I want that for breakfast!!! Those waffles look sooooo delicious, and I absolutely Hot Cocoa! Hot Cocoa and Popcorn are my favorite winter time snacks....and I may or may not have boxes of each in my desk here at work. But I don't get to have whipped cream and Mickey sprinkles on it at work.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, Miss Sunshine!!!!

Awe,well I'll have to pack the waffle maker when I come visit oh and believe it or not it works really well with funfetti cake mix too

Where did you find a Mickey Waffle maker for $10? The ones they sell in the parks are so expensive. I keep passing it up when I'm there.

I'm excited we may get to meet in October! I'm still agonizing over which resort to pick.

 

[cheekypoppins]

theres a discount store up the road and they had mickey wafflers and tigger ones both for 10 bucks but it was when my now 7 yr old was just a baby,although if you look up villaware online they usually sell some for cheaper than what you might get at Disney store or in a park.

OKay so I haven't done in update in a while because I've had ALOT going on.DR's appointments pretty much at least 1 a week still for myself or H.I had to go and have 2 types of ultrasounds,bloodwork n some other tests done and I'll go get those results this coming week.H had a physical at the dr's and an assessment with someone from the school board.......the physical showed some things I wasn't aware of (so again no answers just more questions)and she's now being sent out of town to a pediatrician at a well known university hospital for further testing because she has characteristics of some different syndromes.Then I had a meeting at the school to let me know how her assessment there went,and they found some things we wouldn't have known otherwise also,so even though it seems we are still very far away from diagnosis for her she will be getting one on one help at school once a week for 30 minutes(that may change later to more time)Wish us luck.

Thanks Wendy it's definitely been stressful and I'd be lying if I said a few tears havent been shed in the process but,I'm just more determined to make my may trip a really special one with Hailey.Poor thing has pretty much been a lab rat this year and unfortunately we're not out of the woods yet.I won't stop fighting to get all of her needs met though regardless of what they throw at us.I also had a meeting at her school and they decided that maybe I was on to something when I said she needed more one on one support,so now they will have someone working with her once a week for 30 minutes aswell as a new speech pathologist in april.

You know that you and H are in my prayers! Good will come of this...just hang on and don't give up!!

I'm glad to hear her school seems to be on board, and I know you won't stop fighting for her! Best of luck to you both. I'll be sending good vibes your way.

It's October update time everybody say YAYYYYYY!!!! Just wanted to pop over here and let you all know that today is the day that I booked my stay for October.So I am officially going to Stay at Pop Century the first 3 nights then hubby will drive down with our youngest and join the oldest and I for the following 3 Nights at POFQ.Originally I was going to do it the other way around but I decided that since Hubby n the youngest will spend most of the time at the pool they'd most likely want to be at the resort with the nicer pool.So during our Pop stay it'll be me n my Ry for her bday trip # nights at pop with a 4 day park hopper,then the remaining portion at Pofq we will not have park passes but will visit DTD and the Boardwalk n do some swimming.It's still a bit away from when I can bok adrs but i am really hoping to do hoop deee doo for the first time.

Okay so much news so little time,still lots of appointments for H and I and so I've kinda been slummin and avoiding the forums for fear of passing on my misery.Hailey had a physical a little while ago n the dr said that she had some signs of some different syndromes so she'll be seeing a specialist at a sick kids hospital in another city,but not sure of that date yet.It's sooo frustrating because I need to be ok for her n I'm having a hard time with that some days.she's been assessed by someone from the school board ,and her resource teacher and a place here that deals with the mentally challenged and while everyone can agree that are a few different things going on no one seems to know exactly what.I hate to "label" her but I feel like at almost 8 yrs old a diagnosis needs to come soon so we can get her any help she needs.I need my vacation so much!!
Anyways I knew there was hope that some good would come to us soon ,when H pointed out that after my dishes were done a few days ago we saw a hidden mickey in the suds( she pretty much demanded that i mention n it n get a pic for this)Hailey for the most part lets me do my thing but there are some moments when she wants very much to be involved in the making of our pretr or tr.So upon her request here is a pic of our HM in the sink

so I needed a baby fix because what better thing to cheer you up than holding an itty bitty baby,so H n I had a date night while Ry n Daddy had a date night.H n I went to my friends house to see her baby and I got a sweet yet fuzzy pic of her holding "my little coconut"

In other news....... My sister wanted to take my nephew to Disney for his bday too but wasn't sure if she could do it financially so i offered them the extra bed in our room for May and they're coming.The good thing about this is that I had to look at flights and noticed there were more options now that southwest bought air tran.So we were able to keep our flight credit and switch to a much later flight so that we actually have time to go to a park on the last day.So let's see I have 4 friends from disney forums that will be in the parks at that time,A family from back home going at the same time,a florida family going,and now my sister n nephew so I guess that means there will be lots of fun things to do or at least I hope so.

That HM is EPIC!!!! Thank you Hailey for making Mommy photo document that bad boy!! What a sweet picture of H and the baby! Little babies are so precious!

Sounds like your May trip is going to be super busy, super packed , and super FUN! You are getting SO CLOOOOOOSE!!!!

 

[Pluto0809]

Finally getting all caught up after my trip.

Yay for having your October trip booked. I need to get mine booked but I'm feeling the "back from Disney blues" right now and don't feel working on that trip yet.

I'm sorry you are going through so much with your daughter. I hope the Doctor's come up with something soon.

Glad you got a later flight so you can get more park time in. I wish I had done that this last trip although I was so tired by Tuesday morning that I don't know if I would have made it to a park any way. I had to catch the ME at 8:30 am.

ETA - I forgot to mention the HM. That is so cool!

Aew I'm glad u had a good time though and i loved the random fb uploads it was cool getting to sorta follow along here n there,can't wait for that TR

Hey girl, you can always come here and let out your frustrations. I can understand how it could build when you have to be strong for H. I hope they figure out something soon so she can get any help she might benefit from.
I find that when I need it most, there are always little Disney hints around, things like your hidden Mickey in the soap (which, btw, is the most perfect accidental HM I've ever seen, must be a serious sign!)
Sounds like it's going to be fun with your sister going too!

 

[cheekypoppins]

Thanks


Okay so some good news I booked my flight for the October trip this morning and for 2 of us one way was cheaper than what i've spent before on my self one way,so thats pretty good.



and in other news I changed my dining again LOL it's only the 999th time lol So I will now have a dinner at The Garden Grill( I didn't like it last time but wanted to re-try) and Hailey has decided that on the last day she wants to go to DHS whgich i'm sure might change once we are there.
