The Official New Mom Thread Part 2

[Alice28]

I fixed the link.

I think I've been bitten by the ebay bug.

I take all of my kid's clothes to the consignment shop and I am sick of getting next to nothing for them. They are good, clean name brand clothes.


Kona is in such a good mood today. The poor little thing is getting 2 more teeth.

I love BIN for immediate cash. A lot of buyers like it too, so they don't have to wait out the week. Love doing BIN. Only drawback is that ebay of course tacks of fees for listing with BIN. Not much though.

I jinxed myself saying I've never had a problem with ebay. I put my friend's Simba costume up with a BIN of $16.99. For some reason ebay listed it TWICE. This woman bought 'both' of the costumes with BIN and now is nagging me for free shipping. I apologized to her that it's only one costume, that ebay fouled up with listing it twice. So now she's like, well, can I have the free shipping since you messed up? I said, no, I am sorry, nowhere in the auction do I say there is a shipping discount with BIN; I charge what the PO charges me, along with about a $1.50 handling fee for paypal and ebay charges. I wonder if she will make a stink and cancel her bid. I know she's just going to turn around and try to sell it for 3 times as much- I was looking at her auctions this weekend, as she has a lot of Disney costumes and she is charging RIDICULOUS amounts for some of them- $200 for a used, but rare, Dopey costume. Yeah, right. $50 for Buzz costumes that other people only get $30 for (I did my research). She has a good feedback rating, and has like 5,000 transactions, but I just hate it when people are such tightwads.

 

[zalansky]

Robin - that is such BS! I would not give her free shipping either. If she cancels, so be it. As we get closer to Halloween you might snag more for it anyway. I was wondering about that too. I wonder if my person bought my Bjorn to try and sell for more? Live and learn I suppose!

 

[Alice28]

FF_ I meant to tell you that now is the PERFECT time for listing fall clothes. Go forth and make some $$$$$$$$$$$$$! I sold all mine already, except for a dress from Gap.

Now I already have a serious pile of spring stuff to sell- ALL Gymboree. I cannot wait til Jan/Feb to list it and make some dough!

 

[bellacam]

Hi again everyone. Today is a two nap day for Aidan so I'm back on sooner than I thought.

FF - I always do a BIN on a large item like a stroller. It has to be worth it for me to go to the trouble and I have always sold whatever I listed BIN for what I was asking for.

lissawynn - Glad the livers made you feel better. The thought does the opposite for this preggo!

Robin - I definatley missed something! Did you move or are you doing a major overhaul. I have been away from this thread for too long!

Well, as I mentioned earlier, Aidan's party was a blast. The only hitch was that the smell of the icing for the cake made me so nauseous the DH and my little bro had to decorate it for me. It came out ok though and Aidan sure liked it. Let me tell you, it was very weird to have Aidan blowing out his 1st BD candle while his sibling was playing soccer with my bladder. Sometimes I agree with everyone I must be crazy to be doing this again so soon! Here are some of the party pics!

 

[lissawynn]

Good luck to all of you selling on ebay. I just don't have the time for it with school starting next week.

I broke down and took a Unisom and B6. I just don't want to feel lousy anymore. I'm going to try and take a little snooze while Jimmy is napping. DH called to say he's working late tonight.

 

[Alice28]

Bellacam! What cute pictures! The cake is great! I love the pic of the decorators! Aidan has such pretty eyes. We're just overhauling- didn't move. But switched all the furniture around, painted, and new carpet is being installed. I am now getting a headache from the smell of the carpet and the dust, etc.

lissawynn- hope you get some rest.

FF- if you list on ebay- let me know your ebay name- maybe I can get some clothes for Molly for next year.

The carpet is in upstairs- they are now just trimming it, and he has to do the stairs, which I guess is time consuming. I hate this stir crazy feeling.

