I just wanted to say that I don't venture off the TFW board almost ever. And now I know why...
When someone new says hello here, we always welcome them and don't treat them rudely. I'll just stay here in my happy place from now on.
I'm thankful for my Fockers!
The sommuniyt Board is skeery! I only venture there when Jen or Slate point me in the direction of a good thread
Well looks like that 4/7 deal boots my brother to his own accomdations and I gain Waldo and TE and about 80 something DVC points back.
So, Janet are you looking to be there around the 1st -ish??
If I can book the way I want We will be at Universal 11th to the 14th then WDW the 15th to the 22nd!
So, my drama has settled a bit - basically we've been evaluating Evan for Kinder and whilst his teachers say he's ready academically, they don't believe he's ready on a maturity level. We've decided to keep him in Pre-K one more year to give him a chance to really fine tune his skills and mature a bit. It's really hard, but he is not only my baby, but the entire baby of the family, on both sides and is treated as such.
I'm not sure where this will put my career - as I had hoped to get back into the work force this fall. But I guess things happen for a reason and I'm taking it all in with a little help from my friends.
Been there done that sweetie The cut off here is September 1st and Jimmy's birthday is Sept 1st. That is why he was in PreK at the beginning of this year. We moved him to K becasue the public school doesn't offer PreK. In his case he is doing great but you have to do what you think is best for Evan
As someone who has knowledge of how a large upstairs feels - she is nuts! Her back can not feel good. Unless all she does is lay on it. (I'm not making any suggestions here.):
My thoughts exactly Kristel!
Yay for Jimmy. I hope the meds help. Good luck on the 4/3 deal!
Thanks Kristel
Glad the appointment went well Janet and that Jimmy is so well!
Thanks Lori!
I keep calling my Mom..she hasnt heard from the Dr about what type of Leukemia it is yet. they told her 7-10 days. its about 10 days now. someone told her it could take 6 weeks before she knows for sure.
She told me yesterday,,that "as long as I havent heard anything, nothing is wrong with me..it was just a big dream. and the big bruises on my arms from them taking blood are not there at all!" it was funny how she said it..her spirits are way up.(so it seems anyway) My birthmom. offered to take the kids anytime I needed her or my sisters, in order to go up and spend time with my Mom. I wont take her up on it, because of everything Elizabeth has been going through..plus my Dad and his wife live up there also.
Sounds like she is in good spirits and no matter what that will help

That looks so cool...I want one now
It's -4.5 degrees out. You read that right. NEGATIVE 4.5. And we have school!!!!!! Seriously, I just don't get it.
At least we are in the positive. 1, but positive!
Gus is home sick. He got up and is feverish, has a headache and a really stuffy nose. Poor guy.
Hope he feels better
Thanks Angela!
It's 31 here! OK, not as cold as some of you but I don't like it. Thankfully I have nothing to do today except laundry. Not that exciting, but I don't have to look good doing it. Although I will have earrings on.
I am going to call and check on mom and dad later, not that I can do much from here. I didn't realize it was getting that cold!
Errr nope
It came off fine!
Good!
You've got to what's best for him, over here it's not an option to hold them back and they start proper school aged 4!
Really??? Here they don't have to legally start until they are 8. In Pennsylvania, Kindergarten in NOT a requirement.
I have 4 games of golf next week, 3 are competitions, so it's got to all clear up
Dawn...sometimes I venture out onto the CB and am shocked at how ugly it is out there.
Number three is having a major melt down because he wrote the letter J backwards....got to go......
How old is he? Jimmy get frustrated when we makes a mistake too, but he get more frustrated becasue if he erased he does it too hard and the paper rips
DH brought ds to spanish this AM, so that saved me a special early trip I am just about to jump into the shower and then get Tink to Pre School. After that I volunteer in ds's class, then back to get Tink and bring her to a playdate, then back to school to teach that art class. Yikes! I forgot to review my notes! I will have to do that at some point before the class. Tonight ds has a Imagination Fair, which last year he won (as a Kindergartner~ 3r place in the entire school for writing and English Lit. This year he choose to stay in that category and wrote a small book about Barrack Obama, the election and how he feels about it. We will see what the kids come up with in that category. I think for a 1st grader he did a fabulous job. That is all that counts! Last up for the day is a meeting to start planning our big Kids Sale (like garage sale of kids things).
Hope you get a break in there somewhere Jen. Don't get yourself rundown
Morning!
Good times around here... since yesterday morning the temp dropped to the low 30s, we heard that our budjet will likely be slashed 20-30%, unemployment is the highest in years, and the strawberry crop is once again in danger.
They are talking budget cuts here too V. We had to give the mayor 3 different budgets 10, 20 and 30%. If there are layoffs, I have enough seniority that it won't be an issue. One of the things they are talking about is shutting down one day a week, which means I would go from a 10 day paycheck to an 8 day paycheck
On the flip side I could save that days after school care
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning all. ROugh start to the morning here. Took Jimmy to the after school place becasue he was off today, where he promptly started with the I want to go home
. 20 minutes later I finally had him calmed down enough to be able to leave.
Driving in I had a ton of traffic to contend. A police officer was killed last week when he was hit by a car during a traffic stop and his funeral was at the Cathedral today, which I pass everyday coming to work.
Finally the city is an uproar because there is an escaped suspect loose somewhere between here and Annapolis. Get this...A private company (Like a bounty hunter...corrections) found this suspect (for Atttempted Murder) in Ft. Lauderdale. They were transporting him and 2 other prisoners back (in a van). They stopped in Annapolis and this was the last time anyone remembers seeing this guy. Mind you, nobody noticed it until they got here in Philly. Gotta love it
HAve a good day everyone
I just keep looking and looking at the picture and cant GET IT!! I`ve tried Kristals Photobucket Acct,,but its set to private. I tried entering in "clear hearts" on PB. nuttin.. (not really clear, but what else would I put in if I didnt know what it was in the first place?!
I have 4 games of golf next week, 3 are competitions, so it's got to all clear up 
The positive energy is being sent your way!
I do think V should drive up and join us. 
I had only gone to bed at 12:30, so that wasn't good sleep for me. I don't do well without good, solid sleep.
