*Girls DL Trip* OLD THREAD

[mommaU4]

I'm going to try and come out then, my DD 14th birthday is July 4, which we will NOT be trying and my DH birthday is July 7, so I'm looking at July 5-8; maybe we can meet up!!

The twins birthday is July 9. I wish we could go out there then and use their free birthday passes, but I doubt we'll make it since Ruben is taking time off to be with the kids while everyone is here in Vegas.
Oh well.

Hi everybody!

I'm sorry I haven't been here for a couple of days (I think). Our puppy was diagnosed this afternoon with parvo.

HI Steph. I saw this post on FB but I wanted to say again how sorry I am. I will definitely be hoping he makes a quick and complete recovery.

Oh my gosh, just realized it is next month! Oh yeah! Me too!! I am dreaming of my massage!
I sure wish that I was going to Vegas this month though!

I know! I can't wait to meet up with everyone. I wish you were coming this month too though.

Friday we are having a graduation party (Fiesta theme!) at our house with Carne Asada, Carnitas, and all that jazz with games and a pinata

Oooooh, how fun! That's definitely something to look forward to.

I am SO looking forward to next week and sleeping in although the girls argue EVERY morning so I am NOT looking forward to THAT part

I hear ya!!!

Anyhow, we leave for Disneyland in just about 2 hours.

Have a wonderful time Jane!!

1000 posts post!

And I just realized I broke 1000 posts too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so HUNGRY and have no groceries at home, you know what they say about not going grocery shopping when you're starving... you'll buy the whole store!

Been there, done that. Way too many times. lol
That's cool your dad will be coming with you and your mom.

 

[mommaU4]

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a good day so far. I'm starving so I've got to go find something for lunch. I wish it could be something yummy, but most likely will be a Lean Cuisine. Oh well, have a good afternoon ladies!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Hi guys! Anyone going to be at DL on Saturday? I'll be there using my free birthday ticket!

 

[kelmac284]

Afternoon all! Man we are having the WEIRDEST weather. Would you believe they are saying it is going to RAIN a few days this week. WEIRD! The good news is I JUST got an e-mail saying they CHANGED pic day tomorrow!!! YAY!!!!!

I am SO excited. No stress now!!! WOO HOOOO! So now after school the girls can just get ready and go STRAIGHT to church! YAY!!!! And then NEXT Wed they have pic day and we don't have to worry about missing anything! YAY! SO glad!

Anyway I also was just looking around for October and found GREAT rates on airfare and hotel for october so the only thing that would really be an expense is our tickets. I sure wish our passes weren't expired. Actually the girls and I's expire in a few days but I saw NO point in renewing them NOW since we couldn't go anytime soon and even if I DID renew them now sure I could use them in Oct AND in Feb I guess but I have NO idea when else the girls and I are going on a trip and honestly right NOW I don't want to spend the money. Plus I just spoke with mom and I don't know if we will be taking a trip with the girls anytime next year so it is just a hard decision to make whether or not to renew their passes. When we went in April I had just bought a 5 day pass for Shane and I will probably do that again but I guess now that he may go again in Oct it would have been better to have had a pass but he probably won't go again in 10. That is the hard part is not knowing. We are taking our big road trip next summer so that is what is making the decision so hard. I don't know if there will be any time next year that we will go back and I hate to spend the money if we won't have any chance to go back.

That is kind of why I wanted to wait and buy my pass right before the ladies trip since I KNOW I will go on that one but who knows.

AH trying to figure out what is best is so tough!

I know it was REALLY hard NOT renewing ours. We have had our passes consistently since 06 and it doesn't help when they keep sending me little reminders to renew lol.

But anyway we are still trying to decide if it is in our budget to go as it is. But I would LOVE to go with you all! We shall see!

Anyway off to pick up the girls here soon. See yall later!

I wish I was going to DL on Saturday!! Have fun and Happy almost Birthday, Sarah!!

So I'm another one asking for prayers and pixie dust. Since this whole recession crud, my parent's have been having a really hard time. My Dad's pay got cut 10% and my Mom's hours got cut from 40 to 30. Already with that they've been struggling, I'm doing my share and have no problem helping out (especially all that they've done for me!). Even with that they're still having a hard time with rent and other bills. My Dad can still work the occasional overtime, but it's limited. My Mom can't work OT at all. Well today they cut my Mom's hours again, now she can only work 27 hours a week. Which is a 32.5% cut in pay. She told me right now she's looking for a new job, either a new full time or a second job. I feel so bad for them. They've worked hard their whole lives and we've always been so 'comfortable' with having enough money. It's sad seeing my parents struggle. Even with me helping, I make about less than half an hour than what they make.

Courtney, I am sorry that your parents are struggling right now. It's so tough for so many people these days. I hope things work out for them and your mom is able to find something with more hours. In the meantime, you are a good daughter for helping them out.