I saw a house on the way home from swim camp- it's gorgeous, and for sale. 5 bedrooms, 2 bath, living and family room, gourmet kitchen. $350,000. We could probably sell our house for $240,000, so we would have a mortgage of about $250,000. It's so tempting to start looking, since our income has gone up, we could afford it. But yet I also really like our dead end, most of our neighbors...that the kids always have someone to play with. I don't know. And the thought of moving...ugh. I need to snap out of this house funk.

 

[Hillbeans]

Hi Ladies,

Lots of people to catch up with!

Thanks for your reviews of CBR - the good and the bad. I'm going to look into renting points for part of the trip at BWI or BCV, but i'm going into serious Disney withdrawl and because Easter week is our only option for a week off for the upcoming school year, i'll stay anywhere really. Not to sound like a snob, but i've stayed at super fancy hotels and they are just fine, but since i'll have the kids along i'd like to stay somewhere that has a lot for them to offer, and any of the Disney Moderates would work out well for us during that expensive time of year if we can't spring for a Deluxe.

Zalansky - I used to not like EBay, but i've recently sold a few baby items on it and have gotten close to what I paid for the item in return. I'm saving the $ for the kids vacation fund. It's very time consuming though, so I usually do 2 or 3 items and then take about a month break.
I had to completely laugh when you posted about the 5 appletini's and your DH calling you to "bed"....so funny.

Lissawynn - sorry to hear that you feel so lousy. I hope this sickness doesn't stay with you for the next few weeks - that would be awful. I do think eating small meals and snacking often does help the nausea.

Bellacam - those pictures of Aidan eating his birthday cake are adorable!

Robin - i've never sold an item BIN - don't know why but I never know quite how an item will sell so I don't want to risk it. I have had requests once, but I told the person that I didn't have a set price in mind but I wanted the item to run it's course. Sounds like it works out sometimes though. Hope it works out with your costume. Good luck convincing DH to go back to WDW next year!

Floridafam - i've heard that you get a lot more for "designer" clothes on ebay than you would selling them locally. Good luck with your listings.

Jill - sounds like you had a great weekend and a busy week coming up. I forgot about your DL trip this week - I hope you have a wonderful time and super weather.

Justine - i'm glad to hear that Henry is doing well, but i'm sorry to hear about your mom giving you a hard time about Madison. Don't mom's know that no one wants to hear anyone say anything bad about their child, especially their mother? My mom was hard on me too, it was just her personality. I hope that you have a better day today!

Ryan - I hope everything is finally squared away with your car!!!

Ginamarie - thanks for the info about the CBR. I am with you about not having any other vices but loving to take vacations!! I don't really spend money on clothes or a lot of stuff for myself, but I need and want to take 1 or 2 vacations a year. I've done the Europe thing years ago and don't really have any desire to go back (maybe when the kids are older we'll go to Ireland) but I love WDW so much and the beach that it's my dream to go to both every year.

Sl - glad you had fun at the Yankees Game. I love the new picture of Lucas at the beach!

J&D - Can you send me a link to the books also? Thanks! I know GLT asked for one about going to school, but i'm curious to see the ones you have. Thanks!

Tasha - good luck at school this week!

Nucpharm - hope that you're settling in to your new house. It usually takes a good 6-8 weeks for it to really feel like "home". How are the kids sleeping? Is Matthew adjusting ok?

Gottalovethem - what a nice post you made!!! It is so nice coming to this thread and having all the wonderful support of our nice DIS friends. I felt so miserable last week about that comment the woman made to me and all of the ladies here made me feel so good and you all understand that you don't just lose the baby belly 2 weeks after having a baby!

Hi to DisneyPhD, Cabmom, Buzznbelle, Tamie, and all the mom's! I need to start taking notes because as usual, this thread is lightning fast and if you miss one day you're back many pages!

Good night everyone!

 

[Ginamarie]

FloridaFam- I use Buy it Now when I think the price of the item will definately go higher than the BIN price. Most sellers don't offer BIN, or they make the BIN price too high though, so I can't say I've used it a lot.

