DDA Chapter 17

[mommykds]

I got mine when I turned 14 (in July) right before my freshman year in high school.

Thanks.

I have elected to keep DS in glasses for now. When he was young he had HORRIBLE eye infections and was very susceptible to pink eye. I am just worried about contacts being too difficult for him to keep clean. I will allow him to have them eventually, but not right now.

All I have done so far is gripe about the booking window for ADRs. I have it penciled in on my itinerary for August 12, tentatively at Cape May because it was such a hit last year. Please let me know if you have other ideas!

I don't want her to get them for the same reasons you mentioned above.
Not sure what date off hand the 12th is..I know we are going to be at MK Tues & Wed of our time there. I am not sure when everyone plans to be there either. Oh wait, I see the 12th is a Wednesday. Hmmmm ok let me see what I am doing. I am using last years TGM for my days for this trip.

Katie just came home screaming that she lost her glasses. I told her to calm down but she's hysterical as usual. She'll have to go to the Lost & Found at school & see if they have them. She is complaining that she needs contacts. Is 13 to young for contacts?

my nephew had them at 10....but he's spoiled rotten and he wasn't really taking care of them, my MIL was.

I would say 13 is just about right.

So if a high-end toy boutique exploded the results would be Princess's house. There is more stuff in here that I thought possible.
Anybody heard of Calico Critters?

No, sorry.

Anne Marie - We can switch to another date if another date works better for everyone. I think at this point everybody is planning to be there that whole week from Aug. 9-15, with some of us going home the 15th, so any of those days Mon - Fri would be fine. I don't have my planning stuff at work with me today so I don't know what days we are going to be at which park.

You are off to an awesome start with WW! I didn't even lose 7.5 lbs. giving birth to DS. He weighed EXACTLY 7 lbs., and I went home weighing EXACTLY 7 lbs. less.

Yeah, if I didn't just shell out $500 for ONE NIGHT at Great Wolf Lodge I might be more inclined to add points.

Dang that lodge is expensive.

Dang that lodge is expensive.

I thought the same thing.

It wouldn't be quite that bad if we didn't need a room that sleeps 8 people. Then the resort tax is some ludicrous rate. THEN the occupancy rules are squirrelly. You can have 8 people in the room, but the price is only for 6 people. So if we have 8 people I will owe more money. Whatever. DS didn't get much for Christmas, and he is turning 13, which is kind of special.

It wasn't any cheaper doing 2 rooms?

Not even close.

$399 for one room, $458 for 2. Those are the rates before tax.

Elizabeth-you are right...13 is one of those milestone birthdays. We've got one of those in May.

I got mine towards the end of eighth grade, and that was back when contacts weren't as kind to the eyes. I'm pretty sure Matthew was 13 or 14. I think that Laura is going to need glasses soon, and I'm guessing that she'll go straight to contacts (with back-up glasses). I don't know how bad Katie's vision is (probably not too bad if she can lose her glasses). Mine is horrendous, and I see much better with contacts than glasses.

Week 1 on WW's & I lost 7.5 lbs.

All water weight I am sure but hey I'll take it!

Crazy here. Lets just say we are all stressed over the move. I would like to stay til June so the kids can finish out their school year. Not sure if thats an option though. So much cr@p going on right now with all this. We had a guy come in the other day to see the house & all he did was complain about it. I just wanted him out. Anyway, I haven't had a chance to read everything so I am sending everyone

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I lost some weight as well this past week, and I'm still going strong. I think 8 days must be some kind of record for me (as pitiful as that is ).

for the stress of moving! I hope that you can find a way to make it as easy as possible on all of you.

Yes, but that does include water park admissions, right?
