Hi Shawna!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

No kidding! That's awesome! But alas, not available to everyone. Pooh!

 

[staley7580]

I don't think either DH nor I would be willing to do that one. I actually don't know how good the AP rates might be for GCH, but DH really has his heart set on it. I'm hoping it will be less than heart-stopping.

I think with tax we paid $250 a night. For a park view room.

Hey alex, quick hi while I'm catching up but I got a postcard today in the mail for $149 for PP $159 for DLH and $259 for GCH through Dec 18 so there is a deal running now you just have to have the personal PIN for it.

Lucky girl!! I wish we had gotten one!

No but watch your mail as it might come. We JUST got ours today. too bad we arent able to use it though. I wish I could pass it on but I know the name and address has to match up with the PIN otherwise it would be YOURS.

I'm headed to bed. I've had a terribly emotional night with Morgan. I'll explain later. I'm too tired. Everything is ok now.

Have a good night everyone.

poor kid. Alex does that too.. Just breaks down when he is tired.

 

[staley7580]

OMG!! I just noticed!! 2 and a half months til you go to WDW!!!!!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

That would be cool! I think we've paid around $200 (give or take a bit) for the DLH, and I'm not sure DH realizes HOW MUCH MORE the GCH is. Hopefully he won't balk at a good deal. But even if he does, I'll still be happy to go!

Did you tell him how much it is? I have a feeling there will be some good deals coming out for fall. If attendance is down, they will do something to bring the crowds back.

No. He actually said he REALLY REALLY wants to stay there if we go near Christmas. I was so surprised! I don't know what made him think of it, except that I said I'd love to stay there someday.

Since we've never considered staying there before, I didn't really talk about their prices with him. He knows it's the most expensive onsite hotel though, so he knows it will be more than $200.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I better head off too. I need to finish the laundry.

Alex

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Good night, kids!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Good morning, hyenas!
Overcast today! There, caught you by surprise, didn't I?
It's supposed to be nice, though, and temps in low 70s, so I bet the clouds will burn off soon.

ALEX!! Did something happen between Susan and Roger??? Did I miss it??

I was thinking that at first, too. I missed last week's episode, and they started in right away this episode with him just appearing at Susan's house, and looking at her intently.

But they didn't talk about anything happening last week. They've always sort of mooned at each other. From the first episode I thought Roger was in love with Susan, and she just thought of him as a friend, but now I'm not so sure. Trina made a comment about Roger being so attractive underneath his clothes (pool party), and Susan agreed, looking longingly.

I think they are both attracted to one another but haven't ever said anything or acted on it. Susan loves her husband but isn't blind to his faults; and I think Roger gets tired of Janet sometimes but genuinely loves her. But I think they wonder if the grass is greener, you know?

Good Morning Ladies....Proctor Mom(PM) vs. Natural Mom (2Goofy) update....

Papers were filed yesterday. Attorney noticed one additional "technicality" mistake that PM's attorney forgot to do...In Oregon if a child is over the age of 14 and a party to a custody dispute, the child must also be served papers. Tyler was never served by PM! One more reason to throw it out! Doesn't matter that he can't read or understand them, no provision in the law for that. Oh and 2Goofy's attorney is serving everyone he can think of, especially my nephew in the military. That will help preserve his right to see his brother and allow the military attorneys to get more involved.

But, they will not know until the first of the week when the hearing to throw it out will be, hopefully soon. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

2Goofy got a call from the State caseworker from Salem. She once again was very apologetic and said please subpeona the State if you need to. We have lots of paperwork and never once over the last 8 years has she mentioned this "abuse/neglect". Right in the State's contract with everyone is the mention that the end goal is to return the child to the natural parent's home, that the placement is only because he can get more special services that way. Also, in 18 years that the Dept. of Disabilities has run this Proctor Program they have never had a proctor family try something like this. So, they are re-writing all of their contracts between state, natural parents & proctor families to include a new clause that proctor families will agree not to seek custody. They will also be asking the legislature in the fall to pass a new law regarding this program...no proctor parent will be able to seek custody of a child, they would have to work thru the state to determine abuse/neglect allegations against natural parents, then state would seek custody. Also the caseworker was very pleased with her choice of attorney's. Apparently the one that the county caseworker recommended is very good and is considered the top attorney in the state for mentally disabled people.

Anyway, yesterday PM got served (thru her attorney) and they are supposed to have a special process server to go to the home and serve papers to Tyler. He is a small elderly man that they often use for children, very nice, good with children and disabled people and doesn't scare them.

2Goofy made her nightly 6pm call, left messages asking to speak with Tyler and also to have visit. This time PM didn't return the call at all. Obviously she is shocked that 2Goofy filed papers against her (go figure!). Amazingly the papers say nothing bad at all about PM, only good things about my sister and that PM's paperwork is filed improperly. So there would be no reason for PM to be personally mad because 2Goofy said nothing bad about PM. But still no call. PM is digging her own grave deeper and deeper!

I'm trying to keep 2Goofy busy since we are now in the sit and wait phase. Last night we took her to the motocross races with us. It was their 42nd anniversary race at PIR, so lots of festivities. We left around 11pm and the races were only a little over halfway over!

So I get a brilliant idea! Why not take her somewhere for the weekend?? So I'm thinking about maybe going up to my in-laws on the coast. Only problem is I'm worried that walks on the beach and docks, etc. will give her too much time for thinking. Not only that I have a hair appt. at 9am on Sat. morning. So that's a long drive just for 1 day.

Now I really don't need to be neglecting my home anymore. We were gone 4th of July weekend. Then last weekend 2Goofy arrived and we went shopping Sat. and then all of the crazy mess happened Sun. My house will now have gone 3 weeks with minimal cleaning. Yes I know that family is more important, but my house is starting to gross me out. DS has had the same sheets on his bed for 2 weeks, dust is growing thicker by the day, laundry is getting piled up. I just can't live like that!! It's not gross dirty, we are doing dishes and other things. It's just not quite up to my standards I guess. So I really should stay home. Hey, maybe I can hand her a dust rag and that will keep her busy all weekend!
