[OregonDisneyFanatic]

Jen tell Jon Happy Birthday arty:

 

[Goofyluver]

I last left you with Jon bragging to his friend about what a cool mom he has. I’m his mom, by the way. The same mom who gave him a trip to the World for his 6th grade graduation. And I’m cool like that. Ignore the twelve year old raising and flailing his hand about in the background…who gets embarrassed when I shake what my mama gave me in the middle of Wal-mart or as I drive down I-40. He also gets embarrassed when I use VERY cool words like: dude, whatev, sweet, bro……….I’m down. He just don’t know it. Apparently, sweet dudes over the age of 15 ain’t suppos’ to use words like that bro. Whatev.

Jon wakes up the day after the reveal, Saturday, May 24th with a look in his eye.

What look you may ask?

An “I’M SO EXCITED I COULD PEE” look?

Nope.

An “I JUST GRADUATED FROM 6TH GRADE AND I’M AWESOME” look?

Nope.

An “I HAVE SUCH A COOOOOOL MOM” look?

Nope.

It was an “I’M SICK AS A DOG” look.

Uh-oh.

This was not in the plan. And we can’t deviate from the plan.

We were supposed to get up this morning and drive to my mother’s house in Albuquerque…3 ½ hours away from our home…and where we would fly out from to the Happiest Place on Earth in t-minus 48 hours.

I quick threw Jon in the shower and told him to wash off the stink.

I quick drove Jon’s friend home and made him jump from the moving car.

And we were off.

To the doctor.

On a Saturday.

2 days before we were flying on a PLANE!

We walk in the Saturday clinic and I let the lady in the front office know I ain’t playin. I…I mean Jon…needs drugs and he needs them now.

We actually get back to the room rather quickly. The doc walks in and this is what I say:

“Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m the coolest mom in the world. I just gave my boy a trip to Disney for his 6th grade graduation. Yes, yes, stop the applause. I’m just cool like that bro. And we fly out in less than 48 hours. And he has a sinus infection. Examine him if you like…but I know what’s wrong. We need 500 mgs 3 times a day of Amoxicillin. Stat. Thanks sweet dude.”

The doctor quick looks over Jon with a fine-tooth comb. She comes up for air about 10 seconds later and says:

“Hmmmmm…my very complicated and educated diagnosis is that Jon here has a sinus infection and we need to start him on 500 mgs of Amoxicillin 3 times a day ASAP so you can fly out without his head exploding at 34,000 feet in less than 2 days.”

“Seeeee…told ya’,” I said.

We quick picked up Jon’s script and headed outta town. To my motha’s. So I could prep myself for her presence before being locked in the small state of Florida with her with nowhere to escape to.

When we got to Albuquerque Saturday afternoon, I gave Lexie her Fairy Godmailing inviting her to WDW. Although…Lexie had pretty much already guessed that we were going to WDW weeks before. So, all she said was:

“Seeeee…told ya’!”

Pfffft.

We spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday relaxing. So Jon could be allllll better for our trip on Monday.

I knocked Jonathon out at about 8:00 on Sunday night and I tried to get to bed early. I really did. But I had the Disneywiggle with a side of Disneybelly. I think I finally met zzzzzzz’s at about midnight. And we had to be up at 4 AM.

Monday, May 26th…3:00 AM…

BAAAAAMMMMM! THUUUUUUUMP!

Me: Mmmmmmm…wha’ du heck wuz dat?

Jon: owwwWWWWWWWEEEEEEEE!

I quick jump outta bed. Jon is lying on the floor on the other side of the room. He has fallen out of bed and hit his head on the pointy corner of the side table on his way down. Only my kid. He can’t make a basket…but he can smack his head on the side table…in the dark…while falling…

He’s grabbing his head. A lump has already formed on the back of his head.

“Jon…are you okay baby?”

“Yup. But, I’m tired.”

He quick gets up and gets back in bed.

