POP'ers who have bonded - (new home!)

[scrappinmom]

MOrning all -

PJ - that's too bad...but I completely understand about the move, the car, the summer camp! As for school...I'd let the old bitty have a stroke & take him if you could! Something I've learned the hard way, as you have too ...is you just never know....now I'm not willing to go into mega debt to take a trip...but if there's anyway to swing it - I'm all over it! Hopefully you & dw can figure something out for sooner than Aug 09.

Timmy - I got my cd yesterday too!!!!! Wasn't home to jump online - but the girls & I have already listened to Hallowishes & BooToYou a few times!!! I think I finally managed to unimpress Casey! hahahah she's 13 ya know....& she said yesterday "Mom, it's March, do you relaly need to listen to Halloween music" hhahahahahahah - yep I do! THANK YOU SO MUCH TIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My WDW music collection is now complete

Rebecca - How's the rash? You might have had a reaction just to the whatever agent they used to sterlize the area where the iv was inserted. I hope it goes away. I know those subtle "reminders" really s*ck.

I'm kinda in a frenzy....I only have 12 days before we leave for Florida! YIKES..I know I know...poor me...But it's been so dang cold we have no spring/summerish clothes even out! I need to get my butt in gear. Grace & Casey both need new shorts too. I think I'm gonna run to JC Penney & Sears today...they usually have clothes for Grace.

Anyone's little girl a size 8? I have about 6 or 8 lands end cotton dresses....I'm sure I've shrunk them some to...but Grace barely wore them. Since I can't stand ebay anymore - they take too much of my money....I was going to just send them to whoever could use them....anyone?


Today Casey has a band concert in Elgin.....& I have to go shopping & get some form of groceries in the house.....

DD's a 4 in dresses, so if you find any of those, we'd love them. But it'll be a while till she's an 8.

I wish! You'll be there over our anniversary!

 

[Patsfan7]

Timmy!!!!! Thank you so much for the CD!!!! It was a total surprise! I got it yesterday.

CAT, there is a problem with that saying.... as you know I want ya, and I want to be ya! LOL!!!!

PJ-sorry about that trip, but like others said, there may be an amazing like 4 day deal that comes out that you grab hold of!!!!

Chris-my daughter falls somewhere between a 6X and an 8!!!! If you want, I can paypal you! Then.... I could send them off to Rebecca!!! You know who else may have use for them too is Jen (julsmom)!!! She is lots closer to you, so the postage would be more reasonable for you.

Rebecca-I am so sorry that you have a rash, and that you had to go through that entire process. I will myspace you later, maybe tomorrow. I know 'what' you are going through, but I didn't have to go through that whole process. Hope you are feeling well physically other than the rash.


Hey, everyone that is going in September.... our ADR dates are quickly approaching!!! Is everyone ready??? I AM SO NOT!!! Usually by this time, I have all the parks on which days all set, so that I can make my ADR's accordingly!!!! UGH!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We got to go out without the kids last night. It was only okay. We've been getting out alot lately, and this time the band that we went to go see was only okay.

I want to try to come up with a QOTD.....hmmmmm.....ok, how about this... when you pack for Disney... do you bring your cute clothes or your hanging around comfy clothes????

 

[Msslaydbug]

I know - I don't even think we have our official dates for Sept yet ! Agghhh ! I don't even remember the exact dates I booked anymore !

I really need to figure this out so I can get the ADR's I want.

QOTD : I usually bring my hang out and be comfy clothes. Anything that will keep me cool in the hot sticky sweaty weather !

 

[ANTSS2001]

QOTD.....hmmmmm.....ok, how about this... when you pack for Disney... do you bring your cute clothes or your hanging around comfy clothes????

last year i did not eve unpack... so they are wdw clothes.... hahhaaa most likely the same for this year.... whatever I bring on my 1st trip for the year will have to be it for the last trip...lol

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Hmmmm....these past few years it has been my comfy clothes, but I am determined to get out of that rut by November. I am making an honest attempt to start losing this weight. I know we are not having any more kids, so no need to keep the pregnancy bod anymore Thank goodness Spring is around the corner, so those walks to the park will help ALOT!!

 

[mrFDNY]

I want to try to come up with a QOTD.....hmmmmm.....ok, how about this... when you pack for Disney... do you bring your cute clothes or your hanging around comfy clothes????

