The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 31

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

I think that pin bag is a little more than we need. The kids probably only have about 30 or so pins between the 2 of them.

I'm glad Lucy seems to be feeling better.

Thanks Tammi!

Thanks! But I am home now!



Thanks. I told DH to go apologize.



Mine is ready to mail, does that count? Maybe if Princess is well enough for school tomorrow I can get to the post office then.



I hope Emma enjoys Scouts!



Me, too! How are you, Karen?



No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!
Your children NEED pin bags, one each, with their names embroidered on them. THEN they need more pins. Lots and lots and lots of pins to fill the bags. DS has over 200 pins in his bag and there is room for more. I am going to sit by your kids at breakfast and tell them ALL about pins.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Remind me to not let you near Emma

That's sad! You should plan a mid-August trip with them so I can spend some quality time instructing them in the fine art of pin trading.

Attention Dallas-area DDA (and anyone else interested in traveling):
I just signed up to get an e-mail notice when King Tut tickets go on sale. The exhibit opens here Oct. 2008. You can print a certificate that guarantees you will be able to purchase up to 8 adult and 8 child tickets. Since I don't know if DS is an adult or a child by their rules I put 3A/1C. I have no clue what to expect in terms of ticket prices, but at least I am guaranteed to have tickets available.

They weren't terribly expensive but I can't remember exactly how much. I so wish I would have realized the exhibit was in Philly sooner. I found out on the next to last weekend. Emma is fascinated with Eqypt right now. Every day she comes home with a new book from school. Looks like it will be there for 7 months, maybe a January trip will be in order.

It is hot. It isn't unbearable except at AK. Or if you have the unfortunate experience of hiking from the dock at CR over to MK first thing in the morning when the humidity is 95%. That was gross.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

i am calling it a day. I have had a headache all day so I am going to get off the computer and see if that helps.

Night all

Hope it goes away Jennifer. How's Virginia doing?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Good night, Jennifer! I hope you feel better tomorrow!

I have some of the same concerns but then many of the characters that we meet at Disney are larger than "cartoon" life. The mice from Cinderella are an example. I'm hoping it doesn't ruin the magic by having her available for autographs.

I cannot believe I have such mixed feelings about being able to see Tink. I am not sure I want her to talk. If she does autographs, maybe she could just do something that looks like she sprinkled pixie dust.

Is she going to speak? I think she should just "jingle" and the handler should interpret.

I am very, very afraid of August. High heat and humidity. Unfortunately though, I think this might be the last year for awhile that I am able to take Nicholas out of school. Next year is an SOL year. I do want to be able to take a nice, LONG vacation like you, Deb and Anne Marie. I think it was Anne Marie who said she wants to forget her address and phone number. I like that philosophy.

Yup!

 

[Glynis]

I'd take them, but the chances are slim! We only put in 2, so one of them would have to divide just like in a normal identical multiples pregnancy... and I have NO genetic predisposition for that. Still, God does have a sense of humor

Want to hear more about that sense of humor? A neighbor of mine was told she'd never have a baby of her own, so she and her husband adopted a set of identical twins. On the day the adoption was finalized, she found out that she was pregnant! So exciting, right? They had their ultrasound, and found that they were expecting quadruplets!!! Now, that's a sense of humor!!!

have a great night all

So I thought I had everything that I needed to mail out my ornaments. I went to Target today and picked up mailing envelops and boxes. Then I got home and realized I need one more thing. So they are going to have to wait another day or so. Sorry!

Guess you didn't get my name this year!

Doh! If I had ordered all of my Disney Store stuff from Disney Shopping I could have saved another $8. But some things are just not worth $8, like returning it all and ordering it online.

DH is furious at DS because someone got DS's lunchbox today and kicked it, which broke open the container of applesauce he didn't eat. DS has a loonnnng history of very bad luck with lunchboxes and DH needs to shut his half-wit piehole. In elementary school kids would take his lunchbox to torment him. It got thrown in the trash, it got thrown in a mud puddle, and each time he had to go fish it out. Each time DH would yell and scream at him when he got home. SO DS started to carry his lunchbox around at recess because he was terrified of getting in trouble. Stupid DH. One day the teacher got on to him for carrying it around. She told him to put it down and go play. Well, do you obey the teacher and risk getting screamed at by your father? I ended up having to conference with the teacher over it because DS completely FREAKED OUT. So today DS was playing with his friend after lunch and someone kicked his lunchbox. DH apparently wants him to NEVER leave his lunchbox unattended. It isn't luggage at the airport, for crying out loud! Leave him alone! DH needs to get a freaking life. I am SOOOOO angry that DH thinks this is DS's fault. Only DH would BLAME DS for what amounts to being bullied. If I need to buy a new lunchbox for DS I will - I don't blame him for leaving his lunchbox "unattended" while he went to play.

I also had to call the attendance office yet again because they told DS they didn't have the fax from the Dr. They had it yesterday! Where did it go? They still have it. I swear the attendance office is a creation of the devil. The lady told me every absence is entered as "unexcused" and then they change the status to "excused" AFTER they have written PROOF. Guilty until proven innocent. And this is the procedure that will be in place until he graduates from high school. Great.

Deb - Glad Nick's conference went well!

Tammi - I think I forgot to tell you I am glad your conferences went well, too!

That is ridiculous. Kids can be so mean to other kids and even when they aren't intentionally being mean that don't think. Maybe buy DS a fabric lunchbox. That is what my boys have. They can be kicked, thrown, dropped in mud, whatever. We just throw them in the washing machine and they are as good as new. A must have for boys I hear they sell the fabric ones on Disneyshopping

Thanks! But I am home now!



Thanks. I told DH to go apologize.



Mine is ready to mail, does that count? Maybe if Princess is well enough for school tomorrow I can get to the post office then.



I hope Emma enjoys Scouts!



Me, too! How are you, Karen?



No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!
Your children NEED pin bags, one each, with their names embroidered on them. THEN they need more pins. Lots and lots and lots of pins to fill the bags. DS has over 200 pins in his bag and there is room for more. I am going to sit by your kids at breakfast and tell them ALL about pins.

I bought ONE pin bag for the whole family. We will just carry our traders in it. No need for one for each of us. The kids already have binders that they keep the keepers in.

It is hot. It isn't unbearable except at AK. Or if you have the unfortunate experience of hiking from the dock at CR over to MK first thing in the morning when the humidity is 95%. That was gross.

Running from CR to MK in a complete downpour is much worse Trust me on this one.

Good thing it will be our last day!!!

After this I have no idea when we will be going again. No plans. Nothing in the works.

Not a fun feeling, is it? I have no idea when we are going back either.

 

[PNO4TE]

time for bed here... glad everyone's kiddos are doing so well in school! WTG, you guys!!!
