May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 8

[EllaEnchanted]

Me too. Mine are horrible compared to all of yours. Mine are more scrapbookish!

Oh, I'm sure they're not. Put them up here and let us see.

 

[HollyTyler]

Thanks, all the girls are so cute and turn heads everywhere we went in WDW. We really had a wonderful time and lots and lots of laughs.

We just got back from the airport getting Rebecca on a plane back to Oslo....the house seems empty....even with the older generation back.

I am on the phone right now waiting to speak with a doctor for Frank....he is really worring me tonight. He spent the day with Don's brother and he just brought him back to me. His heart rate is 120 and he has had the hiccups since noon today. He has not eaten anything all all since I have been back from WDW. He is very weak.

Poor Frank, please let us know what the doctor says.

 

[Mom323]

Angie I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all for the congratulations.

I am just 4 weeks, so week wise I am cleared to go on the cruise, we are just waiting for the doctor to confirm the pregnancy via u/s (previous heterotopic with my DD and a m/c last month) and give me the green light.

So techically we are still cruising unless I get bad morning sickness. Who wants go go on a cruise while dealing with morning sickness?

I am so looking forward to meeting all of you disers!

Congratualtions!!!. Keeping our fingers crossed that all is well and you can cruise!

 

[luv2cruzsus]

OH YEAH! It takes $500/month off my plate!

That is so great! What a relief!

 

[HollyTyler]

Good news. Now how to get rid of the rest of the bills.......

Oh, yeah! Tyler's teacher told me today that since they have a therapy room in the school, the OT there is working with the school on starting a plan for him for a couple days a week of therapy right at school, so that will eliminate having to pay for clinical OT. That will reduce the financial load even further! The school is trying to move very quickly on this and I'm quite surprised because everybody I know has told me it usually takes a long time for schools to get things in order with this stuff and that I'd be lucky to have services started by the beginning of next school year. They've already added a group session he goes to every Friday at school and are now working on getting OT started.

Oh, I'm sure they're not. Put them up here and let us see.

I'll have to wait until DH gets home because I have no idea how to take pics off the camera! One is just those paint chips in all of our favorite colors with our names on them in a port hole, well a circle made out of construction paper with a blue center. The other thing is like a 12x12 scrapbook page with me and my DH through the years because this is our 10 year anniversary gift to each other. We've actually been married 11 but not when we booked! And I'll have some Disneyland pics in there as well. You guys look like you did everything on the computer, mine is all cut and paste. I got a frame that I wanted to put on there that has a lot of space for people to sign. I wanted to put it on the door but DH wants to let the characters sign it and put a pic of the cruise in it later. What do you guys think?

 

[cquick]

ok I predict the first set of cruise documents will be received on April 16th...now the question is to whom.....?

OK! So does that mean that the GTY people will be out of the lifeboats?

 

[HollyTyler]

MORE good news: I used to be a supervisor at a company that scores educational assessment tests (similar to MEAP in Michigan or WASL in Washington) and that's the only job I've ever had that I absolutely loved. I never dreaded going into work. Loved it! But when I worked there, I only worked nights (6-10pm) because Tyler was only 2 and I wasn't ready for him to be in day care full time. My roommate babysat him Mon & Tues nights and he was at his dad's the other weeknights.

When I was ready to work days, they didn't have any availability for the dayshift, and I needed more hours that the night shift could offer, so I moved on. I keep in touch with a couple fellow supervisors still. One of them e-mailed me, telling me she's now working in HR and asked if I happened to be looking to come back to work for them! Well, my pay then was a little bit less than I make now, but not enough to be a big issue (if they would pay me the same rate), and it would be more hours. I'm 32 hours at my current job (which most employers consider full-time), but this former employer is the traditional 40 hours/week, so more hours, even at the lesser pay would be more pay. So I'm thinking of applying there to try to get back in.

 

[Mom323]

BTW - now that you're driving down - when do you plan to get here?

Holly is driving down? What happened to her fights? I thought a co worker was driving them to the airport?

 

[disneylover5]

How fun for the girls Hope you had a good Easter.




Lisa-great pics of Disney looked like so much fun...I especially loved the underwater one...please do post the camera you used when we got ours we had our hearts set on an underwater one but couldn't find a good one and settled on ours which we overpaid for on our last cruise (didn't have much of a choice we left our camera in the rental car and when we checked to see if anyone turned it to lost and found of course nobody did ).

Not driving, still flying, former co-worker driving us to airport. Long story, but it's all good and I'm not arriving Fri night instead of Sat!

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry he has to go back to the hospital, but it was sure looking like things were headed that way.

Hi Lisa, I Loved all the pics of the girls.......thanks for sharing. I'm so glad you all had such a great time.

I am so very sorry to hear the news about Frank. It would worry me too because it just doesn't sound good. Let us know what the doctor says. In the meantime, we'll keep him and you in our prayers.

 

[cquick]

cute magnet designs!

 

[gydell]

Lisa - sorry about having to go back to the hospital. Hope Frank's ok.

AND FINALLY, STILL MORE GOOD NEWS!

I have a job interview Wednesday at 8pm for a bankruptcy paralegal job! It's part time, in the evenings, and I'm hoping they're flexible enough to allow me to work Wed, Thurs, Fri evening and all day Saturday, so if I get the test scoring job, I can do both jobs for a while, just long enough to get caught up on medical bills and to get money saved to get back to law school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I interviewed with this firm back in December '04 before I got my current job and I really got along well with the people there, but they needed somebody with experience, and at that time, I'd never even worked in AN OFFICE, let alone a law office. At that time, I remember them telling me the night jobs are part-time and that they'd work my schedule around Tyler's schedule with his dad. Hopefully they'll still do the same!

Let the characters sign it and put a pic of the cruise in there. Then get something that you can scrapbook and let all of us sign it. That will work out great. Then you can reuse the door sign for every cruise and you'll have your scrapbook to remember all of us.

It doesn't matter if you use the computer or use your cut and paste abilities, what matters is that you took the time to make something for your door so we can all enjoy it. Thanks for that.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

i would like it also if you don't mind!!

Hey Karl,

With regards to the magnet above:

Do you want the large sized (1050x600) blank one or do you want a personalized version? If you would like it personalized, just let me know what you want on it and I can do that up for you no problem.

That goes for anyone else too.

Again here is the one I did for EllaEnchanted (smaller sized):

. He spent the day with Don's brother and he just brought him back to me. His heart rate is 120 and he has had the hiccups since noon today. He has not eaten anything all all since I have been back from WDW. He is very weak.

I'm sorry to hear about Frank......Did you say he was coming on the cruise? I hope everything works out for the best! Connie

Let's see: a) You loved working there; b) You would make more money; c) you would be full time and qualify for benefits; d) You would be full time and get paid vacations and holidays; and e) you still have friends there. I would say DO IT!!!
