No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
No picture?!? Camera phone, something?
Nope! No picture. I had to explain to the kids why I was laughing so hard. They just didn't see the humor in it like I did.
You guys are too funny!
What is a PTR?
DD had her extractions done yesterday (5 teeth-1 adult and 4 baby-one of the baby teeth was impacted) She was a champ and is doing great.
I tell her she's on her way to a million dollar smile (probably cost us that in the end)even after braces she will need 2-3 implants because she is missing 5adult teeth(that was even before the one they "had" to pull) poor thing-but she's a trooper.
DH is in CO, called to tell me all about it-it's really hard to feel sorry for him, ya' know!
Check back later-DD wants icecream little fiend-she knows I would never let her get away with that as a breakfast choice
Ice Cream! Ice Cream! http://bestsmileys.com/icecream/1.gif[/img How is DD doing this evening? Still feeling good?
[quote="M&N, post: 26295725"][B]My Annapolis Adventure[/B]
I left home at 7am met Ruth at 7:30 and got to York around 8. The Red Lion Bus took off at 8:30. We had another stop to pick up several but arrived at the Naval Academy in Annapolis around 10:15.
Our bus had to split into 2 groups for the tour. We had a 72 yr old NY Italian...who acted like the typical NY Italian. He was funny. We walked around and went into Bancroft Hall. This is the 2nd largest dormitory in the world, the largest is in Russia. They had a replica of a midshipmen dorm room. Memorial Hall was beautiful. They are very proud of their history and those graduates who went on to serve and honor our country. We were able to go into their Chapel. It was beautiful too. On the lower level is a beautiful Italian marble crypt where John Paul Jones is buried. He was born in Scotland in 1747but came to Virginia in 1773.
We next walked about 2 blocks toward the harbor and Philips Seafood where we walked upstairs and sat with a view of the harbor and boats. Some chef talked and demonstrated how to make crab cakes. Our lunch included soup, crab cake sandwich and ff, with cheesecake for desert. (Most at my table agreed the cheesecake was better than the crab cake .)
We had about an hour to walk around the shops near the harbor. We boarded the Harbor Queen for a 40 min ride. Ruth and I went topside and the wind kept us from getting too hot. It was a beautiful day. Time for us to leave...around 4:10. We knew the traffic would be bad.
Ruth and I had the 3rd row on the right. The traffic was bad but we had not stopped. Its hard to tell how fast we are going in a big bus. I looked out the window and saw a blue car up near our door. It was swerving out of control. It was close to us...no swerved away...I could see the ladys arms try and turn right but the car came closer to us and...crunch and scrape. I made some noise and Ruth looked kind of behind my head and saw her bang the medal guard rail. Our driver of course heard the crunch and had to move over the 2 lanes and get to the shoulder. By this time we had rounded a little bend and could not see behind us but traffic was still coming. Everyone on my side was saying what they saw. They said she hit the guard rail so hard, it lifted it up. The bus driver gets out and gets on his cell. Another man walked back with him to see what happened. The blue car ended up against the concrete barrier that divides the highway. No one was hurt. No other car hit. It really was a miracle. Apparently she claimed a green car hit her. She doesnt remember hitting the bus. People up front in the bus thought she tried to swerve to miss debris that was falling off an SUVs trailer. Anyway, we were there almost 2 hrs. The state policeman had to have all our names and addresses and birthday. He asked if we were hurt. Ruth and I got off bus because we saw her hit and had to verify to the policeman a blue car hit us. She hit just below me. The bus did not move sideways or anything. The bus driver said we were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I feel just the opposite. If that lady had hit another car, who knows what would have happened. She certainly would not have bounced off like she did the bus. The state policeman told us there were 2 kids in the back seat. I really look at it as a miracle. We got back to York at 7:25. Ruth and I ate at Cracker Barrel and I was back home by 8:55.
Hope you can see why I was weary last night![/quote]
Nothing like a little excitement to get the old blood pumping! I'm so glad that nobody was injured.
[quote="lighttech, post: 26295739"]Morning all. Haven't caught up, but wanted to say "hi." Dropped DS off this morning at the Y for his very first field trip! (don't have time to surf... insert sappy crying mommy smilie here.) Seriously though, he's so excited. I can't wait to hear all about it when I pick him up tonight. :)
Back later...[/quote]
So how did DS do? Did he have a good time?
Hello [B]DL55[/B]! Happy to see that you dropped by today.[img]http://bestsmileys.com/happy/1.gif
The last time we went I would get my comfy clothes (lounge pants, etc) on and head down to the food court to get a hot tea before bed so I could relax a little. I would wear flip flops and usually a lite jacket since it was December and a little cool.
for DD. Poor little thing.

Luckily no one was hurt.

Real answers instead of the usual "you're planning this vacation, whatever you want to do." 
Don't they still boo Jeffie at the races? Oh year, I forgot, they all boo KB now. 
2 days with no kids {{sigh}} Oh what I wouldn't do for that. I'm going to have to work on getting my DH a little to take the kids out for a day, I think.
