Happy Saturday!
Today has been fun, but frustrating. DH and DS ended up falling asleep on the couch (they love to cuddle and it's adorable, don't get me wrong) and everytime DS sleeps on the couch he gets up at 4:00 IN THE MORNING!!! And where does he go? Upstairs to find Mommy. And then he comes back, every hour on the hour.
"Mommy, I want a drink."
"Mommy, I want fruit snacks."
"Mommy, I just wanted to give you a kiss and hug." <----this one usually comes after I get actively irritated. Manipulative kid
"Mommy, Daddy won't put on cartoons. He says after his movie."
"Mommy, I can't find my blanket."
"Mommy, I want a pumpkin bar."
"Mommy, I need a quarter." (He has some old fashioned gumball machines and he earnbs quarters for them when he's a good listener but sometimes he tries to con us out of quarters for no reason).
So I didn't get much sleep and haven't been able to shake my headache from it. Oh, and if he'd slept in his bed? He'd have slept in until at least 8:30. Argh.
So I had breakfast and tried to relax. Then I gave up and we all took out the jetboat on the river and had a great time. Max pretended he was flying and kept pointing at everything - he said he felt like he was on a Disney ride. DH let him "drive" a few times and he loved that. I was happy because even though I knew I wasn't, I kept imagining I was way too fat for the jetboat (like a jetski for 4 people). It was fun. Then we came home and I changed quickly and we went out for a late lunch/early dinner. Now we're home and I'm doing laundry and putting off cleaning the house. Tonight we might go to the drive in movies and so we all need naps if that's going to happen. Here's hoping my Excedrin Migraine will kick in (I don't have a migraine, but I get funky headaches and that's the only thing that helps).
Some potentially bad news though...as I mentioned before, our final payment for WDW is next Friday. And some unexpected bills have popped up and made this a bit tougher. We're trying to figure out a way around all of this, but I don't know. Worst case? We cancel. I know it's not a huge deal...we're going again at Thanksgiving and DS won't be upset because this is his birthday surprise trip and he has no clue. But I was really excited about this...
However, I'm going to call Member Services on Monday and see what's available. If we can't swing the payment this Friday (it's not a matter of not having the money, it's a matter of not having it on the day needed...argh) then we can just use our DVC points. We won't have the free dining, but we do have a DDE card and the money we don't pay for lodging will more than cover the food, souveniers, car rental. And I suppose that we could even go without borrowing points, but switching from using points on some of the days in November to paying cash with AP discount for a few days and using those points in September.
Hmmmmmm...I'm sure everything will work out. Although eating a cake or two might make me feel better. Nah.
So things are up in the air a bit now. I don't know IF there is anything available through DVC...and if there is, don't know where. Probably SSR or OKW...but I love VWL and we are currently planned to stay at WL. It'll all work out.
Well, I'm off to rest away my headache. I want to get a walk in later so it has to go away. I've been doing really well with the walks and I want to keep up the momentum.
is gone gone gone for 17 days!
so like I saidm just let me know if I can help! hehe
