May 2011: The kids are getting 3rd visit surprise! Now w/pics!

[Lidian]

Congratulations on the "nephew" news...it's nice to have a boy thrown in the mix.

Thank you! DS won't be as outnumbered now.

Awww, congrats on your new nephew!

Thanks! I can't wait!

Aww, yay for a nephew!!

I'm on !

Yay for a nephew!

On my mom's side there are 9 cousins (so far), only one of them being a boy!

Thank you!
Wow, 9? There's just 4 grandkids and 2 on the way. And that will probably be it for our family.

I've got all 10 fingers (and all 10 toes!) crossed for you!!!

Sounds painful! Thank you!!!!!

Congrats on the upcoming nephew!!

Thanks! I can't wait to baby boy shop again!

Sounds stressful. Sorry to hear about your washing machine, and I will pray you get the job!

Thank you!! The stress will be worth it in the end (I hope anyway! ). I figured it was just a matter of time before the washing machine gave up the ghost. It worked very hard the past 9 years. The prayers are much appreciated!

How exciting!! As long as you get to go to WDW sometime this year, it's worth all the stress now. Though if you're getting good money for the new position, the rack rates won't hurt as much in comparison I would think. They still stink but yay for more money to worth with? Anyway, I'm sending good vibes!

Thanks! No, rack rates won't hurt then like they would now, but the less money I spend on lodging, the more money I can spend on souvenirs and ticket-like events (tours, MNSSHP, La Nouba, etc). Plus, it just feels good to save money.

Crossing fingers for you about the job! And I hope you hear either way so your able to plan, I can imagine how stressful that must be!

 

[KatMark]

I have absolutely everything crossed that I possibly can. And here's a little too.

 

[AKL LOVER]

Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the job and the time off so you can still go in May! Here's another good thought to keep in mind...even if you do have to reschedule until October, good discounts are bound to come out so the chances that you would pay rack rates is slim!

We just had to buy a new washer back in December, right before Christmas, so I can feel your pain on that one!

Thank you! I'll be keeping everyone posted.

Thank you!! I can use the extra crossings and pixiedust right now! (I hope Mark doesn't give you too many weird looks now. )

Thank you!!

I know that discounts will probably make an appearance in October, but no guarantee. Like right now, all they have is % off Deluxe for summer ... I'll definitely be watching for discounts ... but still have to be prepared in case they don't release anything (or release anything usable).

Sorry to hear that you had to go through the expense right at Christmas! That is really rough. I guess that while this isn't the best time for it to break, it could definitely have been worse!

 

[ZFamily5]

Thank you!
Wow, 9? There's just 4 grandkids and 2 on the way. And that will probably be it for our family.

Yeah, my mom has 2 brothers and a sister, so family gatherings get kind of big, but they are always a blast because there are so many aunts/uncles/cousins/grandparents to hang out with! Hopefully everything will work out with the job and you won't have to change your plans, but if you do, I'm sure everything will work out!

Thank you! I have faith that not matter what happens, it will be for the best. We'll get to Disney sometime this year, even if its not in 42 days!!!

 

[Victoriasmom98]

Whew......all caught up in one setting!!! Hi I'm Ann and I'm joining in!!! I love your ptr so far and I am dying to find out about the job!!! It's so stressful waiting for news, isn't it?? Here's my wish for the best!!!!

 

[Corrine 1973]

I am crossing my fingers, toes, legs, arms, and eyes (never mind that hurts) for you to be getting this great job and get to still go in May. If not in May, Halloween at the World is amazing.

Are you sure you don't want to push back your trip in may to the 29th and meet up with me ane TK?

Hi Ann! Thanks for the kind words. I'm anxiously awaiting to hear something myself. I appreciate your wishes!!

Thank you for all the awkward and painful crossings. It is very much appreciated!

You know ... my original dates were 5/22-5/28 or 5/29-6/4 ... but DH insisted on 5/22-5/27. (I think it was so he could maybe meet up with his BFF and tag along on their Disneymoon. )

I am sad that I won't be meeting up with you girls, but there's always next year!!! I can't wait to see pictures though! (And I am jealous. )

 

[mrssmith06]

I hope you get some news today and it's all good news!!!! And I hope your able to keep your May trip somehow

 

[mtgirl29]

WOW! Now that is a stressful situation. So glad you decided to share with your DISboard friends. I was really wondering why you paused with your planning. Glad you have a new washer on the way. I was afraid you might be buried alive!!!!

I have sooo much DISboard reading to do. I was crazy busy this weekend. GS's April Showers bag drop off Sat. morning and then a fund raiser trivia Sat. night then Sunday we had a concert with the St. Louis Symphony. So I am glad to be home today and catch up on all my reading to see how my pals are getting along. for your Monday and a too!!!!

I would really rather go in May ... but I'll take a Disney trip anytime if it gets me "home"!

Oh, don't be acting all innocent like you didn't know.

I can't WAIT for my new washer! I seriously think the cat is stuck under all the laundry ... haven't seen him all day.

How did your fundraiser go Saturday? How was the symphony Sunday? Did Jay ever get fed?

Thanks for all the you've been sending my way! Hopefully soon! My fingers are still crossed!

So no news today. Maybe HR will call tomorrow and schedule a 2nd interview.

I've been trying to decide if we'll stay at CSR if we move the trip, or upgrade to Deluxe. To be honest, since we will go for a good chunk of time, I'd prefer to do a Villa. Then again, if we can't get a discount, we might be staying the whole time at Pop. I'm sure that they will announce some sort of discount for Fall, and my fingers are crossed that it will be something we can use.

