Hi all!!
Julie - for a pirate Tee did you try Mike's? The last time I was there they had an iron on's of the jolly roger and one was the jeweled/rhinestone kind similar to what you wore on the last member cruise.

Thanks Stacy! I didn't try Mike's but will next week. If ours doesn't have it I may call you

Hello !!!!

We have not had any of that white stuff (except the dusting this am) this week. Rich was going to Minneapolis on Monday and was supposed to leave the airport at 8 am - THANKS to O'HARE as his connecting point he did not leave until after noon and then got stuck there until 9 pm. I had issues with O'HARE 2 weeks ago too!... note to self - do not fly through Chicago unless it is your destination.

Mary congrats on the twin grandbabies.... boy this is a busy year for you.

Stacy - how many coats of paint did you have to use to get that deep red just right. I painted my "too be scrap room" a raspberry red 3 coats later and it still needs another coat or 2.

Cindy - Walker is too young for dates

Diana and Amy - please express mail some of that warm weather this way. I am really over winter right now.

We are supposed to go to Destin for Spring Break but I really do not want to go. I am in panic mode over the PC cruise and the bill at the end of the trip. Thank god we are getting that tax rebate....

I took today off because Nick has a half day - plans were for us to go to lunch and then go to 2 pounds and look for a puppy. Those plans got AXED - when I picked Nick up his teacher asked to see me. Seems Nick only had a brief period ( a week or two ) of behaving well in class - just before report cards came out. This year he cant seem to shut up in class. Of course he blames it on the girl he sits next to. So now we are home - I made lunch and he is writing his little hands off - I will not talk in class. Of course the first time he started writing it was a letter to his teacher - I crumpled that up. We have been there done that. The he wrote a page of I will not talk in school. Of course being the mean old MOM that I am - made him start all over again because that is not what I said. The teacher did not even grade a paper today because the directions stated to underline the answer and he circled them. F. I am soooo ticked.

Does any one have any words of wisdom of how the heck I can get this kid to shut his trap. (see frustration) I am ready to tell his teacher to send him to the Principals office next time.

Thanks for reading this rant.. any suggestions will be well received.

Sorry I took so long to get back Cindy.

Seems some people think they need an ambulance for just EVERYTHING

Coleen is still trying to find out times for Mickey and friends. So for now it looks like we can meet you all for lunch at HOOTERS at noon. The wine sale is at the PRP warehouse, 650 bonnie lane in Elk grove Village. I am not real familiar with the area but mapquest says its like 5 miles away from HOOTERS.

SO if you want to drink some wine let me know If we have to adjust times that is okay too just tell mew what your thoughts are. See you on Saturday

Hey Steve - I thought of you the other day. We were over at Hooters having lunch last week and saw that they are having a promotion similar to the one for their 20th anniversary. If you visit 25 Hooters and get a stamp between now and the end of the year, you get a 200 wing party certificate. We did it for the 20th anniversary (only had to visit 20 Hooters), and we ended up with 2 parties. We picked up our little "passports" to start our little adventure!!

 

[fireplug]

That is so cool Amy! We got our passports on the 25th of Jan and hit 5 HOOTERS that day. We have hit the 6th one already, Saturday will make 7 so we may be done by, oh, JUNE!

We have a friend doing one too so we may get 3 parties out of this yet!

That's awesome, Steve! We picked up 4 passports (Chris didn't realize that the girls weren't "eligible"). But we figured that we'd give them to a couple of friends. Lucky for us, central FL is filled with Hooters restaurants, so hopefully we'll be done soon.

Chris's friends at work are already excited, because they benefitted from our free parties last time.

Rich should have called. Gary would have been more than happy to go and pick him up and escape the madness of the airport for Rich and the madness of our house for Gary. I'm sure they could have found some place to pass the time.

I'm wondering if Nick has a case of puppy love as well? Being he's spending his days talking to the girl next to him in class. Maybe you could suggest to the teacher to put him next to the most quiet kid in class, one who won't talk back to him? Maybe he'll get bored and focus a little better on his schoolwork?

I also think a visit to the principals office might not be a bad idea so the principal can help Nick get his priorities back on track.

