The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[UP Disney]

All right you all I am trying something in my house today....I don't know if any of you with older kids have gone through this. I sat my family(hubby included) down last night and took them to task for not doing their chores even though these are the ones they all agreed upon. I don't expect my house to be spit spot but I was getting tired of nagging my Saturdays away while doing laundry for 4 people!! So I told them I would not nag them today and in fact after I get off the computer I am not even going to be in the house.....need to leave the house because they keep coming in to ask me what they need to do next!! But if chores weren't done there would be consequences....help me on that part!!!

It has to be done every once in a while. They need to realize that there are consequences when they don't help out. It was always very hard for me. We are here for you if you need us.

Kate that is so awesome. Glad to hear Julia is on cloud nine about her belle letter.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

Chanon-continued prayers for you and your family.

Kate-LOVE the new designs-I think Tink is my favorite. Julia's letter gave me goosebumps so I can understand your tears.

 

[tinknme]

This is still on my to do list!

I would love to SEE this parade!!! I think we've seen it once many moons ago, but each time we try to see it now they we are real lovers of Disney - it rains the day we are in Animal Kingdom.

To cute

I made one last very quick design (one of the main reasons I was an hour later leaving for our trip than I wanted to be). Becky had asked me to make this for her to put on a hoodie and I'd forgotten. I threw it together very quickly. It looked very nice. She got more notice with this one than the family one.

Hope Nick is feeling better soon

so - my sweet little boy has a double ear infection and a sinus infection

 

[ReAnSt]

I really have become the world's biggest idiot. I stopped at the "Nicky ********" and pondered for a few seconds what bad word Nick thinks your last name is.

I better head up to bed. I have lots of cookies to bake tomorrow!

Goodnight! Sweet dreams and lots of that everyone has a great weekend!

Amy

That's alright Amy at first that is what I thought as well. Because I got stuck at the stars and didn't continue reading. Once I read the rest I realized why the stars where there.

Wow Denise! Sending you extra doses of Hope the meds kick in quickly

Just home. I have an ear infection, sinus infection, bronchitis, and horrible pink eye. she gave me an oral steroid, oral anitbiotic, steroid/antibiotic eye drops, cough syrup, decongestant, and my asthma inhaler. Geez! Teaching preschool can be hazardous to your health!

I'm still teaching my class tomorrow. Send PD that I make it through 9 hours of lecture...

 

[tinknme]

OMG Denise! You are a walking pharmacy! And steroids for the eyes??!! I hope you don't end up looking like this..

 

[tinknme]

Can these be used with a Tracfone? I would love something different, but do not know a thing about adding ringtones.

this is where I got the rigntones - warning it could be addicting!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

Would you like to see a grown woman crying?!?!? I can't even beleive this:

today in the mail there was a large envelope from WDW for me - I had no idea what it could be - inside was an envelope that said "for Julia" and inside that envelope was a picture of Belle in her gold dress - signed; a collage that I had made of Julia and Belle and given to Belle the last time we rode the tea cups with her which she had also signed and a handwritten letter to Julia from Belle - here is the text of the letter:



okay - I think I might stop crying sometime today - Julia is on cloud 9!!

That is too neat. I love how your Belle continues to spread the Disney Magic.

Pediatrician just called. BK's strep culture came back POSITIVE. And she went to school today... Boys have to go in tomorrow to get checked for Strep as well.

DH just called. His car is broken down. We're going to pick him up. That means no car for him this weekend, and I have to go to work tomorrow early. ARRRGHHH! How can it all fall apart so quickly?

 

[tinknme]

I wish I could stop eating sweets, such a bad habit for me

Sounds scrumptious! Makes me wish I could eat sweets again!

 

[tinknme]

Oh this sounds yummy!

Don't knock the corned beef and cabbage. Mine is cooking as we speak, and I just took my Irish Soda Bread out of the oven and it is smelling very yummy here. In the fridge is a pistachio eclair dessert that I won't be able to eat, but I'm devouring with my eyes. You should give it try!

 

[tinknme]

Glad I still have a few more years before this.

My "baby" with his new baby!

2 new gray hairs have already popped out!

[tinknme]

Very exciting!!! I remember those days...instead I have a 17 yr old who comes driving up in his "new/old" car in the dark without lights on. Why you ask...well, he couldn't figure out how to turn them on. I immediately went back out and gave him another lesson on all the parts of the car. God help me!

 

[tinknme]

Congratulations!

Chuck has agreed to the DVC. I just have to put the budget together to show we can afford it. I'm hoping we'll be members by the end of the summer. I'm also looking at AP's. Would we qualify for a discount as DVC members? What other benefits would we receive as DVC members that I can? I've tried looking at the budget board but they don't really have info on helping with planning trips anymore. It is mostly about discounts different places.

Thanks for any help you can provide. PM me if you prefer.
