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

[Debbie6221]

Hi Buddies,

Hope you are all doing well. I am good. Just been running around, trying not to spend too much time surfing the web! The computer is SUCH an escape for me. I love it but I have a lot to do around here. My place looks like such a cluttery mess!

Took my DD for a haircut on Friday had a Memorial Service and a Birthday party at Rainforest Café today.

My arm still hurts and the Naproxen seems to have no affect (I am sure it takes time). It does make me gain weight for some reason though. Don't like that! I haven’t had any anxiety where I felt I wanted to take the meds I got but I was wondering if I should try it out to see how it affects me???? BELIEVE ME I am glad nothing is making me feel like I need to take it.

I still can’t believe I didn’t get sick when everyone else did. It’s like a miracle!

My Mom called for airfare to Orlando for the first week in June and said the prices were terrible! That’s when I am turning 40 so I want to be on vacation for it!!!!

I am glad you guys like the pix and threads I post. I just like to share stuff with you guys…Hope you don’t ever mind.

TINKLVR You are almost at your one week mark! So….exciting! I thought we might go in March and now I am hoping to visit in June but if all else fails we will most likely go in the fall again.
Oh, the pharmacist gave me Lorazepam instead of Ativan…any opinions on generics???

PAMHow's life? Are we going to get anymore pix? I liked them. Does your older DD like Highschool Musical? We are going to the live concert on Friday and I think I am more excited then my DD!

LISA Sorry about DD being out of sorts. There is nothing worse to me then not getting enough sleep too. As long as I get my sleep I seem to be able to deal with things much better. Is that why your post says 1:30ish in the morning! Yikes!
I feel my anxiety is directly effected by my hormones, lack of sleep or if I am feeling under the weather.

FROMSCRATCH We miss you….Please come back!

Hey, do you guys think this thread is the right spot by being under trip planning or do you think it should be in the community boards????

HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEKEND! See ya tomorrow!
GO BEARS!!!!!

Debbie- Yes, that is why I post late sometimes. I try to sleep when she does. Sometimes, I just can't fall asleep because she changes her schedule way easier than I can. I am getting her back to a little better schedule. She fell asleep earlier last night than the night, or should I say morning, before. My anxiety is at its highest lately because of hormones and lack of sleep.
We probably should move this to the Community Board if you know how. I was glad you started it here though because I never went to the Community Board before.
I wish I was better at posting pictures. I love to see your pix.
Well, gotta go.

 

[Debbie6221]

Way To Go Chicago Bears!!!! It was ugly but we did it!​

I'll be back later i hope...
Lisa, I was thinking of shooting for lunch on Tuesday at the Food Court. What do you think?

 

[disneyohana]

Debbie - Sounds good. Is 12:00 a good time? Or would your rather a little earlier or later?

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi, all. I PMed with Debbie several days ago and said that I was about to come here and catch up on this thread, but one of my daughters distracted me. Actually she needed me because she didn't feel well. Since then my other daughter has gotten sick as well and now me. So I'm really dragging, but I'll get back with y'all soon. (After I recover! Feel free to send me a little pixie dust! )

 

[Debbie6221]

Back!! FromScratchMom...I hope you feel better soon! It REALLY stinks to be sick or have sick ones in the family.
Pam...where ya been? Hope all is well on your end.
Lisa..it was GREAT meeting you and hanging out with you today.
Tinklvr...hope everything is going smooth sailing.
Hi everyone else!

Hey, guys! I had a tooth 911 this weekend (ouch) and also I am and DD3 is also . Will it ever end? We both have a stomach virus. DH got into work (70 miles away) was there for an hour and had to come back home. I am very grateful for that. I slept all day until 2pm and here it is 1:00am and I can't sleep. I have to get up at 6am. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping for the past several weeks..getting up several times a night. I don't drink any caffeine so

Hope everyone is doing well. Tink have a great time on your trip!

Will post more when we are feeling better.

Pam

Hey, guys! I had a tooth 911 this weekend (ouch)

Same here! I cracked a tooth, and am off to the dentist today.

 

[Debbie6221]

Pam and Sewer...Sorry about your teeth troubles. That has to be the worst!
Plus, Pam sorry you guys are sick. It's a rough time of year I think. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon.

Tink...4 days! Yeah! Hope you can stop by here to say bye! I hope your trip is the best!
Debbie

 

[disneyohana]

Pam -Sorry to hear that you guys are sick. For me it seems like it never ends. Well, actually it ends about springtime to summertime. I get sick the most in the fall and winter. I've had three different illnesses. Yikes. Where is my immune system? Hope you guys get better soon.

Oh and sorry about both of you w/your teeth. I have just begun the root canal stage of tooth problems. Right after DD was born.

 

[Debbie6221]

DD got sick at school first thing this morning and I had to go get her. She got sick again at home but that has been it. I am hoping it's a small bug. We have the HSM concert tomorrow and I don't want anything to ruin it. We have been looking forward to it for so.... long!
Pam..... I hope your family is doing better!
Tinklvr....you are almost out the door!
Lisa..I hope your DD is OK (not sick).
Gotta run...
Debbie

 

[sewer]

The dentist said only a crown is necessary, thank God! It was the root canal thing that really had me worried.

 

[Debbie6221]

Glad you are OK sewer. I hate anything that has to do with the dentist!

DD is still feeling pretty lousy. I hope it's just a 24 hour thing and she is as good as new tomorrow. Next, hopefully the rest of the family can avoid it!

TINKLVR......I'm gonna miss you (but am so......excited for ya!)
DisneyOhana (AKA Lisa) I hope your current sleep schedule is working out well!
PAM I hope YOU and your family is doing better.

Hi, my name is Debbie and I am a control freak!
UPDATE: This has become an ongoing thread where people can come and talk about their worries, anxiety, control issues, trip planning, holiday complaining, anything you want to vent about thread!
There is also our trip check list included in this thread.

Now back to me.....
Anyone else out there like me? I can't stand when things are out of my hands. I worry about everything too! Please join us so you don't feel alone. We can all crab about stuff together and talk to someone who understands how we feel.
WDW is kind of good for our kind. We can make reservations, look at schedules, and have a plan for the whole trip but.....
don't throw any curve balls our way like refurbishments or a bad view or God forbid someone gets sick!
We might go crazy, out of our minds, coo coo.

Because I am a control freak this also adds up to "worry freak" too.
Worrying that stuff is going to go wrong that you can't fix!
Am I alone?

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....

We are crazy though so we can put EVERYTHING on ours!

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....
