MOOvers, Huggers, and Pixie Dusters!

[aldisneygrl]

Thanks, Aliie, I told him he had lots of cyber aunts sending him pixie dust, LOL! Not sure how much faith he has in that, though! So he better keep studying. Man can't fly on pixie dust alone! Or wait, they did in Mary Poppins, didn't they?

No, that was Peter Pan. They flew in Mary Poppins because Mary said so.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

No, that was Peter Pan. They flew in Mary Poppins because Mary said so.

I am a bad, bad cast member!

 

[NAB]

Marita-- for your son and for your stress.

Allie-- For baby Jackson and his family. Ouch on having to do your precedure all over again. What is your son going do with his first paycheck?

We were busy shopping all day. Had to go get Hannah's Brownie uniform. We left and arm , maybe even a leg there too. And said I wish she was a spark they colour is pink , Brownies is orange on top, navy on the bottom.

Then we went to the mall and Nicholas got a great deal on his skater running shoes. They were $99.99 and he got them for 18.99 they only had two pair left and one was his size (12) and the other was a (14) we teased him and said we should by those to for next year.....

 

[pumba]

when we had a brownie troop......we had a uniform exchange for the whole city...maybe you guys should look into that.....actually it was for money too.but you would bring yours in and sell it and then go and buy another one .....

we also did this with our Catholic school uniforms.......way way cheaper

 

[Backstage_Gal]

NAB, a whole day of shopping? My nightmare!

 

[NAB]

I know Marita, I am beat and my feet are sore because I have been wearing sandals all summer and decided to wear my running shoes today, bad idea. My feet have to get used to them again.

I was trying to find a blouse or sweater to match Hannah's Christmas dress this year. It is ivory with a dusty rose sash and rose buds on it. Nicholas needs a suit to for Christmas and the cruise. He wanted us to buy a white linen suit, he tried on the jacket.... He looked like the guy on Miami Vice. He told us if we bought it for him he would even wear it to school he liked it so much.

Pumba-- I wish they had something like that here. If we had it Hannah's way we would have bought a lot of extra stuff like a stuffed owl, and soft doll that has Brownie clothes etc.

 

[celerystalker]

nab - I can picture Nicholas in his white linen suit. hannah's christmas dress sounds beautiful!

bh - glad you found the info.

mom - Yes, he's fine. no more tummy grumbles.

he's been outside several times (like Pumba said - hershey squirts!)
but he's good now.

marita - quit yer stressing!

breadman's watching american gangster, so I have the computer.
I hate it when denzel is a bad guy!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

marita - quit yer stressing!

easy for you to say! But thanks for the hug!

This is the whole reason he joined the AF, so if he does not pass this part, all is for naught! So I reserver the right to stress!

 

[pumba]

cel...make a mixture of ground chicken .....and white rice......put two cups of white rice in microwave with two cups of water.....five minutes and let it sit......cook that one pound of chicken and stir it in the rice and give the dog one cup two or three times a day until his poopies are more solid.....probably something he ate.......ding dong dogs.....

Nab......you can be the starter of the uniform swap.......you have a few months to get people used to it.....those things are to dang expensive to use once and put in a yard sale......i am sure other moms are thinking they are alot too.......you can be the person who invented the thrift uniform swap....

 

[monymony3471]

Baby Jackson is in my prayers.

Marita so is your son. I know he wrote all that to you, but maybe it's just his way of being sarcastic and just releasing some steam before the big test.

I'm sure he'll do fine, I could never get in one of those knowing I had to pilot it if I didn't know what I was doing.




Today started out with me taking Mal to dance class. Then I found out there were try-outs for the Nutcracker Ballet they are doing. Mal wanted to try-out and they were taking 4 year olds to be mice. We had to come back at 1:30.

She tried out and she made it!!!

Then we went to Zack's football game. They played really good as a team today, although they lost, we are seeing some big improvements. They are 0-3.

The whole time in all of these places I have my STACK of flashcard for my Psych exam on Monday. I've had only 2 classes and we are having an exam on Chapters 1-5!

It really warmed up here today, was in the 80's and we all have red faces.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.

 

[celerystalker]

mony - I used a piece of hotel paper to study for my statistics test while I walked riley.
my mom was a witness.
I didn't know the answer to the first question!

we'll see what my score ends up to be.

pumba - no way am I cooking that for him! He's already spoiled beyond belief!
I'll get mamacel to cook it for him on Monday when she watches him again.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

thanks Mony, but he is really stressed! No embellishments.

