Well, the rain's supposed to return to Cincy later today (boy did we have a storm last night), so we're going to try to run some errands while the sun is shining. I'll hopefully be back at naptime (no repeats of yesterday's trip to the doctor!) to catch up!

Thinking of you all!
Amy :)

UGH! Yes we did :sad2: I'm getting sort of tired of it!

Kyle (who is done with med school!!!) and I are taking Cassi to Kings Island tomorrow for Math and Science Day, so I hope it stays dry!
 
:cheer2:
Happy Birthday Beth!!​

Happy Birthday Lee!!​

Hope your day is filled with sunshine, fun and love!!!

POFQ. We stayed there in October, standard view. It was nice. We ended up with a courtyard view. It was nice and quiet. Short walk to the pool, laundry, main building and parking lot. I think we were in building 4. I wouldn't pay extra for a water view as the grounds are wonderful no matter where you look.

I think that I am feeling better today. Since the aches and pains keep moving I feel strange going to the doctor with no specifics. It is probably the low pressure system that has been sitting over Vermont the last week plus. I really feel fine other than moving aches and pains. If it gets worse again or other symptoms develop I'll get to the doctors. We have crappy insurance so I really hate to go for anything, especially if I don't think that it's treatable. I did promise myself that I would get a yearly exam this year as I haven't had one in 3 years, which is the new standard anyway.

I spoke with Hunter's teacher this morning and she had just finished his state reading assessment and she was so happy with his results. It seems that he tested way above the standards and was in the top band. I'm so proud of him and am actually impressed that he has started reading for enjoyment in his spare time. He has a science fair project due next Friday so we will be working on that this weekend. He is going to make various sizes of egg drop protectors using upholstery foam. The teacher suggested that he make 3 different sizes and we will test them from different heights. We already have an 8" cube made. We'll probably make a 6" cube and a 4" cube. If the 4" cube protects the egg we might have to make a 2" and test that too. Nick has a big project due on Vermont. He has chosen the Maple Syrup industry as his topic which make sense as he already knows tons about it as we have done it for years. I know that I took a lot of video a couple of years ago, but I've got to find it and hope that we took video of all the steps, otherwise he'll be making a scrapbook or brochure of some kind.

The second weekend in June we are camping and they are having a themed weekend. The theme is Mardi Gras. One of the fun events is a costume contest at the Mardi Gras dance on Saturday night. Last year I won first prize. I had a short black dress with green, gold and pink diamond patterns in the front with a mask that I had made. I wore hot pink heels and thigh high fish net stocking which sealed the deal for the dj who apparently had a thing for fish net stocking :rotfl: :rotfl: They give free nights camping as adult prizes and small gift certificates for kid prizes. Prizes go to the top 3 adults and top 3 kids. So I put my thinking cap on today to see what unusual ideas I can come up with. This is what I have so far. I think I'll have Chris wear some brightly colored shorts and a tank and make him some "beer goggles" and put a lampshade on his head. I was thinking of using plastic beer mugs for the goggles with picures of a beautiful "10" woman taped to them. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but what do you guys think? I'm thinking of wearing one shoe and a table cloth with lots of Marid Gras Beads :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Any suggestions on what kind of table cloth would be obvious and Marti Gras looking? I think one of my kids could go as a boombox. That would be easy to make using a box. He could even have music blaring. Colby wants to be the bee hive so I might have to add beads to the bees or something to add a Mardi Gras feel. I haven't come up with anything for the third kid yet. So please anyone not on their way to WDW could you give me ideas/opinions. I am trying to do this without buying much as it doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money for one night.

We are doing a Hawaiian Luau at the same campground in July. I thought we were going last year, but got the weekends mixed up. I had made the costumes so I will be able to use them this year. Chris is a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Oil, Hunter is a Palm Tree, Colby is a blue sparkly fish, I am a Tiki God Totem Pole and Nick is a Bear in a grass skirt. Those are all done.

Thanks for reading this long winded post.

Deb
Yay Hunter!

I'll think about the Mardi Gras ideas for you. Each float/parade usually has a theme and everyone dresses to the theme, so you could all do that. Spectators dress up in anything...nuns, babies, lots of things I can't mention on family boards ;) ...
 
