Happy Saturnday,

Candi, are you talking about your home to airport? I would check a stretch limo and see if that is a better price. Or minivan rented just for your party? Or meet up at the airport. Let them get there own ride.
If your talking Orlando > I would send them with magical express and if your renting a van to use during your trip > then you and your family take that?

EE22, yes Lots and Lots of places near akl.

Hi ladies!

EE22 - the dreaded "cook" word - really! But you are right. The kids can feel free to cook all they want to. I will stock up on hamberger, spaghetti sauce and noodles!

So the Magical Express is arranged for the entire party. We rented a small car for grocery runs but not a van due to the price for the week. We won't use it that much. The dilema was on how to get from home to the airport and back.

I am checking limos to the airport but after talking to my neighbour, we may have a plan. We can take 5 in my sister's car and they can park at the airport. My neighbour has a truck that the four of us can go in and we can fill the back with the bags that won't fit in my sister's car and our bags! I usually pay around $160 for a ride to and from the airport because we can't fit the luggage in my car so we will pay him for taking all of us. He just retired, so it will be a bit extra $$ for him and should work for us.

I looked at limos but my sister won't want to pitch in and the 400 is more than I want to spend. I will probably help the kids out with at least one nice dinner (character maybe) so I will save the money for that.

My DD13 has been sick since Wednesday and we ended up at a Clinic, on the phone with Telehealth (phone nurse) and both told us to take her to the ER. Government insurance is great but if you take a kid to the ER with a virus, they think you are crazy so you need to be sure that they need to go or you wait for hours on end. She has been diagnosed with pneumonia. They put her on Clarithromycin 500mg and she is only 98 pounds so she now has an upset stomach to go with it.

im sorry to everyone's bdays that i've missed.. i dont know anyone bday here!! so belated birthday wishes to everyone i missed!!


.
on a happier note i might be having someone old/new in my life... I've known him for years and has been a good friend(Ronnie).. but now it might turn to something more.. who knows..

me and my sis are anxious for our vacation right now. even though its still 266 days away..

since ive been talking to ronnie again. i see how sad he is.. life has really screwed him over. and i want to cheer him up. He has never been to Disney. so what I'm thinking is maybe a surprise trip to disney for me and him. and if he gets this job with me, i put in all sorts of good words for him, and he filled out an application, the time we would be able to go wouldnt be till later than i normally go.. but...i would be able to do one of my disney dreams..so that would be great.. and Ronnie really needs to cheer up and have some fun.. i hate seeing him like that. what do you guys think?

Jmouse, Take it slow, and let things go gradually. It is nice that you are excited about him and taking an interest in helping him, but you are just out of something as he sounds like he is to > so enjoy this early part of your relationship. {{ You don't want a rebound guy > they never work out. }}
So don't make him one. Good luck, happy for you [and him]

Hope everyone had a good weekend. My asthma is kicking into high gear, so Candi I believe your daughter got sick easily. Can they change the antibiotic? That is very hard on your gut and I am guessing 10 days to weeks? Remember, She will sound "worse" but that is what your going for. > Pneumonia needs to break up and come out > So she will be coughing more and mucousy > means your getting better. Keep her well hydrated that will help with the pneumonia and the "gut" issues.

mky So looking forward to double digits

 

[candizfan]

MKY - as always I knew I could count on you for your great advise. She is doing better already! The second day on the medicine and her tummy was doing better, so we are waiting it out since it is working. She goes to the pediatrician for a recheck in a couple of weeks.

She has the best doctor ever! He is a teacher at the medical school here, and also the Dean and he still keeps a small practice going. He really is remarkable and I think you would love him as he is good to the kids, parents and staff.

JMouse - MKY gives great advise.

 

[JennMouse32]

oh i know i'm not rushing into anything. ive told him that. and he understands.. he feels the same way too.. i had to tell my sis that also... she said how me and him would make a good couple.. told her i wasnt ready yet.. Me and ronnie are enjoying each other's company.. but he is still my friend.. and i hate seeing him so upset.. and going to disney, getting away would get his mind off things, and hopefully cheer him up.. thats where my mind is , on cheering him up..

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Candi, glad she is on the mend. Those kind of md's are good and bad. When they leave or close the practice no one can fill there position. Your spoiled. But, good for you now, especially with her sick.

JMouse, WTG!