DH and I have been talking about selling a bunch of stuff on ebay the next couple of weeks for extra money and so that we don't have to move stuff we don't really use anymore. I have an oldish laptop and palm pilot that DH said will sell.

Olivia is refusing to nap this afternoon. She's completely exhausted and rubbing her eyes, but she keeps waking herself up right after she falls asleep. Poor baby!

 

[nucpharm29]

Hey all! I have hi-jacked my dsis's computer so I have access to real internet service!! We had a nice fun filled day of cleaning! My house was a disaster zone--and funny, though, after a day of cleaning the house doesn't look much better--but what you gonna do!

z-I had gotten to around $23 with Sunshine with doing the paid clicks, scratch off, surveys, and easy paid offers--I save my shopping for My points--and that has taken me around 2 1/2 months or so. Good luck!

Hillbeans--Matthew actually slept through the night Saturday night--but that, of course, was short lived--last night he was up at 12, 4:30 and then 6:30--oh well, I guess it's a start. And let me know if ya'll end up at Disney Easter week--we'll be there Wed. thru Sat. of that week!

lissawyn--hope the unisom and b6 made you feel a little better

Good luck to all of you posting on Ebay!

glt--don't know when the cable will be fixed. DH is supposed to be calling the cable company again today to see what's up--they've been giving us the run around for 4 weeks now, and I'm ready to call AT&T and set up DSL and Dish network! We've been without Disney channel for 4 weeks now and Emma is going into severe w/drawl!

Justhat--so sorry to hear about the probs with your mom and Madison--hugs to you and hope things get better soon!

WEll, I better get off of here--Dsis is watching all 3 kids, and I hear some yelling from Emma--Have a great afternoon!

 

[J&D]

FYI- A .05 click just came up at Sunshine! Hurry and get it!!!

Hillbeans- I'll send you a link. There are some really good Internet specials for infant/toddler boys that end tonight.

 

[Strawberry Lemonade]

Hi! This work situation keeps getting better and better. One of my friends handed in her resignation today. She also happens to be the wife of the poor guy who was fired last week. She is the absolute last of the people I would truly consider a friend at work. She found another job so I'm thrilled for her for that. They still haven't moved my desk. I hope it's soon. I'm surrounded by a group of girls who like to whisper and giggle to each other. It's so annoying.

Alice28 - I hope you get that auction thing worked out. You don't happen to have any pirate costumes for a 12-18 month old, do you?

floridafam - Good luck with the ebay decision. I'd definitely go with wherever would get you more $$$!

bellacam - I love Aidan's birthday pictures! Looks like he had a great time at his party.

cabmom - Congrats to Dean for crawling and good luck with the teething!

Hillbeans - I didn't like the CBR because it's really big and the theme didn't do too much for me. It's very pretty, but the tropical foliage is a breeding ground for spiders which I'm deathly afraid of.

lissawynn - I hope you're feeling better. I'm sorry, but I'm with the others - anything involving the word 'liver' just isn't anything I'd eat.

nucpharm - Hope you get your house straightened out soon. The aftermath of moving is crazy!

zalansky - I don't do the Sunshine either, but I do mypoints. We get plenty of Disney Dollars from our overuse of the Disney credit card so I didn't think that one would be as worthwhile. Good luck getting your credits up!

My only problem with mypoints so far is that I haven't been credited for a referral yet and it's been over a month. Customer services is being soooo helpful.

J&D - I hope Jenna's cheerleader costume comes in time. I'd love to see a picture if you get to take one!

justhat - I'm sorry to hear about all that with your mom. I hope things settle down for you once she leaves.

All this ebay talk has really got me thinking. I should set up my own account and sell a few things. I've bought a couple times with DH's name but I'm intrigued with the idea of selling now. I'm hanging on to Lucas's baby things "just in case" though.

