Jen~ I'll get him right on that!!! He's so cute!!! What's so odd is that he's soooo quiet most of the time. Then when he gets on something he likes----WOW the conversation is unbelievable--he almost forgets to breath!!! The info that kid has stored up is unreal---I nicknamed him the professor when he was about 3. I want to get him a pair of glasses with clear lenses and a lab coat-for him to wear when he does his projects!! That would be soooo cute!!!! He's also a Lego inventor!!! He kills me

Becky- I think the migraines are air pressure related--I got a bad one when Ike came through. I could go to work for NASA!!! Just use me as a barometer.

Howdy Snowbirds!

I'm enjoying all the southern snow stories! How magical!
We had our first flurries on Saturday--stuck to the grass but not the roads, and disappeared quickly.

I went back to the doctor this morning ...he diagnosed an ear infection on Monday and I've been on antibiotics. The pain is mostly gone but I can hardly hear at all! So this time he prescribed nasal spray to try to clear out the fluid. Sorry, probably TMI!

Unlike many of you, I still have a LOT of holiday shopping to do , so I'd better get to it! Especially the things that need to be mailed! Thanks for the ideas on DS games.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Hope you get better soon!! The nasal spray always helps me. Go to my thread on Christmas shopping and tell us what all you got!!!! Come on over!!!!

Ok playing catch up here. That rumor about closing.... I wouldn't worry too much about the month of January at least the first half. When I called in to book our rooms the CM had an awful time even finding open space. Between the marathon & the promo. I would think it would be later in Feb or so when things really slow down that it might be an issue.

I'm off playing hookey from work today!
The DH and I did some running around at some stores...I was returning items instead of purchasing; a first for me! We had some Disney conversations on our way home...very disappointing My DH really HATES disney and is only going along because it's my DD's birthday trips. He said this will be his LAST time going there. So, when we got home, I opened my email to AirTran has changed my flight times....My going home non-stop flight has been cancelled and now changed to 3 hours earlier . I called AirTran and said it was NOT acceptable. We are now on a flight leaving 7:47 out of Orlando to Atlanta, transferring planes in Atlanta and then landing at Milwaukee at 11:00pm. It will be a late night, but oh well. I was not about to leave WDW at 2:00pm especially since my DD will be 13 on the day we leave. I pressured a bit on the phone and eventually got a $174 credit from the airline for my inconveniences! SO then , could I use that credit for an upgrade to 1st class flying...yes I could, but I would have to book it 24 hours in advance! I know my DH would not allow me to travel again next year, so I don't want that credit wasted. I will have to think about this one though for awhile.

Hope you feel better soon. I still get ear infections, they are the worst.

We also decided that we are not going to buy La Nouba tickets in advance. Since we have no ADR's and no real plans for what parks on what days, we are going to fly by our pants....If the weather is raining or cold, we will then see if we can get tickets for La Nouba when we are there. I have been told that if you buy tickets from the box office at DTD, it's a lot cheaper as they want to fill seats...

I just wish my DH would enjoy himself more. He doesn't "get" the magic like my girls and I. He doesn't understand why we keep wanting to go back, year after year. So, I think this will be my last trip for a while.... I would love to plan an all adult ladies trip sometime. No kids, no DH's! Maybe just one time....

Just called our local store and they have them! They just got more in today, so there is hope! I already had a few for the kiddies, but I am going to pick up a little more.

Just wanted to check in and say "HI"...it's still been crazy around here. I've been baking cookies for a cookie exchange tonight...10 dozen...I finished last night...now I have to start baking for our family Christmas party on Sunday...then for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...I'm the cookie baker our family.

I have finished all the wrapping for the year...nothing needs to be shipped, since we are leaving the Saturday after Christmas for Tennessee to visit family. This trip will make my Disney trip come quicker...we are only home a 1 1/2 before we leave for Disney...that will be busy.

I recieved our Disney 2009 DVD today...can't wait to watch it this weekend.

Good Morning All!!! I have been gone from you for a few days--about 13 pages to catch up on!! I don't have time to go back--is there anything dire I should know about? Well, Wed I woke up to a full-blown nausea-inducing migraine. Oh girls, it was bad!! I ended up being 'sick' and was wasted all day. My poor kids...lots of tv and reading amongst themselves!! I was thinking maybe it was because the weather was changing-that morning was around 71 and muggy---was supposed to drop to 40 by evening. My kids are so sweet- 2 different times that day they asked, Mamma, can I pray for you? SOOOOO sweet!!! Well, I took Tylenol PM and went to bed when dh got back from church--hard sleep always helps my migraines. I woke up at 7 something Th morning to ......SNOW!!! A WINTER WONDERLAND!!! As you know, we don't EVER get any!! In fact, my town got the most in the area and was on National News!! Ha!!!!!! Isn't that great!!! We had about 6 inches!! Kids all got to skip school or go in a few hours late....hubby came home and made snowmen with the kids!! I even took the picture I think is going to be our Christmas card!!!

We still have some snow on the ground. I know some of you get it all the time, but for us it was a mini-miracle!! My middle son informed me that it was because of him we got snow. I said "What?" He said when he went to bed Wed. he saw a tiny flurry outside his window, so he opened the curtains to watch while he went to sleep and prayed for real snow.And, lo & behold, we got it!! I am sure lots of kids around here were prayin' the same thing!!! We had such a ball!!!!! The trees were covered, cars were blanketed--it was just awesome!!!
Well, we are going to do our Christmas goodies for our friends this weekend!! Ready to deliver on Monday!! We have practice tomorrow morning for our Sunday Musical-the real deal is Sunday morning. I think it's going to be awesome!! Okay, well, I missed all of you and hated to be gone,but I am glad I am back!!

Has anyone heard from Carrie? I miss her and wonder how it's going!!!

That sounds so cute!!! Congrats on the snow ( I think ) It's a big deal when my sister in Kentucky talks about the snow, so I can only imagine what it's like in TX.
*Carrie checked in a few days ago. It sounds like she's doing good.

It's been a day. Nothing terrible, but just lots of little things adding up to being annoying. I guess I'll live though .
