Something About Nothing #3..........

[RVGal]

Haha, no. It was about some guy who went to Disney three weeks ago and came back to the room and found his wife in bed with the lifeguard. She told him to come back in 20 minutes. Now, three weeks later he's got a divorce and full custody of his child.

At Disney? NOoooooo!

A divorce in 3 weeks? I've never heard of one going that quickly... especially with child custody involved. I had no kids and we worked out the arrangements and division of property between ourselves and it still took months.

 

[RVGal]

Our eggs are colored. The boys have had a bath and *most* of the egg colors have been removed from them.

Joshua asked me again this evening when Easter is. I told him the day after tomorrow. He said, "So tomorrow is Easter Eve?"

Well, yeah... I guess...

Exactly. That's why the thread was obviously just a joke and eventually locked because people were having too much fun with it.

Aw. Easter Eve. I miss those good old days. My daughter and BF painted her bedroom today. That was all the painting we had going on.

Hi again!! We're HEEERE! Unfortunately, I wish I could say that "here" was Boston, but it's not.

We are back home in Green Bay. On the plus side, we did make it home. The driving (what a surprise!) was terrible. They're now saying up to 18 inches in some parts of Milwaukee, up to 15 inches in much of it. Took about two hours to do the normal first hour north, then it pretty much cleared for the last hour. No snow here (new at least!).

On the minus side, the earliest we could rebook for was Sunday. We stood in line for over 2 hours to find that out. Needless to say, it wasn't a happy experience. Made a bad error in judgement after we stood in line earlier in the day (only about a half hour that time) to stay on our flight (which they were insisting still "might" go) instead of booking for Saturday afternoon at that point - there were only 5 seats left at the time (we need 5!) so minutes after we walked away it was too late. At the time waiting until tomorrow seemed ridiculous. Now it would have been a much better idea!

We were supposed to come back on the 29th, but that would give us not enough time to see family and hit all the places we're hitting. Tried to change it to the 30th (Sunday) and all flights were COMPLETELY booked. So we decided that since this is mostly likely the last time we'll make it out there with the boys due to their schedules, etc., that we'd skip a day of school/work and come back on Monday instead. Haven't told my boss yet - by the time I called at 1pm, they'd all gone home for the day today. Maybe they'll tell me I can't stay and when I do they can fire me!

Changing the subject some, did I mention that they've been promising me all along (since my first interview) that there'd be a raise at 6 months? No one mentioned anything and since we're now past six months, I asked this week about it. Boss said he'd get back to me. Next day he told me that they'd agreed on a 50 CENT an hour raise! Wow - can they afford to be so generous? He said we'd talk again at the end of calendar year - oh boy, in just 9 months, maybe they'll give me ANOTHER 50 cents! Really, once summer rolls around and I know what the kids' schedules will be for the fall, I'm looking seriously elsewhere!

Back to the airport story! Unfortunately, even though we booked on another flight, our luggage was still on the first flight, which never made it out today, but was still "delayed" when we left the airport. They couldn't pull our bags for us (well, they could, but they said it would take about 3 hours). We didn't have a problem leaving them there, but they insisted they'd go on to Boston with the flight. Now I don't have any idea where the luggage actually is and what the odds are of it ending up in Boston on Sunday. And of course all our ski stuff is in there!

And now we won't be going to Boston itself (other than the airport) on Sunday. We'll be landing (hopefully!) and heading right up to Vermont to ski because our package starts that afternoon. That is not changeable. Luckily it was in the middle of our trip. During our LONG stay in line, we got to know the folks near us well. The people in front of us were going on a cruise - thinking they were being safe by flying out a day early. They couldn't get out today or tomorrow at all, so ended up leaving the airport, after being there for 6 hours, and DRIVING to Ft. Lauderdale - obviously all the way through and hopefully before the ship sails at 5pm tomorrow. The people behind us were flying to Dallas for a wedding. They also were given no options that would get them there in time and ended up just getting their money back and not going to the wedding (it was for a friend). So I guess it could be worse.

I said that on the shuttle bus back to the hotel to get our car. Said something to Matt like, "Well, it could be worse. At least we..." and he interrupted "Have our Health!" I'm like - "um, okay, that too!"

Speaking of Matt - he's ecstatic to be back home! GF's best friend was having a birthday party tonight that got weathered out a month or so ago, so now he got to go with GF! Well, that's his opinion at least!

Well, I've been up since 3:30 (supposed to get up at 4:30, but of course was stressed I'd sleep too late and woke up and couldn't go back to sleep) and I'm losing consciousness! I'll catch up with you all tomorrow since I don't have much to do other than wash the small amount of stuff we have (yep, the dirty laundry's in the checked baggage! - luckily the wet swimsuits came home!) and try to extend my video time since they'd now be due before we get back!

Wish I had better news!

 

[tlinus]

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

This game is making us crazy!!!

 

[Sharon G]

Yep, I miss the good old days too. My youngest will be 18 next month.

He has received all the packages from the colleges he applied to.

We mailed in the tuition deposit to his first choice this morning! It feels really good to have this behind us now.

