To most of you, today is Saturday- for me it is Wednesday. I am half way through my work week!!!

Ask me what I did today- just ask me....



Today, I stopped my patients heart and restarted it.....on purpose!!!

Is that not cool? We needed her heart to stop beating in the rhythm it was in- so we stopped it. She was "clinically" dead for 3.8 seconds and restarted in normal sinus....SO COOL!!! (Her family thought it was pretty cool too!)

This is part of the reasons that I am a nurse.


By the way...I got my documents!!! Finally!



Even though I'd rather do the banana dance for the heart- that was MUCH cooler than documents!

I'm off to bed- more work in the AM

Congrats on the documents!!!!!

Who cares about the documents, in contrast to that. I love it when things do the way they are suppose to....she will probably go home tomorrow.

Michelle and family, that is the coolest thing I have ever seen! Personalized M & M's, how did you ever think of that! They are too cool to eat.

Hello all....

10 hours and counting until I am off for WDW!!! I am so excited...yet exhausted. I am hoping to be finished and in bed by midnight with all the stuff. The girls are working feverishly on finishing up our sailaway gift....

They wanted me to share it with you...and in all the excitement they asked if I could share with you as they (and me) are too excited to wait...so please forgive the indulgence here...

It started when we were trying to come up with something and batting ideas about...

And I guess it helps to explain that the girls call me "NEM" which is their interpretation of "Auntie M" which is what I was going for originally....so, there will actually be 3 little peeps calling out my screen name throughout the cruise...LOL. So, keep and ear out and if you hear "NEM! NEM! NEM!" (and you will) that's me!!! But I digress...

So, given the NEM in their lives....the littlest one (that speaks), Beaux, has somehow confused MnM's with her NEM so whenever anything comes with MnM's she always says she wants NEM's on her ice cream or a NEM cookie whatever...makes us giggle every time.

So....also taking into account that rumor has it MnM's have been discontinued in scoops......we decided to bring custom MnM's for our special cruise friends that have been making this past 6 months so great!!!! (although the girls have a little something different for the kids on the cruise, but we will save that as a suprise)... We are truly grateful for all you have done and the hard work you have put in this past year to make such special times for people you have never met.

Im going to try to post a pic - (these little suckers were hard to take a pic of...) but the phrases we used (that met the guidelines and fit on the the M) were
-DIScover Magic
-REPO This
-Kingdom 2 Kingdom (the only way it would fit on the little thing...LOL)
-We're #1
-Magical Cruise
-WestBound
-MAGIC

And then we dropped in a couple of pink ones with our names, so that you guys knew they were from me and my sister and the girls.

So, we hope you can use them on your ice cream or take them with you to the movies and have a treat on us!! Although I am a bit worried about how to make sure everyone gets theirs...we dont really have them labeled by room, so as much as I hate it, I guess when they are gone , they are gone...although we have about 200 bags and a few back up plain green (no writing bags)...(if anyone has any good ideas about how to best distribute then I would be happy to hear them)

(Gosh, I hope this works)

Thanks - this got awfully long winded....but I look forward to checking in with you guys from WDW during the next week and cant wait to meet you all!!!


Michelle aka NEM (with help and deep thanks from Jennifer, Bailey, Ashton, Beaux and Baby Bella)

PS...the girls are so excited they can hardly stand themselves. They cannot wait to meet and make new friends...

Michelle & girls...

Those are sooooooooo cool!!!

I can't wait to show those to Quincy in the morning! She will be so excited "CHOCOLATE" Yippee!!

Thank you so much!!!

 

[mvlmeco]

1st: Bless all of you for the planning and organizational work to make this trip happen.

2nd: Bless all of you who are making special rememberances and giving so generously of yourselves and your talent. You are enriching the experience for everyone.

3rd: Bless all my long-time friends and brand new pals for making me feel a part of this great group.

4th: Bless all you bountiful, beautiful TUSSY YAYAs for your gift of friendship and support.

I hope I get to hug everyone so much my arms fall off.

I'm off to the airport Thursday and in Saratoga Springs Resort for a couple of night before the cruise. Yes, I finally got my documents and I've made ressies online for excursions at all the ports, plus the spa.

I agree---I'll be the one trying to hide them from my cabinmates for souvenirs....wonder how many years they'd last in a shadowbox?

 

[bonzie1]

NEM... and crew!!! no wonder you are excited!!! What a COOL idea! Custom M+Ms WOW!!!

Do you know what will be interesting... Watch future cruises and the type of merchandise... I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of our sail-away gifts become standard fare in the ship's shops!

ALSO.. Everyone... Thanks for the HUGS. and for the eras and BIG hearts! I am hoping after Tuesday the numbness will wear off. For now, I'm drinking my orange airborne.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

I checked DD into the "Club" online and when it asked who the designated adults were, my name was already listed and then there was a pull-down to show DH name. but, to my surprise there were also 47 other adults listed! At first I couldn't figure out who all the other people were?? Finally, I've got it - they are our late dining buddies!!

What a BIG family we have!!

Just tell them your daughter has 47 "guardian angels" to watch out for her also....

WOW!!! I am really impressed... you and the girls wrote all those sayings on the M&M's yourself ??? How cool!! I almost don't want to eat them!! Notice I said almost...... Really they are great... so creative! Can't wait to see them!!

 

[krdisneybound]

WOW - the M&M's look wonderful. What a nice idea. A lot of work went into them -

That is the coolest idea!!! I wish I could think of things like that. What we are doing for our sailaway gift is to just deliver them to the staterooms. We are printing maps and just making the trek around the ship.

We thought about handing them out at the sailaway party but one of my worries was how to keep the non-DISers from asking for them. Aside from making sure they were wearing lanyards, it would be hard to know who to give them to. It's going to be especially hard for you since you are probably going to be swamped with kids who see someone giving out "free" M&Ms!

Whatever you decide, make sure you do what you feel is best for you. Make sure you aren't too worried about handing them out and missing out on fun!
