Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 2

[luvdzne]

Good Morning!

Donna thanks again for breakfast. It will go good with a cup o coffee!

I can only imagine what came up googling sticky buns. I bet your eyes were burning this morning!

Lesa...boy sounds like a rough go for Madison. Has she been hospitalized before for her asthma? We are really lucky that we never get to the severe stage because he usually just gets tight airways with broncospasms...never get too gunky or wheezy. On a rare occasion if his oxygen saturation is fine (which it always is) they will give us the narcartic cough meds....only if he is dry non-productive cough. It's great stuff but they are so stingy with it. Did you DH remove the skull and bones?

Thankfully Madison has never had to be hospitalized. However as she gets older the asthma seems to be getting worse. Quick funny story....Everytime the Dr. gives her a nebulizer treatment in the office it costs me $50 and with my great insurance I have to pay out of pocket for it. Well I got smart, yesterday I brought Madison's nebulizer and our own medicine to the appointment (hers is a small portable one). When the doctor said he was sending in the nurse to give her a breathing treatment I pulled out the machine and asked him if he minded if I gave it to her. The look on his face was priceless. I guess no one ever brings there own medicine and equipment. I gave it to her and saved myself $50. She sounds better today and she slept in an extra hour, I on the other hand did not get the extra sleep because I was awake waiting for her to get up.

The bones are still there. Dh said he will get them this weekend. I always wanted to live on a burial ground!

2x.....I will assume it is a thumb! By the way, I think you should lay off the bottle for awhile!

I hope everyone has a great Thursday and remember Greys Anatomy is on!

Did you see where a kid got stuck in a claw machine? He looks like he was having the time of his life.How on earth did he get in there?
Linda....I hope Kenny is feeling better soon! Sorry I had to laugh about his little potty mouth! Been there done that with Madison at preschool. It's not so funny when it's your own.

claw machine...sounds like something Kenny would love!
I have to laugh too..when he's not around. My mom busted out laughing when I told her about it. She of coarse came back with...remember when you were 3 and gave the neighbor "the bird" Who me

I'm coming down with a cold and kind of feel like crap.
Oh, you guys!!! I'm was reading this at home by myself and couldn't stop laughing!!! Thanks.. I needed that!!!
Linda::Have you made any decisions yet???? Kenny answering the phone calls cracks me up. It's funny, I can almost imagine the expression he used as he was telling you what he had done!!!
Hope everyone is having a good evening!!!

Hope you get feeling better! Glad you got a good laugh. It kills me that rotten look like they have!! Mike told me to sit down and right down all the figures and what's included to sit down and compare. I REALLY want to do the combo and get a cruise out of my system. They are so awesome and relaxing. Its like a slice of heaven Good luck to your dh for his trip. Sounds like they'll need some p&pd for that trip!

Linda, Kenny is hilarious. I don't have kids but since I work around them all the time I have to share this story. This poor mother. There was a mom in with her kids, about 5 of them and I would put the oldest at 9. They were in the store for a loong time and I could tell she was a little perterbed about something. They finally made it up to the register and one of the little girls was crying because she wasn't getting an Ariel jacket. The mom looked at her and said something about how their lazy dad couldn't remember to balance the checkbook correctly so they couldn't get it right now. The 5 year old looks straight at me with the most nonchalant look on her little face and says, "Mom and dad are going through a very messy divorce. They really need counseling." The look on that poor womans face was priceless. It went from white to red to purple in a matter of seconds. Poor thing.

On another note, Linda, have you been to Nassau before? I hated it! The excursions were pretty lacking and the island was incredibly dirty and filled with people trying to beg money off of you. We didn't do the Dolphin swim though so hopefully it will be better.

awww. that poor kid. They have to hear and see too much sometimes! but yes, I've been to Nassau before. I wasn't impressed either But Cozumel wasn't much better... so those places I've found its best to either stay on the ship and enjoy having it to yourself or do the excursions. I've heard good things about the dolphin swim...but we still haven't decided yet.

I'm kind of feeling like crap myself...having allergy problems...feels like my head is going to explode any minute.

Hope you get feeling better soon

.
Did I ever post the Godiva story???? If not, remind me.

Linda----too funny about Kenny's new (one time only) vocab!!! Poor little guy---never knew what hit him. My cousin's daughter, years ago, said it in front of my grandma in the car-----used it in the correct context and everything. My gram was in shock but still had to share the story with us. She never said this word in her life so she substituted the word, if I recall.

For those of you asking for pics----haven't had time to try to figure out how to download/upload/unload-----whatever one must do to get pics from the camera to this screen. Oh, and pics of me????? guess again. Didn't I mention that my siggie is a self-portrait??
"isn't wine a bad drug??" Great-------just the impression Auntie wants to leave on her precious boy.

