You really want to use that AP don't you!Get your money's worth out of it!
Wow, I just heard that Anna Nicole died today. So sad!
I need some opinions.....
We let Brittany have an IM account a few months ago. We laid down the rules of no IM with people she doesn't know, no personal info, no personal pages....yada yada yada! Well I do check who she is IMing and if it is someone I do not recognize I read the IM. Well while reading one from a screen name I did not recognize (it did turn out to be a school mate) it had her giving the address to her personal page. I checked it out and while it didn't have specific personal info, it did have her hair and eye color as well as her likes and dislikes. It also had a picture of Gracie and a picture of another one of her friends. I was so mad at her for breaking the rules and made her go in and delete everything. She is now grounded until further notice from the computer. I now feel after her breaking the rules she should no longer be able to have an IM account. Am I being reasonable or ridiculous? I am so not looking forward to these teenage years!!!!!!
In my opinion, you aren't over reacting at all...I wasn't in highschool that long ago (I know Brittany isn't that age yet but still) and many many people I knew were meeting up with people they met online and it is NOT good news...It's good to get a handle on this now before she gets to the age of going to the mall with her friends by herself, etc. and having the opportunity to meet different people.
It's a nice thing to have with supervision (IM) but maybe she isn't mature enough for it right now. JMO.
I don't know how it's going to work out when I have kids- because I've seen the bad consequences of it first hand and I'm totally aganist it at the moment!!

Sometimes I feel like I am an overreacting, overbearing, overprotective, strict parent compared to most of her friends parents.
Thank you Ashley! That is very good advice!
I wish parenting wasn't so tough! It sure wears me out!!!
I know it may seem like to her that you are being too strict- but its better to be safe than sorry! And in today's world unsupervised chatting when you are that young is too dangerous.
You are doing a good job!!
Hi Everyone. April was able to stay until Saturday. They have to move from Old Key West on Thursday to Saratoga for the remainder but who wouldn't move for a few extra days at disney.
On Saturday we were able to meet a member of the dream squad named Brandon. Unfortunately we didn't receive anything but he did tell us that if we send in a postcard daily, they do mail out prizes. I looked up the information here on the dis and found this address. I thought I would post it in case anyone is interested in giving it a shot.
You need to provide your full name, complete mailing address, daytime phone number, and date of birth on a 3.5x5 postcard.
The address is:
PO Box 8629
Elmhurst, IL 60126
Good luck
You know that if they ever start renting it out it would be like $5,000 at least a night, I'm really hoping to win a DVC membership.
Hi everyone!!
I got back in yesterday at about 4:30. I was so exhausted I went to bed early! The trip was fun- I'm glad I got to go. I did end up staying at French Quarter so it was very convienent.
Last night we had a scare because Ruby got in my carry on and ate a whole big piece of fudge I got myself from the Mainstreet Bakery.We called the vet and they said it shouldn't be that big of a deal because it isn't 100% chocolate. We had to give her some hydrogen perioxide to make her throw up, which she didn't do at first but then did a couple hours later and the vet was very happy to hear she got it out of her system! Needless to say, that wasn't a very good welcome home and I'm very relieved she is doing better!
It snowed last night and is very cold here!!! I thought it was cold in Disney- now I'm wishing our weather was like that here!!
Lyzziesmom- I didn't get any of your photopass pictures..but I would like to see the ones you have of mine!If you don't have my email, let me know and I'll PM it to ya. I hope Emma is feeling better tonight- she was so adorable on the trip I just wanted to eat her up!!
Oh, and I booked our WDW trip-- 7 night Western cruise and 6 days at the world in December. So, now I'm in planning mode-- driving my family crazy

I was trying to explain to Darin where I felt the pain (beside all over) so I told him to imagine a barbie doll and how you can pull their legs off, well that's were I have the most pain what I'm calling my leg sockets. I'm sure there is a better medical term but that's where it's the worst beside the front of my shins and all across my lower back. 
I think it was more running than walking going out my first time that did it, I just want to make it to the part of the marathon that goes through Magic Kingdom if I get picked up for my pace being too slow after that I'll be golden!!
Jumped out of bed, showered, hair, make-up, made my lunch and managed to be only 5 minutes late. Of course my hair was still so wet when I got there that it was actually frozen in spots!!! I am so lucky I live only a few blocks from school!
December will be here before you know it!!
(I want to go back)
