Girls Only~ OLD THREAD, new one linked in first post

[mommaU4]

I go through these same emotions each year. The nerves haven't hit yet, but I'm sure they'll hit full strength about Tuesday. That's when I start asking my dh if he's sure I should go, and maybe I should just cancel, and oh, I think I might be getting sick, or the kids are getting sick, and what on earth was I thinking leaving the kids for this long?? My mind really takes me for a ride. I hate it.

I'm glad it's not just me. Just last night I told Ruben that I didn't have to go, that since he had the time off I could stay home and we'd all hang out here together. I kept saying how much I'd miss him and the kids, and how loooooong the trip is, etc.

He of course just smiled and told me to go have fun. Which I AM looking forward to. And I DO want to see everyone. And I KNOW we are all deserving of this time, but............. I'll be a mess that morning saying good bye.

Oh, I better stop this talk right now before I start crying!!

We can get a whole group of us walking slow together, and tie up the whole walkway in Adventureland....it must be fun since everyone else loves doing that!

Yay, we get to be as annoying as everyone else is.

 

[Queenbillabong]

Oh, I am good at being whiney!!!


SWEET


Good I'm glad it's not just me. LOL I am guessing it's a store. No shopping or souvenirs for me this time. My splurge will be the Mickey buffet.
But Jill, how nice of you to offer this.

Helloooo, I did tell ya what it is (look down) ..... Ignoring me again

Company D is a cast member Disney product store.

Cool! (Do people even say that anymore?) We can get a whole group of us walking slow together, and tie up the whole walkway in Adventureland....it must be fun since everyone else loves doing that!



That's funny! Thanks friend! I can be naggy and whiny at the same time, so Beth will feel like she's right at home with us!

The cool people still say cool I agree, let's clog up Adventureland - sounds like a plan to me

 

[mommaU4]

Hahahaha.... yeah, we can do that for ya, Beth. I'm practicing... "Buy me an ice cream. I'm tired. I'm cold. I'm hot."

Oh you are too good at that. lol
I am thinking about seeing that movie. We rarely go to the movies so when we do, we like to make it worth the $$, kwim? It seems good..... We'll see.

Helloooo, I did tell ya what it is (look down) ..... Ignoring me again

I'm sorry, did you say something?? Are you posting again?? Please stop.





I'm still out of reach!!! For now. lol

 

[mommaU4]

It's my bedtime!!!

Hope y'all have a good day tomorrow. No clue what we are doing since my inlaws are in town, but I'm sure we'll end up out somewhere.

Night ladies!

 

[DangerMouse]

Thanks! You all are so good to me.

What are you two reading?

We're reading the 3rd and final book of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. It's fantasy, and along the same vein as the Twilight series. It's really good, but I'm a slow reader (can you say "distracted easily?") and Dan can speed read his way through a novel in a few hours. I'm losing for sure.

 

[Queenbillabong]

Not for long, missy


Donna - good job on the whining It will feel just like home

 

[jordansmomma]

It's okay - no Diva gets left behind!! I'll hold an umbrella over you and keep you dry. No way am I running anywhere, so it's all good. Wanton Wenches forever



Don't worry - I'll nag you and call you mom every five seconds if it makes you feel any better You can do the same for me - but make it nice and whiney, 'K???

Don't worry, I will follow both of you. Mom, can I have? Mom, can I go?? Mom, can I......Mom, please just this once..........

 

[Queenbillabong]

Don't worry, I will follow both of you. Mom, can I have? Mom, can I go?? Mom, can I......Mom, please just this once..........

You're familiar with the whine too LOL!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Oh, we hit a new milestone in my house this week...Nathan is talking back! Today when I told him no more Mickey Mouse, he wagged his finger at me and told me emphatically, "Nathan says YES!!!" It's good to see him coming out of his shell...at least for now!

OH, and I've been practicing my whining on my DH. "I'm hot", "I have to pee", "I'm cold", "I'm hungry", "I have to pee", "I want a Big Mac", "I have to pee...again", "I'm tired", "My hip hurts", "I have to pee", "My ankle's swollen", "I'm thirsty", "I have to pee", etc.

 

[BillyFan]

Hi girls! I'm at my sis in law's for the night and couldn't read all the way back on my phone. I did see Jill4 offer, and I'd love to go with you! I just need to talk to my momma and see if it fits in our schedule. When are you planning on going, Jill?

