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

[Debbie6221]

Hi Everyone,
I have just been doing the day-to-day stuff ..actually not too much computer time. My hormones are raging and I am crabby!!!!Oh well....that's life!
Glad everyone sounds like they are pretty much OK.

We made another cool snowman. I will have to download pix. Now the snow is melting…which is kind of sad. Once the sidewalks and streets are clean I really do like the snow if it’s going to be cold anyway!

Today I spent the afternoon at Go Bananas. DD had a blast! I have come to the conclusion that Go Bananas and Dinorex are just the original Jeepers, which were originally Jungle Jim’s! My friend and I said that if they could just combine one of those kinds of places with better coffee or salads then it would be a slam-dunk!

Sentimental question for you guys who have lost a parent or both...Everytime I hear my CD of Lion King On Broadway I cry when I hear that one song Simba sings to his Dad after he has passed. I still have my parents and the song really affects me I just wondered if you guys knew what I meant and if you heard the song? It's a real emotional one to me!

I told you I was hormonal!!!!

My Mom and I decided that we need to figure out our Fall Disney plans before we hit the 180 mark so again I am trying to decide either October or November and am leaning towards November because we have never done that and would love to try and go to the MVMCP (even though I will really miss the MNSSP).

Thanks for the compliments on my siggie. I like playing around with it. Do you guys like my weather report in my siggie? I think it's kind of fun. It's actually been pretty cold in Disney.

Have a good night!
Thanks for listening.
Debbie

Pam Usually by the time it gets to us it is just cold rain. We did get about an hour of fluries though. Now, I don't think we will see any snow the rest of this season.

Does anyone else have a fear of flying ? I do and for some reason I agreed to let my Granny buy us plane tickets to Kentucky for spring break. What was supposed to be a quick flight there has now turned into a layover each way and 4 hours of fly time. The hardest part for me is take off and landing and now I have to do it twice each way. I am freaking out, and it is not even that far of a drive, like 10 hours, I don't even have to get of of 64. Sorry, just had to vent!

Debbie, we went to MVMCP in Dec 05 - it was beautiful!!! It was snowing on Main Street, real snow - in 60 deg. weather The CMs were wearing period costumes with the fur trim, etc. They served hot chocolate and cookies and the parade was beautiful - AND we made our way to the rides while people were watching the parade - we were the only ones on Splash Mountain!!!! Okay, we only glanced at the beautiful parade while sneaking over to the rides with no lines!!


Jacklyn, I'm sorry you don't like to fly. We worry worts can get alot going on in our heads, huh? Just think, getting to see your Grammy will be worth the terror When we went to DL last Summer, my DDIL sat with me and I held her hand while she cried at take off. She was okay after that - she said her biggest problem was knowing she had brought her baby and baby brother on that plane. She enjoyed the flights after that.

 

[Debbie6221]

I love to fly!!!!! I just know it means we are on vacation! I have to admit I got a little goofier about it after I had kids and I don't think I could stand the thought of my kids being on a plane without me. We took DD to Hawaii when she was only 15 months old. It worked out fine but what was I thinking!
I just dread the thought of being in a car so... long!
Have you ever considered taking an anti-anxiety medicine for the flight?

Have a great day everyone!
Debbie

The snow is melting here rather quickly, and I can actually see the roof of my house. The funny part is, last Tuesday we had the snow storm of the century, and yesterday it was raining! There's a Jimmy Buffett song called "Boat Drinks", and at the end he sings "I have to go where it's warm" which sounds like a good idea to me!

Hi Everyone !!! Hope you all are doing well.

Well, we're finally set for our Disneyland trip next month. DS still doesn't know and it's VERY TOUGH to keep this secret. Received our travel vouchers/documents in the mail last week. It was a good thing I picked up the mail that day instead of DS (who usually brings it in...) or the surprise would have been ruined...

Next I need to start packing, which will be a great challenge to do in secret. Like all great worry worts, I start packing weeks in the advance (and tend to over-pack, too) -- after all, you need to be prepared for any and every situation, right ? DH swears I need therapy for the over-packing habit (he maybe right). It's a good thing the DIS has lots of tips for packing...

With regards to flying - well, in my situation, I don't have much of a choice. It's a long flight to ANYWHERE from Hawaii. I've personally never tried any anti-anxiety medication, but a couple of Tylenol PMs help on the long red-eye flights to the West Coast. I don't mind flying, but sometimes I wish we could just jump in the car and drive. Road trips can be a lot of fun.

