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

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Everyone! My router was out for a couple of days - missed you!

I hope Maureen is having a great time!
Tessa: have a great weekend!
Debbie: Sorry it has been a hard week. Things have to get better, right? Seems like life throws us those curve balls. This Summer we had our A/C, ice maker, oven, trailer frig all go out at the same time. I still don't have the ice maker or oven fixed I've been paying the dental bills and traveling!
Camster: Glad you have your baby back!
Pam2: I know what you mean about the wet ponchos! I was wishing I had brought more with us from the dollar store. You'll be there soon, too!
Becky: I'm sure your DD will do great! Sounds like you're a busy mom - thanks for stopping by when you can.

We finally have our dilema solved with the kids and the cruises! Since Mark and Lindsay can't cruise with us in Sept, we have all felt so badly. Little Myles talks about the big boat and Mickey Mouse all of the time So we booked a suite at the DL Hotel at the end of June - by birthday! We'll drive down and try to budget for meals, but Myles and Londynn will get to see Mickey! We'll still cruise with Ryan, Dana and Mason in Sept. as planned.

Halloween costumes: Myles will be Buzz Lightyear, Londynn - Minnie and little Mason is wearing a "1st Halloween" Sweat outfit.

I have to get organized and get those zip lock bags ready - we leave for our Anaheim trip Tuesday night! Don't think we'll see DL this trip - maybe just Downtown Disney.

Hello, Pam, Yvette, Keahi, Lisa, Sewer, Kristin - hope I didn't miss anyone.

Hi all!

Wanted to wish everyone had great weekend. Lauren came back yesterday - no worse for the wear. Said it was "ok" but wouldn't want to do it again. She was very homesick the last night, as were most of her friends, but they talked each other through it - so mature! Happy we're together again!

We're off to New Jersey today - my brother's son's christening and I'm the godmother. Looking forward to it - I'm originally from NJ so all my family is there. Not looking forward to the 5 hour drive though - wish I could switch NJ with Conn. - that wouldn't be a bad drive! Have a good weekend - I'll be back on Monday! (Debbie - hope you're feeling better!)

 

[Lovin Life]

Hi everyone! Uggh! My dogs wake me up so early! I've already read the paper online this AM and everyone else is still asleep. I do like this quiet time, but sometimes wish I could get in just a little more sleep. 5:30a on the weekends is EARLY. Uggh again!

Tammie - That's great news about the new trip plans! You are always on the go! Your kids are very lucky to be able to travel w/you like that. I'm looking forward to my kids being able to go to WDW w/my parents. They will have been w/both sets of grandparents, and I love that.

My grandma from Chicago will be down between Thanksgiving and Christmas! I am so excited! She's 93 and helped my mom raise us. I hope that I am just like her when I grow up! I have to take her to play bingo and to see a movie when she's here, 2 of her fave things. She'll be with us at our American Girl lunch in December. 3 generations plus my aunt and sister. I want to say I can't wait, but then WDW would be over!

Cammie - I'm glad your daughter is home safe and sound and had fun. Have fun on your mini trip to NJ.

Hi to everyone else! Enjoy your Sunday! I'm off to check out the sale ads in the real newspaper.

Pam

P.S. 26 more days on my countdown calendar. Yeah! but YIKES!! So much to do!!

 

[Becky2005]

Lovin Life -- That's great about your Grandma! Sounds like it will be a very nice time for everyone.

Debbie -- You might want to be careful on the Nanny suggestion -- I might have to see if you are serious in a couple years (but then you'd have to leave your kiddos home -- so it's a catch-22!). I'm trying to see if my sister or niece can go with us but it's just in the talking phase at the moment due to I'm not sure DH will be able to go next time and other stuff that we are working kinks out of. I just don't think I can handle the 4 kids by myself with the age spans and personalities (a daredevil and a no way am I going on that! ride personalities).

Today is my little guy's 4th birthday party! After church I'm going to have to finish cleaning like a crazed person. Luckily, we had a jewelry party a couple weeks ago so it's not too bad for cleaning up. Mostly just doing a quick sweep & vacuum plus taking my sewing stuff and moving it off the chairs in the living room.

Luckily, it's just my family coming over so they know the shape my house is usually in. THEN, once the party is over it's time to sew like a crazy person and see if I can actually get Halloween costumes done in time. EEK!!!

My 10 year old's is nearly done but my 13 year old's is a bit more elaborate and I haven't even started it at all, I was waiting until after the party since it will take more concentration on my part, etc... The younger boys have store bought ones so they are all set to go.

