Wish my WDW were free. My payment is due Friday. I've been holding on to my money as long as I can.
DH wants a Bass Pro rewards card! No way! I am seriously considering the Disney one. I pay the bills, so I get to choose!
Lorrie, I am sorry your dad is not doing well.
I DO have a WDW trip planned!!
Nov 19-26 at POP. We are 51 days away, and DD11 asked why we haven't made our countdown calendar yet. We've made them at 100+ days on our past trips. Things have just been kind of crazy. I do need to slow down and enjoy my planning more. It's going to be here and gone before I know it!!
Tina - How fun about the blindfolded makeovers! What a fun party idea. Glad you are having fun w/your AG dolls. Do your girls read the books? They are awesome. Our Barnes and Noble store has an American Girl Club one evening a month, where the girls talk about the books and bring their dolls. My girls don't do it now, but have enjoyed it in the past. Did I miss your WDW trip report?
Kara - Sorry to hear about your F&WF experience w/Ally. Glad to hear MK was better. Refusing Captain Jack?? You should have stepped in, telling him it was your duty as a mother.
Tammie - Great about the extra DVC points, but I do not feel the least bit sorry for your dilemna! What a good problem to have!
It really sounds like you are having a blast!
Laura - Sorry about your knee. I hope that you don't have to have surgery. That stinks.
Cammie - I miss you, too!! (I know you didn't tell ME you miss me, but someone else said they miss you, and I miss you, too!)
Lydia - I was going to ask if you were the girl w/the condoms on your hair that Kara ran into, but I guess not...I am glad that you had fun. Do you do trip reports?
Erin - I know what you mean about the money for school. It's been one fundraiser after another for us, and since I don't want to ask others to buy, I end up buying a lot. All of the teachers at Tay's school are getting peanut brittle from the fundraiser for Christmas! I killed two birds w/one stone. We've also had band expenses (for in band now!), and the marching band expenses are
. Darrin had to take his car for repairs yesterday - $278. It is ALWAYS SOMETHING. Could be worse, could be worse...I keep telling myself! I really do know that it could be. I feel that we are very blessed. I hope that you get over your cold quickly. They are so annoying!
Tessa - Great about the walking job. I think I would love a job like that! As long as the weather is pretty!
We've been fighting w/Megan failing Chemistry. She is such a smart girl, but just doesn't apply herself academically as much as she should. She is fighting a bad cold right now (thankfully no fever), and wants to stay home. I can't let her. I told her she needs to suck it up and go to school. I told her if she were passing Chemistry, I would let her stay home. I feel like a horrible mother, but she cannot afford to miss class. I am struggling with knowing that we might be spreading the germs...I told her yesterday that I may not be able to take her out of school in Nov for WDW. The girls will miss 2 days right before Thanksgiving break.
We are enjoying cool mornings and evenings -- 58F this AM!, but the days are still pretty warm. I am hoping for a cool Halloween. It's on Saturday this year. Whoo, hoo! I need to pull out the decorations and get moving on costumes this weekend. I am behind. Story of my life!
and I only joke because you're okay! But let me just tell you. I don't know what the surgery would entail, but my mom just had a double knee replacement - as much pain as she was in for 2 months, she is so happy now that she's talking about having her hip done next. And she's lost weight because she can actually walk now!!!
Jim was on the couch because his shoulder was hurting. I thought I'd hang out here and try to go get sleepy again, but it's not happening - I have a really busy day, I'd love a little more sleep.
LUCKY!
Have a great evening, all!!
