Happy St. Patrick's Day-Ya'll!!!!

I'm down to a day! Actually it's closer to 2 since I don't leave until 7:55 pm on Wed.

I'm excited for you. You will have a super time

I've heard of the Del Coronado. Someone else on the dis was talking about it not too long ago. Isn't is suppose to be beautiful?

It is a beautiful place. It's another haunted hotel -DD will be sooo excited I quit telling her when we stay in these places.

I looked at the website for the hotel Bopsmom posted about. It looks like the Grand Floridian. Or the Grand Floridian looks like that hotel.

Don't tell Uncle Walt that for years disney has denied any copying of the Del for the GF.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

LLoks like I missed a lot last night...the kids are home for March break this week so this place is kinda crazy. That and the bathroom...which now has trim and a new heater.

Congrats Racer...2000!!

M&N - if I don't talk to you before then Bon Voyage!

Hi Holly!

 

[D&DDisney]

Happy St. Patty Day,

I don't know if I can find that many nice kids to give them too. I'm going to look for my HD paint heads to put them on. Maybe a note saying something like A little Disney magic for you. What do you think? Someone said I should ask parents first? Give me some imput here...
Racetrack--you are so kind.

I could just see your kindness turning into some sort of "stalking" thing out there. Strange but true in this society. I would definitely ask the parents first.

Yet! Who's going to keep me in line while you are gone? I might have to venture out there into the CB since nobody will be here at night. And you know, someone will post something to p*** me off.

Oh godness... every thread on the CB gets me po'd. I've really had to restrain myself.

Whgrn: Congrats on the great job of keeping tabs on DD. How scary. I know what you mean about "special" kids needing extra attention. My DS10 (also low IQ and mounds of behavior issues) has no friends right now except girls - which I am sure are only his friends because his hormones have started. You want to do everything you can to help them socially. But, you have to watch them like a hawk. Believe me we've got ours on a VERY short leash. to you.

DS10 must be going through some sort of stage. He has been absolutely unbearable to handle. He's acting up EVERY DAY and coming home and throwing these violent tantrums - so much so that he's scaring my youngest who went hiding yesterday. I just don't know what to do with him. Traditional discipline has not worked, and counseling has failed too. I am at my wits end.

The only good thing today is the weather...it is sunny and will be 75 .

 

[MagiKitty]

Good morning everyone and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Everyone seems to be in a good mood. The prospect of drunkeness just perks everyone up.

Congrats Racetrack on hitting 2000 posts!

M&N! Tomorrow is the big day! Bring the extra pair of shoes. You will find the space. I wear big shoes on the plane and keep a smaller pair in my carryon just in case (God forbid!) my checked-in gets delayed.

Congrats Ev on the new paint and heater!

I love San Diego too. Its probably the only part of Cali that I do like. And when I saw the Coronado, I thought it was the GF too! I just like the people there--so laid back and friendly. And the food is fantastic.

I will say that although I despise Los Angeles, the La Brea tar pits is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen. And I love the free tour of the Kodak theater.

BF and I got into a horrible fight last night. I think I'm upset about going to Disney without him. Hasn't happened in years and its freakin me out. I know it sounds silly, but I just wanted him to promise me that we would go back again. He said he doesn't want to get my hopes up. So he just wants to keep my hopes down??? I don't need him to commit to plane tickets right now, just want to know that we'll may be there again. It really means a lot to me, and all he had to do was placate me and say "yes, we'll go back again sometime". Is that so really hard? I think he finally understood what I was saying after 1am. I think I just wore him down. He just wanted to sleep so badly that I think he would have promised me anything. I think I threw in the TKer meet in July also.

Ok, vent over. I'm starting to feel better but my heart still feels heavy. But I did find out that Friday is Battlestar Galactica marathon day. I think I may be able to make BF watch it with me. I need to be coddled when the Cylons come on. Have a fantastic day everyone!

Hi D&D! Maybe its the weather. Spring is fast approaching and I think cabin fever has reached its peak. People are just grumbly about the weather and the yuckiness and the need to air out the house. Sorry about DS. I don't have kids, but I do believe in discipline. You'll figure out the way to deal with DS best. He's growing, and there's hormones, and its just a rough time for him and you. Hopefully he'll get outside and work off some of that grumbliness.

I forgot to comment about Wendy's situation. You go girl! You did the right thing, nipping things in the bud and telling that boy that DD is too young for him to be in communication with. Your daughter is so beautiful and has a huge heart and I'm sure that everyone sees that and is drawn to her. It was completely wrong for the boy to pass out her number. Its a delicate situation, but its better to deal with it now instead of seeing what it could it develop into. Its such a crazy world our kids live in.

Happy St. Pat's Day!

congrats racetrack on 2000!

Have a great trip M&N!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!​

It's my dad's birthday today. The kids always get a kick out of the fact that he was born on a holiday.

Magikitty, you are almost at 2000 posts too. I understand exactly what your fight was about. DH and I had a couple like that before. A couple of simple words would have avoided the whole thing. Sometimes men just don't understand how simple things can be.

D&D, I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with DS right now. I wish I had some great advice to give you but we tried lots of things that didn't work either. We had a bad week with DS last week. It was like he hit some kind of switch and screw everything that we've worked hard to achieve. I don't get it. I hope things get better for you soon.

M&N, are you all packed? 1 more day!!!

