June, July, August PLANNING thread

[tripplanner2]

I just saw my counter. I have to start to iron. I have so many things between now and then too. So far 2 birthday parties for the kids, my 20 year high school reunion, my sisters engagement party, my sil's 30th birthday. I am sure there is more but I don't want to think about it.

I could feel your panic, but it's a good panic

I agree...I now need shoes so I can get dressed this weekend. I HATE shopping for clothes when I NEED something. It becomes such a chore. Have a great day.

 

[EEyorelover22]

I know...I always get my black dress pants at Old Navy but this year they made them "skinny style" and I don't like those so I did stop by the outlet mall on the way home from dropping DS at camp and I found last year's model there so that's another item off my list for the summer!!

Good luck. I found some other sandals online as everyone here is sold out of the Chaco that my friend suggested...at least in black.

Hiya everyone,

Just been crazy here. I was on call for an extra shift tuesday nite, and it about killed me. So I recouped wed with only 1 shift. Worked today, and we got suitcases down last nite! Trying to get some stuff done before tommorrow just in case. Am off all day tommorrow, then start 5 in a row. and 1 extra shift call somewhere in the middle. Kinda hoping MD will tell me to be "sick" and stay off foot for the next 2 weeks. It always feels better when I am off a day or two.

EE22, Your doing super with your ressies. Now will they combine them when your done or do they add each day when you call? Or will you have to check in and out each day? Sounds terrible to send your kids away. Football is very scary. But I personally have only had a few concussions patient's during games. So that ain't bad. Tell him to stay hydrated, and drink, drink, drink!

Mouseaddict's, Can't follow the math, but I once attended 4 mvmcp's in a 2 week period. We are going to 2 P&P parties, but on consecutive tuesdays. Also know as the AP discount days. We are then going to 3 mvmcp in nov/dec this year. Parties are a little tamer now, but they used to give free pictures, cookies, hot cocoa, had free fortune tellers during mnsshp, just some really fun stuff, and always special fireworks and parades.

Your coming to chicago! WOW! Have you been here before? O'hare is actually quite a way from the city. If you rent a car, or drive much it is nothing but bad traffic here. Downtown and michigan ave. is great shopping. Lots to do here. If you go up in 1 of the skyskrapers I recommend John Hancock, instead of sears. Because they have an open air deck on 1 side of the observation floor. Nothing like a breeze on the 97th floor? Where are you staying in chicago? No, Contempary tower here. But loaded with the usuals. I also recommend the boat ride on the chicago river & lake michigan. You pick it up (and tix) on michigan ave, at the river go to the stairs go down and little booth there. It was pretty inexpensive, and very nice. Any questions ask away. Don't forget a large disney store on michigan ave.

TP2, You guys have a while before the little ones take off on there own. We are getting closer. Tommorrow I am in the teens.

Tomar, right now probably waiting for wishes to start? Hope your having fun.

Chloe, good luck with your test.

Everyone have a great nite. mky

HEADS UP EVERYONE!!!

N and N Labs for a charge of 84.97

BOGUS company and it's not just credit cards...it's through ATM cards taken from your checking account. I got my money back thank goodness.

CJW Holdings is the other name they use.

So...check your statements carefully!!

I just closed my account too.

They continue the ressie so it's all one when I'm gone. I tell them what I'm doing before I start. So, no, I don't have to check in and out each day.


Good luck tomorrow MKY and Chloe on Sat. Happy Thoughts coming your way!

 

[tripplanner2]

EE22: That is pretty scary. There are so many times I get a statement and don't recognize a charge only to figure that it came from something we did but they use another name for the charges. It happens all the time. I even had a charge after a trip to WDW for $64 saying marina. I had no idea what the charge was for and KNEW we did not rent a boat. We also knew that we were in WDW for that date. It made me crazy. I fought the charge and it wound up being the charge for Alices Wonderful Tea Party at the GF, go figure. The charge was not supposed to go on my card, my parents were treating the girls but we used a TA so I guess it was her mistake. The scary thing of what you said is CSW Holdings sounds familiar to me. I am going to look over my CC statement again.

MKY: Good luck today with the doctor. Finally you get to hear what he has to say. Maybe he will put you out on sick leave for at least a week before your trip. That would be nice so you can rest up before you leave.

The info for the parties was really for me. Thanks for answering. I think we are going to go for another park day only because the baby tends to melt down around 9:00pm. Anything after that would be pushing it for her and I think us staying as close to a normal schedule as possible will be the best bet for us having a peaceful trip. I think you are basically saying that the dates we would go would be too close together for them to really get the full enjoyment out of them. I was just thinking that our first real vacation day would probably flow nice if we slept in, ate at the food court, hit the pool, late lunch and then P&P for the evening. We have a non park day scheduled for Wednesday so we could sleep in the following day. While it sounds like a wonderful plan, I am still nervous that it would ruin the experience for Friday and the baby may not be able to make it for too long. I don't know, maybe a family meeting to vote would be the best bet. MK is everyones favorate park, except DH of course.

Well, I'm home from getting DS. Long drive followed by yet another migraine I was just thinking on the way there too that I didn't want a fall like last with a month long headache. I'm not sure what I ate that set me off...might be the soup I had yesterday if they used processed chicken and DH believes that with the combo of nearly being killed when DS and I were nearly home

I've never come so close to being toast on the highway
A county sheriff car came up behind me like a blot with no sirens and only lights. I was in the far left lane and actually trying to move to the center lane, but a van wouldn't let me over. I was still trying to move over when the police car was behind me and then trying to pass me on the left on the shoulder and there was a SEMI to the right of me I couldn't believe what a lunatic the policeman was!!! He was trying to push me to the left and my car can't fight with a semi. Finally the van let me in to let the police car go by. He had to be doing 100 mph. We were about 10 miles from home and by the time I drove in the garage, my head was pounding.

4 hours later and two doses of imitrex...I feel better and I'm doing the football clothes sort of smell like toxic waste.

Hope things went well for you today MKY

Hiya everyone,

Well the verdict: I did rupture the plantar fascia. He said since it had already been over a month, he would not put me in a cast. But I got the boot. Supposed to wear it, whenever i walk. but can still swim. And no crutches needed. So that is the good and bad. Sis and I talked, think i could walk around mk with it, (it actually feels better and easier to walk with the boot), but maybe do the wheelchair or ECV for epcot. It might be a little interesting getting in and out of the cars for space mt. He says it is ok to work. No bosses at hospital when I got out of the md, so I plan to work the weekend in it, and see if anyone says something on monday? Cause, there was always a rule about having to have covered shoes, with patient care. I just feel better that it is settled. Sis does not like to drive, and has never at disney. This is my right foot, he said "wear it to walk" didn't say I couldn't take it off to drive. So think I will go in and out of it and do the driving.

EE22, hope your migraine, stays undercontrol. Hope your foot problems turn out ok. That sounded really scary on the highway. At least you got your son home. The akl thing sounds like it is going well.

TP2 & mouseaddict's, i should be pretty easy to pick out at wdw, if we run into each other.

We turned to the teens today! 19 .......

Hope everyone has a great nite! mky

EE22: How terrible. I hate the 18 wheelers on the highway. When we went up to Niagara Falls, my dfil sent us like 50 miles out of the way and we could not figure out why until we went home and took the "short cut". Well, all the big trucks. They make me so nervous. I hope you are feeling better now that you are home and have the whole family together.

MKY: I am so happy you got semi-good news from the doctor. Sounds like your trip will not be cancelled and you will be able to enjoy yourself. I would look into the ECV, maybe you and your sister can share so neither one of you will kill yourselves while there.

I would love to try to catch up with you while we are there. We should try to compare notes to figure a place to catch up.

 

[EEyorelover22]

mky: Sounds like pretty good news for the trip. What about in the long run though what do you do?

Yeah, that really is the more important question.

 

[EEyorelover22]

TP2: Thanks for asking about my foot. I'm not even close to what mky is dealing with. For now, things have improved. In talking with my friend and listening to what her doc said I'm more pain free today. However, because of football camp and fixing our yard, I haven't been on my treadmill as much in the last three days either so that could be the real reason. The inserts in tennis shoes seem to be helping. I normally don't wear tennis shoes and I am in shoes always now...even in the house which I usually don't do either, but she suggested. I am wearing my crocs which help. I gave up my summer sandals which was very difficult and barefeet in the house, but necessary. I always wondered why old people wore ugly shoes now I know mine aren't too bad yet though skechers seem to be working for me and although crocs are real cute at least right now they are a fad.

 

[EEyorelover22]

I got my entire ressie
I also was able to book the first night for cash too
They were not in the system till today. I guess because the 08 rates aren't out they didn't put those in yet, but now they are!

CAN'T WAIT
but, guess I'll have too!

 

[EEyorelover22]

TP2: You should bend your DH's arm and buy DVC now the offer when you buy is double developer points to use in 12 months. So, when you buy the minimun you get 320 points "free" to use. When we bought it was only 7 months so I didn't take that, I took the discount per point. In our situation, I'd still would have taken the discount even with the use in 12 months.

Okay...really confused on the provera...that's what I take and it stops everything and can be used for birth control. Why did he put you on that?

provera is not a birth control... it is just to start my cycle.. because I have irregular cycles.. so it's to keep me on a normal cycle so it's easier to catch ovulation. Depo Provera which is something different is the birth control and what is used to stop everything. The provera doesn't do anything to help us conceive besides put me on normal cycles which can help for the simple fact that it can regulate cycles.. but some have to take them each month.. some don't. You take it for 5 to 10 days... mine is for 10 days.. then usually within a couple of days my cycle starts. Then i can start counting again, and know when to start using OPK's and everything.

 

[VMK_Princess_Chloe]

This might explain a bit better.

[VMK_Princess_Chloe]

Anyway, everything is going well. I will test on Wednesday morning.. if it's negative, i will start my provera.. Then start my new cycle. Then we will try again.. and go from there!

 

[EEyorelover22]

I take provera. But, I take it all the time and I use to take 30 mg, but the doc cut me back to 20 mg daily when I saw him last month because I was complaining about my weight. So far, it seems to be working for me although my weight isn't working for me.

VMK Princess Chloe, this is my first time on this thread but happened to see your post. Hang in there! Did the Provera, Clomid and eventually IVF cycle. We have 2 sons. Praying for ya!