Ok...now I'm going to remember to ask for the soup story and Godiva story

you cant get your pix? Do you have a card reader? I just take my card, put it in the card reader and it automatically has a pop up screen that takes you through copying them on your computer. Then you upload them on photobucket or where ever you want. If you need help, let me know.
love the self portrait
isn't wine a bad drug awww.. that's so cute! Aren't they just priceless!!!
I have to admit when I heard the fireworks I had to think for a second too..
"what is that???"... oh..duh

I have a similar story. Mike is a beer and wine salesman. A couple years ago Tyler learned about drugs in school, including alcohol. Tyler adores Mike (at one point, he requested that Mike be his brother and I be his sister-in-law) anyway, Tyler loves to talk about Mike. My mom calls me one night to tell me that Tyler told his teacher that Mike sells drugs!!
My mom had to explain that he sells only LEGAL substances. For quite a while, Tyler would walk around saying Mike sold drugs thank god he stopped.

that's too hilarious!! no...no decisions yet. I really wanna do the combo...but trying to get the best deal possible. Yes..its an obsession

Thankfully Madison has never had to be hospitalized. However as she gets older the asthma seems to be getting worse. Quick funny story....Everytime the Dr. gives her a nebulizer treatment in the office it costs me $50 and with my great insurance I have to pay out of pocket for it.

She sounds better today and she slept in an extra hour, I on the other hand did not get the extra sleep because I was awake waiting for her to get up.

Good thinking Lesa glad you can save that $50 a pop!! That can add up quick! Glad she's never had to have been hospitalized too. I bet his face was priceless!! They're use to getting to charge an arm and a leg for every little thing

Kenny is finally BETTER I asked him this morning if he got his beauty sleep...and he said "no mom...girls get their beauty sleep...I just get boy sleep"

Thanks for a great breakfast Donna...as usual!

Have a great Thursday everybody

Morning all.

Well, I did something REALLY stupid last night.

After me and the boys got home from swim team practice, I got them in the tub, and they took a bath. After they went to bed, I put their suits, towels, clothes, and my clothes in the washing machine and washed the clothes.

They got done washing just before I went to bed, so I put the clothes in the dryer. Then, I kept hearing this LOUD banging in the dryer. Turns out, I washed my cell phone.

Luckily, I have insurance on it, so it will only cost me $50 to have it replaced. And I should get the replacement within a couple of days.

Stupid me!

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

pozey, at least you have insurance. I have washed our cordless phone before. I have no idea how I did that.

 

[lyzziesmom]

pozey, it could be much worse. I used to have a friend who washed his cat. The poor thing liked to sleep in the laundry basket, got some laundry dumped on him and kept sleeping. It was his last sleep.

Sorry for the downer.

On a happier note, the job that I've been interviewing for (did I mention I had yet another phone chat with them yesterday) called again this morning to make sure they could call my boss for a reference. Looking good! And it turns out I sort of misread the vacation policy... if you start after the first of the year, your vacation days are prorated and the most you can get is 5. If you are already employed by Jan 1st, you get 2 weeks. Looks like it may be decision time around here very soon!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Funny thing happened to me last night. Since it was a quiet night at home, I took my Ambien and went to sleep early, around 9:30. At 10:30, I was awoken by my doorbell. Groggily thinking DBF had popped over to surprise me, forgetting that he doesn't use the doorbell so as not to wake the munchkins, I popped out of bed (well, as much as the Ambien will allow me to pop. More like floated) and opened the door. Imagine my surprise when I saw three police officers on my porch, and another one on my lawn! Apparently a neighbor called them because I left my garage door open. Keep in mind, I have not met any of these neighbors, only the one on the other side of my house from where the garage is. The police were just checking that everything was ok, but geez was I startled! And the best part is... I almost forgot to close the garage door after talking to them. D'oh!

That is EXCELLENT news lyzziesmom. Sounds like the job is yours for the taking. I would work the vacation deal to your best advantage.

Well, after letting my cell phone dry out a little, it will at least turn on. I can make calls, however the person on the other line can't hear me talk. My biggest concern was being able to get my stored numbers off of this one onto the new one when it arrives.

 

[lyzziesmom]

Good luck with getting your cell phone working, pozey. That's good news that it can turn on so you can get your numbers out! When I switched phones I was afraid I would lose my numbers, and not be able to call anyone until they called me first! I was once at a friend's house where someone's phone got dropped into the hot tub - don't ask. They were able to dry it out with a hair dryer, and within a few hours, it started working again.

