Hi Everyone!
I only have a few more hours before I need to leave for the weekend and I just wanted to send good wishes to DisKim and Gretchen!
Have a wonderful trip! Take lots of pictures so we all can see when you get back! Ill say some prayers that you all have a smooth uneventful flight.
Justhat Ill say some prayers that Henrys bili levels go down.
All three of my kids had problems with jaundice due to a blood incompatibility with me. Johns was the worst and required the lights in the hospital. Like Henry, he had to go back for the heel prick at the hospital for many days after his release. I hope that today was the last heel prick for him and that his levels go down.
DisneyPhD Congratulations to your friend on the birth of her baby!
Have fun at the zoo today!
Robin That is wonderful that you got to speak with your mother!
Im so glad that your parents are having a great trip too. Good luck with scrapbooking this weekend!
Ginamarie Im sorry to hear that your friend missed the boat.
Is there any way for him to catch it at another port of call?
Ryan840 Im so sorry to hear about what happened to your car.
You wont get any flames from me either about saving money. My dh and I could barely scrape two dimes together for the first few years of our marriage. We lived paycheck to paycheck and didnt really do much saving at all. If we ever managed to save anything, something would break and we would be back to square one. Hang in there and I hope that everything is uneventful for you!
Hillbeans I am just like you with the blood type! Im O+ and all three kids are A+. I was told that was the reason why they had jaundiced. Although, in Johns case he was a 36 week birth so that contributed as well. You and I also wear the same size clothes. I have a smaller build on top, but carry all of my weight around my middle. I seriously look like I am pregnant especially after the surgery.
Like I said before, I think you look great and that woman seriously needed some glasses or something! Have a wonderful weekend!
J&D Good luck with finding the cheerleading costume!
I have a purple and gold one that is from my college alma matar. If I can find it and you want it, Ill send it to you.
Lissawynn Im so sorry to hear about the death of one of your students. How terrible for her parents.
I hope that your are feeling better today.
Val Have fun at your family reunion!
Yes, you do need to dress them alike now before they can protest.
Disney attire would be perfect and so cute! I hope that all the kids let you rest some this weekend.
Gretchen Good luck getting all of your last minute stuff done before the trip!
I'll work on my questions!
DisKim Good luck to you too getting all the last minute things done! I hope that Pluto is nice to you down in WDW!
Sorry to hear about the haircut too.
GLT Do you think your dd had that reaction b/c she still isnt feeling 100% yet? Does she know any other kids going to school? Will she ride a school bus? I went to at least 4 or 5 different elementary schools growing up and I remember being a little anxious about it too. Change is really hard for young children. Hugs to you and your dd!
Do they have an open house where she can meet the teacher? Maybe that will help ease her fears. If it makes you feel any better, Kindergarten teachers see kids all the time who are anxious about starting school. They are prepared for it and usually do a great job making the kids feel welcome and comfortable.
There is a good book called Ms. Bindergarten goes to Kindergarten. It is a cute book that the girls K teacher reads every year on the first day. I think it addresses kids fears about school and helps make them feel more comfortable.
Tasha That is great that your car is fixed! Good luck with school on Tuesday! Ill be thinking of you!
BNBmom That is great that you and dh are already planning your next WDW trip!
A cabin a Fort Wilderness sounds great. Good luck with your upcoming trip with your MIL. I hope that she is good for you.
About the formula, Isomil makes the sticks so we will just get a bunch of those to bring on the plane. I saw in the paper today about people not being able to bring baby food on board so that it our next dilemma b/c John is not happy unless he has food!
SL Im sorry to hear that Lucas slide is cracked. I hope that TRU will give you another one or a decent credit for it.
It is so frustrating when you open a brand new box of something only to find it broken.
Floridafam Here is the link to SOG with the eligibility requirements. I only get to stay there b/c my dad is retired Navy and he sponsors a room for us when we all go down there together. It is a very beautiful resort!

Hi to all the moms!
The girls had their last art class today and when I went to pick them up I could hear one of the little girls screaming at the top of her lungs from outside the building in the parking lot.
I kid you not, that girl was having one major meltdown and she was screaming like it was nobody's business. Apparently it was all over a magic marker. When I got in the building the poor instructor looked a bit worn. She said she was hoping I was the girls mom coming to pick her up. I think the owner of the art company should pay this woman time and a half for all of her effort.
When the other two moms showed up the kids showed off their artwork and the girl continued to throw fits over anything that didnt go her way. The mom didnt do a thing about it which surprised me a little, but oh well.
I don't want to complain b/c my kids are far from perfect, but that little girl was a piece of work. Yikes! I've worked with kids her age through 8 yo's for 10 years and I've never seen a kid like that. At least she had a good set of lungs!
Well, I better go. I still have a little bit of packing to do and I want to have things all set for Dave and the kids while Im gone. Everyone have a great weekend and safe trips! Ill check back in on Monday!
