Another soggy day but we need it so bad..
Looks like Orlando is getting hit now!!

 

[donaldduck352]

Well the weekend is officialy over for me..
Work comes early in the morning..

Have a greatnight all!!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Good Night, Homies!

We went through out suitcases this weekend and found that we have plenty that work, we also had two duds that never made it out of the attic before. Next weekend -- toiletry shopping! I think I'm the only one in the family who is excited by buying mini toothpaste!

Sleep well, enveloped in the utter blackness of the Darkside...

Thanks! It's not my first choice but I got tired of fooling around with it.

smells like a tag to me

DD got in from Cedar Point this am without a voice--lost it before she even got to the park.

She never got to ride the Dragster--it kept breaking down. So, she gave up and rode other coasters.

I hope the crowds are better in 2 wks when DS and DH hit the parks.

CP has the longest lines @ any park

so, r u invited on the 2nd trip?

Well, as long as she got to ride Force, then she's done the main cool ride in the park!
the new ride (Maverick?) is just eh, but Millennium Force is definitely the best ride there! (Although I personally love the Wildcat! ).

maverick had the 2nd longest line (after dragster) when we visited last year, a fav...that one drop is something else (more than 90 degreesit seems)

the beast is a beasti hate wooden coasters that just throw u around for no good reason!

re angels & demons, wait for the DVD, no where as good as 1st one, bit of a snooze.

have a great week all, im off on errands...going to go buy my traveler's checks for next trip. ever since we had that CC fraud fiasco the one year re WDW/DCL (good thing we had extra card along or we would've had to wait until they fed ex'd a card to bank next day) im so leery. always make sure to take the funds that will be paying off the trip in TC jik

not sure if we're just unlucky or it's commonplace now, had 3 or 4 (possibly 5, u tend to lose track after a couple) instances of different CCs getting locked for fraudlent purchase attempts. It all works out once discovered, yet stressful anyway imo

here's to a good homie week!

 

[Laurabearz]

It's sunny but chilly here in Chicago and frankly I am ready for hot hot hot weather!!!

12 more actual days of school left (not counting weekends lol) 5 days this week 4 day next week and 3 the following.

I think I am more excited about summer than the kids lol

Say... Has anyone been to 6 flags over Georgia? We are going there and any tips would be welcome. I think I will ask over on the CB.

Ok time to switch out laundry

Good almost afternoon homies

I'm invited on Cedar Pointe trip, but it's for school and I just don't want to chaperone this year. So, I did the next best thing--I signed up DH--

Chaperoning last year cost us almost $800, so I said only one parent per year.

My Kiddies are taking standardized tests this week--the pathetic excuse for testing that only compares WV kids with WV kids--not the Iowas or not Stanfords that is national testing--big joke in my book.

Then school will be out 2wks after that...not enough time or tests to get dear son's grades up---I just can't wait for this year to be over

Had to cover up veggies last night--it got down to freezing
Now it's 54 and I planted some more. I must've been hungry when I was buying because I have too many plants for the area.

Happy Monday everyone!

I just found out from DH that his company is now offering Kennywood tickets for half off this year.

 

[RAPstar]

Me and my sweetie finally made it to the theatre to see Star Trek! It was really good. Then we went ice skating with my best friend Chip and his brother on Sunday.

 

[donaldduck352]

Dropping in to say hellow and goodnight!!

 

[coastermom]

Hey, Homies. I've been MIA. I have a note from the teacher (me) to excuse myself.

Brent has been gone for a week to AK for a memorial service and will be home tomorrow afternoon. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!! I've missed him so very, very, very much.

Meanwhile, with the warm weather, our yard and house have become infested with fleas. Frontline only kills fleas after they bite the dog, so my poor pups are covered with living and dead fleas. I called an exterminator and was told everything had to be off of the carpet, and he'd give me a quote on the yard when he came to do the house.

We haven't even finished unpacking from our move two years ago. So I've spent the last four days unpacking as much as I could and moving lots of heavy things into the kitchen. Ow, I'm stiff now. It's hard to get anything done with the kids awake, so bedtime for me has been around 4-5 AM since Friday (insert zombie smilie here). Poor kids have been dealing with a very cranky mom today. I will never do this again while Brent is out of town.... Heck, I hope I never have to do it again, period.

When the exterminator came he said the yard was too big for him to do. It would take three days and cost $400. And the grass was too tall. I thought the price was really reasonable, considering we have 2.5 acres, but there was still that tall grass problem. I called a guy to mow the yard, and the exterminator is coming again tomorrow to do the area around the house where the fleas are the worst. I hope it's enough.

While the house was being taken care of, I took the dogs to the vet for a killer bath. When we got home again tonight, I sprayed them with some cider vinegar that is steeped with thyme. I've heard it's a good flea repellant, so I hope the itchy monsters will leave my dogs in peace until the yard is sprayed. I love thyme. I almost want to bite my dogs, but I'm not fond of hair in the mouth.

I'll try to ketchup now.

Cheers,

By the time we walked up my little road past the wreck, the semi was dislodged. Go into the house and argue some more with DS about his attitude and grades, then walk back down to bottom to pick up truck.

Fix supper, eat, get DD to her softball...

Oh and all of this while wearing heels

Gee, I don't know why a financial seminar slipped my mind...

Heels. You are a brave woman! Four hours is my limit wearing heels.

She starts chemo the beginning of June, after she recovers from the surgery, but this now seems like something that could be beatable!

It is apparently a very invasive cancer, so she may need to continue fighting it throughout her life but things are much more optimistic than they were a week or so ago! Thanks for the prayers and I'll continue to update you on her progress!

Hooray for your friend!!!!!!!!! You all must be so relieved and elated. Miracles do happen!

Evening all!! Shane made dinner again. Tonigh is fajitas!!! Yum!!

Cooks AND makes you happy. Sounds like a great catch!

7:30 a.m., just had dogs out...brought them in to eat...beagle walks over to bowl...eats...walks off the ceramic one stinking foot...barfs on carpet....

I'm going back to bed, it's Saturday.

Isn't that always how it goes? I guess it's easier to snarf back up off of a soft surface.

Good Night, Homies!

EVERYTHING ABOUT A TRIP IS EXCITING, ESPECIALLY BABY-SIZED TOILETRIES. I love the pre-trip shopping, too. In fact, it's one of my favorite things about the trips. Hope you have a great time!

After this, try treating your yard every so often with Scott's Feed and pest control. It seems to keep the fleas/ticks out of our yard. And we live right beside the woods and a field. Bayer makes a pretty good product that you sprinkle around the perimeter, too. Both are evil (non-green) products, but I hate critters in the house.

Good luck.

And the older I get, the more a 1-bedroom with no yard is looking very purty to me. Why do men think you need large yards? It's not like they're the ones taking care of it?