 

[Lovin Life]

Hi everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Fall has arrived in Texas! Yesterday, I was sweating in jeans and a short sleeve t-shirt that I had to wear for an event, and today the high is only 57!! It will only creep back up to a high of 76 by Friday, w/lows at night in the low 50's. I am so very happy excited!!! Maybe our 90's are gone for good!! It's rainy too, so it really feels like fall to me.

I ALWAYS need to pick up around my house when I know we're having company, and when people just drop in, well, I am just embarassed and apologize. We live in our house. I do wish we could all do a better job of putting things back where they belong, but another thing is our house is so SMALL, and there is not any closet space or empty rooms that I can hide stuff in. Oh well. It's just the way it goes!

It is going to cost me $418 to board our dogs while we are gone to WDW! The vet's office is closed day after Thanksgiving, and we cannot pick up our babies until the Monday after! Uggh! I am having a hard time swallowing that right now. I don't think that we've ever paid that much! I thought it had been in the high 200's, but not 400's! I am trying to come up w/a better solution. I just hate to ask anyone to keep them. My aunt is keeping my sister's 2 dogs and my mom's 2 dogs at my mom's while we're gone, but I cannot ask her to keep 6 dogs in my mom's house. Thanks for listening. I just had to gripe. Add dog boarding to my list of things to spend money on: cars, appliances and dog boarding!

Becky - Your kiddos are so lucky that you are making their costumes! I've never made one because I don't sew. I have a machine, but it hardly ever gets pulled out, just to attach the occasional Girl Scout patch, but not very often. I know that some can be made w/out sewing, but I'm not that good. The homemade costumes are the best! My MIL made my DD's costumes for several years, but hasn't in the past couple. She's too busy being retired! Wish I was!

I am TRYING to watch what I'm eating, for our trip, and to make up for the extra few pounds that get added during the holiday. I brought yogurt and a banana to go w/my sandwich for lunch but managed to pick up a chocolate chip cookie in the cafteria when I got my coffee. Some days are just harder than others!

Have an awesome day all!!

Hi Gals,
Well, things are going great on this end. We are very busy and having a lot of fun! I am experiencing my annual holiday anxiety starting with Thanksgiving but that’s nothing new. I should just learn to deal with it but my body says otherwise. I get so…………. nervous/anxious. Oh well…that’s life. I won’t bore you with it all since I’ve probably discussed it here at every holiday! Long story short my Aunt announced her Thanksgiving dinnertime and I am paranoid my DHs side will pick the exact same time (plus they are an hour apart) AND I feel they should try and accommodate us because they have no one else to worry about times with besides us. I can be a real brat with this stuff. Sorry. Taking turns isn’t an option because I don’t want to not see my family ever.

I am stressing over my kids doctors appointments tomorrow. I even started a poll to make me feel better.

I started having my WDW nightmares so this all means our trip is right around the corner. Yeah!

This is me to a tee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same situation!

I feel sorry for you with the dogs waking you up. I would hate that! I also feel bad about your boarding situation. We have a very high maintenance pooch (she has epilepsy and needs walks and meds at least 4 times a day)but there are 4 adults to take care of her and when we travel a dear friend stays here and we hire a great dog walker so we luck out! Good luck with your situation.
I have been lucky enough to lose some weight with all the new running around the new school year brought plus when I am anxious I don't get hungry. On a bad note I think I probably drink too much coffee but then I don't really eat during the day. I know, not very smart but I am running around and forget.
Pbharris (Pam )Hi!
TinkLvr (Maureen) Hope she is having a magical time still. She better post pix and a TR when she returns!
DisneyOhana (Lisa) Hi!
Magicfor2 (Tammie)Glad you solved your dilema. Sounds like a great plan. OMG you are leaving tomorrow night. Wow! Aren't you the little traveler. Good luck hitting DDD!
Ahibird (keahi) I know you're out there! I need a pix fix!
tttessa (tessa)Hope your weekend away was fun!
Camster0307Are you all back in your groove again? I hope you had a nice time in New Jersey and at the Christening.
Sewer Hi!
Becky2005I am very jealous and envious that you sew! I always wished I could sew. I sear I have ADD and that's why I don't. I am crafty but I need projects that can be finished quickly! My latest is using the desin boards to make iron ons.

Oh...I almost forgot....DS will be a scary pirate (I bought him the Jack Sparrow hat/wig to wear with the little toddler costume I found)and DD will be Cinderella (yes, I caved and bought her the high end Cinderella costume at the Disnetstore). Then I wonder why I'm putting us in the poor house!

