Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........ Part 2

[Camster0307]

Me again! Can you tell I'm bored - just sitting on the couch with the laptop. Anyway - wanted to post this site I had mentioned a while go. It lists all the tv shows that are on for the upcoming week that are about or have footage of WDW or Disneyland.

There's quite a few coming on this week!

So sorry you aren't feeling well Cammie. Do you really have an ulcer?! You better be careful with that!
Kara,
RE: planning...like I have said before we base our days on the ADRs...we all talk about what time we want to get up the night before. I have never been to a rope drop but we have gotten in before the rope drop with CRT ADRs and we have also gone to see the "Good Morning" show. So...I guess it's not that structured of a trip...Your dynamic is different too because you are bring those "other" people.

I have probably lead you guys to believe I love GF for the monorail but the main reason my kids college money(J/K) goes to staying there is so I can keep that balcony door open at all times to hear the magic that comes from MK. I love waking up to the "good morning" song from my room and hearing them welcoming Mickey on my favorite train. I love to hear the train blowing his horn all day, I love to hear the parades and the castle shows...I LOVE MK!!!!! Of course I love taking the monorails but I love watching them on route too. I love the boats and ferry tooting their horns...I just love feeling like I am literally in a whole different world..

Well enough about that.........
I am feeling melancholy I guess.........


So in regards to your plans Kara...it will all be fine. I went in May and don't remember it being packed. We also do not use TGM and have never checked to see what the crowds are expected to be like. We have left a park because it was packed and just go back to the pool.

Hi Tammie, Jillian, Laura, Renee.......

I better go get some work done. If I showed you what my place looked like right now you guys would disown me as you friend!

Cool! BTW I used that Flightview.com to track my P's flight. VERY cool!
Was that from Renee? Loved it!

 

[Debbie6221]

The cool thing is I have "Disney World" programed on a wish list for TIVO and it automatically records all those shows!

 

[Debbie6221]

Sorry I went on my little GF tangent...
I guess this weather is bringing me down and I needed to think about my happy place.......

So you know what that means.....





PICTURES!!!

Good morning.....good morning........................

I tried that when we had Tivo through DirecTV - never worked. Now I have the DVR through the cable co. - no longer have that capability.

And, no, I've never officially been diagnosed with an ulcer. I always joke that, with my life, I surely MUST have one by now! What does an ulcer feel like? If it's a burning feeling in your stomach, then maybe I should get it checked out! In the meantime, I'll just sit here and complain and make my DD wait on me!

Yes this is exactly correct. We happen to have enough mortgage interest to make itemizing worth it. Did HR Block look at all that stuff for you? I'm sorry. I was hoping that it would work out for you.

H&R-don't get me started. No, the didn't make any recommendations, and quite honestly, I think they were a little stumped with some of the things we had to deal with. DH & I commented that we feel we have outgrown them. We'll see. I'm still looking for the return. DH went and completed everything, and I just went to sign this year so I feel completely out of the loop.

Oh just rub it in.

Still cold here. Kara your discussion of the parks has made me second guess my choices. We are pretty much avoiding the EMH, although I have early AM breakfast ressies. I just need to let things be. I have a park hopper pass if we change our minds during the day.
QUOTE] I"m not sure if anyone can tell you about it, but if you want to eat lunch at McD's any during your stay and 5000 ADRs there seemed to be a really BIG really cool looking one almost as you get to the All Stars. DS was drooling just about every time we passed there. I think he was interested more in going there than MK that second day. If you have a car and some down time. It has like 2 story McDonalds characters on the outside - you can't miss it if you try!

I still feel so lousy - my stomach is killing me! I can't figure out what did this to me: could have been dinner last nite or maybe it's just the giant ulcer I have eating away at my insides that's acting up again. Older DD has really been giving me a hard time since she's been back home - alot of work with her these past few days. It's stressing me out! What stinks is that when I'm stressed, I usually like to eat, but because of the stomache, the only thing I can keep down is crackers and water.

So not a fun day here!

Sorry Cammie! YUCK! I can imagine that DD is a little out of sorts. Change isn't good on anyone. Is there anyone who could give you a little downtime - maybe a nice soak in the tub? I wish I lived closer! I would!

We went on our quest. Kroger DID have Evenflo pacis, just not the style I needed. The only place I can find them is the internet, and I really need to see in detail the way the nipple is shapped. If it is flat, DD won't have it. She loves the MAM ones and they have a very unique nipple which is making this so hard. I don't know what to do. She insists she isn't switching though.

