DDA Chapter 20

[MinnieMouseMom]

ACK!! TWELVE DAYS! You must be packed in full TWELVE DAYS prior to departure! That's the rule! I hope you at least have your closet sectioned off.

So I took Princess to ballet today and one of the moms says "Hey, Elizabeth! We are going to WDW." Great! I ask when they are going.
"Memorial Day."

These people just decided yesterday to pop over to WDW. No plane ressies, no hotel, NOTHING. She thought they would eat breakfast in the castle. And get Fast Passes online. And stay at Ft. Wilderness so they can do the campfire. With only 2 days. She also thought all their food would be free. Um, no.

I made her get on her cell phone RIGHT THEN and call dining. She got lunch at LTT. That was it. Her DH was booking flights, and they were looking at staying at POFQ because availability is spotty. They don't think it will be crowded because tourism is down. I told them WDW tourism is NOT DOWN.
I hope they have fun. I really do. They are SO clueless. They are just going to MK, so at least they have a narrow focus.

Going to WDW for Memorial Day. Good gracious.

Well, I do have a list going, but I blew the 12 day deadline

I can't believe those people thought they were going to get all the reservations they needed at the last minute Good thing you were there to straighten them out!

Kelli, I told you she'd find out without me telling her.

Deb - Good luck at work in the morning. I hope it's not too crazy.

Tammi - Sorry that the deal isn't better than that, but I'm glad you got to keep the house and DVC, even if it does make it a little tough. I'm sure you'll make it work though! Enjoy your muffins/doughnuts in the morning. Sounds like fun.

Elizabeth - I can only imagine you forcing that mom onto the phone with dining.

Elin - Glad you got some sunshine, if only briefly, today. I highly considered the seasonal light things in the height of a Boston winter.

Kelli - Happy packing!

Terry - I hope your toe feels better tomorrow. The new computer sounds great! I was looking at those online a few weeks ago.

Theresa - Poor Josh. I could manage to get past most of those things, but maybe not even going to the graduation. That's just insane.

I am so mad I could spit nails. Why, because of 9 year old girls. At our meeting tonight, everything was fine until the very end. 4 of the girls went to the bathroom~ Emma and 3 others. Of the other 3~ one was Lily, Em's best friend and one is Maya R, her dad is the one Eric does scouts with and they live on our street. The 3rd girl, Maya A, goes to school with Lily. Emma and Lily are best friends through and through. Maya R is very jealous of Emma for various reasons. Her mom, Tina, has told me so on numerous occasions. I have just chalked it up to normal girl drama really haven't paid much attention to it. The girls play together outside and Maya R will come over here and Em will go over there.

Apparently, Maya R and Maya A were in the bathroom stalls (there are only 2) and they were not using them. They were playing. Lily was washing her hands. Em came in and said she needed to go. Maya A stood up on the toilet and would not let Em go. Maya R wouldn't get out of the other stall. Em kept asking to go and they kept saying no. Telling her they were putting a curse on her and such. At some point, Em must have gone and then Randy, Lily's dad, went to wrangle them as it was time to leave. I was busy getting stuff loaded in the van so I didn't notice Em as she came out. She immediately went into the van and sat. I was talking to Tina, Randy and Martha (Maya's mom) and Tina had both Mayas and Lily take our garbage to the dumpster. They did and Lily came running back separately and told Randy she was ready to leave. They left. Martha and Maya A got in there car and left. Tina and I finished talking and then I got in the van. Em told me she wanted to quit the troop immediately. ACK!!! So I pulled what I could out of her. All she told me was that they would not let her go to the bathroom and they were not being a sister to every Girl Scout. My daughter is ALL about the rules and making sure everyone follows them. I gave her a hug and told her I would find out more information and we would address any issues at our next meeting.

I texted Randy and asked him to ask Lily about the drama and if it was just Em being over dramatic, which she can. He called me back and told me about the curse and how they wouldn't let her go to the bathroom. Lily also said that when the 3 of them were going to the dumpster, the 2 Maya's were talking about Emma and called her an a **hole. Hence, the reason why Lily came running back and wanting to leave. Randy said Lily was crying as she was telling him about the night. She was mad at herself for not being a good friend and sticking up for Emma.

I knew it was coming but am not at all prepared for it. We have 3 meetings left and then our camping trip. I do not want the year to end on a bad note. Randy and I will be talking to the girls next week.

I hate the girly drama. They can be so mean to each other.

Robyn - I'm so sorry for Emma. I can't believe some of the things kids say sometimes and even worse when it's towards your own child. Lots of and wishes that you can work it out.

 

[ReAnSt]

So I may be heading to camp again tomorrow. I am not sure yet. I have started packing to go. So if I am not on again, have a great weekend.

I will definitely be going to camp next weekend.

I hope that you are all doing well.

