08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 2

[BethC1952]

Good morning!

I'm so glad to be in the office today--I can actually sit down and relax for a few minutes!

I forgot about my favorite movies:

Favorite Disney Movie: Sleeping Beauty--I love the music, I love the design style of the movie, and I think Maleficent is an awesome (and awful) character!

Favorite other movies:

Any Rogers and Hammerstein (I actually met Richard Rogers and Maria Von Trapp when I was in high school!)
Any Star Trek movie
Any Harry Potter movie
Gone With The Wind
Dr. Zhivago

That number of Mondays is awesome! And since I have at least two (and possibly three) of those Mondays off, I'm running out of time!

I've got my formal and semi-formal outfits, I won't need an appointment for my hair (it's really long and I wear it up most of the time), but I did make an appointment for a manicure for formal night as a special treat for me since I know DH will be napping at that time since he lives for his naps! So I guess I'm good to go!

I canceled my golf plans today, or littlest guy, Ryan, was up most of the night, and has had a rough weekend. Thank goodness he's sleeping late today, I can get online and pay some bills... The only good news on this monday is that it takes until single digit mondays left until we meet.

Awww Poor Little Guy... I hope he is ok

Awww Poor Little Guy... I hope he is ok

Thanks... he seems to be better today, but not 100% yet. He is a "Stage 5 Clinger" when he gets sick, and I was finally able to lay him down on the couch with some Noggin on the TV and he fell asleep.

I just posted a VENT on the regular boards..

I am so mad, upset, worried and I don't know what to do...

Remember the boy I was telling you about? DS's friend who's step dad attacked him Thursday...

Well............... he is back HOME

The reason.. Dyfus said his Grandparents have no rights to him or to keep him!! Hellooooo... MoM brought him to them... They didn't come in and take him.. Mom brought him to their house...

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So am I getting this right? STEP-DAD who attacked him is saying the Grandparents have no rights? And STEP dad has what kind of rights??

 

[coastgirl]

I'm really sorry to hear that, how upsetting, and of course you aren't in a position to do anything. Sending up a prayer that he'll be ok, that somehow someone will be able to keep him safe and loved...

So folks I am totally NOT crafty, and am wondering about the fish extender thing...given the "Secret Santa" thing (wanna play! wanna play!), would a Christmas stocking work? I'm working on a door sign (though only in my head so far ), but I know a fish extender is beyond me...

No DYFS said that the Grandparents had no right to keep him

1. Mom brought him there *to grandparents* Thursday night

2. DYFS social worker was there to get a Restraining order against the Parents and join Grandparents and the boy at the Hospital




Now... DYFS sent him Back home !!!

YES!! a Stocking will work just fine

I heard from the sailboat charter we have and another couple has inquired about going on the same morning as well. The difference between a private charter and just having to pay for the three of us is $150.

I told the operator to let them know we have a kiddo and if they did not mind, we were all for it. That would put us at five people and I seriously doubt they would get a single to come alone.

The only things you need to know are sit back, relax, there's only 9 more mondays till we cruise and......WATCH OUT FOR PIRATES!!!!!

 

[coastgirl]

Welcome Mommyoftwinfants!

I have a dd, 4. She has a big brother so plays well with boys. (Though I've heard her lately insisting ds allow his Bionicle to go on a date with one of hers! ) Also see you went for the first time to WDW about the same time we did, May 06. (We were there I think about the 20th to June 3, I think we had our first night at Pop--maybe saw you at the kiddie pool! )

There's some good summary info here: http://www.decembermagic.blog.co.uk/ though I'm a newbie myself, having only booked on this cruise last week.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! What are your ages? We just need to get to know you here!

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

My guys will be five, 29 for me and we will just say 50+ for my mom.
Anyone doing any Excursions, was thinking about doing the Coral World, but don't know much of how to get there. I am anxiously awaiting my passporter.

Coastgirl we just booked when I read your post, couldn't pass up $599 per person with $125 on board credit per room, would have been 150 but my TA couldn't get the online booking to go through, she said it hardly ever works. We would have just missed you in '06 we checked out on Sat. morning and stayed for a few days near Sea World.

 

[coastgirl]

Ahh! Thanks for letting me know, that feels great to know I was helpful to someone else! Now we've bonded--bargain hunters unite! Oh, and I think you even one-upped me, I don't recall getting an onboard credit! WTG!
