It's Getting Closer Every Day!
Yup it is! I started making a packing list yesterday while sitting at the chiropractors of the outfits I want to bring. Once I got to 12 outfits I realized I need to cut some out if I want to downsize how much luggage I bring! Think I've got a handle on it now, we'll see later tonight and tomorrow when I actually start putting things in the suitcase..........otherwise just a few odds and ends:
1. Got an interesting phone call yesterday from Amanda at Disney Guest Services. Well, Steve did. She was calling about our upcoming stay at WL and wanted to know if we had any questions or concerns regarding the refurb going on. We don't since I'm an awesome Diser and am totally up on it. But I thought it was pretty cool that they called. We've stayed at AKL, Poly, an BWV when a refurb of some type was going on and other than the standard issue refurb letter, have never received a call. Nice little touch!
2. Booked our hotel room for Friday night in HartfordAgain this was Steve and I didn't ask which hotel he booked because I was in the middle of watching one of my shows when he said he booked it and I can't be interrupted when my shows are on! Since it's not a Disney hotel, TV takes precedence.
3. Mom texted me earlier this morning that she's home from work today with a stomach bugHopefully it's a 24 hour thing or even a 48 hour thing and she's feeling better quickly! Not just because she's staying here starting Friday night, I don't like when mom is sick. We can always get one of my stepsons to stay here Friday but I'll feel better going if she's feeling better.
4. Unfortunately @Carathryn has off the 2 days we'll be in Epcot where she's working on the CPHow dare they give her off 2 days in a row lol! Maybe we'll still run in to each other but if not, there's always November!
5. Our 9a.m. ADR at Trails End is an hour before Kari and family's @kastoney on Sunday morning, so we're hoping to run in to each other. Yay for Dismeets!!
6. Not trip or Disney related at all, but yesterday morning Ricky had orientation for 9th grade. It hasn't hit me yet that he's going into high school, probably because I'm refusing to accept it! He still seems so young and still seems to need me so much (or so I like to think)! When it came time to walk around the school and locate his classrooms, he ditched me and walked around with a friend and a bunch of girlsOkay he didn't actually ditch me, us moms were trailing them but they were walking so fast and it was ungodly hot in that school, so two other moms and I decided to hang in an air-conditioned classroom and chat while they roamed the halls. I think it'll hit me on the first day, when I have to wake him up almost an hour earlier than last year to catch the bus at the ridiculous time of 6:33 a.m. What makes it worse is that I have to get up almost an hour earlier than last year to get him up to catch that bus!! Me likes me sleep!!!
Now I'm off to start making the house presentable for mom's stay and possibly do some packing in between running kids everywhere
I hope your mom feels better quickly so you can relax and enjoy this Disney trip!! Narrowing down the outfit choice for a trip is always so hard... Hopefully you're able to cut down on your luggage.
My wife has a horrible habit of telling me important things while I'm watching my shows, and clearly I do not hear any of it because shows. At least she doesn't take advantage of the fact I'm not listening and use it as an opportunity to order various online items I would poopoo normally if I were paying attention. I hope the hotel stay results in you getting more sleep before your trip!
And lol on your wife ordering stuff online while you're not paying attention! When Steve works nights he'll call me on his way home and depending on the show, I may not answer but instead wait until a commercial and call him back. Doesn't always make him happy but as you say - shows........
Obviously I do it but what I hate even more is when I actually have to shower and go somewhere right away! At least if I can chill after getting the kids to school I'm not as crabby. Now Ricky on the other hand I expect to be REALLY crabby by the time he gets home from school at 2:15 for the first couple weeks!
And while Chris and I drove to and from the orthodontist setting up his appt. to get braces.......now just waiting for mom to get here and Steve to get home from work!!
