Ohh when and where is the mini meet on 2/2/08. I would love to stop by.

 

[taramarie]

Welcome avic77!!!

We are meeting on the 2nd for Pirate and Princess Night. I think between 6:30-7pm.

Are you going to the P&PP too! We are going to disney for just that one night on the 2nd and then we are leaving for a disney cruise on Sunday. We also took Wed, Thurs, and Friday off from school to go to disney. And I am a teacher.....shame on me! LOL

Precisely! MG week is a hoot, as long as it's not also P-week.

I teach preschool. I have taught for 15 years! Wow do I feel old now.

Tara

 

[DisneyMom14]

I have a LOT of respect for pre-K and kinder teachers!!! I taught 2nd for 4 years and 3rd for 5 years before going into the library. You must be a very special person! 15 years - 15 to go!

Also, IF you are attending the MINI MEET on 2/2 - If you haven't already done so - PLEASE let Lori know so she can add you to page 1. Thanks

 

[taramarie]

Hi!!Okay, Is 6:30 too late for people wanting to pop a squat to watch Wishes??? If you are wanting to see Wishes- which I heard is fabulous from an ex Disney employee who works with me now- let me know, maybe we'd have to make it at 6:00-6:15pm.
Taking a vote here!!!

I say, 6:30. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

I am getting sooo excited! Got my flu shot a few days ago and getting the kids this week hopefully. Trying to squash any sickness I can ahead of time!!!

I know, crazy .

Anyway- DD9 will be 10 on 12/1-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH . Having a backyard campout if not freezing outside! Y'all, I am so thrilled she is 10. THIS was THE age I could not wait for her to be b/c I knew if she made it to 10, we'd be as clear as you can from leukemia as SHE can be!!! All these little milestones that I dreamed about so long ago are here and coming true!!!! I just was happy to get to the next day back when she was on chemo. I know I talk about it a good bit, but having you all to share in this has been reaslly therapeutic for me. It is funny how we have not said the word "cancer" or "leukemia" in a long time, or it is few and far between and now it's getting closer and there are all these little flashbacks creeping up of times I had thought in my head about the possiblility she would not be here when she was 10 and WHEN she turned 10, then the 5 year mark would be around the corner. I wanted time to fly but also go slow b/c I didn't want to miss a minute of her life and wanted to enjoy every last second as much as I could. Talk about confusion!!! BUT I am so happy I can share this-my family has walked the walk and seen her grow and can share this with us too, but I just want to shout it out to the world about how blessed and lucky me and my DH feel to have our child still with us , and to have BOTH of them. Life is short ya'll, go hug your children and LOVE them beyond reason and enjoy every minute- even the frustrating ones!!!

Some people think this should all be behind us b/c, after all she was diagnosed in Sept 2000, but OMG- it will never be over for us and being that this time in our lives was a wish and a dream and a prayer and a hope-it is here-just about!

Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori

BUT Know this-our trip is not exactly about a cancer survivor, it is about our family CELEBRATING LIFE!!!!!

 

[DisneyMom14]

Lori - I am just so happy for you and your family at this time in your lives and 6:30 is fine for me.

 

[wendypooh]

Morning all.........

Lori ~ I'm so happy for you and your family!! It's been a long road and you deserve to celebrate!!!!

DS had the flu all week......... he's better and did go to school today, but it's sooooooo darn cold here! Hoping it warms up ~ esp. for your campout!

As for meeting at 6:30 - that's fine, but we need to find out about "wishes" I know a few of us who went to parties last year remember them not doing it - or at least I don't remember them doing it. How can we find out for sure?

Anyway - meeting earlier is fine with me!! We have an ADR at Cindy's for 4:10 - anything after that we're good!

 

[lori1043]

Just so you know, my last post was written under heavily medicated conditions due to the LOVELY fact that I am female and God has given me this WONDERFUL thing each month that allows me the ability to possibly go through 9 months of getting a bigger belly by the day, getting no sleep, then popping out another human being at the end of it!!! WOW!!! Not that you need to know all that but I am ready to get rid of my God given uterus to avoid all this loveliness!!!

For all you NOT going through your God given loveliness, or you are a man-well, I am sorry for this post!!!

On another note-know that I am the type to take what He dishes out, and another kid would be beautiful, but right now I ain't so cheery!! AND I am 37, almost 38. "Nuff said!!



Looks like it's gonna be at 6:30... any objections???

Lori

 

[taramarie]

6:30 is fine for me too.

Okay...now remind me of where we are meeting! LOL