Busy week here. And nasty weather. Raining & cold. The babies do NOT like rain. Cannot get them outside. And I wish they where on the "new" clock schedule. I was off today and they where up wayyyyyyyyyyyy to early.

[EEyorelover22]

Cold and Rainy here too mky...we are due to have snow.
YUCKO!! it wasn't bad this morning, but now the temp has dropped.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

ee22, yep, they said rain most this week. Leaves are all over. Lets hope we don't get snow.

 

[candizfan]

MKY and EE22 - if you have rain then it is heading this way. It was so here today but I can see it coming to an end. My allergies are bad with all the leaves on the ground and it will only get worse as they start to biodegrade.

Too funny about the boys not liking the rain. My Ginger hates to get wet and she is part water dog! At times I have to go stand in the rain with her to get her to go out. She will actually walk around puddles when out for a walk.

As for being spoiled, yep I am. I lucked out with the doctor and the babysitter when they were little. I had the same sitter (excpet for before and after school times) from the time DD16 was 11 months old until they didn't go any more. She continued to take them on school holidays and in the summer until just a few years ago. I was truly blessed and I appreciated her and all she did. I was lucky to have someone who loved my kids so much.

I was never able to give much extra at Christmas each year, but when the kids didn't have to go any more, we paid for her and her husband to have 6 nights at Disney. We did a value resort, flights, park tickets and the meal plan for them. It was the best gift I have ever given. She spent 10 months planning every detail of the trip and it was remarkable! She deserved every moment of it.

This storm seemed to move north through WI and upper MI.
The sleet woke me up this morning hitting the windows. EEK!!!
There is some snow that stuck, but not a lot. It's been pretty warm here up until the last few days so I think this one went by...but I think parts of IA and WI really got hit...but I haven't watched the weather yet this morning.

 

[tripplanner2]

So I have been hiding under a rock!!!

I feel so awful...missed EE22's birthday.

April cannot come soon enough!

 

[EEyorelover22]

I didn't have a birthday so you didn't miss A THING!

 

[JennMouse32]

I didn't have a birthday so you didn't miss A THING!

lol.. thats what i heard.. after a certain age birthdays no longer count right??

work has been keeping me so stressed out. we have been getting hammered with so much freight. we have it coming out our ears!! i know its the holiday season and everything.. but its much worse than last year was. everyone at work agrees so far.
Other works news. My manager of 5+ years left our store, he went back to Florida, at a Gainsville store. Patrick, or PAtrcia as i usually called him... he had his jerky moments when i was so ticked off at him. But i know im gonna miss him. and the whole fact he is going to Flordia where i want to be.. ya know.. especially when the winter coming.. so not far. we had cake and ice cream, and we went around took ppl's pics and made him a big poster saying best wishes and all day, had a card for him, and we all chipped in and bought him a watch for a going away present. they called everything into the break room, we gave him the watch, he was giving a little thank you speech and how much he was gonna missed us, and all that.. And everyone could tell he was holding back tears.. his face was getting red, he was choking up.. it was sweet. then he was leaving at6, an hour early. i caught up with him. He gave me a hug sayin good bye and told me to make sure i kept in touch.. i told him of course, i can bug him on facebook. Its sad i will miss him, as much as he did annoy me at times.. i will miss him. he was the type you could cuss with and flip him off and everything and not get into trouble.. plus he stood up for me againest another manager that kept trying to get me into trouble. so i appricated that alot. and when me and Kay go to disney next year.. i told her we need to make a side stop at Gainsville to surprise him.. its right on our way anyways.. thinking about getting a card then for everyone to sign too.. i bet he would like that




on other things disney... I found out how much the myshare will be from work. $450.. so that will leave me $350 left to pay on disney after Dec8th... not much left to pay off it will be great!! we are getting soooooo excited..

on mine and Ronnie's Trip.. I'm thinking about going for my birthday in 2013.. its Dec 12th.. mainly because i want to see the castle all decorated for Xmas.. I've seen pics and it just looks sooo amazing!! i want to see it in person! plus i want to have nice weather for my birthday for a change instead that evil S-word... Ronnie is all for it. I told him he needs to come over so we can watch the disney vacation planner dvd... maybe that will cheer him up a bit..

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Jmouse, Yes, the castle is truely amazing in December.

Hope everyone's plans for thanksgiving are in full swing. Have a great week.
