Hi Mandy,
I just got back from lunch with my friend cristina. While we were out we stopped at target and i got a couple f e things and a scale..ugh..didn't want to get on it but i want to know just how much weight i am losing so i did it..lol

Man was it an eye opener i was shocked to be honest..iI am very depressed now... I thought i was lighter...Now i am more motivated though so i guess it was a good thing to really know.

So are you just relaxing for the rest of the day now mandy?

Hey Michele, it sounds like you've had a nice afternoon (except for the weigh-in ) Well the only way to look at it is, that you're going to get lighter and lighter each week from now on Good luck with your dieting - we're all going to be a bunch of 'skinny minnies' in a few months time

Yep a nice relaxing evening is ahead of me. Just a bit of ironing later and I've got to throw something in the microwave for Paul's tea and that's it really

Just put the TV remote control in a different place and he'll be convinced you've had a clean up

I love the way you think Mandy I'll have to go move the remote in a little while because I've had no desire to clean today.

Well you know what men are like ? It doesn't take much to throw them (only joking !!)

Brennan had a dental visit earlier and his dentist pulled out one of his top front teeth which had been dangling by a thread the last month. He looks so cute with such a huge gap. I was surprised it didn't come out at wrestling Saturday or Sunday. He won 1st place in his age/weight division in his final wrestling tournament yesterday and got another huge trophy. His baseball coach has already called to start practice next Monday. I sure wish there was some more down time in youth sports these days. I want them to be involved in sports, but they are all such a huge time commitment.

I had to get my parents completed trip insurance paperwork from the pediatrician's office this afternoon since they canceled their trip/cruise to Florida last Tuesday after Keegan's CT results. It had a copy of the CT results and I finally read past the second line. It made me sick to my stomach to read. I'm waiting on hearing back from the doctor's office about when he'll do his blood work this week and next CT scan. I thought he was doing better and then last night he said his chest hurt when he ran a few paces after his friend at wrestling (before I caught him and yelled at them to stop). I made him sleep with us again and watched him half the night. I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown waiting on next week's CT scan. I read the current diagnosis of a possible bronchogenic cyst and it's just as scary reading about case studies as the lymphoma diagnosis. I just want to know what it is and have it gone. To top everything off this week, my twin brother had to have an emergency appendectomy last night.

I sure hope this week turns out better than the last 7 days.

Its been quiet here the last few days so here is a question for everyone...

What do you look forward to most on the cruise (your must do list)? If you haven't cruised what are you looking forward to trying?

Some of my favorite things...

Sail Away...Standing on Deck 10 watching the land slip away and the sense of relaxation that hits me when I realize I'm on vacation!

Dinners with no kids...I love my kids but it is nice to be a grown up and have a few meals with adults only

Watching the excitement in my kids faces with all the new experiences (seeing the ship, swimming, meeting the characters, etc)


Have to run do more PTA stuff but I can't wait to read everyone's responses...

 

[V4dice]

Danielle,

Hope everything improves for you this week and you get only good news.

 

[mandymouse]

Oh Danielle, I'm not surprised that you feel like you do, I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I wish there was something I could say or do to make this next week fly by, but no doubt it will feel like the longest week you have ever known. I hope and pray for good news for you next week

Well done to Brennan for winning another competition

Great question Veronica, and this could be a long list So here is what I am looking forward to

- Getting to the port early and being one of the first onboard
- Hearing 'Welcome aboard the Martindale Family'
- Having lunch at the BBB and sitting by the Goofy Pool while it's still quiet
- Two stops at Castaway Cay
- Brunch at Palo
- Dinner at Palo
- Seeing the new Toy Story show
- Getting dressed up for dinner
- Doing nothing at Nassau
- Taking part in the Fish Extender exchange
- Meeting all of you
- and finally drinking lots of Bahama Mamas

I'm sure there's a lot more things that I'm looking forward to, but I can't think of any more at the moment

My favorite things
Hearing them announce Welcome aboard Donelan Family
Watching the mickey hands wave at us
Watching land disappear
Laughing at jeff in his lifejacket
Sitting on my Verabdah watching the sunrise while having breakfast
Ordering room service
Napping on castaway Cay
Not seeing dolphins at 4a.m.
Playing bingo with pikey
I could go on forever

 

[mandymouse]

Not seeing dolphins at 4a.m.

I'm so excited about the 2 stops at Castaway too..this is our first double dip! This is my 1st time doing a fish extender too & I'm sure it will be such fun....plus getting to shop for it adds to the excitement. Can't wait to meet all of you too! How did I know Bahama Mamas were going to be on your list Mandy

Watching the mickey hands wave at us

Ooh! Thats a good one

Ordering room service
Not seeing dolphins at 4a.m.

Room service -one of my son's favorite things..."You mean we don't have to pay for it" (Although he doesn't realize Mommy & Daddy paid lots of money for the cruise)

I hope the dophins will cooperate and show up some other time than 4am this trip for you

Okay...I'm waiting for some more lists
