Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too (Part 2)

[Debbie6221]

On Live365 I am listening to an hour MK Mainstreet Loop! Love it! Mouse Radio is the station title.

Hi Renee! Sorry for your stress. I can TOTALLY relate to the DH fight!
Kara...Mark left to fish this morning at 4 for two days...
Plus...you need to go answer all my posts to you. Hip? Weather? Etc...

 

[soontobewed07]

just catching up.... kara your cakes inspired me to post this creation

I could never have the imagination to do that. I am not a decorating artsy type person If I can buy it I will. You did a beautiful job.

I'm being so psychic here when I say, don't roll your eyes at me Kara, but have you tried organic dairy? All those hormones in the milk can make girls get PMS/AF at 8 they say. It might be worth it for a month or so to see if there is a mood shift.

I'll chime in on other things later...

BUT CAMMIE - I need that laugh so bad today. It was great! My friend is stressing, bigtime stressing, so I must do this for her. You know.

Ricky (I called him that some time back joking he was like Ricky Ricardo in I Love Lucy). He curses in spanish when he stubs his toe, etc.

Okay, off to start my project. I promise to catch up with you guys tomorrow. Some trips are getting so close!

And for the 3 night thing - the kids for whatever reason are homebodies. Nicolas started it at night 2 at WDW. i thought it was because Carlos wasn't there. Mia was all out of sorts about missing her room. Nicolas started at day 3 asking HOURLY if we could go home - he missed his "stuff" and his bedroom. I'm okay with it, cause that just means when Mia is 4 or so we need to go back for a whole week.

We Bring Home things with us on vacation even if we are only going for a day or 2 like Pillow blankie and a few toys. I know it is extra to pack but I get home sick I can imagine how munchkins feel. I think 4 days for Disney will be great, but keep in mind traveling really does a number on you even more so with kids. Maybe 5 days would be a good compromise? Then just in case flights get delayed you can have an extra day built in and if you get that extra free time you can use it as a pool day!

Now keep in mind where we live, 3 nights really can be 4 full days. We can be on a plane at 5 am or 7 am and get there very early. Then we can fly out as late as 8pm I think. We might bump up to 4 but my gut is that the kids will be "done" by then. I just really think so based on this trip and the one before with Nicolas.

Renee - it's funny you mentioned that about the hormones in milk, I was just talking with another mother not too long ago about how the girls today look so much older, they are starting their periods younger, filling out younger, etc, and we think it's from all the hormones in meat, dairy, you name it!

Have you ever tried soy milk? I keep seeing the commercials for it and I'm wondering if it tastes like milk? I am a big milk drinker, too, but we always drink skim, always have. Except for baking around the holidays, then I keep whole milk on hand for that.

I'll check back later - just wanted to get in a quick post.

Kara we use hormone free milk or organic milk ONLY they do have skim milk that is organic. You would be amazed at all of the things at the organic store taste the same or better than processed. We buy alot of Newmans products cookies, salad dressing pasta sauce. Also the have yummy breakfast bars and some great cheese and things you can pack in Ally's lunch. One day go and check it out.

Well as for us not much going on it is a gloomy yuck day here and I have some cleaning and organizing to do. I think maybe I will just do laundry and then I going for a pedicure later on tonight. Mike and I may go on a date other than that a siple day.

Hey, ladies, can y'all check this out and let me know what you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270275356704 It's my ebay listing for Ally's old flower girl dress. I just had it dry cleaned and it's 100% perfect!!! She was so cute when she wore it, with her hair in a little bun, so precious! Did I price it too hight? I mean seriously, it's PERFECT condition, and it cost over $100 new!

Debbie, I really am not too worried about the weather. We haven't gotten much rain at all this month, and I keep Orlando pulled up in my radar screen. I don't think they've gotten much either. I'm sure we'll see some PM showers or storms, but I'm not worried about the whole trip being a washout. Hopefully not even a whole day of rain.

As for my hip, it's really more the front of my thigh, way up where it connects to my pelvis. I can actually hear it pop sometimes, but I just don't have the mobility, and it hurts! I'm thinking maybe arthritis. Can 29 year olds get arthritis?

I just emailed my boss and asked him if he could reroute calls to me over Christmas so we can spend the week at my parents house. We'll see....

 

[Debbie6221]

A CM told my Mom it has been raining there like crazy and that this is there "all day" rainy season...***!


The Ebay listing looks good. Ally is so cute!!!!

Hi Jillian.

The thing about organic is it does get pricey! Plus, I once saw a list of stuff that you don't have to buy organic because it doesn't matter. I will have to find it.

 

[karajeboo]

Oy vey! I know that Sept is the rainiest month of the year, but I didn't realize it was raining that much! Hey, a rainy day in Disney is still better than a sunny day at home!

I read not too long ago, that a lot of organic food, especially produce, actually can be more dangerous because it has NOT been sprayed for certain pests and diseases, that can be more harmfull than the pesticides. Wasn't it organic spinach that was in the news a couple years ago because of the ecoli?

