By the way, I added a little surprise to the cruise home page. If you are at a place where you should not be on the internet, then make sure your sound is down. But then you would miss the surprise.

It's adorable what the little one's come out with and do. Savannah is so excited. I can't even count how many times today she asked if it was time to go yet. I can see her now giving Mickey a big hug. OK, I'm getting all teary eyed.

As you are nervous about flying, I'm nervous about driving down I-4.(main hwy from Tampa to Orlando) I dread that drive. I'm sure by the time we get to the port I will be so stressed from the drive, I will be doing shots in the parking lot to relax.

Yes, driving can be just as, if not more, stressful than flying. I am a terrible back seat driver too. When we drive to Ohio I have to look too when my husband changes lanes, just to be sure he is not going to hit anything. Well, I hope traffic is not too bad for you all.

We may want to make our own tequila tasting after our trip.

I am doing the last load of laundry and some ironing. Still need to finalize the packing. We have piles of various clothing through out the house. Once we figure out everything we are taking, then we will figure out what suit cases to put it all in.

Since we really don't have a time schedule for tomorrow, we are not stressing too much. We will probably stay just north of Jacksonville tomorrow night.

I think I mentioned that we are replacing our living room rug with hard wood while we are gone. So I need to do some extra cleaning / moving stuff before we go. This is just added to the fun.

What a great time to do that. My husband did our downstairs, and we are going to do the upstairs this fall, but how nice it would be to come home and have it all done. Of course, that probably means a little work when you get back.,.just a little.

I can't hear it. This computer crashes when I try. Bummer!

How in the world do you get an 18 year old to pack? His priorities are not mine. He said he would get his stuff together last night, but got home late and went to bed.

Why is it that when they turn 18 they have to act like they are adults or something? This is a very tricky time. They still live with you, they are not at all ready to leave. You want them to follow the rules, but they need to be here. Oh my goodness, I would give anything for the terrible two's again. I thought they were bad, NOT!

I don't know about an 18 year old, but what about my husband!!!! Still no packing done for him. I know he still has today and tomorrow but still just get it done already. He even works from home so he can't use work as an excuse. I say we pack for them. Hee, hee, that could be fun when they open their suitcases and only find one outfit to wear for the week!!! Who would be doing laundry now!!!!

 

[sillykidsmom]

You're just trying to get us to the 1,000 post.

We will get to that 1,000 post before we leave. I believe BTSEN and I will be the only ones home until Saturday. We can do it!!!!!

I have 5 suitcases and 3 carryons laying across my bedroom floor, and if he doesn't pack soon, he will have his own suitcase. I told him if that suitcase is lost,then that will be all of his stuff.....don't blame me when it happens. Well, he, being a boy, does not think it would happen to him. Maybe I should pay off Disney to hold his bag for a day or 2 to show him that it can happen.

I know, mean mom.

Yes, we can!! At least there are 2 of us that will still be here. It would be very lonely otherwise.

Well, off to do a bit of a workout.....lift that suitcase, 1, 2 , 3 , 4........ See if they feel like more than 50 pounds.

I don't think that's mean, I think it would be hysterical.

We only have about 24 more posts to go!!! On our cruise in May I was the last one left on cruise critic and it was very lonely. It's no fun talking to yourself. I apologize in advance if I talk your ear off.

I always weigh myself and then get on the scale with the bag to see how much the weigh. I'm usually at about 49 1/2 pounds!!!!!

Time to go stare at those suitcases of mine. I just went to Wal-Mart and bought the kids some pail and shovels for a $1 and a few more odds and ends. I need to find a place for them. LOL LOL At least the pails and shovels don't have to come home with us.

We need to go soon or we are going to be pennyless and have no room for souvenirs and such. I am going out today for some more odds and ends, after all, I have to create some stress since my mom gave me her suitcase.

Oh, BTW, my middle son is 14 today.

 

[BTSEN5]

Well, my 18 year old threw some stuff at the suitcases just a little while ago. I am now ready to close up the suitcases. I know I will have to open them again, but at least it will feel like I am done.

I told my 18 year old that he needs to be sure to have his driver's license so he can get off the ship. He showed it to me and part of the top is missing. Do you think this will be a problem with getting off the ship? All his information and the picture is still there.

Well, I will be back later. I am going to take the boys to the rec center to swim. I can drop them off and do some errands.

Talk to you soon.


PS. Do not apologize about the chit chat. I enjoy this a lot.

Wishing everyone a safe trip. Can't wait until Saturday morning!!!!

Happy Birthday to DS 14!!!!

I hear ya. Just think we still have another day to shop if we want to.

I always start out the trip by giving Zach & Savannah a limit on how much they can spend. That includes souvenirs and the arcade. Don't ya know I can never stay at that limit. Can you say SPOILED!

I had the neighbor girls come over to swim with Savannah so I will stay out of my bedroom and away from those suitcases. I figure I can keep myself occupied tomorrow with any last minute cleaning, laundry and packing. Zach will be in his last day of camp and even though Savannah is only 3, she is a big help around the house. I hope she stays this way when she's a teenager.

I guess I have plenty to do tomorrow to stay away from those stores.

Tomorrow night we are going to have a family movie night and watch the first POTC to get us ready for the 2nd one. I told Zach I would take him to see it on the ship. Savannah wants to see the 2nd one so bad but we have decided against it. Maybe when it comes out on DVD we can monitor what parts she sees and doesn't see.

Well, I'm just rambling on and on. I think I've done enought talking for now.
