Kate and Theresa -- thanks so much for your help with the poems/clues. With those and a few I added, I'm all set! You guys rock

Julie -- I'm so sorry to hear about the difficulty with Cody and your trip getting cancelled. I'm sure that your family trip in December will be well worth it, but I know that isn't much consolation right now.

I meant to post this last night, then again this morning, but RL stepped it up of course. I got a package in the mail from Vicki yesterday, well actually Pal Mickey got a package. It is amazing. She put so much stuff together and it is truly amazing. I don't want to give too much away so you'll have to wait until you receive a Pal for a visit. This is turning into such a fun project.

Deb

Deb-

Can you PM a list of the items that Mickey got? I think Vicki added some things to the box that she won't tell me about and I want to make sure I don't send duplications!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I just got off the phone with Denise

Rees is in recovery and doing well. The endoscopy indicated that everything looked good - and now they will have to monitor the probe for the next 48 hours - either Denise or John will have to be awake and with Rees for the entire weekend - so Denise might be looking for some company in the middle of the night!

Denise sounded great and we even chatted for a bit! She is so grateful for everyone's well wishes and will pop in when she gets a chance!

Thanks for keeping us posted!!!

My house threw up on itself and DH comes home tonight for two nights (yeah!). Along with the fact that I have a bur up my ___ (the area the sun does not shine), because I weighed in this morning only to find I did not gain or loose ANYTHING!!! So that made me a bit misaligned. Then I went to Joann’s fabrics to get some stuff for one of my SSP and they wouldn’t take my coupon because the item was already on sale. (this is the first time that has happened; usually they take the item back to full price and then give you the coupon) AND the lady behind me tried to cut in front of me in line.

So I went to the donut shop and bought Elizabeth and I a donut, I also stopped a t Starbucks for a hazelnut latte and then home to the house that threw up all over it’s self.

I started more laundry (why? I have no idea. I must be rather brainless

to add more.) And the dishwasher is running. I am off to get Gabrielle at school then clean up this house.

So I have one last thing to say.

GGGRRRRR )*(&%(^

$*%$ GGGGGRRRRR )*(&^*&%($^





Oh and my girls have something for you all also.

Thank you, I feel better now.

I hope your day is going better, and that your DH will be home soon!

I think I got the funniest pm that I have ever gotten yesterday

I know I'm a pita.

it was from Heidi - she followed it up later with the rest of the pm - she had hit send too early - but her first pm was pretty funny

anyway- she was requesting my 27000 balloon design for a shirt

I couldn't enlarge the clipart - so I remade it

now it can be made with your choice of characters

You are an awesome designer!!!

I think I would have cracked up if anybody had sent me that PM.

 

[bethbuchall]

Kate, I love the balloons! I may have a few character requests.

Denise, glad to hear things went well. I hope that the next few days aren't too painful.

Julie, I am so sorry that you had to cancel the trip and that you are up to your eyeballs in stress right now.

Everyone else, I haven't really had a chance to catch up fully.

We are going to the high school production of Beauty and the Beast tonight, and the rest of the weekend is crazy with a synchronized swim meet. I probably won't get a chance to catch up for a while (and then will need the condensed version).

Have a safe and happy weekend!!!

I haven't done any Olde English except for Shakespeare - and I think he rocks! I love Midsummer night's dream and Hamlet. Haven't read a lot of his plays though so I should really go through some more.

Oh here's a funny tale.

I never read Romeo and Juliet but knew he died in it... so I went to the cinema to see the leonardo movie and spent the whole time waiting for him to die... then there was the whole death scene and I had tears streaming down my face and was so angry that Shakespeare killed them both! My friends couldn't figure out why I was so upset until they realised I didn't have a clue how it was going to end

I think that's why the plays are so timeless; you can always tell yourself that maybe THIS time Romeo and Juliet won't die. That's why they've lasted so many hundreds of years!

:scared1

Oh no Glynis - after all of your prep and being all dressed up and ready! You'll do just as great today on the recording though - and to your prof for being so understanding and helpful

I did the presentation!!! The prof. was really understanding, and great! The recording was fun to do, and he was really impressed with my presentation. I'm so glad it's over!

Good Morning Everybody;

Sorry I haven't been around lately, I have missed you guys SO MUCH!!!!

I am getting ready for Kyle's First Communion on Sunday, luckily the party is at my in-laws house but I still have a ton to do!!! I am right now as we speak in the middle of boiling eggs for deviled eggs, and potato salad, wish me luck!!! I have used all of your advice on how to make the "perfect" boiled egg and hopefully it will work!!!

Cody's care has been monumental!!! I could have never imagined all that we would have to do for him, it's like having another child!!!! He tore the top layer of sutures out over the weekend and we had to get those re-sutured again now we are back to square one as far as how long the stitches will have to be in for, he has to wear one of those hoods that looks like a lampshade 24/7 that is SUCH a pain, he has MANY meds. that we have to give him, and we are supposed to be giving him showers twice a day because he has developed a staff infection. On top of that I think he is depressed, he is SO mopey and he wants to get out of our room SO bad, we had to section off an area for him and put down lots of towels and sheets because he is still bleeding and draining a lot!!! Thanks for all of your well wishes and hopefully this recovery process will get better and he will be back to normal SOON!!!

Last night I took Carli to the pet store to get a hamster, she missed the one that we were watching for Kyle's class SO much!!!! She seems to do very well having a pet of her own, we made her sign a contract agreeing to take care of it , and do her chores around the house, and most importantly stay in her bed all night, this last one is SUCH an issue w/ her and I think having an animal in her room helps her sleep better!!! We'll see!!! She named her Maya Minnie Honey, but she decided that her nickname will be Cinderella !!! The hamster is a baby teddy bear hamster and she is actually very cute!!!

I'm sure some of you all know this, but I had to cancel my trip w/ the DDA to Disney World!!! I was extremely depressed about this this week, I was SO looking forward to going and meeting everybody!!! I have never had a trip away from my kids before, and I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to getting away and having some fun with friends!!! Sadly though it just wasn't meant to be, after all that we paid in the last few weeks for Cody, and for this party this weekend, I just couldn't go in good conscience. It was becoming a MAJOR issue w/ Dave and I, Dave said I would have to choose between this trip and our families trip in December, obviously I had to choose the family trip. Hopefully in the future there will be another trip to go on w/ everybody!!! Thanks to all of you guys going on the trip for including me in your plans and also for understanding why I had to cancel, I hope I didn't mess up any of your plans and I know that you all will have SUCH a GREAT TRIP!!!

When I cancelled the airfare I couldn't get a refund but a credit towards another flight, so I went ahead and booked our airfare for December , so at least I have that to look forward to!!!!

I will let you all know how the party and everything works out, and I promise to get back to posting regularly next week once everything settles down!!!

To anybody that needs it!!!!
To everyone else that may need it!!!!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to keep up to speed w/ everything that has been going on, so if I need to know anything let me know or PM me!!!

Julie

Julie, to you for all you are going through! I hope that Cody's recovery gets better. I admire you for all your effort in taking care of him.

I'm so sorry that you had to cancel the May 18 trip! I know how much you were looking forward to it! It's completely understandable to choose your family trip, though! We'll just have to plan another trip and hopefully more of us will be able to come next time, right?

Good luck with the First Communion and the party this weekend. I will be thinking of all of you and wishing you all the best!

Thanks, Kate! I've been wondering and worrying about her and Rees all day! Hopefully, this weekend won't be as bad for them all!
