Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 3

[mandymommy4]

Morning!

DS was a turkey as I tried to leave him this morning and he was running from 4 adults who had to physically restrain him to keep him from running after me into the parking lot. Kinda of traumatizing for us both. I felt like a horrible mom

Sheli Hey Hey! Yay for having a computer tonight!

I cant believe your DH might be going even farther away! Crazy! We will have to chat about it later!

OK gotta go DH took the day off and I have got to take advantage and move to get things done! We are going to the mall to get him some new shoes.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Good Morning!!!!

SOX WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll see you in Tampa tomorrow!!!

I have to get DS to the bus but I was so excited this AM!!

 

[Lives4Disney]

Hey all! Morning!!! Jojo finally FINALLY went to school today. She wanted to bring a note that said I would come get her if she felt icky. SHe said sometimes if you don't have a fever they don't let you call your mom!!!!

I have to see if this works.... & go back and read and catch up! See ya in a bit.

Hi, all!!

Cheer up, Vanessa. I hope it all works out. These are crazy days.

Kristin! LOL...I thought of YOU and DAWN this morning when I heard about the Sox AND the Cubs!! I bet she has a happy household, too. Are you guys going to the game?? How exciting, though. I am not even a mega sports person, but your enthusiasm is rubbing off.

Mandy, that is funny about DS. I am glad it wasn't the tattle tailing thing. Oops on the Spongebob book.....but I have huge SpongeBob fans here, too. Conner will learn the ropes.

Hey, Deb!

Hey Dawn! I have to go back and read about some naked kid on a bike.

Sheli! Hi!! Wow...crazy about moving again. I think you're right...even though you aren't a fan of Maine...letting the kids be in a stable environment is best. I hope that whole thing works out. Oh....ya...you'lll be planning your cruise soon enough.

Hey, Kelly! I was soo on the computer all day between running around I was burned out of it. Belive it or not. I was sick of it and my old achy numb shoulder pain was back from typing so much.

LOL..did you notice my new siggie pic? The BAT is shadowing me!!! Thought it was appropriate and for Halloween and all.

Got to get walking! Not talking!

TTFN,
Chan

Mandy: don't feel like a bad Mom, you're a great Mom! I hope he has a better day today! Have fun shopping!

Sheli: I hope things get better for you!

Channing: That is horrible to not let them leave if they have no fever! You can be ill without a fever!

Vanessa: Good luck on your airfare!

I start Grad school today, so I should be excited about that but I just feel blah! Yesterday I stayed home from work because I couldn't keep my eyes open I was so tired. I feel the same today, and everything hurts. I am at work, though, because I have a stupid report I have to fax in, but I am waiting waiting waiting for the state to send me the info to finish it...

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Feel better soon!

 

[princessesrule4]

Hey Everyone!

Chan - Glad JoJo is feeling better! That annoys me about teachers not letting them call home ,go to the bathroom, etc!! Take into consideration that the kid was just sick, for goodness sake!! Mine went back today too and I told her if she felt sick to go to the rest room right away. She said sometimes that her teacher will tell them no about going to the bathroom!! I told her if she said no that DD could stand there and get sick all over the teacher's shoes!! Of course, DD would never do that so I told her just to run to the bathroom saying it was an emergency no matter what the teacher said - end of story!!

Sheli - Hope everything works out with DH's job and he gets to go somewhere closer instead of farther away!

Dawn - Sorry about your finger! Ouch!

Mandy - My DS would cry so hard for the first few of preschool when he first started going. I would feel like a terrible mom! But the teacher would call me and let me know that he was fine after about 5 - 10 minutes. Everyday, it would take less time for him to adjust and then a week or so later he was fine! Hope he has a good day today! Try not to worry - I bet he is having a good time!

WEndy!! I KNOW!~!! Especially in middle school!! They treat all the kids like little criminals. They are WICKED MEAN about going to the bathroom. I don't understand that at all. Ya gotta go ya gotta go. Sometimes there is no waiting. I couldn't believe Jo was worried about them not letting her go home. She is coughing horribly and she doesn't have an appetite and she might just be weak. I picked up her homework and she had a lot. We did maybe 1/2 last night so she won't fall too far behind, but I wanted her to TRY and go today just because this would be day 4 missing.....and you know what's around the corner for us, LOL My conscience is bugging me about them missing more for WDW trippie. But that's not stopping me checking air to extend our stay. I hope your DD is feeling better! (and no tossing her cookies on the teachers shoes That sounds like something I'd say to LUcy and she'd be HORRIFIED I'd even suggest it...but a teacher like that would have it coming! )

Deb, have fun running errands!!! Gotta keep that household running. Mine was coming unglued yesterday. LOL....I was living in the car and in between that on the computer. My bad.

