Mother's Day Trip Report 2006 (Complete Page 2)

[sweetlovin']

left my house about 1am after hearing gun shots outside my window. Enough to wake anyone up really. I still haven't asked Lee if he heard them.

I took a shower, popped a few caffine pills, and headed out with the girls. I was working on about two hours of sleep. I was on the turnpike when TVT called. We decided to meet at his house then he could help me get my luggage and the girls into the hotel. I could also that way run to the grocery store without dragging the girls in with me.

I got to the hotel and I ran into Kelly and her mom!!! It was soo great to see two friends first thing on Mother's day. This was going to be a great day.

TVT entertained the girls while I checked in, but the room wasn't ready. We decided to take the girls to get some food at the Rainforest Cafe. The kids meals are huge there. The girls really could have split a meal. Julie had chicken fingers and fries and Sammie had 3 mini hot dogs. Not only did Sammie finish her food, she went after Julie's. The girl is an eating machine!!!

We took the girls over to see Bear in the Big Blue House. Julie's face lit up and Sammie was actaully dancing and singing. It was sooo much fun to watch their faces. Just as funny was Tony's face trying to get up from the floor.

For those of you that don't know, Tony is old. And he doesn't often sit on the floor for a half hour. Standing up after was a bit challenging for him, but he managed

I decided to go see if my room was ready, hooray it was, so I was given the room number, settled in, and called Gene and Laura. They were in their room, right next to me!! This was going to be an awesome trip. We said our hellos, and Sammie started screaming. (Im so sorry Laura) When Sammie is hungry, you better feed her or get out of the way. The girl may just eat you.

I'll post all about the second half of the day with the Adventure of Epcot..the first big bump

[sweetlovin']

Ok, I was there. My Girls are Julie (3) Sammie (1) My Friends that I was meeting down there are Laura, Gene, Kelly and her mom, Jody and her mom, and Tony AKA TVT, and Jim.

Those are all the charaters in my reports.

Thanks, nice group of characters. I was wondering how old your dd was that she was screaming to be fed. lol!

TVT, Julie, Sammie, and I went to the Garden Grill. The girls had such a great time. They loved seeing the characters and the loved their food Julie had the chicken and fries and Sammie had the Mac and Cheese. It worked out. Then, they discoverd the M&M's for dessert.

After we went and rode Spaceship Earth and Mexico. Tony was with us, the extra set of hands to help the girls on and off the rides was a huge help. Tony put the diaper bag on his shoulder and reached down to help Julie off the boat while I carried Sammie.

The diaper bag was opened and I saw something white fall. It was the wipe box I had just bought. No big deal, that is easily replaced. It wasnt until we got outside that TVT realized that his prescription glasses had fallen out as well.

All he had were his sunglasses, so he asked the guy to send our boat through and stop the next one, so he could see. The guy told him the ride wasn't set up that way, the boats all move together.

Well, we went back and as we walked around, Tony got more mad. So, he told me and the girls to wait, while he went back in. He got a flash light and was searching all the boats. He came back out more mad. No glasses.

At this point, he was seeing stars he was so mad. Mad at himself mostly for losing the glasses. But, at this point, it is late, dark and he needs to get home. So, I told him I woudl pack the girls up and drive him to his house. My girls normally go to bed at 7:30pm, so it was way past their bedtime. They would sleep in the car.

On the way there, we were talking, and twice I dosed off. I think Tony was a little afraid for his life, since sleeping while driving is not recommended. In my defense, I had been up since 1am the night before. I was tired.

We got to his house and he told me to stay put. I said, it was fine, I needed to go back to the hotel. He said there was no way he was letting me drive..we argued, then he stole my keys and went inside. I was too tired to argue.

He went inside while the girls and I sat in the car sleeping. He was looking for a second pair of glasses, but he realized he had donated him. So, he told me he was going to drive me back to the hotel, drop the girls and I off, and just drive the van home. He would be back in the morning to pick us up.

