Ya'll are so funny with your turtle talk. I have to go for now. Alex has a baseball game at 6pm and I am leaving right from work.

Everyone play nicely.

Ok, I just have to share this. I was on the a website trying to figure out some details for our trip... when I noticed the price had gone DOWN!! They NEVER go down, ever -- or so I'm told. So I call to see whats up (at the advice of a DISer) and got a $440.00 refund! Well, I don't HAVE it yet because it's being refunded to a bank account we no longer have.... but I'm GETTING one!

wow! This is for the cruise right?

Wow, so much posting, I had to take notes...

Tammi,
First I wanted to say I am sorry to hear about the crash. That's terrible.
On a happy note, I think you will be fine going from BWV's to MGM for lunch on you rmNSSHP day. I also like what Tia suggested..going to Tony's since there are no characters but you get the advantage of already being in the park.

Kate,
Congrats on 7000..This is a fun group to be part of.

Krdisneybound,
Welcome!!!

Deb,
I am just from reading your post!

Julie,
Hope Cody is home soon. I have a friend like that too..calls when she needs something or when it something for her kids. When something nice happens for my kids she can't make it.

Hi to everyone else!!!


I just got back from a nice long walk with the kids & DH. It is 80 degrees here in NY & lovely.

I just ordered cookie cutters for Kyle's Bob the Builder party!! I am going to attempt the infamous "Amy" cut out cookies!!
I ordered a hard hat, a construction cone, a hammer and a shovel.
Normally when I do these cookies, I get out my tubes and outline, then flow etc. a la Cookies by Design. This time I am going to try Amy's way with the powdered fondant and the sprinkles- I hope it takes less time than hand decorating those things!!
but I do have a Bob the Builder cookie cutter that I will probably still do the old way

Don't forget to post pictures!

No, actually we don't ALL know how to make designs. Some of us just hang out here for the friendship.

Jennifer -- yes it is!

I'm wiped. Today was good and bad. Kids had a creative movement show at school and did the balance beam, tumbling, and line dance. It was cute, and they did a really good job. Then staff meeting, then ballet. By the time I got home and had 40 minutes to cook dinner, unpack from the day... I was in a FOUL mood. I think all the stress of Rees, being so busy, didn't sleep any last night has caught up with me. Went to choir in NOT the best mood. The kids were bouncing off the walls (I teach 4 year old choir). The other teacher and I both are rejoicing that there are only 2 more weeks.

Came home and got the kids in bed. DH went to bed early. I asked if I could DIS and watch TV in bed and got the big NO. So I am downstairs in the recliner. I feel like screaming, crying, breaking everything in the house, throwing a fit. I hold it together and then I just break. So now I'm crying typing this and hating how I feel. Sorry for the ramble. I just get so freaking mad over how life is for Rees, how complicated everything always is, how much effort just normal activities can be, how hard scheduling our lives can be. It is never just a simple little life here. It is ALWAYS something. Gosh darnit, why can't some evil kid have all these problems? It is so damn unfair. I'm off to have another glass of wine. Maybe I'll relax and get some sleep.

I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way! I'm just so glad that we can be here for you, even if we are not there in person. Just remember to take deep breaths, and try to relax. Do whatever you need to in order to take care of you!

oooh! Good move.... cute kids will be hard to say no to, even for a man er... male turtle!

ETA: or not crush, you're heartless!

 

[UP Disney]

Crush, I can design but have no clue who ALL the Disney turtles are. Plus I have to go pick up my kid from track, take her out to buy some stuff for prom, take her to Karate, and pick her up again. Now, if she had her drivers license, then I would have time to sit around all day and research all the Disney turtles. Sorry!!!! The pumpkin is important to Tammi so it is important to me but my kid does have to come first!

By the way, where's the queen when we need her??!! I mean after all she is the queen of design.

 

[Glynis]

I know. But I am just so sad, frustrated. My heart is shattered into a million little pieces. I can't explain it. It's like the worst time in our lives has come full circle, and I just don't want to go through all this crap again.

Can you hold onto the fact that, having been through it once, it will be easier to get through it this time? I know that's cold comfort, but at least you know that Rees being older will work to his advantage with this, right?

If you need anything, please let me know! You can count on me to continue the prayers for you and for Rees! Sometimes that's all we can do. Just pray and trust that there is a plan in place. We may not be able to see the entire plan, but it is there, and a loving Heavenly Father is in charge and will hold Rees in His arms through this whole thing. While it's going on, let us be your strength. Come to us to vent, scream, cry, whatever, and we will hold you up through it all!

We love you, Denise! Forever and always!

And besides -- one of our most prolific designers (and most prolific turtle-talkers, ironically ) has already said she isn't giving in!

 

[Glynis]

Denise -

well if you took everyone's advice - you must be pretty stinking drunk by now!!!

I completly understand what you mean - Nancy's little girl has some special needs and I remember the day she broke her leg sitting with Nancy as she cried - "Why does everything happen to her? Couldn't it have happened to someone else for a change?" She was just so heartbroken for her DD -

I know your hurt is not about you - it is about Rees and all that he has to deal with in his life and all you want is for him to have to worry about normal 6 yo boy things!

I say have a good cry about it - you're allowed to - and then before you finally decide to go to sleep go in and check on your sweet little boy - something tells me looking at his beautiful little sleeping face will make you smile!

Good advice, Kate. There's nothing better than looking at the sleeping faces of beautiful kids!

 

[Glynis]

If you are not good friends, then I probably would not. What if she did figure out what you meant and he isn't... or what if he is and you're the one that tips her off- she might be really mad at YOU (displace the anger) and think you are being nosy/invading their privacy. JMHO.

ITA. If you were close, then, maybe. It's a tricky situation.

Hi, ladies! I haven't been on the boards for a while and I was looking for your thread...I finally found it! Great designs everyone! I am so jealous...I wish I could be as creative as all of you ladies! Ta-ta for now!
