We're inching along. Again. ​

Lovely pictures! I'm so glad everything turned out great!

More pictures please...when you get a chance that is.

Its on my to-do list for the weekend. It was a fabulous day, thank you.

Are you ready for WDW?​

Inching day by day is good some days go by faster than others.

I think this week went by at a snail's pace and the weekend flew by; more so than usual. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. Waaaahhhhh!!!!



But on a brighter note:

160 days!!! ​

Thanks friend. I didn't get to uploading the pictures from Joshua's big day.

She swears she doesn't look like me. ​

My weekend flew by too, it's not fair!

Are you working today?



My flights on the way there went up. I'm going to stop whining now I just had to get that out of my system. I really need to book. ​

 

[Pinkocto]

I did work yesterday, and today, and tomorrow no overtime this week though which is good, I need to relax.

Uh oh! I thought you had booked? I need to book the return flight and the hotel and I'm all set.

Hope you're enjoying your day off.


I haven't bought the way out, just the way home. I keep hoping for a price drop but I think it's wishful thinking. ​

Thank you

How's your week been?

How much are they? I did that same thing for my December trip and they kept going up. At least with SW you can get a credit if it drops after purchasing.

 

[Pinkocto]

Hi Jenny I hope life is treating you well

154 Days! ​

Hi Jenny I hope life is treating you well 154 Days!

Hi girl! Life's good, busy, Michael was gone from the 13-21 then again from 23-30 so I've been crazy solo parenting.

How are you? How is your weekend? for counting down. ​

True about SW. And if I use points, I'm only out the $5 and the points go back in to the point bank. I love Southwest.


I can't believe our first Disney Cruise is only 150+ days away! Joshua is so excited. I need to make sure the gifts I ordered made it over to the new reservation.


We may be going to So Cal over Chloe's birthday and Christmas. That would mean DISNEYLAND. Not sure yet but it's on the table. These last minute trips make a stay at GCV impossible but as of right now I the DLH is available so we'll see. The kids don't know and Chloe would flip. Michael is on board.​

​

Oh my, that sounds stressful. I hope you're able to squeeze in some you time

How are you? How is your weekend? for counting down.

I'm pretty good, trying to eat healthier and exercise regularly. I swore the next time I flew I'd have lost some weight, that was two flights ago and I really need to get a move on it. The weekend is good but flying by too fast!

the flexibility is so nice.

Just a little over 5 months! does Joshua know what he wants to do first? First cruise excitement is awesome.

Michael's on board? BOOK IT!!!!

That's cool! We would love to meet up (I speak for Fran without asking. ) But we're here and with no family since we get them for Thanksgiving but not Christmas this year. We would have gone to Vegas, but Fran wants to get some new cats.

Plus with the new house we don't need to be going away. We can't wait to move the neighbors in the apartments next to us are the worst that we have had in 17 years. The police come every other week. Right now they are having a Halloween party that is obnoxious beyond all git out. We hope that they are dragged out kicking and screaming. I need to go to bed, I hurt and I'm tired, and these people are obnoxious and annoying me!

I didn't realize that your neighbors now were so obnoxious. Hope the police shut down the party. I'm all about fun but only until a certain hour and then quiet for sleep is a must. I hope you got some rest friend.

I'm behind on everyone's threads , it's been crazy busy with M gone, but do you have an official move in date?

We'd love to meet up again, for longer than my last drive by with you, Fran, and Ellen this summer. We'll have no obligations while in CA so we'll be totally open. I'd love to take a peek at your new casa too if it works for you. I know M would too. I've shown him every photo, while drooling, lol! It's so gorgeous and we're so happy for you and Fran.

Still working on the details but there's a 60/40 chance right now. I like better odds but it's up to all mighty dollar at this point. The kids would only have to miss one day of school. I called the kennel and the dogs are scheduled. Cross your fingers for me.

No GCV means using lots of points for the DLH or staying with my girlfriend who is awesome. She's got plans already and works a crazy week up until Christmas Day but said we're more than welcome to stay there. You know I love staying on property and driving back and forth everyday doesn't sound great BUT I'll take my Disney Christmas fix anyway I can get it. They're dressing up the Jungle Cruise and making it the Jingle Cruise this year. I bet it's going to be darling!


Hope you are feeling better. I know you were sick last week. ​

Seems like just yesterday we were at 6 months.


Joshua is now totally opening up to having some independence while on the ship. He's grown up quite a bit these last couple of months. He said he's worried about *ditching* me though. I told him I'd be just fine. He's really so thoughtful and I reassured him that this trip is his bar mitzvah gift and he can do whatever he wants (within obvious reasonable limits) but that if he meets some fun kids to by all means chill with them. He felt better when I told him you'll be there. My words were: My DIS friend Pam. He's very happy I'll have a friend too. Love that kid!


Booking the DLH will put me well into the red points wise which is common so I want to make sure we can do it. He's been working a ton of Moho jobs lately which is great. I also want to make sure he's in town which he should be because most of these companies don't schedule over major holidays. He was off from the FD Dec 23-26 but we just found out he'll have to work the 24th. They do this so one crew doesn't have to work both Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. I get it but it does throw a little wrench into it. Hopefully there is a nice single firefighter who won't mind working. <------ me praying. LOL!

Chloe's bday is the 20th so tentatively we'd leave 12/19, stay in Vegas overnight. Arrive in So Cal 12/20 but maybe not do the parks that day. We'd have the 21-24 to do the parks, visit with A&F a few times, and then we'd leave Christmas Day. As of right now, I work the 26-27 but I'm working on that.​

He's so sweet! Worried about his mama Why aren't all kids like him? Has he decided what he wants to do on Cozumel? You guys are going to make such wonderful memories on this trip. Is he ok with me sitting with you at dinners?

Wow, both your schedules make for a tight holiday. I hope you're able to make it work

That would be such a fabulous surprise! I hope you're able to figure out the work situation. That's one thing I absolutely hate about healthcare, I want to be home during the holidays!
