8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[Enna]

Ah Andy, our stinky teens are leaving the nest


Hey wait, me, you and Enna can have brunch............

at an undisclosed location.....right Enna

I thought Andy just disclosed the location--The Old Country Buffet!

The family we are hooking up with for DL has a parent who appears to be metastatic with cancer. She already had a kidney removed last year to try and forestall the spread - but the signs are emerging now that last years surgery was not in time to save her. The weeks and months to come will conclusively confirm the spread and stage 4 condition - as she just confided with us last week that they found spots on her last scan. Sad... as they have a 1.75 year old boy and no other family locally. They are the nicest folks too.... and of our age (low 40s).

CC, so very sad

 

[Enna]

He beat me and I am in a different time zone!

Usually Five hours ahead! But we havent changed our clocks yet.

Hey, MR--

SEE--It's already after NOON where Andrew lives!

 

[Verandah Man]

He beat me and I am in a different time zone!

Usually Five hours ahead! But we havent changed our clocks yet.

We will move our clocks ahead one hour before we go to bed this coming Saturday night. Usually takes me a few days to get adjusted to the time change.

Tina--

I'm sorry that you are feeling so stressed. Hope things go more smoothly for you than you anticipate!

Enna: Thank you, I am praying. I don't handle stress all that well.

Tina, I know this has been tough on you, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Andy: One of the hardest things is Brewster will stay behind. Dante can go because he is under 25 lbs. I believe ex will take him.

Good Morning Everyone
There will be no way I can ketchup. I feel guilty. Now I have a confession to make.............I can't deny this any longer because it is becoming a reality but boy can life be tough sometimes.

My DH just signed a lease yesterday for a apartment in Chicago. I am going to try and move to Chicago by the beginning of summer. I have been in this house for 16 years and so much clutter to go through and hurry up to get this house ready to sell, court with ex will not be fun. DD starting high school alot needs to be done there. My DD has been in the same school district her whole life.

One of the reasons I had posed the question about taking kids out of school a million pages ago was for this reason. Brooke will miss the first 5 days of school. We have made the decision that the cruise was booked first and well the experience and family can't replace that.

This decision has not come lightly and I can't tell you how many times we changed our minds in the process. Thanks for reading this. Letting others know can only help me 1. to do the things I need to because most of it is on me.

Sorry there is so much stress in your life Just keep thinking......

TRIP OF A LIFETIME​

This is bad........no alcohol can be served or purchased before noon on Sundays!

Silly rule

 

[O'BWV]

Okay Tina it looks like your still on for our TOAL! YAY!! Still I'm sorry for your stress.....how is Brooke handling it? And your DS too?

 

[Verandah Man]

Well, I did just invite you over for crepes! I don't think we can do both.

How about if the Ennas meet the Verandah Clan for brunch one day on the cruise? I hear Hazel is a real pip!

Consider it done!!!!!! Hazel is INDEED a pip, like one you have probably never seen before, right MR????????

Hazel wore the white gown last night to dinner that she wore to Formal Night on our last cruise. The ladies were calling her Sexy Mama all night. Of course Angelina and I got a kick out of that when she called and told us.

Hi Kathy, Thanks I needed to hear that from somebody. Brooke right now is going through and cleaning her room. I gave her 4 rules to go by which I think are good.

1. If you haven't used it, played with it , or worn it in the past 6 months then it goes into one of these categories.
A. Charity
B. Garage sale ( I hope to have a moving sale mabye in May ? )
c. Get's thrown out.

She is my helper & rock. Tomorrow I will file court papers and contact new school. I am holding off on a realtor till I get this house spotless. I know I don't have that much time.

The six month rule is a good one and one that I often use. As far as yard sales, get together with your neighbors and see if you can organize some sort of a block sale. We did two of them with 12 other families on the block. We split the cost of a newspaper ad and put signs up. It worked out really well. I was blown away by what some people will buy. In some cases we ended up buying each other stuff. Yea, I know, defeats the purpose. But I got the cutiest little table for $7.

Hang in there.

I'm so happy to hear that Hazel was the belle of the ball last night. Hope she had a wonderful birthday!

Ah Tina Sorry about the amount of stress you're going through right now. Am I incorrect in thinking you guys were going to move to Florida? Moving is the pits too.....hope the clearing out and packing and selling goes as smoothly as possible.

Are you still cruising the Repo? Sorry I'm confused by your post about that (you know I'm easily confused)

MR: Yes we had found a builder near Orlando. 2 things have changed our minds on this and I am thankful we didn't move forward. We want Brooke to stay in same high school for 4 years so not to disrupt her too much. After the recent tornadoes and so close to my Aunt, we decided Fla. wasn't for us. Also with 2 new ships coming in, we want to be a little bit closer to CA because we know we will continue to cruise DCL and believe the options might be a little better for cruising.

While we are in Chicago we will find a new builder & our dream house plans and plan to move again when Brooke is out of high school. Right now we are looking at Scottsdale AZ.

Do I try and plan too much ahead or what? When I wen't to see Chuck in Chicago all we did was talk and found the apartment. Now it's just hitting me it's a reality and YES we are going on this cruise !!!!!