Yaa for Mal getting the part, that shoudl be really cute, and DS's football team!

Hello all!

Prayers for baby Jackson, Allie! And his family as well.


Marita, sounds like your son is doing all the right things to ensure his success. Send him this:

L...I acutally thought of you at the Rascal Flatts concert because they said they had been "up north" the past few weeks and they were so happy to be back down south where the people actually know how to have a good time. Their words, not mine!! Now I guess you'll be harumphing them, too.

Kindly inform Gary, et al, that they may kiss my rosy red Northern rumpus! Harumph.


I survived yet another day of running around like a crazy person. CCD for one child, then the other, immediately followed by a soccer game 4 towns away (Boris' team won!). After which I was hornswoggled into a last minute play date which began at our usual suppertime and went right up until 7:30. Oh, and did I mention that Natasha woke up DH and me at 5:15 this morning? Oy, what a day!


However, I did manage to get a good deal of housework done, as well as some baking.

Plus, Boris finally made a decision about his birthday plans. He wants to have dinner with 4 friends at Rainforest Cafe and then have a sleepover. Far less torturous and expensive than the big shindig we usually host for the family. Yay!

 

[celerystalker]

big L - boris picked well. rainforest is fun!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Thanks for the pixie dust, Lynt!
I must say, I dont; know if I am more grateful for not having young children or not. i am thinking grown up is better, but not by much. A tad less work (OK, a lot), but you stilll worry! Maybe even more so, since they are out out sight and out of parental control, Even though both my kids are great. ACK!!!!!!!

 

[lalijack]

Yep, Cel. Don't tell, but I like it there too.

BTW, if Riley's uh...digestive issues don't clear up, try giving him some canned pumpkin. About 2 tablespoons mixed in with his regular food should do the trick. Just make sure it's canned pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling. If you can't find it, try either cottage cheese or plain yogurt (same amounts).

Allie-- For baby Jackson and his family. Ouch on having to do your precedure all over again. What is your son going do with his first paycheck?

He is saving half (mainly because that's our rule ) to try and save up for a car. Although, at the rate he is learning to drive he may have the car before he has the "know how" to drive.

Baby Jackson is in my prayers.

Thanks for the prayers, he sure needs them.

Congrats to Mal on becoming a Christmas mouse!

Congrats to Zach and his team for playing together as a team, and making improvements. My son's basketball team NEVER got that last year. We went 0-13! It made for a LOONNGGG Season.

Good luck on your test on Monday!

Glad you had good weather. Remember sunscreen.

Hello all!

Prayers for baby Jackson, Allie! And his family as well.

Thanks for the prayers. I'll update as soon as I know something.

Sorry you had such an early wake up call.

Thanks Mony! There is no OFF button on this parent ride..

Since there is no OFF button, we need the EASY button!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

so sorry pumba, for your recent loss... [ as your
family rallys around ...we'll be wishing for peace of mind..as
everyone struggle with this, terrible lost. ] god bless..for
better days...i jus wish..i have something that could give
you & the family...for comfort & new hope.


...if i may,i like to share....my feelings, over the years. i don't
kno why...we are blessed with lil' angels....for just a short
time...but i kno they touch our hearts..and give some of the most
strongest..feelings....between the 2 worlds, bringing forth
several connections, to our faith and our daily bread.
{ the lil' things..that makes life possible for all us}.

sometimes..i look to the stars....with wonder & awe. then i pause,
how silly our greatest..scientists' boastings. with all this talk,
about the end of the world...how silly?....because the things
we require...to sustain life...will long be gone & there will be
nothing but the spirit left....



..is it funny?..how lil' the "greatest minds"...contradict? nothing X
nothing = zero!..so "the big bang"..produced ..a rabbit out of hat?
me thinks not.

sometimes...i am anger....@ our lack..of not being able to protect
the gift of life. i'm sorry..our medical system..failed...your family.



..* " my hero"?..was a dr. in england. he went insane..trying to get
hi fellow drs., ..to "to hand wash"..before delivering...& after
"working on cadavers." such a simple..but effective measure.

