You have completely earned this trip and I will do my absolute best to ensure you get plenty of R&R - cabana style!
Where is DUncle
????!!!! I am LOL, totally cracking up right now!
Hi Gals...Im back from my first day....WHEW im tired!!!! Ok it was uncomfortable and very weird sitting with a whole new school when i could see my old school sitting in a different area (we had a district wide mtg) Anyways, very overwhelming all the prep that goes into starting the school year! I cant wait til those kids come!!!! Thats what Im looking forward to!
Yes, I woke up at 1:30 and couldnt get back to sleep...my mind was racing! I was nervous but i met everyone and they are all really nice!
Chan...funny about the dream! its cause you have too much Disney on the brain!
I bet it will be great once the kids arrive...Get a good nights sleep
and that she's done with her surgery and treatment I read your most incredible story and it truly touched my heart... 
when I saw the photo of your boys sleeping it brought back wonderful memories I know you have some time but wishing you all a wonderful trip
I have enjoyed sharing my pre trip excitement!!! ( thanks for answering all of my questions and for the great ideas... ) and look forward to sharing a trip report and photos when we get back (unless DH gives in and lets the kids bring a lap top...) 
I have been trying to read and catch up, but it is amazing how far behind you get. Dawn I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you on school
I have to agree with Chan, when I met you I just thought you were awesome. You will be fabulous with those kids. They will be lucky to have you. Way to go on you chasing your dreams!! Also, way to go Joshua, that was so much fun this season!!!!
Shell, So glad you are having a great timeHe LOves it Chan , he has no clue that I bumped us to RPC behing his back...he is oblivious...but after they concierge guy met the car this morning he said "Wow! This is the way to go!" So I think RPC (Or at least SL, has a customer for life!!)
The kids are having a ball! I think the plder boys rode Space Mtn about 5 times in a row...alll walk on!!! They LOVED their Disney Florist Baskets that the concierge crew placed in the rooms for them before we got here!!! THAT WAS SO FUN!!!!! They were shocked (I promise some pics once I get home!!!)
The storm has not been had here, a little windy, quite a bit of rain, but not horrible...it has been fun and truly a great day!!!
Way to make the most of the weather. I have 4 kids also, I was wanting to know how do you all fit in GF? Do you have a suite? Thanks Evie

Im catching up before I have to go into school this morn.... 
Hello All!!! I have been away for awhile and have missed chatting with everyone. Life has been so crazy and I had to give up the Dis for awhile
Mandy and all of the girls in Florida on their tripsHope you all stay dry and safe. I have to agree that I like Disney when it rains. In July, we loved staying in the pool, we can't do that in Illinois!!! My sister lives in Florida, but is actually in Rockford, IL right now at my Mom;s. They just came back from Germany(where her husband is from) He had to go back and has never been through the Florida hurricanes and now he is there all by himself.
Channing Good luck with the getting up early. I am in the same boat. I work nights though, so being up early stinks, but I am ready to get all those kids back on a schedule. Also, you talking about the balloons, we have a huge balloon festival in our town this weekends. It is so cool. You see them out all week
My DS made his weight for FB this past weekend so he can play fullback, but it was a horrible thing to go through as a mother, The morning of his weigh in he was 99.8 at home and there he was 101.5 at the weigh in. He was devastated, but then his coach was able to talk them into letting him weigh again after his game. He had to play whole game with nothing to eat/drink and then run after game, he then was 99.5. The poor thing drank so much after that, but his appetite has yet to return. I told him next year we will not do this again. So, if he is over 115, too bad. I don;t know how any of you wrestling moms do this. He is at least set for season, it is really kind of stupid
Watching him and the Olympics has inspired me. I have decided to lace back up my running shoes and make a half marathon my goal, since I am not getting any younger. Hopefully, the disney 1/2 marathon. Anyone else up for it????
All have a good night, at least the gymnastics are over and I can turn off TV at decent time. Take care, Evie
It is slower but it is up! I swear I have never met anyone that got water in their phone lines. Our phones are still garbled sounding, but not as bad. Verizon is down the road again this morning. I tried to use my sisters desktop yesturday but her keyboard is jacked up, LOL! When you hit a "M" a "," appears! LOL! NOW I know why she always uses her laptop! 
I had a sore throat that turned into a cough and last night I got a fever and horrible headache. I took a handful of pills and went to bed at 9 and slept till 9:30. Whatever I took last night made me feel better but I still have a slight headache........ I have to ask my hubby what he gave me last night. I just got my Jojo back after she slept over at a friend's house 2 nights in a row so I had to spend some time with her and with DH....OH...DH got a haircut yesterday and the lady comes to our house so I was chit chatting with her while she was here. The evening just went....... I couldn't do it! Keep us posted on how it's going...and we do need to get together and go out to lunch on a weekend soon. OMG...OK...my Disney dream for the night involved Kelly. I don't even remember all what but she was there adn I was supposed to meet her somewhere in WDW and I was late and she was ticked. Does that sound like the Kelly we know? She had long Alice in Wonderland hair. I have toooooo much Disney on the brain. It's a sickness.
It didn't help that Jojo had me watching old movies from 1998 and 2001 of WDW and our family trips. OMG..It's so bittersweet. Lucy was a doll...like a little porcelain's doll with super pale blue eyes and white blond hair and such a cute chipmunk voice....and to see her and Zack together...she leaned into him and he put his arm around her and she just stayed like that.....*sigh*. They used to be so nice to eachother.
I hope your power goes on FAST. Let's hope the sun is out for you today.
And..lastly...Mandy!!! Hang in there!!! From what I was hearing from WDW it didn't sound so bad....so sorry to hear you are getting hit harder.
Chan
I did not know there were that many crazy people out there! I think we will stick with some 5k runs this winter and see what happens. Maybe 2010. My only reason for doing this is so I get another trip to WDW. What can dh say after I have spent hours getting ready for something like that. He can only say YES!
How about a half - mile? I can do that!!
It's a crazy time of year isn't it? And that is ridiculous about your son's weigh - in !! Poor guy and you too! How nerve wracking!! Same thing here but my DS is under 100 and is a wide receiver so he's fine.
The gymnastics were great - Nastia and Shawn Johnson are so good! Glad Shawn won a gold in balance beam final! I was up last night watching Misti May and Kerri Walsh win the gold in Beach Volleyball!! They are awesome! It was so cute when they interviewed them afterwards and asked what their plans are, they both said they were ready to have babies!!
Forgot to add I am sick
Have a great day!
Oh...I am going to Woodfield today. I am so not wanting to. And then soccer starts tonight!!!!! We are going to have a full week...soccer twice and dance twice and Lucy and her clubs every day..and more. ugh.
OK....I have to get ready to schlep my kids around Woodfield....i promised them Build aBear and i have limited 2 bucks and a Gap coupon...and a B&BW coupon....but i HATE that place...unless of course I am meeting friends at Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I will wind up at Rainforest...I just know it.
