Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[Camster0307]

Oh lord. I need to lose weight AND get a tan!

Ok - off to the food store to stack up on disgusting-tasting, but low-calorie, food!

 

[Debbie6221]

You guys...I am running around like mad!!! It's been crazy...fun...busy and I love it because it feels like summer out! Hopefully I will catch up soon. I miss you guys and want to hear from Kara and Cammie! I am off to a Daisy Girl Scout Field trip to the YMCA now but things should simmer down!

 

[soontobewed07]

Hi girls at work again. How is everyone?

Cammie and Kara hope u had an amazing trip.

Kara- Love Ally's Pics so cute!

Tammie- The grandbabies are getting so big and they are so darn cute.

I am going to try and catch up tomorrow. Luca is getting his 2 year pics and then it's off to do grocery shopping which I have not done in a month.

 

[DizzyErin]

Off to the girl scout( guides for tessa/Erin) store. Beth is bridging to brownies. Should be fun. Sad but fun. She can't be getingthat old.

Hahaha thanks for the translation

Looving everyone's pics .. For those of you on facebook i will be putting a video on of Cj at her dance show yesterday, in which they came second yayayyayayay and Lorrie when i looked at it this morning i could not believe how my baby has grown up it is sooo scary, she looks beautiful but grown up

 

[CRdisMom]

Okay. I'm changing my hair. It has grown past my shoulders and is stick straight. I've changed the color slightly and that isn't what I want. I'm going to put a wave in it. Being in the pool so much I need something a little more messy. Wish me luck. I'm going against the grain here -straight hair is still popular. I'll post a photo later.

 

[karajeboo]

I'm sure it will look great Laura! Good luck! I've got just a bit of wave in my hair, and as much as it bugs me that I would need to spend a lot of time to straighten it to get that style, I love that I can just blow dry and style with my fingers! Quick style - great for summer especially!

Just a little something.....

 

[Camster0307]

Good luck Laura! I'm sure it will be beautiful. Worse-case scenario - if you don't like the wave, you can always buys a straightener to get rid of it. Change is good though!

Hope all is well with everyone today. Very hot here; hot yesterday. Of course, I went to put on the downstairs AC for the first time and it stopped working after about an hour. I have someone here now working on it. Keep your fingers crossed for me that there is nothing MAJOR going on. That's all I need!

Speaking of expenses - would like your opinion on this: my annual pass expires on June 22nd. The renewal price is $345.06; and obviously the new pass would cover me through June 22, 2010. Right now, the only trip I have planned is our family trip in Dec. - which would require me to buy a 9-day park hopper. The cost of that would be $284 - $61.06 LESS than the renewed AP. Should I just renew my AP then? I would like to think that I'll be taking Lauren back for another trip and would also hope the DISMoms trip becomes a regular thing also. But obviously nothing is definite; if I don't take another trip, I will have wasted the $61. But if I DO take even just one long weekend trip, I come out ahead.

I'm leaning towards yes for the renewal. What do you guys think?

 

[karajeboo]

GET THE RENEWAL!!!!

Just my opinion of course.....

Teaser photo from our trip.....................

Here's a little something Kara picked up at Raglan Road:

Such a hussy!

 

[Camster0307]

GET THE RENEWAL!!!!

Just my opinion of course.....

What do you REALLY think though?

 

[karajeboo]

OMG!!!! My sweetie!!!! Loved that boy! I can't believe you posted my hussie pic!

 

[Debbie6221]

OK Well, my parents are in Naples do I have the kids and the pooch all on my own plus I seem to have a whole bunch of things going on like Field Trips and school special events...
I DO love it! The running around definitely is much more fun when it feels like summer out! Today I just have one or two things going on so I will try and catch up.

Cammie & Kara....sounds like you had so much fun! I really was jealous. I always wish that we could all hang out together! Can't wait for more pix. Cammie...you looked hilarious. I am glad you did it! Kara....loved Ally's pix from swimming too.

Tessa.....join the club right! You sound like me with my hubby. I bite my tongue more than I say anything to him because I feel like he bites his tongue too and doesn't say a lot to me that he could. It does build up though. Night time is hard because Mark and I are more tired than the kids at that time!!!


Renee.....my allergies are killing me and I am pretty sure my kids have allergies as well since we ALL have the same symptoms! Oh well...how are all of you feeling now? BTW DO NOT cancel WDW in November! Just try and get a beach trip in TOO!