That sounds interesting. I didn't make it through the Twilight books though, are these better?

 

[jordansmomma]

Ah, I see (said a past Bruin - ahem). I think you can order usc shirts online.http://www.walmart.com/ip/USC-Troja...0000003260430&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=11137064 that is just one of many when I checked... 13.99 from walmart.

And am feeling that about the SOUP too....

I want to say that one of the best days I had at DL was a rainy day. I came prepared with a rainjacket with hood, and it wasn't a deluge. It kept the crowds away, it wasn't too hot like other days, and the lines were super, super short!!

I will check that out. Thanks. Oh he is way obsessed! He checks out the majors every week there.

You're familiar with the whine too LOL!

Just a little bit.....

Yesterday it went something like this....Hey mom..........American Eagle is having a sale on jeans....oh and buy one shirt & get 50% off the other one...What do you think mom??? Please mom? I will...blah blah blah......

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Oh you are too good at that. lol

lol

It's worth it. Just wanted to be sure you knew it was in the scary/almost horror category. We went at the matinee hours to get the better rate.

Not for long, missy


Donna - good job on the whining It will feel just like home

She's good.

That is so good to hear Nathan can now talk back. Can I be around when you're really sorry that he can?

TINA - "I'll have to check their hours next week but it is usually 8-8.
I'm thinking possibly Thurs between POTC and the M&G, Fri before lunch, Sat - not sure depending on work, Sun morning." from Jill. PM her your choices.

I wish I had this problem - really.
Anyway, if you google usc shirt you'll see a ton of choices. Or just say usc clothing if you want other stuff.

 

[disney-inspired]

I guess I need to make myself available for target runs after I made fun of everyone watching the weather so closely!!

But really pack a couple short sleeves, 1 long, a poncho, one zip, two shoes, and a couple extra socks....it'll work out!! No one will care if you wear the same outfit two days...for reals!!

I am going to be super loaded since I am bringing things like my ironing board and iron...some of you still need your iron on...yes?

I am bringing a case of water and a couple of gallons, should I be bringing anything else roomies?
Oh, and I am bringing tons of Girl Scout Cookies......for all that ordered!!!!!!!

AmyOkraSue

Yay for cookies and iron ons!

Hey now, I promised Stacie and Cristabel I would do their Iron ons for them....it was a nice thing, not a crazy one!!

Yup, an awesome thing

I don't iron either. Kerry, Donna, and Vicki saw that!!

I think I'm going to need to change my candy selection that I picked for the candy buffet. I can NOT find candy buttons (on the paper) ANYWHERE (except online, too late for that). I'll PM you tomorrow Cristabel.

So PFF does NOT open at the same time as the park does? I don't want to be at PFF all alone super early at opening.

Don't worry about the candy, find something you like and grab it!

Hahaha
I laugh at you and Beth because my mom has no problem leaving us for vacations with my dad. She deserves so I'm not really bothered by it and then she gets back we're actually happy to be around each other.
I guess you guys might feel that way when your kids are my sister's and my age. You'll be happy to see us go or go away yourselves. My parents get away twice a year. Once for their anniversary and then again in the fall.

Same thing at my house. I love my getaways. My kids are like are you leaving yet???

Same thing here! They usually leave us money so we can do things like go to museums, arcades, mini golf etc. It's fun!

 

[cheshiregirl]

Count me as another mama sad to leave her family behind. Ty is still at an age where he doesn't understand that when I'm gone for a day or more that I'm coming back eventually, kwim? Also, we've had two weeks of good behavior at school and I'm afraid that the change in routine will make him backslide as I have seen just how easily he is rattled by change, and this will be the longest I have been away from home since summer.

And, I know just how much energy it takes both Dave and me to keep up with Ty, so the idea that Dave is doing it alone for 6 days so that I can go makes me feel guilty.

But, once we are there it will all be good--although I tend to avoid calling home 'cause it makes me cry. Then again, just listening to the CD I made for last year's trip made me cry the other day too. It was the song "Welcome". The song has always gotten me a little misty eyed, but the lyrics struck a new chord with me.

There's a bond between us, nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life,
and seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too...
so come on

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking to the
friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know and best of all
We're happy to share it all

Remembering loved ones departed
Someone dear to your heart
Finding love, and planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget

And with that, I wish you all a good night...
