A DISmeet here..a DISmeet there..Our August Southern Tour- Final Posts - #544!

[addictedtonostalgia]

The final countdown has begun! I know my ticker says 6 days, but its really 5 days, I never changed it when I switched our airline tickets to fly out Thursday night.

going to work on and pack everything I can over the weekend, have a couple get togethers to plan for our time in Atlanta, call the golf courses we are visiting on Monday to see if they will "allow" us on and get all my batteries charged! and my most favorite thing in the world to do CLEAN HOUSE can't leave a dirty house while I'm gone.

running a couple errands today and watch the Olympics between to do list!

have a wonderful weekend!

How very exciting!
Will you be doing "live" updates, or just update when you get back from the trip? Enjoy cleaning your house! Watching the Olympics at some points here today too. So fun! I'm actually at my parent's house and having an old high school friend sleepover...we'll see how well they sleep tonight!

Hope you and Megan have a great weekend!

WHOO-Hoo!!! I am so excited that you have a trip booked for next year!!! Maybe I'll skip the Spring break trip and try for the holiday... I've always wanted to go then... Sigh - if I could just make up my mind?

just got an email from Megan's dance teacher....we have dates for the performance in DLR

March 2 - 4th! looks like we get to go to DLR twice that month going for Megan's 13th bday during spring break too!

How fun will that be!!!!

So exciting, congratulations again to Megan!
What a fun birthday month, two trips to Disneyland! I'm guessing we have close birthdays, mine is the 20th. I guess becoming a teenager does deserve a two trips to Disneyland.

Can't wait to see the TRs! Will you take any pictures of their performance, or no because of privacy issues with the other girls? I'd love to at least see her costume(s), that was my favorite part of dance!

**EDIT** Here's a picture of little Meredith in one of her ballet costumes!

Oh Meredith, you are adorable! Do you still dance?

How fun will that be!!!!

WOOHOO! Whoops quoted the wrong one! I really hope we stay at Art of Animation on our next trip (whenever that is), I think I've convinced my dad at least...

Can't wait to see all the pictures!

How fun will that be!!!!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO -- that's a perfect time of the year to go

No, I wound up only dancing in third and fourth grade then had to give it up...I have a poor inner ear and get dizzy very easily (as well as motion sick), so the turns got to be too much. Oh well, I moved on to horseback riding, loved that! I haven't gotten to ride since I started college for a combination of reason but I will get back there...

I mentioned something about your kidney problem in Judy's thread but I think you missed it? I just wanted to say that I am so sorry you have an undiagnosed problem. I truly believe that having no diagnosis is the worst. Getting the diagnosis really provides a sense of relief. Is there still a chance they might figure it out?

 

[mommy2mrb]

didn't get as much done yesterday as I had planned....got a wicked headache and my allergies flared up....Megan started complaining about a tummy ache and ran a little fever 99.5 but feels cooler this morning I'm feeling a bit run over from my headache but think its gone

need to finish cleaning house and packing today!

 

[mommy2mrb]

[addictedtonostalgia]

Congratulations, they must be so adorable!!

Just out of curiosity, how do you pronounce that last name?

 

[mommy2mrb]

thanks Kathy and Mededith!


I am just guessing Maaaarii long A's and its not a typo 2 a's and 2 i's from what my mom told me...

a little back story this is my dad's DD from a previous marriage before my mom and we are not all that close to them, I haven't even seen or talked to them since my dad died in 2003.

Meredith -- I'm c/p this from D's trip report b/c I just posted over there since she inquired:

Kidney issue started 3 years ago -- blood in my urine, no UTI, no back pain. Blood never went away so was sent for a CT. No kidney stones so was sent to the urologist to r/o bladder cancer (which I was told I likely had if kidney stones were ruled out). In the mean time, 3 months went by b/f I got the referral to the urologist -- they made me pee in a strainer for two months b/f doing the ct scan and then after the ct scan it took another month to get a f/u appt (military care is like socialized medicine). So finally, I get to the urologist and he knew how worried I was and did my cystoscopy on the same day of my consult -- he was wonderful! No bladder cancer but no diagnosis other than idiopathic blood in urine In the past few months I started getting intermittent back pain -- one day it was really severe. My sister gets kidney stones ALL the time -- she finally had a huge work up and it was found she doesn't absorb calcium and something else and got put on two new meds. They believe it is genetic (though there is no other family hx) so my sister and I figure I must have kidney stones, though I never have any pain urinating and it's supposed to hurt when you pee them out (if you are able to -- she always has to have hers zapped). Aren't you glad you asked

I hope you are feeling better. It's bimonthly h/a time for me too, though since I stopped bc the h/a's are controllable with excedrin and I can function.

Thank you for the answer! Don't you love how long it takes to get tests done---NOT! Sorry they made you wait three months with the possibility of a cancer diagnosis hanging over your head. So you think you may have kidney stones? YIKES! Those are no fun Sorry your sister has such troubles too. Do you still have blood? I can kind of relate, I've had a cystoscopy to diagnose my interstitial cystitis, which gives me plenty of bladder pain. I also can't absorb B-12, is that one of your sister's deficiencies? Throwing this out there, you probably have a disease they haven't cared enough to research and classify. That's how it is out there, I'm a bio major and spend a lot of time in medical environments for health reasons...If it isn't common or can't kill ya research just doesn't get the funding...

Congrats on becoming an aunt to 3 at once.

A Thanksgiving trip sounds like fun. OK, you will have to remind me of the order of your trips:

DL in March of 2013 for spring break and the dance competition. Then to WDW in Nov of 2013??

It is hard for me to get my mind wrapped around 2013....

 

[lovethattink]

Lisa, congrats on the triplets, Auntie! That is going to be one busy Mama!

Hope you and Megan feel better soon.

Your trip is approaching quickly!
