are they a close knit group of kids? Does she get totally spoiled by her older brothers?

Yes they are .....we have a ton of fun when the boys come home from University...they have mini stick tournaments, they play hockey, soccer, baseball, football on one of the game units. Natalie gets involved even if it is just being their slave... getting them beer or something to eat....... Actually no they dont spoil her as far as letting her get away with things they are actually more strict than I am with her.....

11B Standard Inside...oh well, maybe an upgrade with our GTY next time. The reviews are good though and seems to have the steamer trunk and perhaps an excellent room steward! Just happy to be aboard!

Have a great day everyone.

So here is my Stressed Out (for no reason) Story.

I am the Parent who does most of the "Admin" work in the family - you know the stuff I mean - making dentists appointments, advising the school of stuff, getting the passports, etc.

My BETTER HALF was home for a month due to back problems but was still able to get around a bit. I suggested that I could use some help and my Better Half agreed to do some stuff for me. I had not got my daughter a SIN card yet and I wanted to get that done. So I said - here is her passport and her birth certificate, here is the address and the hours of where to take them - go get her a SIN Card. No problem, right?

3 weeks later we got the SIN card - yeah! When I went to do the online registration for hte cruise about a week ago - I asked "where did you put the Passport?" I was told "I put in on the kitchen counter". Which of course lead to a lot of "why would you not just put it where we store all the Passports"............and of course -we cant find it now. And we cant find the Birth Certificate. We have spent the last 2 nights taking apart the house looking for it and cant find it. We took apart the Van - cant find it!

So frustrating.....they arent cheap to replace and I will probably have to pay RUSH fees!

OH BOY! He owes you BIG TIME!!! Once I lost the Jonas Brothers tickets that my daughter begged for! Fortunately, by the time the concert rolled around, she didn't even like them anymore! To this day, they are somewhere in this house.

It will show up. You'll see.

We're starting to have some room #s roll in...Jerelle updated me on their room number earlier today, as well as a correction to the room # for k8ysdad....binky1 had provided it as one room but it tuns out they were on the other side of the block of rooms, so that too has been corrected for those of you keeping score at home! Wish I had my Castaway Club ID # with me so I could check and see if our room has been assigned since I last checked.

Sorry I am confused....mine says 11B Standard inside room too, but there is no room #, I know I am 11B standard inside, I want a room number...

Can I borrow your CC # so I can find my room #......

 

[AverysMommy]

Oh no! Sending pixie dust and hoping you find it soon!

Thanks - if I dont find it tonight we will have to start the process of replacement

I do finally have a room number. It's listed right after 11B standard inside, where it used to say GTY. After you click on View Details.

(check the FE updated list for our number) I don't know why I'm so scared to put it down here, I guess everyone has access to the links.

We are also hoping you find the passport. I'm glad that you didn't wait until the week before trip to get them together.

I know how frustrating it is. The baby still needed his passport and my oldest son's expires in January. So, hubby had an afternoon off. We load up everyone, pull DS out of school early so we can get to the passport office. When we arrive, the wait is over an hour. DD is not feeling well and lying on the floor, baby is crying because he is hungry, and it was overly warm in the room. We get to the front of the line. I had copies of everything needed, including copies of DH passport as well as his passport on me to use as ID. That is when I find out the DH passport expired last June. He travels overseas all of the time, but uses an official passport, so I didn't check his. Fine I say, just give the lady your military ID and we will pay for the copies of that. Then DH explains that he LEFT his military ID in his uniform pocket with his badge. In his defense he does have to use it to log on to the computers. Great I say, give her your drivers license then. Turns out that was with his badge too. I was SO MAD. We leave without passports.

Round 2 of passports he showed up 45 minutes late. But we did find a different post office with no wait. Anyway, the kids have their passports, but DH still has not sent in his application for a renewal of his tourist one. It is still on the kitchen counter. I am not too worried, because he can use his official passport if needed. But he is a grown-up and I figure I take care of 4/5 of the family - he can handle 1/5.

But I feel your pain. At least you have plenty of time to sort it all out!! Our passports arrived less than 2 weeks after we submitted the applications and that is with the Thanksgiving holiday thrown in!!

My dd is still into the Jonas Brothers she would have us turning the house upside down.... I will be happy when this stage passes. She has been to 2 of their concerts , I have been to none, I make Hubby take her.

Matter fact I just bought her the Camp Rock 2 DS game for Christmas. But I guess she is only 10 it could be worse right.

Averysmom I hope the passports show up!! It is a big pain to wait in those lines and make sure all the paper work is in order.

I am still traumatized by all of the snow we had last year!! It is 65 here right now (but raining). Only supposed to be in the 40s the rest of the week though so I think winter is finally coming!!

I know she has nothing to do with it.

Geeze sounds like my house......if he actually has to do something like that his self he leaves til the very last minute, even though it is alot easier for him to take a few hrs off work than it is for me to take a few kids........us moms/wives have them spoiled........

...I called again yesterday and the guy said usually 30 days before the sailing....

30 days is the norm, sometimes ya get lucky and it pops up before 30. Still checking daily (if not more) to see if our cabin has been assigned...as of last check, still no room on Mickey's Boat to call our own.

Well picked our room , kind of we knew we wanted deck 1.

We got our first real snow this morning. Boy did it look pretty on the trees and coming down in huge flakes.

Then I had to go out and get new brakes on my car , so then it was not so nice. Just before Christmas too what a huge expense but a needed one.

Now it has stopped but it is pretty wet out there and slushy. Not going to be a good night if all this water freezes.
