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

[helenabear]

Amanda, our doctor told us to give it a week before we see the full effect. If he has inflamation of the esophogas, which we assume he does, it will take a little while for it all to feel better. I did notice a difference in the smell of the spit up this morning though. He's had a horrible acidic smell to him for a week or so now. Luis said he could even smell it in the house (I admit I don't notice as much since I am home almost all day). I am very hopeful that this will help.

I think my doctor must feel the same about pain because this little guy is growing like CRAZY!!! Most babies average about 5-7 ounces a week for growth. Our guy has been growing on average 10-11 ounces a week. He's not chunky or fat, he's just growing. He went from the 13 percentile to about the 60th in 5.5 weeks. I know that is causing some fussiness and probably some pain/discomfort as well that we probably can't help out with too much on. But she did agree that the screaming with the reflux (burps, yawns, spit ups...) was way too much. Some docs just say they'll outgrow it on their own after a few months if they are gaining weight fine. If she did that I would've talked to someone else

Morning!
Sorry OSU fans!
Elaine -thanks for reminding me of that. I meeting sweet little guys. that is definitely something to look forward to. Hope the meds help out.
Oh Amanda - we had exactly that type of meeting yesterday. We resolved nothing, even the one person who is our "major" problem just can't quit being so darn negative. I'm working in auditing and compliance now, so that should probably tell ya' something.
Well, Sherry you make me feel better. I'm not the only one who has more than one book going at a time, LOL. Everyone getting better at your house?
Paula - for more spending money! Hope you enjoy the new office hours.
Tara - any good stories from bowling?
Ok, does anyone even care about the Jags vs Patriots game this weekend?
Go JAGS!

So this morning I got up feeling like I wanted to dress a little more flirty. So I put on a pair of slinky material pants (mom calls them trampy) and cute little pink top. I finished it off with my boots that have the 2 inch heel.

I left my Wawa cup on my desk yesterday so I didn't have a cup to refill at 7/11 so I headed to Wawa to get a new cup and a doughnut.

I walked into Wawa with keys and cash in my left hand (no pockets on said trampy pants). While surveying the doughnuts a guy walks up and we begin to chat about the doughnuts. As i'm walking a way I dropped my money on the floor. He tells me that I dropped it so I thanked him and picked it up.

A few minutes later, i have my doughnut and my 44 oz Diet Coke in hand and I head to the register. Same guy walks up behind me in line and we begin chatting about having no pockets, which leads to the weather, and that he has lived here all his life.

I pay and turn to leave and he tells me to be careful not to drop anything. So now I have cash in one hand with keys and doughnut and huge drink and coin change in the other hand. I get to my car and i'm tryiing to figure out how to get my keys out to unlock the car door. So being brilliant...I set the drink on the sloping hood of my car. Yep...you guessed it....large drink falls over and spills all over the hood of my car.

I quickly try to pick it up and in the process drop my keys and money on the ground. I get the giggles.

Local guy comes out to see me dropping everything and helps me to pick it all up. He's laughing and I'm thoroughly embarassed. So I take my cup back in, with money in hand with keys, and ask if I can fill it back up since I dropped it on the ground and it is only half full now. They agree.

I walk out of the store and local guy is sitting in his truck and waves to me. I wave back. I walk to my car, go to move my keys from my left hand to my right hand and DROP my money again. I let out a rather loud SOB and then I get the giggles again.

I'm just getting into my truck when local guy comes running over and says he thinks I dropped something else. I said yes, but I picked it up.

So then he says, "So would you like to go out to dinner sometime?" I had the giggles already and just thought if he watches all of this and still wants to ask me out...he's probably an okay guy. So i said sure!

I gave him my cell number and my first name only. His name is Andy and he works as a land surveyor.

Only Susan Meyers would have a first meeting like that!!

I'll keep you posted!!
tara

 

[Pam]

WooHoo to Tara and the trampy pants!! You go, girl!!!

Elaine, glad that the Dr. is working with you to get Dom all better!

Sorry to the OSU fans!

RM - I really can't root for either team, sorry!

Paula, glad you're feeling better and so happy that you like working at the office!

