The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

I actually have girls who aren't into dolls...instead stuffed animals EVERYWHERE!!

They are little baby dolls that are plastic and empty until you put water in them. They are heavier than a baby doll and wiggle and are more pliable. They've been around about 15 years, maybe more. Cassidy had at one point I think 4 of them. They are great....all right you caught me, one was mine!!

Amy-

I really hope your house sells fast so this running around can stop.

Denise-

adorable pics. I think that's the biggest grins I have ever seen on 3 kids at once!!

Jennifer-

hope it goes well at the oral surgeon and dr. I usually need three doses to numb my mouth...then I get a weird reaction about 4 hours later. Could be why I hate the dentist.

Paula-

great pics and my favorite is the mom sandwich.

Cassidy was really only into those babies. Abi is into Chou Chou babies, Build a Bears, any stuffed dog....the girl is a collector!!

So DH gets me an anniversary card and when I start reading the first part, I gotta admit, he is getting me a funny card, but also I know he is good for a tear jerker.

so the card starts out with :
After all this time,
I still want to...

on the inside

Have fun with you
fall asleep with you,
wake up with you,
dig deep with you,
be friends with you,
act bold with you,
make love to you,
grow old with you.



tear jerker
I love my man
probably won't get him to WDW
but I love him

How sweet!!

Have fun at the shore!!

Paula,
Nice to see you pop in again. Love the pic. of the girls and you cuddling up. My older ones don't want to snuggle as much. How I miss that, I think I'm not going to let the baby grow up than I'll still have 1 snuggler.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Okay my dentist takes one look at my tooth does some other test and says yes it must come out. but it iss a sideways impaction so it will not come out in one piece and as your a red head I am not sure I can get you numb enough. so he sends me to an oral surgeon. who then sechudles an appointment for 8:45 friday morn. the cough and shortness of breath has not gotten better. the stuff i am coughing up has color now. so I called in to work for tomorrow and will see my primary Dr some time tomorrow.
I am diaspointed as I was supposed to go to Port Aransas this weekend for my cousins baby shower.

Ouch. I hope everything goes better than expected Fri.

Today was an exhausting day. Poor Alyssa has a diaper rash, so she was rather cranky and I spent most of the day cleaning, which makes me cranky too. At 1:30 p.m. Remax called to ask if a realtor could show the house in an hour. As much as I hated saying it, I had to say no...first, Alyssa would be napping and second, I was still trying to get the house looking decent. When I told Kevin later that I said no, he wasn't too pleased, but for crying out loud, an hour's notice?!!!

So, around 5:30 p.m. I'm making dinner (the showing wasn't until 8:15 p.m. so there was plenty of time to do this) and the phone rings. Remax again...someone wants to see the house now. In fact, they are parked next door waiting for the okay! So, Kevin says fine, but please understand the animals are here, I'm making dinner, etc. The realtor was very nice and he spoke highly of the house as he walked through. They must have been out looking at other houses and decided to stop by. The man he was showing around spoke no English, and we heard the realtor speaking Spanish to him throughout their tour.

Okay, so we eat dinner, and I vacuum one more time. We lock Lucy (evil cat)up in her cage, Kevin takes Libby (dog) to the new house, and I take Alyssa to Home Depot. On my way home, I drive by at 8:35 p.m. and there's no one in the driveway. I call Kevin and tell him I'm just going to get Alyssa ready for bed. He comes home about 10 minutes later. At 8:55 p.m. the doorbell rings!!! They were very apologetic for being so late. This time it was a young woman who works at Children's Hospital. She took lots of pictures. This realtor was very nice and complimentary too. They left around 9:15 p.m. and now here I am, telling you my saga!

Though I hope the house sells ASAP, it will be nice to be all moved in to our new house and not have to worry about these showings! Whew, what a day!

Sounds like a long day. Hopefully one of the 2 will make an offer. When are you moving completely into the other house?

I couldn't resist. That woman made me with her:
"If you start wearing those horrible fanny bags you know what's next?
matching lime green shirts, bright colored crocks, elastic waist bands, socks with sandals, mister fans and bottles hanging from your belt and flip up sunglasses.....Do you really want to go there? I mean really, life is too short to walk around like that, no matter where you are."

She really thinks she's all that and has continued her attacks so now she has made me and it's all I can do not to post again!

