Lori - sorry to hear that your puppy is sick. that's not fun. BTW, how do you like your beagle? We're looking into getting another dog in the next few months and were looking at beagles. We think they're so cute! But we need a dog that won't grow too big and is ok to stay indoors. Does yours stay in the house with you?

Also, good luck to your boys tonight!! Baseball is so fun!! Our 7 yo son plays pee wee. It's great to watch them now because they're finally figuring out all the details. Like where to throw the ball when it's hit, and making good plays, etc. They're improving their skills, you know?

See ya!
Melissa

Melissa we love the beagle. He is such a good puppy, actually a year old now. He is an inside dog for the most part, we do let him go out and run around some since we live in the country.

We had a wonderful night of baseball last night, won 2-0. We all went to eat & then back to the ball field to watch our competition for tonight.

Unfortunately the night ended terribly. On the way home a dad & his son from Tuttle were killed in a car accident and we are all devastated. His wife and two other boys were not with him fortunately. I had seen her at our ball game and didn't ever see him but Michael said he saw him during the second game. After the game as we all left Michael asked if we could stop and get something to drink so we did. One of the ball players families that was right in front of us leaving the game had to swerve to miss the car that hit our friends head on. All I can think is that is we hadn't stopped that would have been us. I think the baseball team made it through before the accident, but it had to have been by just a few minutes. We went through before there was any emergency vehicles on the scene. They had one body covered on the ground and had another on the ground trying desperately to revive him and Michael saw the whole thing. I know he didn't sleep at all last night and then we found out this morning that it was friends. They were just there watching us play, none of their boys are on the team. Their oldest boy is in the 8th grade & Michael used to play little league ball with him. Michael would go over to their house and the dad would help him with his batting. He was such a wonderful person as was the son that was killed, he was in the 5th grade. His wife came up to me after we won last night and gave me a big hug. I can not imagine what she is going through now. They also have a little one that is in the 1st grade.

Please say a prayer for her & the boys.

 

[bubba's mom]

that is so sad to hear i will definately keep that family in my thoughts and prayers ......so scary to witness it too! i just simply cannot imagine......

 

[AlexandNessa]

OMG, what terrible news loribell. I will certainly keep the family in my prayers. How very sad.

 

[t-and-a]

Oh Lori, that's terrible! I feel for the family and your entire community. It's hard on everyone when something like that happens. I will say a prayer for the mother and the other boys, as well as your family.

 

[keishashadow]

loribell - so sad to hear.

i think the diet craze is over, eh............just for the record, i am still dieting.
i want to look normal size for my late september trip.

i'm doing this cause i know i will meet some of you that has a camera.
and you know that old saying, cameras add 10 lbs to people in the pics.

so, if i lose some weight and the pic adds 10 to me then i will look normal.

i know that makes sense when you read it if you are a blonde.

I heard about a study on the news a couple years ago where they had men guess women's weights. They averaged guessing they weighed 5 lbs. less, if the woman had on a nice smelling perfume. Apparently, the smell made them appear more favorably in the man's eyes. How much do you think we could appear to lose, if we took a bath in it?

Dead is the new 80!

No way!!! I'm not dying until I'm 94. My hubby will be 100. He's an older man, you know. We're going to die the same day. That's how the world works in the bubble I live in.

BTW, my birthday's May 3rd.

I've started avoiding most of those threads. I'm constantly wondering, if it's actually adults posting most of that "pixie dust" & UO bashing stuff. A 12 yr. old, maybe. An adult seeming to truly believe in the "magic" of "pixie dust". You know, the stuff that only other Disers would understand. Since it would be best for me to not tell 1/2 the people on this board that they seriously need to grow up, I'm trying to just stay away.

Keisha,
I'm glad to hear your mom got a clean bill of health, & is back home.

