Hi Ladies! Today as Cammie knows, I woke up about 4:30am after going to sleep at 12am. So I read on the DIS until I went back to sleep. Jim called me at 7:30 to wake me up so I could be on a call at 8:30 - the gals I was supposed to talk to weren't available. The kids had their schedule change at the last minute, so left me with the babies at 8:40. It's cloudy and rainy today, so I'm in bed "checking my email, which is so important " I need to get into my office later, but I just feel so lazy.

Debbie, thanks for the reminder. I just bought a printer. I should have looked at Sunshine rewards first.

Kara, you little Susie Homemaker you! Thanks for the recipes! I'm not sure about tea tree oil. It seems to be a little strong. Maybe the friend who gave it to you will know. It will be fun to see your pics of the photobook! It is really addicting, isn't it! I want to be on Renee's weekend scrapping.

Cammie, I hope Amanda is feeling okay. Are you able to relieve her congestion? I'm sure she is happy to have you home with her.

Laura! I hate it when things like that happen close. So far we have been okay in our neighborhood, but we are close to some low income apartments and a bar, which is along the bike path near us. I worry sometimes about who is wandering around after the bar closes.

Pam, I didn't see your post with the pics yesterday.... really cute pics of your daughter! Love the dog, too!

Hi Jillian, Tessa, Erin, Bye Renee!

Cammie...yep 12 going on 20. Mine too. DD wants a little more independence, and can have little, but not much. I am surprised at how some parents will let their kids do things. I a m just so scared something would happen to my DD. There are weirdos everywhere. I don't know how we'll get through the teen years. WHere I come from they still leave their keys in the cars at night. Not here. I am smack dab in between D.C. and Richmond so either way it's only an hours drive. I have to start praying now.

Same thing here. I'm shocked that some of Lauren's classmates are dropped off at the movies or the mall for the night! Lauren's lucky if I let her sit in her own row at the movies with her friends; I wouldn't even consider going into a different theater let alone not even be in the building! I know I'm going to have to lighten up eventually, but I'm just not ready yet. I'm lucky Lauren's not too adventurous - she seems to like knowing I'm close by for now.

Kara and/or Debbie - I know you two like to cruise the Design boards. Do either one of you recall seeing designs for a mom/daughter special trip?. The one I'm thinking of had The Duchess and Marie from the Aristrocats in front the castle. I can't for the life of me remember who did it. I thought it would be cute for our trip.

 

[karajeboo]

Cammie yes I remember that!!!! Let me see if I can find it....

 

[DizzyErin]

My haven't you ladies been busy .. so much to catch up on hahaha
Ok so before i start i wanted to say Hello to everyone as i read through different people were saying hey and now i can't remember who hahaha sorry

Thanks Debbie glad you're liking the piccies

Erin - Great pictures from Disney Paris! Do they do Photopass there? If so, did you get it?

Thanks .. No they don't do photopass as far as i know i didn't even see 1 photographer .. however the pics would include 15 other people as they have no lines for characters just an elbow and a shove ... that part was awful awful and really wound me up big time

I just ran down to my neighbor's house and I'm so embarassed! Her house looks like a model home - spotless! And she has a 4 year old and an 8 year old! Why can't I do that??? Also, she gave me some pure tea tree oil for Ally's little bug problem. Anyone know how much to put in her shampoo? Tessa? Erin??

Sorry i only buy it as a shampoo rather than an oil, i'd guess at a few drops but i really wouldn't know sorry Kara

The rest of us have messy, unorganized houses because we're living life and giving attention to the more important things!

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

Oh i'm with you .. I only have 1 child who is at school all day, no husband or partner or boyfriend (or whatever they are called now haha) and no job ... yet my house is still sooo messy so girls i say sit back and relax and don't worry xxxxx

So, I leave in the morning - hope I feel better soon. Pretty miserable. So there is my update. Hope everyone is doing well,n next week!atch you all when I get back in town next week!