Keep warm Aloha...

Hey! warm sounds good to me, too We are having our first big snow storm of the winter today - it is supposed to dump on us for 5 days! We had a big girl's weekend planned for our team - have to cancel as all of our DHs are freaking out about our 3 hr drive in the snow in the mountains Okay, they are probably right Guess we'll have to reschedule - maybe I'll make a dent in my taxes.

Ahibird, can't wait to hear about your DL trip. We love DL!

Have a great day everyone - I'd better get going - the roads are bad today. Tammie

Lisa- i just replied to your post on the only child thing, I didn't even pay attention to who posted it. I went through the whole to have another or not thing. DD was such a handful, until she was almost 3 I swore I would not have another. Then all of a sudden I was like, I have to have another one. Then it took us 2 years to get pregnant, and now it is like having 2 only children. Except they are learning some of those important life lessons about sharing and compromise.

 

[pbharris4]

Hello ladies! Would you believe it's 75 degrees out here?! Well, Jacyln would because she's 2 hrs south of me. I'm not complaining though!

Debbie..it's ironic you mentioned the Lion King. My mom LOVED The Circle of Life by Elton John. I don't know if that was the song after Mufasa died or not but she just loved that song. I think the song that makes me cry is Through the Years by Kenny Rogers. But then I remember all of us driving from VA to CA and singing For the Longest Time by Billy Joel and we all sang differnt parts. You're siggie is really cute!

Jaclyn....talk about having 2 "only" children.....my one DD just turned 11 and the other will be 4 in the day we get to Disney (6/24) The younger one wants to do and have whatever the older one does. She doesn't see herself as 3.5 yrs old.

Fear of flying....yes, yes, yes. When I was younger I flew several times Hawaii, California a few times, Florida, Seattle, San Fran., etc. It didn't bother me back then. I even flew on one of those "puddle jumpers" (my dad used to call them). I was afraid even before 911, but that didn't help. A lot of my neighbors are employed at the Pentagon and other federal agencies n D.C. The day the plane hit the Pentagon I was planning on go to the Pentagon City Mall (directly across from the impact site) but was asked to change my days off that week. I'm thankful for that because if I had been in the parking garage, I would have witnessed it first hand and I am glad I didn't. BUT sometimes when I go up there, I park where I always park and look over to the where they repaired the building and planes keep flying by as if nothing happened. I say a small prayer and think to myself that life goes on.

I was scared to death to fly this past summer, but I knew I had to face my fear. Take offs and landings are bad for me too. So I'd only fly Non stop. My DD (11) who is just as nervous as I am..kept asking what if we crash, what if it's over water, what if there's sharks, what if, what if...it was soooo bad. I was trying to be consoling and make her feel as good as I could, but it made me worse. Thank goodness it was only a 2 hr flight!! Coming home...I was too tired to care about flying AND there were storms all around wash. D.C. It went quick. You'll be fine once the first part is over.

P.S. Sorry, I really need toshorten my responses. I am so bad about that!

Hi Guys,
I got yelled at about my sig again and it is really starting to irritate me!
I changed my sig (note poor cute DD is gone) but I think it's funny that there are like a hundred other sigs out there that are worse then mine (look out Pam they might come and get ya )and I don't see them posted under the "violater" list. They keep saying I either have too many pix or this time they said that the DD pic was too big!
Yell at everyone or no one at all is my feeling.
Not to be crabby about it but it really gets under my skin that I have warned twice now!
Sorry to vent..
Back to you guys....
Pam...you do know I love your sig. I don't want anyone to have to change their siggies! You're like me. You like to change it up, keep in fresh, showcase the fam!

As for the Lion King song it is on the Broadway CD (not in the Disney movie) and you will cry so hard if you hear it! I am telling you or should I say warning you!

Our snow is melting too! 50 today!!!!! Crazy!
See you guys tomorrow!

Lisa...
Check out this thread.....

This is the DIS friend of mine who I buy all my bows from. It's an old thread but you could always read it or PM her. She is super nice and to tell you the truth I don't know what she evr decided.

On my end of things......
My period (TMI) was one day late and I thought I was seriously going to have a heart attack! That tells me that I AM done!

Sorry you had to change your siggie again. You know on photobucket you can reduce the size, but the second one to the smallest is just so small you can't even see it. I try to limit mine to 2 photos and a ticker. I think anything beyond three things and they frown on it. I'm not that good with the graphics myself. I'd love to learn how to do it though.