Have great week girls!!!!!!!

 

[Lovin Life]

Debbie - I totally understand the Thanksgiving dinner dilemma! My parents and DH's parents live about 15 mins apart, but live about 45 mins (w/no traffic snags) away from us, and have since Megan was 1. Although we are totally thankful to have both sets of parents alive, and have them so close, it has always been stressful, and a bit of a sore spot between DH and I about how much time we spend at each family’s house. Both families want us over on THE holiday, and that includes Christmas Day. For many years I felt robbed of a Christmas with DH and DD’s, until a few years back. I decided to celebrate Christmas with just the 4 of us on Christmas Eve. We wake up and open our gifts to each other, the kids stay in their PJ’s all day and play w/their new stuff, I make a dinner, we go to early church service, then to look at Christmas lights/decorations. A couple of us might go to midnight service. Santa visits our house on Christmas Eve, so the girls will see what Santa has left them on Christmas morning, but not for very long. My MIL has a breakfast on Christmas Day, and we get to her house by 9am. That means we need to leave our house about 8am. When the girls were little, that was very challenging. I think we even used to be there by 8am. I set the alarm for 5am so I could get myself showered and ready before the girls got up. Then, the girls started waking up that early out of excitement for Santa, and it totally robbed us of our morning. DH and I had to hurry everything so we could get ready to go. After breakfast and gift opening at MIL’s, we hurry to my mom’s because they are waiting for us to open gifts w/them. We then eat at 1pm. When DD’s grandma was still with us, we would go over to her house for a late dinner. The last thing I wanted to do was eat again, but you feel like you have to. It would drive my mom insane that we were with DH’s family twice on the holiday. Now, my brother and his wife are expecting their first baby in January, and they will see what a challenge it is to coordinate. I believe my brother saw it as soon as he got married, and had to coordinate holidays with his MIL as well as our family. I have decided NEVER to do that to my girls. I hope that I don’t. Right now, I do not care if we celebrate Christmas Day on Dec 1 or Jan 30. If we have to do two separate celebrations and are lucky enough to celebrate with them and their families, we will. The holidays are too special to be frazzled and worried about hurting people’s feelings. It’s a big burden.

Whew! Got that off my chest!!

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and thought I would introduce myself.
I'm Dawniell. And I'm definetly a control freak. Not so much a worry wart- unless it's about something I'm trying to control. So, I guess maybe I am a worry wart.
Anywho, I'm busy planning a trip for next Sept for my daughters 5th birthday. I started planning it a couple months ago and have changed it like 10 times. I think I'm finally happy with the dates I picked and am ready to start ironing out the details. Everyone thinks I'm nuts for planning this early but after reading this thread I can see that nobody here will think that. And I'm very glad for it.
Back to work.

 

[TidoubleGerrr]

Yes, Debbie, I'm lurking!!!

We've been moving so I have been busy lately and haven't been on much lately...plus since our Disneyworld trip fell thru this year, I haven't been on the Disboards as much except the Disneyland side....it sucks! I wanna go to the world!!!

We got a cute little house we are just renting though that has a nice huge yard for the kid and the dog, they are both happy! It's great, we are still settling in trying to move stuff and I'm having the procedure in 2 days!!! Kinda crazy times!!!

Good to hear everyone's stories! I will catch up one day!!!!

I hear ya! I just get sick about it when I don't know how to fix it. My dream is for DHs side to pick an alternative date to do holidays. Wow.... that would be the best. I still have a stomachache wondering what's going to happen with Thanksgiving. I just dread them saying they want to do it at 4pm too. I don't even know what I will do then!!!!! I have never missed anything with my side...never....ever! What if DH says well I want to go by my side this time. I will puke! I hate confrontation and I don't have a solution to the dilemma. That is when my anxiety kicks into overdrive!!!!

I started having my WDW nightmares so this all means our trip is right around the corner. Yeah!


I have those too!

 

[disneyohana]

I can't believe it has been so long since I have even lurked here. Time is flying. My DH was coaching his niece's soccer team. During the practices DD & I would go to the park by the fields because DD wanted to go w/him. There was a party Friday for the kids and coaches and then we went to a wedding on Saturday. It was the most beautiful reception I have ever been to. There was a huge room for the sweet tables. I'm not sure if there were five or six sweet tables. They had a palm tree decoration with fruits attached all around it. It was gorgeous. They even had a sweet table w/little candies and bags to put the candy in to take home. The flowers were unbelievable.
Now I sit here feeling terrible. I have some sort of cold but almost feels like the flu.

