Welcome to the YaYa's: YYotC at Castaway Cay Part 3

[2bemarried]

Afternoon all..

I'm feeling much better today! I did NOT like waking up at 7:30 this morning but it's okay. I'm almost glad to get back into a routine again.

Thank you all for the hugs and kind words. I think of you all as honorary family members! Tara you had me laughing. I have several friends here who've offered up their kids for a week or two There have been several days recently that I've said I don't need kids. I have one already. He just happens to be 41 going on 2.

So we're moving on and my dear husband has reminded me that all remodeling will have to wait till tax time and our savings account is replenished. I took a good chunk out for the car.

Ketchup time:
Sherry I'm sorry that the sickies have attacked you now

Pam I hope the saleslady gives you the right price

Elaine sorry you weren't able to sleep as much as you had wished!

Tara sorry you're feeling yucky. YAY on Jar liking his new meds!

Alan at least you admit that you're a slob

RM I agree that you should tell the bosses their work is interfering with DIS time

Amanda 4am?? YIKES!!! I don't think all the exercise in the world could give me enough energy to get up that early!

okay...I gotta get back to work now...toodles all

 

[alabamaalan]

Amanda...whew! i'm glad someone is working out! Please make sure you do enough for the rest of us! I've been doing a lot of jumping to conclusions, dancing around the issues, chasing my tail, and various other events...but they just don't seem to help me lose any weight!

Yay for Jarrod having such a great day. Wouldn't it be awesome if just a med change makes that much difference?

DD and I went to look at wedding dresses yesterday.

I..have..two...

Feeling blah this morning. I now have a full fledged cold. I did get to sleep in this morning, though.

I hope you are feeling better soon

Lainey, I am sorry you weren't able to take advantage of a chance to sleep last night, and hope that handsome cuddly guy is having a good day.

 

[helenabear]

Reminding myself that this will end some day and that the peak of it is about now...

Sherry sorry you picked up a cold. I hope it won't be too bad for you

Kristy glad you are feeling better. Oh and i should say I am glad to offer up Dom for a month or so What remodling do you have planned?

 

[Pam]

Reminding myself that this will end some day and that the peak of it is about now...

Awwww..... Toots! I am so sorry. I hope things improve for you real soon! I remember being so tired and wore out with my DD that one night I had totally "had it" and started slugging DH with both fists and screaming not very nice words, too! I mean, come on, the baby's shrieking at the top of her lungs and you're in bed, faking snoring! In my opinion, he deserved every bit of abuse I heaped on him that night!

Kristy glad you are feeling better. Oh and i should say I am glad to offer up Dom for a month or so

Oh sweetheart - a month ain't gonna do it - several years should, though!

Haven't you read my post about wedding gown shopping??? And I know that Dom's a boy - but I have one of those, too and we had to travel almost 30 miles for him to rent a tux for Prom last year --- that's how fussy the boy is!

 

[helenabear]

Pam, I did read your post and got interrupted while posting so I gave up. Luis is home now taking care of Dom. I'm going to get in the shower soon and have a very good cry. I don't want to give up Dom for a few years... just through the worst of the colic stage

I was actaully going to seriously suggest looking into a gown maker. You might be surprised with the type of gown you can get for the cost. Remember my cousin made my gown and I was able to have 10 yards of hand embroidered organza from Puerto Rico
But seriously, good luck with the whole gown shopping thing. I've done enough of that in my life to last me a while (I did shop for myself at first and then have gone with others)

 

[believe]

Alan...I think we are going to pay our's to elope.

Elaine...it will pass and I would say you won't remember it, but you will. The only difference is you will look back and see how wonderful he turned out and not mind those years as much.

Tara...Glad the meds appear to be working. I hope they continue working for Jared.

I am boxing up the donation stuff and then I think I am going to relax for the night.

Have a terrific evening everyone!

 

[Pam]

Elaine

I guess slugging Luis is not an option for you, huh? (You are a much nicer person than I am! ) I just figured that hey, DH could use a little pain and suffering, too!

I hope your cry is therapeutic - crying is always a good release for me!

The saleslady at the dress shop is going to call back tonight after she talks to the owner - she really wants DD to have this dress - let's keep our fingers crossed!

The good thing is that we have time -- so we can shop around, and yes, I thought about having someone make the dress, too!

 

[dizneenut]

Lost our power for almost an hour this afternoon. Of course, right when I had put lunch in the oven.

Crossing my fingers for you, Pam. Hope she comes through. This is why I am glad I have all boys.

Elaine, hope your cry helps you. I think a good cry every once in awhile is theraputic.

Amanda, enjoy your relaxation time.

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Hello from the deep freeze!! Temps never got above 10 today!!

Tara - so glad the new meds are working for Jar - count that as your New Years Miracle! Now we just need to get you heathy lady!!

Pam - yikes on the gown!! I've been watching the bridal shop reality show on TLC (lame yet addicting) - I hope the salesperson does right by you.

Kristy - hugs to you and Derek - I know that this is not the direction that you may have planned for your lives together - the important thing is that you came to the decision together and have great love to share.

Amanda - you've inspired me with your clean up efforts - I'm working on donations for Big Sisters this week. Now if you can only inspire me to exercise.....

Sherry - hope it wasn't too cold when your power was out.

Elaine - neither of my kids were colicky but Alyssa was a fussy nurser and me as an inexperienced mom made for many tears - so I know what you are feeling - hopefully this will pass quickly.

