[inkedupmomma]

Another Wal Mart hater over here! We don't have them in NYC but they're within driving distance unfortunately. I refuse to buy anything there no matter how cheap it is. I do love Target though lol

Hey I'm from Staten Island originally!!! HIII!

Hey I'm from Staten Island originally!!! HIII!

Gosh I have seen a LOT of people from the wretched island on these boards lol . You were lucky enough to escape!

In any case howdy neighbor

 

[Mom2Lindsey]

Great PT-
I'm just starting to read yours, but I figured I'd say hi.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

I HADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD To go to Wal-Mart yesterday. My youngest could not find one single lunch box that would work except for the one his friend had and of course, it was from Wal-mart. I survived. Barely.

 

[LuccaDrake]

Excellent finds on your shopping trip! I also despise Walmart, at least our local one. They are like Nazi's! I only go when I have to but I usually pay more for tp and that kind of stuff by getting it at the grocery store. What's a few more bucks to not have to step foot in there!

~Beka~

Thanks I agree, I would pay more just to avoid it! Thank the lord for Target!

Legally I'm stuck here until DS turns 18 or until my ex kick the bucket . Guess which one I'm hoping for

What?? why?? Do you have joint custody?? You've come to the right gal!! I can find ways around that for you lol!!!! My dd is not my Df Johns dd. So I know all about exes and custody. Luckily (well fo rme) he is a POS and I have all rights! Boy I just got deep on ya...sorry lol

DS' donor is a real POS as well. He actually moved to PA and doesn't want supervised visits (which is what he currently has) bc he says it isn't worth it to drive here to only see him for an hour! Hello? Any amount of time with a child that you love is worth the drive. We have been going back and forth with the terrible NY court system since DS was born 4 yrs ago. At this point I don't see an end in sight. I have custody, he has visitation. Last April (as in 14 months ago) his visitation was suspended, then switched to supervised bc he failed a drug test. We are also going to court over support bc he doesn't pay it. If you look up dead beat his picture is next to the definition.

Oh maybe our children share a father then But wait, why are you stuck in ny then?? It's not like you have joint custody and can't move. As long as you have residential custody, you can move wherever you damn please!! The only reason we haven't moved is because I would never let my daughter travel too far away from me! Move by me

Well aside from not wanting DS to venture off too far from me, PA doesn't have the music scene NY does. Ideally I would love to live in Manhattan. Unfortunately, unless I hit lotto that isn't likely to happen lol

Hey Inkedupmomma, I have been reading your thread, and haven't gotten all the way through, but I thought you may want to get autograph books for the kids (dollar store) so they can have all of the characters sign them. Also, since you wear black....disney store has black t's with neon colored characters (I got pooh and tink) and they aren't too cheesy! Also, when I got mine, they were 4.99 (online and in the store). I am going for the first time since 1972 next November (2009) with dh, dd (will be nearly 3), and ds (will be nearly 6). I am enjoying your pre-trip! Laughing too, which is good.

Oh, NYC is way over rated. and once ds is older you'll be wondering if you ever had any scene at all does that make me sound bitter?? i became a mom at 19, so my scene life was short lived!! unless of course you are an actress or musician

We def do plan on buying autograph books! DD loves the one she got last time. we will getthem when we are there though. it adds to the excitemnt and makes them feel liek they got lots of souvenirs.. plus i just love handing my money over to disney as for disney clothing.. I just can't bring myself to do it. I could possibly do a Nightmare before christmas shirt, but that is it. I did cave and buy dd a black wife beatery loooking tank top with tink on it at target the other day for like $5.99 though. Ds also has cars pajammas, and df has a vintage mickey t-shirt. But thats about as far as we go. thanks for the heads up though. I feel like all disney does is run "sales" my inbox is full of codes for ordering online lol. When you go it will be a perfect age for dd and for ds!!! Thanks for joining my ptr..

Soo.. my grandma is in the hospital. She went in Wed. night and is now in ICU. It started off with her blood pressure being ridiculously low, and now she is bleeding every time she has a bm. She had an endoscopy (sp?) done today (they put a camera down your throat into your belly to look around) The results showed nothing there. That's good.. maybe.. now she has to have a colonstapy (again sp?) to see if there is anything wrong there (maybe a tear in the intestine??) Hoping it's nothing there as well. Idk why but I just have this terrible feeling. I asked her to stay strong and not do anything dumb like pass away right before my trip(my grandma is not your typical old lady, so i can say stuff like this).. cause to be honest, i will prolly lose my mind and be nuts for a good couple years if anything happens, as will my children.

