The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 4

[tink2020]

Just wanted to post a quick thanks for the and . I'll still need it over the next few weeks/months, but did just set a bunch of interviews with hopefully some promising replacement candidates, so I'm feeling a little better. I'm also going to see if I can't beg/cajole one of my former assistants (who is now a 4th grade teacher) to come back and work with me however many/few hours she wants this summer, just to have someone around that knows what she's doing, and to commiserate with. She's at least still a good friend to me.

Paula - here's some further and for you and your family - this definitely doesn't make my troubles look like much! I hope there is good news on your SIL soon.

Tia - are you SURE you don't want to move to Texas? Marci and Lizneybrooke and I will take you for REAL margaritas!

Glad to feel those of you feeling poorly might be on the upper swing.

Kristine - you were cracking me up with your mammary update! I needed that. I think you did a great job on the shirt, BTW.

I'm so glad today was at least a little brighter for you! Hopefully those candidates (and your friend) will allow enough help for you to get away for you dad's birthday, and have a little extra time at home for you and your DH!

Paula-my prayers are with your family.

Kristine-I love your shirts!!!

Lindsay- Hope your interviews work out and you get some great folks to help you.

Theresa-sounds like you could use a bit of extra too.

Kate-hope all went well with the Dr.

Amy-LOVED the photos! Looks like a great party.

Kristin-LOVE all your new designs-especially Pooh & Tigger

Just enough time for a drive by posting here....

Paula - keep your chin up - you can always come here to vent... heck, its cheaper than a shrink

To all my other buddies - still feeling lousy and will be turning in early tonight. Good news on Paul's MRI - no tear in his shoulder and that means no surgery. He will continue with physical therapy. He still feels lousy too - so we're going to sleep early tonight. I would have said going to bed early tonight - but I know how you people get!!!

Later!

I couldn’t take it anymore and needed a break from the phone so I figured I would read a bit from the DDA.I want to say thank you all so much for the PD and prayers.



Some one give me authorization to slap my MIL!!! She is so on drugs!!!!!

First she didn’t want to go to MI because she wanted to wait for Easter break (she is a teachers assistant at a Catholic preschool) and its $200.00 cheaper if she waits 14 days to buy her ticket. (ARE YOU KIDDING ME!) Did she miss the fact that her daughter has a tumor and things don’t sound all that good. DH said it doesn’t surprise him, because we only live 2 ½ hours way and she doesn’t come to visit our girls but maybe MAYBE once a year.

We just got info that SIL in MI is not having the tumor taken out today; the surgery is for a shunt to relieve the pressure on the bladder and spine.

Everyone has asked her to come home so we can all see her and help take care of her. She said NO because she thinks everyone should come out to her and take care of her at her house. (Oh the Drama) I know she is drugged up, but is she crazy! Get real!!!! Oh, yes everyone will take time off work and spend lots of money to go to her house and take care of her. Please! She doesn’t have full custody of her two children and the fathers (yes that was plural) are being very nice about things right now. She could very well ask for special permission to bring the kids to California for a while during her recovery (if recovery is an option). I would think the courts and the fathers would agree to that.



Calgone take me away!

So I have to tell you all that I am crying while I write this, because I can’t get over what wonderful people you all. I only have a few good friends in town (in the military your friends always move away) and they are out of town right now. But you all have taken me in and befriended me and you give a rats ____(insert work for donkey) and we have never met in person. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough, but it’s all I have for now.

Marti- did you get anything in the mail today?

I'm back! That's ok, I know you didn't miss me. But there is no way I'm gonna be able to catch up on three weeks worth of posts!

So, to keep the addiction going:

Just wanted to share a new jpg I got in an email. Use it well!!!

I hope everyone is doing good! I'll try to catch up tonight!

Paul is NEVER down - and he's been in bed all day. Here's the bad news: Matthew "debuts" as one of the three little pigs in his school play tonight. When I told him daddy was sick - he had this look of horror on his face. His eyes welled up with tears and he said "Daddy isn't going to be there?!" and I told him it would take a lot more than a little cold to stop your daddy from being at your school play. So the big lug is in the shower now....

what we do for love!

I sure hope Paul feels better very fast.

YIPPEE!!!
That was fast! You must be even more wonderful that we all thought you were (which is a hard feat!). Congraulations!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I had a good feeling about you all day today! Congratulations!

 

[kc10family]

All right I have caught up!!

I am sorry I missed posting these on the actual days but I thought of you all:

Happy Anniversary TripleFig Household!!!

Many more happy years!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Alyssa!!

Sounds like the party was a blast!!

I spent quite a bit of the weekend crying...seem to be doing that an awful lot lately!! With my grandpa flooding the basement(third time in just over 2 years) we took this as the straw that broke this camel's back. We are holding on to our ressie's for right now for July for WDW but it looks like we are taking that money and moving out of my grandparent's house instead. So Glynis expect to see my family in UT this summer!! The girls were so sweet and said this way we could meet some of mommy's DDA friends.
We wanted to go to the mountains on Sunday as it was such a beautiful day....we stopped for lunch and by the time we got back from lunch the car had a 5 foot puddle around it. So we had about 5 hours and a dead cell phone before we could get a hold of anybody to come and get us. . Thankfully the car was inexpensive (when they changed the oil they didn't put a plug all the way back in) and didn't happen to us as we were driving it.
Then poor Abi had been contrary all day Sunday and we figured out that she had a bit of Clare's lurgy so she and I stayed home yesterday. She is still home sick but I left her with grandparents as I had to at least pretend to work today.
So ends my tales of woe thanks for sticking with me!!

Oh I am so sorry to hear all of this. Best wishes finding a house that works well for you and you family. I will pray that you can still go to WDW in July, strange things can happen.

Sorry about your MIL. I can sympathize, I have a doozy of a MIL as well.

As for us, well, honey, you're stuck with us! Once you join in the DDA addiction, you are one of us for life! Just get used to people being worried about you and caring about how you are feeling. It's been the best thing in the world for me lately. This group is the best!

 

[kc10family]

Yes, you did! Break a leg, Matt. BTW, here's my 3 Little Pigs when they were just over one year old. They HATED the hoods, but they were so cute!





We're wearing Kristin's shirts for our trip. Me-Daisy, BK-Minnie, John- Goofy, Rees- Donald, Davis-Mickey. I think they'll look great together!

WOW!!! They are so cute!! You are "Martha"umbrella! I think I will submit your name for a sub when Martha Stewart is unable to do her show.

 

[Tammi67]

Good news on Paul's MRI - no tear in his shoulder and that means no surgery.

That is good news! Maybe this streak will contine to bring happiness to the rest on this thread that are going through troubling times.

You, stinker! Made me scroll down the page. I'm very proud of you. You're going to make a wonderful nurse, and they are blessed to have you join their staff. Congratulations, Jennifer. Kudos to you.
