V- It gets worse before it gets better. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

This does not sound good

Dawn there is a much easier way than e-mails, click on User CP (top left) and it shows you all your subbed threads and it's real quick and easy to keep checking if someone new has posted
And worse before it gets better

I do that when my e-mails aren't working.
And, yes, worse...

I finally caught up! I can't believe we were there the same time, and I'm just now reading your PTR/TR!

How cool is that?! I'll have to go check out your stuff too!

This does not sound good

This isn't good, girl.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Hopefully you won't have th problems I did.
Tell Daran you can have a big breakfast that day. And, don't worry, you won't actually EAT until 5:20ish, IYKWIM.

TE- I just visited your PTR and saw you were going to H&V, not Mama Melrose. Carry on, and forget what I said about eating at 5:20. I do stand by the keep the package, though.

Yeah--we won't go back to MM cause they seated us 1 1/2 hour after our scheduled ADR---made me miss Fantasmic.

A fern, huh??? Is it a PRETTY fern???

Gotta love a mom who shamelessly scars her kiddos! WTG! That's one of the perks of parenthood, IMO! Dh regularly throws dd under the bus when we are in public, which just makes me grin! At some point, she is gonna turn around, tell him he's Number #1 in her world , and walk away! (for good!) *sniff sniff* Darn this growing up thing!

Thanks for the chuckles!

hs,we just got back too.... we went from Jan 5-19...some nice hot days,some a bit too cold,but NOT as cold as home! I hope your trip went well, ours was...well...a family trip! We had magic moments,and...family(ahem) moments! That's just life,and I hope yours balanced out nicely too- I wouldn't trade the memories for anything! (even those crazy bad bus lines for POP)
p.s.,can we leave dh at home next time?

Since you don't have any pictures, I thought I'd just toss one in for you.

Buzz, what a great role model, you know with the whole sharing thing

I'm a hottie.

HSM, Just getting caught up here. I do hope things get better. But then I saw your post about getting worse before better

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I have been so sick. I had wanted to do a bonus update this weekend, but that didn't happen. Now, tomorrow's "scheduled" update isn't looking so good either. We'll see. I'm off to sleep.
Stay warm and well!

 

[carrieannie]

Good night Dawn! Hope your feeling better,

 

[KatGarcia]

Feel Better!

Don't worry about us. Take care of yourself. We'll just spam this thread since it's not under surveillance like mine.

Probably!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Hello, all! I'm feeling slighty human-ish now. Thanks for the well wishes, welcome to anyone new, I was totally lost with the fern thing, and let's get on with the update, shall we? I just typed out three, so at least this week is covered and you should all be happy!
Enjoy!

In the morning, I was up and out of the shower before the wake-up call came. A was supposed to answer, but he didn’t want to, so I held the phone to his ear. He grinned when he hear Stitch yell at him to wake up! (BTW- Later in the week, we figured out it would be more fun to hit the speaker button and let everyone hear the message.)

Since everyone seemed interested in our sleeping arrangements, K and I slept with a little kid each (DD6 for me and DS5 for him) and DD10 got the trundle. Full size beds for Full-sized people, not so good. I didn’t sleep well at all because I was so worried C would roll off the bed, or I might crowd her. With that trundle under the bed, the beds at POR are quite tall!

I had packed some Special K bars, Go Tarts, etc. and that’s what we had for breakfast Wednesday. At home I normally drink coffee every morning, but I had heard it was nasty at WDW. So I brought some of my own. I was too busy every morning to make it though. So, I guess I broke my morning addiction on our trip.

I know I wrote things got worse before they got better, but I guess it would be more accurate to post, they weren’t very good in the morning, until after opening, then they got great, then okay and by night were awful. That’s more accurate, I think.

See? I did learn something from all my DISing!

First at the turnstile!!!
Do you see my eyes watering because I’m so cold? Something happened overnight and it was so cold that morning. The forecast said 50, so I thought gloves (for the kids) and jackets were in order with long sleeves and pants for everyone. I should note that we only had one cold weather set of clothes, because that’s what the weather said when we left.

At 8:45, they opened the gates and took us back to the rope drop area. We were right up front on the rope pointed towards Soarin’. The CMs were talking to us, and joking around. A was pouting about something (a good mommy always forgets why, at least that’s my story!), so the CM was trying to out pout him. He was really funny.
Here's a few opening ceremony character pics:

Another CM asked C if she wanted to help him do something, but she was too shy. I could have cried! Some other random kid got to help open the park because my C was just too shy. Poor girl. Poor Mom.
