Good Morning LADIES!!!!! Another quiet morning around here....Megs at VBS again today. I know I should be finishing laundry and get started on the packing for the trip, but I am SO not motivated to do that today at all!!!!
LL---look up online, but your iPod may just need to be reset. There are instructions out there somewhere....basically it needs to be rebooted, but there is a particular set of instructions for how to do that. Tom's iPod has had to be rebooted twice I think.....same type of symptoms with the no-turning-on thing. Good Luck!
Katie---what a wonderful news!!! I am still crossing all fingers and toes that you get your job....and even have more motivation for you now...to get on that cruise!!!
Speaking of Disney trips.....................
Tom and I had the most interesting conversation this weekend about a possible trip for us. As I have told you before, he is taking the 2nd week of August off and Megan still is not back in school yet, so I have been long hinting that we should GO SOMEWHERE SPECIAL for that week.....you know, as a celebratory end to Summer and to give her something to look forward to over the next month as she still deals with her cast...........and yes, he knew EXACTLY where I meant!!!! SO, the other day we were chatting about all the deals and discounts they have out right now and even discussed how low some of the DVC points are being rented out for.........and then he finally told me to start pricing it all out since he will be getting another bonus from work in August!!!!!!! I had to contain myself from doing backflips right there in the kitchen!!!!!!
SO yesterday, I was busy trying to make sense of all the discounts, which would be the cheapest, etc., etc., etc.............so now I have all these rates rolling around in my head and I am just praying that he finally gives the big OKAY soon!!!!!! I am TERRIFIED in a way of going in August---dealing with the crowds and the heat---but at the same time, it is Disney, and if I am going to be hot, I might as well be in my favorite place right?!?!?! AND, if we go that second week, I could see the MSEP and Nightastic, and even possibly Spectro and Wishes when they switch back!!!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE MY ENTHUSIASM!?!?!?!?!?!?
So as excited as I am about that possibility, I still have to deal with this trip to OBX that is now just LOOMING over us. I know I am awful for dreading a trip to the beach, but I am. I would rather let go of the money that we already spent and stay home, instead of going somewhere none of us really wants to go now, especially when we are going to be spending a heck of a lot more than we ever would normally due to Megan's limitations. I would MUCH rather that money be put towards the WDW trip. UGH!!! You all are going to laugh, but I actually had a nightmare about the trip last night, and I was so upset in the dream that I was crying for real---I woke up and my eyes were practically swollen shut from crying!!!! YIKES!
Another bit of reality hit us yesterday too.....we got the first bill for Megan's tuition for next year.....almost $400 a month!!!! YIKES!!!! I am really needing to get that job!!!

I know that is steep, but it is so worth it because her school is so good, and the alternative choice we have here is not appealing at all.
I hate reality sometimes!!!!
