Great halloween pics! Glad the PT person had some insight. Have fun coming up with new running routes. Are there some paths to run on or a school track?

Just a few more days now and the secret will be revealed!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Yeah, I'd have to drive to get to them, but I think when I start back up, that's where I'll start. I'm too afraid to run "with traffic" now when I'm so used to running against it & seeing what's coming. So I'll start safe on some of the local paths. Also, an advantage of the paths is that I know the distance I'm running without wearing my garmin. I plan on running with NO watch for a while, to not push myself too hard. I just can't wait to get out there. Hopefully it's not snowing by that time.

Tracy - I'm DYING right now!! This suprise has my stomach in knots!!! I can't wait to let it all out.

This is so exciting!!!! We did a surprise trip when my oldest DD was almost 3 years old. We drove so we told her that we were going far away to see someone she knew. When we got to Orlando, we pulled out the camcorder and right after that, she realized where we were! We have her on videotape saying, "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! We're seeing Mickey Mouse! Oh my goodness!" My youngest DD was barely a year old then and was just as excited, but I'm not sure she knew why. It was so sweet!

You are going to have so much fun and your whole family will have such wonderful memories too! Your kids are gonna love this!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Kim,

So my question is, How are you managing to get the errands and packing done, and keep it all a secret? I know you must be crazy busy. Hope all is well.

Take care,
Beth

 

[Caitsmama]

Hey kim, just checking in on you! Hows it going with the packing?! LOL

 

[kimwim8]

packing? what packing? Seriously, this trip is doing a number on my stomach. I have lists coming out my ears, but I can't get anything done. Then, to top it all off...DD is sick. 101 fever & sore throat (had strep test y'day - negative ). Hopefully she'll be feeling much better by Monday, but if not, we'll be back a the dr. again.

Tonight I'm hoping to get the kids' carryon bags put together. I've bought so much crap that it probably won't all fit in the backpacks I bought (Target clearance - $3 ). So, hopefully I can get those done tonight, as well as getting their pressed penny money seperated in baggies, and maybe their autograph books put together. I still have to make the tshirts for the reveal too (ran out of ink ).

PT is going well. I don't know that I'll be back there before I leave. But I bought myself an icepack that I can keep in the room freezer and I'll certainly be doing my stretches. I haven't had much shooting pain since I started PT, but the constant ache is still there. The one good thing about PT is that I feel like I'm getting in some mini-workouts.

Guess that's it from my crazy world. I don't think I'll have pics to post from DS's room until after the trip. I'm waiting on some frames to come "in" at AC Moore, and I'm running short on time right now. Thanks for sticking with me, guys.

Kim,

It sounds like you are super busy getting ready for this trip. Just think of how relaxing and fun the trip will be and that will help you get through the busyness.

I'm sorry to hear that your DD is sick. Sending some get well her way.

Have a great Sunday! You CAN do this!

 

[traceycooper]

HI kim
hope DD is feeling better.
Sounds like your getting organised for the trip!
good idea to take an ice pack with you, if your anything like me...i'm on a mission to fit in as much as i can when we go to WDW!
Have a great week

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hey Kim,

I hope DD is feeling better. heading her way. Good luck with getting everything together. Just remember that you are not going to a deserted island. Anything forgotten can be bought. For 10x the price of course.

Don't worry about us. We understand how busy you are with the trip coming up.

Take care,
beth

Hi Kim! Glad to hear the PT is going well!

Sorry to hear DD is sick! I hope she is better before your trip! I am so jealous! I can't wait to hear how the reveal goes and your trip! Hope you guys have a great time!!!

Hey Kim - that last minute scramble - tough even when the kids know what is going on. You are a brave, brave woman. The special ice pack sounds like a great idea - I just used ziplocks full of ice machine ice when I was there for ToT, but the luxury of a pre-freezed, gel filled icepack sounds so nice, maybe I'll bring one next time.

Hope you're holding up under all the strain - your kids are going to be so surprised! They're so lucky - I wish someone would surprise ME with a trip to Disney with the bags all packed and arrangements all made!

Remember to take more pictures than you think you should!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys! Thanks for understanding my craziness right now.

DD's getting better. I took her to urgent care today and they said she is wheezing and her chest is pretty congested. It's confusing b/c she hasn't had any head congestion. But it's ok, we're taking steps to get her better, and she should be good before the trip. She's staying home from school tomorrow with MIL just to give her another day of rest & meds.

Anyway...I did get a chance today to lock myself in my room and pile up some clothes that we'll need. Luckily, I'm not usually very quick about putting clean clothes away....so the kids won't suspect anything by me having some laundry baskets of clothes in my room.

As far as pictures....there will be LOTS!!

Busy, busy day tomorrow with tons of work, soccer, cheerleading and more packing. WISH me luck guys....I hope I make it through.

 

[AmyBeth68]

KIM!!! Have a great time in da' World if I don't get a chance to get back here to post before you leave .

Good luck getting everything ready....the scramble is on! Love WDW this time of year .

[postesf]

Hope DD starts to feel better!

 

[toystoryduo]

Here's some packing for you and some get well for your DD. Hope everything is going well for you, Kim.