 

[M&N]

EV--The bathroom's coming right along.

MagiKitty--BF must have been pmsing. I think men do. Whatever. Don't let your heart be heavy over that. I know you will have a great time without him. It's Disney---how can you help it? I think in this case it is the place and not the person you are with. I read a few threads a while back of people who go solo and how much fun they have. I was walking around EPCOT alone with Pal Mickey (I guess I really wasn't alone ) and taking pictures of him. One lady asked if I wanted her to take a pic of both of us. I really didn't but let her do it anyway. I just think that's a special memory. Just don't let him rob you of your special love for Disney. Some of us just need a plan out there to think about. I'm already thinking I probably will not get back this year and it's trying to depress me...so trying to concentrate on now. AND you better not 'throw out' the TKer meet...as in not coming. Even my mom, who thinks computers are a waste of time, thinks it's great we will be meeting.

How can he not want to go back to the Happiest Place on Earth????
I agree w/ M&N (above)

D&D, I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with DS right now. I wish I had some great advice to give you but we tried lots of things that didn't work either. We had a bad week with DS last week. It was like he hit some kind of switch and screw everything that we've worked hard to achieve. I don't get it. I hope things get better for you soon.

Exactly.... like some sort of switch went off. Then all of the sudden, what you thought was a situation getting better, is suddenly worse again.
I am going to have to call another counselor for him (or ME) and get some advice as to where to go from here. It really scares me sometimes. I don't think I slept a wink last night.

 

[MagiKitty]

Thanks so much dear friends. I knew I could count on you. I feel so much better. BF always asks "why don't we try to go somewhere else?" and I'm like "well, where do you want to go?" and he never has an answer. So its Disney until proven otherwise....

M&N....I am so not cancelling for the TKer meet. I meant, I may drag him with me! I mean, come on, its Chocolate World! And we should be for you! You're on your way to vacation! How's the shoe situation going?

D&D...I'm sorry you didn't sleep well last night. I hope you find the answers you seek.

I'm so sorry you're having a tough time with DS. I feel your pain!! Is there anywhere near you that does counseling GrOUPS for kids? Sometimes that's a better way than individual counseling. Also, remember that hormones are starting to kick in and he doesn't have a clue what he is feeling, just reacting to it. I wish I had answers. if you get some, please share them with me and ractetrack!!

MK, sorry about your battle with BF. How can he even suggest such a thing as going 'someplace else??"

Racetrack, how's the water situation today?

M&N--it's tomorrow!!!

I went clothes shopping a little bit today with DD and got size 14 capris and shorts, and size L shirt, at Kohls. I am a very happy camper. I really need spring clothes. The ones I bought today are the ONLY ones I have!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

racetrack18kb Congrats on 2000 posts!
D&DDisney (re DS) Maybe it's spring fever.
M&N Only one more day!
MagiKitty I agree if BF can't come up with another destination it's going to be WDW.
whgrn Sounds like you have a good excuse to go clothes shopping.

My DH came home last night. He's stayed home today. He claimed he told me and even asked what I wanted to do today. I asked him if I responded. He said no. I said if I don't respond that means I didn't hear you. He decided he's not sharing a room with his brother any more, he snores. So DH was glad to get back for some sleep.

 

[Sukie]

Good evening all. Thought I would pop in for a moment. DH got all of his trees cut down safely. Now he is in the process of splitting it all.

Sending out for all of you and your loved ones. I am sure better days are coming.

Racetrack~ Congrats for over 2000 posts.

M&N~ Have a nice trip. Be safe. Say hi to "MICKEY" for me.

Chat later.

 

[M&N]

I hope everyone had a lucky day today...I didn't even wear green but then I only went out of the house to get the mail...which did not contain my paycheck. No green for me today. It'll be a good 'treat' for me when I get home.
I hate having DWTS, AI, and Biggest Looser on at the same time. DWTS ran over and so I missed who went home on BL. I'll have to go check their thread.
Tomorrow....

 

[racetrack18kb]

Watched DWTS tonight and was pretty pleased with who got sent home. I think it's going to be good competition this time. I'm liking Shawn and Ty alot.

M&N, I hope you have a wonderful trip. Take lots of pictures for us. How about some pictures of your food? We could have our own food porn right here.

 

[pepperw23]

Man the boards are so slow tonight I had to "quick reply"...which is no fun there are no smilies..

Anyway, just wanted to say a quick hi before going off to bed. Nothing spectacular going on.

D&D- My SIL went through the exact thing with my nephew. He was being abused by a teacher we later found out...and I mean for real abused. Is DS possibly being bullied?

Magikitty- I'm sorry you guys had a fight. It happens. Remember, you only argue with those you love because you actually care what they think.


Not ignoring any one, just sleepy.

OH!!! Which one of you is "holly" on facebook? PM me, I am starting to lose track of who is who.

ETA: I found the smilies!!!!!

 

[racetrack18kb]

pepper, nice to see you if only for a minute. Hope you stop in again soon. Now go count those sheep.

I won't be eating at the parks...Mickey ears and Dole Whip maybe. We'll take snacks and eat out or at home. I know we're going to MK Thurs and having her lasagna at home. I know I'll take lots of pics but I do have a hard time putting them on Photobucket with my slow system. I'll try a few. They said it was too hot for the season last week but should cool down to the 70's!
