January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part III !!!

[Monny2AE]

I can't believe how lucky you are that your 5 year old still takes naps! DD9 was done with naps before she was three, and DD6 was done shortly after 3! Enjoy your downtime!

I think she meant her daycare girl who is around 18 months, rather than her own kids. I wish my 4 year old son still took naps- he's playing Thomas trains quietly though while mommy has some down time.

WE'RE ALREADY AT PAGE 131?! Oh gosh!!

What has the World Series done to me?! I've seemingly fallen off the Earth for the past three weeks! Yikes.

I've really missed the DIS terribly! My trip's only 59 days away now (squee!) and I just made lunch reservations at Whispering Canyon Cafe for me and the DBF-sort-of for our free day, which is the 6th. I really want him to see Wilderness Lodge, since we weren't on property last time, and he's all outdoorsy and such. I finally got my InvisAlign braces off this Monday, and I just have to tell everyone, I'm so happy! Now that all the bonding and metal hooks are off my teeth (only metal in the back out of sight) I can start bleaching again! It took me 2 years instead of 6 months since InvisAlign messed up all the aligners!

Maggied can you believe it's time for Thanksgiving decor already! I feel like I just started school again. I can't wait for Turkey Day - it's one of the few things I can eat with my gastroparesis, and I never thought I'd appreciate so much a day dedicated to turkey and bread stuffing.

 

[Monny2AE]

Ugh I must have jinxed myself- now my little day care girl is up! Catch up with everyone later...I'll be dreaming of codes until then!

 

[BarbieGal457]

All this talk about napping sounds so lovely and inviting right now, though I don't think work would like me pulling a George Costanza and sleeping under my desk!!

Whoops! My bad. Thanks for setting me straight.

Got it now! I must have been pulling my bookmarked page! When i hit the refresh button, it magically appeared! It is like Christmas! I can't wait!

Yikes! I am actually considering going to bed early tonight so I can get up first thing & call......I just hope I don't get a tummy ache like I use to when I was a little girl!

Looks like no Pirate and Princess Parties in January. . .

This really bums me out! I was so looking forward to it.

I'm with you there, it's one of the boys's favorite things! I suppose it has something to do with cutting costs maybe???

Ithat! I have been getting addicted to this Snowbird group. Did I miss if anyone was organizing a mini-meets at WDW? Anyone ever participate in a fridge swap at Pop?
Come on discounts...I'm ready and waiting

I'm in POp Fridge swap and have done it 4 times now. It can be frustrating but it's great having that cold water for parks too.

 

[peach3es]

Oh, too bad for the kids being sick!! Hope they are on the mend soon. You better take care of yourself too! The mom is always the one who neglects herself and then when she gets sick, who takes care of her (and everything else)?
End of lecture.

We're still waiting and speculating on codes, (they're still nasty on the code watch thread), we got a few new snowbirds, we're relieved the election is over (regardless of candidate preference) and we're planning to watch Survivor tomorrow night. Sarah is a new aunt (neice), and JenJolt is "sick". I think that about covers it! Do you get Survivor over there? Oh, and there's a new Facebook group of Snowbirds. Check with Meghan on that.
There - you're all caught up.

Thank you for that concise summary! Glad to be caught up! Congrats, Sarah, on your new niece! Sorry, JenJolt, that you are "sick." And no, we don't get Survivor in real time here. THey might show older seasons on Israeli TV, but I'm not sure...

And I just got caught up on that code thread. Okay...this Mousesaver info has me so excited! And I can't find out until after work tomorrow! I'm teaching in the West Bank in the morning. 7am is 1pm here...I'll pick up the kids and head straight for my computer!

Carrie ... you need a hug

It's nice to get semi-caught up with you all! Now I've got a financial report to do before bed...I'll try to keep up better!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I should clarify and apologize. In my "summary" I said that Jen was "sick" I did not mean to imply that she wasn't ill, she did say she wasn't feeling well yesterday - but just that she had taken a sick day and was not simply laying around, but doing chores etc. I hope it was taken with the humor that I meant.

Sheree...don't even worry about it LOL!! I took it with good humor LOL!!!
In my defense...I was not feeling well yesterday so I put in for a sick day Today I'm feeling much better (might have been anxiety over thet election and lack of sleep) LOL!! But I needed a mental health day anyways so I'm glad I am "sick" today LOL!!!

Oh and the pantry did finally get cleaned..now I'm going to vacuum and dust...LOL

I think those are the best sick days to take. You do feel better faster when you aren't stressed!

Under that definition I think we are all a little "sick". What woman doesn't need one of those days to get caught up on all the "little" details?? BTW, does Dis qualify as "little details" Hope your enjoying your day!

 

[sarbah77]

I think DIS counts as little details. Mental health, after all!

CONGRATULATIONS! AUNTIE Sarah! I am an auntie 7x over and let me tell you - IT'S AWESOME! You get to love on them and spoil them rotten, and then give them back when they poop or cry! So glad the mom and baby are doing well!

Heehee... this is what I like! I am so looking forward to loving and spoiling and giving back. On my way back from a meeting, I just HAPPENED to end up at Steve & Barry's and I just HAPPENED to walk out with a onsie with the block M on the front AND a little cloth cap.

How'd that happen?!

(I have priority mail boxes at home, so I'll have it shipped tomorrow!!)
