The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 9

[Eeyorecln]

Good morning all

We are headed to have Nicks EKG done - please pray that he is okay!

Kate

I hope everything went OK.

 

[Eeyorecln]

Thanks all for your prayers and good thoughts for the ENT.
He said that there is still some thickening in my sinus, and he said the possibility is surgery..but the risks of the surgery and the pain involved made me decide not to do it right away..Since i am getting better, i figured it wasnt worth it right now, and he said that was fine..So for now, im okay..thanks!

Hopefully things will get better so you can avoid surgery.

Hi, everyone. Busy with trying to get stuff ready for our beach trip. Sure am glad we didn't go this week. The eye is right over where we're staying in FL. shouldn't be any damage, but it would have been WET! I hope we get some of the rain here. Our county is on a complete outdoor watering ban as it is so dry and HOT!

Have fun at the beach.

Last past few days I have been up to my eyeballs in lots of little things that have consumed my hours. I keep tring to read and post but time is not my friend or I get the

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.




And so off I go to the next top ten emergency list item. Along with DH wanting me to sit in front of the at night after the girls go to bed, I don’t get any DDA time. (you can feel sad for me know)


Here is how off we are in this house right now. Yesterday was my 7 year anniversary and neither of us remembered until well after lunch. Nothing special was done due to time not being our friend, but maybe we will get to do something is weekend.



AND…… it has come to our attention that I will need to bring in some money in order for DD’s to both go to the preschool we want as well as gymnastics classes and now Ellie wants to be in ballet. SSSOOOO… I want my and eat it too (I can want can’t I ). I am looking into becoming a Notary so I can bring in money off and on. I also hope to become a loan officer later this year so I can bring in enough to pay for a full year of the preschool for both girls… I don’t think the notary deal will bring in enough, but then again it could.



With all that said I am off again to try to catch up.

Sorry you guys forgot your anniversary. hopefully you can figure out the financial situation for preschool.

I am so sorry - I forgot to check back in - it went well

he was SO good - I told him they were going to listen to his heart and that he had to lay still and they would put stickers on him - he laid right down on the table and didn't move or talk until she told him he could! I guess he remembered what happened when he didn't lay still for the catscan!!

The test didn't seem erratic to me - but the nurse did say she saw some irregularities but she didn't know what they meant - so they will get back to me in about 48 hours - so I am guessing Friday - especially since my doctor only works on Tuesday and Friday!!

We went to McDonald's and got him a happy meal - that was his reward - which he knew ahead of time - and he would do anything for cars - the toys are REALLY nice!! Although he did say to the nurse - me good boy now me go see cars again!!! Good thing Steve and I want to see it and we plan on going to see it this weekend with them!!

I'm glad to hear Nick was so good for it. Prayers for the test results.

Well, this Deluxe snob took the plunge and booked 2 rooms, preferred building, at All Star Movies for free dining! I'm actually really excited. I know the kids are going to flip when they see all those larger than life icons. I think we'll rent a car to have as well for going to and from the parks. Oh, and it saved us $1600, and we're getting 2 rooms vs one. John will love that!

So any tips or advice for ASMo? Guess I'm going to be doing some research.

Sounds like a great deal. So are you guys staying in the Toy story section? My boys love both Toy Story movies.

Here is the link to my friend whose son Jacob (a BBB triplet) died yesterday. I am sobbing with tears pouring down my face. I am so heartbroken. I can't imagine losing one of my trio and how hard that must be for his brothers.

Here is the link to Jacob's page. He is only 3 weeks older than my kids. Heather and I were pg together.

What a sweet boy!! I am sure the family is devastated.

I will keep the family in my prayers!!

Hi All! I'm finally all caught up. I've been trying for weeks and the server problems haven't been helping. And even though I tried to read every post I still think that I was missing some-I don't think the pages were always loading right.

I've been so crazed the past few weeks. I think taking 2 vacations in 1 month was the start of making me crazy and then things seem so out of control at home with all the end of year stuff. BUT...none of you have been far from my mind.

Denise-I am soooo happy to hear that Rees is doing so well! I'm sure you'll have a great trip to the beach! And congrats on the job too. I am sure your kids will love ASMo. I went with Joe last Aug and we had a great time. We stayed in the Herbie section and really enjoyed it. The food court got busy (especially late at night) but the lines generally moved along pretty quick. Joe had only ever stayed at the Poly but he enjoyed ASMo. One morning we took the bus to Epcot so that we could take the monorail over to MK. It was great because noone was going that way so we got to ride up front. And then we took the ferry from TTC to MK-something new for him and the boat was named the Admiral Joe Fowler so Joe was excited about that.

Kate-Sorry to hear you need surgery but am happy to hear that it will bring you relief. Prayers for Nick.

Tammi-my prayers are with you and your children too.

I've got lots of notes so I'll post longer after I get home.

Welcome back.

Can we go with you?
I want to go so bad, but money and this family are not the best of friends these days. If I could just win the lottery or if anyone has a link to a place I could buy a money producing tree that would be great.

If you find one let me know. Seems like everytime DH gets a bonus a bill comes up.

Hi everyone!

We have been so busy around here. I'm still reading along.

I went to the Dr. today and had a great visit! My blood pressure is good, my blood sugar is good, and my Dr. is pleased with the way I'm progressing. I start going every 2 weeks now and because of my problems they're going to start monitoring the growth via ultrasound. I think it will just be a quick peek to count movements, but it's exciting to know I'll be seeing her so often. He said they're doing this now instead of stress tests twice a week. I'm so excited because I was on full bedrest by this time in my last pregnancy.