DH went to the ER on his way home tonight. He takes a Rx strength medicine for his indigestion and burping, but it's not working. He literally was burping every 2 seconds on the phone to me and said he was "tingly." (He normally faints when he's tingly.) Still waiting to hear from him. The blood pressure and EKG were fine, but they are going to do bloodwork and to be honest..I hope they do a scope down his esophagus to see if there is a lot of damage from GERD. If not, I am going to force him to see a Gastroenterologist for an endoscopy. His belching is so bad you can't even carry on a conversation for 2 minutes w/o him burping all the time. I'm kind of not having a good feeling about this. I think the "tingling" is anxiety and he needs to be on something for it. SOmetimes he gets woozy just walking into a hospital or Dr. office from the "hospital" scent. I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow.

It may be a long night.

Good luck with DH Pam! I'll keep you guys in my thoughts! I feel so bad for him. Hang in there!

They say the pic can't be more then 200 X 200... Well, like you said photobucket lets you shrink it but the smallest one is too small and the next size up is a little too big. I only had that one pic in it this time. That's what irritates me!!! I'll shut up now. I know..I am being a baby about it!

I could not believe what I saw tonight! I was driving my son to wresting practice, and with an outside temperature of 40 deg., there was a guy in a Mustang convertable passing me with the top down! I thought I was the only one wishing it was warm.

 

[disneyohana]

Wow, was it nice out today in Chicago! I actually went outside and felt happy. I guess I now know for sure that I need the sunshine. I really was depressed lately. I would sleep in as late as I could.
Jaclyn - I think being in the house so much lately and not being so happy is what made me think more about DD having someone fun around to play with. I know it is not the perfect time for me right now but I loved hearing everyone's replies.
I also hate flying but like Debbie said I love it because I know I am going on vacation. Now that I am going to have DD on the plane w/us this time, I am stressing more.
Debbie - Thanks for the links. It is so funny how all these only children think so differently. I thought everyone would say that it is so lonely being an only child. It makes me feel better knowing other people had great lives even though they were onlies, just in case we can't have another.
Sorry about your sig. I know the one time I ditched in high school, and only because of a weird circumstance, I was called into the dean's office. I never ditched again and I never would even if I wasn't called into the dean's but I am one of those people who gets in trouble when everyone else does worse things or does things more than once. Hey, at least the tag fairy likes you. BTW, I like your weather forecast sig. That was a cute idea. Although the Mickey snowman brightened up my day a little more. I miss that.
Pam - Hope your DH is okay. I hate hospitals, too, except for the maternity ward I had DD at. It was wonderful and the food was actually good. I loved being treated like a princess for a few days.
Ahibird - You are so lucky your going to DL so soon. I don't know if I could keep that a secret from my DD. I get way too excited and I would accidentally say something.
Magicfor2 - Sorry you're going to miss your time w/the girls. Your DH's are right, though, IMO.
Sewer - Too funny. I can't believe that about the convertible. Well, I shouldn't say that. Some people I knew in high school would have done that. I think they wanted to show off their convertible whenever they could. Or they were just crazy.
Well, I have to go. Talk to you guys later.

Pam

Pam, a couple of weeks ago, I was having quite a bit of stress, and then I started having what started as dizzy spells, and then got to heart pounding fast, and jaw hurting. I could make it go away by laying down and taking deep breaths. Not brought on by excercise. I spoke to the surgeon I work for, and he said it was GERD, and my esophagus was spasming, which made by vagal nerve respond - causing the wierd symptoms. He gave me a rx for Tagamet and I have been fine, except when I don't remember to take it. I had a friend who went through months of expensive tests - same symptoms - eventually they diagnosed the GERD. Too bad it took so long to find it. Had i known.... anyway, sounds like your DH is on the right track. Tammie

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I was just sitting here posting on my laptop, watching LOST when the doorbell rang - it was a Sheriff Deputy. He said there was a 911 call and hang up from our house, and then when they called back there was static. I invited him in and he wanted to go all the way in our bedroom and check to be sure DH was okay It was nice of him. I thought I had solved this problem last week when the same thing happened, only the Sheriff Dep didn't ask to check on anyone. We were saying then - you probably should check the house out Anyway, it's either the wet weather or the TIVO - I have to call the phone comp and find out tomorrow. It shakes you up when a cop knocks on your door at night - especially when the weather is bad like tonight.
