Oh man that stinks!

I know what you mean. I don't have any younger kids but EVERY morning is like pulling teeth. I get the girls up at 5 because my oldest has to leave the house at 10 to 7 to get to school and I just wake them both up because otherwise the older one gets mad that the younger one is sleeping in and plus they just lolly gag around all morning.

I go in and wake them up and have to keep going back in cuz they just lay there and it takes forever for them just to get dressed and brush their teeth/hair etc.

I qualified for the free meals at school now so they don't even have to eat first and no more lunches to be made but Shelby still is supposed to practice her piano and that is like pulling teeth too LOL.

I don't know WHAT is going to happen next week when I go to work. I have been working out again and I figured I am going to have to get up at 4 now to get in a workout before I leave. I have to leave the house by 6 to get to work at 7. I am going to be one tired puppy!

Here's hoping the little ones take a nap for ya!! Maybe by getting woke up so early they will need one!!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Wow, 6:30? It's bad enough having two kids you gotta rush through the morning routine to get to school... Two more underfoot and cranky must be a barrel of fun!

I gotta finish drying and do some shopping today.

And it's sunny!

 

[staley7580]

I dont do the morning routine. I know that makes me rotten. But Julie gets the kids up, I brush hair, make sure everyone has pants on and washes faces... brushes teeth... coats and backpacks... then off to school. They eat at school... thank goodness. I woud be a hot mess if I had to feed them.

On a side note.. Jasmine took aff the princess dress for the first time since ummmmmm... Saturday. And bath time. She takes it off for bath time, obviously. But then its right back on. However.. she has been dressless for about the last 20 minutes or so.

 

[staley7580]

Sun?? Ugh.. blinding orb outside window... GO AWAY. clouds. thats the stuff..

4am??? No thank you. Ill stay fat. I am so not a morning person. I blame the children. I used to just bounce out of bed. Not so much anymore.


Dh wants me to get an AP when I go to DL in feb. He is taking me on a momma-daddy only trip to DL in June!! He called his step mom.. Julies mom.. and asked that when she comes for Julies graduation if she can watch the kids for a few days, and she said yes! So... 4 days at Disneyland! We are doing it on the cheap, since I am going in Feb. and we are going to be shelling out a chunk of dough on something we really dont need... but want.

So IM excited. It should be fun. Its gonna be our fist time alone together... you know.. EVER..

Bow chika wow wow



Oh yes you NEED that alone time together! Enjoy every minute of it
Too many couples don't take time to be together, kids grow up and you don't really know your spouse any more.



Getting kids up? Heck no! I'm sleeping when they go, then again.. mine don't really need help now.
We went to bed a little earlier last night, so I could wake up before 9 this morning to go swim. It was a grumbly, yawning morning - once I got in the pool and swam a lap I started to wake up n loosen up. Now Eloy is sleeping thru dialysis and here I am!

Hello Ladies,

I have hip hop class tonight! I am so stoked! I love this class and the teacher is by far the best one I have had. I've tried different places and am really happy with this one. It's quite the workout and makes me sweat more than when I am at the gym! I love it!

Alex- I am so not used to being called Pixster. I was talking to Sarah about that when I saw her recently and we were laughing. I made some other Disney friends and they call me by a different name. I'm so used to that other name now but I prefer if they just call me Chelle. It's easier. lol. Glad to see you are doing well.

RIGHT!!!! Im so excited. I had a total meltdown over the summer... I think the stress of everything finally got to me and I lost it on him. I think he is doing everything he can to make me happy right now. Anything Ive ever mentioned doing... he is getting it done. Now I get what Ive wanted for SO long.. A weekend away with him.. and BONUS!! A motorcycle.

 

[funnygarcia]

okay- so what days is everyone planning to stay/leave?
Thursday to Sunday?
Thursday to Monday?
I'm open to whatever, but if everyone is leaving Sunday - then I will too if there is a later flight.

I typically have a transfer in the middle, the joys of living in MN. We have Delta as a hub (typically more expensive) and Sun Country is based here (they have limited flight destinations). I actually prefer having that little rest stop in between to stretch the legs.. plus it's always cheaper than a nonstop. Because of this, I've visited quite a few airports over the years some are better than others. Midway/Chicago has those weird toilet seat cover changing machines when you flush-- ewwww. They were filming a movie at LAX once. I got super dizzy landing in Denver - bonus is lots of cute guys in ski clothes. St Louis was very crowded and kinda gross looking. Las Vegas at least has entertainment-- gamble while you wait.

Personally, LAX is not that bad. It may be big and lots of people.. but the security lines go really fast. Though it is a pain to take that long long shuttle ride to Anaheim. Stopping at a bunch of houses and other hotels along the way- ugh! SNA needs to make their security lines go faster, organize it better or something. I remember waiting in line for 40 minutes once, they only had one line - another line for first class.. that no one was using!

 

[funnygarcia]

hmm, then again.. two days in park (Friday, Saturday -late in day flight Thursday) or three (all day Sunday - leave Monday am) ?? ya know, if I'm going thru all the trouble to get there more days is better.

 

[funnygarcia]

Well in that case.... dream big!

I liked Orlando for their family lane... Made life convienient with all those kids. We didnt have to dump sippy cups, or anything. It was just handier. I think that last year when we went through SNA they had one? NO! It was Seatac. Sorry. We all busted through that line pretty quick.

Im getting stressed cuz the TWINS are not napping. Those two. Make me NUTSO. Im TIRED. and I have to clean. and I want a soda. SODA. They keep pulling the mattresses off thier beds. Its annoying. REALLY REALLY annoying. and I have to clean. and cook....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. and my house stinks.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

My mom and I will be in Thursday. We might make the end of the Meet and Greet but it depends if we hit traffic.

We will be leaving Sunday evening.

 

[staley7580]

Oh yeah... It looks like I will be arriving butt early on thursday morning, along with Michelle.. and staying until Saturday afternoonish. Hmmmmm... I wonder if Alison is going to try to time her flight in with Michelles and mine??

Would this help? No? sorry
POP, not soda.

I had a very yummy basil lime soda at a food truck. Went back the next week- all they had was lemon MINT .. was not as good, and it was cold outside that day.. my hands were frozen to that $2 plastic cup full of minty okayness. I hope they have the basil kind on Thursday. They said they will stick around for a few more weeks until it gets really cold. It warmed up today, crossing my fingers.. mmmmm basil lime SODA (because it really is soda, it has club soda in it).

 

[funnygarcia]

hmm, guess I will have to look out those flight times again.

 

[staley7580]

Im stupid. I meant Sunday afternoonish. And no... Here in the PNW... It SODA. I like SODA. I say it with an accent to. Cuz im classy like that.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

That pic isn't large enough Sarah!!

 

[kelmac284]

Megan that is awesome that you get to go on 2 trips!! You will have a great time with just the hubby!!

And yeah getting up that early is not appealing but I NEED to keep working out. I just started back about 3 weeks ago after a LONG hiatus and I am feeling better and hopefully going to start losing some weight. I lost 40 lbs in 08 and I have gained it all back and then some.

So I NEED to do this and I am too tired when I get home from work plus too much to do at that time of day with sports, my OTHER job etc.

So I will deal

B we are taking a cruise that gets back on Fri morning. I probably am not going to go to any of the diva events since Shane and the girls will be there but I am hoping that when people are just hanging out in between meals or stuff that I can catch up with you guys.

We are leaving on a Sunday night flight too by the way.
