Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, just keeping you in my prayers. I hope today is better. Take care of yourself and know your Wish Sisters are all here for you.

 

[Plumeria]

Boy, sounds like you had a rough week too! We had to put our sweet doggie to sleep on Tuesday. I hope your mom gets better soon.

Sending some pixie dust your way!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

It has been a long week. My dad was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday so I had both of my parents in the same hospital (totally different wings) for a few days. My dad is home now and my mom will be coming home later on today. Please pray that they would both stay compliant with their medications and that they would help each other through this challenging time. Thanks! :

Today's Plan:

* SR
* Grocery List/Menu
* Walmart
* Stop by and see both parents (very quick visit)
* Disney planning (29 days til ADRS!)

That's about all from here! Have a great Sunday!

oh dear Tracy i hope your parents get better soon - it must be taking its toll on you too
you & your family are in my thoughts

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Tracey.

It's been a long day. I mowed my parents' grass and our grass too. It took 3 hours and I am beat! Plan for the evening? Relax, watch a Disney planning DVD, and have a piece of cheesecake. Oh and go to bed early!!

Hope everyone has a great evening!

 

[toystoryduo]

Woke up kind of sore from all of that grass cutting yesterday! To be honest, cutting the grass was kind of therapeutic for me since I was able to work out a lot of stress. I'll tell ya...I was ready to fall into bed last night!

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* SR (almost to that $50 gift card!)

* 24 and laundry

* Work for DH

* Walk

Well, that's about all from here...Have a great Monday!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy, that was a lot of mowing, no wonder you fell into bed! I am glad your parents are home, and I will say a prayer they both do what the doctor says. I remember those days.

I hope you have a good day Wish Sis, and that today you get some time for yourself.


Which Disney Planning DVD do you like? I love the one from 2004 (Grand Gathering one). DD and I watch that a lot, it gets us in the mood!

 

[lovinaz]

How are your parents doing? I hear ya on the manual labor - I am not cut out for that nonsense! Usually the worst injury I could get at work is a papercut, now I have calluses on my hands from painting!

Now, for the most important question - what flavor cheesecake and how was it?

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy and Amy.

My parents are doing okay for the moment. As long as they take their meds and try not to get on each others' nerves, I think they'll be fine. (At least that's my prayer.)

We finished up Health yesterday and we are on track to finish History by the end of the week. Once those two subjects are done, we'll just be working on math, reading, and writing over the summer a few days per week. (Since we switched curriculum mid year, the girls are a little bit behind where I would like them to be.)

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling
* SR
* Kohls?
* Walk
* Work on ADRs

That's about all from here. Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad your parents are doing better. I've been praying!

Mowing grass used to be one of my favorite things....something that stayed done for more than 10 minutes!

Glad school is finishing fairly smoothly for you. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

 

[lovinaz]

Kohls is my favorite store!!! Hope you found some good deals!

 

[Plumeria]

Hi Tracy! I hope you are having a better week and your parents are feeling better.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Kohls at leat here is doing those Kohls bucks right now. Such a great thing! I am thankful that things seem to be settled down with your parents. They are still in my prayers and you are too!

I am amazed you can homeschool. I don't have the patience or the math skills!

 

[Lesli54]

Glad to hear that your parents are doing better. I am praying for you during such a stressful time.

I hope today is a much better day for you and you can get back to a more normal routine.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Wish Sis, hope today was a good one.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

It's been a long, but good week so far. Let's see....

* We went to Cedar Point on Wednesday and had a blast!

* I'm almost at the $50 mark for another Disney gift card at SR.

* The girls are almost done with homeschooling for the summer! (We'll be doing some things over the summer, but the majority will be done.)

We have a busy weekend ahead with birthday parties, cleaning, fixing our car, and my DH is deejaying. On Monday, we 'll head out to our local parade and then maybe have a picnic somewhere.

I weighed in this morning and showed a 3 pound gain. I know why....Lots of high sodium food this week. Will have to do much better next week to not show another gain.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

[momof2minnies]

Hi Tracy,
Oh that lousy sodium! I have that issue too.

Have a great weekend! I see you are working on ADRs - when are you going?

Linda

 

[lovinaz]

I LOVE Cedar Point!!!! I am SOOOO envious you got to go there!

Don't worry about the water weight, you know where it came from and you know it will come off soon!

 

[eyor44]

Hello. It's been a while I know. I'll explain on my thread when I am done reading everyone else's. How are your parents? Doing good I hope. I still can't do SR like you can, I keep trying though.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Linda, Amy, and Lisa!

Yesterday was a bummer of a day..We were going to go shopping, but my DH ended up working on our car all day long. He's still not finished yet. He needs to finish before I need to drop him off at deejaying this evening.....

We're going to hang out near home for the next two days. We were invited to my cousin's birthday party, but since my DH has to deejay, we don't have enough time to attend. We were also invited to my grandma's for a cookout tomorrow, but we've decided to go to the parade and stay close to home since my DH has a busy week ahead of him.

I ordered another $50 Disney gift card from SR! That may be the last one to arrive prior to paying our trip off at the end of the July. My goal will be to keep earning $50/month and the money that arrives after we have the trip paid off will go towards MNSSHP.

That's about all from here. Have a great Sunday!

Linda~ We're going to WDW in September for the free dining. Usually, I have no problem planning ADRs, but this time around, it is stressing me out. Hopefully, I will have them done by the end of the weekend. There's really no hurry since we can't make them until mid June, but I like to have everything set well in advance.
