As God as my witness.I'll never be sick at Disney World again~~~wrapping things up...

[winkers]

Thanks everyone for your prayers and support!
I had a few good crying sessions last night and today so I'm feeling a little better. I tend to hold it all inside untill I can't stand it anymore and then I bawl for hours. I come from a long line of women with the maryter syndrome.:
Having surgery realy freaks me out because my mom never woke up after her last surgery. It's a totaly irrational fear....I get that logicaly but it still terrifies me. So if I seem a mess between now and whenever the pain killers wear off, you'll know why.

Great photos and you're so not shaped like that hamster!!!!!

Looks like you had some great interaction, well from one of them anyway

How sweet of your DH to buy you the figurine, any photos?

What a great update! I'm so glad you guys were able to experience some great character interaction!!

Awww to the precious moments Belle that is just way too sweet!!!!!!

I'm so glad you got the figurine! I want one too!! Rhino looks fun (not so much Bolt though). Bailee's expression is priceless!

When Cherie shows interest in something and it's a "gotta make it happen Kodak moment," I try to make it happen. In this case, I knew Cherie fell in love with that particular figurine by her facial expression, the way she gingerly touched it (a "my precious" moment), and the huge inhale of air followed by "Hey Deeg. Look at this!!!" What can I do? The time and place were correct. I wasn't going to let a "he needs to get you a new ring" moment pass me by again.
For those of you who don't know, when Cherie and I went to DW the first time on our own, we went to see the princesses and take pictures. As we approached Aurora, she saw Cherie's ring, asked how long we were married, and suggested I get her a new ring. Unbeknownst to her and Aurora, in our room at POP, I had a new ring I was going to give Cherie at DW, I was just waiting for the right moment. The problem was the ring was still at the resort, not in my hand. A perfect moment wasted.

So, short story long, I try not to miss those moments anymore. So far I seem to be batting 1000 on that level.

Cherie, you are NOT shaped like the rodent! Great update - loved the light sabre moment.

Peed on costume -

DJay, how sweet and attentive you are!

Awwwwwwwww that is soo sweet. Even though you didn't have the ring it still gave me chills when I read it. Did you give it to her that night?

Yes, I gave her the ring when we got to the resort.

OK. Picture time. Here's the picture of Belle and the Beast. This is the one she fell in love with.

And here's the one I got her for her birthday this year.

As I have said before, I will not pass up that "you need another ring" moment again.

So sorry to hear about your aunt Cherie. And I hope everything goes smoothly with your surgery.

 

[lisalonglash]

I meant to have an update today, but I just couldn't get myself in the right mood to write.
I came home from camp to news that my aunt has breast cancer that has spread through her lymphnodes to most of her body. So, my mind has been a little preoccupied.
Usually if I have a few days of feeling awful and having a pity party I can cope.
Next week after my foot surgery I'll probably have several funny things to say from all the pain killers.

thanks carrisa!

thanks!



It's funny how we learn some of life's lessons along the way. I've spent the past week mumbling about my towns total lack of Independence day spirit. And to add insult to injury the city banned all fireworks. Of all the stupid things to be irritated with.....I picked it as the bee in my bonnet.
So, last night we packed up the kids plus 1 (bailie's friend) and drove 90 minutes to the Grand coulee dam for the lazer light show and fireworks.
It put me in a better mood, and I was able to feel the 4th of july "spirit".

You're probably wondering where I'm going with this......well today at church I learned that friends of ours house burned completley to the ground along with their cars. See, they live in the county, only about 5 miles from us but to my mind a few days ago they were lucky because they could still do all the fireworks they wanted.

Thankfully, they and their children were all out of the house so no one was hurt, but it really made me stop and think about what's important.

 

[JenAusty]

wow.. that sucks about the house and cars- I'm glad to hear they are ok. I hope everything turns out for them. I love fireworks and I would definitely go somewhere else to! How were the fireworks you seen?! Mine were ok this year.. its prob cause I'm comparing them to disney! hehe

During the fireworks I looked at D.Jay and said "disney has ruined us for other firework shows".

 

[GeminiAngel]

Wow Cherie. You are having a rough go of things right now. Prayers to your Aunt. Prayers to you for your surgery. And prayers to your friends who lost their home.

thank you!

 

[Pinkpony]

So sorry about your aunt and your friends' house.

Hope your surgery goes well and you get lots of those little painkiller pills.

[NotSoEvilStepmother]

I'm sending lots of prayers to you, your family, and your friends, Cherie.

 

[winkers]

I'm alive!

The surgery went great, now I'm tring to survive the pain. I didn't know how big a foot could swell!
I took a before picture and after I get this first wrap off on monday, I'll post the "after". I'm sure you're all excited about that!

I'm not sure when I'll get another post up........my pain was so bad that they put me on morphine and that messes with my mind, but it makes the pain bareable.

I've missed all of you! It's funny how much I miss everyone here...

 

[NWOhioAngela]

I'm not sure when I'll get another post up........my pain was so bad that they put me on morphine and that messes with my mind, but it makes the pain bareable.

So glad you're doing okay. Rest up--we'll be here when you're ready. But, if you have the desire to to post while on morphine, we might find that real entertaining too. Your call

 

[MRYPPNS]

Feel better soon!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Feel better soon! We miss you!

 

[vamassey1]

You're so brave! I'm glad the worse part is over and now you can mend. Take it easy and enjoy those meds while you can.

 

[BrandyC1974]

Ok, let's get this puppy rolling.......................

I can't believe I've been home for 12 depressing, disney devoid days. Yeah, I'm in a great mood. Once we were home it was back to the reality of D.Jay being jobles, no income and no more trips in the forseeable future.....Oops, I'm getting ahead of myself. This is sopposed to start at the beginning, right?
I guess I could break with tradition and go from the ending to the beginning, I tend to read magazines that way, but I'm not much of a rule breaker.

I 'm not quite ready to start the first day, gotta upload 5,001 pictures to photobucket, so I'll give you a little sneak peek of what's to come.

During the trip I jotted down different ideas for the Trip Report title. Here they are in no particular order....................



Please keep your hands, arms, & legs inside the ride at all times...with only one set of cheeks showing.

What's more painfull....Brazilian tourist groups or waxes?

Cheerleaders are like mice........if you see 1, you know there's 20 more lurking around the corner

Conquering the world........one bathroom at a time.


As God as my witness, I'll never take my mother in law on vacation again!

Blisters, Beatles & Backaches

Hey!!! Who turned off the sun?

Hi. I just started reading your trip report. But, I just had to reply to your possible report titles: Conquering the world........one bathroom at a time. This one could have been my report title. I think we visited every bathroom. On our second EPCOT day, we were just concentrating on the World Showcase. I told my brother that my group was going to visit the WS seperate from his because I wasn't doing a "Tour of World Showcase Bathrooms".

alright, now I'm going to go back and read more of your report (replaying as needed!).

good point!

Feel better soon!

thanks!

Feel better soon! We miss you!

I miss you too!

brave, I am not.
I nearly faint just having the iv put in............

. I told my brother that my group was going to visit the WS seperate from his because I wasn't doing a "Tour of World Showcase Bathrooms".

alright, now I'm going to go back and read more of your report (replaying as needed!).

Welcome!! It's always fun to have new readers!

I think disney should do a bathroom tour.......there are several of us who could give the tour blindfolded!

I'm really slow, so you should be able to catch up fast!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Cherie, I hope you are feeling better very soon, I can't wait to see your foot!

 

[reelmom]

I hope that you are feeling better today. Can't wait to see the picture of your foot. Yeah...............I need a life