Soooooo many thoughts were running through my head. What if he has a head injury? A concussion? Should I take him to the hospital? If I’m going to…we need to go now…before the plane ride. Wait…what about the plane? What if he’s bleeding internally and his head explodes in route? Should I let him sleep? Don’t they say swelling on the outside is better than swelling on the inside? What if he broke his skull????? AAAAAAAUUUUGH!!!!

So, I do what I do best…and I hover over him.

I keep flicking on the light and feeling his lump.

He keeps opening one eye and telling me to leave him alone.

The lump is definitely growing. I think it’s now the size of a toddler. Ok…so it wasn’t growing. But, it totally could have.

I didn’t go back to sleep in case his head exploded while my eyes were closed.

4:00 AM rolls around and I decide to get up and shower. I was going to let Jon sleep off his very bad head injury and concussion while I got ready. I tiptoe outta the room…towards the bathroom…AND…

Oh crap. I forgot my clothes. I turn around to go back to the room and…

“AAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH!”

It’s Jon…right in my face…and I hadn’t heard him.

He’s up too. I quick ask him to recite his name, address, phone number, age, and tell me the answer to 12 times 42. I don’t know the answer…and neither does he…so if he gives me an answer…he definitely definitely has a head injury. He tells me to go fly a kite and leave him alone.

We get ready lickety split. Jon tells me to stop messing with his lump. It’s tender, but it’s not huge and he seems to be okay.

We leave the house by 5:15…in two cars. Because we packed so much luggage we can’t fit it and us all in one car.

We stop by my brother’s house to pick up Lexie. And we’re at the airport by 6:00.

Here’s the kidlets in Albuquerque. Notice the large lump on the back of Jon’s head. You can’t see it??? Oh…shucks…

Our plane takes off at 7:45. This is Lexie’s first time on a plane. As we’re lifting off, I hear this from her seat in front of us:

“BLAAAAAST OFFFFF!”

Here’s the little princess on her first plane ride.

And outside the window…

We land in Houston at 11:00. Jon’s head did not explode…in case you were wondering.

We grab lunch and wait for our next plane at 1:15.

Here’s the kidlets waiting in Houston…

We take off on time. Score.

Just over 2 hours later…at 4:30 PM local time…we land at DISNEY WOILD…as Lexie says. Jon’s head still didn’t explode.

And my mother starts…as we’re disembarking the plane…

“So, ummmm…how do we make sure we get our luggage? Because…I need my clothes. And so does Lexie. How do you know this really works? Because if they lose our clothes you’re paying for it. I totaled up all of my possessions in my 100 pounds of suitcases and it comes to $14,872. Just for your information. I will charge you interest of 1600 percent.”

And I’m not kidding about her luggage. When we were checking our luggage in Albuquerque, she hoisted her bags up onto the scale and they came out at 50.7 and 47 pounds respectively. The Continental lady told her not to buy anything while in Florida.

We head straight to ME…all the while my mother nagging me right in my ear.

I am through ME in about 20 minutes.

I quick run and grab Jon, Lexie, and the motha. We’re on the red carpet and we’re directed to the SSR line.

Only…wait…where are the 50 people in line in front of us…like at ASMusic???

There’s no one. Just us.

Hmmmmm…rich people have it guuuuud.

We walk straight through the line…and the craziest thing happens…

The CM leads us straight to a bus.

Rich people have it reeeeeaaaal guuuuud.

Within 15 minutes…we’re off.

And my motha still won’t leave me alone.

“You just remember………. wahwahwahwahwahwah$14,872wahwahwahwahyou’refaultwahwahwahwahwahwahwahI’llhateyouforeverwahwahwahwahwahwahIcan’tbelieveIgavebirthtoanidiotlikeyou…...”

I told her to fake a smile and not think about her future lawsuit against me.

Sooner…rather than later…this is what we see…

Up Next: Lost Losers and The Motha Is The Loudest One Of All!!!

[DisneyJo]

OMG Jen another hilarious installment, I'm going to attempt to quote some bits but it was all so funny

Apparently, sweet dudes over the age of 15 ain’t suppos’ to use words like that bro. Whatev.

