I was looking at limo services from the port in Lax to DL and there are soooooo many. Anybody ever used one or using one this year?

I used Golden West Express Limo in 2005. We will probably use them again. They were very prompt and courteous. Here is their website.

Karen...hope your site is up and going smoothly soon. I know how frustrating that kind of stuff can be.

Lisa...what adorable boys you have! Can't wait to meet them.

Noel...glad the car trouble was easily handled and you lucked out in reno, how great!

Deb...sounds like you are much happier being at home and you must be healing well! Sorry to hear that you had to ship off the pup for a bit, but it is probably for the better.

Holly...hope Tyler has a great day at school today. Hang in there.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am very, very fortunate!!!

to you Holly.

Thanks! And I got 2 birthday cards in the mail today, so those cheered me a bit too.

DrHug just got an email from our sweet DD about a SURPRISE 40th anniversary bash for us. OOPS! She forgot to delete Dad from her email group. So, I RSVP'd and told her we would be coming. She was upset with herself at first, but we have talked and I have assured her that it is FINE not to be a surprise and that we will still be surprised by what "events" they come up with.

What a thoughtful DD you guys have!! I had a great laugh over the "distribution" email snafu!!

We might need one from the port, but we will definately need one from DL to LAX.

When is your birthday Holly? I love getting anything in the mail that isn't a bill!

OMG guys- one day away and I missed another 15 pages or so.. and this is AFTER you guys said it would be quiet with V on vacation!

Holly- I’m so sorry about Tyler’s misbehavior

Deb- WELCOME HOME!!!

Count me in for drunk nursery rhymes.. any excuse to get me another DOD!

Noel- good luck with the gall bladder surgery. A friend of mine had it recently, and it wasn’t that bad at all. My grandmother had hers removed back in the 1980s and it was SO much more invasive back then! Now it’s two tiny incisions. I was supposed to have mine removed, but I keep avoiding the surgery.

Lisa- what great pictures of your sons!


I’m trying to figure out what Olivia and I can do together as a special lunch on our last day at WDW, but I’m kind of stumped. We’re already doing Crystal Palace for breakfast, which I know she’s going to love!
LOTS of work to get done today, and then I’m doing continuing education tomorrow (BLAH!).

I would love to avoid the surgery but with all the reading that I have done about how if you don't have your gall bladder removed, you can have problems with either your liver and your pancreas or both. I feel that this is a preventive surgery so that whatever problems I have with my gall bladder will not contiue to affect either organ. When I had a blood test after my attack, it was clear that both organs are affected by gall bladder problems.

As for Olivia, we did the Perfectly Princess Tea at the Grand Floridian at $200 per couple with a platoon of coiffed and costumed princesses-in-training descend upon the Grand Floridian's Garden View Tea Lounge. Many opt for Disney-branded princess gowns, but a few go their own way, donning velvet capes, and in one case, a flowing blonde wig.

We also have done the Princess Storybook Character Breakfast held at Akershus in the Norway pavilion at Epcot for $22.99 for each adults and $12.99 for each child (ages 3-9). I did kind of object that a 10 year old was considered an adult. Serving a family style American buffet and features such Princesses as Jasmine, Belle, Snow White, Aurora. This special breakfast will be a sure hit with your little princesses and they will embrace a memory they'll never forget! Epcot admission is required and priority seating is strongly recommended.

Both are great, though Bailey (GD) did love getting the doll at the Perfectly Princess Tea.

Just my thoughts......

Drunk nursery rhymes you say? I'm up for drunk ANYTHING right about now! This has been such an awful week. I think I'll try to go to bed early tonight after Tyler's dad picks him up and hope that everything will look better in the morning.

Have a bellini on me!! You have had the week from.......

All body parts crossed for you that Tyler has a good day at school and you have a restful, fun filled weekend!!!

 

[birkner]

Well, first doctor appointment of day went well. All moles checked and "normal". Now off to regular Doctor appointment and check up with gastroenterologist to schedule colonoscopy (not fun).

Ciao for now!!

I'll be 37 tomorrow.

That sounds so cute! Must be cute seeing all the little girls who go to breakfast dressed as a princess.

Oh, Happy Birthday. Are you going to be going out to celebrate?

No such luck. His doc told me that if his behavior got worse that I should call her and we'd go from there. Of course I called the doc immediately and left her a message because 3 days in a row of scary behavior from him is not OK. Today during his rampage he told the teachers he wanted to kill them and cut them all up. Very scary. Yet his dad still insists there's nothing abnormal going on. Men! Anyway, I expect the doc to call me any time now. But the good news is that he's really getting tired of not having any toys and has been begging me today for something to play with. So I reminded him that he has to have a day of good behavior to start earning his things back. He told me, "This is no fun anymore, so I'm going to be extra good every day!" We'll see.

Glad your first appointment went well! That's always a relief!

Maybe. My friend Cindy and I originally planned on going out for drinks, but it depends on how tired I am after kindergarten orientation. That's from 5-6:30pm, so I'm not sure I'll want to head out for a drink at 7pm, but I suppose one drink couldn't hurt.

That is worrying for you. Perhaps his dad will see some of this behaviour when he has him for these few days and co-operate with getting some professional help.

Holly - You must be emotionally drained. I can't imagine the stress not knowing what is going to happen each day.

Getting out, if only for a drink will be a great pick-me-up for you. You should try and go. You need the break.

Somethings def not right with that. He wasnt like that at all down here.
I mean he got a little whiny( just like bethy) when we were in the hot sun at Sea World , but never a rage like that. Maybe they need to run some blood work, like his sugar too.
Bethany gets hypoglycemic and does that at times , but now we know and no to have some protein ro something for a snack. Her teacher is letting her eat something little at like 10 am.That has helped her alot. I think alot of it is just 4th grade hormones but thats not the Tyler I love at all.
