The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 30

[mommykds]

I'm working on packing for our trip I am always done weeks ahead and this time I'm just starting. Of course with the itinerary change I need to make adjustments. I know that many of you are wearing the MNSSHP party design that has been posted. I'm assuming black shirts. What are you wearing for shorts/skorts with it? I don't think my blacks match I need some wardrobe guidance here.

Me too..I normally would be packed by now! I got some things together this morning.

My shirt is black. I am wearing black shorts with it. I haven't even compared the 2 together..black is black to me. You can laugh at my mismatched blacks when you see me! 6 more days til the party!!!!!!

Even though Stephanie and I are not staying for the party, we are wearing the design on purple shirts.

I'm putting ours on black shirts.

I think that I have most things packed now, the camera batteries are charging. I even remembered or DDE card and our AP's. Now what am I missing?

 

[my3princes]

I suppose that I should try to pick up this house some. Between me working every night and Chris spending time in his shop the house looks like it exploded or is it imploded

Good morning, DDA!
DS has no school today. We are NOT going to the State Fair (which is why he has the day off). Elementary kids had off last Friday, today is middle and high school. I don't want to go to the fair the same day as all the high school kids! And the news did a story the other day about how as long as you have your license it is FINE to bring your concealed handgun to the fair with you. Of all of the places I might go where gunfire might break out I have to sat the fair is probably #1. We're going to the zoo in Ft. Worth. DH is covering a route that just has 1 store so he might be finished early enough to come with us. Princess will be SOOOO excited to have DS along that she won't care where we go.

Hope you guys had fun at the zoo! I have a ton of fair coupons left over from last weekend (why my dad and Jonathan kept buying coupons was beyond me), and I have no idea if they'll get used before the end of the fair!

Before I go though, I have two urgent prayer requests if you all could add them to the DDA list.

First, a good friend from our CA playgroup has a little boy who just turned 5. When he was a baby we use to call him my boyfriend because he was always so attached to me. Anyway, they found out on Tues that he has juvenille diabetes. His name is Ryan and he is struggling to accept the whole blood test/insulin/no Halloween candy thing. Also, his mom, Heidi, is struggling with the initial shock of the diagnosis, guilt that she didn't notice the issues sooner and grieving the loss of a "normal" life for her son. Luckily, the doctors say they caught it early and expect him to be able to regulate things fairly easily.

Second, and even more scary...Brendan's mom's boyfriend (been together 5+ years) was in a motorcycle accident sometime yesterday evening. He has at least one broken arm and probably two. The worst though is his leg. The doctor said that he has an 80% chance that he will lose his right leg. They should know better today what the prognosis is and their next steps. Terry is in his 50s, I believe, and loved his motorcycle. A very nice man and so good for Brenden's mom after the rough life she had with his dad.

Thanks everyone! My continued for everyone here. I'll catch up this afternoon.

Prayers, and for your friends, Tia.

Denise, you have great instinct when it comes to Rees. If you feel you need to push then you should push real hard and get in the doctor's faces if needed. Tomorrow is the weekend and something needs to happen today to help you all through

Well said, Deb. I hope you guys get some answers today, Denise!!

I was able to find a black t-shirt to put mine on the other night. I, too, am wondering what I'm going to wear with it - when I've worn black tees in the past, I've always been able to pair them with jeans. Unfortunatley, at this time of year, I'll swelter! I'll have to check to see if my black capris match - if not, I'll go shopping!

Me too..I normally would be packed by now! I got some things together this morning.

Anne Marie, I won't laugh at your mismatched blacks if you don't laugh at mine!

Tia, good thoughts for your friends.

Yep!
The "little" boy from my first job has diabetes, but he was diagnosed after I worked with him. I left that job when he was not quite 3, so he was probably 4 when he was diagnosed. Anyway, he turns 13 this month and he's doing great! I hope your friend's little guy adjusts quickly!
Good thoughts for Terry, too!

Lindsay - I hope you guys had fun at the fair! We haven't been to the fair for several years. Mainly because it is the same stuff over and over, except the cars. And it costs nearly as much as a day at Disney! Plus I prefer to go during the week (NOT on Fair Day) which means DS would miss out.

Well, we didn't go to Ft. Worth today. My friend was the one who REALLY wanted to go to Ft. Worth but she called this morning and said she has some sort of lump on her leg that is infected and she has to go to the Dr. So we just went to the Dallas zoo where we have a membership. It is also MUCH closer. Princess fell asleep in the car coming home but I was able to get her into bed without her waking up all the way.

I got stomped on my auctions today. I won ONE measly pin. We'll see how I do over the weekend.

Bad day, Karen?

 

[lovespoohbear]

my "boss" called about an hour ago and said that his mil will be doing my job so i dont have a job anymore and i just f****** got another phone line put in for this job. i am so pissed now because he was someone willing to give me a chance. no one else wants to or will hire me so i guess i sit on my butt the rest of my life.

 

[lovespoohbear]

i forgot to say that later tonight or tomorrow i'll be headed to austin for the weekend

 

[my3princes]

What's up?

Oh no. That is so unfair of him. Why didn't MIL do it from the beginning? You'd think that he would be more responsible than to hire someone and fire them before they even start. I know that it doesn't seem like it now, but someday the perfect job will come along. I believe that God doesn't close one door without opening another

That stinks! I am sorry. Hope another job comes along soon.

exboss's wife went to a workshop and mil went too. she decided she wants in so she is moving in with them and she'll be doing my job. they didnt think this was going to happen. when one door closes 6 more other things go bad too. so far i have called the girl i liked to take night time position and she said shed train and then see if she thought she could do it. well why the f*** did you interview then.

That sounds just as bad as the pumpkin spice cappuccino we sell at work during holidays.

[my3princes]

I just packed the boys clothes for while we are gone. It was much easier packing for them than it was for us. Of course if I forget anything for them they are only 10 miles from home
