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

[winkers]

AHhhh, Cherie's back in full stride!!! Great update; I'm laughing hysterically!!

but then again, you know me by now....

all it takes is poop, farts and a little pixie dust!

Poop and restrooms.....ahhhh something I can get behind....

cool....that'll be my campaign slogan when I run for office.

Very funny update. As a mom of a 9-year-old who still likes us to wipe when it is messy and there are no cottonelle around... I can appreciate it!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a child like that. My family has given me alot of grief over my son with the self wiping deficiency.

you paint such an expressive story!! ove it!!LOL!

and the picture is poo brown....

sorry, that was really bad even by my standards, but I could'nt help myself.

Poop everlasting......EEWWWW!!! This installment= too funny!

I've noticed something about vacations...the first couple of days go by fairly slowly then you get to half way through and all of a sudden it's your last day. It feels like that to me no matter where we go, but at Disney it's magnified.

My husband calls this the "flip" day - when you go from saying "we still have 5 more days to do all the stuff we wanted to do" to "OMG we are leaving in four days!" I think it happens mostly at places you have been to before, or maybe resorts in general. I'm thinking that it didn't happen on our European trips. But we go to Jamaica almost every year, usually Saturday to Saturday, which means that we wake up on Wednesday and Tony says, "it's flip day." We still have not taken a sunfish out sailing in Jamaica. Somehow we manage to spend all week lying on the beach and drinking.

that's a great word for it!

Oh my gosh, I'm laughing so hard! That was a fantastic update! But now I'm anxious to see if you get there in time to enjoy Fantasy Land...

 

[bedillamouse]

great update!! I have 2 girls and I'm scared witless about the teenage years...they are 2 years apart so I'll have two teenage girls running around... It just isn't going to be pretty I know it! My oldest didn't want to wipe herself....I finally said at age 5 you're doing it and I won't....there were a few times where she sat on the pot for a LONG time to test me and see if I would wipe her....She learned that it isn't fun to sit too long as you become numb. I had to finally put my foot down cuz with the younger one still in diapers I felt all I did was wipe bottoms all day. Now my youngest is 3 and still wearing diapers for the most part....she is so dang stubborn!! I hope she will be potty trained by kindergarten but some days I have my doubts!

thank you!
who knew so many "adults" would find poop so funny?

: Now my youngest is 3 and still wearing diapers for the most part....she is so dang stubborn!! I hope she will be potty trained by kindergarten but some days I have my doubts!

If she still isn't potty trained by kindergarten, then you've got bigger things to worry about.

I tried to push my oldest into potty training and it just made it worse. With the others I encouraged but didn't let it get to me.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Oh My! look what I've missed out on. You never know what you'll find in a Winkers TR!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

 

[Tribilín]

LOL! Now that's what I call an in deep update! You don't leave any details out

It was 8 by the time I finally herded everyone down for breakfast. I probably looked like I was having a seizure because I was trying to contain my twitches and irritation at being way behind my schedule. The twitching was caused mostly by MIL who couldn't just order something that could be used with the ddp...noooo....I can't even remember what she wanted but it was ridiculous. I was about to snap so I left her in line .

Arrrrgghhh! I really really hate when people just keep wasting precious time in silly stuff, just take whatever everybody else is eating and be done!

Just like in my 2nd visit to the World, my sister would take hours deciding what to eat, and when she arrived to the table she would complain (almost crying) that she didn't get what she wanted... SO we waited hours for you and you are still not satisfied with your food???!!

that would drive me insane too! Sounds like she's a little "high maintence".

You have no idea and if she found something she liked she would wolf it down and then be depressed for the rest of the day because she "will get fat"... you can imagine that trip was like vacationing with Eeyore

Hey Winkers, Just checking in to see if there's more pixie poop action over here.

I already know you had a great Thanksgiving, BBQ and all. So, I'll wish you a wonderful weekend. May you have peace in the potty amidst remodelling chaos.

 

[JenAusty]

I also hate last days. I think it feels like they are slow- because you know you have soo many day ahead of you. So you tend to relax more but then when it gets to the end of the trip- or even the middle you start counting down the days and it seems to go by fast.

After Ethan's deposit was made we hurried out to catch the bus. I was trying really super hard to calm down and not be frustrated by the poop delay and MIL's irritating behavior. So I sat and snuggled my little poopmeister because he still had a slight fever and wasn't feeling great.

