The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

Ok, I am a litle slow in checking this out, but I saw a lady at Animal Kingdom while we were there the other week, and her shirt said Kate on the back in Minnie ears, and the front said something about "watch out we are taking over the World" Immediately I wondered if it was THE Kate. Today, two weeks later I finally checked Kate's designs, and they were definetely hers. So Kate, was that you at Animal Kindgom, near Expedition Everest on the 19th around 10AM?

Welcome Teresa!!

It was espescially horrible last night so I went to bed also.....and slept a full uninterrupted 7 hours!!!

Yep that was me!!!!!

I wish I had met you!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guess is "rock candy"


ooh, or those candy sticks you buy at Cracker Barrel





Can you tell I'm procrastinating again?

I procrastinate too!! But I bet you are going to do fine on your test!!

 

[babytrees]

Yeah Marci!!!

Sounds like the boys had awesome games last week.

Here's some more for the final two games!!

How's Nick feeling? I know I get more headaches in the summer due to the heat.

He doesn't complain about headaches anymore but he does this sniffing or blowing or something with his nose - that I know indicates it is bothering him - I am going to try to go see the doctor with him this week

Welcome Teresa!!

Thanks Theresa!

I've always been too intimidated by this monster thread to post anything!


I'm just kicking myself now though for not going up to Kate and the gang!

This is what we looked like: (I should thank the photographer for having Arminda stand in front of me, and putting me at an angle. I think it took off about 20 pounds!)

Good morning, DDAs!

Update on games for Andrew: Well, the DDA good wishes and PD came through again! Andrew had great games last week and his confidence soared!

Our team was in a three way tie for first. On Tuesday, we played one of the teams we were tied with. Andrew played well the first game, getting a couple of hits, and throwing out a couple of people from third base. We did end up losing by two runs.

The next game that night was against the same team. It was a protested game from earlier in the season. (The coach of this team is a horrible man and he threatened my brother, our coach, after that game.)

Anyway, we started in the bottom of the 7th inning, tied 6 - 6 with us at bat and our last batter with one strike against him and no outs. He ended up striking out. We went to the top of our order and that kid walked. He stole to second base. Next up was Andrew. I was so nervous that I turned around. I heard the umpire call a strike, then I heard the ball hit the bat and turned around to see it go foul. I heard the bat hit the ball again and again it went foul. All this time I was praying for a hit. Well, he was hitting the ball with the bat, but it was going foul. This is when I remembered Lynn's advice that she gets very specific during her kids games. I finally said, "God, please let Andrew have a hit out in the field that isn't caught." The next crack of the bat sent the ball flying over the second baseman's head. It sent in the winning run from second base. The game was over and we won. Woo Hoo! I'm so glad that I posted for PD and good wishes. The smile on Andrew's face was priceless at that point, and his confidence soared.

The game on Friday, we did lose, but again, Andrew played well.

Thanks again for all my DDA friends and their help with Andrew's confidence.

Last night, Jake had a very important game and they won. He had three awesome hits -- not bad for a seven year old. They each have two more games, so please keep them in your thoughts that they have fun and play well.

I'm wishing everyone but not too hot and for everyone who needs it!

Congratulations Andrew and Jake. I started crying just thinking of Andrew's happiness. Damn hormones.

What a cute family!!!

I hope you stick around because as you've learned we don't bite!!!

You can't find a nicer bunch of ladies (and gentlemen when we can get them to post!!) around!!

I'm probably the only one that didn't know this, but in case I'm not....Cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketers within the next few days. That means that telemarketers will be calling you on your dime and using up your minutes. You can add your cell phone number to the do not call list to avoid those calls. www.donotcall.gov (I think that is the address) It works that same at the home list. You must update every 5 years. Maybe this will help one of you. I know it was news to me and I immediately added my number to the do not call list.

What are sticks of rock?

I think she was talking about rock candy.

 

[rosiejo]

What are sticks of rock?

I wondered if someone would ask

You guys probably call them candy canes or something. They are sticks of flavoured hard candy that look like this:

They are sold at sea sides up and down the country wrapped in cellophane with the label having a picture of the seaside.

When you bite them they usually have a word inside - the name of the seaside or sometimes your name:

Hi Teresa! I think it's safe to assume that it WAS Kate you saw. She was there with a couple of the other DDA'ers.

Are you new to our group? If so, I want to say HI! Welcome to our group. If you're not new, I'll apologize for not recognizing you. Keep posting so we get to know you better!

 

[Pooh67_68]

for the headaches, hope you fell better soon. Also that potty training goes smoothly and quickly.

Happy Wednesday, DDA! I have been reading along but not posting. Between the server and my headaches, damn humidity, it seemed like a no win situation. I was able to send a few PM's but even that was a chore.

We are in the throes of potty training Molly. She has this amazing ability to strip out of her diaper at the beginning of nap and being able to stay dry until she wakes up but she refuses to use the potty. She will hold it until she has a diaper on. UGH!

So I will probably not be posting a lot until we get past this. I will try to keep up to date as I do not want to get too behind.

Here's and to all who need it!

ooh, or those candy sticks you buy at Cracker Barrel

Can you tell I'm procrastinating again?

These are more like it - although if I remember the ones from cracker barrel are short and thin - and over here they're usually about 12 inches long and just under an inch thick