 

[ryan840]

I'm going to attempt a reply here, we'll see how far I get... The car is going to be at the dealership until AT LEAST next Thursday which leaves me trapped here all day every day until then. My dad will let us borrow his truck but it's a gas guzzler and I would have to drive DH's $200 junker with no AC, so unless I'm desperate I won't be doing that. It couldn't have come at a worse time because I should be going to my grandmas all this week to get ready for the huge garage sale we're having- all of my grandma's stuff (she is in a nursing home now) and all of my grandparents stuff on my dad's side (we literally packed up the entire house in Dec. when my grandfather died and brought it up here from TN) plus my aunt and uncles stuff, my parents stuff and some of ours Looks like I'll be up all night Thursday pricing stuff We also have yet to get a closing date on the house, but we did get to mow the lawn She moved out already and it was looking pretty scary so we took care of it, and met the neighbors on one side- they have three dogs and one of them never stops barking I think Alex is beginning to understand that one of these days we will be living there, and he had a great time playing in the yard. I got my disneyshopping order and LOVE it, I took a gamble with the colors and they will match quite well so I'm excited about that. And to round off this rather legnthy update we went to a fly in at my FIL's old airport (he kept his plane there and even owned part of it until he was forced to sell it due to a lay-off) and we all had a great time. I'll have to post some pics... We also went by the lake that their plane crashed into, DH had some memories of that to share! I feel totally safe flying with DH now because how many people are involved in two plane crashes?

justhat- Henry is just so cute I love the family pic from the hospital too, it reminds me so much of mine. How are you adjusting to things? I'm sorry your mom is being so hurtful, pleaske know that it's just her and there is nothing wrong with Madison- she sounds exactly like every other 2.5 year old I've ever known! They all have their moments and their quirks, but at the same time they manage to make us beam!

GinaMarie- They busted the ignition out trying to steal our car, then they use a screwdriver to start it. Luckily it didn't work! Sorry you're getting flack from your FIL about your vacations, some people just have to be in everyone elses business... Sounds like you're loving Olivia's new antics, they're so fun to watch aren't they?

Hillbeans- This is a little after the fact, but add me to the list of "that lady is crazy and rude!". I've lost almost all of my weight but haven't done a sit up in years, so I still look 5-6 months pregnant and if anyone dared to say something to me... Actually I'd probably just cry and run away Anyway, you don't look pregnant, don't believe her! Have fun planning your WDW trip, keep us posted!

Robin- Almost finished, you'll have to post pics when they're done. I feel you about living in a mess, we've been half packed for a month now and can't take two steps without tripping To answer your WDW questions, My favorite place to say is OKW (the only other place we've stayed is Pop), I hope to someday stay at the Poly, AKL, SSR and Beach Club and I have no desire to stay at the Contemporary (sorry, it's strictly a decor thing- otherwise it'd be great), All Star Sports or the Grand Floridian (same as everyone else, too fancy schmancy and you could do so much more for the money)

GLT- How great that you made it to the parade, you really are a wonderful mom. I feel like a horrible mom because I almost never make it out of the house... I just gotta get out of this rut, I'm hoping the new house will make all the difference. My kids deserve so much more and I just can't seem to do it You and all the moms on here are such an inspiration to me though, I really have become attached to you all even though I hardley ever post. LOL, sorry you got stuck with the sob story! I just meant to tell you I think you're a wonderful mom and I wish I was more like you!

lissawynn- Sorry you're still feeling crummy, I hope it lets up before school starts! LOL about Jimmy eating the dog food (is there a yum yum smiley?) Oh, and I like chicken and turkey liver too, never ahd beef though.

bellacam- great pics, tell your DH and brother they did a great job on the cake. How are you feeling these days (aside from the icing making you )?


Jill- I'm glad you and your sister had a good time on your retreat!