Kinda scary. I would HATE to be woken up in the middle of the night by police officers. Actually a nice thing to do by the neigbors.

I have had 2 similar occurances happen......

Several years ago, the phone rang at about 2:00 a.m. We didn't wake up in time to answer it, so I went and checked the Caller ID. It was the Wagoner County Jail. I got real scared that someone I knew had been thrown in jail. So, I called the number back. The officer apologized and said he called the wrong number.

The other time was just a couple of months ago. It was about 9:00 p.m. and the doorbell rings. It is the county Sheriff. I answer the door and ask what was wrong. He said is this the so-and-so residence? I tell him no, they live across the street. So he went over there. Never did know why.

 

[pozey]

I'm bored and I brought my camera to work........

So, I decided to take a few pictures out my window......Now, it is very dreary here today, plus the outside of the window is very dirty.

Here's my view:

If you look real close, you can see the downtown Tulsa skyline way out in the distance.

And yes, being a golf fanatic.....I have to look out over a golf course every day:

Good afternoon!

Thanks for breakfast Donna!

Pozey- I'm glad you got your phone to work, kind of. It looked like that over here earlier, it was raining off and on throughout the morning, but now the sun is out.

Angela- I hope they can find out what you have.

2X- Get your pics on a cd, that's what I do.

Lyzziesmom-That's great news about the job!

I had to take my sister to the mall to pick up some paperwork for a job she applied for this morning, and passed by the Cheesecake Factory and thought of ya'll. Arrghh... my coworker has a cold and she was all over my desk while I was gone! I can not get sick 2 weeks before my trip! She was sick around the time I went to WDW and I was so paranoid I was going to get sick! Well I guess I need some more Zicam.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Linzybrooke]

Lyzziesmom, Its nice to know your neighbors are watching out for you! Even though it was wierd to find out that way... That would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Pozey, my brother-in-law did that a couple of weeks ago. Totally fried the phone. And my best friend dropped hers in the toilet earlier this month! It is just not the month for cell phones!

 

[Linzybrooke]

Hmm..my ticker stopped showing. wierd.

I FINALLY finished my resume, I think... I never realized they were such a pain to write. Now I just need to write a cover letter, which is an entirely new beast to me. Eeek!

 

[luvdzne]

pozey does your cell phone have a sim card? If so you should be able to copy your phone book on it and transfer it to your new phone. I just had to do that.

You know for a techie guy like me.....I don't know if it has a sim card or not. I think it does, but I'm not sure.

I actually got it working this afternoon. I let it dry out and it came on, and I was actually able to use it.

I still will need a new one because the screen is messed up.

 

[lindakmonty]

If you do it will be under your battery.

Good evening everyone!!!
Well, I got DH on the plane to Phoenix. He called when he landed, but haven't talked to him since to know when his sisters are going to arrive from Denver. I believe Denver ended up with about 6" of snow.

Lesa:: Thanks so very much for the cup of coffee!!! I usually need several cups in the morning to get me going!!!
I'm glad Madison is feeling a tiny bit better at least. Hopefully she will be back to herself soon!!! Good for you for saving $$ at the Dr.'s office!!

Linda:: So happy that Kenny is feeling better. So, is boy sleep better than beauty sleep?? I guess it depends on if your a boy or a girl, huh??


pozey:: I'm glad you were able to recover your phone #'s. You do laundry??!! Pozey are you SURE you're not a Stepford Husband or something?? You just seem too good to be true.

lyzziesmom:: Good luck with the new job possibility!!! I'm keeping my finger crossed for ya'!! The neighbors called the police before 10:30pm? My they are really watching out for you, aren't they!!

Nicole:: Your Vegas trip is coming up in what...about 2 weeks? I hope you can stay healthy and not catch all this stuff that is going around. The change in weather always drives my sinuses crazy!!

Lin::You mentioned completing your resume. Are you looking to leave the TDS. If you have posted about this before I must have forgotten.

Linda, I just noticed your post about the Disneyshopping.com sale. I might
have to check out the Christmas decor.

Hi to everyone!!

 

[Linzybrooke]

Hey Donna. I'm not completely sure at this point. I LOVE my job, but I have always wanted to work actually at Walt Disney World. I actually started working at TDS with plans to transfer to WDW upon college graduation. But, I got engaged and they sold the chain and we lost our tenure (6 years!) and transfer ability. So, Chris and I are still a couple of years from adding kiddos to our family equation and we both feel that if we are going to ever move to Florida we need to do it sooner rather than later before we do have kiddos and find it difficult to leave.

So, I've talked with a recruiter and they want me to submit my resume. Think happy thoughts for us!

 

[luvdzne]

Donna 1000 posts!
I'm glad your dh got there safely!
