The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 25

I received notification from Paypal that my pins are being shipped tomorrow

Yay! That reminds me that I got an e-mail that I have a $5 rebate in my PayPal. I should go buy something on eBay (like, I don't know, pins maybe?) so I can use my $5.

Oh, dear. The family has come up to the price I told them I wanted. Now what? I guess now we will wait and see if the family from today meets all of my contract terms and go from there. It's not supposed to be THIS hard.

Ok I am embarrassed to post this 1st picture But this was taken in Oct. last year.....

This was taken today.....

Excuse the look on my face, I was walking & Gary was snapping away lol

This one I am posting, just because I like it

Can you see the difference?

Yes!! You look wonderful!!!!!!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am starting to feel kind of queasy. Depending on the exact salary offer from the family today, the difference is 35-40% higher than the family from Friday. That is serious money. And the hours are shorter by 5 per week. No, everything is not about money, which we have already established. But it is a very useful thing to have.

Some eye candy for me and you to enjoy. Pictures from the Disneyland premiere of POTC At World's End. Which I would have loved to have been at but was not.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hmmm. I should really get a monkey.

 

[ReAnSt]

Janet- You looked great before and now you look fantastic I can definitely see a difference especially your stomach and face.

 

[ReAnSt]

Oh Garrett would love that too!

Here are some pictures of the Nightmare room

 

[ReAnSt]

Oh, no! I missed it! I was watching up to the point where they said the mortgage was paid off then I walked out of the room. I think DS changed the channel after that or he would have said something! Darn!!
I am so glad you are feeling better! And I am glad they allowed you to volunteer today even though you aren't old enough!

I posted pics of the room.

My headache is coming back, I feel like I am being stabbed in my forehead and my cheeks. I took more pain killer but I will probably be headed to bed soon.

I never called them I forgot, every time I thought of it they weren't open. I kind of felt bad because it was not being honest and fair the Girl Scout way, but there is no reason a month would have made a difference. At least IMO.

Hi everyone! I'm going by memory so if I forget someone/something please don't be offended.

Becky - thanks for the eye candy!

Theresa - love your new 'do!!!

Elizabeth - isn't that the way life goes??? First nothing, and then too much. that you can come to a decision without too much agony.

Tia - welcome home! It sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I'm looking forward to pictures.

Lindsay - I'm sorry you had such a bad night. I'm interested to see how they handle your complaints.

Janet - the pictures are great. You look to be half the size you were back in October. Great going!!

Anne Marie - you have such beautiful dancers. At what age did you start putting your girls in more than one class? I know Alyssa would love tap too, but she is doing so good at ballet that I really want her to stick with it. Being only 5 I don't know if she (or I) could handle more than one class a year.

Yes!! You look wonderful!!!!!!!

Shrek was good. Not as good as the others, but still good. A lot of adult humor, just like before. Thank goodness the kids are still to young to pick up on the innuendos, but I thought some of them were hysterical.

Becky - I hope the meds work for you. Try to get some rest. I'm sure the stress doesn't help, either.

 

[Tammi67]

Debbie - the design is really cute! Good luck keeping the trip a secret.

Tomorrow unofficially starts my summer vacation. No preschool, no ballet. So all I have to do is get Nicholas on the bus. No running around! I do, however, need to mow the grass and go to the grocery store. I also told Alyssa we might go to the school and have lunch with Nicholas, so she can see what she will be doing in a few months.

 

[tinknme]

Elizabeth you are going to make yourself crazy! I feel for you

Becky thanks for the eye candy Garrett loved the JS pictures. He said just what I thought he would, he wants his room like that lol

Janet-looking goooood!!

Becky-hope you feel better soon.

Tammi-sounds like a decent Monday!!

Lindsay-sounds like a booger of a night...hope you were able to relax today.

Elizabeth-you've got some tough decisions to come to soon.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Becky - Thank you for the pics! I love that room! Probably not very practical, but it looks terrific!

Tammi - Ah! Summer! Summer starts for me on Friday, which means the kids will ALL be out of school and no camps until June 11. That's going to be a LONG stretch of days. I'm glad Shrek was good, because we are going to go see it. That's one thing about going into a job with younger kids - no more movies during the week. Brother is just now able to sit through a movie, and he fell asleep at "Meet the Robinsons". The one job has a 22 mo. old, the other job has an 18 mo. old so nobody will be old enough for movies at the theater for awhile.

Tell that to the mother that sat behind us today. The baby was fussing before the previews even started and I kept hearing them behind me say "this isn't going to work." Luckily someone did get up and take the baby out.

Just for the record - I feel asleep during Meet the Robinsons too.

Becky thanks for the eye candy Garrett loved the JS pictures. He said just what I thought he would, he wants his room like that lol

Garrett is a very clever boy!

I have no idea how I am supposed to pick between these 2 jobs. One job I would be completely in charge and have the house to myself all day with just the baby. The other job there would always be people around, but my ONLY duties would be to care for the boys and help out with some light meal prep. I told them I don't cook, but I can help put a salad together or chop some veggies to steam or whatever. I like both sets of parents, I like all of the babies. I think DS would like the people from today better because they have lots of things for him to do as far as dogs and kittens and such. Both families have pools, which DS loves. UGH! So I guess the only thing to do is see how the contract plays out and go from there.

Becky-hope you feel better soon.
Elizabeth-you've got some tough decisions to come to soon.

Becky, I hope you are feeling better in the morning!

"Tough" doesn't seem to quite cover it, but it is not going to be easy!