Ok on to brighter things so i don't lose it right now. This sunday we are going shopping..again. This time for John and myself..only (yeah right ) ok well thats the plan anyways. We both need new sneakers, and possibly sandals. I need new undies. We are looking for a gps, since ours got stolen the day after xmas last year!! did i mention it was the gift santa brought us!(aka, we bought it for ourselves and signed santa so the kids wouldnt get suspiscous!)What else.. ok how about this.. my trip is only 16 days away!! i'm down to weeks!!! that seems to unreal after planning this for almost 2 years.. well officially since january, but talking about it for almost 2 years. The more I think about it the more emotional I get.. I'm def going to cry when we leave to go there ,when we get there,while we are there, and then when we leave..oh and when we get home! Its so rare that we get to let our hair down and do whatever we want. Disney allows just that. No pressure to look cool, or have the latest and greatest clothing,shoes,gadgets, whatever.. that can be associated with many other kids of trips. no need for the perfect beach body, no need to be all high class and look important on your blackberry.. no nothing.. just eating, and being a kid! I cant EFFING wait!! Maybe I'll start packing next week??

On another lousy note, I got the letter in the mail telling me who my dd's 2nd grade teacher was going to be...and don't you know its the teacher we were both dreading!! not only that, but the one parent I absolutely hate has a dd in the same class.. what luck!! I normally don't hate people, but this lady is such a bitc* it is ridiculous!! she talks down to me and tries to make herself look better then me. Says things like"well your a baby, and don't have the expirience I have" Uhm boo, we both have 7 year old daughters... what more expirience with children do you have..plus a nanny raised her dd for 5 of her 7 years.. so please tell me what more you know about kids then I do?? Oh and I am a nanny and have been working with children for over 12 years.. so yeah. As you can see I get in a nutty fit when I even think about this lady!! did I mention when she said all this it was over cream cheese ghost sandwiches for the halloween party in kindergarten?? and in addition to the snide remark, she said how she had PR expirience with big coopertaions.. wow great.. so did you make a big fit over your cream cheese ghosts there too?? oh and the best part of all this, is she touched my face when she said, "oh your just a baby".. I hate when 40 something moms are jealous of 20 something moms. It's ageism and just plain dumb!! I get it OFTEN so I'm getting more and more used to it. But it still sucks. Doesn't help that I am tattooed i suppose?? or that I'm not married.. or that I have two different baby daddies,or that i don't own a home.. or that i don't own a lexus suv like most of them do (nor would i ever, even if I could) So in conclusion.. i have no clue where my post is going, but I feel better now!! sorry I don't have more disney updates... I feel like there is stuff to be done..but idk what... it will hit me all last minute i'm sure

 

[MomsOf2boys]

I hope your grandma is well soon...

Hang in there... seems like when it rains it pours doesn't it? Soon you will be at disney and it sounds like you could really use a vacation right now!!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Prayers that your grandma is feeling better soon.

Shopping sounds like fun. We are having out of town company so I can't do any shopping this weekend and we're down to 2 weeks and 2 days. Let us know what you end up buying!

Hope to see you at DAK!

 

[bigdisgrandma]

I have read the first 4 pages and I am loving reading about your planning, worries, excitement, and everything including your great family. I am so glad you posted on our wish trip ptr so I could catch yours! I loved your comment about people and complaining about money and then shopping on the internet! I also loved the credit cards=sinning. I am lots older than you are but we hardly ever use our credit cards and when we do I always feel guilty.

I'll read the rest later tonight. We might be at AK on the same day. Lindsey, my daughter (bigdismom) keeps telling me we need to make a schedule but I am not good at writing it down. I do know that we get there on Sept 10th. Then we will go to SeaWorld on the 11th, MK, BBB and MNSSHP on Sept 12. Then I think AK on Sept 13 and after that, I am kind of a fuzz but I'll get it sorted out. It's not like it's my first trip or anything

Anyway, keep up the nice work.

I love Manhattan, just HATE Staten Island. I became a mom at 20, so I feel your pain of ageism. I experience it EVERY freakin day. I manage to balance my scene life with my every day life pretty equally. It helps having a part time job in the music industry lol
