesterday I went in to work and it was kind of stressful cuz as I said we didn't get that check and then mom never called to check in like she said she would so I didn't really know what I could or couldn't pay. I am SO glad she is going to be back tomorrow. And HOPEFULLY that comission will be there on Monday too! But anyway then I picked up the girls and they had a gift card to walmart that was burning a hole in their pocket. Katy wanted to get a nutcracker CD with her half and Shelby LOVES stuffed animals and had already determined she wanted a littlest pet shop. They have these stuffies now that you can go online and have little games and stuff. So she got that but they didn't have the cd for katy so she took FOREVER trying to decide what she wanted BUT she finally found some cute little mini animals and was able to get 4 since they were like 2 bucks each. They were both really happy with what they got and then we drove out to folsom to have lunch and go see the movie but my mom FINALLY called and I guess she had talked to Shane about everything that was going on and then he got mad at ME for something SHE said and it just kind of ruined the rest of my day. My mom said just to go ahead and go to the movies but I am NOT like that. Once I get upset I can't just turn stuff off and I KNEW I would not be able to concentrate on the movie. So I told the girls I was sorry but we would have to see it another day. We just came home and ended up watching some dvds. Things were going SO well but with shane insisiting on making things "legal" it has me really worried about what it is going to do to ME and I called our ins rep and she said if he does that I WILL lose my medical and then when my mom called him he got really mad and said now he has to re-think things and I am just so angry and upset now about everything. I told him last night that I cannot walk around on eggshellf and have every little thing that goes wrong make him have to "re-think" our situation. I told him I would NOT live like that with HIM having ALL the control over the relationship, money etc etc. So I don't know where we go from here. I REALLY just want us to find a way to get along for the sake of the girls but he is just being ridiculous and as I said I REALLY think he is letting his friends talk him into crap. I am extremely angry about this too because they have NO idea the real truth about shane either or what they are doing to me and our girls.

Anyway nuff said about that. I have to take Katy to her soccer game because he is working today and I really hate going out in the storm and I didn't go to the game last week cuz we were fighting so I don't even know where it is! But I will figure it out I am sure. Then I don't know if I will feel up to taking them to the movie tonight after the game or not.

We were SUPPOSED to go to this gingerbread making thing at church tomorrow after service but I am pretty upset right now and don't know if I can be around people. I am pretty emotional and not up for much right now.

Anyway sorry to be such a downer I am just really at a loss as to what to do and my head is just spinning! Like I said I will just be glad when my parents are back and I can talk to them and a lawyer!

Hope everyone has a good day and weekend and talk soon!

 

[DangerMouse]

Them's fightin' words!

I'll back you up, sister!

I'm good with seeing "our" boyfriend anytime! Whatever fits in the schedule!

Truthfully, I was gonna cave and DH said NO!
She accepted the decision without so much as a whine - no begging or pleading. I think she knows she can persuade me but not Dad. Or maybe she is being grown up and knows that in the real world if you don't have your deductible, you don't get your car fixed. I'm going with the latter scenario.

You're a good mommy & I think it's only natural to want to help your child if they need it.

But I guess your husband is right & it's good to let our kids try to handle their own problems (but I probably would have caved ).

 

[MamaKate]

Good morning ladies!! It's cold and rainy in these parts!!

My son's football team won their championship game last night. He is very happy (and I'm happy he's happy)!!!

I didn't actually go to the game since it was a little far away & it was raining. I didn't want to have the baby out in the cold & rain. But I did get to watch it on TV. It was televised on Fox Sports .

Now, I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for the championship ring . I think I'm going sell some stuff on Ebay .

Hope you all have a great day!

Drive-by posting!!

Hi everyone! Having a blast with the girl (Kelly) at WDW, but wanted to stop & say hello.

How do I join a team for the scavenger hunt?

My thoughts are with those of you having a hard time.
