The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 18

[Blueeyes101817]

I brought Alyssa home from preschool and she proceeded to tell me that she didn't like where I put the tree this year. Usually it is in the front room, but I decided to put it in the family room this year so we could enjoy it while we sit and watch tv. When it's in the front room we never see it. I explained this to her, and then in her best 4 year old home makeover voice, she tell me to put the tree where the rocking chair is, move the rocking chair to where there is currently an end table, beside the love seat. You know, she actually might be right. Who knew?!

Wow..very smart! wonder if you will like that idea better!

Good morning DDA!!!!!!!

Live from OKW. Sorry guys, but size matters. Kevin and I moved here from SSR last night. We have a one bedroom villa. O M G. We are right on the golf course. Between two lakes.

I don't know if anyone posted abut the wedding, but it was super! So much fun!!!! The words that Vicki chose were so moving. It was a blast.

Meeting all of the DDA ladies and their families was a blast too.

I could go on and on but we haven't had breakfast yet and it is almost time for lunch. We've got to get to EPCOT.....

MVMCP was wonderful. Everything I dreamed it would be...

The CP with Rita Moreno... Holiday Illuminations, the Osborne Lights, the Studios Holly Day parade...Holiday wishes.... the Fireworks cruise, regular Wishes... the MK MVMCP parade!! everything we've experienced was just like I dreamed it would be. I can not tell you how happy I am....


Well, we're off. Depending on what time we get back to the villa tonight, I will try to come back and elabortae. But know that we are having the time of our lives!!!

Remind me where you guys started off staying. How do you like DVC? I can't wait to go on our first DVC trip so please share what you have learned.

I'm kinda freakin out here. I think I hear mice in my bedroom walls. This isn't the first time, but I had dismissed it as the wind blowing something outside. Today I heard a lot of noise and looked outside to see no wind. Chris will be setting traps in the attic, garage, basement and camper. I may have one or two in my bedroom too. I HATE MICE. We have only had them once since we built, but it has been a bad year for them around here and all the neighbors have had them. My parents put thir camper down here for the winter and my Mom went in her's the other day and found a dead one floating in the antifreeze in the toilet

Now that I've vented I'll go back to getting something done.

Only 6 more days until I'm done with work for vacation!

hey Channon!! Sorry your day is so crazy..I got your phone message..I will call you later I have to go pick up the kids in 5 minutes..Thanks!!!!!!!!!1

Wow, I guess Alyssa just has an eye for those things??? maybe she will be an interior designer when she grows up! Tammi, the kids picture with Santa is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mommykds]

HI STEFFY!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you are having a great time!!!!!!!!

 

[tinknme]

Mice freak me out too! Ours come up from the basement, but with 2 cats in the house we do not see to many. I think they told their friends to stay away lol

Oh that sounds good right now!

Olive Garden!

Okay this morning it is around 18-20 degrees. DS18 told me his heater in his car does not work.

My dryer want dry my clothes and don't have money to fix it right now.

I am behind in my work. BUT I HAVE WORK and that is a good thing.

We don't have the money to buy a christmas tree and the one we had broke.

It sure is a funny thing this MONEY business kind of like men You can't live with it and you can't live without it.

and the biggest thing:

DS6 who we have custody of asked me who his real dad is. When he was 4 months old his dad, my brother, was killed in a car accident. I started babysitting him while his mom worked afer that. Finally things in her life got so out of hand (men, drugs, etc) that I asked her for custody and she let me have him. She comes to see him about every 2-6 weeks. Never a set time just whenever she remembers she has a child. What gets me is he ADORES her.

Well he has been saying things lately about me not being his real mom. (He calls me mom and his real mom by her first name.) We have both explained to him that she had some things going on in her life and it was best for him to live with me and he seemed okay with that. BUT now he wants to know who his real dad it.

We did not intentionally not tell him about my brother but he started calling DH dad and we just never really knew how to deal with it so we thought when he got old enough we would sit him down and explain it. By old enough I was thinking in his teens. NOT.

He asked me on the way to school if his real moms latest man friend was his real dad since she was his real mom. SO TONIGHT we will have a talk with him. I sure hope he can understand this and deal with it okay. My heart just breaks for him because his real mom, although she loves him, she does not want the responsibility and it is already hurting him that she gave him away.

If you all have any advise on how to handle this just post away.

Well that is my update. Hope everyone has a great week.

Delinda,

I think talking to him & being honest (as honest as you can be with his young age( is the best approach. I also want to send you a because you are a very special person to take him in & love him as your own.
