OHHHHH - MM - maybe you could turn the bed offer into a trip to WDW Course buying the other bed would be cheaper...

Monday

Plans just changed - glad I didn't post when I read through this thread a little while ago.

Won't complain though - surveryors are coming to get additional topo info they need to finish up the site plan!!!

So....

DD is up and out
Pig is fed
DD wanted school lunch
DH is out
Watched weather
Rebooted laundry

Gots ta:

Call vet - won't be there by 10 to PU meds
Call horse instructor - dry enough to ride?
shower
paper clutter - made a dent but I think it regenerates while I sleep!
Print out Passport renewal applications
Print out new cruise ressie confirmation - I could not stand it - upgraded to different category.
PU girls from bus if riding

IF going to Madera - meds from vet? grocery store
IF not going - change dinner menu!

DH has 4H leaders council mtg tonight so he won't be home tonight - dinner with my girls!!

OH!! DD won 2nd in her division "Made with a Mix" at the 4H Favorite Foods Day with the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins!! She was so excited. Everyone loved them - she only gave up one point out of 25 for "appearance". She was beat by a castle cake. YAY! DIS recipe sharing Peeps!!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Appearance? Yes, they are ugly little things - but oh so delicious.

 

[PinballFamily]

Woo woo! Great news (on the house progression AND the winning recipe) to share!

Congrats!!! (There is room on the site plan for your scrapping wing of the house, right?)

 

[tinkryansmom]

Thanks All!

So excited they are actually doing something on the house!

And yes, though not technically a "scrap" room - this house does have an "activity" room at the end of the hall by the girls bedrooms - its just an open room with no doors. We plan on making it the homework, crafty, gamey, scrappy room!

Sigh...DH just emailed me...They are cutting his hours again. He's going back to 32 hours the second week of February. Don't know what this means for our cruise, but if he's still only at 32 hours when the airlines finally start selling in November, we may have to rethink it.

TB~ watch those kidneys and plz call dr if this persists!

Update~
Michelle (BF) kidneys and bp look good and for some reason her hand hurts which they say is a good sign.
Her next surgery is at 130 (its 1220 in AZ right now) so if you can please send a little thought her way at that time.
DH just left to go be with her DH. BFDH needs my DH to be there more than me to be there so I'll go up after kids are home from school.
I think this is the surgery where they decide if she gets to keep the leg.

OMG!! Sending P&PD for your BF!!

I just can't imagine how scary it must be for her and her DH!

Sending lots of prayers and pixie dust from all of us...

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Jennifer, sorry about your DH's hours being cut. I hope everything works out.

AR, continued prayers for your friend. That sounds so scary.

 

[ddavis860]

MM2000- sorry about the cut in hrs!

 

[PinballFamily]

Boy, not great news today - all around.

Sorry to hear that, MM - that's not an easy boat to be in. Hope that if it happens that it is of very short duration.

AR - keep us posted - hope all goes well for your friend. What a terrifying situation to be in...

 

[tinkryansmom]

Yes, AR, keep us posted!! Pixie Dust and Prayers being sent from CA.

MM - sorry to hear about the reduction in hours. I will continue to hope your cruise plans don't have to change and the reduction in hours is not a long term situation.

 

[rlovew]

AR- keeping up the prayers.
MM- I hope his hours go back up soon.

Rebecca

 

[Arizona Rita]

MM~ sending pixiedust that this is just temporary!
and that you will be able to make your cruise!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks everyone, he seems to think it's going to be short term, because January and February are usually slow months, but we'll see. I did tell him that I was going to hold off on buying tickets but he said to buy his early, cuz he's going

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Jennifer--so sorry about DH's hours!! Lots of pixie dust coming your way for it to be only temporary!!

AR--hoping your BF is doing good!!
