I couldn't help but smile at you! I'm going to bank on the TN trip, also! If you guys have that much faith and if I keep on keeping on with it, then "HE" just may come through for me! I hope so.
I hope your baby had a wonderful birthday. I remember those "potty training" days.Not fun! Mitchell was 3 years and 5 months before we finally got it down. And he is so stubborn, it was a very difficult time for all of us, but we finally made it through. I wish you all the luck!
b) need to borrow a pen, paperclip, piece of paper, etc. c) need to use the telephone d) need directions.
I'm such a devil. She turned around and then told me thank you, but I hope she remembers that is the least she can do when someone goes out of their way to help her. 
Thanks!
Hey, Lisa: how have those ghosts been behaving lately? I've been meaning to ask, but I keep forgetting.
And I was going to say, I need an attitude adjustment this morning. Rudeness is one of my biggest pet peeves in the world! I sit an office that has a half door at the end of a really long hallway. I'm not a receptionist and I am not "information", however I get interrupted 500 times a day by people who a) want to borrow change for the vending machine
I help however I can, but what irritates me more than anything is those who turn around and walk off w/out so much as "thank you". So, today that happened, and I sweetly said, "you're welcome!" just like I thought I heard them say it.
Ahhh. I feel better now!
We have a good vent system going. Hey Lisa would you like to join us on your board?
We've definitely gotten off topic!
WOOHOO
**Lost my post**starting over--hope I remember what I wanted to say
love the ice cream story and love the follow pics of the ice cream story
great update of Animal Kingdom!!!
I did not get any mickey mail back in May so good for you that you have three to "try"and use; look at this way they sent you mine
Ginny: great news on the retirement--it will go by soooo fast
and an Alaskan cruise that is also on our list. I really need to make an official list so we (I) can start the planning. I, too, want to do DL I plan to do that one when we do HI. Plan to fly to CA than to HI; cheaper to fly from LA to CA than to HI than from LA to HI
Mel: how exciting that you can retire at "44"; you can retire get a small part time job (if you want, of course) and enjoy your children (that's right I said children--banking on that TN trip)
Sorry I was MIA for all the conversations but
ASHTON turned "3" today; big boy on the way--if only we could use the potty on our own--we would really be on our way
(but, we are down to one diaper, and maybe two pullups a day
both the other two trained it seemed the day they turned 3. except w/the occassional night wet; I know he'll get it--if he would just learn the urge before we would have it made
mom & dad have been to HI, AL, and the Panama Canal--they have been lots and lots of places I will never go--dad had a great job and they had owned a flower shop at one time. So, for now I will be happy with travels in the US. I want to start seeing things in the midwest and the west coast (yellowstone, grand canyon, OR, WA and CA). My parents are travelers although I think they have slowed down quite a bit since dad retired at 55 (now 62) he lives off his "package" and took a big hit last Dec along w/everyone else.
So frustrating! But DH and I did it on our own and it was tough... Glad that's over with!

I had a miscarriage before I got pregnant with Lacey. The doctor told me I had to wait three months before trying again. We went to see my sister who lived in Colorado at the time and I got pregnant while there. Now, whenever anybody in the family mentions Colorado, my sister always has to chime in "John and Lisa had a great time there!".

I talk to John every day at lunch and he always asks about the ghost(s) too. His brother who worked with John to fix some stuff around the office is scared to death that the ghosts are going to do something to me.
No more books have been taken from the shelf. But, like I said before, I don't think it's going to because the fussing attorneys have now settled their dispute.
The ghosts still are playing their little tricks here and there.....doors opening and no bells ringing, doors being locked, my boss's green pens are constantly coming up missing, I still smell cigarette smoke, etc. On the long drive to Lacey's house, John, Mama and I talked about the ghosts. We are convinced that they aren't bad ghosts or they'd have done something to me personally. I figure they're just wanting to play around with our minds.
Do not worry, whatsoever, about venting. I totally understand. I hate rude people and the line of business I am in has a whole heck of a lot of them.
Just imagine how "pleasant", and I use that term loosely, people are when they come in to talk about divorce, or their ex didn't pay his/her child support, or how are we going to split the holidays up, etc. etc. etc.
I once had a guy call ranting and raving about his baby's mama and how if she didn't quit calling him, he was going to just shoot her. I calmly said...."I hope you don't because we don't do criminal defense work." and promptly hung up on him. He called back and apologized.
The other day, I had a guy get a bad attitude with me and I told him, point blank, "I don't know if you have a problem with me or a problem with women in general but you need to know that if you are rude to me again, I will go into my boss's office and tell him so. After that, whenever I see your name come up on caller i.d., I won't answer it. So, you can either adjust your attitude or I'll quit answering your calls." He was always very polite to me from that point on.
I usually do like you did today....I MAKE them say something nice. But, you can only do that for so long before you have to tell them like it is. I am very thankful that my new boss doesn't take crap from anybody. He has a great reputation for what he does and says that if they are rude to him or to me, we don't need them.
Now that's the end of my vent.
We have a good vent system going. Hey Lisa would you like to join us on your board?
We are so glad you came back to visit us on your board. We missed you but we managed to carry on without you.
Daycare was part of our problem. It's a smaller, home daycare with about twelve kids. I love, love, love our "Aunt Joan", but she did not potty train Mitchell. We had to do that at home and then at daycare he could wet his pants, they'd change him. Didn't matter to them.
I too had one before Sandi andI was going to Illinois for a week for a great-aunts birthday. The first time Don and I had been apart. We all know where that lead. Then I had another miscarriage before Sheri and at New Years we had gone to a party and came home really loaded (we were young, remember) and ended up sleeping on the floor. I don't know where the beds were. I always knew when I was pregnant cause I dreamed I killed my dad. Weird I know. But I had it only 4 times in my life. After I had the dream when I was pregant with Sheri I went to the Dr. the next week and sure enough. She was born the 2nd of Sept.
And you all wonder where I get these weird things. Wait till I tell you Porter Waggoner used to change my diapers.
If Porter Waggoner used to change your diapers, it's no wonder you think weird things. Your young mind was probably warped from seeing the reflections off all his jacket sequins. Oh my, I just realized that I am old 'cause I actually know who Porter Waggoner is.
Sometimes my boss can get a real attitude when it comes to taking care of his parents. Not a bad attitude.....a protective attitude. I had to take a firm hand to him sometimes.
Ginny! You are just about too much!
I hope to get another trip report installment up this afternoon. The boss was supposed to go with his mother to the doctor at 10:30 and she went without him. Smart girl!
By the way, remember how I had the Intercot people fussing at me. Well, I posted a note on my trip report over there saying I was sorry if I offended anybody. I have gotten nothing but nice responses back from my readers. As a matter of fact, I've had over 500 hits on the report since I posted my "apology".QUOTE]
Does that help? I told you I read the reports over there. Yours is by far the best (even though you left out the good parts) and has more posts than anyones. They must be one boring group.
