100? Did I get it?

 

[Brooklyn]

WOW Stephanie yikes! If this is towards me let me chime in that my comment was stated to the previous one about having healthy children and by healthy I mean functional considering My son has been battling immunity problems since birth and has had surgeries and coded FTT more than once.... Who hasn't had a hard life ... My sister died when I was six and she was four... My favorite Aunt died of Cancer at age 41 and My Mother and My Grandfather just passed away within a six month span!!! My Mother died at age 54 from an massive heart attack
I have taken my children on Disney Cruises and NEVER have I had an upgrade to an outside stateroom until this time and I was not even referring to Cabin issues but only about the current state of our society and the stress that comes with it. My husband was stationed in Korea and missed our sons birth years ago and missed many special moments but I don't know why any of this is relevant to expressing my gratefulness for being able to soon be on vacation.
How you felt my comment was directed to you I am not sure

Just so you know I was not refering anything to the health of your children. I just feel like others are passing judgement on me bc I am disappointed. Of course there is so much in life to be thankful for but can't I also be disappointed about something else? That is all I was trying to say. I have a ton in life to be thankful for but yes I am disappointed about this. Does that not make me thankful for anything else.

I am probably being too sensative but I just wanted you to know that I do understand that there are many things in life to be thankful for.

 

[ruley3]

This is how I felt it was directed towards me. I felt that you were saying me being diappointed will effect my children. I bare a whole load every day having nothing to do with this cruise to keep from my children.

If I took it the wrong way I am sorry. I just can't handle when someone tells me how to feel. If I want to be disappointed then let me be diappointed.

I just feel like you putting a title to yourself is somehow making those of us who are disappointed like we are wronging our children.

Man you beat me to the 100

Stephanie I think you were thinking about the cabin stuff and I was talking more about stuff in general and especially about being thankful... Since losing my mom I have really taken notice of so many things and I would give anything in the world to just be able to pick up the phone and hear her voice one last time... This will be my first Mother's Day without her. I know lots of people in our group have dealt with many different issues so that is why I didn't understand why you listed things your family had experienced as a shout out. You definately are entitled to your opinion and my comments were just that ... my comments.
My Children are so good at picking up my vibes even if I don't even realize it and my oldest puts me back in check for example when my anxiety creeps into the dominant state
I get disappointed as well over things all the time don't get me wrong...but I am letting you know that my attitude of being happy has nothing to do with my cabin assignment and that is just how I feel and I did not understand how it was made to seem that I am only able to be happy because I got an upgrade...
So I don't know what else to say....

My mom's doctors can't seem to decide the cause of the severe pain in her legs since Christmas. As soon as she puts any pressure on them she is in awful pain and for my mom to say that means it is bad.

I'm not sure if she is strong enough to push herself around. Steph-maybe she can hang out with your mom near the drink station. The decks can be very slippery-yes- as my Wi Fit just told me-I am unbalanced.

I think we will just go with the chair because it collapses and she does not have to worry it is in the way in the hall when she has to get around the cleaning carts. She won't like to bother the room steward about where to park it and plug it in at night. I tried to convince my mom to get a handicapped room, so the scooter would go right in, but my dad ( even though we are pretty far aft) does not want to be at the very back of the ship. To me it is all the same. We have sailed in an aft cabin on RC and they hated it

We will probably be the two that get along the best on the boat....
We just need to get a Bigger bubble for Lance and Maddie and it will all be good!!!

The wheel chair that collapses fits in the bathtub for storage

Oh goodness! Hope you can figure something out! The companion chairs are lighter & easier to push, incase you never heard of those.

YES please do not forget I also have Layne who is 14 and in the 8th grade.... He just doesn't know about the cruise yet. For those who have kiddos his age thought maybe you could share some info about him... He loves his computer of course but also plays the Saxophone and plays Soccer. His honor English class has him on Pins and needles right now and he gets easily discouraged with this particular teacher! I really hope all the teens can click with him and I hope I have not prevented him from forming bonds but the surprise is soooo much fun!

I am sure that Layne & Larry will bond!!! No worries!!!

What meds did they give your mom for her leg pain? Did she see a neurologist?

It seems to me that EVERYONE here has been thru a LOT, so this cruise will be a welcome break for us all. Cabin assignments, stress of day to day life, lay offs, swine flu, finances.... it's a lot for any of us to handle. So, I am sending EVERYONE a big hug and hoping that the days from now on are smooth sailing... especially smooth during our cruise! You are all a fabulous group of women, and I am very excited to meet you in 38 days.

Okay so what's the verdict on the FE gifts? I have not seen any new people post in the last few days. Although we may have scared them away with our cabin posts

I'm totally with you on this! A cruise with no worries of every day life is what I'm looking forward to!

Yes, what are we doing with FE? Grocery store took 2 hours, so I'm now shopping during DDs art class is a bit.

We're headed out for Mexican tonight to celebrate! 9 years ago today I had emergency surgery to save my pregnancy (was on hospital bedrest for 14 weeks). So it is Cinco de Mayo, but for us it has a more personal meaning!​
