Happy Saturday I actually looked into my closet this morning and thought, "You know, I REALLY should start organizing and packing." I think I'm going to wake up my boys and head over to Kohl's ... youngest needs new sneakers and oldest needs another pair of dress pants. And who knows ... I might find something for me too Then it's off to the sporting goods store for new backpacks.

I want to get out and back as early as possible today. The forecast had more rain for today, but now they've changed their mind and the weather is supposed to be practically perfect. I think I need to practice sitting in my lounger and reading a book ... want to make sure I've got it right for NEXT WEEKEND

Safe travels for all that are heading out already. I don't have the option of being nervous to travel ... DH takes care of that for me, so I need to be in control for the kiddos He's already asked me a zillion times what time our flight leaves on Friday ... and will he have time to have a few drinks before we board

DH takes care of the kids for me on a flight. I try to sit by myself so I don't pass my anxiety to them. Luckily they kind of laugh at my fear. DD9 says I better not scream or she will be soooo embarassed!

I will definately be taking some happy pills...I think I will start them at least 4 days prior so they get into my system better. I just want a "knock you on your socks " pill.

:Well she didn't just break her toe- she lied about calling me so she could continue to play while her toe was broken and apparently ended up SOMEHOW having someone else in the velcro suit FALL on her and her hair get all tangled in it- (even though it was in a ponytail) and it took 3 adults to untangle her hair from the velcro clad band member and Ruby was in the back "game room" brushing thru the tangles.... and tearing her hair up into bits in the process!
Loverly.......... oh so loverly.......

so I was worried with good reason apparently- she returned home with a broken toe and her hair just a mess now- broke off at all various lengths from getting tangled in the velcro suit the other band member was wearing when he fell on her (and apparently struggled to try to untangle her hair until some adults told him to stop and helped her get her hair untangled) and from brushing furiously thru the tangles herself afterwards.

Oh and apparently my body decided right now would be a good time to start swelling up (hands and feet and ankles) for some reason. I have no idea why. the only time I've ever swelled up like that is A) when pregnant with Rita and B) towards the end of our last cruise- that's it. So why now? why? tell me!
(and now I can't be pregnant! )

I knew my fears weren't unfounded (fears of someone getting hurt before the cruise... I really meant it when I said I'd like to put my kids in a bubble when I said it last week!)

I am sorry about Ruby -- tape the toe to the next one....

re: swelling : And it must be something in the air! I am all *puffy*. I was trying on clothes to pack and a few things were pretty tight - that weren't just recently. I got on the scale. Nope, weigh the same. I kne wmy hands were puffy but, I dodn't realize it extended to my entire body!!!

I'm going to drink lots of water and hope that helps! LOL!

I'm just surfing , trying to find something to do for the day in Vegas...

There was talk of matching t-shirts and multiple cruises..I think these people know about the dis

Does this mean we have to move???
Maybe we can get in the DIS protection plan..

I was just reading this:

"Bellagio: Inspired by a village on Italy's Lake Como, the Bellagio boasts Las Vegas' most unusual lobby ceiling, an exuberant, Dale Chihuly-designed, blown-glass creation that tempts many a photographer to plop down on their backs to get the best shot of it..."

Wonder if any of them make carpet angels?

Not quite -- we board at 8:55 and everything is on time . . .

Oh, Dear Lord, I hope you didn't jinx yourself by saying that!

Those can be the most awful precursors: "Everything is on time."

Is ok, she can follow Julie stalking me! (She has gone hasnt she?)

Like the Olympic commentators,

They are so much out in front, nothing can stop them now!

''On Paper'' they should win this gold medal. (Well its not on paper!)

Mum saw the cardiologist last week and in his opinion she hadn't had a heart attack and can not find any damage or cause for concern. He thinks the machine was being over zealous in its readings. Good news definitely!.

I'm so glad to hear this!!

My MIL is like this. She takes several of her pills and we have to make sure one of us is sitting next to her so that nothing happens.....

I don't mind flying but, I am starting to feel extreme anxiety for the entire vacation. Since I am the only *planner* in the family I feel responsible for everyone to have a good time. I know that makes no sense but, that is how I feel!

I've decided to start packing...you know not like we are leaving in 5 days or anything....

Confimed and reconfirmed all transport and reservations.

 

[geffric]

Yes, and most importantly, NO more diet! I'm pretending that all food and drinks have zero calories!!

and they don't?? I thought all food eaten off of the mainland was calorie free..
