The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

[julia & nicks mom]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I hope it works out! I would love to finally meet you!
Would the kids come? We could plan such a fun day in the city! Maybe do lunch at american girl? That would be great! Keep me posted.

NOPE!! Just me! We enjoyed DC so much that we are going to try to have me go on his business trips a little more often!!

But I would love to meet your kids!! Steve will be in meetings during the day - so I would be free all day!!!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Are you kidding? No. My arm is beginning to hurt. My biggest hurdle is taking Nicholas out of school. He will be out for 3 days in October and a week in May. I was lucky this past year because he was only missed 2 days for really being sick. I hope I get as lucky next year.

I just assumed my kids would be out of school that week!!!

HMMMM...think their teachers are going to be irritated with our THREE Disney trips this year?!?!!?

thank goodness it is only preschool!!!!

Besides - you only mentioned it b/c you WANT us to talk you into it!!!

Well in that case, I will leave the kiddies home & we can see the city. Count me in!

By the way, if we can handle the heat of this August (which I think we can) we will be planning our 2007 Disney trip August 19 - August 31. Hopefully you will be in town before then.

Ok, I actually did some shirts for the twins yesterday. I found some darling stencils at Michael's and thought I could use them with the spray paint technique that I did for Katie's party, without having to mess with flour and water, and peeling it all off. Here's the results. Tell me what you think.

The Pooh bear is easier to see, but Leslie wanted both blue and pink for her Tinkerbell shirt. As long as she is happy, right? I'm going to be looking for more of these stencils!!!!!

Glynnis they look cute. I really like the pooh bear.

I'm so jealous of yet another meet in January! You guys are going to have such a great time - even if some of you are running a marathon!

Who me????


I mentioned January to Dana & he just looked at me like I was nuts. We have to many expenses at the moment & Daniel's communion is this spring so we have to plan for paying for that.

Oh yeah and speaking of the move...I had some good news today. I turned in my resignation at work today and my boss called later and asked if I was willing to stay on for at least a month working from St. Louis. I had offered to stay on from there if they wanted/needed so that was good news. Now I have at least another month of income, but still get to be where I need to be physically. The best part is that is could mean the funds to swing a Dec trip! Yippee!

Congrats, Tia! It's so much easier to work for Disney $$!

 

[Tammi67]

Would I be bad if I did a Mommy trip again like in May???

 

[tinknme]

This will be the 2nd year in a row that I've been able to see Wishes on my b-day. Don't you think I need to make it a tradition?!?!

 

[Tinkaroo]

I believe that I am. I got your PM and will start working on some preliminary stuff this week!

Don't forget to add me to the list as a hopeful!

In January?

or another time?

Why don't you save your Mommy trip and come to NYC next August!!

They had to do it the old fashioned way. He has mesh in his stomach from 2 hernia operations so that prevented them from doing it laparoscopic. He's in a lot of pain, but his gallbladder was inflamed and blocked so the surgery had to be done. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. He should be able to go home on Friday.

Glad to hear he's doing better, Dawn!

We had a little what we call "weather" today....

I left work late and as I pulled the handle to get into my car, the sky opened up. I left my mirror tucked in. I had opened the window last time to flip it and gotten soaked. Lesson learned. I just used my rear view. There weren't many cars on the road. I turned the corner and heard this crack!!! and part of a tree fell right on top of my car.

I love Miss Blueberry. She saved my life again. The limb just bounced off the top and onto the road and I rolled right over it. It happened so quick I didn't have time to react at all, didn't have a heart attack or p@@p my pants. Nothing. I just pulled over and couldn't believe I was alive....

One of my staff's daughter led the news tonight. A tree fell on her house. She had just walked in when BOOM. It is resting on her roof. Sheared off her shutters and the framing over her door. Didn't penetrate her roof though. We are both blessed.

I'm calling it a night....

Glad to hear you're safe - you and Miss Blueberry!
