The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 25

[UP Disney]

Well, Brother and I are back from the vet. My kitty died today. I am so sad. Brother said to me "What are you doing with your eyes?!" He has never seen me cry, because I never cry about anything. But this I can't NOT cry about. I told him I am sad about Amanda. All the way home he kept saying "Are you happy now? Are you happy now?" The vet's office was wonderful. They will call us when they get her remains back.

Now Brother is sitting on my couch watching Dora. He doesn't understand what happened - I just told him Amanda is sick and has to stay with the vet. I told Momboss we were going to the vet's, and she asked me not to tell Brother why we were going. Fair enough. Brother will miss her. He loves to come to my house to "pat 'Manda". Aurora doesn't let him pat her, so he will miss Amanda a lot.

Prayers & with all of you during this sad time.

It's a beautiful evening here. The sun is shining. Unfortunately, I have a Girl Scout Leaders meeting that I should attend. I was going to skip but the Field Executive called and asked me if I'm coming. She's a good friend so I figure I should. She even told me I can touch her belly - she's pregnant! I asked her how her bump was coming. She's a skinny minny so when I saw her a little while ago she just looked like an average size person rather than a pregnant woman. She felt the baby move for the first time this week-end.

I think I might call Disney and buy my MNSSHP tickets. It will make it real! I'm going to Disney in October and going to meet lots of my DDA friends!

 

[UP Disney]

I talked to Chuck last night about costumes for the MNSSHP. He wanted to make a Daniel Boone costume for himself. How hot is it in the evening in October? We are talking about using some kind of light brown cotton material but I want to make sure it won't be too warm for him wearing long pants. Then there is the situation of whether I think I should match him or just make a costume that I'd like to wear.

You all are making me sad.....Jimmy and I were discussing that I could go...then we got the house....so it's now out of my budget...though I do keep looking.

But I am happy that so many of you do get to go!! You all are going to have so much fun!!

 

[UP Disney]

Hey Crazy Lady (yes, that means you Theresa), do you have time to make/print scrapbook pages before your trip? If not, would the girls enjoy having them? If so, I'll take care of printing them for you. Between Bernadette, Clare's and my pages, I could print out quite a few for you. What size would you want? I think mine & Clare's are 6x4.

It would be great if you could but totally understand if you can't. Don't stop looking just in case! Don't know if you would want to but Chuck offered the extra bed in our room for any of my DDA friends. I'm not sure how comfortable any of you would be with that but the offer is out there. However, Chuck does snore!

Hi Lindsay! Of course we missed you

Look forward to hearing about your trip!

Hi, everyone - did you miss me?

I would be happy to contribute to this, too. I have plenty of 6x6 cardstock here. I could trim it to 6x4 to keep it consistent. If you want me to do some, PM me a list of characters to take care of and any special wording that you are putting on them.

Elizabeth I am so sorry

Well, Brother and I are back from the vet. My kitty died today. I am so sad. Brother said to me "What are you doing with your eyes?!" He has never seen me cry, because I never cry about anything. But this I can't NOT cry about. I told him I am sad about Amanda. All the way home he kept saying "Are you happy now? Are you happy now?" The vet's office was wonderful.

That is very nice of you and Chuck! I wish that I could make that trip, but finances, family, and preschool (but mostly finances) prohibit for me, too. By the way, I hear that I snore pretty good sometimes.

Good recap Theresa

Welcome Back, Lindsay!!!

Elizabeth is having a heck of a time with Momboss and trying to find a new job and she is going to have put one of her kitties down today.

Robyn took Molly in yesterday for testing for the reflux. Molly was a trooper and we are hoping the test results are back in soon.

Vicki is crazy busy at work.

We are celebrating all of the weight loss and the fact quite a few DDA'ers have to get new clothes this year!!

We have 2 in Disney right now and a couple more getting ready to go.

Various games and school activities are keeping the DDA moms busy.
Our kids are growing up so fast as shown by the spring pictures we have
seen.

Janet paid her first mortgage payment yesterday and Friday I close on my little house!!

 

[ellenbenny]

Sorry I haven't been on much lately, just keeping busy at home mostly. I have been doing a lot of sewing, and taking a photography class one night a week, on top of working. Also, we finally got to babysit our granddaughter on Sunday, so that was a real treat!

Prayers and PD for all that need it. Especially to Tia and family for the loss of your grandma, and to Elizabeth and family on the passing of your dear kitty. I'm so sorry. to you both.

Sorry if I missed anyone else, I tried skimming, hopefully I didn't miss anything too important.

I am glad dadboss knows what is going on! Glad to hear you got it all figured out.

When I got to work this morning Momboss said she spoke to Dadboss and he told her his understanding of our agreement is the same as mine - I get Wednesdays off permanently. So if I have to work Mondays and Wednesdays over the summer they owe those mornings back to me the weeks the kids are in camp. Momboss said Dadboss told her he had no idea how she got so confused, but what I was saying about the schedule was correct. So that's nice, and that gives me hope that my vacation will be paid even if I don't work any more days beyond Aug. 10. Dadboss is very fair about business, so I trust him to honor our agreements.

Robyn I have no advice, just wanted to give you some

Now the question is how do I tell Emma that her Baba has left and we probably won't hear from her again. It will break her heart. They are very close. Molly, while she loves Baba, really won't understand. Eric is devastated that she left like she did, even though he understands. I am sad too as I loved spending time with her and that she won't be here to see her new great granddaughter. She is the only one member of Eric's family that treated me as I was a real member of the family.

Any advice?

Sounds like you had a nice but exhausting weekend!

Wow! It feels like I've been gone for weeks! You guys were really chatty all weekend. I had a really nice weekend with my family. My cousin was married on Saturday morning, and it was really nice. Her mother (my favorite aunt) passed away 2 years ago, so it was really emotional. It was hard on my uncle to see his youngest get married, and it was really hard on Robyn not to have her mom there with her. Lots of tears, both happy and sad, were shed.

I just ordered my Pirate & Princess Party tickets for the 5 of us on 8/24!!!!!!!!!

And my ticket for MNSSHP with the DDA on 10/18!!!!!!!!!

 

[tinknme]

That's sweet that they missed you. And I think the sign of a great teacher!!

 

[yellowfish78]

Janet did you get my PM?

Glad the Mother's Day Tea was a success! Maybe you can take a break now & relax.

The Mother's Day Tea at preschool went well today. The kids kind of sang and signed their songs, though I think there was more of me singing than them. I tried to keep it quiet, because I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but they needed to be able to hear me or they would have all been on different parts of the songs.
