Looks like I missed "serious" talk last night!
Cammie - I agree with everyone else - your girls are your live, as well they should be. And if you're looking, you won't find him. Stop looking, live life and he'll pop up out of nowhere. Funny story - I had just gotten out of a 5 year relationship, and I was casually dating a couple of guys. Jeff's dad and my dad worked together and golfed together a couple of times a week so they introduced us - we both got summer jobs out of college at a golf course and we got to know each other. We hung out a bit, I complained about my dates, he had just gotten out of a relationship too. So we'd go out drinking together, just hanging out and became really good friends. One night we were at some sort of festival with people from Jeff's work, and he commented on how the whole festival was a "meat market" judging by the way people were dressed, etc. So a guy with him said, "and look, you've got filet mignon as your date." So what does Jeff say? "Who Kara? She's ground beef!"

I've never let him live that down! But I was so not looking for a serious relationship, but he was right there. Enjoy the time with your girls, it will happen when it happens, and then it will be worth it!
That sucks about the Nov hours nasty posters. I got sucked into one that time where the chick commented that she only stayed in value resorts "when she was poor." Sometimes you can't help but take the bait! I don't understand why people want to be so nasty - especially on a DISNEY board! We should be the happiest message board on earth!!!
Renee - glad to hear you'r getting a bit back to normal. Keep resting though and don't push it or you'll be miserable by Wed!
Jillian - Your hubby is a firefigher/medic isn't he?
Lisa - yeah, I saw the prices for Beaches in Turks and Caicos, which is why I'm sure we'll never go! Ally is just now at a great age to go to a family all inclusive resort. She'd get along great in the kids camps now. Being an only child sucks for her sometimes right about now. But she's very outgoing so she wouldn't be shy at all about meeting new kids in those kids only groups. And it would allow us some time to relax without entertaining her. When we go to Jamaica, we get "sand gravity" we never go on excursions or anyting. Up at sunrise and on the beach, then around 10am (when the bar opens!) we're at the pool for the rest of the day. I go through so many books, but also get to know other people, play pool games, etc. Or I just float, all day long and come back looking like a true Jamaican!
Laura - are y'all okay up there??? This has been a horrible season for tornadoes! Today is the first day of hurricane season, and even though Jacksonville hasn't taken a direct hit since 1964 with a Cat 2 hurricane, we figure that now that we're here, we'll get smacked this year. I will be leading the evacuation though!!!!! No way will I be one of those nut jobs who "rides it out." And even though we're 30 miles from the coast, nope, I still won't be here! A named storm passes within 50 miles of Jacksonville once every 2 years though, so that is a lot of near misses!
Hey, Pam Numero Uno, Pam2, Tessa, Erin, Tammie, Debbie and everyone else out there!
Just saw Ally scratching her head and checked it out right away, sure enought, little creepy crawlies! I can't take much more! She was due for her followup treatment by tomorrow, so I went ahead and did it now. I guess these are the ones that hatched that the eggs weren't killed last week with the treatment. But I combed out about 10 live (well, dead now) bugs. And this treatment just does nothing to get the eggs out. I literally sit with her head in my lap and pull them out by hand - like a couple of monkeys! But this is getting so frustrating. And when I called the school nurse to express my concerns, she said she would send out a letter to all parents at school to check their children. But Ally never brought home a letter. Just more fuel for my fire over this stupid school! Just 2 more days until summer!
Oh, rocket scientist Jeff stepped on a nail yesterday. He screamed and freaked out right away. Shaking an everything - really freaked him out. But do you think he would go get a tetanus shot? Heck no! He was limping around all night last night ("I'm find - it wasn't rusty") and today he's suddenly better. He was breaking down the crate that our aquarium was packed in - we donated it to the nature center here at our neighborhood. Well he kept throwing the board with the nails sticking up, and backed right onto one with his
crocs on. Yeah, crocs don't provide much protection!
It is so flaming hot here right now - Jeff said he thinks God checked the calendar, saw that it was Memorial Day and decided to flip the switch. Upper 80's with high humidity already! Yuck!
And Debbie, I told jeff about your monorail magnet when you first posted that! I think it's hysterical!