FF- I agree, ebay is addicting, although I haven't listed much lately. I just got in to Gymboree with Jack so I can't wait to start selling those- I got the stuff so cheap I'm almost positive I'll make at least 2/3 of my money back! I've found BIN to be give or take, but with stuff like your stroller it would definately go (I think ) I wish I were going to WDW again this May so we could get in on the mini meet but it won't be until May 2008 that we return I'm hoping more of you will be there then because I'd love to meet you all but June doesn't work for us. Anyone for DL in October 2007? A girl can dream right?

Tasha- Maybe our May '08 trips will cross and we can meet, that's be a lot of fun! Have fun returning to school, let us know how Kylie did on her first day of daycare.

Zalansky- Sounds like your night out was a blast

Oops, Jack is not happy with me, gotta run! Hi to everyone I missed

OK, DH is home and on baby duty...

SL- Sounds like work is a blast, I'm guessing your friend left because of what they did to her DH? I think Lucas will be absolutely adorable as a Pirate

OK, I can't scroll down to reply in edit mode so I'll finish in another post.

 

[ryan840]

My post, continued...

J&D- How in the heck do you find all these .05 clicks? I guess I don't spend enough time on there... I only have about $4 because I use mypoints and creationrewards for shopping, it seems to pay off faster... All I do is the paid clicks and the scratch off, and the paid emails.

cabmom- Wow, sounds like Dean is getting so big, and what a mouthful of teeth!

nucpharm- Too funny about hi-jacking your sisters internet, I was only out a computer a few days and I moved in with my parents until it was fixed!

DisneyPhD- How was the zoo? We only went once this summer, usually we go several times with my mom's passes (shh!). I'll probably take the boys there before it gets too cold, if you have passes we should get together. How exciting that your friend had her baby, and was so calm!

Hope Gretchen and DisKim are having a great time in WDW, hi to all the moms I missed! I'm going to find some photos of the fly in to post, see ya later.

 

[joats]

Well, I've found myself about 30 pages behind. I've been reading almost daily, but never have enough time to reply to all, so I don't reply. Well, I'm just going to post tonight as it's been way too long.

Congrats Justhat and Welcome to the world sweet baby Henry!!! I hope his levels are doing ok. Sorry to hear about the issues with your mom.
Tasha - Glad your DH made it thru the surgery ok.
Bellacam: Happy Belated to Aidan. That whole party theme was fabulous - looks like fun!!
Lissawyn: I'm sorry you are still feeling lousy.
I will never be able to reply to all but just want to say hello and try to participate in a few discussions. I'm going to try to be better at this...it's just this thread is so FAST!!!!!!!

Favorite resort: WL!!! Hands down with 2nd choice AKL. I also like POFQ (for moderates).
Want to stay at: Boardwalk (only for a few nights then switch to WL as my vacations aren't the same without WL)
Don't want to stay: Value Resorts, GF, Contemporary, Swan/Dophin - no interest. Actually aside from the above mentioned ones I like, I don't really have any interest in staying anyplace else.

I will try and post Jace's newborn photos. I have so enjoyed seeing all the newborn photos: the hospital photo (sorry it's so big, I can't figure out how to get it smaller like the other one) and one taken about a week old.

Jace did end up getting HFM and so did DH and I. I only had it a few days, DH had it for so long - he just started feeling better. It was rough!

Things have been great here on our end now that we are all healthy. Jace is quite the climber these days and now likes to climb into his high chair. It amazes me that he can get in and sit down properly...all I need to do is the straps. LOL! He has been a total kisser lately and constantly smooching us. I'm hoping this is his new trend and the biting (after being written up 3 times at daycare for biting his classmates) phase will soon be over for good.

Good news is that Jace's eyes are still doing well...here's a recent photo..I love how they look!! When he get's tired though they aren't always the straightest which makes me nervous, but so far, so good.

Well, I better go help DH with dinner. I hope you all are doing well and hope to post again soon.