Tammie....LOVED the pix you shared! They are so darn cute! It's hard to get mad at those cute little pusses isn't it!


Lydia????She returns after the weekend, right?
Jenn...Hi!


Laura...hope you are feeling better! There is nothing worse than being the Mom and being sick cause no body cares about ya like you care for all of them , right! Oh and I am glad you are growing your hair out. I am such a old fashion girl that I always want people to have long hair. I know, I'm a dork!

Now those of you on this thread with short hair I do think you all look great!!! That is my disclaimer and I mean it but I always think that the shorter your hair is the older it makes you look and I always wondered why people would want to look older??? Now my hair is far from trendy and I am sure people think it is too long but it is VERY easy for me. And of course everyone has different faces and shapes and that plays a big part in your hair. Like if you are small and petite then too much hair probably is too much...am I making sense? I feel like my hair takes away from my oval kind of bigger face and that's why I HATE when my hair is too short. Plus, I have chubbier cheeks and I always feel that hair that cuts at the cheeks accents the cheeks...OK do you guys think I am nuts now?

Jillian...make sure you are taking care of yourself too while you are working and doing so much these days! I hope things have at least calmed down since the company left.


Hi Erin...looking forward to your pix! Glad I can see you guys on facebook as well as here. Facebook can be quick if you are in a hurry which is good don't you think?

 

[Debbie6221]

GET THE RENEWAL!!!!

Just my opinion of course.....

I agree!


And that guy was HOT!

I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach. I want to be at the beach.

I'm just blah. I'm being a brat. I'm invisioning myself pulling a Debbie. I could hide and sleep in the seagrass - couldn't I?

Tomorrow my mom is doing a yard sale. I'm putting in everything that isn't nailed down. BEACH MONEY!

Hey Debbie!

Summer always brings the hair dilemma for me. I had long hair before I had Emmie and one day I felt so HOT and miserable and fat (I gained 63 lbs with her) that I just rolled in(quite literally) to the nearest SuperCuts and said 'Wack it off!'. It actually works great with my hair which is very thick and naturally curly (and a total PITA). It's usually just below my ears but every spring I start thinking I will grow it out so I can put it up again. I think super short cuts are hard to do- some people look amazing with them. I absolutely would not. BUT....maybe some new layers, highlights and a few inches off would make it feel fresher for you? Make sure to post a pic with the fabulous results.

Cammie and Kara - I am so glad you girls posted pics! It looks like an amazing time was had by all. And bonus points on picking up that lovely Irish boy. Meeeow!

Lorrie - how is the homefront today? The troops are quiet here - Chris is telecommuting and Emmie is watching Pooh. Ben actually went to school with little complaint this morning which is always a relief.

Those babies are adorable, Tammie! I love your DGD's little green and white dress!

Well, I am still absorbing the info about Emmie's speech delay and yesterday Ben's PS teacher and I discussed his difficulties at school. He has a really hard time moving to the next activity and participating with the class. Next week he is going to be evaluated for Asperger's. *sigh* I know that can be a easy answer for difficulties integrating into school in some people's eyes but I've just had a gut feeling for a few months. If this information helps us help Ben be a happier guy I will be so grateful. Right now it seems like he spends his life in a state of frustration.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Jenn

Too bad I don't live at the beach or you would already be here!

Good luck with all of this. I always say USE your resources!!! Matthew has been in speech since he was 18 months. It is hard and he still has trouble but at least I feel like I am helping him where I can. As for your son, you as a Mom should trust your gut. More people are in denial and their children miss out on all the resources out there. If it turns out that he just works though it then so be it. I taught kinder a long time and have an elementary ed and an early childhood degree so ask me anything!

 

[Camster0307]

!@#$%&*!@#$%&*

$684 to fix my AC!

FML.

 

[karajeboo]

Jenn - I agree with Debbie. Use what is out there for you!!! Good luck with all of that! Ally was in speech therapy for her "s" and "r" sounds. She was just released this year and still doing great. But I just used the speech therapy at school and they did an amazing job with her.

As for the Irish lad.... hubba hubba!!!! I usually don't go gaga over guys like that but he was so pretty!!!! Then Cammie just HAD to get his pic! It was too funny!
