If the murse is wrong, we don't want to be right! 27 days- holy smoke!

Thanks, I had to crop the photo a bit as it was a shock to see such a huge spare tyre around my middle

I think you look terrific. Do you think they are trying to spice up your love life by giving you Ben Wa balls for your trophy? Just a thought.




How is everyone today? I cannot say how fabulous taking the Frontrunner to work has been! Not having to sit in traffic to and from work and saving the $8 a day in fuel is awesome! I am able to decompress after work which enables me to relax when I get home. My kids are happier too.

Hooray for public transit! Just think--the money you save on gas can be used for WDW!
Does frontrunner add significantly to your commute time? I would love to be able to take trax, but once I drive to the trax station, get off downtown and catch a bus (or climb the hill ) to work, I'd be looking at double or triple my normal commute time.

I've been thinking of riding frontrunner just for fun some time. Trains are cool.

It doesn't cut down on my commute time at all, it feels the same and might even be a few minutes longer, however, my stress level has decreased dramatically so the extra 15 minutes is well worth it. The train is very relaxing really. It's clean, the people are nice, and I have decreased my verbage of naughty words by over half. I don't think I told one person to piss off since the last time I drove to work.

Then it's definitely worth the 15 extra minutes! I'm sure the kids enjoy a happier, more relaxed mom after work.

They seem too. What they'll love is the extra money for WDW stuff.


How's work and baby D?

How's work and baby D?

Work is good--I like being back. Today's a work from home day, and so I'm trying to get everything done, keep the baby entertained, and clean the house a little bit. That's the good thing about working at the office -- you don't have to stare at your dirty dishes the whole time!

You can work from home? Where do I sign up?

Awww bless, thanks Oh and can't believe I'm going to say this but David has a theory, every competition I play the day after a ummm good night I do well, so he's convinced that it's making me win and when I've got 3 competitions this week and 3 again next week he's a very happy boy

Wow baby is at home when you work from home????

 

[Bev1016]

I don't know if it would go over so well in your line of work -- I'm guessing it would be hard to load everyone in your bag and take them home!

Wow baby is at home when you work from home????

Yep. He's in his pack-n-play talking to the animals in the mobile right now. I'm supposed to do about four hours a day at home, and it usually takes me ALL DAY (until about midnight) to finish it all, but it's worth it to be able to stay home.

Disneyland is so close!!!

No wonder David "works" so much so you can play golf. We women are givers like that.

When I thinked the CEO for putting this all together (the Frontrunner for mega-cheap, $30 for 6 months) and he said that he's happy to help reduce my road rage. At least I'm not fake!

You are a good mommy! It's a hard act to juggle.

How are you? How's your summer? How's your new place? Do you have a water view?


Disneyland is so close. I am still struggling with how I am going to swing it financially but I haven't given up hope.

I'm good. Summer has been relaxing so far. It's nice not having to work for over 2 months. The new apartment is GREAT! And I do have a water view. I posted pics in my ptr.

I hope everything works out financially with Disneyland.

Have you decided where you're staying next year?

Make the most of it, he won't stay there happy for long

We sure are

OMG $30 for 6 months travel!!!!!! If I worked in London and went by train (it takes just under an hour) it would cost over $8k a year

I hope it works too and I really want to go but not bad enough to put it on credit. I'll still have to pay for my airline tickets but they'll be good for a year. They are through Jet Blue.

Next year is still kind of up in the air but for now we are looking at the OKW GV or AKV GV. I'd really like the OKW because it's as big as the finished part of my home, almost 3,000 sq ft! if we don't get that then we are hoping for the AK GV. If both those fall through then possible do the WLV. I'll be totally jolly with any of the above mentioned. We were thinking about doing a cruise mid way through the trip but we have since found out there will be a shuttle launch on that Friday so we'd rather do that. I am not a huge cruise person and can't really justify the cost. After the DVC portion of the trip, I am looking at the Poly, FW Cabins, WL, or AK. I am debating getting an AP to get the DDE and AP discounts on food and merchandise. I am in planning overdrive.

OMG $30 for 6 months travel!!!!!! If I worked in London and went by train (it takes just under an hour) it would cost over $8k a year

Really, 8k? How far did you travel? I am 22 miles each way. The $30 sounds better than ever!

How exciting that you've got a big trip in a month! I'm really interested in hearing more about the CR. Have you stayed there before?

When I thinked the CEO for putting this all together (the Frontrunner for mega-cheap, $30 for 6 months) and he said that he's happy to help reduce my road rage. At least I'm not fake!

So that's (pardon my nerdy love of math) roughly 17 cents a day compared to $8 a day -- what a bargain! Plus, I feel safer driving to work knowing you aren't out there with all of your rage.

You are a good mommy! It's a hard act to juggle.

Thanks! It's definitely worth it, but I don't know you do it with more than one kid! I salute all you moms of more than one out there!

Disneyland is so close. I am still struggling with how I am going to swing it financially but I haven't given up hope.

Don't stop believin' Jenny! :

Make the most of it, he won't stay there happy for long

Isn't that the truth! He turns three months tomorrow--before I know it, he'll be 16!

Have a great night everyone!

Me too, tell us more!

It's close to that. I am giving the girl who picks me up from the Woods Cross station $10 a week. It's on our way to work but it doesn't feel right not giving her anything. There is no busline from the station to the hospital so my other options would be to walk 17 blocks or get off the train in Farmington and take the bus to the hospital. Neither one sound appealing. Our CEO and SDCH's CEO are working feverishly with UTA to have them put in a busline. Keep your fingers crossed. And my road rage is almost nil.

Thanks! It's definitely worth it, but I don't know you do it with more than one kid! I salute all you moms of more than one out there!

Before you know it, you'll be announcing that Baby D is expecting a sibling. I know it seems unfathomable right now.

Don't stop believin' Jenny! :

Now I am going to have an earworm of Steve Perry all day.

Isn't that the truth! He turns three months tomorrow--before I know it, he'll be 16!

Have a great night everyone!

3 months? OMGosh, that went fast!!! Feel free to send new pics, he's adorable!!!

You are definitely in planning overdrive! We're looking into staying in a villa next year also. They'll be 5 adults and 2 kids, so we want a kitchen and SPACE!

The shuttle launch sounds exciting. I wouldn't want to miss that either.

The Poly is GREAT! We love it. It's so tropical and relaxing. AKL and WL look amazing also! And the FW Cabins seem like lots of fun.

I know. I can't help it. I read my 2007 Passporter on the train each morning.

The villas look awesome. The OKW GV is the largest and the least expensive too. If we stay there before your trip, I'll give you an honest review.

The Poly is so beautiful Which resorts have you stayed at?

Oh I never worked in London, too dirty but my DSis does! I just went onto the rail website and a day return to London would cost about $60!!!!!

Isn't that the truth! He turns three months tomorrow--before I know it, he'll be 16!

It really does go fast and as much as everyone tells you it does, we never listen