I started to argue, but I was exhausted. He helped me get the girls into my room then he drove my van home. I still laugh when I think of an old guy driving a minivan that says DZNYGAL on the liscense plate

Thanks, nice group of characters. I was wondering how old your dd was that she was screaming to be fed. lol!

LOL..sorry I didnt think of that. Truly, it's the only time you'll ever hear her cry. But when that girl is hungry..watch out!!

 

[sweetlovin']

My phone call at 7:15am came very early.

"Are you up?" Asked TVT.
"Uh yeah huh sure I am." I think I said that anyway, I can't remember since I really wasn't.

I expalined Julie and Sammie were still sleeping as well. He said he had gotten up so he could be ontime.

"You said you wanted to be at the parks at 8am" He said.

Now, I really said 9am, but I let that go. I told him I would get up and get dressed and he could come to the hotel room, but I couldn't gaurentee the kids would be awake.

I got up, showered, straighten my hair and got ready for the day. When TVT got there, Julie was still sleeping. So, I got Sammie ready, eventually got Julie up and dressed and we were at MK by 9:30am. Only a half hour later than what I said and only an hour and a half later than what Tony heard.

We fast passed Peter Pan, rode IASW, the Merry Go Round, and watched Mickey's Philharmagic. Then, we rode Peter Pan and headed down toward Tomorrowland.

"Hey Sweet" I turned to see Jody and her mom!! YAY!!! I missed her so much. She and her mom sat behind tony and I and the girls on the ride. We talked a little, although, it's really hard to shout across cars.

Then, we got off that ride and it happened that we were all going to the COP! So we talked a little while we were on the ride, again, that is really hard. So, we got off and it was just about time to meet everyone at CP.

Tony and I had told Julie that we would do Buzz Lightyear after COP, well, she started crying when we walked by the ride. I didn't want to take a crying child to meet the group. So we went to Buzz lightyear, then met the group at Crystal Palace.


We met the group and Gene had already checked in. Thank goodness for Gene getting there early. I parked the stroller and walked up to see Jim. He was the last of the group I hadn't seen. I was finally able to put Sammie down and hug and kiss my friend. I missed him.

We were seated and I sat where the highchair was, with Sammie, Julie, Tony, and Jim. We were able to catch up a little on the weekend. We ate and chatted and Jim suggested we go ride IASW. He had told Julie he would ride it with her. She was more than happy to ride her favorite ride with Jim. She took his hand and we were off.

Sammie fell asleep in Tony's arms while we were standing in line. The poor thing was so tired. Jim and I talked during the ride, then he said he was going back to his room. "Give me a call sometime" He said as we hugged goodbye. I'm still a little confused by that comment since we were in Disney World together.

The girls wanted to ride the Merry Go Round so we did that and we left MK. The girls needed a long nap and Tony needed to get new glasses. So, we drove an hour away to the mall so he could get his glasses, while the girls slept.

We walked around the mall, there was NO ONE there. It was nice. Sammie was able to walk the entire mall twice without bothering anyone. She needed the exercise.

Once the glasses were done, we drove back to Disney. The girls were starving. So we stopped at POFQ at their counter service. I got the girls some Chicken Noodle Soup, which is what they had been asking for, and Tony got Pot Roast. I got Chicken Quesadillas, and they were very good.

According to Julie, Tony is an amazing orderer. Julie ate more of his food than she did her own. This was going to be Julie's new thing. Whatever Tony ordered tasted much better than whatever she had on her plate. He was very kind to share with her.

We got dessert, and Tony was getting his first real understanding of the dinning plan waddle. We were on the Disney Dinning Plan and it really is WAY too much food. We were so full when we left there.

Tony took us back to the hotel and I put the girls to bed. While he waited on the balcony. When I was done, I met him out there and we talked. It was maybe 8:15pm when I got the girls down. It was really nice of him to still hang out and keep me company. Then, the phone rang. It was Jim!! I invited him to the Balcony to visit with us.

