do you think we'll even make 98 tonight?

I think we can if we TRY REALLY REALLY HARD!!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

we had our tornado drill today... that siren is LOUD!!

and did you know that is is literally RIGHT behind our house??

It goes off every Wed at noon.

Oh boy that would SUCK!!!

Unless of course if you really needed it.

but now with having to get the heater fixed I don't know if we're still going to splurge on them.

we went and looked at new beds for the kids... holy cow!!! furniture is EXPENSIVE and I guess I'm cheap!

$500 for a kids bed! OUCH!

That is why I bought a used one for DD and just refinished it myself. We still had to pay and arm and a leg for the mattress set.

It has gone off once for a real emergency.. at 4am!

And the tornado was spotted about 150 miles from us.. but they move fast so they had to turn them all on.

what is that one???

The Disney Only Exchange is when you send ONLY DISNEY stuff!!

it's my favorite one b/c I am a Disney nut, like the rest of us.

I've gotten post-its, antenna toppers, playing cards, stickers, cups, paper, pens, etc, etc, etc....

If you like the exchanges this is the best one, in my opinion

Maybe you can find a nice used set. Check out craigslist, the newspaper or even Thrift stores.

That is not how I want to be woke up. At least with Hurricane we can prepare and sit and wait and wait and wait for them to hit.

Oh boy - G is the next to go. Is he excited?

Oh, he is soooo excited!! He makes me pack his lunch right now just like the other kids.

I keep telling him that kindergarten here is only half the day and it doesn't include lunch time.

He is convinced that the will get to eat lunch next year in the cafeteria!

I've never been there and I'm going to have to check it out.

That is too cute.

I hope you find something.

Just remember it can be striped and painted or stained. And most of the older stuff is better built than the new stuff.

Brandon is still having bad days at school.

He comes home telling me all these things he liked about it, but every morning he doesn't want to go, and he cries in his classroom.

They put my cell phone number down at his seat and they are letting him call be once in the morning and once in the afternoon if he feels sad.

He called within 10 minutes of me getting home. Of course, it took us 45 minutes to get him to walk into his room. And then I stayed about an hour after that in there with him.

It is just breaking my heart, but I know he needs this. He wants it, but it really is the only time he has been away from his family. He has never even been with a babysitter. Either mom/dad/grandma/grandpa/brothers/sisters.

I know it's probably ten times harder on you watching him go through this than it is on him. Hopefully each day will get a little easier for him.

We are back from the dentist. A.J. did so well!!!! I can remember the days when it took three of us to hold him down!

He has a loose front tooth on the bottom so the dentist is going to check with the orthodontist to find out his opinion about securing the tooth in place. Because of his Down Syndrome his teeth are misshapen and have short roots so it wouldn't take a while lot for the tooth to fall out.

He also has a small cavity in each of his permanent molars. His first cavities! So the dentist recommended that she do the fillings in the hospital under anesthesia. So since we're going that route she's going to coordinate to have two of his wisdom teeth pulled and one "odd" molar. (He has an extra.) So it looks like we're looking at out-patient "surgery" in June. I'm sure he'll do fine but I'm not looking forward to any of it!

A.J. and I got pan pizzas from Pizza Hut on the way home from the dentist so I'm chowing down while dissing! Oh, it's so good!
