hi rosemarie.

looks like a lot of us have similar issues with relatives.
sorry you have a situation that hasn't been resolved yet either.


my gma's are gone. i sure did love my gma for the short time i knew her..


i do hope the job search goes well for your dh.
i know this is a worry for you. when you have kids, a person can't go very long without a job.

i know things will improve for you and your family rose.
just have faith.




i wish we had some rain.
my green grass in the front yard is now a brown yard.


hoping some of the homies will share their rain with me......

 

[macraven]

hey
it's wake up time sleepyhead homies.




the sun is up and the moon is down out of sight..

I am up! I am tired, but I'm up. Need to get my fat butt to Curves though. It's mom's birthday today, so I'm hoping she is speaking to me today long enough to wish her a happy day!

Thanks for all your well wishes. Our situation is certainly not unique, just stressful. My poor mom had been looking forward to some independence, and no sooner did my lil sis move out than she had to start taking care of grandma practically full time so it's a bit hard on her. Rose, my grandma lives in an apartment in our neighborhood. I really don't think grandma and mom can live together again at this point. I don't mean to make it sound like that, but it wouldn't be good for either one of them. And I am continuing to keep your family in my prayers. I do hope something comes up for your DH soon!

I think I just hung up with the most unhelpful Loews Orlando hotel reservationist ever. Every argument I made she had a counter for, and I tried to get a supervisor involved, but she would hear none of it. Think I need to try later to hope for someone else. I was just trying to get my Oct rate changed from AAA to Super Saver. No such luck getting this done with Cindy. Hmpphh.

SOME GOOD NEWS!!!!!

that should do the trick.......

good news at the doctor place. hooray!

 

[bubba's mom]

hey all.....

Jodie, i agree with everyone else..you did the right thing with your situation. Doing what you did, was just inevitable, and like mentioned, better now than "too late".....

mac...hope your son is doing better.....absolutely TOO much for you right now....too bad your trip isn't closer....(i think it's needed now rather than later)

penny....glad to everything is "better" and/or in working order...the toe feeling better too?

rosemarie......keep the faith sister. i believe in "everything happens for a reason"..... i once got fired from a job and really didn't know what I was going to do....however, i got a better job making MORE money (and I mean a LOT more)...so, remember, when that door closes, a window opens somewhere....you just have to be patient and find out which window. remember your recent trip and be greatful for the memories (if this had happened before your trip, you may have cancelled it and everyone NEEDS a vacation.....)

tracie......why oh why did you have to post those SW rates..... ...i can resist the urge, i can resist the urge

other than that, we leave Dad's tomorrow nite for home...flying outta MCO 8:45pm Sat. nite (I hope.....hope i ain't waitin' 6 hours like keishashadow did ....but, we have a few movies on laptop, so if we are, no biggie i guess.... )

well, off to swim with the boys....catch you all later!

oh, i am STILL loading my pix to photobucket.....700+ pix take awhile

 

[AlexandNessa]

1. if you go to curves, then i have to go to curves today. i thought we were going on the all you can eat diet for the rickshaw races......

Well, I did go to Curves, but I just made myself a cheeseburger for lunch. Does that count?!

I hope everyone enjoys her weekend. Looks like we're in for yet more rain. On a positive note, our grass looks great!

I am getting ready to leave for work in about an hour or so. At least I am working with friends tonight .... and I don't have to train! Bonus.

Hi Guys! I just replied to Lori in an email and rather than type it again, I'll copy it here for you (so Lori, you've read it already!).

DS13 and I here saying hi from Mackinac island at a small internet cafe. Were planning on only checking email for 15 minutes (and dropping in on my Uni DIS thread), but we're almost at that time just reading your email! So I don't have time to reply now, but let you know we read it.

We've had beautiful weather here this week, despite the dire forecasts for rain nearly every day. Sprinkled for like 5 minutes maybe twice. We did about 17 miles of biking/mountain biking on Wed and had some fun (it was really rough biking and REALLY buggy though!). Unfortunately yesterday we planned just a short road trip to the store and right by it (about 2.5 miles) DS13 completely wiped out. Hit knee, hand, face, shoulder in succession. The knee is healing (looks like a normal wipeout), but the hand is really bad. Took about a 50 cent piece chunk of skin out and even though I keep wrapping it with bandaids, gauze, Neosporin, etc., looks really bad. His face looks like he was a bad shaving casualty with bandaids above his lip and chin. We had to drive into Mackinac City to get bandaids yesterday (first patched him up with panty liners and first aid tape because the bandaids weren't big enough). Today we had to modify our touring on Mackinac since he isn't (obviously) up to the mtn. biking we had planned.

We started with the guys doing some while we did touring (around the outside of the island) biking, then swapped, then swapped back. A bit of touring at the same time, lunch at an outdoor hot dog stand, and some quick shopping. DH and the other 2 are golfing now (surprise) and DS13 and I are in charge of shopping!

Looking forward to catching up with you guys next week!

 

[bubba's mom]

oh marci....what a shame for your ds! altho, the panty liner thing but, hey, a mom has got to do what a mom has got to do!
Hope it doesn't ruin the rest of your trip....have a great time!

 

[Dagny]

:

dagny, you have been missed a lot !!

are you going to share your trip report with us?
please do.
if i have to grabble for one, i will.......

Awww, thanks. A trip report, huh? Day two is real easy.... Zachary rode Dr. Doom over twenty times, LOLOLOL.

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I'm sitting her in the airport. My flight leaves MCO in 2 hrs.

Should I....

-go through the security gate and just wait it out?
-see if there are any 10-20 min chair massages available at the airport spa?
-wander around like a putz (while Marauding,of course)

 

[bubba's mom]

DM...i think you should DIS some more. I am in Ocala, and i am hearing thunder and waiting for the drops.....

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I only partake in this board.

I'm scouring myspace and seeing if anything Worthy catches my eye.


And I highly recommend everyone watch Transformers this weekend. It kicked at least 12 forms of booty.

 

[bubba's mom]

ds isn't "into" transformers....we went to see shrek 3 yesterday....didn't think it was that good.....and to think they are making 2 more speaking of shrek 3, who was the "ugly" princess supposed to be? (I don't think I remember that one?)

 

[the Dark Marauder]

Shrek 3 was meh. Some good laughs, yes, but otherwise stale.

The ugly princess is one of Cinderella's step-sisters.

 

[bubba's mom]

okay...that's what i thought....i didn't understand why he/she was hanging out with the real princesses tho.....i know mabel (?) was a bartender tho

DM....you gettin thunder/rain there?

 

[the Dark Marauder]

It's still pretty clear!

 

[bubba's mom]

That's good...cuz of the 15 min. rule....once we sat on the tarmac for an hour waiting for a tstorm to pass ggrrrrrr
