Stop DISing and get some rest!!!! You "sound" so unlike Kara. Makes me want to come there and make you soup! REST! NOW!
I tried! I went up to the guest room and tried to sleep. The darn phone kept ringing. I can't figure out how to turn it off!!!! And I can't take it off the hook cause my work calls come through there, too. When I answer it says "Got V-Mail - press one to accept, or 2 to send to voice mail." That way I know if it's a personal call or business call. But I can't turn it off during the day!!!!
I need to find a pic of Nicolas at that age, just the hair, eyes and cheeks - takes me back. Oh that would be so cool if you could go in May. I was thinking the first week in May or the second (which is mother's day weekend btw). April was great outside the cold snap we had, but Easter is mid-April next year and I've heard do not go if you have to within two weeks of it. I think there was a huge difference in the crowds from your trip to mine, and wasn't that just a few days? We were there April 12-15.
When did you go Jillian? We were there this year May 4-10 and it seemed more crowded the first couple of days, than it had in years past. But that's cause we were at "RED" parks, per TGM. I already had all of our ADRs before a copy of the TGM schedule fell into my lap 
and so I only did a little bit of altering the schedule. When he said "Green" he was right. When he said "Red" he was right. "Yellow" wasn't a big deal. But so far, early May is my favorite time at WDW. We'll see about September and November this year.
Yeah, that scrapbook closet. I was thinking today that is probably a nice little stay at GF
by the time you add it all up.
But I do enjoy it. Thanks for the tips on the stroller. I'll post more about that in a sec....
Cammie - me Martha...
I seriously need to take some photos of my house & yard. That will squash that REAL quick!
As for Lauren - she is SMART! How many people go to therapy to have the therapist say write it down and throw it away. She is doing a version of that, and you know what, she is not bottling it up, she is getting it off her chest, she isn't going to have headaches, highbloodpressure or God knows what else because she is getting it out! GOOOD FOR LAUREN!
I say no it isn't normal - BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WOULDN"T DO IT! It is SO SMART! I seriously wouldn't worry.
Now, not for your exbuttface's
sake, but for Lauren's, I'd like to suggest it might be worth a private talk between you and your "ex" to tell him that she is upset and that he should NOT disclose you had that chat, but A)- might want to spend a little more quality vs quanity time with her, and B)- give her a little one on one time. It could be nothing more than she is bummed out about the latest two of us trip that turned into 3, or it could run deeper, but for Lauren's sake, anything you can do to maybe facilitate some of that hurt not being there would be good for her. KWIM? (see, I can learn too!
)
I so totally agree 150%! And it seems like you have the kind of relationship with him that you could do this, for the sake of the kids. But because I don't feel well, he is heretofore to be referred to as exa$$face!
As far as your photobook question, so I logged into my account and found the two types the offer...
** Professional Photobook - 69.99
1. Unlimited use of ALL photos (I view that as Disney Photopass shots like the castle, etc, your photopass shots, and the shots you uploaded from your camera)
2. Sewn & Bound Premium Padded Charcoal Hard Cover (Padded is nicer)
3. Personalized foil stamped cover (Can get this done for about $10)
**Personal Photobook - 49.99
1. Unlimited use of my uploaded photos (just the ones you uploaded from your camera, I think)
2. Sewn & bound with Deluxe black hard cover (no padding, just hard cover probably covered with a paper. I'm thinking like EK Success ones probably)
SO being the overly nutty analitical type, I go in and try to create a dummy Personal Photobook, and POOF there is our answer to the side "Upgrade Your Photobook! To use Disney's Photopass and Photo Gallery photos in your book, upgrade to Disney's Professional Photobook!"
Ah, yes, now I remember!
So there you go....
He is only 20 months old. She hates it. I have a graco quattro too and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I am going to take that one with us this time since we will be in the park longer days and it lays flat. I am just afraid of going thru airport security it wont fit thru the Xray machine?
I could reach through this computer and hug you! That was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I was on the fence about the Metrolite because I LOVED my Quatro Tour so much with Nicolas. To know that your aunt hates hers and you love the Quatro, that makes it easier for me. I may just get the Maclaren tomorrow and then take the DuoGlider to Disney. After all, I did say I needed a small one to get into the stall with Nicolas - sometimes I get too carried away in analyzing stuff.
I'm not going to be swayed by that - they will find a way to get it through!
PLEASE tell me I'm stupid to be swayed by the speaker thing. I think that is my draw! That and the air filled wheels, but the size really puts me off!
) My poor baby! She's in a funk about her dad lately too; think this is a result of him bringing the wife to NYC w/them last week. Which leads me to something I'll let you all in on......
That's not too weird, right? I mean, I compare it to when people tell you to write someone you're mad at a letter, then don't send it - just feel relieved to get those feelings off your chest. But I feel so bad for her! She's never going to feel the same way about her dad again; I just hope this doesn't screw her up with men for the rest of her life!
so I went to Babies R Us about obsessing over the computer yesterday, armed with a $20 off and a 15% coupon that they let me combine
