I am finally all packed. Checked in online this morning for Southwest in between 2 of our 3 games and parade practice. Whew! Such a relief. We leave in the morn at 9am.
As many of you know my mom has Alzheimer's and she lives at a local facility. I am her person though and I spend about 4 hours a day working with her situation. I have brothers but they are conveniently unavailable. Well I just turned in my paperwork to the assisted living to let them know I will be unavailable and unreachable for the next 9 days. I am so excited!!!! They can call my brothers. Ha! I love my mother dearly but it is exhausting with the 3 kids.
That makes this trip all the more exciting. A true break!!!! I can't wait to be at the BC!!!!!
Thanks so much for all the fun these past few months. Of course I am too addicted to not stay around and plan my next trip in 2015!

I am still incredibly behind on responses, although I do think I have read everyone's recent posts.

Totally off topic but, I got my two and a half stone award today from Slimming World.

That is fantastic news! Congratulations.

HBGdancermom - I truly hope you have the most magical trip ever.

I am taking care of my mom (not alzheimer's, but still a lot of work) and I KNOW how much of a break you need. It seems every family has the "conveniently not available sibilings".

Can't wait to hear all about your trip - and say hi to Teena for me!

Yay!! Safe travels! My mom is in an Assisted Living facility too, in Florida. I'm the go to person and it's hard taking care of stuff long distance. I was never able to convince my mom to move closer to me. And now it's too late. I moved her last year to a smaller facility, and it's working out much better.
Enjoy your break

I surprised my wife with the 50 minute Swedish massage last year. She said she enjoyed. But I guess she would since I treated her ....



Take all the time you need lady. This thread would not be what it is without you!

Well, if you book me into the BC spa for a massage I'll gladly give you my opinion on it

 

[HBGdancermom]

I am really excited for you! It has been great to have your upbeat presence on the BC thread. Now you have to continue your frequent posts and let us know how your BC stay is going. You know how fun they are to read.

Not long now

See you tomorrow!

Can't wait!!!

IT'S TIME!!!

Enjoy every minute!

YEAH!!!!!!!

Thanks! It is so hard caring for a parent no matter what they have. I will! So excited to meet the BC Celeb!

I am so glad I did get her to move here and she was great for a year before she had a surgery, crazy pain meds and then the trigger...
I have moved to her 4 different facilities in 5 years and finally have her at the best one!

Thanks and I will post updates!!

HBGdancermom - have a magical trip!! I returned from our fantastic trip on Wednesday!!

Sorry if this has been asked already (I've been lazy and not read through previous pages), I know Teena and some of you guys have posted about the anticipated BC refurb but there were a couple of posts yesterday on other threads about a room refurb permit for the YC, does this mean YC is going to be done before the BC?

I was told BC is first.

Have a great trip.

On me, when I held my arms down, it was about a half inch shorter than my fingertips.

I called it the school test since skirts at our schools have to be longer than your fingertips will reach.

Hahaha!