I don't wear fanny packs but we have done the matching shirts (in our defense I don't think the green was lime ) Yep I like socks with my airwalks better than tennis shoes right now and we had water bottles and mister fans hangin' round our necks. I gues we're not going to be in the Disney Park fashion show.

Ok, Becky needs some pixiedust tomorrow. She is taking her drivers test to get her real license. She just wasn't ready before but the last couple of months has really wanted to drive and has done so every chance she could. The only thing I'm really worried about is the parallel parking. We don't have much of that here so it is hard to practice. We'll be spending a few hours practicing in the morning. I'll set some stakes up in the driveway. She spent 1/2 hour just driving down and backing up our driveway getting used to the feel of backing up. It was amazing how much she improved in just that 1/2 hour. There is a selfish side of me that hopes she won't pass but then the real mom side wants her to accomplish this!!!!!

for Becky. I remember how nervous I was about parallel parking, too. She'll do fine I'm sure.

Great pics. Denise.

We have decided to cancel our camping trip for this weekend. If you've watched any weather reports you know that New England is having a summer Nor'easter. We have had non stop rain all day. The rain is supposed to taper to on/off showers for the weekend, but we still expect a lot of rain. My brother and his family can't go as his truck is sitting in Chris's garage. He needed a lot of work done. Chris worked on it Monday night, Tuesday night and tonight. He fixed everything that was wrong with it, but when they tried to bleed the brakes a brake line broke. He will now be replacing all of the brake lines. It was a good thing that it happened in the shop and not while towing his camper. My parents were thinking of cancelling due to the weather so we all are cancelling. We promised the boys that we'd do another Home Depot craft clinic as it is our Home Depot's 1 year anniversary so they are having special events. They also want to go bowling and we all want to go see Cars. Since we are staying home I will have to work Friday night as they were really short handed without me. Oh well.

Deb

Sorry to hear about your Mardi Gras camping being canceled. Hopefully, you can have just as much fun doing indoor things. Love the boys projects. How old do you hqave to be to participate in those?

Brought tears to my eyes. Definitely a keeper, he's so sweet. I would love to get a nice card from DH.

This new celebration sounds cooler & cooler!!! This is from mousesavers.

WOW!!!
I might need to get all of my family to enter this so I can be one of the four to go when "we" win.

I am sure you guys can appreciate this....
I was almost 2 years behind in getting my photos into an album. I have been putting it off & finally today I sat down & put in 2 years of pictures with captions into my album. It was pouring today so it was a good excuse to get this done. I can't believe I let it go that long. The photos were all over the house so organizing them was a pain but now I am up to date! While I was looking at the pictures I realized how much my kids have changed in just one year....

I like the new million dreams..I guess I have to work on convincing my DH to go to Disney again in 2007!

WTG!!! This is one thing on my list of things to do.

I hope things go well for you. I will keep you in my prayer for a fast appt with the OS on Friday.
Take it easy and I also hope the color coughing stuff goes away soon.

It means that the tooth is not straight up and down but is at an angle. Not sure why red heads are hard to get numb enough though. My old dentist always got me numb enough to do fillings.

I will be given IV sedation on friday so proabbly will not be on that day at all.

Dreamland is the best for these types of thing IMO.
Just think you can dream of being at WDW and playing tug of war with Pluto.

 

[kc10family]

Denise did you get the pathology report yet?

Yes Miss Denise... how are things?

 

[kc10family]

It sounds like someone new will get to sleep in Cinderella Castle at WDW and a Mickey room at DL every night after getting the royal treatment during the day! Now that is absolutely awesome!

I'd love to be a winner of one of those golden fastpasses.

I'm not sure I'm lucky enough to get either. I figure I don't have luck when it comes to things like that because I have such a magical life as it is. Leave the extra magic to others. However, this would definitely be me if I did win something.

If I win Vicki, you can tag along with me.

I hope one of these folks makes you a good offer. PD and prayers for you all.
Diaper rash... use Utter Balm it comes in a green tin and works wonders on hands, diaper rashes and feet. My mom told me she used it on us as well as when she was growning up. I was in the Dr office once and he said it was great for diaper rash also. I have only used corn starch and Bag/Utter balm on my girls. (just a side note)

With Chuck being in pain and our anniversary, I forgot that the December hours were released on June 1st. I am so excited. I can now start planning our trip. It doesn't help that Kristine keeps booking these really cool grand gathering events that I want to try to attend! They sound really cool. We are definitely doing the wishes cruise!

CHUCK!!!! Get better soon!!!
