May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 11

[Jhalkias]

John,
Thanks for your update. I haven't been able to catch up but was wondering how he was doing. Hope you are getting some rest yourself...ICU can be draining for all involved.

Lisa,

I told Amy I have never been so tired when not doing much. The stress really does wear on you. I also end up being the "point man" when Manuel's students and colleagues have questions, or just want to talk. It's really hard to go to sleep at night too with the phone there dreading a late-night phone call. I'm not complaining though - I feel much better being there as much as I can, and I would rather be doing this than any alternative. My routine is now a visit in the morning before work at 7:00, a visit over lunch and the evening after work. Not doing much for my exercise program.

Amy's boss actually sent her away from work today and to the hospital (it was her first full day back). I thought that was really nice, and put my mind at ease. Of course, I was at work all day.

I had a meeting all afternoon in Cleveland, drove back home and spent a few hours at the hospital. It was actually peaceful tonight though, as I sat and read my book in his room, and made small talk with the nurse about her family.

Going to try and go to bed. Good night everyone.

THanks for the info John...I'm going to make my way over there.

Gaylean..I was just thinking that last summer when I was on the med cruise I met so many people who were bummed that they couldn't book the repos...and I was all..yea I'm on that! sucker! no, jk....
There are 2 people on this cruise that were on the med with me. Yes, I have other friends...

OK I'm down. Can you book at 3:00 am after a few drinks? No I would love to book with everyone again but you need to give me some time to recover!

 

[gaylean93]

That would be one WILD and CRAZY pregnancy!

Oh my. You made Jon laugh. That is not an easy task. How many incomes and bathrooms would you need then?!?!?

Thanks Monica,
These are great. Cameron loves Stitch, no so big on Cars. Heather (DW) said she would print them out.

Good night. Try to sleep well...maybe if you have to even take a benadryl. It is really hard to sleep when you have everything going on, and sometimes it can help.

Income and bathrooms would be the LEAST of my concerns with those two....

I was an easy child.

I have a feeling I'd be hiding birth control pills in their morning muffins once they turn 16 for starters...

 

[calmom]

And then I'd have a locksmith come in to put a triple lock on the vodka cabinet...

This is what I'm wearing on semi-formal night. I just bought it.

This is how we spent some of our weekend. Getting our tropical night and Bubba's pirate night costumes ready.

I think I'm ready to go

Looks fantastic!

But boy, wouldn't I be able to live my teenager years all over again with a Cindy & Gaylean...

 

[Tigger1221]

Well our internet died at the house. Now I can only get on when DH is home with his laptop. But on the bright side I cleaned house and am starting to get things ready for this trip and graduation.

Hey I was 25 when I had Ethan and I'd been married for 4 years but probably a good idea!

Now that you should do for sure.

 

[Tink rules]

OK, this is bizarre.

I'm having breakfast, listing to WBEZ National Public Radio on Mrs. Bennett, and there was just a local Chicago news item that a cougar was shot and killed in an alley about a mile away from my house (Roscoe Village neighborhood for those who know Chicago)!

They said that cougar sightings in Illinois are extremely rare let alone in Chicago itself.

They are checking the body for markings are tags to get more information on the cougar.

I was just thinking about how I let the dogs (Truman and Tallulah) out in the front yard. Truman is a whopping 8lbs and Tallulah is 6lbs.)

I can just see Truman trying to take on a cougar!

Ohhhhh Ian... Make Mrs. Bennett walk them... I'm sure she'd scream at the cougar!!! and Mrs F. would run it over...

BE SURE AND READ THE SMALL PRINT The tickets are only good until April 24. These will NOT work for those of us going in May.

Thanks Angie...

When I called for my room ressie they also had one that went for our time, so I will call again and see!

I was an easy child.

I'm sure you were...I'm just teasing you!

 

[LisaG520]

This was an interesting weekend to be sure. We ran the teams ragged - and the heat just made it worse! We are still recovering (we get almost no sleep in the days before the game, trying to finish all the preparations)

Even with the heat we had a blast!!

And are hoping to move to FL this summer so the news of an MA at WDW for fall 09 made our day perfect!! (Even if we thought Mickey pretzels came with apple filling...)

You might be a grandma with your oldest one but they don't care about age as long as you can party!

I wish that would happen to me.