I got excited today when my phone dinged that I had new mail and I saw it was from Disney Destinations. I thought ... YAY a pin! But it was information on the Contemporary resort. I wasn't sure why they decided to send me information on Contemporary, because it is so not my first choice at Deluxe resorts ...

Anyway ... I'm excited for tonight. I don't get to see my neice Liz very often (I raised her until she was 2 and haven't seen much of her the past year, its been very rough) ... she's coming over to spend the night with us!!

I figured tonight we'll watch Tangled and then do whatever Liz feels like doing. I'm sure she hasn't seen it yet, and it just arrived via Netflix Friday (and its been a struggle to wait for DD to be home so we could watch it as a family - sans DH, as he doesn't do Disney girly movies ).

Here lately, my eye has been giving me issues. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go have it looked at. It started twitching (the lower lid) a couple weeks ago, and it twitches many times a day, everyday. But within the past week or so, the eyeball just hasn't felt right. It's felt ... heavy or something. Just... not normal. And there's a constant discomfort (not pain) now. I can't see anything physically wrong with it - and I've googled my symptoms and it pretty much says that its probably brought on by stress. I'm sure its fine, but I'm already on the worry-train with this job, so I can't help but worry just a bit about it.

Not to add to the stress, but DD's asthma hasn't been doing well. I had to take her back to her doctor Friday (I thought she had pink eye - she did not). It turned out, her allergies and asthma was so bad, it caused her eye to become irritated and inflamed. So she's now on Zaditor (and OTC eyedrop), they increased her Pulmicort (from .25 to .5), and put her back on Singulair. She mentioned switching her inhalers, but we prefer the nebulizer (she just can't grasp using the inhalers and has to use a spacer for it at school).

Friday night, she had a Girl Scout "camp-out" in the basement of the co-leader's house. Since the co-leader is a CNP, I let DD stay. She ended up having an asthma attack in the middle of the night (they were making S'mores with a fire and the smoke trigged an attack). The CNP co-leader brought DD back inside and put her on the nebulizer immediately. She said that she wasn't sure if she should call me or not, but since it was so late, she decided not to (I would have preferred she called). She said that after the treatment, DD had some juice and the girls went off to play and she was fine the rest of the night.

Well, Liz just arrived, so I should get dinner started so we can watch the movie. Sorry for rambling ... It's what I do when I'm stressed (and not stressed - I can't help it ). Tomorrow ... all day is nothing but .

 

[Corrine 1973]

Still crossing everything in hope that you get that call. But I must admite, it's really getting hard to do any house work. So am going to blame you if I don't get the laundry done. You don't mind, right?

You are going to love Tangled. It is a great movie. I was a little worried because I have 3 boys and 1 girl that the boys wouldn't like it and start causing problems. But no, they loved it. Flinn Rider was their favorites. Liam even wanted to see it again the next day.

I am sorry about your eye. I have got that from time to time when I am stressed so hopefully it will go away once this call comes through (CALL ALREADY PEOPLE!!!!) Or at least hoping that it isn't anything major and some good drugs can fix it right up. (All the good rockers do drugs right?)

Your poor daughter going through with all of this. It's good that the co-leader knew what to do, but I totaly agree with you and would want to be called. I want to get Liam into boy scouts, but I am worried he starts having some medical issues while away from home that he is going to end up in the hospital. Well I guess we can't hold on to them for ever. Just as long as I can.

Hope you guys have a great movie night with Liz, and have fun with that laundry tomarrow.

they sent me one too- but it was all about lightsabers and vinylmation. i think they must know they have me LOL

that must be tough to go from seeing her so frequently to so rarely. Yeah for sleepovers!

Sounds like you should schedule yourself a mani pedi or a stiff drink or whatever floats your boat. I mean, it is medically necessary... dh will have to go along with it.

If you tossed your laundry into my pile, its so big, I'd never notice the additions.

And yeah, I think some good Valiums might help right now.

We absolutely loved Tangled! We didn't watch it last night, but watched it today. I think I'll watch it again after I tuck the kids in bed here in a minute. Even DH came in towards the end and said that it seemed to be cute. Hopefully he'll come around one day.

If you sign Liam up for Boy Scouts, just stay at the meetings (even if not in the building, sit in the car). It's what I do for DD's girl scout meetings. They encourage the moms to stick around, so I usually sit at the back of the room with other moms. Even the days I'm cranky and can't be around other people, I sit in the car. Maybe you can try that if he really wants to join boy scouts. Then you won't be far if you're needed and can monitor for symptoms.

Still no news. Maybe tomorrow.

Thank you!

Yes, Disney likes to get us excited in our inbox and then it just be random stuff.

It was VERY tough to not have her in my house everyday. I miss that little bugger. It was great having her last night, and I get to spend time with her tomorrow too.

I might go for a drink ... but I'm weird about people touching my feets (and Manicures just don't feel worth it to me). Okay, so really, my feet are so ticklish, I can't stand for people to touch them. I think TK and I were going to split a bottle of wine over a bottle of Nice & Easy (to get rid of the grays that this job interview has caused ).

See at the spa near my house they serve you champagne or wine while your getting your feet done so I can knock out 2 birds with one stone, lol. I am super ticklished on my feet too but something happens when I get a pedicure that it doesn't bother me. Still crossing fingers and toes for you about the job

 

[mtgirl29]

I think we may have to hit the hard stuff, if they don't call you soon! We could go for a rum and coke then after that we will get our hair colored and then a mani/pedi! I think after a nice stiff drink our feet won't be so ticklish anymore either! See it is all GOOD!

Still coming your way!!!!!
