The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 2

[Cinderumbrella]

Hi ,

Just thought I would check in again. DH said to hold out for a nonstop flight rather than book the one Kate found on Travelocity since we aren't desparate yet. (Thanks for finding it! I have been checking on Expedia and $267 is the best we can do so far) Sounds like the family is feeling a little guilty so they may just come on the same dates as us and not worry about missing Kailey's bday by 1 day

Thanks for all the kind words about the potty training. I know I need to stop being a wimp and just yank the pull ups. I guess I was secretly hoping he would figure it out on his own He is in a fiercely independent mode right now. If I tell him to walk he runs, to run then he walks. My M.O. on the #2 had been not to say anything one way or the other. If I pester him, he won't go at all. If I leave him alone, he goes in his diaper at night (must be happening in the morning when he wakes up because DH goes in at 4AM when he leaves for work to make sure he is still covered and is confident it hasn't happened yet.) DH has been bribing him with the promise of Bob the Builder underwear, but first he needs to go in the potty. I think next week we will make a special trip to the store to go buy them so he can see them in the house...

Back to the Olymics and Dancing with the Stars results!!

Early bed for this girl. I thought I felt a little crappy yesterday and earlier today, but this evening I just got hit by a ton of bricks!

My sister had this bug (hopefully this one) earlier this week.... I say hopefully because it was HORRIBLE but it was just a day. Right now I'm so achy I can't stand, sit, or lie down comfortably (doesn't leave much option does it), and my throat is killing me. Denise, did you give me strep?

As soon as Kyle walked in the door I started bawling because I felt so bad! We are supposed to have our Valentine's Day tomorrow because I have an evening class (and a test) on Tuesday. I'm always more emotional when I'm sick, so I was freaking out about not feeling better for our date!

I've taken some Nyquil so that I can hopefully just sleep it off. If it doesn't work, I'll be back for some chatting. Otherwise, have a good night and I'll catch up tomorrow!

Feel better! and hurry up and get to bed- that Nyquil is bound to kick in while you are walking down the hall and you might wake up in the AM and wonder why you are in the hallway!!

You'll pass right by me on the way there!! I live in Littleton.

My high school boyfriend lives in Littleton. At least that's the last place that I knew he lived.

Tom - Welcome back. I can't wait to hear and see all about your trip. I'm glad it was magical.

I am uploading some of my pictures right now. I only took about 200 pics, but took more video. My Sil on the other hand took over 1,000 pics, so I will have her get those to me.
POR was wonderful! We stayed in the mansions section, Acadian House. We requested Magnolia, but ended up with the other. We were really close to the North Depot, and were picked up first, and with a stroller that was great. Most of the time it was relatively quiet, but towards the end of the week it started to get busier.
The parks were busy too. Some waits were over and hour, so we fast passed those.
Animal Kingdom was busy the day we were there. I think because they were doing soft openings to Expedition Everest. And yes, I did ride it! It was a blast! One of my favorite rides now at WDW!
So much happened that I will have to do a trip report later.
My DD was so cute as we were leaving this morning. She was saying, "I love you Disney World, I can't wait to see you again!" and then she blew kisses to the "World" as we were leaving. I felt so happy that she had a good time.

Life sure changes. I know in my grandfathers lifetime they went from horse carriage to a man on the moon. It is hard to beat that. However, in my life time we went from film you had to mail in to have developed to digitals that you just upload. We were lucky to use a roll of film because of the cost for special trips when I was young and you say I only took 200 pics. It sure is easier with digital!!!!! Wouldn't trade it for the world but it just struck me as funny.

That was definitely a successful trip. She is such a cutie! Keep your eye on that one. It only gets tougher as they get older!

We like to stay in Building 38 of the Alligator Bayou which is right next door to Acadia House. I'm glad you had good success with the location. Only 22 more days for me!! Hooray!!!

Leighanna got a birthday phone call from Goofy. She loved that.
She also got a signed birthday card from the Pooh gang (Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore). Pooh and Tigger danced with Leighana around the Crystal Palace. She thought she was a star.
She got a signed Magical Moments card from Cinderella at CRT. They now give wands to the girls, and swords to the boys and wishing stars to all the kids there, along with a special wishing "moment" at the end of the breakfast. It was really neat!
She also got cupcakes and special desserts at just about every restaurant that we went to. She went up on stage at the Hoop Dee Doo, and danced with one of the dancers. There were just too many magical moments to remember.

She was perfectly happy with the cupcakes and desserts that she received. We were on the Dining Plan, and with all that food, there was really no need for us to order a cake. We never ate so much in our entire life!

Hi everyone! Checking in. We just got back from the doctors office and my oldest has pneumonia. Could you all just think good thoughts for her? I hate seeing her hurting. Thanks!

. I hope she recovers quickly.

To all that asked.
Yes it was quick.
40 days total.
From start to finish.
I just let him know.
I got what I need to use against you.
Don't make me use it.
He has a history in the courts.

I received sole custody.
He has supervised visitation every other weekend.
By anyone I approve of.
We can move 60 miles or more away without informing him.

Child support will be garnished from his check.
Direct deposit to my checking.

We are still working on getting the house ready to sale.
Inside is just about ready.
Lots to do outside.

Garage sale will be next weekend 2/18-19.

As to his behavior.
He is being so nice to us.
He is making us ill.
Last night he even told me GOOD NIGHT!

Don't know what his game is.
But he is in the 3rd bedroom to stay.

Brenda,
Hope the sale of the house goes fast.
Will be thinking of you.
