Thanks so much for your well wishes. It means a lot to me.

Ok I snorted some Pepsi into my nose with that laugh.
Oh and for those of you keeping track it was Pepsi MAX. I can assume I will not see that on the ship anythime soon. I can only imagine all the kids hopped up on Max.

He drank some liquid that had silver in it for a long period of time. It dyed his skin and his organs. They will never lose the color. He is BLUE!

We used our dvd like everyday the first week we had it. Now we might use it if we drive to Disneyland but not usually. The wireless headphones are great when there is a ton of kids though I can say that!

The first van had the VCR (under the passenger's seat) so it was only on during Freeway rides. new van dvd can come on any time mom wants peace and quiet and funny it's gets shut off when I want it too....hmmmm mean mom I'm telling ya.

Hey guys, it seems we have all been doing a lot of this lately but if you could send some prayers and pixie dust it would be nice. My cousin's husband (he is 42 with 3 DKs 13 and under) was taken to the hospital in Delaware, Ohio a little earlier with chest pains. They determined that he had a heart attack and has 4 blood clots in his lungs and have sent him on to a bigger hospital in Columbus (Delaware is about 30 miles north of Columbus).

I forgot how county Bartow is...there is still a lot of land yet to be developed and cows everywhere!


AI is on tonight!!
I have to go to the hospital over the lunch hour today. They are rolling out credit card machines in the cafeteria. I am not sure how I will be able to help but I think they feel better if I am there to oversee it.


I still have one issue I need good thoughts and pixie dust on....so please send some my way if you have any to spare. I know it seems as though many of us are in need of some good wishes, so good wishes to all!

For you V....always.....sending you positive prayers, pixie dust, hugs and love.

I bought the cutest bag a while back. I had to find one on ebay but I love it. Here is a link to one like it.

I love this. Don't tell anyone else about it I'm gonna win that auction !!!

 

[nskjerven]

I think so. When the timer went off finally, he started crying that he was hungry and I told him I'd fix dinner while he cleaned up the books and he could eat as soon as they're all put away. It worked and now he's happily eating and I'm trying not to stew. Typing here to calm myself and we'll move on. He has a couple books he wants me to read him after dinner. Good grief, that was unpleasant! I really don't enjoy being around kids.

that my friend is the cry of a tired mama

Oh Carol, that's way too young...sorry and prayers for him and you too.

I have a picture of him in my mind... It was so cute how at the end of our day when we were all in the parking lot that he waved goodbye!!! Such a sweet boy he is. And well behaved. I still can't believe he put up with all the girlie stuff and shopping all day. He deserves lots of pics!!! &

He is funny like that. So shy in the begining and then when we were leaving he was talking about everyone in the car! He did say "they said bye Dominic" like he was happy he got a special good bye. Oh and the well behaved part goes back to the start em young thing. Poor boy has gone shopping since he was a week or two old. He can deal with malls. In the Limited too he did say he wanted to get something. So as long as I buy him something he is fine with it. I bought him a notepad and pen and he was happy to draw while tooling around in the stroller.

Thanks Lisa, a Bethany Beach sunrise would put me in a beautiful and peaceful place.....but I didn't read it until 6:10pm.....I'm 20 pages behind.....long story.....dog stole my glasses for the second time and now I'm wearing contacts but need my reading glasses and can't find them. I'm slow going today.....but it was a beautiful sentiment.

It makes me want to spend a weekend there before cruise.....just to shake the winter blues away. Have you been there since the summer?
