ETA: Oh, Nascar.
My mom, dad, brother, and I are headed down to the shore to vist my grandparents
Thanks, but no. I got rid of Nascar when I got rid of my husband.You're not from the south, are you?
The Richmond race is always in May and Sept. I double checked to be sure. Just in case you want to watch it.

When are my tickers going to show back up?
I'm sneaking back on, because I definitely wanted to address Steffy's issue.
Steffy, your grandkids are so blessed that you live nearby. You're only one person, and you're not going to be able to attend every event in their lifetimes. Just don't miss graduations and weddings. In this case, you could let your granddaughter tuck a special token from you into her uniform, so she knows you are thinking of her.
Thanks for the well-wishes for my kiddos!
Elizabeth, be sure to buy a new nail file at Target! Congratulations on mastering the art of dentistry!

Hello all! We're home.
Robyn, Lucy's pictures are adorable!
Poor Leighanna was so wiped out after a week of school!
She loves it, so I guess that is all that matters!
She has contracted a cold of some kind. That kid can't look at a germ sideways without it affecting her someway.
Better to have it now, I guess. She at least has time to get it out of her system so that we can be "cold free" for Disney!
27 more days people! 27 more days!
Robyn - I am sorry about your MIL drama. She is a snot, isn't she? Anyway, try not to dwell on her. Molly will use the potty when she feels like it. They all do. My favorite parent educator says the most important thing to remember is that you can not control what goes in or what comes out. You can not force a child to eat and you can not force them to use the potty. Molly will get there.
The pics are fabulous! Lucy is so sweet!
I hope if Baba does decide to come back she can go about it gracefully. I do hope the girls get to see her because I think that's important to them.
Stephanie - How many days are in your weekend? You made me tired reading about it!
Great slideshow Robyn!! I don't know what to say about your mil.
Forgot to mention, change my bedding from the summer Mickey to the fall Mickey. Clean off my dresser, send in my rebates, put pictures in my DISNEY frame and hang it up!!! file and analysis my bills, box up and mail the guidebook I got for my almost grandson.
Robyn the slide show of Lucy is perfect
Looks like you've got a new job.
Try to gauge where the majority of people are from and then look for a beach nearest to them and one that has a near by airport(s). Then, book it for off-season rates. We always go in October but you could do it in the Spring. We usually start looking for the house (or book the one that we really liked before) around January and then send in the deposit. We have food committees (usually the gals who work in the food industry) who will figure out what we have and what we need to bring and will assign each person something (like a thing of soap, coffee, paper towels, paper plates, etc.) Everyone brings their own beer or wine. We do SC because that is where the majority of people live nearest.
We will be going out tomorrow to get new flooring for the full bath. The caulking started to come away from the tub, and water got under the floor.
Robyn, your slideshow is fantastic. I can't believe how good her ultrasound pics were! And, where do you find the time? Sorry about your monster-in-law.
Good Morning, DDA!
loved them!
for you and
for the girls and Eric.
That is just nasty all around. Sounds to me like your MIL is just a manipulative b!tch!! eek: did I really just say that?!?!)
Good morning, DDA! And happy September!
My September is not off to a great start! 2 more pieces chipped off of my crown this morning and now it is SHARP! I tried to stick some of DS's orthodontic wax on it but it didn't work.
Very precious, Robyn!
I'm sorry Robyn.
Oh oh Fairfax! That is right near us!
Just remember Stephanie, you are going to have to divide your time between all of your grandchildren. You can't be everywhere at once and will have to miss some things. They will learn to understand.
Marci & Robyn - I remembered that I can't do Monday the 9th for dinner. Religious Ed. starts that night at 6:30 and I volunteered to be an assistant this year.
Morning DDA!
Happy Saturday DDA!
I don't think I've posted since Tuesday, the day Alyssa woke up from her nap with a fever and my SIL called and said she had strep throat...
Kevin stayed home Wednesday morning, just in case I had to take Alyssa to the doctor, but she woke up with no fever. He went to work, and by lunchtime, her temp was creeping up again. So I called the nurse and she said to come in Thursday if she still had it. Alyssa still had the fever Thursday morning, so we went to the doctor and they did a strep swab too. The doctor said they were seeing a lot of kids this week with fevers and no other symptoms. Nice $20 co-pay diagnosis! We won't know the results of the swab until today, but she didn't have a fever all day Friday or this morning.
However, Matthew woke up with a 102 temp after his nap yesterday. Grrrrrrr!!!! He was totally happy all night though, so I guess it's the same thing. He still has a fever this morning, but he's one happy boy.
I wish we actually knew what was causing their fevers and it would have been really nice if this had run concurrently, but I guess I need to be grateful they're happy!
I want to go to WDW next month.
Unfortunately that isn't going to happen. I need to get off my butt and go to Target.
Debbie, sending lots of prayers to that family! Just last week, a local high school principal did the same thing...left her sleeping 2-year-old in her car while she went to a 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. school meeting. Her car windows were tinted, so no one noticed the little girl until that afternoon. I can't imagine how that poor child suffered on that 100 degree day. It hasn't been decided if the mother will be prosecuted, but there have been tons of editorials, on both sides of the issue. Awful.
Speaking of awful, Robyn, UGH! Your MIL is a piece of work. Lucy's slideshows are BEAUTIFUL! Thank goodness you have a wonderful husband and adorable children to counteract that witch!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Morning everyone--i didnt get to bed til late, so i just woke up--t felt great !!!
My mom, dad, brother, and I are headed down to the shore to vist my grandparents and were probably going to stay overnight..im not looking forward to it--its going to be packed and crazy down there--so im planning on bringing my computer, some books and some movies and relaxing there
so im sure ill be on all day haha
Can I borrow some of those food committee girls! My 2 girlfriends and I are planning a New Year's weekend with our DH's and kids. There are 8 kids so 14 total. We are trying to agree on a dinner menu and can't My one girlfriend's DH is very picky, he doesn't even like spaghetti. I have a feeling this will be our first and last vacation together!!
In my best impression of a dental professional I filed the sharpest edge off of the crown with a nail file. Now I am off to Target.
Thanks, but no. I got rid of Nascar when I got rid of my husband.
I agree with this as well Stephanie. Sometimes things come up and though it's tough, kids will understand. My mother had to miss one of my most important track meets (U.P. State Finals) when I was in High School. She put a note in my letter jacket (without me knowing it) which I found the day of the meet. I missed her at the meet but the note really made me feel her presence and know that she wanted to be there. I knew she was thinking of me which was the most important thing to me.
Chuck & I weren't sure we were going to be able to go to Disney in March due to all the recent car, camera, etc. issues that we've been dealing with. Yesterday, I found out that some of the extra hours I'm putting in qualifies for overtime. Normally my level is exempt from overtime but they put in a special exception. It is possible that there will now be money for Disney in March. Woohoo!!!
I am 25 miles North of Allentown. I have family in Easton.
It looks like I missed everyone last night and this morning. I have lots of stuff to get done today. I got home safe & sound on Friday. It was a good week in Lansing. My friends had a baby girl on Monday and I got to see her on Tuesday. These are the friends that lost their son unexpectedly last year (he died in his mothers arms after they took him to the doctor in the morning). The new baby girl is being tested and if she has the same problem it is easily corrected. I'm so happy for them. They are a great young couple.
