The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 20

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Tammi - Shouldn't you be packing? Or making a packing list? Or something?

Elin - Thanks for the info on TGM! I think it would make things worse at this point! I keep shifting and juggling and the conclusion I keep coming to is that we just need MORE DAYS! DH HATES that I am such a park commando - he gripes and gripes that he wants to rest, he doesn't want to be running from thing to thing, he hates being on such a tight schedule, etc. DS gets grouchy and he falls asleep every time we get on a bus or a boat. We are just going to have to sacrifice some things. It isn't like we won't be back!

I am ready to give up on it being posted today

Has anyone heard when they might announce the finalists in the Audience Challenge? I thought it was supposed to be today, but the day is quickly ending.

I agree that you probably ought not to look at TGM at this point because I am not certain his touring style and yours would mesh for this trip, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth you said the key words here. You need to relax a little

- It isn't like we won't be back!

I got all the clothes washed today, and laid some things out. I'm sure I will end up doing it Thursday night after the kids are in bed. My packing list is on my computer at work. Thank God I am going back to work tomorrow!

I can't remember what brought it on, but today Alyssa said "I can't wait to go back to Disneyworld."

I don't know, but good luck to all of you.

Well, so much for my days of sleeping until I wake up on my own. Tomorrow it's up with the alarm clock, so I best get to sleep. I'm debating whether or not to use that giant piece of plastic in my mouth again. I suppose I should give it a good week and see if it helps. Have a good night everyone.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

I was hoping the polls would be up by now as well. Oh well, what can we do

Good news though, that there will be 2 winners! So even if we are not in the poll, maybe the judges picked one of us

THE JUDGES WILL PICK A FAVE AND THE POPULAR POLL WILL PICK A FAVE

AND THOSE TWO WIN THE STAYS!!!!!!!!!

but i wanna know now!!
im going to bed soon, so i KNOW ill miss it!

night, Tammi.

I am also headed to bed since I have been sleeping in. I need to go to bed earlier so I start waking up at my normal time or I am just too rushed in the mornings. It takes me a couple of hours to do all my lesson plans before I leave to teach my first class at 10:00 so I can't be a slug-a-bed until 6:45 every morning!

Have good evenings, DDA!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

I think im going to head to bed too..
My family is here from Colorado and we have had such a fun night! Not sure what tnight we will be doing things, but if im not around that is where i am!!
HOPEFULLY when i wake up tomorrow, the audience challenge results will be up--good luck to you all

have a great night, ill catch up in the morning before work -goodnight!

Elizabeth you said the key words here. You need to relax a little

I despise relaxing. It wastes time. But maybe since this will be our 6th trip in less than 3 years I will start to work some of that out of my system. It kills me to rest when the parks are open. If there is an open park we should be IN THE PARK!

But I am TRYING to put together a schedule that is more relaxed and will allow for midday breaks and later dinners. In many ways this trip will be easier than last August because it is just the 3 of us. Last August we were with another couple and I bent over backwards to be a gracious hostess. I will NOT do that again. It was too hard to keep everybody happy and I just ended up being resentful.

Good night, Tammi, Elin & Jen!

I am off tomorrow morning! It is my "comp" morning for working on MLK day. I just have to get up and take DS to school, then I can come home until 12:15 when I have to go get Brother.

Tammi - I am sure you will get everything pulled together. I am still having that "carry-on only" debate with myself, so I am obviously not anywhere near packing! Heck, there is still a naked Christmas tree in our living room since we didn't manage that storage unit visit yet!

Hopefully they will get the challenge up for us to vote on! Good luck, DDAers!

CHANON ARE YOU ONLINE?????????

I'm not yelling, just want to get your attention lol

 

[tmfranlk]

Well, I think that I need to head to bed soon as well. I really was much more productive today by staying up after dropping Phil off at 6am rather than going back to sleep until 9 or 10. I just really need to put that time to use, especially since Terra and I are starting to do more things in the afternoons. At this rate I'm not going to get anything done around the house in lieu of doing too many fun things.

Have a good night everyone!!

 

[tinknme]

Goodnight everyone!

So this business of having to cooperate with organizations for my classes is not working that well already. Doesn't my professor realize that giving the information on Saturday and needing the information back to be due by midnight on Thursday is pushing it. Well it might be ok, if I would have been paying attention and realized this before today. That is my issue with the one class.

The other one I have almost 2 weeks to find out the information but it is apparently still not enough time, as contact person never gave me the information I needed for the 1st assignment I panicked about so I think I already need to find a different organization. So now I will be behind in that class I hope I can quickly find a NPO program that will cooperate so I can get my assignment done by Monday and to also find out the info about that program for the assignment I already did as they build on top of each other.

I might be going out on a limb here, but do any of you work or volunteer or are closely involved with a nonprofit organization that has a program that needs evaluating. It can be from anywhere as somebody is evaluating an international program. It can't be really new or a huge program, should have some past statistical data to go off of. I would need weekly communication to find out information about the organization. I might not need it if I find something but as a back up.

I might just ask the organization I am working for the one class to use for both classes but I wanted to do two different so that I could work with more than one organization to see similarities and differences and so I wasn't overwhelming the org with questions.

Becky....not sure what you need but isn't a church a NPO? But I bet we could also find other things if you need!!

 

[babytrees]

and when I saw it I started singing... "Here comes the sun, little darlin'..."

Soon....very soon!!

 

[tinknme]

I think everyone went to sleep on us Theresa