He came and we smiled, talked, laugh, just like friends do. Jim left about 20 minutes later and Julie had woken up. I think we were being too loud. (Sorry baby girl) So Jim left, Julie went potty, Tony left, and I went to bed. It was 10 something by then, and I was starting to get very sleepy and I wasnt going to be able to participate in any conversation that I was invovled in. I'm known for falling asleep mid sentence.

Tuesday was going to be a fun day!!!

 

[Minniespal]

Enjoying reading your reports ~ Thanx for sharing.

 

[sweetlovin']

got my morning wake up call from Tony and the girls and I got ready to start our day. We were going to Epcot.

I have to go back, Monday night on the Balcony, right as I was putting Julie to bed after going potty, Tony's phone rang. It was Epcot, they called to tell him they had his glasses. They were going to leave it right at Guest relations and Tony could go anytime after 9am to pick them up.

So, we went out of the room and took the elevator down to the boardwalk to walk to Epcot.

"Hey Tony, that is Jim" I said pointing to a guy way ahead of us.

"Are you sure?" He asked. Now, he just got new glasses, but his eyesight is wicked bad.

"Yes, I am!! JIM.... JIM ...HEY.... HELLO" I jumped up and down screaming and waving my arms. Maybe that is why he didnt turn around.

Finally, Tony said, "Stop looking like and idiot and making a scene. I have an idea"

I don't know what he is talking about, I always look like and idiot.

Tony called Jim on his cell phone and told him to turn around. So, he did and we walked faster to catch up with him.

"That was crazy, I just saw you, I was calling to you just now, you didn't hear me?" I asked

"No, I saw you guys earlier walking." Jim said.

"Wait, you saw us and you didn't say Hi?" I asked confused.

"Well, I thought you were on your way to breakfast" Jim answered.

A little odd that a friend who was with me in Disney, saw me and wouldn't acknowledge me. But Jim's FIL's funeral was that morning. He had decided to stay in Disney instead of going back, so he seemed sad. So, I chalked it up to that and let it go.

Jim asked us if we wanted to ride Soarn'. ..the first adult ride of the trip.


We went over and Tony went and measured Julie and Jim offered to let Tony and I ride first while he watched the kids. Very very sweet of him. Julie met the height requirement, so we took her on with us. She really didnt want to go, but Tony picked her up and played with her in line, making her forget about the ride completely. She was laughing all the way through the line.

When we got her in the seat, she threw a fit, crying and kicking the seatbelt. Tony calmed her down, got her in the seatbelt and she really enjoyed the ride. We both had our hands on her comforting her, and she did a great job.

One thing about Julie, she isn't modest. If she did a great job, she will tell you and everyone surrounding her what a great job she did. She walked out shouting and praising herself. "It did such a great job., I like that ride. I'm such a big girl." It makes me smile now, just thinking about it.

We came out and Jim asked if we wanted to go again. No, I wanted to ride with Jim, my friend, remember? After a lot of convincing on my part, he and I went and rode and Tony stayed with Julie and Sammie. Again, very very sweet of TVT to watch my kids while Jim and I rode.

We came out and Jim said he was going to go. So we parted ways and Tony and I took the kids to Circle of Life.

Stay Tuned..part two is next, where Tony is fight with Epcot

 

[sweetlovin']

After circle of life, we took the girls to ride Figment. The girls and I took a picture to send to my husband and my son (who were back home.). We came out and had started to rain. We went under a pavillion. Tony told me to wait there. It wasnt too crowded, so I got Sammie out of the stroller and let her walk around for a bit.

Tony came back with a plastic rain cover. We put it over the stroller covered the girls, and told them after Mr Tony went to guest relations and got his glasses, we would ride Spaceship Earth and make our way to lunch.

Tony went into guest relations and told me to wait outside with the girls. I was dealing with a very sad 3yo who didnt understand why we weren't riding Spaceship Earth right then.

Tony came out about a half hour later, MAD .

"What the heck happened?" I asked, worried.

"He told me that they don't have the glasses that they never did." He said, I think there was steam coming off his head.