I've been under a lot of pressure this weekend to let DS watch more Big Boy things - like Power Rangers, American Dragon, etc. I've been accused of "Not Cutting the Cord" as well as other things. DS makes that choice not me. I feel like if he refuses to watch the movie NEMO and the movie Lion King, then we don't need to be watching the other stuff. I'm getting so Whatever with them anyway.

Yesterday, I got pushed over the limit. DSB, DSF, DM, the kids and I had breakfast together yesterday. I told dear SF it was a shame that DS had loved animals all his life and we decided to take him to Disney to see the Safari, and it was ruined by DM who told him, "I'd be scared that the lions would bite me". My DM just laughed and told him again, and I total abandoned all sense I had and said, "stop telling him lies. It is absolutely not funny or cute, and I'm tired of you upsetting him over nothing" Now, I said what I needed to, and I'm glad that I did that but I so hate I did it in front of DS. He had that scared face when she said that again and I was TICKED to say the least. WTH? He was even asking about if there are lions at our zoo and then said, "good, so they won't bite me" when I told him no.

I need to have a talk with DS about what I said I guess, but I don't even know how to address it. Nana sometimes says things that aren't true sound so cruel. I don't know. I still want him to think she is perfect, even though she isn't. I just hate that he WOULDN"T even ride the KS again with the fastpass. That was just something we thought he would LOVE. Now, when I told him the Jungle Cruise was puppets - he was in LOVE with that. How sad is that. Except I had to quickly divert his attention on the lion/zebra scene. Zebras have been his favorite, and lets say we've kept animal "food" a secret so far. That Zebra being lunch --

I think if you have a "real" ulcer it is seriously painful. Like you wouldn't be able to bare it! I don't know though.



Renee...I feel so bad for you. I would be FUMING ! Maybe just tell DS that Nana gets mixed up about things sometimes beacuse of things she has seen that were make believe on TV or in a scarey movie - not in real life.... I don't know....

 

[Debbie6221]

LOVE this one.......................

 

[Camster0307]

Renee - I think one of the best things you can teach your DS is that people AREN'T perfect - especially his grandmother. We all say the wrong things sometimes or do the wrong thing - but it doesn't mean we love that person any less. I don't know if you blatantly tell DS that your DM is lying - maybe just - she doesn't always know what she's talking about but we love her anyway. Reassure him that your his mom and he will always get the real truth from you and will always be protected. How's that?

Nope, Kara maybe?

I'm actually tracking DH flight. He said they came on and announced a 15 minute delay while they changed to a new plane He's been gone since Thur and so ready to be home!

Yes Cammie. I was diagnosed at 10 with one. It does feel exactly like a burning feeling in your stomach. It ususally comes in waves for me when it is starting out and I notice it more like 3-4 seconds after swallowing. Try chewing 4 Tums, if you get a little relief, then definately get it checked out. You can now get a lot of the meds that use to be prescription OTC, but you need to make sure that is what you are dealing with. My SIL said that almost 75% of all female cardiac cases she ends up with enter the ER with complaints about their stomach.

I stold a lot of these pix from the POTD thread so I so wish I could give credit where credit is due but no one reads or looks at our thread anyway!

Oh - great!

 

[Debbie6221]

Oh - great!

Don't be monkeying around than!

 

[Debbie6221]

Do you guys want more pix?

Like you guys would say "no" to me.....

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Ooooh - I so want to see this in June!

More! More! More!

What the heck did I miss down there - while I had bfast in the MK before opening, is that what I missed??? Dang it!

Ulcer - no, you can stand it if it is mild. It just hurts. Burns actually, like a painful burning. If I take motrin for more than 2 days, I get one every time. Or if I deal with DM for more than a few days it gets going too

Renee - I think one of the best things you can teach your DS is that people AREN'T perfect - especially his grandmother.

Oh Cammie, can I move you in with me? Seriously!!! That is what I need to say to him. No, I don't want him to know that she is lying (nor that as a matter of day to day activities she sees no problem with it either) but that is a great idea to tell him to ask me and I will tell him the truth. I'm very honest with him about everything, but I do try to temper my response with how much I think he can handle based on his age.

Yesterday we went to see the dogs for adoption, he runs in looking for our dog who I had to put to sleep 1 1/2 yrs ago. He was 2 1/2 at the time. He said , "Where is she" and then gets mad because God isn't there to give her back and if God is going to keep her and not share, we need a new dog. I couldn't respond. I knew I would cry. I just choked out we'd have a family meeting tonight when Daddy gets home. Brother. This is going to be hard.