Tammie - We don't know what we are doing about the wedding yet. Just found out that the reception there is in Bellevue a week after the ceremony in Vancouver, BC. I would like to be there w/my DH but we'll see if we can get cheap air. Plus there is the four hour flight that I am not sure if I want to take DD on if we won't be there that long. I can't make any decisions yet. Have you ever been to Vancouver, BC?

Debbie - I love the Disney theme park music. Thanks for the link. I understand about being busy. I'm sure we'll find a day somewhere before the holidays.

Pam - Thanks for the well wishes. I have been a little depressed lately and it feels good to have others who care.

Hi to everyone else!

DD was going to be Ariel but then changed her mind. She is now going to be a care bear. The outfit is so cute and she should be warm. She keeps asking me if it is Halloween day yet.

 

[tttessa]

Hiya all,
back from our break - was really good fun, but as always - eldest got sick!! I think she is allergic to holidays or something! Thank goodness it was the last day, and we were self catering -they have things like buckets!!

Anyhow - we went swimming every day (so our skin is starting to feel like alligator scales, even with moisturising) it was great fun. They were old enough and brave enough for waterslides this year and with the swimming lessons, we no longer have them glued to us - so we could do some swimming too. Played crazy golf - don't know if you have that too??? Like a miniature golf course with little obstacles to go over through + round - OF COURSE you do - I saw it on the Simpsons once DUH (or DOH!) - we ALL loved that. And we had deer, squirrels, birds, ducks, rabbits RIGHT outside on our patio/yard thing - about 2 FEET from us. Magical - it was like the scene from Snow White at one point!!!!!

Got to catch up on reading this thread again - 3 pages behind again.

Pam2 - I TOTALLY understand the Christmas dilemmas - we are "lucky" in that my mum is 700 miles away so doesn't "need" us to be there, so just the in-laws to deal with. They are lovely, BUT they do kind of expect us to go and stay over from Christmas eve for 3 nights - I want to wake up in my own bed one Christmas - not in a small bedroom we have to share with the kids on put-you-ups on the floor - in an Olde-English cottage with no upstairs toilet!!!

Anyhow, got to go get dressed, the family is awakening (I'm also the early bird in this house - but it is nearly 9am here right now!!!!)

Cheers,
Tessa

Hi all! It's ALMOST Friday! We've passed hump day! (Tessa, ha, ha!) Now, only 3 more weekends until WDW. I'm close to freaking out. We have bought Disney Dollars, and DD's have gotten DD's (ha!) over the past 2 years, and I need to find them in my mess! That is my major goal this weekend. I have a crammed full laptop case, tote bag, and one shopping bag full of old bills in my room that I need to go thru to clean out and search for the missing Disney Dollars! This weekend is our big band bake sale on Saturday evening, and before that, DD14 has cheer practice (ON A SATURDAY!!????) and All Region Band try outs. DD9 has a Halloween party on Sunday. I also have to get her bday party invitations made out and delivered by the end of this week. The weekend after is the much anticipated American Girl Store grand opening and birthday shopping trip, November birthdays at my mom's (I need to get shopping for hers, my dad's, SIL's), then the following weekend is THE weekend before our trip and DD9's birthday sleepover party. We do it at a hotel so the kids can swim in the outdoor pool and my small house doesn't get messed up. I love all of this, but it makes me crazy!

She's OK, but I found out this AM that my mom was in a car accident on her way to work. My dad called from the hospital and his voice sounded pretty shaky. I couldn't tell if he was being straight w/me about her condition. He wanted us to stay put and wait until they had more info, but said she had an MRI and x-rays because they were concerned about her osteoperosis. She was having trouble breathing, so was also on oxygen. Things checked out OK and she went home, but she is very bruised up and sore, and is still having trouble breathing. I am so relieved and thankful, because of course I was thinking the worst when he called this AM. They are going w/us to WDW, and I know for sure that we will be pushing her in a wheelchair. There's no way she can do all of that walking. I've always felt this way, but today just reinforced it - You just never know when something like that can happen, and your life can be taken away, or that of someone precious to you. Some things that we think are so important just aren't. Thanks for listening!

Lisa - the wedding sounds very awsome! I love weddings. Have you been to Vancouver? It's beautiful. I was lucky enough to go there for business once. I hope to take DH there some day. I hope that you get to go!