"Wait, I'm confused. They called you at like 10pm last night to tell you they had it there."

"Yes, they did. This guy just told me that they aren't there he doesn't have them and that I never got a phone call." He said, madder and madder with each word.

"Oh my. What did you say?" I was bewildered.

"I said, ' I'm sittting here telling you that the girl called me last night. You have my glasses and that she would keep them here until morning.

'What was her name? No one called you.'

I'm telling you someone from this office called me..you know what..forget you"

Oh no, he's mad and now we are at the front of the park. We need to make it to Italy for lunch and my 3yo is crying crying crying. I was thinking to myself.

He told Julie to sit, she did, still crying. He gently covered her up and walked from the front of the park to the back with her screaming crying.

A lady stopped us and asked if Julie was crying becuase she was suffocating under the plastic raincover.

"Uh she wouldn't be screaming if she was suffocating. She has plenty of air thanks." I said not so nicely.

"Hey look" I said as we were walking as quick as we could.

"What am I looking at?" Tony asked.

"It's Jim, Laura, Gene, Kelly and her mom up there."

He looked and it was. "Hey Laura, Hi Gene, Hello Jim" I screamed while waving.

I guess none of them saw me. I needed to stop becuase Julie needed a tissue. I figured we would catch up to them as soon as we gave her what she needed. I'm a fast walker and TVT kept up pretty well, for being an old guy.

We started moving and when we got to China we realized they must have disappeared somewhere.

"I guess they aren't coming. I really hope that Jody is coming." I said to TVT.

We got to Italy with my screaming 3yo. I checked us in and while we were waiting Tony took Sammie and I took Julie into the bathrooms for some "girl time." She finally went potty, and calmed down.

I heard my phone make a funny noise, so I took it out. It was Jody saying she would be late, but she was on her way. Itlay was looking better and better, I was really getting excited to see Jody and her mom. YAY!!

More on the meals to come I think TVT will be stuffed for a while after that week of food.

 

[sweetlovin']

In Italy, our name was called and we were taken to the back. TVT, Sammie Julie and I, as Jody and her mom were on their way. We ordered drinks and by the time the drinks had come, Jody and her mom arrived. I was soo happy to see them.

Julie was telling them that she was a pirate and everytime Jody did it back, Julie would tell her that she wasn't a pirate. Jody can't close the eye that Julie insists is the right way to be a pirate. We all laughed and laughed. We got caught up on what had been going on and Jody informed us that Laura had called to say she wasnt coming.

Now, this was the first time we had been at a table service restaurant (none buffet) using the dinning plan. The waitress expalined that you get an Appitzer, Entree, Drink, and dessert.

He ordered a salad for his appitizer and Spegehtti for his entree. He was sooo full. It was funny to watch.

Jody and her mom shared a meal, which was such a good idea. I shared a meal with Sammie. Sammie loved the food. She didnt talk, she didn't make any noise, she was a very hungry child. She ate so much food.

Apparently, I have an artist on my hands. Tony stood up and he really looked as though he was a canvas for food. He told us later that sammie would take a noodle and blow through it, blowing all the sauce off the noodle.

"Sure that's it. Blame the baby for your spills."

No really I am very sorry..I didn't see her doing it or I would have told her to stop.

Then dessert came. It was actaully very good, the Cannoli was delicious.

So as we were leaving, I explained to Tony that he was going to have the same deal in Canada that night.

We walked back to the hotels with Jody and her mom, laughing and joking, but I was freezing. So, we said goodbye to Jody and her mom and we took the boat back to the room.

As we started into the hotel, Tony's phone rang. Yes you guessed it, EPCOT!! "Sir we have your glasses. I apologize for earlier I had put them in a safe place and I had stepped out when you had come for them. But they are here at Guest Relations."

"I'll be at Le Cellier at 5:50pm. I'm coming from the Boardwalk." TVT replied

"I'll meet you at the back entrence said the Epcot guy, where I can put the glasses in your hand myself." Epcot guy said.

