Sounds like good progress with school and teacher.
Yes! finally only took the WHOLE FLIPPING YEAR!
I had no idea about the Disney Little Mermaid tsum tsums. My kids would probably kill me if I bring in tsum tsum stuffies for myself. It is Mother's Day this coming Sunday. Maybe.
No they won't as long as you buy them one! LOL here at my desk at work i have a small Duffy and Mickey small Tsum. i have more at home i need to bring to work.. I need some happy at this miserable place!
So, the Seattle/Canada trip got cancelled with dance team. So, I planned a mini vacay to Portland/Ground Mound, WA/Seattle, WA. We start off with seeing Wicked in Portland on a Sunday. Then drive up to Ground Mound and stay the night with my sister. Then check in to Great Wolf Monday afternoon. Stay 2 nights. Chelsea begged to be upgraded to a kids suite. Then on Wednesday, we will check out and drive to Seattle to watch a Mariner/A's game. Check into a hotel in Seattle (not sure where yet). Thursday will be Wild Waves theme park. Friday will be sight seeing. Saturday is back to Portland for a couple of days of back to school shopping. Not a Disney trip, but it should work. However, I will probably end up spending close to a trip to
Disneyland. Maybe I can swing one of those for Christmas. I have never gone at Christmas time. Or plan to go to Dapper Days in the Spring.
your Mini Vacation sounds delightful!!! i like the kids suite too.. i want to stay in them all the time! LOL. you really have a lot planned and it all sounds SO MUCH FUN!!! My bucket list has Disneyland in it for the Nightmare Before Christmas set up on Haunted Mansion!!! Must see this! if you go.. please take tons of pictures!!!
See Mo, it's not just me who can't keep up because of the new Dis! Take that will ya! Now, stop picking on meeeeeee!
Sure take away all my fun.. Nope not gunna stop...
Back to all the stuff that I wanted to talk about (half of which I have already dang forgot), keeping my fingers crossed that upping the meds will help the thyroid issues. What a day you had at the doctor. You must have looked bad if the kiddo noticed. You are lucky that ya'll made it home okay.
i know i's hard t remember everything you read! then one post has all your attention and just go with it! HA! i do it all the time with posts then BOOM they post wishes. all thought out the window and concentrate on wishes! HA HA
I hope end of May will show they are working. i have been dealing with this for about 15 years.
Oh yeah i was even whiter then i normally am.. so that's BAD! LOL.
Oh and your hair, I thought that it was cute. Having said that, I know the feeling that you have when you get a haircut and you turn and go "oh crap!" and then "maybe it will grow quickly".
Thank you. Yeah i am looking forward for it to start growing again! at least 3 inches! It looks fine down. but for everything else i do i have my hair up. and the up looks SILLY! LOL.
It sounds like maybe the teacher is actually going to put forth a bit more effort! About time!
Only took a year.. but hey i will take what i can get!
Yay!! Those school updates are great! Seems like a great way to finish the year.
yes i am so happy for them.. finally able to go to school with hope.
Yay for teachers doing what they are supposed to do! (I can say that without worry because I'm a teacher, too!!)
HA HA HA! This one is a doosy.. i do still have to deal with her next year.. but at least she knows where i am coming from.
But you're right, teachers are much more willing to work with parents who show they understand we are all on the same team, wanting what's best for the student. It's a lot harder to feel like a team when it seems like the parents (or the teacher!) don't have the kids' best interests at heart!
I totally can see it. it's frustrating for teachers to try as much as they might and nothing is being done at home.. everything your doing is pretty much for nothing. well i am not that parent! LOL. i care about fractions. (no i don't but i care about the grade)
Glad your meds are starting to work and hopefully you'll be feeling like your old self again soon!
I hope so it's been 15 years of this uphill battle
I'm glad to see somebody else agreed with me about their DIS updates not UPDATING!
At least I know I'm not crazy...this time!
don't get Lisa started please???
Just kidding. yeah it took a while for me to get everything back to normal on my alerts and coming to my email.. I believe i have them all?!?!
My husbands is under control, my daughters, not so much...it fluctuates, she is put on meds, then it shows that she doesn't need them, it is hit and miss for her..she is 33 yrs old, and has been trying to regulate since she was a teenager..it can be very frustrating for her.. I am so glad that the kiddos teacher is willing to work with yall..makes it so much easier..and by the way, I like your hair cut.
it's been 15 years and still not there. i hope one day it will!!! same for your daughter. I hope they get it under control SOON! gotta keep up with the blood tests!
thanks about the hair. It's fine down I should take a picture when i have it up for Job #2 and 3
Glad you heard from the teacher. That's awesome.
Hope the end of the school year is easier!
Me too!!
Glad you were able to work it out with the teacher and that the kids feel more comfortable now! That should help tremendously!!
it should. Plus they are still scared crapless about not going to Disney! LOL.. i got them right where i want them.
Okay, this had me laughing out loud for reals.
I'm here all week...
Yes, Lupus is my main issue, I was diagnosed in 1995. 10 years later, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as well. So if one isn't hurting me, the other usually is. Chronic pain is "normal" for me. But I can also tell the difference between my "normal" pain which I've built up a tolerance for, and anything else. And with anything else, I'm a bit freakin' crybaby!!!
oh my so sorry you have all those issues!
HA! Nope pain i got. there are days the doc looks at me asks how are you walking? (my knees are shot)
I tell him. I HAVE KIDS! i don't have a choice!
I love this post so hard!!!!
Love star wars!!!! LOVE!
Yaaaaaaay! I support anything that lessens the chance of the return of Mean Mom!
