12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 10

[becka]

You know I have been thinking that we should stage a hammock battle. Can you imagine what some people would think?

They will probably just think something like this:

There goes those crazy lime green people again. Really what is wrong with these people? Did you see them sprint to the beach wearing numbers on their backs? Oh, and can you believe their behavior at dinner last night? Shouting across the dining room something about Taking Back or Never Giving Bananas. Not only that but I think some of them were wearing bedazzled jeans on formal night. How geeky! What are they some kind of cult?

 

[MMcCarthy]

Help!! I need a disfix but can't do it. the person who is under me is out sick with bronchitis and her sister is dieing. I don't expect her back until late next week. Unfortunately that means I have to do all of her work and my work. the day started at 8:30 am and will end after 8:00pm with another meeting. I have to get the check run done and it is not even ready to go. I just needed to whine a little. I hope you guys are having a better day than I am.

I just spoke to a very nice CM about the situation with my niece. He wans't sure how it worked if they were already overseas (if they were here and had a ressie, then got orders, they waive the cancelation fee). In my niece's case, nothing can be done so he said it was best to wait to make the ressie.

 

[pyramid2000]

Missy, that sounds like a horrible situation all around!

 

[klineyqueen]

What is? Carnival or this thread?

BOTH!!!!!

I took DME last October, but did not receive my tags, due to delivery method. It took over 7 hours to get my bags, lol. This time I will have tags, so maybe just 5 hours to get my bags.

Note to self: pack in day bag clothes for MVMCP.

Pj

so glad you mentioned this PJ, I need to make the same note. Our plane is scheduled to land at 3pm and we have tix for MVMCP that night, that's not much room for error.

 

[klineyqueen]

Look! we have another sweet one!

PJ may be sweet...but I am both Sweet and Innocent!

Here Here!!!! Now that is the spirit! If you want it....get up and get it!!!

We went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC 2 years ago. Jason and I got up at 3 am and left our hotel room. We walked 1 block to times square. We got curb side spots. We waited HOURS for the parade to start. We had several people try to push in front of us. I don't think so!!! It was funny there was a wave of people from about 3 - 3:45. We all got curb side. Then at about 6 am everyone else started to pour in. There was NO WAY they were going to push me out of the way!!!

Ooooo. I'm still bitter about the people who pushed in front of DD and me at the Magic Kingdom parade 3 years ago. I felt like screaming at them "HEY! This is Hannah's first trip ever and first parade and we have been waiting a long time! And now this six-months pregnant woman is forced to lift a 5-year-old up so she can see the princesses." But all I did was give them the evil eye. I should have had some DIS geek friends then.

Yes, that was a pretty good week to watch. I think that Jerry tried as much as he could...unlike that Diddly person last year. OY BOY!

I must agree! I think it was half killing Jerry...but at least he tried. P was so annoying. I wanted to go into the TV and kick his slow moving uncordinated butt!

I don't know if trip insurane would cover it??? I did put in for a quote with DU. My niece keeps saying she couldn't afford it, but if I hear that her DH will be back in time and would have to time off to go, I will find a way to make it happen.

maybe take up an offering? I would be happy to contribute to a soldier and his family getting to cruise.

 

[klineyqueen]

OK, after a couple days of talking to all four kids we think that we have pieced it together. Her DS said let's wrestle and they started to roughhouse. Totally normal for 5th grade boys. My kids do not know how to "play fight" and when he pushed DS too hard & he fell down DD kicked him in the leg. Somehow my kids started fighting each other & he tried to break them up by wrapping his arms around their shoulders...which ended up being their necks. DS twisted around alot which caused his neck to get red marks on it and then he ran into the school to get us. DD kicked him again because now he was trying to hold her still and didn't like it. That really hurt & made him mad, which is when I ran outside & saw him pinning her down on the ground.

I have talked to both kids about the fact that they could have gotten suspended & still might. I also went over what else they could have done at each step.

Oy Vay! Never a dull moment! Never!

 

[klineyqueen]

I have given up. Between the meds & the stress I just can't worry about losing the 10 pounds that has shown up. I will be buying Spanx as well.

Ah Spanx...dear wonderful spanx....how I could not survive without you!

Are you making me go back on there??

 

[klineyqueen]

Lisa - Here is one for the school yard cat fight...

I think your DD is winning!

I realize that it was a very stressful thing to have happpen to you and your kids...I am sure everything will work out. I am just trying to make lite of the situation.

I actually recognize all of those teams. I am surprised about Pottsville. That is about 10 min. away. I don't recall ever even seeing them listed in the paper as having a team. I guess that sport just isn't "important" in this one track minded (football) area.

 

[klineyqueen]

I have to get the girl's costumes together. We only have about a half an hour from when they get home to get ready before leaving for the GS party. Actually less than that since we have to stop and pick up the pizza. Oh, and I found a black and white striped sweater for Amanda yesterday at Fashion Bug. She can wear it later too.

 

[pyramid2000]

Cute!
