Thanks for all the good wishes, you all lift my spirits on here, I never found a thread that felt so homely and just "right".
Yeah, but at least you have a husband.
I feel for you on the Lauren/boy thing. You need to chaperone those dances, girl! I laughed out loud at my desk about the Holy Ghost comment. That's funny. I mean, it's not funny, and you better lock her up!
Seriously - I don't feel like I ever do. Too much to do, too little time. At least you have your ADRs!!I also HATE to share a room with the kids - and booking 2 rooms onsite ...
I've even had my sister in the room with us. Now that was a little awkward, and we had to work around some stuff, but with the kids, I am OK. This time, I am bringing a shower rod and curtain to close off the vanity area so Darrin doesn't have to throw on his boxers in the steamy bathroom. I am going to surprise him!
Ha! That sounds like something I would do!
I cooked all day yesterday - crock pot sausage bean soup, pork roast w/carrots & potatoes, lasagne (frozen, of course), and skillet hamburgers, so I don't have to cook this week! I also did all of the laundry, but some folded stuff still needs to be put up. Part of my decor is clean laundry on the living room couch and coffee table!
But now DH is saying October is too soon to take DD, since she'll only be 1. The last time we went, DS was 15 months, and according to him that 3 months made all the difference. My only problem is he won't be free if we go after October. DH doesn't seem to mind?!
Jillian - it kills me that Lauren is in 8th grade. This boy she danced with may now be asking her out - whatever that means. She told me she will text me as soon as school was dismissed today to let me know. But she is walking on air over the possibility. Which concerns me a bit. I don't like my daughter liking a boy THAT much.
Here's one to freak out a bit. I met Tim in Jr High and we started dating in High School have been dating ever since.
Nice to have you back, Cammie! We missed you!
Okay girlfriend, what can you take off your plate? Can you say NO to anything?Cammie- I think I would love a Saturday night alone LOL. That sounds so nice a bottle of wine to myself the clicker and being able to fall asleep when I want. Glad Lauren had a great time at her dance she is getting so grown up. How's Miss Amanda? How are you? The weather here is getting a bit crazy. We are going apple picking Sunday and then to the topsfield fair.
Pam- If Luca is in bed at 7:30 count me in. I love my sleep and would love to sleep past 7am. So are you calling me old just kidding. Yea on the the pins maybe I will have to do that so Monkey can have a good selection to trade.
Tammie- How are things going? How was the spa party? can you come live by me I will have spa parties all the time
Well girls the plans keep changing..... I need help planning this trip
So we are going at peak season which is OK because we have the 4/7 deal but we are thinking of going without the dining plan this year. It just doesn't seem like it will be worth it. I will have to plan things out a bit better, but who knows.
Now my sister is going and my SIL has invited herself but she's still not sure. I never mind my sister aka monkey she is such a big help and she really appreciates it.
So here is the issue stay ON property or OFF? I was thinking one of those houses would be nice with the private pool so the kids can come home and relax? Then I would be cooking so
I love the laundry comment!
I always say I decorated in the "laundry staging" style! Sounds like you have all your cooking done. Come on out here and cook for me, and I'll pamper your toes!Hey gals!!!! I've been a bit MIA lately too. Just want to pop in and say "whassup!!!!!"
Cammie - it's obvious you're back - looks like about 3 pages since I was on last!
Lorrie - stop flying by and stay awhile!!! We miss you!!!!
Pam - did you get the paintings? Do you like them?
Jillian - for sure this time? I really hope you get things squared away so this trip will happen!!!! We loved AKL even though it's far from everything. Really, in the whole big picture, it's maybe 5 minutes further. And because you don't share a bus with any other parks, it's a heck of a lot quicker than some!!! I know at Dolphin, YC, BC, and BW they all share a bus so it took us 45 minutes to get back from MK one night!!!! As for WL, I'll know after December!
Erin - I think it totally depends on the CM you get when you call. You sound like a fun, happy gal, so I'll bet they'll let you make your ADRs no matter what the rule is. As for online (and I know you can't do this), it's only for 90 days out from THAT DAY.
Tessa - the language barrier still cracks me up! And it totally makes sense for me why you stay off site. Never thought about the length of time you're here, and that <gasp!> there might be other things you want to do other than Disney!
Tammie - how long you in Idaho/Montana/Wyoming? My brain is fried but from where I sit I'm thinking they're all about the same?
Debbie - come out come out wherever you are??????
OK, so for girls night out - we all met at the clubhouse, and had a drink. And then got a traveller to take in the car. Actually it was a big 15 passenger van. Our driver took us downtown to the Landing - it's a big outdoor area right on the river, with restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.
So we went to a Mexican place for dinner and sat outside by the water. So nice! There were 9 of us altogether, so when we left dinner we had to be careful not to get separated. There was a big concert going on and we had to basically swim upstream to get through there to get the bar we were headed for. So all 9 of us held hands and walked in chain formation. I felt like a kindergartener on a field trip to the museum.....
At one point, some guy yells, "outta the way, COUGARS coming through!" I swear!!!!!
That was probably the funniest part of the night - we were referred to a couple of times as cougars...... One gal in our group was told, "man, you're OLD, but you're still hot!"
It was a fun time and nobody got crazy. We called our driver about 12:30 to come and pick us up and we were home by around 1:15 or so. Fun group of gals so hopefully we'll all do it again some time.
We decided not to go to Yellowstone this weekend as it was storming, but our adventures are to come - have to download some pics!Hey everyone....just stopping in. No baby yet, but NEXT WEEK (Wednesday to be specific) is the scheduled c-section day. I'm excited and scared poo-less at the same time. I'll be SO happy to be done being pregnant, but I have no idea how I'm going to handle 2 little ones! DS will be 2 on 10/13, DD will be born 10/14.
We are SO not ready for her either. When I was preggo with DS we had everything good to go weeks before he arrived, with this one, the carseat is still in the basement, and the bassinet isn't even set up yet.
So - the get in free on your birthday promo carried over for 2010, without the gift card option? That's kind of stinky.
But now that they have already announced the 4/3 deal again, I'm wondering if that will happen for January 2011 as well? Do you think that's a better deal than free dining (typically in October)?? I don't know!! I'm obsessing over this, when I should be obsessing over having a baby soon.
Here's one to freak out a bit. I met Tim in Jr High and we started dating in High School have been dating ever since.
But it's all good now.Laura -
*heads out to the liquor store*
Everyone is different. Today we went to breakfast at Goldy's the "soup nazi" of breakfast, went to the Disney store to pick up Snow White, which we had been told we could get on the 3rd with an early order (NOT) and shopped around the mall and Burlington Coat Factory. I'm heading back to the mall tomorrow.
I'll post my pics tomorrow!