Joats

 

[lissawynn]

DH took Jimmy to his parents' for a while to burn off some energy. I just can't catch a break. All I wanted to do was take a little rest, but DH and Jimmy came barging into the bedroom and was yelling like a little nutball. All I want to do is eat junkfood. I just ate 5 mini Hershey bars. That's all I can find for now, although I'm eying up those pickles.

SL - I hope you get your desk moved soon. I hate giggly people. I'm SO not a giggler.

Alice - I hear ya on the looking for a new house stuff. We decided the addition was our best option b/c if we do move out of town, we're looking at a huge mortgage, which neither of us wants. We aren't going to be slaves to a monthly payment.

Hillbeans - DH and I stayed at CBR in Oct. 2003. I liked it. We were a decent walk away from the food court, but it wasn't a hike. Also, the room was really big and nice. We were in a pretty far away building, but I don't remember which one. We didn't use the pool b/c we spent all of our time at the parks. I would go back there before I'd ever return to a value. We did 1 night at ASM last year, and I HATED it. It was as if the people were shuttled around like cattle. Never again.

ryan - Glad to hear there's another liver eater out there.

joats - Jace looks great! We have the same Boppy.

nucpharm - I totally relate to your cleaning situation. That's my live every day we're home.

Ginamarie - I hope Olivia took a nap for you.

I need to find something gross to eat.

 

[ryan840]

joats- Glad to hear from you, sorry you all had to suffer through HF&M though! Jace was the sweetest little baby, and he looks great now too! I have a hard time posting replies to everyone too, hence my mega posts every couple weeks or so. Keep us updated when you can!

Here are some photos I've uploaded-

Alex's birthday party with at my parents on his actual birthday

Alex's birthday party with the family and friends

One of Jack for good measure

DH was in charge of pictures at the fly in and this was the only one he took with anyone in it, it's my FIL and Alex (BTW, it was hard to tell who was more excited to be there, my FIL or Alex! It was too cute to watch them together )

This is (I believe) a B-17 that is one of only two in the whole world that is still flyable, and it came to our little fly in.

And just to push my kids on you some more, I came across my favorite video ever of Alex, it was last year during our first trip to WDW (he was 21 months old). It was just after Wishes and I was in the bathroom so DH was "talking" to him. We actually understood him back then, but now I can't make out half the stuff he was saying Basically he was telling us all about the castle being blue (during the long kiss goodnight) and wondering where I was. Then he did his fireworks impression at the end. It was the night before we left and he had been sick and not in the best mood for the entire trip, until this video. My little night owl! And I apologize in advance for the legnth, but I couldn't bear to clip any of it. It's about 3 minutes long.

And to be fair, there is one of Jack from a week or so ago (I clipped it so it's much shorter). He is a total camera hog and we got it on video- he was playing happily with me until he noticed the camera and literally stopped in the middle of it all just to stare at it Oh, and nevermind my crazy laugh, I was sugared up...

Here's the link, I just put them together for simplicity.

OK, thanks for letting me boast a bit! Talk to you all later

ETA- I have no idea why these sized the way they did, I miss my photoshop! I gotta get on DH about reinstalling it ASAP!

 

[DisneyPhD]

Ryan, it was a great day for the zoo. We had a nice time. I live less then 4 miles away so we try to go often. I would love to meet you there. I am supost to meet another Dis member (crazy4piglet) she lives in RO too and has a 9 month old son. I love the pictures also. Happy bithday to ALex and Jack is looking big.

Today was DH and mine 13th wedding aniversary. We just had a quiet dinner out and then stoped at home deopt because we weren't ready to come home yet and needed a few things. How romantic.

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

I am once again really far behind on this thread and don't have time to do a proper catch up but I love all the pics!

bellacam~ Aidan's b-day party looked like it was a lot of fun! I love the cake and all of you look great!

ryan~ Kylie had the same b-day button at her party except it was the birthday girl version of course!

joats~ Jace looks great! I can't get over all his blonde hair. It seems like he was bald not that long ago! He is becoming quite the handsome little man!

justhat~ Henry is adorable and you all look great! Madison has grown up so much!

