Cute pictures of the girls!

Woo hoo for ME tags!

Hope your DH does great today with his surgery.

I love your suitcase. So cute!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Your bags are cracking me up...I am assuming there are clothes underneath all the food and toys? So, now I totally see where Hailey gets her packing priorities from!

Ummmmm~ I don't see room for me... You said you would leave room for me to sneak in there! Wonder if D~ could make a backpack like her Donald one for you... I could ride in it with my legs sticking out the bottom!!!

You are going to have a GREAT TIME!!!!

Love all the stuff in your suitcase! That looks like mine but on the way home as I ususally buy so much stuff.

thanks I actually bought the polka dot set back in 2006 because Riley who was 3 then said it was a minnie mouse one n she liked it.Thanks they said he could be back to work as early as Monday if everything goes okay,but if he has heavy bleeding then obviously he's not to go back.So we'll see I just hope he listens to the drs orders because he never usually does and I'm worried because this time its serious.

Oh Girl I'm a packing magician,you have no idea of the illusion before you,you see that black suitycase is inside of a larger suitcase you can kinda tell on the sides of it if you look on the left you can actually see the "feet" of the smaller suitcase inside the bigger one,see the plan was to look like it was one n then once i'm through security you would hop into the bigger one n i'd roll the small one behind me.Then you'd get to blissfully stay in Disney for all eternity n i'd use that larger bag for my souvenirs home.SEe it's a perfect plan!

Hoping all goes well with your DH, that is very stressful. I can't believe you are packed already! You are definitely set for snacks!

 

[teekathepony]

Okay, forgive me, this is my VERY FIRST POST here so I have no sig, nothing, completely undecorated and boring. So this is @rkellyWDW on Twitter.. thanks for the link, I've REALLY loved going thru this so far! I have to figure out how to sub for the future updates, then find more TRs to read!

I'm so glad your trip is still on and best wishes for your husband (that's really the more important part in spite of how I phrased it, lol).

My daughter is about 7 1/4, she's the older in the family... I'm hoping to do a mother/daughter trip in the Fall for 3 nights so I'm following this with great interest!

I will have more about myself in my sigs eventually, just... kind of... lurking right now

YAYYY welcome!!! Part of my October trip[ will be a mother daughter trip also,the first 3 nights will be just me n my oldest(shes 10) and then we're doing an additional 3 nights with hubby n the youngest joining us ,so if u plan to go in October between the 8th-14th let me know!

 

[cheekypoppins]

First off HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to any moms out there,if it is a happy day for you ( for me not so much this time ,but thats okay)
REAL LIFE UPDATE: Hubby had surgery Friday,and although i was not prepared to see how he looked(it was worse than I expected n kinda scary) THings seem to have gone quite well.The only for sure news they gave us was that it was tumor and it could possibly come back someday.I'm going to hope not with all that I can.The weird thing is it's very rare for this to occur at such a young age the main cause is heavy smoking,My hubby has never smoked a day in his life so that makes no sense until you look at the number 2 reason.......radiation hmmmm well that makes sense since his cell phone is always in his front pocket.If you have sons,brothers, hubbies whoever tell them not to keep their cell phone in their pockets please!!!
anyway he's in alot of pain ofcourse but hes getting whatever he wants,and in great hands.I'm a darn good nurse when I want to be.As soon as we left the hospital I had these waiting for him.....





aswell as McDonalds to eat,I also bought him 3 cases of yogurt,applesauce and icecream incase he couldn't solids



and because Saturday was his bday I got him a bday cupcake with a pinwheel on it (incase he's 5 like me) and a chocolate dipped canoli with a cherry on top,and some lunch......

this he requested....



and this because he loves it and I wanted to surprise him



so we couldn't go out for his bday but I did what I could for him at home,and he's resting right now so all is well so far,let's hope this is the last of the stupid tumor!!

On a happier note i'm getting closer to Disney time,and boy do I need that!!!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

SO glad hubby's surgery went well!! I thought about you guys all weekend. Hope his recovery is going well.

 

[Pluto0809]

I'm so glad the surgery went well. How scary though that you think it might be from the cell phone. Of course it seems like everything is bad for you these days!

My DH plays a lot of sports and has had some sugeries for that so I know how hard those first few days can be! Sounds like you have it all under control with his favorite things. Unfortunately DH is the cook in our family so when he is down for the count we ususally end up eating McDonalds.

 

[DisneyWithMe]

Great googly-moogly, surgery is scary. BUT it must be a huge relief to have it over and done with so congrats and I'm so happy it went well! You have so much on your plate, that trip is going to feel SO GOOD. And you sound like a wonderful nurse indeed.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I'm so glad the surgery went well! I can't imagine how scary that was for you both! I'm glad he's recovering and the trip is still on!!

 

[cheekypoppins]

thanks everyone ,ya know it's amazing how quickly one can heal upon realising that Toronto Maple leafs are now done for the season,but sumthin tells me this sudden burst of energy will be a big regret come morning.If only men would listen when we tell them to take it easy eh?



Oh and incase anyone cares in approximately 1 hour it'll be.......

Yay for 14 days!! I've still got 151.

Sorry your Maple Leafs lost. I didn't really care about the outcome of that game (go Penguins!!) but it was definitely an exciting game to watch. Hopefully your DH didn't overdo it too much!

Glad to hear your husband came through the surgery with flying colors. I love his recovery food choices, especially the sushi! Yum!

Woo Hoo for your trip being just around the corner now!


Almost forgot - hope you had a great mother's day!!!!
