Don't some of those play sets have teeter-totters? I think when my cousins were small they had one of those.

It just depends, our old one had one, but we couldn't find anything like that when we moved. It seems like NOW is playset season, but we had it built right away, and went with this one from Lowe's

Gotta run! DS3 is pantsless and we need to get to the football game. See ya later!

Have fun (and put some pants on the kid)

I was thinking...I don't have to work a night shift until Wednesday . I am going to be home the next 4 nights .

The good news/bad news is the company finally decided to acknowledge me as a management person. The good news is i will be eligible for bonus, I will no longer have to forge DH's name on absolutely everything I do, and I can get paid for overtime (let me clarify...by no means would the company allow me to work without getting paid (i.e. overtime)...but since it would have gotten DH in trouble, it was not allowed ).

The bad news is I have to maintain 30 hours/week...but right now the extra income is still awesome (offsets DH loss of car allowance and the fact that our insurance deduction is GOING UP )

This is for Tinkermell and Sam (and bratty Lynn, who claims she is too young to remember this):

"Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

"Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads"

i DO remember it...but it was because my mom listened to him not me *stomps foot*

so i got up early this morning like 7 got ready and got tiff up, made her a lunch and we took her to jamba juice because she didnt want to eat too nervousbut i wanted her to have something in her stomach because she had to take some assessment tests... if they dont pass the assessment tests they cant take the class...so then we dropped her off and headed to one of the smaller malls called Tyler Galleria and went to Tuesday Morning...however, it wasnt open till 10 and it was only 9 so we decided to go in the mall and we ate breakfast at a place called Ruby's Diner...it was really cute in there...everything was red and white and it looked like an old 50's diner...I had cinnamon roll french toast and my aunt had a vegetable omlet...it was really good then we went back to Tuesday Morning...now ive never been in this store but have wanted to for a long time...we dont have one of those at home and ive always seen commercials for them...i cant tell you how disappointed i was ...that store sucked...i would NEVER buy anything in there...it looked like a glorified goodwill store..there is nothing wrong with thrift stores in general but the goodwill we have at home sucks and this looked just like it...then we went to a couple of grocery stores and tiff called about an hour ago to tell me they let them go early today....she aced the tests...said she got 100% i knew she would do it...so shes much calmer now and appears to be happy for that part to be over

I think you should ask her to sign a book for me.

Does that help?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Oh, and please fawn and tell her I loved Mary Poppins, the Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria, the Princess Diaries, and when I first heard her voice as the intro for Parade of Dreams it made me tear up! She IS Disney's greatest princess!

I asked him tonight, and he didnt' have anything. I asked specifically about BB, because we both loved it last time (so much we went twice!), but he said the boys didn't enjoy it, and therefore it just wasn't worth the price (with them.) So no BB this trip.

You know, I really liked dinner at Storytellers when we went with Lynn and Andrea. I coudln't taste my dinner, but it LOOKED yummy!

I LOVE storytellers for dinner! It is so freaking tasty! Oh... Bummer. Im not going there on this trip. Maybe I can con one of the women to head over there On friday or Sunday night.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

then we went back to Tuesday Morning...now ive never been in this store but have wanted to for a long time...we dont have one of those at home and ive always seen commercials for them...i cant tell you how disappointed i was ...that store sucked...i would NEVER buy anything in there...it looked like a glorified goodwill store..there is nothing wrong with thrift stores in general but the goodwill we have at home sucks and this looked just like it...then we went to a couple of grocery stores and tiff called about an hour ago to tell me they let them go early today....she aced the tests...said she got 100% i knew she would do it...so shes much calmer now and appears to be happy for that part to be over

We have a Tuesday Morning here. It's a tiny little store with what looks like clearance items from other stores, similar to Marshalls or Ross. The shelves/racks are crammed full, and you sometimes really have to dig to see everything (if you even want to bother.) I saw a few things the first time I went in that I kicked myself for not getting, because when I went back they were gone. But I've been in there maybe 3 times in about as many years, and only bought stuff once.

Wow, 100%? That's very cool!
I do hope she loves this, Lynn, it's very exciting!

 

[staley7580]

We have a Tuesday Morning here to. I have never been though.

GO LYNN!! How cool would that be? Good for Tif, doing so well on those tests.. Now she can settle in and enjoy her classes!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

So Staley, have you ever met anyone famous?

I've seen Gary Payton a few times (never wanted to approach, just gawk from afar ), but the last time a co-worker dragged me up to meet him and get a picture taken. I thought SHE was going to be int he picture too, but it was just me with Gary's arm around my shoulder.)

The whole time I looked like this, I'm sure and I don't think I said a word, she did all the talking. Oh, and she's maybe 5' tall on her best day, sweet but pushy!

No... I have never met anyone famous. I wish! I saw Guy Fierie (Ihave no idea if that is how you spell his name.) at Disneyland last June, but that is about the extent of my brushes with fame. He is one of the hosts on the food network.

Dh was on the elevator with some famous guy that writes role playing games at a con. once. (famous in HIS crowd )

My dad was parked next to Slick Watts once in traffic, so rolled down the window and shouted out to him. My dad was a big basketball fan back then, and Slick shouted back to him, they had a great time. I love it when you hear stories like that, these people act like regular people and not snubbing or getting annoyed. Though these days, GEESH! Fans are psycho, I don't really blame them for being afraid of some folks!

I know it! And those crazy paps. What is wrong with them? Can you imagine trying to grocery shop with someone taking your pic constantly?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Oh, and when I was 6yo I met J.P. Patches.

I was a Patches Pal way back when, so was very excited to meet him. We stood in a hugely long line at the mall to meet him, and he gave us something, I can't remember. Probably a sucker or something that has no value years later.

Anyway, my sister, who was 4yo, was kinda cranky from waiting in line so long, and by the time it was her turn to say hi to J.P., he noticed a big bandaid on her elbow and asked, "How'd you get that? Did you fall off an elephant?"

I howled in laughter. She got ticked off and snorted, "No!" and stomped away.