I hope I covered all the new pics. I saw all of them but I didn't read posts so I apologize but I am short on time. I should be in bed actually...

Anyway, just popping on to say that dh managed to get the whole workman's comp. paycheck thing straightened out. The lady he talked to today in the New Orleans office said she was putting a check to cover the 2 weeks he's been off so far in the mail today and we should have it sometime this week! She also said if the doctor doesn't think he should come back to work yet that they will pay him until the dr. says he can. Dh wants to go back ASAP though since he's starting to get bored. He sees the dr. Thurs. afternoon and is hoping to be back at work by Friday. I figure the dr. will have no problem with it as long as he is put on light duty. So that is a load off my mind and I can finally breathe easier...for now! Dh's company causes me stress at least once a year so we'll see what next year brings!

Well, as you all know, I start school tomorrow so I am guessing that I will probably be on here a bit less but I will try to stop by as often as possible and let you know how we are doing! I love you gals!

Oh, and Kylie has me a nervous wreck now! She is trying to give lissawynn's little EK a run for his money. She has learned to climb on everything and she will climb on the couch, stand up on it with a giggle (even though she knows she isn't supposed to and is testing me!), and start walking backwards on it! I have had to catch her to keep her from falling off the couch backwards and getting hurt. And of course she just laughs! She is going to cause me to have a stroke before she's 2!

Okay, well, I have to be up in 7 hours to get ready and get Kylie up and ready so I'd better go! Have a great week all!

 

[Ginamarie]

Bella- great job with the birthday cake!

Joats- Jace looks like he’s doing great

Ryan- Great pics

DisneyPhD- Happy Anniversary!

My family went out for lunch today to celebrate my grandparents’ 63rd wedding anniversary. It’s amazing to think they’ve been together for that long! Grandpa was so happy to have most of us together to celebrate, and the food was delicious.

Olivia was anti-napping all afternoon and evening. DH was able to get her to sleep around 9 pm. He agreed that she looked completely exhausted, but was fighting sleep. I got some boxes packed, so it wasn’t a complete loss though.

Mom and I are headed out near the outlet mall tomorrow, so we’re going to stop and see if there are any good bargains, though I feel like I can’t spend anything right now. I still have that Pottery Barn certificate, and I’m thinking it might be good to just use it on a shower curtain and towels for the downstairs bathroom. DH and I are both really excited about the bathrooms in the new house. We’ve been living with a stall shower for the last 4+ years, so knowing we’re going to have two bath-tubs is great. DH keeps saying that we can take baths together at the same time- in different tubs!

OK, I really need to get some sleep. I’ve been staying up way too late these last few nights.

 

[J&D]

Here is an easy 25 points at MyPoints. Look for Nature Made offer under Easy Points or Shopping: What's New.

Tasha- Have a great first day at school! Jenna has been climbing on everything as well. At her last dr. visit our ped said that she has a patient about the same age as Jenna that climbs on top of the refrigerator. Can you imagine that? Jenna busted her lip for the third time today. I guess at this age cuts and bruises are to be expected.

Ginamarie- Happy 63rd Anniversary to your grandparents!

DisneyPhD- Happy 13th Anniversary!

ryan- Great pics. It is usually posted on the Budget or Rewards Boards when there are .05 clicks, but today I just kept hitting refresh and the click came up.

joats- Great new pics of Jace. Glad to hear that his eyes are doing well.

Bellacam- Cute party pics.

Alice- How does your carpet look?

Jill- I spoke with my parents over the weekend about a Dec. WDW trip. They have the week after Christmas off. If we decide to go we would probably leave Christmas night and make stops in Mississippi and Tampa (to go to BG), so we probably wouldn't make it to WDW until the 28th or 29th. Sorry we will miss you.

Cabmom- Good to hear from you.

DisKim and Gretchen- Hope you are having great trips!