Did you see my post from last night:

That's awesome about the ent rates, I'll have to go check it out. I'll be with one of my friends but I know she won't care if we meet up for a few!

Courtney... Biggest of hugs...i'm so sorry your family is going through this. It is a helpless feeling, I know. My brother was laid off and hasn't found a job yet. It brings forth fear for what will happen to them and sadness at the inability to fix the problem. I will pray for You and Your Parents.

Thank you ladies so much. It's so wonderful to have you all here to listen.

I feel helpless. I can only do so much and it doesn't seem like enough. I guess especially by now we were expecting things to get better and they're really not.

I won't be there but wanted to say Happy Birthday!

I
So I'm another one asking for prayers and pixie dust.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Courtney. to your family.

My brother was laid off and hasn't found a job yet. .

To your brother, Dawn. Let's hope it gets better soon.

 

[fairykin]

I understand, Courtney. It is very hard. I wish I could make it all better as I know You wish You could make it better. We just have to keep a clear perspective { which is really hard when it's people you love} and believe things will get better, in whatever form better is.

Hang in there and know you can always talk to me when you are having a hard time.

Does anyone know if I can use my birthday ticket toward the price of an annual pass? I plan on buying one (my first ever ) but it would be nice to knock $69 off the price.

Next question is does anyone know if there is a vegitarian option at Blue Bayou? My mom and I are going to Disneyland on the 13th and I want to take her to Blue Bayou but I don't know if there's anything she would eat there if not then I want to do a character dinning but which is a good one, most likely will be breakfast and how much do they cost?

 

[toocherie]

I believe you can use the birthday pass towards an upgrade. And there is at least one veggie option at BB. I know Molly has had it but wasn't too keen on it.

Warning--the salad usually has meat in it so if she gets the salad tell them to leave the meat off!

I just got a call from Melody--she is home safe and sound and they had a WONDERFUL time at DLR and the GCH, but while she was gone there was a huge thunderstorm in her town and it "smoked" their computer! So until she gets it fixed she's going to be offline.

 

[CoMickey]

Courtney - I am sorry to hear about your parents struggle...It is very unfair that the people who have worked hard, paid their mortgages and bills are the ones that are being hit the hardest and are not eligible for any help! Warm thoughts and prayers coming your way that things will get better soon!

Steph - and for your puppy!

Sarah - We ate at BB with my DBF's picky vegetarian DD and we told the waitress and she brought out the chef who talked with her about her preferences and he came up with a really delishious creation for her! We were all so jealous! So just tell the waitress and see what they can come up with for you mom! Happy Early Birthday!!

Yay for those who's school year is ending soon. The kids here don't get out until June 17. That seems so late to me because in Colorado the kids all get out right around Memorial Day weekend.

My mom has her Dr. appointment tomorrow in Denver so we'll know more about her thyroid. I've been reading all I can find about thyroid cancer and I guess if you have to have a cancer that is the better one to have...I would rather there was NO cancer in the world and I hope someday in our lifetime there is a cure! I've lost a very good friend to breast cancer and my cousin lost her husband to cancer. I am trying to stay optimistic for my mom until we hear more tomorrow.

I know I've missed a lot of people but please know that regardless if things are good or bad I'm thinking of you all!

to everyone!!

HI EVERYONE!

I miss all of my girlfriends.

I'm getting so burned out with these classes. Well, not so much the classes, but all the writing. I mean it's writing, and writing, and more writing. I may as well be in a graduate journalism program, because that's what it feel like. When will the essay insanity STOP!

I haven't had time to do the dishes, or the laundry, or plan my boys' birthdays', or shave my legs. I sometimes think the amount of reading and work involved is a bit......over the top. Do I sound down? I am. As I said, I'm just burned out right now. It makes me want to cry.

Anyway, I wish I had time to catch up with all of my home girls. Big hugs to everyone!

Goodbye..........until I get another 5 minute breather.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Thanks for the info on BB. I think I'm leaning more toward the Character Breakfast with my mom but maybe DBF and I will eat ay BB on Saturday.

My neighbor across the street had thyroid cancer 25+ years ago--she has to take daily medication but otherwise does great (and she's in her early 70's).

Awww--we miss you too--but we're very proud of what you are doing!

Everyone--hope you've had a good day or are having a better evening.

Yes, I did it this year! Bring the email confirmation about your b-day because it makes it go easier. Tell the gal at the ticket booth what you want to do and they'll make it happen. Then you go to the bank at the circle before Main st to have your photo taken. The bank tends to be crowded early because of all the b-day people, but it will thin out later on. You must go at some point during the day before it closes.

I know how you feel about classes! I actually love writing essays... I'd be over it if I did them all of the time though.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day. Just found out I get an additonal day off. These mandatory days are eating away at my PTO.
