Sorry to hijack this thread (again) but I LOVE THIS!! It is me. In the mornings. Just ask my kids!

Now back to the TR - this brings me back to all the trips I've made with the outlaws over the years. It also re-affirms our decision that our only obligation was to eat dinner with the whole group, which allowed my commando family to tour the park as it should be toured - in high gear all the way! I would have gone CRAZY waiting for all the potty breaks and Waldos.
 
Come on give more! It sounds like some of our vacation trips.... :goodvibes

And Umama, that's a mighty big Pepsi you got there ;)

As we exit TTWC, the kidlets run to see Bruce while the grandparents take a potty break. And then more potty breaks. I just park my rump on the floor and serve as the bouncer of the bladder bar. When the GP’s return, grandpa is too darned impatient to wait a couple of minutes for everyone else to return, so he takes off with grandma. Now, when the others come back, we have to send someone to find the GP’s. Do you see a pattern? It was like this the whole trip. Sirius goes to find them, and they return sans Sirius. Now Brain goes to find Sirius, and wouldn’t you know, Whiner has to use the bathroom again! FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! :furious:


OMG!! It's a whole group of Where's Waldos!!! :rotfl2: Glad I'm not the only whose family drives her insane! :furious:
 

It reminds me of when we went on our first cruise with the parents. I of course being the planner I am, knew what to expect and when. By the time we got on the ship and to the buffet, I said (through gritted teeth) I will watch the luggage, please go get some food and I will go when you get back (read: walk away or risk being thrown overboard!). :teeth: I felt like a shepard!

The whole where's waldo thing would make me INSANE (or more anyway :rotfl: ). And still being in bed at 7:25 .. AAAHHHHH

Hoping for more pixiedust: for your trip .. did you make it to Mexico .. did you have that much needed margarita?
 
I should have posted this last night, so you all could have dedicated your entire Sunday morning to praying for me. Or, for the Baptist, the 59 minutes we spend playing dots and thinking about the lunch buffet at the Holiday Inn and praying for our favorite football team to win. ;) Anyhow, whether you are religious or not, please utter this phrase today: Dear Lord, please be with Sister S'Late today as she endures the longest 90 minutes of her life. Please give her strength and patience and please please let there be some diet Mt. Dew. Let her deviled eggs taste yummy as always, and don't let anyone get food poisoning. And Lord, give her the power to do the mean smile at MIL because we need her to stay out of jail so she can finish this trip report. Amen. In case you haven't guessed it, we are going to Sirius' family reunion today. To make things worse, I will be missing the Panthers game. Oh yeah, Lord, please let the Panthers win today!


Oh crap.....I forgot about my eggs! I hope all of the water hasn't boiled out, again! :blush:

hoping for pixie dust for you pixiedust:
 
I have found the key to surviving events with DH's family is to just keep eating. When you mouth is full, you can't really talk, just chew slowly, nod politely and then head off for a napkin. Works like a charm!

Dear Lord, please don't let S'late end up on an episode of Cops. Please let her not bite her tongue in half and most of all, please don't let any of her typing fingers be hurt so she can keep on with her TR. Amen!

Oh NOOOOO!!!!!!

Ok, DONT panic!
God would understand if you liquer-up just a little. (Notice I tend to suggest drugs and alcohol???? sorry! I AM kidding!)

Think of them as ENTERTAINMENT!!!
The whole time think of the reasons they bug you.
DONT forget to say, "bless his/her heart", to clear you of any gossiping.

I say, leave the eggs unrefrigerated and over salt them, while your at it!

That'll teach em!

I will want a Trip Report done on this reunion! Or just a few paragraphs. Pretty please!

Good Luck Sister S'late! (your gonna need it!)
 
Amen :angel:

and here's some pixiedust: to help out also, cause every little bit helps.

And when they get on the last nerve you have, here's a little guy to help you back to the "World" and a wonderful trip without the extra family members! :teleport:
 
Hey S'late! I know this is a different trip but DH and I really enjoyed meeting you and your family at Ecpot on 9/13! Great kids and you are a terrific TR writer. It was great to meet another Diser but especially one whose trip reports I love to read! :thumbsup2
 
Let’s see, I think it’s about noon-thirty maybe closer to 1:00 when we make it to Mexico. There is no line at the counter service place. :goodvibes Epcot was actually pretty empty that day. Perhaps everyone was getting their last dose of Millionaire? :confused3 Anyhow, the CS in Mexico was YUM-MMY! But we had a tiny bit of drama. GP orders for himself and grandma. I ordered for everyone else. Apparently I was one kid meal short, so GP had to go order since he had two children in his room. This did not make for a happy GP because he had already started to eat, and we learned on this trip that he does not like to be interrupted when he is eating. I don’t know if I mentioned that he is a step-grandpa and never had kids of his own. I think that he is acting pretty selfish, but if you have never had wee ones, I guess you don’t know the sacrifices? Anyhow, my thoughts are: hey old man, you are 82, I think you have had plenty of uninterrupted meals, get over it! Well, it turns out that GP needs every second of dining time because he likes to savor his meals. The rest of us get on with the program as there is so much to do. Yet, GP keeps chewing and chewing and chewing. And we are waiting and waiting and waiting. And waiting children get bored, and bored children, especially attention deprived children, take these opportunities to display deviant behaviors. pirate: I believe I read about this next scene over on the “Guests behaving badly thread.” If you witnessed this event and are traumatized, I sincerely apologize. First off, Whiner starts throwing his food on the ground for the birds. I’m pretty sure there is a sign that says not to feed the birds. I am looking around to find the sign (because if I just mention it, I will be labeled as the mean aunt), and before I know it, Whiner has gotten up and is chasing after the birds flapping his arms and squawking at them. Of course, his sister and my children follow suit, so now there are five children running around possessed with mad cow disease, flapping their arms and squawking very loudly. I have never been so embarrassed in my life! :sad2: Oh yeah, I need to tell about another one of Whiner’s antics…one that I am still trying to break my children of! :furious: The previous night at O’Hana, Whiner put his napkin on his head. This is cute, FOR A TWO YEAR OLD! Not so cute for 6, 8, and 9 year olds. I told him that we were in a three-star restaurant and he needed to use his three-star manners! (I have no clue how many stars O’Hana has, but you get the point.) Believe it or not, there is more drama to come! :crazy:

I can so SEE this! This is one of those times you want to look around and say loudly "WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?" :rotfl:

Funny stuff.

Oh goody!

Very nice Slatie, very nice.
I'm practicing to be the "mean Auntie" for our December trip. Any tips?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me this is not the kid who was reported on another thread as having pulled down his pants and peed in the queue of BTMRR! If so, you'll have to change his name from Whiner to Whizzer!

Think about writing professionaly. Seriously. Call the UG people and tell them to add a chapter on family bonding time at DW.
You will make millions. Oprah will host you so you can let people know in advance what kind of " trip"(and I use the term loosly) they are in for. Dr. Phil will praise you to the glories.

I cannot get the coffee I have snorted out of my nose from laughing so hard off the keyboard, OR the poor cat, who was laying here sleeping and canoot understand why his momma is just on the floor in hysterical laughter. :rotfl: :rotfl2:
 
OH Heck Ya!

Go Grandpa!!!! Chhhheeeewwww your food! Did you take his card and handle it yourself?

I sneak an feed the birds too... so I cant judge!

And! Kids running around flapping their wings is soooo funny (when it's NOT my kids!) At least they occupied themselves whilst GPa chewed!


The contents of this TR are so painful to read! an YET, I cannot look away!
