FromScratchMom and DisneyOhana are you the only ones left here at this thread????? Just wondering. We can't be the only people who worry, right?So FromScratchMom you go at Christmas and Disneyohana in May, right? I am here for you if you have any questions. Where are you guys staying again???

 

[disneyohana]

Thanks FromScratchMom for the hugs. Good luck w/your Christmas shopping. My husband is like your 15 yr old. He likes tools and video games and electronics. But not just any tool, vg, elec. He is picky. It is good that he wants the best of everything for the best price but for Christmas I always had a hard time being excited for him opening presents. I had to throw a surprise gift in. Now with my dd though it will be so fun. She loved last Christmas and she was only 1.

Debbie6221, I'm glad you sent me that link for a ticker. I would love to count down the days. We are going to the Caribbean Beach Resort. We've stayed there twice and my nephew loved it so we thought for a mod. my dd would have a good time. We actually wanted to stay at the Poly or Yacht Club. We stayed at both before but for a lot less money than it is now. The Grand Floridian looks beautiful but I didn't realize how great it could be for kids. Yours looked like they had a great time.

What's wrong w/my ticker? Okay, I should have read up on how to do it, but it seemed so simple. Could you guys help me. Looks like I need to do some work w/my signature, too. Looks pretty boring.

I got it...
You have to copy the bbcode link not the one they show first. It's a bit further down. Try it!

By the way I am really crabby today!!
Maybe it has to do with the fact I spent the day at the Zoo for my daughters field trip in 45 degree cold rainy weather!

[disneyohana]

Thanks Debbie. By the way. I am depressed and a little crabby today. The weather is bothering me. I wasn't in it all day but it is so dreary. Sorry the field trip couldn't have been yesterday. My sister went to Sunny Acres pumpkin patch yesterday with her 5 yr old autistic son's class and it was at least sunny. Hope it is better next field trip.
Why the new picture? My dd loves it. Just wondering if you had to change it or if you're just playing around. Well, I looked at the Chicago thread a little but I have to put my dd to bed soon. I thought I would write to my already friend first. Hope tomorrow is sunny.

Hi,
I just like to play around with my pix in my sig. I tried to shrink the statue one and I can't and now this one won't reduce either at photobucket. Peter Pan was my DDs favorite so I took a picture of that to remind us! Oh well. I hope your day is good tomorrow too. Yours too FromScratchMom. It will be Friday!

I am one of those people who needs sun. Plus I am stressing about all the upcoming planning (DD Bday, Thanksgiving, Christmas) plus I have to find a way to get the kids in for flu shots. My DD is gonna die! She is deathly afraid now of all that stuff!
Good night.
Debbie

 

[disneyohana]

My dd had an appt. to get her flu shot and they didn't have the vaccine yet so they cancelled it. I know how you feel. My dd cries the minute we walk into the doctor's office. They can't even weigh her. She wiggles too much. Almost every visit there is some shot she needs. Even when she went in for a cold, they gave her a shot for croup.

I need the sun too! That is one great thing about booking our trip for December. We will get a little more sun light than we would if we stayed in Ohio! I struggle with depression every winter.

I hope your daughter does ok with her shot, poor thing. I know some kids just can't cope with it, but sometimes they get better as they get older. My fifteen-year-old who was not so bad when he was young has decided that he hates needles and isn't going to cooperate with any shots in the future.

FromScratchMom and DisneyOhana are you the only ones left here at this thread????? Just wondering. We can't be the only people who worry, /QUOTE]


Oh, no! I definitely follow this thread as I am a die hard worrier and control freak.

 

[jaurban]

Add me to the control freak and worry wart list as well. I ultra-plan everything. DH thinks I am nuts, although he does appreciate it when things fall into place and he did not have to handle it. He doesn't understand when I "freak out" over small things, like "catch the milk cup before it falls off the edge of the table" - but big things don't affect me as much. I guess its because I feel I can prevent a small accident or something like that.

The trick for our upcoming visit to WDW will be the things that throw off a plan. I am trying to keep in mind that the plan is just that, the plan, and we may not get everything in, and that is ok... and we'll still have a great time.

 

[Debbie6221]

I think the worriers worst enemy on vacation is probably the weather....
What do you guys think?
Or maybe flight delays if you have connecting flights???
Or what if they lose your luggage? That would be bad.
Or if your reservations get lost....
maybe a ride is going to be closed for refurbishments....
crowds....that can be annoying. O
Oh my luggage broke when I was packing to leave.
And don't let anyone forget their drivers licenses.
Hope the car renatl place has the car you want!
Oh, how I could go on. The control freak in me is still all obsessed with the fact GF said I didn't leave anything in that room drawer when I know I did!!!!!! (I suppose it was my fault though)
Have an awesome weekend!
Debbie

By the way...I know I just got back but I want to go to WDW in December. We have never done Christmas season there!

Hi Again Everyone,

I made an observation tonight while I was self analizing myself, which I do often. As I was getting ready to go out tonight I was thinking about how I don't really like to go out anymore. It then reminded me of how much I partied when I was younger and how now I don't even drink (maybe one or two on occasion). It's not that I'm not social. The problem isn't alcohol either. Everyone else can consume as much as they want. I always feel sorry for my DH because he would love to go out all the time but I would just rather stay home with the kids. Part of the reason that I hardly drink anymore is because I have little ones and I don't think I could bare getting up to care for them with a hang over but another part of me says it's a control thing. If I drink I worry WAY too much about what's going to come out of my mouth that I can't take back and so forth. It's like I can NEVER let my guard down anymore. I haven't always been this way. There were signs of the control thing in college I guess. My friends used to tell me that we always had to do what I wanted to do. I did realize I had control over what we did because I was the one with the car, etc, etc. but I at least let loose, went out, stayed up past my bedtime! Now there is no room in my brain for that. Alcohol induced babbling mouth???? That's like my worst nightmare. I love to talk (as you see) but every word is well thought out before it is said out loud. Even typing this post, I will read it a hundred times before I actually post it. Another thing about how I "used" to be is the fact that I did put my foot in my mouth or give people too much information and now I try VERY hard to not do that.
I want to lighten up!
I do think I need to see a shrink sometimes!
I guess this is all coming from the guilt about not ever wanting to go out anymore. My poor DH would love it if I wanted to go out more.
Any of you homebodies???
Thanks for listening!!!!

 

[Debbie6221]

Maybe we should make it our goal to compile a list that we can keep, cut, and paste, etc. that would serve as some sort of check list that leaves nothing out. I am sure someone has already done this but we could do it again....

I'll start and then whoever wants to add on can just copy, paste and add on then repost....

I bet we could get the ultimate list for us worrying control freaks so that nothing, I repeat nothing can go wrong....

BEFORE TRIP LIST
Make sure all ADR are made at 180 days, save all confirmation numbers in your WDW trip folder.

Make copies of the credit cards you will be bringing and using on the trip to keep seperate from actual cards.

Call every few weeks before hand to confirm your reservations at the hotel are OK.

TRAVEL DAY
Make sure everyone has there Driver's Licence's (ID)

DURING TRIP
Collect all maps and schedules so you can plan out where and when you will be doing what on each day (there's no time to waste)

LEAVING TRIP
Check all drawers and under beds and furniture (don't forget the bathtub area)

Again, rememeber IDs

 

[Debbie6221]

Since we are already a little nuts we can put ANYTHING & EVERYTHING on our list from the big things like making advanced dinner reservations to the little things like don't forget to put away & save your hotel toiletries each day so you can get more for at home! Coo Coo!
