[Chicago Mo]

The beginning.

After the surprise trip of a life time (you can read here: Move over Dumbo)
We wanted to go back! This time a little slower a little EASIER and see CHRISTMAS! We hadn't been during Christmas since 2011 we missed it!

This time the kiddos have the chance to say what THEY wanted. Right?
What was i thinking? If you wanted to read about the planning on this you can! No time to slumber we're going back in November

Well the ONLY input they gave was where to stay. Creeps!!

So the week had arrived and i was not ready. (shocker) this trip creeped up on me FAST! I had to work both of my jobs this week! I had NO time to pack, shop etc! thankfully job #1 allows me to run to a store if needed.

We normally have 'A night before Disney' which we watch our home movies of past trips or the home movies i make, order a pizza make sure we have everything ready.

Not this time. I had to work Job #2 until late. While there, I was starving they had donut holes! Red velvet no less.. Who could pass that up right?
Worst. Mistake. EVER.
No sooner did i ingest the hole from hell did my stomach flip. Apparently Job #2 wanted to poison me. It was u-g-l-y. Thankfully I made it home safely without any stops on the side of the road and having to explain to the nice state troopers what was going on! Once home i finished some packing, showered and BED I did have to work the city job in the morning!
The kids happily went to school as i am singing " IT'S A BRIGHT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW" as they tell me no it isn't we don't leave until Friday.
Dang forgot about that. Yes we told the kids we were leaving on Friday Nov 13 as i didn't want them to screw up their tests! Oops. they were none the wiser.

At the city job TALK ABOUT TORTURE! I was still sick from the blasted donut hole and had to sit here and PRETEND like i was working. GAH that is tough to do!
I took a half day which means i leave at 9am! The kids had a half day as well so they got home about 11:30
YAY! we get to leave a lot earlier then we did on the surprise trip! Maybe, just maybe, i can see the mountains in DAYLIGHT!

so exciting to get out of there and HOME Tom was home and had everything ready just waiting on the kids and I!!
So being out of work Vacation started my stomach was still very unhappy with me. I hadn't eaten anything since the night before and honestly i was not looking forward to see what would happen with a 16 hour drive ahead of us!

Once i got home it was time for my awesome packing last minute rush!





Of course we had help







She is a PITA


our magic bands were ready:







everyone did their own bands this time!




I will have to leave you all here...

Next up we LEAVE!

Checking in! Looking forward to hearing all about your trip!

YAY!

Here!

about time.

FIRST!... page. Whatever, I'm proud of it!

I LOVE YOUR INTROS! I always do, though. I also love all your babies, human and furry alike! Maybe I should start introducing my cats in my TRs...

Why not?? they are part of your family!
hey aren't you leaving like ANYDAY?

I'm in!

YAHOOOOOOO

HERE WE GO

LOL! Hi there!

Count me in, too!

I can't count this high... HA HA HA HA




Thank you everyone for coming aboard!! I just love all my Dis friends!!!

 

[MPWife153]

Yay! I didn't end up 10 pages behind for once

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Oh boy, oh boy,.....you're going to Disney!!!! This is so fun to read, since I will be going there too!!! I have so much to learn about all the new stuff!

 

[Elevationist]

hey aren't you leaving like ANYDAY?

Tomorrow, birthday. Friday, DISNEEEYYYY!!!

 

[Pluto0809]

Ugh! That darn donut hole! Evil, just evil!

Oh my, Raven sitting right in the middle of everything was cracking me up. I had Alex in my lap while I was packing because he gets upset when he sees suitcases. Actually he gets worried now every time I go into the guest bedroom because that's where I do my packing.

OK, so SHAMELESS PLUG FOR MY TR!! I was also at Disney during this time and did some stuff with Mo and family. If you would like to read about the trip from my perspective, the link is the first one in my signature. I can guarantee that it will be:

1. No where near as funny and humorous as Mo's, I'm more of a "just about the facts" kind of person
2. Dragged out a lot longer because I'm lucky if I get one or two updates a week. My last TR took me almost a year to write.

Plug over! Sorry for the hijack Mo!