 

[tmfranlk]

Well, I got some yummy mint chocolate sauce for my ice cream at Target tonight and it's calling my name right now. I think we'll go get some dessert and then head to bed. That is if I can distract Terra from to need to make furnishings for her new "hamster" tonight. (Said hamster is battery operated and comes with a ball. He looks crazy real running around the floor, especially from across the room. She tells me that this means we don't need to get her a real hamster for a little while after all. Crazy kid. )

Night all.

Hi Everyone.

Wow, Grey's Anatomy was intense tonight. Definately a four tissue show.

Work has been intense, but thankfully I can keep busy and at 5pm, I can leave and not think about it until the next day. we got new computers and they are so neat!!! They are Dell Hybrid. The tower is just so cute I got the red one. the monitor is 22 inches. The clarity is intense.

Today I was going up the stairs after lunch and my shoe slipped and I managed to jam my baby toe. It is now a real nice blend of black and purple. It really hurts. I cannot tell you how many times I have broken both of my baby toes. So, I am limping around and took a pain pill.

Check this out. This family won a private day on Castaway Cay.

Have a good night.

Ouch I hope thing get better quickly.

wow. That is huge. Those 2 girls are guilty of bad language and bullying. You might want to check with counsil on how to specifically handle it, but if that happened here those 2 girls would not be allowed to go camping as that is a priveledge that they do not deserve. A talk isn't sufficient in my opinion. Besides the obvious breaking the rules of language and bullying they broke the girl scout rules about being a good sister, maybe they need to be suspended until next year. They are 9 so they are obviously old enough to know right from wrong.

[Pooh67_68]

Morning.

 

[Tammi67]

What time are you doing dinner Thursday?

I don't know, probably sometime after AK closes. Maybe 6ish. Do you want to eat together?

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Sure! It's the 5 of you right?

[Tammi67]

Those chickens gave me a chuckle this morning, Deb.

Robyn - I'm so sorry for Emma, Lily and you, too. I know this is not something that you want to deal with know. I hope you all can give the girls a good talking to, and that it sinks in. Alyssa comes home almost everyday complaining about a girl named Megan, who is mean, bossy and trying to steal her best friend, Meredith. Sounds like it is only going to get worse as they get older.

 

[Tammi67]

Sure! It's the 5 of you right?

Four. Bethany will be with her mom. Good luck with the ADRs!

 

[Tammi67]

And in keeping with Deb's chicken theme.................

Good morning.

Thanks. Yeah, if this is the stuff that happens at 9, 15 is going to send me over the edge. I just don't get it. Randy is going to come up with a game plan for next week and we'll go from there. I do not look forward to calling or emailing the parents but it definitely needs to be addressed.

Four. Bethany will be with her mom. Good luck with the ADRs!

I figured that out right after I posted that!

Well, apparently I have to wait until 8:30am The dining system is down. I'll let you know what I get.

i know!!!!

morning!!

Thanks, Deb. I completely get where you are coming from but I am not quite sure we need to be so drastic. Our group is very small and our camping trip is also our bridging ceremony. Randy is very good at getting the girls to listen and they respond to him so hopefully a talk will be all we need.

 

[mommykds]

Good morning. We have sun! (but more rain expected later today). TGIF

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

AAACK!!!!

Poor Josh was over here for supper. His parents may or may not be coming to his graduation, he didn't get an 18th birthday present, they didn't pay for a yearbook(yes, I know it's sixty bucks but they didn't pay for anything else...I mean nothing else), no planning to take him out after graduation, no party, nothing. That just makes me see red for him.

I am sorry I have been reading along but it is going in one eye and out the other.

Theresa, that is sad. I am glad your family has stepped up to make Josh feel included.

I hate the girly drama. They can be so mean to each other.

Robyn, I am so sorry. Do I need to come pull a "Hand that rocks the cradle" on those girls? Because I can. I have 2 weeks off at the end of the month.

Thanks. Yeah, if this is the stuff that happens at 9, 15 is going to send me over the edge. I just don't get it. Randy is going to come up with a game plan for next week and we'll go from there. I do not look forward to calling or emailing the parents but it definitely needs to be addressed.

ACK!! How can the dining system be down? UNacceptable!!
Hopefully it will come back up SOON so you can get things booked! 90 days is a nightmare.

Our lunch at Puck's is 1 PM Monday, FYI.

Tammi - We will be at AK Sunday, Epcot after the DDA dinner, and MK Saturday morning until we need to go back for Magical Express.

Is it August yet?

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Good Morning!

Leighanna has a field trip today at a farm. It is supposed to rain most of the day. I have a feeling she will be a mess when she gets home. And no... I am not chaperoning THIS ONE!

Sorry to be MIA, but I have been busy with all sorts of stuff and haven't had time to post, let alone read!

Have a great day!

Hopefully the sun will return again soon!