Sending hugs and pixie dust to all of you and for those May 18th WDW folks, have a good time, I wish it was me. I've been uber busy trying to get things done around here.

I happened to see this and thought of some of you.

Check out this site about someone's Pal Mickey Adventures.

Hope everyone is well. Have a great weekend.

So some of us thought they were obsessed with Pal Mickey, check this out.

Hope everyone is well. Have a great weekend.

Hey that's the site I sent Vicki to when she was looking for clothes for her Pal Mickey!! :lmao:

Had she not started getting clothes for her Mickey mine would have been fine staying in his tux but NOOOOO, when he found out his friends got to go less formal he put up a fuss!! :rotfl2:

I have terrible sinus problems so I feel your pain (literally ;) ). I have had 2 sinus surgeries and I don't know if I'd recommend it or not. I guess it depends on your particular situation. I don't think I had any other options.
PM me if you want details.

As for now, I'd recommend antibiotic and cortisone shots. What meds are you taking? It takes me quite a while to start feeling better on oral meds only. Allergies trigger a lot of my sinus infections, could that be your problem too? Also a prescription nasal spray should help, though it takes a while to start feeling better on that too. Other than that I'd recommend irrigating your sinuses. It can be uncomfortable but does help.

PM sent!t hanks
 
Happy Birthday Beth

Happy Birthday to your DH Clare! Where did your pictures go in your sig?

rosiejo said:
It's DH's birthday today, poor thing has to spend the day digging out our garden! :cake:
 
Wow that is wonderful news Elin! Congratulations to Kristin :cheer2:


PNO4TE said:
Kristin got her grades last night and I am delighted for her. Five "A's" and one "B." That means Dean List again this semester. And even more important to our finances, the continuation of her scholarship!

Well I win the doofus(sp) of the month award. :blush:




Is any DDA'er going to Disneyland soon? Yes I know Tia just left but I forgot that I wanted a pair of Mickey ears for my build-a-bear until just now. :rolleyes:

I will of course send you the money for the ears and for shipping.

I knew I should have logged on while I was gone! If there isn't anyone else to do it soon, let me know. I can get my friend to run by and pick them up. I think the Ears set is $10-12. It comes with a Mickey or Minnie shirt (red or pink sleeves/collar, white shirt with Mickey logo), Mickey gloves and ears. Terra was excited because we got her a Jessie costume for her bear. We have Woody and Buzz already so this finished up the set. Though she does want me to find a Stinky Pete costume for her next so I'm not sure how that will happen. :teeth:
 
Wow Dawn I did not realize your due date was coming up so soon! Sorry to hear about your fall, you & Amy need to be a little more careful :thumbsup2

I had a Dr's appt. Tuesday and everything looked good except I failed my glucose screening by 2 points :mad:. I have to go back for the 3 hour test early next week. I tested positive with Christopher (but never had any problems from it) so I see lots of finger pricks in my future. The nurse also called me yesterday to tell me I'm anemic but that's an easy fix. The good news is that my blood pressure is holding steady and my Dr. is really pleased with it. I was on partial bedrest with Christopher at 25 weeks and full (partially hospitalized) bedrest at 33 weeks...so I'm encouraged that I might make it this time!! I'm still holding on to my goal of being ready for the baby by June 1st, just in case.
 
A friend that I worked with had to have this surgery. If we are talking about the same surgery she said the worst part was having her nose packed. Here is some :wizard: hoping that surgery will not be needed.

My sinus infection will not go away and its driving me crazy!! i went to the ear nose and throat dr and he gave me "super strong medicine" and its not helping..my stomach is very queasy and im tired of it! i go for a ct scan next tuesday and then back to the ENT june 13..He said he may have to do sinus surgery or something if this medicine doesnt help..has anyone had surgery on their sinus before? was it horrible? Im such a medical chicken!


have a great day!
 
Got this from my boss this morning. He is great!! He knows that I've been upset with some things coming down from upper management that we just have to wait to fail before they ask for our input and then we can get it done right. It is just so hard for me when we could give them the answer if they would ask and save a lot of pain in the process. Anyway, many of us aren't happy at work right now so he sent a mandate that we had to open & follow the attachment. Gave many of us a much needed chuckle this morning.

ETA: modified some wording to make more DISboard appropriate.