Amanda - yay for working at home!! I need to get to the post office and bank and then really get cracking on the work!

Alan - yep, my kids are safely back at college! The poor dog is mega depressed! He just lays and sighs.... and won't let me out of his sight.

 

[alabamaalan]

Good morning, folks.

Lainey, I'm glad that the doc is at least listening and sympathetic. It sounds like your little guy is growing at quite a clip!

Rose and Amanda, sorry that the meetings are such a pain.

Tara, while I am not familiar with Susan Mayer (I did google to see she is a character on Desperate Housewives ), I would always put you in a class of your own.

But I hope this works out for a nice evening in the near future and that he sees you as wearing a "flirty ensemble" and not "tramp pants"

Good point Alan!! I hope so too!!

 

[Pam]

Tramp pants is better than a tramp stamp.....
I'm just sayin......

 

[dizneenut]

Took a nap on the couch with nephew. I must've been really tired.

Tara, on the "tramp pants" working for ya. Definitely sounds like a Susan moment.

Pam, had to at your tramp stamp comment.

Elaine, hope the med helps the little guy out. He sure is growing fast.

Rose Mary, sorry, I can't root for either team either. Everyone is feeling better now.

Alan!

Amanda, boo on unproductive meetings. Yay for working at home tomorrow.

Gotta start getting some lunch ready.

 

[isyne4u]

My mom wants me to correct the tramp pants thing...she says they are not "trampy" she says they are "sleazy". Sounds better doesn't it!!!!


I'm on the phone with her reading this as I type it and she jsut called me a bad name for that! She says what she really means is that they slide through her fingers when she tries to hang them up. Yeah right!!

 

[flrose]

trampy, sleazy, flirty...........new dwarves?
Whatever, you GO GIRL! Hope you have a nice evening out!
Ok, I'll root for my Jaguars all by myself! So there
Oh, time for lunch! Gotta jet! LOL

 

[believe]

Tara... You can only improve in his eyes Actually the ackward moment is over. On a side note, I think you are in the wrong profession and should consider writing short stories

Rose Mary...the meeting was to try to revise a current process, I think just as bad as your's.

Sherry...Can you take another nap, for me this time

Pam...Don't you always work from home??? I couldn't do that. I need to socialize and be paid for it.

 

[shep]

OMG--tara-- you always got some interesting stories..
Good Luck with the date...

Rosemary--I will be rooting for the Jaguars unless of course they play the Colts...I like Jacksonvilles chances but don't think they score enough to keep up with New England....

Elaine--
I think we were pretty lucky on the vomitting front...hope the little guy is doing better....

 

[flrose]

Well, THANK YOU Todd! And I can totally understand that when Jacksonville plays the Colts you will have to root for them! I think Jax. will put up a good fight but.........
I guess I should have broadened my question to include the Chargers, Colts, Seahawks, Packers, Giants and Cowboys, huh?

Tara - had to run to the Hess station for gas at lunch. Went inside to get a photo drink and personal pizza and came out w/my hands full. I about dropped my drink thinking about your story, but then looked around and didn't see anyone interesting.

Ok, yes I am bored and do not want to work.

Just got a call from my friend the auto mechanic that Cameron works with. He has come upon a deal for a '67 Mustang convertible in great condition. He did a little bartering for work on the guys Jeep and for $2000 we can get the mustang. DS will be so
I'm still having a hard time dealing with the thought of him driving.

 

[Pam]

Pam...Don't you always work from home??? I couldn't do that. I need to socialize and be paid for it.

Yes, I do 94% of my work from home - love it! I can't stand working with anyone! I still have to go into the main office one day a week when it's press crunch time. I also have to attend shows, conferences and media events - but I live to just sit in my home office with the dog and cat!

Fess up, it's because you weren't wearing trampy pants that you didn't spill your food, huh? And what in the heck is a photo drink???

Oooohhhh... I am so jealous - a '67 Mustang convertible! What color is the car and the top?

DS has a '94 Mustang convertible - teal body and white top. He's saving up for a new Camaro and I get first dibs on the 'Stang when he sells it!

It is scary when your kids start driving -- and then it gets even scarier when they head home to college and make 1.5-2 hr. drives home in the bad weather --or they head down to TN with a group of guys (well, DS did this, not DD! ) for a senior trip!