Our school has something called "lunch club". I think it's only designed for kids who don't do their homework - instead of going out for recess, they go to lunch club so that they can complete their assignments. Walker tells me that it's sometimes used to write a punishment. Does Nick's school do anything comperable?

I'm sorry your having a tough time of it.

We will meet you at Hooters at noon. If that changes, just let me know. I have to confess - we've never been to Hooters before althought I've heard about it from Gail & Amy. I tosed out the original card we received about the doings going on at the mall that morning, so I'm no help as to what time it's planned to take place. I tried to skim the DVC Board and didn't see it listed there either - just the events which required registration for Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.

The wine warehouse looks like a pretty straight shot down Higgins. I'm sure it won't be that difficult to find. We'll probably pass on that as it would look really bad for us to take Walker to hockey feeling no pain.


It was so much easier to coordinate getting together when I thought my family was out of town this coming weekend. That will teach me to confuse which weekends we're doing what.

I do not think it is puppy love... right now this kid would talk to the wall if people did not think he was crazy. Super Bowl night it would just sit there and and talk talk talk... repeating everything we all just watched on tv. UUGGHH.... I think I will make the recommedation to go to the office. Maybe that will be humiliating enough. I also thought about putting masking tape on the ends of his sleeves that say SHHHHHH & QUIET. and maybe one for his desk that says PAY ATTENTION.

Off to basketball. his scheduled sporting events will be his only FUN time for a week.

I wish there was some magic words to give you Erin concerning Nick and his constant talking in class. I can feel for you, I was/am there with Deanna. Now I know it's a shock that Deanna would be one to always talk in class but she does. I've even threatened to spend the day with her at school to see why she can't quit socializing. It's not easy but you do need to keep on him which it seems like you are doing. Good Luck, sorry to say it's going to be a couple of long years but you will survive!

I want to go to Hooters! It's been awhile since we've been. Maybe we'll go this weekend and pretend we're with you guys

Cindy you don't want to miss out on the wine tasting - that was one good time when we went! I can say we did a little more tasting than we probably should have

 

[alikat99]

Guess where we went to dinner??? Yep, Hooters! Can you believe that my mom, comes here from Virginia, and she wants Hooters for dinner. Yes, they have Hooters in Virginia, but she says that the Original Hooters, is nothing like Hooters of America (the franchiser of a LOT of the Hooters). So, she wanted to eat at the ones here.

Well now its about time you went then! You dont know what you are missing.
I will pm you our cell numbers. Of course you will have to pose for the obligatory FIRST TIME pics but you will survive.
You dont have to drink LOTS at the tasting, but if you want to pass thats okay. We have no time schedule so we can take our time at HOOTERS.


I think I love your mom Amy! The Chicagoland HOOTERS are owned by the Original group too. But the ones just over the line in Indiana are franchises.
We will have to make it to Clearwater one of these days to go to the first one.

I want to go to Hooters! It's been awhile since we've been. Maybe we'll go this weekend and pretend we're with you guys

Tell John we can exchange pics and it will be just like we are there with you!

Erin - I wish there was more that I could say other than HUGS!!!

I constantly got "talks to much" on my report card so um I'm not sure I can help but I hope he keeps it quiet.

 

[iluvdisney]

Erin - is it possible that he's bored in class. I had quite a few problems with one of my boys in school when he was young and found out that was the problem - good luck.

Diana, have a great time on the cruise!


Steve & Coleen, we'll see you in a couple of hours.

 

[#1Mouse]

Diana, Tina and Kay have a great time on your cruise. Castaway Cay, a Konk Kooler and a lounge chair - how much better can life get!

Enjoy!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Have a great time Diana!!!

Steve & Coleen - we had a wonderful lunch and afternoon. It was nice to sit and chat to catch up on things. Let's do it again some times. I hope you enjoy your rubber ducky!

I hope you found the wine tasting warehouse and enjoyed your samples.




After lunch we headed over to Woodfield. The mall was absolutely crazy with people. We took a tour AKL model and pick up a few pairs of Mickey ears.

Then Walker realized we were 40 minutes before hockey practice and he started getting more and more anxious to get there. Walker's big news is on Tuesday he's moving up to the advanced class. He's beyond estatic as that's one step closer to being put on an official team.

Cindy we got the picture of you guys, I'm guessing you guys were at Hooter's? How did you like it?