We made it to MK just after park opening which made me feel alot better. My goal for the day was to do Fantasy land and a few other things, before our dinner adr.

First on my list was to find the time for the pirate tutorial....this is a favorite of the boys....and I kinda enjoy it too.
I looked at the times guide but it wasn't listed. I hadn't heard of it being canceled so I was a little confused.
I happened to spy a cm a few feet away so I went to ask about it.

Turns out she was an executive from the entertainment department. She was full of all sorts of information and told me about the new area being made in adventure land. She said there would be a table service restraunt with characters and a few other things geared towards boys.

We had a few hours before the first tutorial so we headed for fantasy land.

We went on a rede through the land of evil stepmothers, flew over London and rode around in a circle on our horses.

We made a short stop in Lyberty square on the way to adventureland..

Earlier in the trip the kids had given me a little grief over all the characters I want pictures with. I understand them not wanting to wait in a line that doesn't lead to ride, but it still was frustrating to me.
The character meeting is part of what makes it so magical for me.

When I was young and watching winnie the pooh, cinderella and all the other classics, I never would have believed that I'd actually get to MEET them. So, when I do I feel like a kids again.

Being the awesome husband he is, he declared that morning that we would be stopping for any and all characters that I wanted to see. He gave them a little lecture about the whole thing and they were going to enjoy it. I was a woman on a mission to see some characters.

True to form, MIL had her ginormous purse along with her...this would lead to alot of on my and d.jay's part. It even drove the kids crazy a few times too.
I honestly don't know anyone else who carries as much crap around with her, all the time. I'm a little scared to even know what's in it. She was also lugging around a huge water bottle and a bottle of orange juice with about one and half swallows worth left.

We were still awhile away from seeing my boyfriend....I mean Capt. Jack. the kids wanted to ride POTC. MIL and D.Jay went along wtih them while I sat on a bench and propped my throbbing and swollen foot up.
Just thinking about that pain makes the month of bedrest and pain after seem worth it.

Evan gave me the back pack to hold. As we were talking MIL walked over and plopped her bag on my lapand said "hold this".

It wasn't keeping track of it while they were on the ride that made me want to strangle her with it....It was the lack of common decency. A little "please and thank you" goes a long way with me.

I could tell my week with her was putting my sanity into question because I wanted to smack her upside the head with her Mary Poppins bag.
I sat on there telling myself to breathe...finally those Lamaze classes came in handy.

Ok, so I had visions of putting her in the stocks back in Liberty square. That made me smile.

A few minutes before my crew made it back from POTC, I spied Capt. Hook and Smee.
D.Jay's encouragment worked because I didn't hear one grumble or see one roll of an eye when we headed in their direction.
I was starting to think that someone was having fun with me in an effort to see how far I could be pushed before I snapped. I wouldn't have been one bit surprised if a shrub yelled out "you're on candid camera".

MIL just headed for Capt. Hook without taking her magical bag of crap.
D.Jay happened to see it and called her back to get her MBOC. He had mentioned to her that if she wanted to carry the MBOC all day that was fine but our kids weren't her pack donkeys.
Obviously, being the beast that I am, she mistook me for a pack mule. All week she had been trying to make the kids carry it for her.
So much for my earlier lamaze session.

We tried to sell her to Capt. Hook but he was worried the MBOC would sink his ship.

We met up with a lesson from Capt. Jack and Hunter was picked to help!

Hunter attempted to fool Capt. Jack by yelling "Look over there"! He is such a ham!

After the pirate lesson we stopped for the 9th, yes 9, potty break of the morning. Every time I blinked , Hunter had to pee. I was seriously debating the pro's and con's of a catheter.

After the pitt stop we headed for BTMR. MIL and I ended up in the same car, when the bar came down it was about 1/2 an inch from her.
She then loudly announced she should have ridden with Hunter so there wouldn't be a huge gap between the bar and her lap.

As we were exiting she told everyone that she had been scared the entire ride because she kept almost flying out of the seat because the bar wouldn't go down all the way because of me. And she didn't just say it once, she repeated as loud as she could without actually shouting.

As I attempted to dust off my freshly stomped on self esteem, we headed to Casey's for lunch.
On the walk back to main street, I fantasized about feeding her to the canibals on the Jungle Cruise.


up next.....bringing cheap to a new level.

 

[jordanyosh]