..long time before i was born..my parents..loss..a beautiful,red-haired
son. though..he never made it home, he has always..been a part
of our family. my wife's..brother..suffered worst. their first born
is so severely.."damage"...having no quality of life. [ they had
genetic..testing..& both were negatively for anything..so? it's
not "hard"..to figured..out , human error. ]. . oh? i talked
to my father...about my brother?..my dad stated.."how hard the
..dr....[ general practice ]....worked...to save him." well~ what
did he actual preformed?..."he tried to revived..him by "dunking" him
in cold then warm water. . newborns' needs are defined
by...saving their energy..for life support..and we support them
thru.."saving their heat loss- their lil'noggins." ..see ? good intentions
without..knowledge....application..was a grave loss.

you know ,pumba?..i don't why..nor can i explained..but the brother
..we loss..have been part of lives...all thru life. think..in ways...of a
guardian angel. & the most prized...possession?.....is the old tattled
....prayer..given to her , by a nun. my mother, overheard..the dr...
"we might be able..to save her..but there is no chance for the
"baby.'" yes, pumba..i was that baby. but the real "story"..isn't me..
but all those...sharing/giving their gifts.."for life". especially..the
"young..missy"..that decided....i was fun to live with, so lil'
she knew..what lie..ahead, eh?

...investing in our children....why, oh why..our country...do not
recongize..lil'long..protect...children....will be our undoing. ...wanta
hear..a cute lil'story??? yo do? ..2004..a lil' school..in Indiana,
launched....a "balloon..with all their dreams....want~til guess who
found..it?.. 500 miles & one year later? wt? well, thats
close! now, anytime..i can influence children..with a lil'encouragment,
is ..a fun hobby of mine. what i got back...was a card..with all
their signatures....& dear "me"..."what a surprise to receive your
"treasure box"..one year after we released our
balloons! wow!..we appricate with sincere graditude EVERYTHING
[ i am "friends" with an artist..who created...work of arts, + soap~
box..jerseys + our disney "collection"]..that you sent us. you took
alot of time [now isn't that insightful....for children so young], &
work..[ helping kids , is never work- ]...., to organize &
send all the items you did. you will always be remembered in our
prayers. God bless you ,for all you did for us, sincerely,st. roch
grade 4.

..don't...get the wrong.idea...why i'm called lil'grumpy, ,

& yes.., i'm "the awful bandit"...who stood up to some snotty &

..on our cruise. however, those that called me a "nut-
case"....are the sane?- ones..exhibiting....alot of unstability...so naive
& ignorrance..she posted.....her aggressions...and cover it with???
..calling others..names?! i also..find..it very interesting.."how
easy"..others left..out the truth. fyi, this ..."lady"..attack-yaked
me..& tried to knocked...my cameras- out of my hands. i redirected
her..by "wondering out~loud"..the reflections..she has to endure
any time, looking herself..in the mirrow, ha!..the truth!..can & does
hurt! me?..i try..to spend..as lil'time as possible..with nasty people.
we had an amazing cruise!!!!..with alot of unexpected adventures.

if i may be permitted to suggest,
never..let..those living/making misery..disrupt..your happy place!...
corrective measures & moving on..is the way to go. * note, if
you do a disney cruise..there might be encounters...of those
that can't tell....their "space"...do not include "common grounds."

i read this all the time. iam amazed..their most common response?
was to ignored & gived in. ..@ work...we automatically....answer with
interventions..& a lil' education. next, i am amazed...how many...
"are" not telling the difference between rude/uncouth behaviors....
versus the dangerous kinds.jus this week..this in-same lady..was over
@ epcot.."callin" those taking pictures.."idiots"~~~and expressing it..
she had the right?..to grabbed their camera & throw...it 40 feet
to the ground?! ..while some may..violate..the "no picture rule"...
is not her right/s..to assault &/or destroy..property of
others? ..* these behaviors....are indicative..of a very sick
person...sooner or later...she will find...legal problems. [ actual,
after..i showed..the video..of her attack...the cast member
asked...if i wanted...to press charges. i told him "no'..because
she wasn't sucessful. "idiots"...really..who has that reflection?
clearly!

......do not let.....those with mental health..issues....deter....one
of the best..disney experience....that can be had. i can't even begin
to ..tell all the wonderful memories...that every disney cruise offer.
..oh, it is one's constitution rights..to defend self..when another..
..resort..to physical touchings......nor does it note..."females"
are excluded....* some of our most violent..pts...have taught "us"
..not ot ignore...."intrusive/aggression intentions.

..the hurricane...did alot of damages..here! blew us away!..no
electric ..for days..totaled my son's car. & made our pool a mess!
dang!..is that our pinic table...flying over the neigbor's house?