Marcie,
I love your calendar. What a great idea! I'm really impressed that you got your teen boys to show enough enthusiasm in the trip to pose for the photos. How did you manage that? My DS is too much like his dad. They like to just show up & everything be all planned out & magically fall into place. All they care about is knowing where we have reservations to eat at.

t-and-a,
I hope the shop is over with by now. That's not a pleasant experience.

lori,
Congrats on your win. Unfortunately, the extremely story that followed does take some of the joy out of it. My heart is broken for the mom & kids left. As bubba'smom said, I can not imagine. The only thing that could possibly be worse than losing a spouse would be losing a child. I hope the team will be able to keep it together tonight. I know the game is important to all of you. I'm also sure the family will be in your thoughts as well.



It looks like I'm going to have to start watching the networks at night. I'm a boring Nat. Geographic, Science, Discovery, History Channel, etc. watcher. That's when there's not a ballgame I want to watch. I have no clue what you're all talking about.

For all of you getting rain, please send some my way. I went out early, & saw a couple rain drops hit the windshield. I was about ready to stop at the grocery store for cake & ice cream. Rain is certainly reason for a party at the moment. Alas, it was a false alarm. Still no rain.

PS: When you send the rain, be sure it knows to skip all UO property. Fan2CSkr is on her way there, & I wouldn't want her blaming me for a rainy vacation.

 

[marciemi]

Lori - I read your email and then your post here. Wow - that's about all I can say. I hope your son is handling it okay - does he have any games coming up still here that he has to prepare for? I'm guessing even something like this wouldn't delay the games since the family wasn't directly involved in the baseball and they've been delayed so long already. But it certainly has to affect your son and others who knew the family. I'm sure you'll be of help to the family as time goes on here. I'm so sorry about it and have them in my prayers.

What you don't see is the scenario leading up to this. Me screaming at DS11 to "get his butt down here so we can do some pics NOW!" Followed by him coming down, rolling his eyes, without a shirt on. Me yelling at him because he doesn't have a shirt and him yelling he was changing for soccer (which is about 5 minutes away at this point). Telling him we NEED to do pics NOW because the lighting isn't good in that room after dark so go find his shirt. Him coming in and pouting because now he doesn't want to do pics (AND is going to be late for soccer). Me threatening that if he doesn't look HAPPY in this picture he's not going to come with us to Disney! Actually my teens were the easy part in this - they were just sitting amused during this entire exchange waiting to actually take the pictures!

DS13 is my Disney planning buddy. He's the only one interested in all this and has read TGM and DIS, along with all the trivia books with me. My other 2, and DH sound exactly like yours - "just tell us where to be and when and we'll be there!"

I've got to take DS #1 (13 year old) to get a tetanus shot this morning....he stepped on a nail last night (it went through his shoe). I called my DMIL last night, who is a nurse and asked when he should be due for a booster, and she said 7th grade is when they give them. He is just finishing the 7th grade and I thought I would get a letter when he needed his shots..... Needless to say, he is not a happy camper this morning. To top it off, he was supposed to go to a really cool skateboard park with two of his friends tonight. He says he can't even walk now.....so, he really needs to go to school, but says there's no way he's going.

Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he's doing better now and survived his day at school. 13 sounds late for that follow-up tetanus - I know my oldest got it at 10 and my other son got it at 11. I was thinking I was WAY behind on youngest DS who will be 12 next week. I just called the doctor to get him an appointment for a physical - we moved here last summer and never actually found a doctor yet. But his inhalers are expiring and he's going to camp this summer and hadn't had that tetanus shot. I remembered trying really hard to get an appointment for my older two last summer to get a physical for sports (scheduling 2-3 months out), so decided I better call soon since camp is mid-June. I call yesterday and ask what they have for a new patient physical and the receptionist is like "how about 3pm"? I'm like "today?" Uh, I was thinking more when school got out! Finally compromised on mid-June! I thought I heard something about Chicken Pox boosters too and maybe even another vaccine - guess we'll see! Pixie dust to your son!

 

[macraven]

lori, that is hearbreaken news. i'm sure you and your son are overwhelmed
at this point. i have them on my prayer list.



hey, fanCSkr8 left without saying good bye to the homies????



i forgot what else i was going to say. i read what i missed but don't remember squat right now except for the may 3 bd.....

 

[macraven]

tetanus shots are good for 10 years.