Renee i don't know if you have gone yet but feel better and take care of yourself

That took me so long to write there are probably more things i want to say hahaha

Just thought the only photographers i saw were when we lined up for Mickey and Minnie ... who by the way are the only 2 they have proper lines for .. Did i mention that drove me nuts????

When we were there last summer, just Mickey had a proper line; Minne - it was every child for himself! I couldn't believe the handlers would just let the character get swarmed like that. We tried to be patient and polite, but people just kept pushing; so I grabbed the four kids we were with and pushed them in front of Minnie while my girlfriend formed a strong-arm wall so we could get a picture!

And, speaking of crazy - the Nov. and Dec. hours have finally been posted! Both threads are going WILD! It's funny over there!

 

[karajeboo]

Oh, Erin that would have wound me up too! I can't stand the pushing and shoving! In fact, I've become a bit, uh, mouthy with people of late so I would probably have started a riot or something! Last night I ran up to AC Moore to get a poster frame for Ally's HM poster (last day of school surprise!) and this woman that was parked in the space next to the one straight in front of me had her back door open and was doing something bent over in the back seat, so I couldn't pull through. I sat there for a minute waiting for her to see me and at least partially close the door, but she had no intention of moving. I made a snide remark as I walked past. Then a woman was flying through the parking lot as I was leaving and I partially stepped into her path (yeah, I'm a smart one!) and hollered at her to slow her A** down cause there's kids around (but it'a apparently okay to yell A** around kids!). I was just in a mood yesterday! It's no wonder someone didn't flatten me!

OK, so my neighbor asked if I could watch their son when he got off the bus with Ally today cause they're out getting a new car. Sure no problem. Then when she called to check on him, I realized that she's going to be stopping by the house to pick him up!!! I have vacuumed, swept and mopped the foyer and kitchen, put all the crap away in the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher, scrubbed my counters - just because I'm a spaz that way and don't want my neighbor to think I'm a pig! OK, see? That is the Susan in me! No Bree in my housecleaning!

 

[Camster0307]

You're crazy!

Cammie...congrats on the release of hours. Are they everything you hoped they would be!!!
Osborne lights?

 

[Camster0307]

Still no schedule of special events - except for MVMCP. The EMHs aren't even listed on the WDW calendar; but they're on the passporter site. Weird!

 

[soontobewed07]

Kara I can bet my house is worse right now. Badookie has been in a mommy mood the last few days and now the house is a disaster.

Cammie- The Park hours are great I am just waiting for TGM to release the parks. I made my ADR's and here they are

11/12- Crystal palace 8:05am
11/13- Le Cellier 8pm That should be fun w/ badookie

11/15- 1900 PF 5pm

11/16- Boma 10:45am/ 'Ohana 7:55pm

11/17- Chef Mickey's 5:05pm

So I hope we can meet up at some point.

 

[Camster0307]

Your ADRs look good, Jillian. I have a rough draft of a schedule myself; I need to now look over the hours and the EMHs and make sure I'm where I need to be. On Sat., the 15th, that is our last full day, so I'm pretty sure we'll be at MK; but the we have ADRs at LeCellier. Will you be at MK during the day? That's the weekend Kara was coming also. We still have a lot of time to figure this out. I have two sets of calendars and ADRs in front of me -- June and November. I'm sooooo confused right now!

 

[karajeboo]

Jillian and Cammie - y'all just tell me where and I'll be there!

 

[karajeboo]

OK, now that I've freaked y'all out with my home made taco seasoning, I guess I should spring it on you - I'm making homemade pizza dough now for Ally and I for dinner! Jeff got me a bread maker 3 or 4 years ago and it was kind of a joke. He found it for $20 and thought, what the heck. I LOVE IT!!! It's so easy and the pizza crust is awesome! Plus I make Italian loaves or french bread. Nothing real crazy, but figured you would laugh. I haven't used it since we moved and I whipped it out on Saturday for pizza and Jeff and I proclaimed that his sauce and my crust make the BEST pizza ever!

Cammie..good luck with Osborne lights! How's Amanda feeling?