Of course, his first choice school offered him the smallest scholarship. I emailed them and included the offers from the other schools and his first choice school upped their offer by $12000!

Guess I had better be looking for airfare to Daytona for August!!!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

This game is making us crazy!!!

Sorry! I was pulling for them.

 

[Metro West]

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

This game is making us crazy!!!

Which game? I've been watching a movie.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Hi again!! We're HEEERE! Unfortunately, I wish I could say that "here" was Boston, but it's not.

Wow Marcie, that's horrible. At least, you worked it out to still get to go. Hopefully, you'll have better weather on Sunday.

That's awesome! I hope we get that lucky, but I won't be counting on it. Where's he going to school at?

She was pulling for St. Joseph's against Oklahoma.

 

[Metro West]

Good night folks...have a good night and pleasant Saturday!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Good night, Todd! Good night, all! I'm off to bed to watch more of the games then snooze myself.

 

[ky07]

Good night homies and sweet dreams

 

[loribell]

Loribell- make sure all the downstairs window blinds/curtains are working so the cops cannot peak in!

K!

Have the house to myself..... since there was no skool yesterday & today, Ry's coach that runs his Sat. morning soccer clinic, has a mini goalkeeper camp going on Thur-Sat mornings. THREE hours (9-12noon) and it's outside... ..which would be okay if we lived near Tricia, Lori or Todd...but, we don't and it's VERY windy & chilly out there....DH wanted a 4 day weekend, so he took Thurs. off and took him yesterday and today again. (From what I understand, he is sitting in his car watching movies on his Zune ) Tomorrow he will probably go back indoors to his last 2 clinics....he missed last Saturdays game due to the clinic. (Thought he'd learn more at clinic than in the game...Coach agreed.)

We had an incident Monday nite.....realized at dinner, we were never informed of a time for Bubba's conference that night. Called the skool and left message for teacher. She called back in about 5 minutes and said we were scheduled for 6pm. I didn't realize it and didn't want her sitting there waiting for us if we weren't coming.... Told her we have another committment at 6:45 (Bubba soccer playoff game) the other side of Reading (without traffic, this would be a 20 min. trip). Told her we'd make 6.

We arrive at skool just before 6 for our conference. Conferences started at 5:30 and they run for 15 min. per parent/student. Well....we left at 6:15 because the people ahead of us were still in with her and we wouldn't have time to talk about Bubba's skoolwork anyway...IF the people she was with walked out then...but, they showed NO signs of leaving anytime soon. Now, I am and DH is really fuming. He said how ridiculous it is to be running 15 minutes behind schedule on the 2nd person of the night. Haveta agree. The next parent came and asked if we were 6:45? (after him)...Told him, no, we were 6...ahead of him. Well, when we decided to leave, he asked if he could give her a message. DH said, 'no. she'll figure it out when we're not here." Now, my DH was a bit loud and let his anger be known about how the whole thing runs.... IF you need more than the 15 minutes, alloted, SCHEDULE ANOTHER CONFERENCE!!!!

So, we get an email from the teacher stating she was sorry she ran late, but heard there were not nice things said about her and she didn't deserve them?? WTH??? We never said anything bad about HER...esp. in front of Bubba....gggrrrrr..... She said she would be willing to have us come in Tues. nite (couldn't do, I was working) or a phone conference and (get this) she said she would be 'more comfortable meeting with Ryan's Mom'.... DH about went thru the roof!! He was pi**ed and I don't blame him. SHE screwed US...how is my DH the bad guy?? Okay, rant over....

Oh what a brilliant coach, an outdoor soccer clinic in PA in March?

That was absolutely ridiculous behavior on that teachers part. Maybe her email needs to be forwarded on to the principal. It sounds to me like the other parent might have said that more was said.

Oh and our teachers do not let parents go over. Sometimes they may start a little late but they don't go over. She needs to apologize. Make sure she does not start treating our Bubba differently or I will come have a talk with her myself!

I'm beginning to feel the Universal hate may stem from a TM hitting on his girlfriend? Or that was how he interpreted what a TM was doing many, many years ago? Maybe girlfriend left him and he has decided it was all Universal's fault.

I wonder if said girlfriend even exists!

 

[Sharon G]

That's awesome! I hope we get that lucky, but I won't be counting on it. Where's he going to school at?

He's going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical College in Daytona. They also have a campus in Prescott Arizona. Their most popular major is commerical pilot, but James is going for computer engineering with a minor in flight. He wants to get his private pilot license!

 

[loribell]

I'm going to have to leave soon for Joshua's class egg hunt and party.

I have to finish cleaning the house and prepping the food today and tomorrow, so wish me luck. I've done most of the big stuff... but what is left is still alot.

Oh, I almost forgot a story! I started getting out our Easter decorations yesterday. I have a resurrection set (think nativity scene, but Jesus and the tomb instead of Jesus and the manger) and when I took it out of the box, Jesus' hands fell off.

Everyone else still has hands. Jesus is the only one. If I get time, I'll post pictures. It freaked me out for awhile, but I think I'm over it.

Glad the cleaning is done. So sorry about your Resurrection scene. Can't imagine what could have happened to it.