When we got to Epcot, the guy handed TVT his glasses. The lenses were damanged, but the frames were still intact. Now, he has an extra set of glasses should he ever ride Mexico ride with a 3yo again.


Le Cellier was later that night and we were the first ones there. I took Julie to color and Tony watched for the others. They all came and we were saying hellos and talking, but it started to drizzle. I took the girls inside the front and Tony went out to talk to the others.

All of the sudden Julie started coughing and gagging. I've seen her throw up too many times to not know the warning signs, so i threw sammie to tony and ran julie away from everyone outside incase she did throw up.

She didn't, that time, and they eventaully called our name and we were seated.

Julie asked for shrimp as an App, I really kept debating about it, but eventually, I got her what she wanted. Mr Tony ordered the beef kababs.

"Can i have some of yours, Mr Tony?" Julie asked.

He gave in and shared his food. Then, I ordered chicken for the girls and Tony ordered steak.

"Can I have a bite of that?" Julie asked Mr Tony

"Julie eat your food" I said

"No no no, its fine" He gives in to her way too easy.

It was so funny listening to Jody tell the story of her DH his unsurness of what to do without her. Jody makes me laugh all the time. I know if Jody is going to be there, Im going to be laughing.

Then, Kelly and her mom were telling me all about the American Girl Dolls in Chicago. Kelly's mom wants grandchildren. ((HUGS)) My mom has 3 and she adores them, Only they live 10 hours away. So, I truly understand. My mom says having grandkids is the greatest part of her life. UH..THANKS MOM!!

I explained that paying 17.50 per hour for the sitter wasnt in my budget, unfortunately and there was no way I was going to be able to make Raglan Road. (Which was an adult night planned for Wednsday night) Kelly's mom made $1 per hour when she babysat, so she nearly fell over when I explained the price of the Inroom Babysitting Services. The thing is, the babysitter charges and extra $10 for a transportation fee, and the require a minium of 4 hours. It really adds up to over 20 per hour and I just didn't have that kind of money this trip.

When Julie was done, she said that she needed to go to the bathroom. We went, and while I was gone, Samantha pulled Julie's plate over and started eating her sisters food. Seriously, the way that baby eats, you would swear I never feed her.

I really hope everyone at the table understood that it was past my kids bedtimes. My kids are in bed at 7:30pm almost every night. So, I took my dessert and Tony got his dessert and we left. Well, the rest of us walked out. I think Tony kind of waddled out. He was sooo full.

"Where do you want to eat tomorrow?" I teased. "Ugh, please please dont talk about food." "Oh you don't want me to mention the cake in the bag, a big Ice Cream Sundae from Beaches and Cream or"

"Stop..I can't take it" He sounded as if he was going to throw up. So I stopped.

I got the girls to bed and told them that if they went to sleep, we would go see Barney the next day. They complied pretty well actaully. After they got baths, they went to bed.

Barney and the battle between a 3yo and her mom is coming tomorrow

 

[sweetlovin']

Wed Morning I got my wake up call again, got up, dressed, got the girls ready and we were off.

Today, was going to be a day for the girls. I was taking them to Universal to see Barney, then to Magic Kingdom later that afternoon.

TVT really didn't make any plans for this trip. The two things he wanted to do were breakfast at Spoodles and Ohana. He planned the Spoodles Breakfast for this morning.

We went to Spoodles and I watched my 1yo eat and eat and eat. It's amazing that the doctors tell me she is in the 20% for weight for her age. The girl eats all the time.

We finished there and went to Universal. TVT called Universal to see what the Barney Showtimes were. The first show was at 11am. Perfect, timing, or so we thought.

We got to Universal at about 10:20am. We had to wait for the Barney Show. This was Julie's first meltdown. She was crying and carrying on, I bent down to talk to her, and about 5 minutes later, she calmed down.

