Finding Nemo is on!!!

I love that movie. Did anyone see the coming attractions for Wall E. I cant wait to see it.


So I packed up most of my box to ship. I have to run to the store and get a couple more things. So I can ship it next week. I started doing laundry for Disney. That is what I will be doing for most of my day.

Shelly - i know PM looks good...

Hey- out the door to the Dr's but wanted to post really quick-

Mari- Hugs to you, girl. Having a blended family is very, very difficult at times, isn't it??? Mark is not Mary Cat's birth Father- her dad is in SC, and pretty much has not much to do with her, unless it is "convenient".

If it were me in your shoes, as much as you love your Step son--- you, your DH and DD are the primary family unit. DSS is a part, sure, but you and your family need time together as one. Huggie is right. Let your Dh and DSS work on their relationship OUTSIDE of having a "wonderful Fantasy-Land trip". Because we all know that as much fun as WDW is, a lot of times, it isn't reality, and things go back to being the way they were before you stepped off of that plane into the magic. While it might be a wonderful experience for all of you, I'd be very careful on betting that relationships would be mended in a week.
Hope you figure out what works best for you-

Shelly- the Sonic is a ways away- but I would gladly take the turnpike to get there, LOL. It's at the Pittsburgh Mills mall. Do you know where that is?

RF- I saw bits of the Disney program and was bleh-

okay- out the door.

TTYL-

Jo

Good luck at the doctor Jo!! Love the new ticker

 

[mari360]

Jo - i didn't even notice the tickler until Huggie said something.... very nice.... i like it....

 

[rusafee1183]

mari - i'm sorry that you have this kind of stress right before you're vacation - i can kind of sympathise with your situation - not with the blending famillies - but with the stress of family drama right before you go... i know that you may feel guilty about leaving him behind, and i probably would too, but i agree with jo on this one - the "magical family vacation" shouldn't be the place for healing all of the hurt feelings that occured during these last few months... Also, it may backfire if you do take him (hurt feelings may be revisited) and ruin the vacation that you have been looking forward to... I think that having your vacation as planned with just the 3 of you would be best, and when you come back - just explain that although you went without him - it wasn't a "punishment" and that he is DEFINATELY still part of the family

good luck

Nope, can't say I know where that is. . . .

Hey, that reminds me. . . What's the best route to the airport??? Last year we back-tracked to get there. It was the way we were familiar with from our old house, but it took way to long from here. So I printed off directions from mapquest from here and it just looks so confusing, but according to it we should be able to get there in under an hour. . . I figure we'll try it since our flight isn't until 2:00 we will have plenty of time to get lost!! Is there a lot of construction going on where 79 & 279 meet? I heard there are long delays there right now. I sure don't want to get stuck in that!

 

[rusafee1183]

what time do you plan on leaving shelly?? are you coming from cranberry direction??? i forget...

dfi is waaayyy better at directions than me, he used to be a van driver for my dads company before he got promoted - i can ask him - he'll definately know then i can get back to you...

 

[mari360]

Guys i decided not to do anything with my DH's DS.... i don't want to be stressed out before or during our vacation.....

I can't wait to go on vacation.... this weekend i ordered clothes for me and my DH from oldnavy.... hey has anyone heard of a store called crazy8. it's a kids store and a sister store to Gymboree.... well i went there this weekend and i LOVED it.... very cute clothes and quality seems good too....

Wow it only takes me 15 minutes to get to my airport. I love the smaller one by me. No crowds and so close to get to

 

[mari360]

Glad you made your decision. I went to Old Navy last week and I want to buy some shirts online before the sale is over. I have never heard of Crazy8 before

Hmm. . . Flight is at 2:00, would like to be there by 12:15, so should probably leave around 11-11:15. . . Yeah, I live north of Cranberry so I will be traveling south on I-79. . .

 

[mari360]

Wow 15-20 minutes from an airport would be great!!

My city actually has a little airport, but no commercial service. And there is one in Youngstown Ohio which is actually closer than Pittsburgh, but it only flies into Sanford/Orlando, not Orlando International. So no ME, plus it only travels between Youngstown and Sanford two days a week. So I am stuck going to Pittsburgh an hour away!

We have always left early on Sunday mornings so I have never really had to consider traffic getting there, but this time it will be a Saturday afternoon, so I'm a little concerned.

 

[rusafee1183]

i'll check it out for ya - but i have a feeling that he's gonna say 79 - 279 also (i don't know any other way) , and there is construction - but at that time of day it shouldn't be nearly as bad - - - i'm the genious who scheduled her flight at 10:20 so i'm gonna have to leave at like 6:45 to fight thru rush hour just to be there on time

actually my daddy's gonna have to fight thru traffic - he's dropping us off

 

[rusafee1183]

oh and good for you mari - you guys are gonna have an awesome trip