HA! I HATE to be mean mom.. i want to have fun and play! not sit and stare at walls!
The fat purple octopus lady don't never get no love.
I DO like her.. but i am not a fan of the tsum tsum of her..
not as cute as the rest of them!
Ugh. Why did you have to remind me?
BUT TODAY IS:
YEAH YEAH!
I've been a terrible DISer; reading along whenever I am able to, but not commenting.
Thank you for reading along!!!
your still here and that what counts. Honestly this has gotten a little boring...
Sounds like things are settling into place for you, finally. Kind of a crazy couple weeks for you guys.
it's always crazy around here.
I'm sorry your body has decided to work against you instead of with you. I can only imagine how frustrating/scary/weird that must be. I'm glad your doctors are helping and that the meds are starting to take effect. Modern science is an amazing thing!
i can't stand it. I don't like NOT being in control
Yay for teacher! Glad she pulled her head out of the dark side (see what I did there).
I did!!! and i love PUNS!!!!
I do agree that when a teacher sees an effort they are more likely to also put in effort, but I don't think she should have behaved as she did before, for any reason. Either way, this is good news for you and your kiddos; with everyone on the same page I'm sure those report cards are going to be much improved.
No No teacher should talk to any student the way she does. it's not right. when kids are coming out of school and crying. you know something is wrong. Not just my kids. I had to have a meeting with my volleyball girls and the flood gates opened. I went straight to the principal with everything. nothing really changed so i don't have my hopes up too high.
Let's talk about. TsumTsums!! I had seen them here and there but I never really paid them much mind; little stuffies, cute, fine, whatever. Then DD discovered the show, and by discovered I mean it's on the Disney Junior app and I turned it on for her so I could wash a few dishes.
She.
LOVES.
It!
there's a show about tsums!?!?! Im going to have to look that up!!!
Those little two minute cartoons are perfect for her tiny attention span and she has started to imitate the little noises!
yep going to look this up i had no idea!!! this is why i love the Dis you all teach me soo much!
Then we went to our favorite place, Target and when she saw the display (remember she is 8 months old) she went nuts! Reaching for them, churping at me to take her there. She took a Mickey. Mouse one and popped it into her mouth. Definitely not sanitary but adorable. So now we are obsessed and must collect them all!! Thanks to you're reports I know where to look!
HA HA HA HA she ate Mickey? She is so cute. good Mom raising her right! Go team Mickey!!!
Alright I'm babbling. Glad you're doing good, and yes, you deserve a day off, maybe even two back to back!
Na. there isn't anything else bog going on so we can chat! LOL.
First, that car ride home..? So scary!!! I am glad you got everything taken care of, but man.... I hope the meds are kicking in by now and you are starting to feel better.
I understand Matt's weak stomach... I can't eat at those places either, but for different reasons.
Trying to get caught up for the last week of MIA.
D~
We shall see, i have some time before i know about my head cyst and meds.
Your definitely in your bubble.
Glad to hear that the kids Friday folders are improving... I had no doubt, they are smart kids.
Probably good to cancel dog training considering how horrible you felt the day before.
Wtg Zack on the game ball! Lol about being tagged out though, that's something I would do.
Good catch on Zack's ear!
It sounds lime your talk with the teacher helped immensely... I hope it continues through what's left of the school year... Its one thing to be bullied by kids and another to be bullied by your teacher. Inexcusable, IMO. But glad things seem to be better now.
Bummer about the Boy's game... But awesome about Meg being a catcher. Fun!
Oooh... I hope the meds truly are kicking in.
Glad you were able to get a few of the tsums you needed... I've played the game a few times, but I guess I am in the minority and don't understand the appeal? But I love the frozen freefall game.
One more page... Then I should be caught up.
D~
I think your caught up. Thanks.
I'm just catching up a little here! Sorry I've been among the missing lately!!
No big deal! Thanks for checking in. Like i said nothing major is going on.. I am just blabbering.
haha, I agree... just waiting for some people to retire already to open up some promotion opportunities! I am very lucky that I get to work from home 3 days per week too.
YOU NEED that promotion! I would LOVE to work from home... I'm jealous of you now!!!
OMG jerky boss gets no Disney help! I would do the same! I hope he goes with no ADRs!!
He is there now. I did help when i thought he was OK. but he decided to be a rat jerk. He isn't MY boss, he is a General Sup at the location i am stationed. THANK GOD i don't answer to him and i can be nasty!
Ok, you've inspired me to at least have backup plans on my ADRs. Maybe not my park days, but we'll see. I feel silly that I've never done that before! But actually now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever booked more than 180 days out, so I've had to just find whatever I can. I've had good luck in the past, so here's hoping we get all of our picks! Only 12 days until ADR day, I can't believe it! I really need to get my plans finalized.
GOOD! you should have back up plans. JUST IN CASE! i will update on how i do my back ups!
I'm so glad you mentioned this... I hadn't even thought about how difficult it might be to get BOG on a party date with the earlier closing....
I hope you get it!!! i hate to hear if someone didn't get the BOG they wanted. so that's the best advice!
I'm sorry you haven't been feeling so well lately. But hopefully things will start to look up with medication adjustments etc. And glad that crazy teacher lady seems more reasonable and approachable!!
thank you!!!!
Those tsum tsums sure are cute, I might look into getting some of those! Hope you have a great day today!
they really are cute.. and something else to collect.. Like i need more. DANG YOU DISNEY WITH ALL THE CUTE STUFF!!!!
Great news about the teacher!!
Hope the meds are working out!
Thanks!!! we shall see next week!!!
****************************
