Hi Peeps ... missed a lot AGAIN ....
Hope everyone had a good weekend! Thank you for all the Bree birthday wishes...she enjoyed them
mama linda-grumpy my birth mother was here yesterday...guess now that she is widowed (again

) she misses her grandkids....ugh. sorry to sound so cold. BUT much love for my adopted Moms here!!! You ladies are the bestest
Pas ... you are amazing mom and friend, your birth mother is losing out so much on everything.

Very happy the Bree had a wonderful Bday, and have to agree with Christine ... no Bday pix to share???
I
pas, my Mother has done some mean things, most recently to my sister but has hurt us terribly over the years. I honestly think she shouldn't have had children.
That being said the only thing to do is to turn it around and love our children more. You are a wonderful mother and letting your birth mother see your children is a kind gesture...but know you can always come to us to vent
So perfectly stated
Sarah
Very sorry that your Mom wasn't a mom to you or your sis... just in name only ... It's made you and Pas both incredible Moms yourselves, wanting to be sure your children would always have the caring, comfort and love that a Mom brings ....
My mother should absolutely have NOT had children. BUT I am grateful she did, as I have a wonderful family and A GREAT LIFE! (after I turned 17, LOL) And I definitely think at LEAST a later flight on the 28th if not an extra day!!!!
Pas.. WE are SO grateful too that you Mom had you.
No sorry I won't be there .... REALLY WISH I COULD. I'll be there from Oct 14th - 26th. That silly Chicago bride just won't change her wedding date to work around my WDW plans!
Hmmm, Linda, how 'bout doing Disney BEFORE the Wedding in October??? Just a thought ...
Welllllll.....it didn't take TOO much convincing to win me over!! Disney World here I come to celebrate HRH's birthday!!!

Of course, hoping Dani will come that weekend, JC can extend, GG - will you be there too???
And who else? Janet, can you change your weekend by chance?
Well, I'm late to this party ... and now Christine you can't go??? Oh, wish some pixie dust would hit Mia's boss right in the face and she would magically become HUMAN!!
Well, .... I'm first always a DC (date changer) so ya never know!!
[/B]
YEAH! More friends to meet!

that would be wonderful!
As for the HULK, PAS....that ride is MY FAVOURITE ride ever!!! to think I was a ride weenie in 2008....and I graduated to doing the HULK, Dueling Dragons, Rip Ride Rockit, Forbidden Journey....all of the things I used to be terrified of, and I had fun!!!!
I am still a little afraid of forbidden journey due to the stuff that "jumps out at you"....I don't like being startled in the dark...but the HULK, I could ride it over and over all day!!
Marie, I love Forbidden Journey, didn't get to ridge Dueling Dragons (it was down half the time we were there, then the rain hit, and the last day, was going to do it, but the ride opened again right after we ate in the 3 broomsticks. NO WAY! I have to do rollercoasters on mostly an empty stomach.
So here I sit this morning pricing out a WDW trip for Sept 28 - Oct 1st!

If it wasn't for that darn airfare from the west coast it would be a no brainer! I'm sure there will be a good discount for rooms and I already have my ap.
Can you believe at one time I had that time booked with free dining?
Ummm, Linda, isn't the FD still available for booking thru 5/18??? Just sayin'
I just needed something cheerful today. Yesterday my DD and I decided that it would really be best for us to just not have a relationship ... it's been a long rough road. I'm not sure how this will work with my relationship with my grandkids. This is not the DD that I visit in So Cal ... she is my best friend. Okay no more pity party ....
Linda, I am so sorry ... perhaps your DD will recognize that her kids need their grandmother ...and will be missing SO much without you and your DH. Don't know what to say ... just that we are here and to echo Pas, you got a family in PA too. (we can be sisters, but you are the older one, right??

) My kids can use a nice young Grandmother too!!
Luv: Have to head over and check out your TR!