 

[flrose]

Imadork! How did I get photo out of fountain? And yeah, I figured I would save Tara's trick for when I was dressed appropriately. Or would that be inappropriately
Pam - I have not seen the 'stang but, he tells me it is red. I didn't even think to ask what color the top was. I was too at the price. All I could say was "we'll take it!". For that price maybe I should have asked if it had a top.
Teal Mustang?????????Why that is Jaguar colors. We need that car! LOL
I didn't think it got any better, the worrying thing. I'm gonna need drugs!

 

[Pam]

RM - I do know what a fountain drink is! But up here - we just grab a pop!

Teal is the Jag's colors?? We must sell this car immediately!



DS takes a ragging from a lot of guys over the color - I always crack up when the dude with a purple pick-up truck harasses DS for having a teal car!

Sorry about the worry thing! I know how that feels - I sometimes think I have the entire weight of our business and family on my shoulders!

 

[isyne4u]

Hi gang,

Glad I was able to give everyone a good laugh today!! It was quite a surprising twist to the morning!!

My mom told me that he must be insane to see all that, see the car seats in my car, AND still asked me out!!

I'll let you know if he calls tonight. He said he would call tonight! we'll see!

Cub scouts tonight! I'm going to sit back and watch and see what happens. I'll keep you all posted tonight on that too!!!

Okay, i'm outta here. I'm headed home to get some dinner and then go to cub scouts!! hehehehe

I'll do a better ketchup tonight!

hugs to you all,
tara

 

[dizneenut]

Rose Mary, sounds like a good deal on the Stang. I am terrified at the thought of my boys behind the wheel. Jonathan can take his test this spring. And Jordan will be 16 in a few weeks, so I'm sure he'll want his temps.

I can't root for the Cowboys AT ALL. Ewww!! Ewww!! Ewww!!

Tara, hope things go well at Scouts. And hope you get that call tonight.

Amanda, no time for another nap. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Oh my gosh - I am laughing so hard....Tara you are just too cute - I am so glad that your little comedy of errors had positive results!! Keep us posted .....And um ...mom....if they slip thru your fingers they are slippery - not sleazy!

Rosemary.....I hope we will still be sisters after this weekend......Jeffrey is a huge football fan - Pats rule on our house.

Elaine - hope Dom's tummy issues are slowly improving.

Pam - it was funny yesterday being at work and no kitty on my desk - even if it's not a permanent desk I've got to bring in some things to decorate - it looks pretty pathetic right now.

Speaking of work - I have no idea what I did or what happened but logging into my Outlook e-mail from the office caused me to lose all of my inbox mail..... I am so frustrated - I know it's my own fault for only keeping things in my inbox.....have no idea how to retreive anything and no one there could help me either.

Hi to Sherry - Suzanne - Kristy - Todd - Alan - Kimmar - Amanda.....

 

[helenabear]

Hi everyone! We tried to enjoy our spring like day we had and went for a walk. Then I caught up on a couple of movies that I had been wanting to watch. Nice to do that especially when the DIS isn't working well

Rose Mary, I'll keep on reminding you about meeting Dom now and then. He'll be turning 5 months old on the trip

Tara woo hoo for flirty/sleazy/trampy pants! That sounds like a wonderful way to meet someone. I think "silly stories" like that make for the best ones later on when saying how you met someone.

Hey, what's wrong with tramp stamps Pam?? Okay I don't have one, and find that area of teh body way over used for college girls to get a tat, but I still had to tease you

Sherry, glad you got a nap in. I finally got a little one in today.

Amanda, I know the feeling of needing to socialize That's why I got into volunteering more so I could get out and talk with people. Church really helped me to have the right people to talk to... so does the internet with IM

Todd, fortunately the amount of spit up isn't bad. The smell is just awful and I know it bothered him with the acid burning. Even a yawn could send him to tears

Holy crap Rose Mary!!! I cannot believe he is old enough to drive either

Paula, so sorry about the e-mail issue. I wish I could have been there to try to help you as well on that.

Howdy Alan!

Time to feed someone... have a good evening everyone!
