DDA Chapter 22

[Disney Yooper]

Stopping by quick to say that I'm alive and well. It has been a busy couple of weeks. I'll try to stop by soon and report on the happenings. Nothing earth shattering happening - just crazy busy. Hope all of my DDA friends are doing well. Can't wait to have some time to catch up with everyone! Miss you all.

Vicki, Chris and I were just talking about you going MIA. I figured you were busy between the two homes and new job. Hope you can catch up soon.

Bernadette, Anne Marie, Marci and all you other travellers you need to give us reports ASAP so we can live vicariously through you. We need some excitement in our boring little worlds Whenever you get a chance, no pressure

Good Morning,

Glad the Magic Meets were a hit

Welcome home Bernadette and Anne Marie, I'm still sorry we didn't get to see you

Please remind me in the future that I need at least one day off the week before we leave for a trip, this is nuts! Don't tell Elizabeth but we leave tomorrow and I'm not packed yet.

Heidi - Out of curiosity... which of you was the Mom? No... never mind... don't tell me.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well not 10, but she has always looked a LOT younger then she really is.

Does your sister look 10?????

We had our photo taken one night at the Poly and the photographer was awesome! The kids were calling me Mommy but I don't think they called DH by name so the photographer called him "grandpa". DH can't hear a thing so I don't think he heard it.

Too funny!!!!

Grandpa! thank goodness he didn't hear him, lol.

Good morning!

Trying to get back to normal.

I tried to load some pictures into photobucket but it kept closing & its a work in progress.

We did have a great time, although the crowds were alittle daunting & some just down right rude. We didn't let that stop us but I am looking at June for next year since not all the schools are out in June & maybe that will make some difference.

The BWI was lovely...so nice, away from the chaos of the parks. We really took time to enjoy the resort this trip. We went to the lounge every day for breakfast & came back a few times during their dinner hour. One night they had lamb kabobs & paella, and they always had hummus, dips, veggies & crackers out at night. Dana & I ate our dinner there twice & we took the kids to Electric Umbrella all the while laughing thinking about that funny youtube skit.

We had a view of Illuminations from our balcony. We only watched Illuminations from the park once which was so nice. I love the Beach Club but the BWI is a really close 2nd if not tied! The performers on the boardwalk each nice were great..so amusing! The staff was very friendly & the pool was fun...however we found that the quiet pool was even better as it was near empty most days. Of course we did alot of parks open to close, I guess that will never change.

I am working on getting some pictures up.

Good morning...

Things went relatively well, all things considered. I have found out that while I have the kids I do not have temporary custody. What is in effect is a safety plan that lets me have the kids based on Sara's willingness to let them be here. After talking with the social worker, as of right now he has no plans to remove them from the home but suggests that I could file and be granted the temporary custody. I do have to have him come out and do a home visit some time today. What amazes me is that long ago I met the social worker as he was assigned to one of neighbors who was causing problems for everyone on the street. Along with taking the baby to the doctors as he is sick! I talked to my sister briefly this morning she acts like the only problem is the boyfriend. And since he is gone well she can do what she wants.

I am so sick to my stomach, things are so confusing. Eric and I will be filing for the custody tomorrow and I have to let Sara know that is my plan. I know I am doing the right thing but nonetheless I just want to crawl in a hole.

 

[PNO4TE]

Anne Marie - I am glad you all had a good time. I love the BWI too. It is so very peaceful there.

 

[PNO4TE]

Robyn - I cannot even begin to know what you and Eric and the kids are going through. You have my best thoughts headed your way through all of this.

Sounds like you are doing the right thing...I hope the very best for all of you.

Illuminations from our room.

These were in the room on our birthday. Dana has earned some brownie points after this trip!

The vase is pewter with all the versions of Mickey on it. What a surprise!

Breakfast at the CL.

 

[mommykds]

we were leaving MK one night & got on the monorail..as soon as we did the sky opened up & it poured!

One morning at Epcot Dana went to get a FP for Soarin at rope drop. I had the kids & as we passed the character spot Pluto motioned for us to come in. We were the first people for the day to meet the characters & I got this shot off them all with the kids...Christmas card! Score!

Heres Dana reacting to the "wet floor" sign!

I thought this was so cool. The imagineers are not supossed to "sign" their work, however we found this cool sign walking around AK.... (Joe Rhode)

Good morning, DDA! (Yeah, I'm sneaking that in just under the wire.)

Robyn, many and much to you and your family!

Anne Marie, I love your photos! I am aching to be in WDW right now. It is great to see the pictures and hear all about it.

Heidi, I always wonder how old I look to others. I'm sure that you don't look anywhere near old enough to be your sister's mother!

The Magic Meet sounded terrific!