I bring t-shirts and shorts, unless of course it will be cold. Then its jogging pants and sweaters. I guess since i'm in a uniform that is really not made for confort, i wear comfy clothes when off duty. I have a lot of Nike sport pants, as a matter of fact i think i only own 1 pair of blue jeans.


What's up gang??

 

[scrappinmom]

Happy Monday everyone - blah....I so hate Mondays....getting my kiddos up & off to school is just torture! Especially Grace....& it feels like the laundry machine is just sitting there laughing at me...."hee yea you thought you'd avoid me all weekend, well now sister it's me & you for the DAY!" -

Colleen - no paypaling....necessary...I will send them off to you this week. (I have a few things to mail anyway)....I'm sure by the time you go in Sept I will need SOMETHING! & As for Jen, I think her dd is way taller than mine, so they'd probably be too short....besides, she's been mia for so long, I'm not sure she'd even answer a PM if I sent it

QOTD: Well, I usually start out cute, but always have a couple of comfy standby's that I seem to resort to!

Yesterday was quite a productive day....I went to Sears & they had their skorts/tees on sale, I spent nearly $400 buying Grace new spring clothes/shoes. The only deviation was a really cute raincoat! It's Lands End, tyedye (think POP cheesecake colors)....& we bought the boots & hat too! Now of course you know that means it's not going to rain this spring !

Sometime this week I need to take Casey, although she hasn't grown out of everything like Grace had......& for her, I'll take $400, & she'll get a wholel ot LESS than Grace.

Then I have to find my rubbermaid container that has my shorts in it! I organized the basement so well, I hope I can find it

Only 3 more PTO meetings until I am DONE DONE DONE being president!!!! 4 years is just too dang long. Of course, no one has exactly thrown their hat into the ring just yet.....but it's in the bylaws that you can only serve 2 consecutive terms...so I'm out

Did I tell you guys that I've been doing that Simply Homemade freezer meal thing? Well I've done it for 2 months now & made 24 dinners there. I think it's helped us a whole lot. My grocery bill has gone down significantly, we eat here a home 5 days a week. I ususally use a meal 3x a week or so...the other 2 I'm not cranky & wondering what to make when I only have to "think" about dinner a couple of times a week....does that make sense? The food has been really good too.

ok, off to wake up Grumpy............I mean Gracie

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Hi guys!

On Friday I was in an accident. And it was my fault! I was on my phone, the light turned green and I looked down and stepped on the gas and hit the people in front of me. They were on vacation, so I'm sure I ruined it. The damage to my car wasn't too bad, but I completely dented in a side of their car bumper. Here is a pic. I have another of my license plate, so if anyone wants to see it send me a PM.

This is AWESOME to know!! We have 3 different places that opened up around the corner and we've been wondering about whether or not they pay off in the long run! Thanks!

Oh no Nicole!! That totally stinks

so sorry Nicole..

 

[scrappinmom]

Oh no Nicole! That stinks. I'm a big multitasker...& probably spend more than half of my time in the car on the phone.....even though I know I shouldn't.....Hope everyone is ok..& you didn't ruin their vacation...you just gave them something to talk about!!!!

 

[Nanu57v]

I try to bring my cute clothes, but I'm always in a comfort thing, so they are cute and comfy. BUT, I've had a few trips where I ran out of cute clothes and had to go out ugly. Of course that's when we have the pics of me in red capris and lime green race shirt.

We don't have a place like that here, but I'm in a meal exchange with my MOPS (moms) group. We each make 5 freezer meals a month and then swap, so we go home with 5 different meals. Its really nice for when I don't feel like cooking. I just hate how I have to guess in advance when I don't feel like cooking so I can get them out to thaw.

Aww, Nicole...that stinks. Accidents happen. I'm sure you probably won't do the same thing again. Try not to get too upset about it...you are probably more upset than them. One time DH and I were at a car show. I put DD down and she started running toward the parking lot aisle, and a car was coming. I let go of the car door and went to grab DD. At the same time the car door swung from gravity and dings the car next to us. New Mustang. The husband was really angry, and I kept apologizing. But there was nothing I could do. It was just a ding. The wife was sticking up for me. You could tell if I wasn't a girl he would've decked me. I felt really bad about it and it ruined my day. But its just a car. Can't stay perfect forever.
