Happy Belated Mother's Day everyone.

That's the story of my life: a day late and a dollar short...

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hiya all again - you're making me blush with all the warm welcomes -
Thank You!!
Love those cute pics !!!

We already had mother's day here in the UK - March 18th, I tried to get away with saying there was another one... but since I was already spoiled with breakfast in bed once this year , I didn't get away with it... hey ho - I think we should get Mother's day of every country we visit!!

Anyone got any tips for me on which of the MANY books to buy about Florida/Disney/(shhhhh Universal) one for an OBSESSIVE planner of course.... I'm not to good with the ones which start "Hey go with the flow and enjoy yourself..."

Ta ta
Tessa

Thanks Tessa! I really love the "Passporter" www.passporter.com
They review all of the rides, the dining, the resorts, the shopping, etc. They tell you how to get around, and rate everything. Happy Planning - it's almost my favorite part of travelling!

I gang. I've been having a few anxious days. I always feel like if one little thing hits me at a time I am OK but if I get hit with a few I don't do as well. I am trying to just brush it all off but my mind just races! One of the things is my neighbor keeps yelling at my DD. My DD is no saint but it's starting to irritate me. Of course I could go into long explinations about everything but I won't subject you to it. The other thing is we had a Anniversary dinner for my inlaws on Saturday and that whole process caused me to stres a bit. The thing is is in the big picture it's all really no big deal but for now I am trying to just chill and get over it!
Thanks for listening!

Sorry you have been having such a hard time! I would find it upsetting if my neighbor was yelling at my kids too. Unless they are about to hurt themselves or someone else or are breaking things, doesn't seem like it is any of the neighbor's business, and even if there is something upsetting going on, the neighbor should be TALKING to you, not yelling at a child. That is just wrong.

I always stress over dinners and such with my inlaws too. They are very nice people over all, but they drive me crazy cause they play favorites, and my husband is NOT favored child, nor are my children the favorite grandchild... I don't stress too much over my folks, although holidays are sometimes touchy with my mother, she tends to worry herself until she snaps and flips out on everyone over something little (like the pickles in the "wrong" dish)...Its crazy but what are ya gonna do? This year Mother's Day went smoothly for the first year in 5 years, so I am thrilled about that. I hope your dinner went smoothly, its no fun at all to work so hard and then not have things go well...

 

[Debbie6221]

Thanks. I sometimes feel like I am being too sensitive but I am irritated. My BIL kept making comments about my little ones being at the dinner Saturday night like "looks like it's time for bed
" or "well, he's a boy's boy" and then this one women said "You're kids are so great I can't believe how good the baby is being (he's 1 1/2) and he said" You just sat down". Now I understand he was truely trying to be funny but I finally gave him a dirty look. Well, my SIL called my DH and said I hope Debbie's not mad at BIL. Now I have no idea how they would think I was mad because I said nothing and sat there with a smile on my face until I gave him the look. Maybe they saw my dirty look. But now I'm all worried they think I am a "B"! Crazy, right???

My DHs side is VERY nice too. They just don't do anything like my family and aren't like my side at all. Again, they are very nice but very different then what I am used too.

So I guess things are just piling up.
Our dog (who is like family) is having a hard time with the heat and we think she might have sprained her leg. She's 11 so we always worry aboout her too much.

BTW Sorry to be a doggie downer.

Tessa.......like Tammie (Magicfor2) I really like the Passporter as well. It gives a ton of information and itineraries. I like it better than all the other book (JMO).


Debbie...take a nice, long hot bubble bath tonight..undisturbed..and don't forget a glass of wine.

Next time your neighbor yells at your DD (C'mon she's only 4! The neighbor has NO right unless she is in harms way) politely tell the neighbor that it's your job to discipline your child not theirs. If they do it again....Go Lynnette (Desp. Housewives) on them and don't hold back. You do have the right.

Eh.....the BIL.....well...he was just probably being a b*ob. I mean he is a man. Apparently the slang term for breast is not allowed.

I know...I know... That's why I hope they aren't blowing it out of portion on their end.

 

[Debbie6221]

Oh and I went to BBW to use my coupons "spend $10.00 get a free temptation lotion or Signature lotionfree" coupon. I got Coconut, and Pineapple. Guess where my mind is! Can you say Pina Colada!

Hopefully not! Sounds like your SIL might be a BIT sensitive... and your BIL not sensitive enough, maybe! for you that things will smooth over. And then stress for your poor dog too, no wonder you are worrying...

 

[Debbie6221]

Kristi..I can tell you are one of us! You fit right in! Thanks for your kind words.

Debbie - here's a and a for you... Hope things get better.

 

[disneyohana]

Debbie - Sorry you're having a bad week. Your DD seems like a good kid. I can't imagine what your neighbors are complaining about. Some people just aren't kid people I guess. And as for the BIL, I think that he thinks he is being funny but I do know how you feel. I hate it when there are just too many comments about one thing, it makes it seem like they mean it. I hope you're feeling better.

I love the passporter. I plan on taking the maps and conf. # pages to the parks but leaving the rest of the book at the hotel.

Tammie - Great pics. I love seeing baby pics but it makes me miss having an infant.

Tessa - My DH and I want to go to England some day, me for the beauty and history and my DH for the soccer games and history.

My DD is trying to press buttons so i am going to go.

 

[Debbie6221]

Lisa! I can't believe you are leaving in 3 days!!!!!

I'm doing better. I am just trying to let it all go and move on! The doggie still is limping and my parents don't know what to do. My Chelsea doggie has a LONG story behind her but the short of it is she means a great deal to all of us!

I'll be back again later .

Internet went down again for me last night and just fixed it again with a phone call .

Gads you are having a bad time! Get into the lotus positon, and keep repeating "I'm going to Disney World... I'm going to Disney World". Soon you'll be feeling much better. But do this with caution, it's been known to induce a dream like state!

Hi everyone! I am having a crazy busy week!
Debbie: I'm sorry you have been stressed. Sounds like you are a "people pleaser" it is so hard to let go of stuff cuz we want everyone to approve of us. We are not the favorite, either - now my DS, Ryan is the favorite, so he is closer to my MIL than to me - FRIES ME! But I have to let go!

I love sewer's advice!

As for your doggie, ours had a sprained knee when he was 9, and it would come back on - especially in the cold. The vet gave us some really strong anti-inflammatories for those times, helped him alot!

Hope things are good for you tomorrow!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

LISA! 2 DAYS!!!! Are you packed?

 

[tttessa]

Thanks everyone for the Passporter advice - looked at the website and it looks great -thanks!!!

Debbie - I wish I could give you a hug from here I have such a lovely in-law family - my own is split all over the world, so they made me part of theirs - I know how hard I'd take it if they got "insensitive" with me.... so many many hugs and repeat after me

"I will not let other people's behaviour make me feel bad - it is they who have the problem - I feel sorry for them as they are unable to relate to people in a way which builds positive thought and closeness"

loved "sewer"'s advice too!!!!

"disneyohana" - do do do come across the water - if you're after history you will LOVE it!!!!

thanks all.....

Tessa

Thanks Tessa. Hey, I was in London when I was on Spring break in High School. Loved it! Bad thing was that there was a lot of scaffolding around Big Ben though. It was a bummer. I hope to be back someday.


Have a great day everyone.
