So, one of the mom's on the camping trip is the one I'm helping plan their WDW trip. We talked about a few things this weekend and I think I've finalized their plans for the most part. It is pretty heavy on meals, but even this is a cut back on the list of places they gave me to begin with. Anyone see anything I might change on this schedule? It is a family of 4 with 12yo and 14yo DDs.


For anyone who's been. Is Sea World doable and then back to Epcot for a 6:00 meal?

I think the itinerary looks good, Tia! :thumbsup2

Can't help you with the Sea World to Epcot timing though, sorry.

I was glad to read that camping was fun and that Phil is feeling a little better. I hope he still feels that way after work!
 
Is someone free to cut out the background on this? I need a circle...and my photoshop is at home. :teeth:

Tia - Sea World is heavy on the scheduling...I remember running (well, walking really fast) from one thing to another to make it to the next show I wanted to see on time. You might be able to post on another board and see if someone can scan in the daily shows. That might help some.
 

Good morning...
And before I go here is Lucy from this morning. This was her first scrambled egg, I think more of it ended up on her face and in her hair then in her tummy.

My, oh my is Lucy getting to be a big girl! And she looks so much like Emma and Molly now! What a cutie patootie! :lovestruc
 
Becky - you have had a rough few weeks. I hope it gets better soon. :hug:
 
Tammi - Alyssa's party looks wonderful and she looks like she is having a ball... I don't know though... no frilly things to wear in gymnastics... :rotfl:

Where did you have the party?
 
So my good weekend, is over and it is a not so happy Monday.

So I thought I was going to be taking my test this morning. The professor did not provide me with the test questions. Also turns out my paper from last week disappeared into the black hole in the internet sky. The paper is on my laptop which I loaned to a friend to use this weekend and a few days this week since I was gone. So now I must either rewrite the paper or try to get them to email it to me. This on top of the fact I have no questions for a test, I thought I was taking. I do not have time to rewrite the paper and take the test. I am so livid right now, I just want to jump into a pool and swim away. I am sure the professor now thinks I am a crock who is losing their mind.



I guess I am off to work. Who knows what is going to happen with this class now. I might fail it now. I hope that I calm down on my drive there. Although I am seriously tempted to climb back in bed on this crappy rainy, damp day. I just want out of this class purgatory.

Thanks for listening. Sorry to be so negative all the time. Have a great day everyone.

Oh how frustrating. You need to track down your laptop and submit the paper. There is no point in rewriting it when you know where it is. I hope you can get the questions and take the test. :wizard: :wizard: :hug: :hug: You've been on a long streak of bad luck I really hope it breaks soon. It seems you may have too many irons in the fire and need to give up a few activities until you find some sanity in your life.

Good morning, DDA!!

We had a nice weekend camping. As I mentioned, it was a little cold at night in the tents, but otherwise quite nice. Terra had a ball and was in heaven being able to roam around the open area by our tents, throw sticks into the creek, play in the mud, chase butterflies and climb up into the wooded slope behind our site. She really is a nature girl at heart.

Phil is doing better. He still feels a little queasy, but, at least over the weekend, he wasn't feeling as weak. Hopefully that won't return after working today. We're still waiting for an appt with the GI dr, but the ulcer diagnosis seems pretty accurate so far and the meds are helping that. He's feeling better enough and thankful enough for my help though that he's said that he owes me something. I'm thinking that means I get to go see Made of Honor this weekend or early next week like I was hoping

It's a kid-full day around here so I guess I'm not doing too much. Robin called needing an emergency babysitter for the day so I have two of hers. Apparently her cousin didn't come back from Kentucky last night, but never called to tell her. About the time these two leave, Kristi will bring hers over for her last night of class. After that, Erin is bringing Kaylin to spend the next two nights as she has a business trip early tomorrow through Wed. It's crazy I tell you! ;) We do get to go to the baseball game tomorrow though so I'm happy about that. And somewhere in there I may actually get a shower ;) (since Rachel ran out the hot water twice yesterday thus I haven't showered from camping yet ). It's time for Keira's nap though so I've got my fingers crossed that this is my chance!

:hug: :hug: Those kind of days remind me why I no longer want to do daycare. :lmao: I'll cross that one off my possibilities list. :wizard: That you make it through the next few days without losing it

Their list of must-dos isn't long except at MK. However, most should be easily accomplished in two mornings with at least one being a rope drop, though both if possible. They may end up dropping some food places along the way depending on how the 12yo feels, but that's the area that their plans are most ambitious.