 

[CRdisMom]

Love Love Love Costco milk. Tim won't drink anything else. So I guess I can cross that one off the list. Now if I could cut down on my corn syrup intake. I guess you could say our meat is organic. it is from a dairy cow in N. Minnesota. We go halfs with our neighbors. Nothing says rual like hauling the coolers up north to get the cow and pig....haahahhah.....

 

[CRdisMom]

BTW way the dres pics are great!

 

[Debbie6221]

Did I miss Pam going somewhere? I I got an auto reply from her email.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Kara - that dress is beautiful! Good putting the pic of Ally so they can see it on and get sizing ideas. You MIGHT want to mention something about shipping time from once pymt is received. Won't you be in WDW when it closes? Also, for my ebay selling, I went to the post office and used their priority boxes they provide for free. I bet you can ship it 3 day priority for 5.35 with insurance. That might help you out some.

I'm so tired I could scream. I am going to put Mia down and jump in the shower and try to finish the rest of my "project". I may be kinda hit or miss the next couple of days. I have so much to do that I need to get a bit more on top of the house. Vacation just always does that. Everything is seriously trashed, bills need to be paid, Soccer games start tomorrow. Always something!

I completely know how you feel.

 

[CRdisMom]

that sounds like my everyday here Renee

 

[Debbie6221]

Exactly!

 

[Camster0307]

Renee - Sorry you're having a bad day. Everything doesn't need to get done at once; tackle one thing at a time - you'll get through it. Hope you feel better.

So I got Debbie's email about facebook and am now realizing that I had probably gotten one from Kara a few days ago and I deleted it. I'm always hesitant to open emails from unusual senders; I didn't know anyone on facebook and couldn't figure out why I got the email - so I deleted w/out opening. Now I know. But what is the deal with facebook? I know what it is -- but what's the point? You guys aren't going to start hanging out over there now,are you?

Question for you rumblytumbly fans: do you guys know if she made any Jonas Bros. t-shirt designs? I would love to make one for Lauren and Amanda to wear at WDW. LimitedToo has JB tshirts for @$25 apiece. Thought I'd try to save some money and attempt to make my own. Do you recall seeing any?

 

[Debbie6221]

I just started the facebook page for the heck of it. I won't chat there cause I won't have enough time. I can't keep up with this thread! BUT I probably will post pix there AND it's fun to look for people there.


Just search "Jonas Brothers Designs" here and see what pops up.

I had the USPS send me boxes and it's 9.80 for priority shipping up to 1 lb. The auction will end on Friday, so I will be able to ship on Monday. That should be good, I think. And this way, the post office picks it up at my house, so I don't have to drag my lazy butt out!

I did a search. Seems that a designer named Amy ( M I C K E Y) did some designs but they have all been removed by photobucket. She has a design website but it says there that she is no longer doing any Disney designs.

Do you think if I just posted on the design board, someone may have something?

 

[karajeboo]

Cammie, not sure if Kari (rumblytumbly) made Jonas Brother, but there are some Camp Rock designs out there. Can't remember who did them, though. I know I saved a couple that someone personalized for Ally. I'd just post a new message on that thread looking for JB designs. Someone will respond!!!

I love the DISign thread!

Are you watching this hurricane??? OMG! They told people in no uncertain terms, "get out or die." Literally. So what happens? People wait, and then put other lives in jeopardy when they need to be rescued. I say, rescue them and throw them in jail. Seriously. Why else would it be called a MANDATORY evacuation???

Yeah...I LOVED Amy but I think she got in trouble from Disney. I am always so confused how some get in trouble and others still do it. Kara do you remember Pat? She lived in another country? She got in trouble too.

I just post a thread that requests what I am looking forward to and I always get something good!

 

[karajeboo]

Did Pat actually say that she got caught? I just remember that she had some health problems, and then she disappeared. Amy is the first one that I remember actually posted that she got caught. Some others have quit designing because people were selling their designs on ebay. hdannis pulled all her beautiful autograph pages because she caught someone using them to make autograph books and selling on ebay.

I'm not doing anything crazy for my trip with Jeff. It will be so much easier to pack. I won't have to worry about autograph book, pressed penny book, pin lanyard, plus half the stuff I haul around in my bag is for her. So this should be much easier.

Then in November since we're only going for such a short time, I probably won't even worry about taking a lot of stuff that I normally pack, like all the "what ifs" like cold medicine, cough medicine, etc. And Ally is really good about carrying her own backpack with her autograph book and pressed penny book. It actually makes it easier that way, cause I can unzip it while she's wearing it and pull it out, without her even taking it off.

They are expecting a WALL of water to hit the coast!!!!

Thanks guys. I'll go post a request. We definitely don't want Camp Rock designs. Lauren can't stand the girl from the movie. She would be happy with a BIG design of Nick's face!