Suzanne - how's the bowling going?? I expect to see pics of you and Ed in matching Wii bowling shirts!!!

Not much going on here - busy with work - have a meeting tomorrow to set my new schedule - may go to the movies tomorrow with Alyssa - had to give Chris $$ to buy new insulated steel-toe boots for work (darn - should have bought him that for his b-day!). My friend/Alyssa's godmither is coming this weekend and we are going out to lunch!!

Working now - I'll check in later.....

 

[helenabear]

Amanda, I do hope I forget some of it... at least how it made me feel I hope you do get to relax and enjoy your evening!

Pam, cry was good enough. I am relaxing now while Luis takes care of Dom. He isn't near as bad at night as he is during the day. Good luck with the dress though. Oh we need pics of it... designer all that

Sherry, so sorry you lost the power. Especially while cooking lunch. It always happens that way though, doesn't it?

 

[kimmar067]

....Kimmar, so where are the Florida pictures?....

...uhhhhh, okay.....

...view from our room...

...on the way to our room...

...the Dolphin Christmas tree....

...leaving the boat launch...

...the Grotto pool...

....our room was the center room (the first one on top that has a balcony)...

 

[dizneenut]

Morning!

Lost our power again last night, not long after I last posted. Came back on after about an hour. It got cold, really quick. The whole neighborhood was dark as could be...it was really eerie.

Paula, sounds like you have a fun weekend planned. What movie are you going to see?

Elaine, glad your cry helped.

Kim, great pics.

 

[believe]

Morning...

Didn't sleep well again, but feel more awake than yesterday. Still fighting sinus, cold or something.

Sherry...no heat Not the best time for that. Couldn't it have waited till the weekend when it is suppose to be warmer At least for us it is suppose to be.

Paula...boxed up the donation items. Hope to get them to Goodwill this weekend. As for exercising, I was up at 4am again. Did weights today. Hoping the weather is nice and I can get outside this weekend, but if I don't sleep better in the evenings I will be sleeping during the daytime this weekend.

KimR...the pictures make me homesick....thanks for sharing. I so need a vacation.

Pam...Did the lady call back?

Happy Friday everyone!

 

[Pam]

Kimmar - wonderful photos! I *love* the Dolphin tree!

Amanda, I did talk to the lady, she wasn't where I wanted to be price-wise. I had done some research and knew what the sample gowns usually were sold for, I think I shocked her. She was supposed to call the owner and then she's going to call DD. If it's to be, it will happen, if not - we'll keep looking.

Good job on cleaning and boxing up things for donation!

Sherry, are you supposed to have a big thaw? It was done around 7º last night - supposed to hit 50º on Sunday and be 60º on Tuesday! We have electric heat - it's horrible when the power goes out!

 

[helenabear]

Morning all... kind of chilly here (at least it feels that way in the house)

Sherry, what is causing the power outages in your neighborhood? We used to get a ton of them in the summer during rain. Fortunately they upgraded the power lines and we haven't had much issue since.

Paula, good luck setting the new schedule. I also hope you stay warm in the cold temps.

Kimmar, where are teh WDW shots? I like the Swalphin, but I like WDW more

Amanda, sorry you didn't sleep well again. I hope you get some sleep soon.

 

[flrose]

Mornin'.............
Been doing my share of the last couple days. 2008 is not starting out well for me. So, how much more before I run dry? Geez, I really hate to cry at work. Oh well, this too shall pass.............
to all..............

 

[alabamaalan]

Maybe you are getting the worst of it out of the way quickly Rose Mary but I hope it gets better for you soon.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Kimmar!

Pam, Luis may not want to know that you are giving those ideas but it sounds like he is helping out enough not to warrant it, thankfully

Just a quick howdy and hope everyone is having a good day.

Rose Mary

Are you okay? Anything I can do to help?

Pam, Luis may not want to know that you are giving those ideas but it sounds like he is helping out enough not to warrant it, thankfully

I'm just trying to help, Lainey! And everyone knows that no matter what's wrong, it's the man's fault!

Just kidding, just kidding! Don't go getting your knickers knotted up in a bunch!

 

[shep]

Happy New Year everyone..

I have been lingering..

Rosemary--

Elaine--
No new pics?

Pam--

Sherry--no heat? wait, that also means no wii?
We are fortunate to have gas heat or the electric portable heaters...
GLad the heat is back..
Now, I need to figure out how to get more mii's...I maxxed out..
I will need to call Jr. again from my cell...
Hope the long distance bill is minimal..
Stupid cell phones can be a pain to talk on sometimes..

Paula, Alan, John, Suzanne, Lily, Tina, Kristy, Karen, Tara, Betty--
Forgotten ya yas---

Was getting rental car rates for our trip and the dollar place in Colorado Springs had no internet...wth? They were also $150 higher than budget.
Went through budget and got a car for 15 days for $413...no for those airline tix... the only thing i haven't taken care of...that one is going to hurt...

 

[helenabear]

Aww Rose Mary I hope that whatever is bothering you gets better soon!

Pam, you'd be proud of me. During labor (even though it wasn't too painful for me) I did "smack" Luis and say to him "you did this to me... I hate you"

Todd, you need to get digital phone like we have. No long distance bills ever

As soon as I get myself something to eat, it will be bath time for Dom I think.