For anyone who's been. Is Sea World doable and then back to Epcot for a 6:00 meal?


If they want to accomplish a lot of seaworld then I wouldn't suggest it. There used to be a good Shamu show that was only offered in the evening. That sounds like too much to hope to accomplish in one day.

Good morning...

You all have been super chatty.

Janet- Prayers for strength and peace today. I love your hair.

Becky- I am sorry that life is upside down right now.

Jen- Good luck on the interview

Bernadette- I hope Emma's case is very mild and doesn't impact your trip. Love the clothes!

Glynis- I am so glad that you and Alan managed to get the flights straightened out. :wizard: that they stay the way they are.

Tia- I am glad Phil is feeling better. Your weekend sounds lovely, well except for the cold part!

Deb- I hope you can get your work situation straightened out. When you find the perfect job let me know

Elin- Hope the deal goes through quickly and you are looking way cool in your new car soon!

Marci- Congrats to Andrew on a well played tournament. Yay for Jake playing well. Continued

Amy- Can't wait to see pics of Jack! Enjoy those Webkinz! Molly and Alyssa are looking so grown up, now only if mine would act it Molly smiled and was thrilled to see Alyssa and Fancy Nancy this morning.

Beth- Congrats to Laura on her swimming meet.




And before I go here is Lucy from this morning. This was her first scrambled egg, I think more of it ended up on her face and in her hair then in her tummy.

Thanks for the wonderful picture to brighten up an otherwise gloomy day

Here are some (ok, a lot) of pictures from the birthday party. I'm thinking maybe I should have Alyssa in gymnastics instead of ballet! I got the cake from Wal-mart, so don't think I'm a master decorator like Amy or Robyn.

I think you may want to get her into gymnastics :thumbsup2 It looks like a hugely successful party :thumbsup2
 
Well I didn't sleep well at all last night. I'm so upset over my schedule. The owner has backed himself into a corner since he keeps hiring thinking that we will get busier, but we don't. The newest waitstaff get a token one night to string them along. The problem is that a token night for them takes shifts away from the rest of us. The other problem is that he schedules by seniority. While I originally started there in 1992 I did not start waitressing until 14 months ago which puts me way down on the seniority list. When I agreed to waitress he made lots of promises which he isn't keeping. He even tells me that if anyone needs to give up a shift I'm first on the list. Turns out he tells anyone that didn't get enough shifts the same thing :headache: Obviously we need to have a heart to heart and that is what I had on my mind all night. I haven't decided if I'll go in to talk with him tonight or if I'll wait until my shift tomorrow night. All I know is that 2 good nights won't pay for vacation and the nights that I got are the worst 2 possible :headache: :mad:

I hope that you get this worked out! I'm sorry you are having to deal with it. Is it possible that he is keeping you low on the list because of the time you have off in the summer?

I could try to do it in Paint... do you have a bigger version or is this one OK to work with?

That's not how he operates. I'm low because there are lots of people that only work a night or two ahead of me. The problem is that everyone needs more money with this economy so they have all taken extra shifts which then trickles down. I used to work every Friday and Saturday, but can't even get those shifts now and it will take several people giving them up before I will see them again. He also caters to the Male waitstaff which really po's all the women, but the men eat it up. We had a waiter take 2 years off then come back and get every Thursday and Saturday night with no problems. :mad: There will be no problem covering my shifts while I'm on vacation as we still have 3 waitstaff coming back from college and they are all going to want nights :confused3
 
Compliments of Disney Cruise Line:
Disney Cruise Line Fuel Surcharge Decision
Due to continually rising fuel prices, Disney Cruise Line® is implementing a fuel surcharge.
The surcharge* is $8 per person, per day for the first two Guests in a stateroom and $3 per day for all other Guests. It is effective for new bookings only made on or after May 28, 2008. Additionally, the surcharge will be capped at $112 each for the first and second Guests in a stateroom and $42 each for all other Guests in the stateroom.

* U.S. Dollars
 
The shower curtain is finished and the passports are printing. I hope I have enough paper and ink.

I need to cut the passports out and get them ready to take for binding. I may bring them to Staples later as I think I need to get out of her for awhile. Otherwise I'll do it tomorrow.

I'm trying to think of other things that I can do in our very small bathroom with some more of the fabric to give the camper bathroom more of a Disney feel. Of course I don't want to spend any more money :lmao:
