June, July, August PLANNING thread

[Minnie]

JennMouse - and for your mom

MKY - Welcome home - hope you had a fantastic trip

Candi - Hope you got some sleep

Thanks everyone for the and on the tooth. It was miserable there at the start of the trip and I ended up with a dry socket but towards the end I was able to do more. Mom and DS were wonderful about the whole mess and I learned that I don't have to run all the time or be in the parks the whole time to well have a good time

Proud mom moment - I had an oh my goodness my little boy has grown into a person I can be proud of during our trip. We ended up moving our trip out 2 days and had ressies at the RPR over at Universal - I'd given him a card for a "magical day" at WWoHP and we planned to go over the next morning. Well I was so freaking miserable that night and next morning that I couldn't go. My DS said he'd rather not go and wait for some other time since I wasn't feeling well

I'm now planning a trip for DS and I and maybe DH to go to Universal for a long weekend

I've got good news on the Oct trip too.... Finally managed to grab cancellation at the WL (courtyard view) for our whole trip at the AP rate

Hope everyone is doing well

Minnie...so glad you were able to make it! sorry about the tooth though and the dry socket. How sweet of your son. It will be better the next time.

AWESOME on October. The closer it gets...the more I want to go!

 

[EEyorelover22]

well TP2...I checked all flights into your area and all landed except for one so I am hopeful you made it! I hope you have power when you get home. Pixie Dust.

Tomar: I hope they are wrong and have power before this weekend for you. Cannot imagine.

I hope everyone else is doing okay. The heat comes back tomorrow here.

Hi Everyone !!!
Just wanted to let you all know that : WE ARE OUT OF THE WILDERNESS AND HAD OUR POWER RESTORED TODAY !!
I cannot tell you what 6 days of no power in your home is like...we litterally had to throw away all our meats, and perishable foods, clothes to be washed are forever !! our backyard looked like a moat with all that water
But all in all we were lucker then alot of other folks that lost thier homes or had flooded basements ....I lost my cell phone (died from overuse I think ...No...it was a defect of some kind so Im waiting for a replacement to come via fed ex.
MKY- thank you for thinking of us , you are sooooo sweet !!
Has anyone heard from TP2- ? ....are they home?..I hope her home is safe , Long Island got hit badly as well as New Jersey did.
EE22- what can I say to yu ....
Didn`t get a chance to read our thread yet, but I will soon

 

[EEyorelover22]

Glad she`s home safe and sound EE22 ....the rest is a Ditto for us !!

Well, we made it home. Still totally exhausted and still have tons of laundry surrounding me. Had to get kids ready for school today so not much got done with the house but at least they are settled now.

So yes, we came home to a mess but at least our house was fine. Not sure how because every single neighbor around us has damage. There was tree on the house next door and another tree squashed the shed of my other neighbor. The people behind us still have a tree hanging over their roof. Another tree is holding it at bay but it does not look good and I cannot imagine sleeping in that house in the current condition. Funny thing is we have 1 tree that is half in our yard and half in our neighbors. The tree is rotten and we took down our half. Other half is still standing and we thought for sure it would go. Nope...still standing tall.

I will fill everyone in with details soon. Just wanted to let you know we are home safe and sound and our house is in the clear. Pretty scary to see the mess around here.

TP2- Glad your home safe and sound and your house wasn`t damaged !
So many people in my developemnt are still trying to dry out their basements
MKY- thank you, I feel like I came out of the wilderness (not haveing power for 5 days )
To add insult to injury, my cell phone died the other night, waiting for a fed ex delivery tomorrow with the new one !!
DL11- WISHING YOU MUCH LUCK AS YOU START COLLEGE !!!!

Happy Labour Day everyone!

Boy has the weather been crazy this summer. I am glad everyone is safe.

Hockey season started here today with the local Ontario Hockey Team having their first preseason game. Like a good Canadian - we are season ticket holders again this year.

School starts here tomorrow so the kids will be back to a normal routine soon. We now have DD16 - her birthday was the 29th of August. She can now write the test for the learners permit to drive. Next spring she wants to get her motorcycle license.

I hope everyone is enjoying the last long weekend of summer.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

Wow, talk about crazy weather. It was high 90's last week, and swealtering now it is 64 and suppose to be in the 70's [maybe].
Candi, I guess it is hockey season.

EE22, hope your doing ok. And not toooooooooo lonely. I bet its quiet there.

Candi, your girls are growing soooooo fast. Wow, now are you planning to let her get a motorcycle license?

TP2, hope your catching up. Ugh, I hate laundry after vacation.

Tomar, hope things are getting back to normal.

Big day here tommorrow. Will keep you updated.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Pixie Dust and Prayers for Bug!

 

[candizfan]

MKY - for tomorrow.

It has gotten very cool here today as well. We had the AC on yesterday and may need the heat tonight. I closed all the windows to keep the heat inside so I am hoping to avoid that.

Yes, I will let DD16 get her motorcycle license. I would be a hipocrit if I said no. Plus I think it would be neat to have her along with us on rides. I bet we have four bikes in the family before too long. DD13 wants a bike to.

Did I tell you we bought DH a bike at the end of July? It is a beautiful 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan Clasic 1500cc Fuel Injected. We bought it over in Michigan and imported it. So we all go out on our bike night rides now.

MKY & Bug -

Update on my mom: she goes to the doctor on the 20th, and he will decide how serious it is, and whether to do the surgery up in indy (if its serious, an hour away), or surgery here (not serious).. so hopefully we will know something.. i hate all this waiting.. and who knows with all this waiting if its getting worse or not..



on happier notes.. next week (15th) when I get paid i can put another $300 at least into paying off disney, that would leave less than $700 to pay... which makes me happy. I should have it paid off in no time. and as far as money for spending I have $400. and i did a guesstimate on what i should have by the time i go.. im guessing about $1,500. which will be good.. me and sis have alot of plans for this trip..


me and a friend, Rob, are starting to tentatively plan a 2013 disney cruise/park trip. He loves traveling as much as i do. and in 2013 i will be getting 3 weeks vacation.. so i can go up to that much...if it happens it will be a blast..

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

Thanks everyone, She is doing GREAT! At least so far. The nerve block wears off starting tommorrow, we will see. So far so good.

Jmouse, hope she does well, hang in there.

Candi, HEAT been there and done that already. 64 was our high today. ICK

 

[JennMouse32]

yeah well waiting and hang in there is all we can do right now.. it just sucks having to wait

 

[mkymouse4ever]

T G I F !

Ugh, Seems like 2 years have went by since july 8th. We have been through sooooooooooooo much. I hope things start going in a better direction.

Well the good news: bug> is back home and doing OK. This is going to take a while but we are heading in the right direction. hopefully.

I need to start dreaming about March 2012. Our adr date will be here soon. OMG They say she should be 80% by Jan and great come march so hoping, she is better than this august.
I did price out the CR for march >> OMG 3 x what I paid in august. March is high high season and no discount full price is sooooooooo outrageous. So still deciding what to do. ** anyway takes my mind off everything here.**

Thanks everyone for letting me vent, as usual.
Hope you all have a great weekend. I am sooooooo enjoying my week off here in illinois.
