Hi Girls! I was out of town for the weekend. We had the kids Master's grad - 90 min away on Sat. I went on Friday afternoon and had lunch with my favorite aunt - she's so much fun - and then I met Mark and Lindz at the hotel and we went shopping at Old Navy and then got Chinese food. Remember where we live is pretty dry. So while we were eating dinner, we heard people in the front of the restaurant start screaming - we looked up and there was a huge wall of water falling from the sky! The wind was blowing shopping carts around and cars were floating already!
When we finished dinner, we ran out to the car in ankle deep water, and on one corner, with cars in front of us floating like boats, Lindz opened her door, and the water was up to the floorboards! We got back to the hotel, but the water pushed part of the wheel well liner down, so it dragged against the front tire the next day.
Jim's plane was delayed by an hour because the power was out at the airport - the power was out for quite awhile twice at the hotel. He finally made it in - I had leftovers chinese for him.
Graduation was nice. We sat on the grass with a blanket and let the babies play. It was warm and sunny. We met Ryan and Dana and Jim's parents at Red Lobster for lunch - Dana got a new puppy. (I should post pics, this is sounding like a TR
) We went outside in the grass to let the babies play with the new puppy. A Papillion named Ladybug.
The kids went home, and Jim and I took a nap - Yah, we're old
and then went out for dinner and a movie. It was hard to put him on the plane this morning, but he'll be back in 2 wks.
So I just got back from picking DD9 up from school. Got the call from the nurse saying she was sick. She's had a cough and a slight fever all week, but nothing we were too worried about. However the nurse tells me that if her fever gets over 100.4 per the state law she has to stay out of school for 7 days. ???? I've never heard this before.
Well it turns out when they were on a field trip today it was very humid and muggy. They walked up and down flights of stairs, didn't get lunch until late and then only got one bottle of water. So probably between the humidity and dehydration she got sick. When I\ picked her up there was ten kids from her class at the nurse with the same symptoms.
Thankfully we have nothing going on this weekend so we're going to let her sit on the couch.
Well I've started my fun planning for our trip. I found a really cool Mickey Patriot football iron-on design on the creative Dis thread. I'm going to make a shirt for DH for father's day this weekend.
Kara - did I hear you say it was 95 degrees today? How's the humidity?
Tina, I hope everyone is better at your house!
Tina - it is actually 95 right now!!!! The humidity is only at 35% but it's just so hot! The sun is brutal! the real feel temp on Tuesday was 107. It's hot. No doubt about it.
Debbie said they are having a totally different kind of vacay too - she said it's hot there, too (naturally since they are SOUTH of us!). Laying by the pool today and she said to say hello to everyone and that she misses us all! Yeah, right! No offense, but when I'm in Disney, I do NOT miss you guys!
Well, you know what I mean.
I'm so proud of Debbie for taking it easy! She looks pretty happy in her texts! I almost can't imagine her just going with the flow!
Kara - I'm about two hours from Chattanooga, I think - maybe three, or somewhere in between. I'm not really sure.
I'll ask Carlos - he drove through there alot going back and forth to Atlanta.
Yay for Ally & golf! That is great and the swimming is awesome too! I'm so glad that the Ally's got you guys an adult night last night.
Tammie - what did you have done? Was it a crown or a root canal? I think I missed that - but I so hope you are feeling much better and the pain is less.
Cammie - thinking of you and hoping all is okay with you!
Jillian - okay medical question here. Call me dumb but I didn't realize hydrocodone is vicodin. If my dog was on that - liquid form - for a year for coughing at night (she had mitrovalve regurgitation with an enlarged heart)... I guess what I'm trying to get at is it was given for her night "coughing" but was she in more pain than I realized? I just thought it was cough syrup -
Laura - I hope that you are doing well. You've been on my mind a lot.
About Debbie - I got a couple of texts where we chatted about the heat. Sounds like she is vacaying super smart - laid back and doing the pool. Trust me from experience, when it is 97 degrees there at WDW you sorta have to - it is just so hot! I was glad to hear she let the control freak side go and has been just playing it by ear. I hope the vacay is great for her.
We have a pool party at 1. Nicolas' bf. I don't think it will happen. We have a huge thunderstorm blob headed this way on radar. He's going to be crushed. What can you do?
What do you guys think about starting a new sport when he starts Kindergarden? Too much - okay? He wants to give baseball a shot and they have a fall season here. The coach is his BF's dad who is AMAZING with the kids. sVery Patient.
Lorrie, I had a couple of deep cavities and a temp crowns, with the perm. ones on order. This dentist leaves us in so much pain. He stretched the gums out and put string around to make more room to work, and then they pulled the string out. It still feels like there is something in there, and I am still in pain 3 days later!
Glad to hear everyone is having a good weekend. DH9 isn't doing so well - she's going to stay home tomorrow with DH I'm think she ight have a respertory infection which isn't good. Running around a little and she's coughing up a storm. Yesterday we spent the day in our PJs and on the couch. We watched the DL cake celebration on the Food Network - loved it.
Trying to figure out what type of celebration we should be having - maybe going into 5th and 2nd grade or our 14th anniversary or our unbirthday?? HMMM.
Just celebrate bring at Disney!
Lorrie- I think it is a smooth muscle relaxant and so it would help the muscle from spasms that made her "cough"??? I am not sure I will have to look it up. I don't think vicodin does a great job on pain,but that's just me.
Tina thanks for the great advice. I am going to have to take out more cash than I thought. I will also have the
travel agent plot out Cracker Barrels for me.
All is super here back to work tomorrow I am going to try and give Cammie a ring and see if I can help in anyway.
Hope you all have a great Monday and if I don't get to stop by the rest of the week.
Thanks Jillian, for your support on Thursday! We miss you around here - I know your're busy.
Okay, I'm sorry but if you really eat at Cracker Barrell what do you eat? We have had the worst food ever everytime we've been there. Tastes like warm paste. We are wondering why it is so popular?
Anyway the girls and I had a good weekend together. Weather was miserable but we did alot of laughing over the silliest things. Makes me happy to see Lauren laughing so much.
I've gotten a ton of texts from Debbie. She seems to be having a blast. So jealous!
- it does make me worry for the future with 2 girls. I reckon the Victorians had the best idea - knee and elbow length swimwear with buttons up to the neck!!!
- I lost 4 pounds!!! Which takes me past that UK milestone of 1 stone (14 pounds) . I don't know if you use stones as a weight over there?? I am working on it sooooo hard right now since I only have 2 more pounds and I go below the magic 200 pounds (again!!!!) Mind you, in the summer with salads and stir fry and grilled meat and fish, and strawberries and cherries (mmmmmmm cherries) it is not toooo hard....
You are doing great! And, no, the only stones we have here are.... well, I was trying to think of something witty to say, but nothing is coming to me. So..... no, we just do pounds (and not the money either!).
