Just so you know I am not getting a complex or something. Where did everyone go?

Seperate post because I'm afraid some people might skim past my "long quotes" post. LOL

Todd- glad you're back! We missed you (and everyone else that was gone on this cruise!) I saw someone else asked but didn't see your reply. I thought for a minute there I was losing my mind because I thought you had 2 children! Did your other child not go on the cruise-or just didn't get into the pirates stuff for the photos? (not even the white repo-logo shirts at the end of the cruise?)

Yes I do have 2 children DS 15 and DS6 ....DS 15 did not make this trip due to various reasons , some bad grades , attitude , the new school schedule , his band schedule .......But things have gotten a little better and he seems to be trying and really felt bad he didnt work harder to go after he realized we left without him ....But he says he will work harder to go on the Panama , but I think with his football schedule and band he may not make this one as well ....

update.........I had several tests a couple of weeks ago. I have sludge and stones in gallbladder

Yucko..... I had my GB out a little over 2 yrs ago....

I'm much better off without it... That one's an easy surgery if they can do it Lap.

My ST will be severly lucky if she makes this trip with her atitude lately.
Every night/morning has been a challenge since school started and it's only the 2nd week.

update.........I had several tests a couple of weeks ago. Results are in, I have minor arthritis in my lower back. I need a double operation, hope this isn't to much TMI I have sludge and stones in gallbladder and they found some things in my ovaries, thus requiring 2 different surgeons. I am having a problem with my sugar & chol. They need to be stablized before surgery. I am having a different kind of test on Mon. for sugar and have one appt. for surgeon already. I can't believe how quick they got me in, don't know if that's a good thing or not? Not fretting too much, it is what it is. I will admit I am scared but more worried about family being worried. This will also force Chuck to use some of his vacation time that he has so much of.

That's a lot to absorb at once. 2 operations. Wow. My back was helped out with the PT I went thru. Will definitely send some PD your way.

It might be Lap, not sure yet. Luckily your ST has some time.

Let me clarify that I will only be opened up once. Yes 2 different operations but at least done the same time. I also think it could always be worse, slipped disc ect. If they happen to see something with the other surgeon well at least it will be taken care of if you know what I mean. My Mom & sister had cancer at a young age...........trying not to think about that just that finally I will start feeling good again.

Aw Tina...I pray they get everything straightened out for you.

Wishing you the best and lots of pixie dust

Thanks Monica, not sure how long I will be in hospital. Will let everyone know when I go under though.




Thanks to everyone who has put info on the site. Not sure how you get the discount for Doubletree We tried a couple of times but couldn't get the 139.00 rate. We booked for one night, one room 2 queen beds for 184.00.

Hi Tracy: How are you & your family doing?





I know you can't book on Jet Blue till Feb. for cruise, but looking at rates for Feb. hoping they are just as good for Aug. They have a direct flight from Chicago to Long beach for 99.00 a person.


Anyone familar with Jet Blue and the credits?? I have a credit that needs to be used by June, I was wondering if I use it to book in Feb. but don't actually use it till Aug.?? Thanks if anyone knows if not another thing on list to take care of.

Hi Tracy: How are you & your family doing?

Thanks Tina, we are doing ok. Been really busy between work, my house, mom's house, but it's all coming together.

I decided I can't wait until December for our trip to WDW. Looking into doing something in October

Keeping busy does help although things probaly seem like a blur now.
Good for you on moving up your trip !
I have open house tonight at DD school, Brooke at the thought of me trying to find all her rooms in the time allowed.

This would have been a good time for a run, shucks only a couple hundred posts away. I think I have only been in the run twice since this thread was started.

Since I have to make dinner before leaving for open house...........I am making these along with toss salad & potatoe salad.

Can only imagine what ST will say. I know you will understand Cheryl.

What kind of buns do you use for them?

First time I ever bought these. I am using regular old hamburger buns and I am thinking the ears will be the first to go.

A couple pics from our trip two weeks ago....

Family Pic before the wave....

Great pics! Wow Kristina you look absolutely fabulous!

Seperate post because I'm afraid some people might skim past my "long quotes" post. LOL

Anyone feeling so inclined- please send some pixie dust our way. I'm a worry-wart by nature but my stress level is up to HERE lately because of "financial stuff".

So anyway... he's applied, the supervisor is on vacation this week (he's the only one hiring- Jeff's previous coworker that told him he'd hire Jeff if only Jeff would apply there...) -so I'm not sure how this is going to play out... have to wait for him to call Jeff and Jeff to ask him all these questions about the stuff I mentioned above. But it's POSSIBLE he may be starting a new job soon... and it just scares me.
(Yes,I said I'm a worry wart...)
So think good thoughts please...

On a good note- school is going well for the kids... and although I have my days to myself, I still haven't gotten my sleep schedule changed as well as I got the kids' sleep schedule changed. So I'm not getting a whole lot done during the day (ie: napping LOL) And the kids are back to keeping me VERY busy in the afternoons/evenings. But so far no scheduling snafus... somehow I manage to split myself into 3 people to keep up with these kids and their schedules.

And we have new neighbors. They still haven't technically "moved in" (they haven't moved furniture in yet- just closed this weekend) but they will be soon. They moved in to the house next to us that's been on the market longer than ours was (and we've lived here almost a year now- wow that 10mo went by fast!) But the best thing is... this family that bought the house next to us used to live across the street from us 2 moves ago (meaning not the last house we bought- but the house we were renting for a few years before that- so I mean they were neighbors with us, for a few years, a few years ago).

Hope everyone has a great "end of week" and weekend... if I'm not back before then to say so.

Bip I cut your post down a bit but I just wanted to respond that I hope Jeff gets the job & it works out financially for you!

Glad the kids are doing well in school! I KWYM about staying on the same late schedule & "napping" while the kids are at school. Keeps me from doing much during the day too, but once they are home it's non-stop till their bedtime. So maybe we deserve that nap KWIM?

Funny the same thing happened to us. We moved from a neighborhood of smaller houses to a neighborhood of slightly bigger homes. The neighbors that lived across the street from us in our old house, moved across the street from us here about a year after we moved. Funny huh? My DD was good friends with their DD, but they don't get along anymore. Oh well life happens!

I haven't read every post some things are going on around here. They are minor compared to the other losses people are going through. Will give a brief update in a min. Wanted to say some stuff before I forget............

Late dinner people............we cancelled our waitlist for main dining. Count us in !!! It just works out better for us especially the time zone diff.


Chrissie: Congrats on your engagement !

Just to give you an idea.........

Woohoo! I'm glad to hear it! You joined us traitors!!!

I love that pic of you at Castaway Cay! So beautiful!

Hi Diane: Hey at least it's now and not next summer. Now I am not a racist.........all I care about is that I know the surgeons will do the best job. I just found this funny............My appts. are set for Tue. & Wed. 2 different surgeons at 2 different places. The names are Chin & Joo.
