Hi guys! Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers. We survived the wake and funeral but now most of us are sick with a cold. DH, DD12 and DS9 are all sniffling, sneezing and coughing. DD12 did one of the readings at the mass, she got a bit teary and had to pause once but I was so proud of how she did. DS9 and DD8 did the petitions and did a great job too. DH did a eulogy and it was touching with a bit of humor thrown in. Some of DHs relatives from the east coast came in and it was nice to see them and visit. Now begins the getting used to the reality of the loss, the toughest part I think.
Tiggerrn - Happy Birthday and have a GREAT trip!!
paint - will definitely have your DSis in my prayers Wed and after. Sincerely hope all goes well.
slo - your birthday sounded wonderful, what a great hubby to surprise you and especially with the Mickey cake.
Well, I think I might try to lay down for a bit. Also need to get things sorted around here, kind of looks like a bomb went off in here! Hope everyone is getting to enjoy this nice day, it sure it beautiful outside!

ID Small steps. Surviving family at the services is a plus 
.I hope everyone feels better from their colds. I usually get sick when I am under stress.
It is such a beautiful day out there I hope we can at least keep our temps in the 50's.

I'm feeling very poopy this morning.
I got some kind of upper respitory thing going on, and I barely slept last night. I fell asleep great, but then I woke up at 12:30am, and never really fell back asleep. When I did finally doze off, Kevin's FD pager went off, and rewoke me up
This is not a good day to feel this way, because this is my long day - Leads Group at 7:20am, and then I work until 7:00pm. I have a feeling that I'm going to go to bed kinda early tonight
paint - I will absolutly keep your sister in my thoughts and prayers!!! Please keep us posted on how she is doing
momto1 and Bunchkin -
ID - I hope you all feel better soon
**I'm proud of your family too - what they did is very very difficult. I did my Grandma's eulogy, and it was one of the most difficult things I had ever done, because I loved her so much.
Mac - thanks for the listings!!!!
HERSEY - I get sick when I am under stress too
Well, I gotta go get ready for this long day
Have a good day today everyone!!!

Good morning everyone!
We have about 2 1/2 weeks until we leave and I'm stressing a little bit. The last time we went, our girls were a bit younger - it was Jan 2007 - so I didn't do much pre-planning for them. This time I'm making autograph books, shirts, countdown chains for the mileage on the trip, trip journals and whatever else I can find on Disigns that I think they might like. I'm about half way there I think- I'll have to check my to do list. But I hate having things hang over my head even if they are fun Disney things.
Slo- Sorry to hear you're sick and hope you're feeling better.
Paint- Prayers for your sister. My sister is having neck/back surgery on Thursday. They are doing something with her discs. Not as serious as your sister, but I hope they both do just fine!
Tiggern- Happy Birthday!
ID- I'm so sorry for your loss and amazed at the strength of your family.

I feel like I'm running 10 feet behind everyone trying to catch up. LOL!!
Happy Birthday to everyone!!
Gotta head into the city today for a conference. Was going to take the train, but I've changed my mind and am going to drive it. Heading for the Hyatt McCormick Place. I figured by the time I take the train, then jump a cab to take me south of I-55, it's probably just as cheap to drive it.

Morning! Thanks for all of the thoughts, prayers, pd for my dsis. We are at the hospital now! Surgery is scheduled for 8 and should be done by 11. I came up last night and we all went out for dinner, which was very nice. Anyway, hoping the next few hours go by smoothly!

I love Nyquil!!!!
I took my recommended dose, and climbed into bed at 8:50pm, and was asleep by 9:30pm, and I slept all night!!!!
I'm hoping to feel a little better today, because I hate it when I have upper respiratory issues 
erika - Put out a brown paper bag for each girl, and put things into it as you think of it - this way you won't forget something when you are rushing to pack. I do this every year, about a month before we leave, and it really helps. My DH and I put one out too
**I will keep your sister in my prayers for a successful surgery. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.
To everyone else - HERSEY's bday is tomorrow
I'm off and running!!!

Hi gang! We sure have a lot of birthdays here this week!
Happy Belated Birthday to Kim! Happy Birthday a day early to Hersey! Where do you all get those cute birthday clips?
Slo - Glad you are feeling better!
Paint - Update us on your sis's surgery when you get a chance! It should almost be over now.
Erika - Prayers for your sister and her medical team, too. Hope all goes well. Your trip will be here soon. Don't stress to much over the packing!
DG - where are you? How was the wedding last weekend?
Jon is trying out for the boys basketball team today. He didn't make it last year but made it to the last round of cuts. Today is the last round of cuts for this year. He doesn't spend much time working on basketball skills since baseball is his life. I don't think he will make it but at least he is trying!
Back to work! Enjoy this fine day. It might be the last one for awhile.

Ugh! I had made autograph books for my girls and took them to staples to bind them. They screwed them up! Not so bad that they are unusable or that the girls will notice, but I KNOW. They aren't how I wanted. 
Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for my sister.
I'm slowly getting through my to do list in my PTR. Packing isn't as big of a deal, it is more getting the odds and ends done before we go.
Slo- That's a great idea. I have a big bin in my garage that I use like the bags. Everything that isn't used now goes in there. Or my little surprises for them- like the princess necklaces that tinkerbell is leaving daily, etc.
Lori- good luck to Jon!

Hey everyone! The surgery is over. It went well. They were able to sew the hole shut and didn't need a patch (which is good). She will have a small scar, just a few inches, under one of the "girls" so it won't even be seen! We are waiting for her to wake up a bit before we are allowed to see her. then, we are going to head to the 'burbs, then I will head home. I feel awake now, but I had 3 hours of sleep! Long day! Oh well. The surgery is over! Thanks for the of the good vibes, Dis friends!
Erika- Thoughts and prayers for your sis, too!