I feel like I'm living out of my car these days since we're on the go so much. Another month and I'll be able to take it easy until the baby comes. My wonderful MIL gave me a break today and took Christopher this afternoon.

That's great news, your pregnancy is going so well. I hope things continue to go good.

Glad to hear the appt went well- and here's some for some good news with the results

 

[rosiejo]

Morning y'all - no time to catch up on last night's fun - I need to go into work early.

Just thought I'd stop by to say... I got my results for my last two papers yesterday... the ones I thought I would fail.

Well the grade system is 1 for a fail and 6 for a you did great ,go to the top of the class...

well I got a 5 for one paper and a 6 for the other!!?!?!?!?!?!? That's a 6 overall for that class I tell you that DDA pixie dust does some POWERFUL things!

I'm so proud of myself I can't stop grinning... although I'm also sure they're going to call me and tell me they got the papers muddled up

So I passed both of my classes for this semester with flying colours - and I'm now on a break until October for the next two classes.

Have a good day everyone

That little guy fits me to a "T"!!

Christopher is finished with swimming lessons and now just practices with the swim team 4 times a week. They had a practice meet last week and he would have won if the hadn't kept popping up to see if he was winning . He still only came in second by a fingertip length. They have their first real meet tomorrow. He's really swimming well now and loves every minute of it. It helps that his cousin and two of his best friends are on the team also.

ETA: Thanks for the birthday wishes for Brian. How did I miss that large font the first time?

Late but Brian. Good luck Christopher for your meet. Try not to peek so much.

If y'all can stand any more posts from me tonight, I'd like to do an unofficial poll.

We're down to 2 names and I'm interested to know which you like better and how many girls you know with these names. I checked the popular baby name lists and they're #22 and #82 (out of 100).

Anyway, the two names are Caroline and Lauren. The middle name is Elizabeth. Our last name will go well with all of them. I don't want to post it here but if you can't choose without knowing, PM me .

One name is DH and Christopher's favorite. The other is my favorite.

I like Lauren. I only know 1 girl with that name.

I'm tired, and heading to bed, but check out my updated signature!!

My sister had her baby at 9:05 PM, June 13. I got to be there, and even cut the cord (my BIL didn't want to)! He is such a cutie!

She named him Sawyer (because it was the only boys name in the baby book her and her husband liked) Howard (after our grandpa).

7 pounds 1.1 ounce
21" long
4 hours of labor! (no typo, just four!)

Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute!!!!!

Oh, and we will be having a visit from the tooth fairy tonight. You wouldn't believe how excited Nicholas was to have lost that first tooth!

First tooth how exciting. How much does the tooth fairy give in VA?

 

[Eeyorecln]

Today was my youngest's graduation from preschool Instead of caps & gowns they do a circus. My little one was a tightrope walker. She was so proud of her costume. The teachers help her sew her own skirt & she had a crown with flowers on it & a parasol she made as well...So cute. So no more preschool for us. The teachers & the director of the school are so wonderful, I am going to miss them all..I have been going there for 6 years straight with all 3 kids & it's going to be weird in September not to be up there anymore.

It's been a hectic day so I haven't had a chance to read all the posts I missed but I just wanted to say "Hi" to all!!!!

It is so hard when the last one starts to grow up.

 

[Eeyorecln]

Don't give up on me yet. I still want to do a trip report.

You, and Phil and Terra, have been in my thoughts and prayers. I really wish I could do more for you but the 50 miles might as well be 500 the way my life is right now. I am feeling so stressed and like a bit of a looser for feeling so stressed. Phil is so lucky to have you! I am not as patient/understanding with my DH and he's driving me crazy lately. He went to the beach last week and dropped his brand new cell phone in the ocean. He had it in a Tshirt pocket and then of course it became my problem because I can't leave him at home with 3 kids without a cell phone so I had to give him mine and he can't handle going to the Verizon store to fix it. I went to the Verizon store to get it fixed and had to wait 1 1/2 hours for the repair. I called him to let him know it would take that long and then called him at 8pm to tell him it was all fixed (they did it for free!) and he told me he hadn't fed the kids yet. I just feel like my life is a bit out of control. He's not at all lazy but he just can't function and if I try to say anything to him he acts like I'm trying to attack him personally. I'm hoping things will improve next year with more of a schedule-Joe & Lizzie in school full days and Emma in preschool 3 mornings. I'm anxious for the school year to be over so I can get to work early and get home earlier.

Hope Phil finds some more answers and hope you can move closer to your family soon. My SIL lives in St Louis-maybe I could meet up with you there.

Sounds stressful. I think I would feel Hopefully, things settle down.

It looks like Chris has decided that we will not be going to bike week this weekend. He saw how much stress I was under and made the decision for me. I knew there was a reason that I love him so much. Now I'm trying to think of something else for us to do.

Deb

How sweet of Chris, hope you find something fun to do this week-end.

 

[Eeyorecln]

Well, considering it was the first tooth, he's the last in his class to have lost one, and he didn't cry when I yanked it out, it looks like she splurged and left $5. I'm sure the price will drop significantly from here on out.

ETA : He's hoping for $2.

Just don't talk to my kids, our tooth fairy is cheap due to volume. They always get $1.