Dawn!! OMG>>>> how did I miss your post?!?!? I hope your finger is better today!! oh I hate that awful pulsating pain feeling.....been there. Feel better. THAT is creepy about that kid.....weirdos everywhere huh? Even in high and mighty........(where you live) LOL. My good friend is a librarian (OK..not a REAL ONE I don't htink I could be friends with a real one) but she is in charge of kids programs at a library in a chichi foo foo town and she said...there are wack jobs all over the place but they like to keep it on the down low and make their town out to be so perfect. Hide the creepies.

Amy!! I hope you feel better soon! I was just thinking about your upcoming wedding....any news? Anything new with the plans?? It will be here SOON....the Chrstmas stuff is already out in some stores. UNREAL.

OK....off to do more stuff....

TTFN,
Chan

Holy crow Batman!!! (Chan- this is what your new picture is reminding me of )

I just checked SW (like always) and the wannagetaway fares for my dates are back up to $159 again. I am SO glad I got my credit when I did. I was being greedy hoping they would come down to $83 from $89 so I can pad my credit for next year!

I am off... DH has decided that he HAS to have a White Sox 2008 AL Central Champs hat before soccer tonight (and who am I to refuse to go shopping )

TTFN!

Hello All

Anyone use a trunk to ship their stuff on vacation or do you use cardboard boxes or something?

You can also hear it from as far away as the fort wilderness cabins..it is the scariest crow you will ever here...brrrrrrr.

speaking of the cabins;
last night i found a videotape from 2002 or so and on it was our trip to Disney. how much fun to hear the kids (we only had half as many back then) with thier baby voices.

We stayed at all -stars for one night and there is video of us in the courtyard of Andy's room. I can remember being there but the funny part is i didn't even know who woody and buzz were back then. When my youngest saw Buzz on tv he was so excited! Now I ...i mean he wants to go there.

The other part of the tape was our stay at the cabins where it rained every single day from noon to night..bad week to be stuck in the cabins...
Now I

 

[mickeynut1]

Chan......you cracked me up with "I couldn't be friends with a REAL librarian" . "Hide the creepies".....that one got me rolling too . Can you believe that kid???? Riding a bike NAKED down the street . I'm sorry Jojo didn't make it at school and is back home sick . Poor thing....I hope she starts feeling better very soon....that trip of yours is right around the corner . And WTG on the SWA credit . When does SWA usually have their summer fares out??? I can't wait to start watching for our July trip . Next summer seems so far away but it really isn't . You mentioned Christmas stuff........I was in Target the other day and they had a TON of Christmas stuff out .....IT'S NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN YET....October JUST STARTED !!!


Kristin.....Any luck finding DH a hat ? And YAY to you too for the airfare credit ....gotta love that for your June trip .


I better go get something done around here .


Deb

 

[tinklvr64]

LMAO...YES its true about the kid riding home nakey as a jaybird on his bike...OMG!!! It was the talk of the neighborhood/school

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Alas, no hat for me Apprantly even the stores around here are run by cub fans too since that is all you see

(Of course I kid, it is just too soon this far from the actual city to have them yet. They said hopefully late tomorrow or Thursday.)

Sorry JoJo is home , but at least she could get some homework, right?

Dawn- I can't believe I forgot this till now- OUCH!!!! I hope your finger is better today!! DH almost lost his finger to the lid from an opened can a few years ago (I am now the proud owner of the Pampered Chef smooth lid opener after that ) I remember the blood all too well Keep it clean!!!

Hi to everyone else that I am missing

Hey Deb....LOL...I laughed my butt off when she told me she got a job at the library.....but it's been over 10 yrs and she is still fun and she added fun to the library. They needed her. I have had bad experiences with librarians. YMMV

Well....I really should make dinner. ONe more for the road...YMMV!

You know what they say....USE IT OR LOSE IT.....YMMV!

Ya learn something new every day on the DIS.

OK...you're batting a thousand today making me laugh, Chan . How did you come across YMMV??? I went to the Dis abbreviations cuz I never heard that before . I'm cracking up so hard I can hardly see to type....pretty soon DH is gonna hear me laughing and wonder what in the world I'm doing . But he may be too into the Cubs game. We're not really baseball fans but he's watching it.....all I can hear is "You suck"......."get him outta there" (sorry to any Cubs fans out there.......not meaning anything by it, honest ). He just said..."look....swung and missed...you suck" . Between the middle schooler riding his bike naked .....Chan learning new abbreviations , and my DH swearing at the tv , I'm having a good time tonight .