They're not???? Wasn't it us that spoke like that first?

It was an “I’M SICK AS A DOG” look.

Oh no, plus I never knew there were so many looks

“Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m the coolest mom in the world. I just gave my boy a trip to Disney for his 6th grade graduation. Yes, yes, stop the applause. I’m just cool like that bro. And we fly out in less than 48 hours. And he has a sinus infection. Examine him if you like…but I know what’s wrong. We need 500 mgs 3 times a day of Amoxicillin. Stat. Thanks sweet dude.”

Mum's know best!

But I had the Disneywiggle with a side of Disneybelly. I think I finally met zzzzzzz’s at about midnight. And we had to be up at 4 AM.

I get that too, it's like Christmas Eve isn't it

He can’t make a basket…but he can smack his head on the side table…in the dark…while falling…

I was and at this post!

What if he broke his skull????? AAAAAAAUUUUGH!!!!

OMG what if????

Notice the large lump on the back of Jon’s head. You can’t see it??? Oh…shucks…

Sorry nope

I totaled up all of my possessions in my 100 pounds of suitcases and it comes to $14,872. Just for your information. I will charge you interest of 1600 percent.”

She didn't??? And did they charge her extra for having such heavy cases?

Rich people have it reeeeeaaaal guuuuud.

They sure do

 

[jcc0621]

Poor John...Glad his head didn't explode

Lexie looks so happy to be going to WDW

As usual you have me

 

[PrincessV]

Okay. First of all, this update should have come with a warning. Or at least some Bounty. 'Cause it was a million different shades of FUNNY... and you owe me a monitor. You can pay it on an installment plan. At 1600 percent interest.

He also gets embarrassed when I use VERY cool words like: dude, whatev, sweet, bro……….I’m down. He just don’t know it. Apparently, sweet dudes over the age of 15 ain’t suppos’ to use words like that bro. Whatev.

Dude. Since when is "dude" not cool? But I hear "phat" is the new cool. Fo shizzle. Ish.

“Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m the coolest mom in the world. I just gave my boy a trip to Disney for his 6th grade graduation. Yes, yes, stop the applause. I’m just cool like that bro. And we fly out in less than 48 hours. And he has a sinus infection. Examine him if you like…but I know what’s wrong. We need 500 mgs 3 times a day of Amoxicillin. Stat. Thanks sweet dude.”

He’s up too. I quick ask him to recite his name, address, phone number, age, and tell me the answer to 12 times 42. I don’t know the answer…and neither does he…so if he gives me an answer…he definitely definitely has a head injury. He tells me to go fly a kite and leave him alone.

Again!

Oh my!

We land in Houston at 11:00. Jon’s head did not explode…in case you were wondering.

PHEW! But. Did your motha's?

"So, ummmm…how do we make sure we get our luggage? Because…I need my clothes. And so does Lexie. How do you know this really works? Because if they lose our clothes you’re paying for it. I totaled up all of my possessions in my 100 pounds of suitcases and it comes to $14,872. Just for your information. I will charge you interest of 1600 percent.”

I had a feeling!

 

[betsywdw]

Awesome update! Whew, that was a scary couple of days before the trip with the sinus infection and the head injury! So glad he was ok! Loving your trip already! I can't believe her luggage weighed that much

 

[princessjv]

Jen, you are almost there!

Isn't it just the luck that someone always gets sick before or during a trip! To top it off, a head injury too. At least you checked him closely. What I learned in Disney when my ds got a big bonk kn the bus (and since has bumped at school)... if that if it swells it is a good thing. That way you know it isn't swelling inward. Good thing he had that bumpity bump.

I so hope your motha's things made it to the resort.

 

[Miz Diz]

Thanks for all the laughs. And you ARE the bestest mom in the world, next to me.

 

[puggymom]

OMG fantastic update Jen. Motha is cracking me up.

Oh and I'm glad Jon's head didn't explode.
