Yes, it's a curse......but what are you gonna do?

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Well, what if DIS geeks all went together on an 11 Hawaiian. We would have our on CJS but would need to figure out how to get Mickey on board.

Im in ....lol

Brandi that's all i got at lunch yesterday......

Sorry to hear that Kristina! I thought there may have been a little more

 

[DisneyVegas1]

I could not eat for the next 2 years and still not look like Todd's wife! Todd, she really is beautiful!

Thank You ! And she thanks you as well

 

[klineyqueen]

hmmm...not working...

like this one??? seemed good for date nights

That is perfect for date night!

 

[ds2Mom]

....I really don’t want to over pack but I don’t want to be out in the ocean and not have the stuff I really need....

Don't even ask my DH about this particular subject.

 

[klineyqueen]

Has anyone else checked out her picture on the site?

Yes! What a hoot!

 

[becka]

No time right now to respond to all of your posts but rest assured I will respond later!

It sounds like everyone is thrilled that it is finally Friday (although I think Brandi is the most excited ). I think far too many of us had a rough week and need this weekend.

 

[ds2Mom]

I keep telling myself to just leave most of it at home but when you need infant Tylenol or Deslym for a cough you really need them.

I'm pretty sure between all the Moms, we could open our own DIS pharmacy. Call one of us if you need it/don't have it.

 

[Jhalkias]

Kindred - yes...but I look nothing like you...and from your picture...you look just as fabulous as Todd's wife...what are you complaining about?!!!

OK, I bit.

You guys got me on this one - had to go to the website to peek.

Nice job Lisa.

So Charlotte, how long have you been living incognito in Maryland?

THe whole lobster thing, doesn't make sense to me. It is always drenched with something, even it is just butter. Has anyone eaten it with nothing on it? What makes it so special? I eat fish, but shell fish is more about what goes on it or what it is dipped into. I love shrimp cocktail, I think because of the sauce, lol.

I might skip the lobster too, what else is on the menu that night?

Well, John1......with airplane travel these days, I can pretty much live anywhere I want and still get to those fancy schmancy Hollywood events when I need to.

I WISH that DS needed to work on his penmanship. I swear that child is such the perfectionist. Last night he came in here around 9 pm and said he was so tired but wasn't done writing his story out yet (using spelling words.) He had been working on it for a while & was almost done 15 minutes before so I asked him why not. He realized that he was writing on the wrong side of the notebook paper and erased it!!! Shoot me now! UGH! Even before he was a year old he would line things up across the floor....cars, blocks, even crayons when we took the cars away from him. If DD ever messed up his lines he would go ballistic. Now I see how he channels that today and it drives me nuts!

oh no....my DS is the EXACT same way!!!! I am also a perfectionist when it comes to certain things. I have had the same fears for my son. Perfectionist really are hard on themselves. Being that kind of person has certain advantages...but the disadvantages are also unavoidable. My whole life growing up I drove my DMom crazy....perfect hair, perfect grades, perfect playing (instruments) you name it! Now it looks like I will have the same challenges with my DS.

what is the PIMP for after the ROTFLMAO?

peeing in my pants.

Dancing with the Stars fans... more news is out on Sara Evans dropping out of the competition. Divorce papers are filed, and the allegations against the husband are definitely not family-friendly.

 

[pyramid2000]

Less than 60 days!! This is starting to really go fast! Almost 50 DIS families that have checked in with Lisa...plus extras coming with some DIS families... I need to go to Michaels!

I would SO go on a Hawaiian cruise!

 

[klineyqueen]

And the countdown is at 56 days until the cruise!!!

We actually will leave that Thursday night before so only 54 days until we are officially on vacation. I think I may try to take a ½ day off on Thursday to go home and try to take a nap. If we have the car loaded Wednesday night and ready to go then I can take a nap and pick up the kids and DH right at 4:30 as he gets off work and hit the road. I was actually thinking that maybe we could just eat dinner in the car rather than making a stop so we could make better time. Last year DD was too young to eat in the car but I think she could probably manage a decent meal now.

I have started my packing lists and it is a little scary! I have so much stuff to bring and it just seems excessive. I really don’t want to over pack but I don’t want to be out in the ocean and not have the stuff I really need. My toiletry bag is just not going to fit everything I need. I end up brining my own personal pharmacy for every trip. I keep telling myself to just leave most of it at home but when you need infant Tylenol or Deslym for a cough you really need them. I hate to think of what they would charge on the ship!

I am trying to pack where I will do laundry once on the ship and where I can reuse some clothes especially for dinners but it still adds up. I feel like I need three outfits for each day. A casual outfit for the day, swim/beach/pool outfit and then dressier clothes for dinner and that is for each of us. Not to mention pirate costumes, goodies for the group, diapers/wipes, sippy cups, beach toys, adult and baby shampoos and soaps, necessary stuffed animals required for sleep, which take up a lot of room etc… AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Someone HELP ME!!!!

I may run out to Target over my lunch break and pick up a few cruise items. I really need to get this stuff sorted out and start organizing everything. I think we can really put up the summer clothes now so I need to pick what to keep out for the cruise and get the rest of it put away. I also need to take inventory of the kid’s nicer clothes to make sure they have enough that will fit that they can wear to dinner.


I am looking forward to chat tonight but I may or may not be able to join you. I had the computer last Friday night so I am thinking DH wants a turn. Maybe I will have to see how late the library is open so I can chat from there!

Don't worry Becka...you and I both will have our own pharmacy!!! I take EVERYTHING imaginable!!! We travel alot and I have needed the stuff so many times...many of the drugs you can't get on the boat. They have a limited selection. I am sure you couldn't get Delsym or some other specific thing you might use. So you are not alone with the pharmacy!

 

[ds2Mom]

While at Sears picking up Eliza's pics my DMom took DS to the bathroom. He actually went not an "I'm bored let's go to the bathroom." About 20 min. later he peed in his pants!!! I was shocked! I went with him to the bathroom and sent my DMom to the boys dept to buy underwear and pants. When she got back I realized that he had soaked socks and shoes! As you know...it is freezing cold here today. I got him changed and carried him barefoot out to the van. I was so ....I have no idea what caused this accident!

It happens, Brandi.

My DS's would get so preoccupied with playing, reading....whatever they were doing.....they wouldn't want to break away to go to the bathroom.

As someone posted earlier......boys are just icky sometimes!