Tessa - your trip sounds like it was magical. We do have miniature golf. The kids love it. Something that is popular over here is the miniature golf in the black light. Everything glows. It's really cool!

Lucky Maureen and Tammie are on trips, aren't they?

Welcome wmom88and Dawniell!!

Kristin - Good luck w/your procedure! We'll be thinking about you! Sorry that your trip fell thru!

Hi to Pam, Cammie and Keahi, Yvette, and everyone else!

Hi Ladies,
Tessa, glad you had fun sorry your eldest is sick.

My kids got their flu shots yesterday and today DD is sick. Coincidence? I wonder. Sometimes I think it's the shot and sometimes I think it's from being at the germ infested office. Whatever..she's sick. Oh well. I think I gave her enough time to recoup for the trip NOW I PRAY IT DOESN"T SPREAD AROUND THE FAM!

Hi Lisa, glad you stopped by. Sounds like things are good. Keep your chin up! Hope you feel better too.

Pam2...we talked via email but again I hope your Mom is up and about quickly! Pixie dust to her!

Still have a stomachache waiting for the Thanksgiving times to get thrown out there. It is really my worst quality. I make myself sick over ridiculous things like this where I can't be two places at once and want to be with my family. It's crazy! It's hard for me to explain but the only way I can kind of sum it up is that the control freak in me can NOT handle not being able to fix the whole thing to work out for all. Usually I can manipulate everything so everyone is happy but being at two places is impossible. I HATE confrontation too so I just usually fix it all without anyone knowing any better. I am hoping that I can just come back here and post that DHs side can do it early. That would solve one problem....at least until Christmas!

Sorry to go on and on but I am having some high anxiety days lately.....

Hey all! I've been sneakn' around too, I've not had too much to write about......... I need to get out of this rut.

 

[disneyohana]

Sewer - Nice to hear from you, even if you don't have much to say. Last time I posted I tried to edit later to write to everyone personally but accidentally backtracked too much and lost all I had written.

Debbie - I am feeling better today and I hope I can keep up w/everyone on here. That Mouse Radio is so.... cool. The only problem is that I want to buy all the music. Thanks again for the link.

Kristin - I hope the procedure goes well. Congrats on the house.

Pam2 - How awful for your mom. I am glad she is doing better. I can only imagine how you felt when your dad told you.
Hope you find those Disney dollars. I was so afraid I wouldn't find our old park hoppers for our last vacation but was lucky enough to find them where I thought I put them 4 years ago.
I have never been to Vancouver. I would like to go if I can find good prices for airfare and hotels. We usually go on one vacation a year so that would be our vacation if it costs us too much. I am not worried about that anymore though. So what if we have to wait 3 years before Disneyworld again. We waited 4 years for the last trip and the time goes by fast.

Tessa - DD & I love mini golf, especially on a beautiful day or night. I like to take my time and relax so we try to find odd times to go when there aren't crowds behind us.

Hi to the newbies! This year was my first crazy planning/control freak vacation & it made it the best vacation to Disney ever.

 

[tttessa]

Hiya all,
just logged on to do my online grocery shop and somehow ended up here instead .

Eldest is at a Halloween birthday party today - all dressed up as a witch with dayglo pink hair, littlest is playing with her Bratz stuff I got from ebay at one fifth the cost of new!!!!! It is our half term week here, so life just goes with the flow....

Going to the cinema tomorrow - Ratatouille is the film of choice so far - though if hubby comes, Stardust may just edge it out.... don't know how suitable it is for the kids though??? Anyone seen it? I have a book "Stardust" by John Gribbin, but guess it is not the one the movie is based on as it is all about "the cosmic recycling of stars, planets and people" - how stars are made and die and "every one of us is made of stardust" (I am grabbing that quote for my sig!!)

Back to school on ~Monday - don't miss the routine - we have been getting up late, slouching in PJs till gone 10 etc etc, will be hard to get back to early starts again..

Got to go shop, or we are not going to eat this weekend!!! Mind you that would not hurt me right now - my diet is going soooooooo badly - I put ON 4 pounds on holiday!!! got to redouble the efforts!!!

Cheers all,
Tessa

Hey all! I've been sneakn' around too, I've not had too much to write about......... I need to get out of this rut.

I hear ya!

Instead of being all excited about our trip I am anxiety ridden! It's insane!


DD is really sick and instead of being glad she will be over it by our trip I am paranoid she will pass it thru the rest of the family just in time for the trip!
Oh well. Nothing I can do about it.

Be back later I hope!
