2006 Summer Sanitarium Tour

[Disneyland_Mama]

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!

True that! True that!

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. Epcot was actually pretty empty that day.

I just have to say that is my happy place, CS in Mexico, sitting on the patio with a margarita and those nachos. YUMMMMM

Yet, GP keeps chewing and chewing and chewing. And we are waiting and waiting and waiting.

Oh, this thread is so.....bad in a good way? Good in a bad way? When bad things happen to good people......S'late, I am sorry to be so entertained by your suffereing, but I am glad that you are able to laugh a little about it after the fact - you are laughing a little, aren't you?

What a challenge this group sounds like! I am starting to get nerous for my non-grand-gathering party of 7 next month, based on your experience. I am guiltily looking forward to more pain and suffering from you - you really do have a way of making a person read things out to her DH and ! This TR is a great one!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry my posts are coming so slow! I'm working full-time to support my habit. Now, where were we?

 

[TwinkieMama]

Add me to the I-can-not-look-away list......

but really S'late the only thing funnier than putting your napkin on your head is taking your pants off during a meal

"I don't really know what to discipline my kids about because I don't think there's anything wrong with them.

"My son does outrageous things like taking his pants off at the table, and I know I should object but I find them so amusing.

Of course, her kids are like 4 and 2.... but maybe it is three star behavior?

Thank you everyone for helping me get through another family reunion. It was a pretty tame event, but of course I had to tell my other BIL's all about the trip. They were

 

[sorul82?]

TM,

I never looked under the table, so I have no clue if the pants stayed on or not. If it would get him attention, he'd do it. You know, when your sorry sack of poopy mother pays no attention to you except to laugh at you when you have a napkin on your head, I guess you'll do anything. Sad, isn't it?

By the way, I love your lassoing Twinkie. I hope he doesn't lasso himself! That could be a bit messy.

 

[UtahMama]

I've stared at that lasooing Twinkie The Kid (while I was thinking)...and it hypnotizes you! Then the phone rings and startles me out of th trance!

NO WAY!!! We're all together again!!!! I've been so sad not being constanly joined at the hip like we used to...

I'm verclempt.

And hungry.
I dont understand why my stomach feels the need to growl when there's plenty of fat to tide it over for 2 or 3 months.

Where are we?
Oh ya, S'late....your family (ok, it's Serius's family first!!!) is SO entertaining!!! Have I said that before? Having a sense of humor is manditory when dealing with the all black sheep portion of the family!!!

Mine is sort of the same...

I'll be sitting at a heated family freak-show and just start nervously LAUGHING inapropriately. Then everyone focuses their stupidity at ME, accusing me of making a joke out of everything! Which isnt true! When I'm NOT laughing, I'm imagining them prancing in tu-tu's and singing "Muscrat Love" or something random off the top of my head!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

It's 4:30....
Is it late?
No it is early early

OMG! Spin Doctors. I know I am way late with this discovery, but better late than never. I have a tendancy to wait until a trippie has been around for a while so I can read a lot at once so I don't have to wait around for the next installment.

 

[sorul82?]

The Panthers won!!!

WOOHOO!!!!! I didn't get to watch any of the game, but it's about dang time!!

 

[sorul82?]

Just to let everyone know, I did finally crack. I completely lost it at MGM and really showed my tail in public. Right there under the bleachers for LMA! Too much sun, no Diet Mt. Dew, having two kids dumped on me. I was just so put upon! I really needed a good talking to and a time out! On top of everything else, my chocolate chip cookie melted.

But, for now, we are still in Epcot. Anyone want to know the best place to sit in China?

 

[UtahMama]

No.

I'm still sad about your cookie!

Dont leave out any details on your tantrum. You are an angel for lasting as long as you did!

DING DING DING!!!

WE have a WINNER.


S'late- a mama tantrum is coming?!? Complete with a melted cookie?

Oh please TELL ALL!!!!!


drats-now I want a cookie.....

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Your trippie needs a sub title.... "When bad things happen to good people" or "When funny things happen to good people who attempt to travel with disfunctional family-in law" or how about "Kids gone wild"
Can't wait to read about the cookie melt down! Don't skimp on the details...
And what this about "work"??? What is that??

 

[Al and Kate's Mom]

Share the tantrum, share the tantrum

 

[UtahMama]

Did it look anything like this?

waiting!

 

[sorul82?]

So, here I sit, trying my dangdest to remain calm and bask in the glory of my children displaying proper rearing. 10 of us just couldn’t take anymore, so we left Grandpa to chew his water while we rode It’s a Small World Mexico. We had fallen behind schedule and there was much ground to cover, and certainly no room for error. Did I just say no room for error? Well, that was just a big ole invitation for a “what else could go wrong” type of afternoon. After the ride, we had more bathroom/smoke/bathroom/MIA Grandpa time. The group did make progress, and we all ended up next door in Norway. Not sure how, but we all managed to get in line for Maelstrom. After the ride and the exciting movie, it was time again for another bathroom/smoke/bathroom break. Grandpa grabs Grandma’s wheelchair, mumbles choice words, and whisks her off to China. After we round up the gang, we head over to China to look for the GP’s. We find Grandma sitting outside of the theater. Grandpa just left her sitting there. We all go in to rock da house while we stand clear of the automatic doors. I kept thinking that grandpa was going to join us at any moment. Anyhow, the time on the “minutes til showtime” clock hit 0 so we crept closer to the yellow line. Whiner, again needing to be first, runs right over to the automatic doors. Now I’m faced with a tough decision: Do I let him stay there so he gets wacked by the door? Or do I yet again, scold him for not listening? Hmmm, what should I do? I was so tempted to say nothing. Soooooo tempted!

You know that Love and Logic would say that he would learn best from his mistake (of course, a bloody nose/fat lip/chipped tooth could further impact your touring schedule). Hmmmmm... that's a toughie.

Why don't you just tell us the rest? It's Saturday, we're all lame with no life so we are happy to spend our evening with your dysfunctional family! It's just like home!

Ooh - as a Mom, I know your holdback, but I can just see that little devil jumping up and down on your shoulder screaming "Let the little snot get hit"