If at any time his hands return, I'm going to sell the set on eBay and make a fortune.



You should have seen me holding the handless Jesus and trying to figure out if it meant something.

To me, the linked thread is a no brainer. I love both resorts, but MGM isn't nearly as nice as US. The person who said both UO parks combined equals one WDW park obviously missed a lot of stuff at both parks. FWIW, we think MGM & AK are both 1/2 day parks at most. That doesn't mean everyone thinks that. I just don't get some people. They act like there's a reward for the DISboard member most addicted to WDW.

It is all I can do to get Ally to actually go to MGM. We love to go to AK though but we go for opening and leave by 1. We just have to go back multiple times for Ally's happiness. She is the one in charge.

We're waiting.

I said when I have some free time. There was none of that around here today nor will there be tomorrow.

Here is a copy of my post from another thread:

So, remember how I told you my mil took care of the Easter basekts? Well this year she decided to just do bunnies instead. So yesterday I got to go buy stuff for baskets for Ally and my granddaughter.

I went to the baseball field to get the concession going at 8:30 this morning, went to the inlaws at 12:45, stayed until 4:00, back to the ballfield until 5:00, to bank & then grocery store and finally back home at 7:00. Dh is finally doing something to help out and is cooking dinner. UGH!


Have a terrific weekend & Easter everyone.

Oh and dad called today and mother decided the ham she bought wasn't enough for everyone she invited and we needed to have our normal brisket too. So I got to go buy everything to smoke brisket and now we are getting ready to start smoking it. It is going to be a long night. Of course it won't be as good since it didn't get to marinade but it will do.

I just want to add a word of thanks to the homies who posted on that thread. The one this morning REALLY got me upset with the "slimeball" comment. Otherwise, he can post whatever he wants but that really did it for me.

Hey those parks are what brought us all together. They are important to us too. And he insulted a few of our own too.

So sorry Belmont didn't beat Duke last night. What a great game, and what a terrible upset that would've been! Coach K looked like crud last night, but I guess he had the flu. Anyway, I hate Duke. My brother was denied admission there, but the dingbat he tutored got in on a full scholarship for wrestling, so they kiss my you-know-what.
xx

Now isn't that ridiculous.

My NCAA game for the day:

GO HAWKS!!!!!​

Sorry Tracie.

I made Kenny's basket last night, but still haven't decided on the gift. Like you, I can hear that clock telling me I'm running out of time. Hope you find some good "bunny" stuff.

I got Ally the Nancy Crew movie that she has been waiting for.

 

[loribell]

I've got my pics.

First up, the resurrection:

And a closeup:

I found one hand, but not the other one. There were wires sticking out of the arms that the hands broke off and they looked super creepy, so I took a pair of pliers and clipped the wires off.

Next up, Joshua's party. The egg hunt:

And the party in his classroom:

Okay the missing hands are just creepy.

Joshua is adorable!

I'm pulling for St. Joe's too then! See, I'm pulling for my peep's teams. I hope the rest of you lose.

HEY! That was my Sooners they were playing!

Oh Marcie that is awful. I hope you get out on your next flight. Who were you flying with? Good luck with the luggage. Your story is why we do not fly anymore.

Yep, I miss the good old days too. My youngest will be 18 next month.

He has received all the packages from the colleges he applied to.

We mailed in the tuition deposit to his first choice this morning! It feels really good to have this behind us now.

Good night to both of you! And you too Lawrence.

 

[loribell]

Okay now on to other things. Man did you guys type your little fingers off today.

The Cayman guy is an idiot. So is DVCJen. Period! That thread is ridiculous. Should have been locked. Period!

Barb asked about Mikey's MRI. Sorry I forgot to update you guys. We are not doing an MRI yet. This doctor (actually his pa) is much more thourough and I felt very comfortable with what he was saying. They want to try simpler things first. We are going to do therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks. He also gave him some exercises to do on his own and then showed me the diference in the tightness in his arms. He has to lay down on his side out straight, he then is supposed to put his right arm out to the side and with his left hand push it as far towards the table as he can and hold it for 10 seconds. He has to do 3 sets of 10 a day. When he is doing this with his right arm he can not even get it to a 45 degree angle. When he turns over and does it with his left arm he can go all the way to the table and flatten it out. I guess there is a little tightness there!

Sorry if I missed anything. It has been a very long, stressful day complete with more crap with the ex son in law.

Lawrence and Todd I am so proud of you guys for your efforts. Keep it up.

I won't be around until tomorrow evening again it at all. Just in case I don't make it back in I want to go ahead and wish you all a super fantastic Easter. I have some pics of a great Crucifixion & Resurrection scene I took on my way back from Albuquerque to post for you guys. I will do that tomorrow evening if I can, if not I will try to do it Sunday.

Night everyone!

 

[bubba's mom]

It is now March 21 and we will probably take vacation around June 21 - and yet we have no plans. Hopefully, this weekend I can make DH decide what we are going to do? DFIL mentioned Grand Canyon a few months back - not sure if he still wants to do this or not. If this falls through, looks like a Florida trip for us!!!!
jennifer
