Lorrie, I hope the kids are well. I got your text, and I said a prayer for you all.
Hope you are feeling better - and you are so sweet! We are all feeling better - well, the kids are. If I could just burn all the grass in the world, I'd be fine. This is the month that is suppose to be the worst and boy is it!
I think a lot of Mia's issues were the 2 year old molars.
Our ADR's are Teppan Edo, LeCellier, and Crystal Palace. We didn't to over-schedule ourselves, seeing as how 4 of our kids are 5 and under!
Control-freak moment: I KNOW my kids will need naps. BIL and SIL seem to think napping in strollers is enough. (Maybe for their kids!) I know DH will just pooh-pooh going back to the resort for them to rest. I'm going to have to battle this one otherwise we won't last in the parks past 6:30 pm.
Well, someone told me going back to nap really makes your day crazy, and that was right. If you leave the park at 12:30 - honestly count on an hour if you are using the bus - seriously. I rolled my eyes at that, but it is just about down to the minute - so it will eat about 4 hours of your day, and make it REALLY hard to make a 5 pm ADR if you have it!
Just follow their cues and you will be so fine! Have an amazing trip.
Cammie & Kara - brats! Brats! I so want to go too!!! But seriously, have an amazing trip
Lydia - try to stick it out the first day, then maybe every other day go back for the nap. The first time we went, Ally had just turned five. No stroller. Only one day back to the room for a nap. The other 6 days were park open to close. She is the bionic child apparently. Still don't know how we did that, and she did not complain once. Bionic. Or zombie. Not sure which.
But just do what's right for your kids. Don't worry about what BIL/SIL do, their kids are totally different. And if DH gets cranky about it, maybe he needs a mid day nap too!
Have a wonderful trip!!!!
what she said!
I've got a headache. My mom wants to go to the beach with us THIS WEEKEND.
Wants to do two days, me drive. So I pull numbers - $180 each for an oceanfront condo
I think that is great for two nights. Well, she says it is too high.
I've not be able to come up with anything cheaper. I mean the hotels are $7 cheaper but then you have to eat out
So that is my issue today. If we do, I'll miss Nicolas' preschool graduation. Granted, it is suppose to last all of 10 minutes and he hasn't been so far the month of May,
My BF said to skip grad if we could make the beach happen. What do you guys think?
Part of my mom wanting to go for a couple of days is she lost her job. Today is her last day. My step dad is still unemployed. His severance runs out this month - mom has 3 months. All is paid for but their house.
Carlos says I'm pushing her to be irresponsable -but this is her idea.
Give it to me straight - what do you think?
So sorry to hear about your Auntie causing you grief. Sometimes I just want to curl up in the fetal position in a dark room when that old bag comes to visit. I hope you are feeling perkier soon! Thanks for the welcome!
10 years later I'm still there, except I use hormone cream so I don't have the mood swings or PMS. I know none of you are there yet, but no hot flashes either! When you get there please use natural remedies - don't take those dangerous HRTs!
