[Steffy]

Okay Vickie, Tammi, Kristin, Stephanie and Kristine what are your dates and plans for your trips.

What day are you doing the MVMCP?

Are you doing the Candelight Procesional if so what day are you thinking of and what time?

Rember we have to decide on our meet and talk about it here to qualify for Pillow cases .

Okay, I arrive Thursday Nov 30 and leave Thursday Dec 7th. I have all of my ADRs booked, but my tablet is in the car and the rain just won't stop. I'll tell you where I'm eating tomorrow.

I'm going on the cruise with KristenN, Vicki and Tammi on Dec 2nd. I was thinking of MVMCP on Friday. I know, not the best day, but I want to do it Friday anyway. LTT at 4:30 I think.... I'm so excited. Paula... get sewing!!!!!

I'm patiently waiting. Cinderumberella is leading the charge over on the TPAS for the narrators!!

She's doing a great job over there isn't she! I think I may follow her around while we are at Disney!

 

[UP Disney]

AHHHHHHH!!! How very sweet. Such a thoughtful foster mommy.

But does this mean you get another Pal too?

No, Tommy convinced me that I should stick with just Nicky so that I can give him and Minnie my undivided attention (as well as the 4 bears).

I am so sick of the beep, beep, beep on the tv. Yes I know its raining and still gonna rain all night and tomorrow too. Yes I know that there is flooding, John had to pump out the crawl space under the house tonight when he got home. Plus he had trouble getting home as some of the roads in the development are now closed.

Enough with the beeping.

Our station stopped beeping. It just has the crawl. I went to Home Depot and bought the last 6 gallon wet/dry vac. The next smallest they had was 8 gallons! They are moving like milk during a snow storm!

The lady in front of me bought a sump pump. Another hot item. She has a foot of water. My DSIL just finished vacuuming the basement. This is NUTS!!!!

We need to build an ark...

Dawn so happy to hear that you & baby are doing fine

I had another Dr. visit today. Everything went well. He ordered an ultrasound to check the growth and she weighs about 3 pounds, 6 ounces. This was one of the best ultrasounds I've had. She was trying to suck her fingers and she kept turning her head and looking toward the probe.

 

[bear74]

nite all see you thur. I work tomorrow.

 

[tinknme]

I think we can arrange that

I could agree for a trade.
Napkins?

 

[Steffy]

I love when my boss sends me funny things. He is a great boss!!! If it weren't for him, my job could really suck!

Subject: Southern Grandma

Lawyers should never ask a Southern grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the electric chair."

I love it!

Before I forget, we got Chuck's x-ray results. It shows degenerative arthritis in his spine & hands. Don't know exactly what that means (you nurses might). I did a little research on the internet and scared myself. We see the doctor again in 2 weeks so decided I better wait to talk to him before getting myself worked up. Reminder to self: Vicki try not to worry about things before you know the details. It just ruins today. The prednisone is helping but we think he needs to split it & take half at night and half in the morning (instead of all in the morning). The doctor told us he could do that if he needed to. Chuck wanted to give it a week to see how he does. He wakes up quite stiff in the morning. He is back to work but is tired in the evenings.

He also wants to go do something fun and for himself so what does he choose ... kayaking. I'm really worried to try to give it a try! What will I do if his hands cramp up and we can't get to shore! I'd have to try and tow him (we always have a tow rope with us as I teach kayak safety). Or worse, he can't get out of the kayak. I picture me having to tip him into the water to get him out of it. I think I'm going to try him into geocaching instead. He is not having any trouble walking and we like to explore new areas.

Thanks again for all the thoughts & prayers.

Well, I'm off to read more of my book. I'm really enjoying this. Other than Harry Potter, I haven't really been interested in any books for a couple of years. I've had a couple of people recommend books and they have been ok, but I just wasn't interested in reading chapter books for awhile. I wanted to read something that I could finish in one sitting. It has been nice to have some reading to look forward to before falling asleep at night.

 

[UP Disney]

Oh one more thing on Chuck - he has improved enough that I'm back sleeping in our bed. He did say that he kicked me last night because I hurt him some how but I don't remember it. His kicking me wasn't intentional!

 

[UP Disney]

AHHHHHHH!!! How very sweet. Such a thoughtful foster mommy.

But does this mean you get another Pal too?

I should have said - no, just more clothes for Nicky!

 

[Steffy]

Terry what will you do when you have to send MTM on to his next location?

That's exactly what I asked her at lunch today....

 

[tinknme]

Thanks to Channon I now have my trip booked.
we will watch to see if airfare goes lower. if not we at least have it booked through disney.

I just got off the phone with my mom tonight and asked her if she had floated away yet. She said no....the only sign of flooding in her yard right now is the small pond is now a large pond.

 

[UP Disney]

Stephanie read faster! I want to see your reaction (before I go to bed) when you find out that Tommy is going to make his permanent home with Terry after his travelin' days are over.

 

[babytrees]

I should have said - no, just more clothes for Nicky!

Vicki-

I saw the funniest comic strip today that was meant just for you and I am going to try and find it.

You do realize that is still talking like we need to give you an intervention!!

 

[tinknme]

Heidi, glad to hear they found the problem & your mom will be home soon

Just called Dawn, and mom should be coming home tomorrow. Mom had gotten a cyst from her immunity being low, well the cyst got infected and the infection traveled to her right lung. A doctor removed the cyst today and she has been on antibiotics since Sunday.

 

[tinknme]

This also applies to Denise, Janet, Jo, Christi and Tia!!! (You know, we are gonna end up with really really small pillows if we keep this up! She's gonna run out of fabric!!!

 

[Steffy]

well, as far as I am concerned, the rain can just stop right now.

Stephanie came into work and told us we were all signed up to help her build an Ark
I asked her later on if I should go out and get a pontoon for my car?

On the way home the one place that always floods was just about there. It is a small bridge over a creek that always floods and I always wonder how the house or I should say Mansion there survives. It is a beautiful place that has just lovely gardens and during the Christmas season they decorate it so beautifully. But they must have a backup system to stop the water.

But my DD called and said they are calling for about a foot more water than they got two years ago in September. This could mean water on the first floor but we are not sure how much. When you first walk in, it is the sitting room then the dining room and then a step up into the kitchen and back to the family room. She has the dining room set I gave her that was ours for so many years and before that it was my DH's parents set. I might be leaving work early to help take care of Nicholas so they can move things. I just hope they are wrong with their predictions so she will be spared.
Down the street one good friend of theirs has his house and bar and they will probably get water damage and another friend is just fixing up another pub for reopening.
I am actually going stir crazy because I am not sure which way to go to work and if I will have to backtrack due to flooding. So I might be in for a wild ride to work.
At least MTM has boots now to go with his raincoat and hat!!!

I think we should forget work tomorrow and just start building.