We took the girls on ET and I held Samantha in her seat. Sammie is tall, but there isn't much to her, so I was afraid she was going to fall out of the seat. After we finished ET, we went and played in the Barney playland. It was so neat to watch Samantha discover and explore the differnt things they had to do for kids. Julie loved the color rainbows on the wall and the slides.

Finally, it was time for the show. Here was Julie's second meltdown. She wanted to stay and play and didn't understand that we need to get in and watch the show. Finally, I think Tony got her to calm down and we went in.

The girls loved it. They were smiling, laughing, dancing. It was worth the trip to see their faces when Barney came out. The show was very basic, and really it was just Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop on stage singing, but that was all they really needed.

After Barney, we took the girls back to Disney. We decided to start using more of the counter services, since we still had 11 to use. We drove over to the Pepper Market at Coronado. Julie was crying again when we got her out of the car, but I got her calm enough to go inside and get some food in her.

I got the girls a chicken sandwich which was really gross, a rotisserie chicken, and TVT got a burger. I think he ate half..he was still so full from eating the two meals the night before. The girls rotisserie chicken was really huge, enough for three people to share. So, they ate that, as much as they could, and we were set to go.

"Wait", I said to TVT, laughing, "We get dessert too."

"OMG you are not even serious." He said.

"Hey, it's paid for, you might as well get it." I was still laughing.

"You still have our chocolate cakes sitting in your refridgerator at the hotel from Le Cellier" He laughed.

"Ok, well, let me get cookies and a muffin for the girls then"

I walked over to the dessert aisle and the two woman working there were a hoot. They were just jabbering away with us. It was really funny, all we wanted was to get away from the smell of food and all these women wanted was to talk and tell us stories. Finally, TVT said he had to get away from the food.

We walked out with "Mr Tony", as my girls would say doing the Disney Dinning waddle.

We drove over to Magic Kingdom, and it was pretty crowded. We did ride IASW and the TTA, but we looked at the line for the Merry Go Round and decide that park was way too crowded to be enjoyed. So, we left and went back to the hotel.

Julie cried the whole way out of MK, all the way back to the hotel that she didnt get to ride the Merry Go Round. I was really starting to lose my patience with her crying. Tony had more tolerance than I did right then.

We got back to the hotel, freshened up and tried to figure out what to do for the rest of the day.

Back at Boardwalk Villas

"Do you want to see the old guy band today?" I teased

"We could do that" TVT answered.

"I need to call the others and tell them that I am not meeting them at Raglan Road." I said

"You told Jody and Kelly last night" He said.

"Yes, but I need to tell everyone, I haven't talked to the others in almost two days and they all need to hear from me so I can apologize for not going." I explianed.

I called Laura and got her voicemail. Then I called Jim and on his voicemail explained that I just didnt have the money for a sitter.

Laura never called me back, but Jim did. "Are you going to meet us for dinner?" he asked.

'No, my girls were never on the reservation to start with. So, I didn't know if they could go. Adding two people last minute doesn't always work. Right now, I'm watching some old guys sing the Lion Sleeps Tonight. I think they are called The Turtles." I said

"That would be the Tolkens dear." Jim laughed.

"Right, that's it." I said.

We hung up Julie asked for Apple Juice. TVT went to go see if there was any and he couldn't find a vendor around that had it. He came back with a water.

Another 3yo meltdown. "I want apple Juice" she cried and cried. Finally, the music started and she calmed down. She and Sammie were dancing to the music. It was fun to watch the girls enjoy themselves again.

We decided to go to Beaches and Cream for dinner. Julie started crying again when we left Epcot. "Julie, you have a choice, you can stop crying and we can go eat, or we can go back to the room." I was getting irked.

More crying.."I'm counting to 10 and if you haven't stopped we will not go." I counted and she stopped. For maybe a minute, there was clamness. Out came the crying again, finally Tony told her that she had to stop crying to go to the restaurant. She finally did stop crying and when we got the Beach Club, she had to go potty.

"Tony, can you get a table and I'll take her to the bathroom?" I pleaded.

He did just that, and Julie and I went to the bathroom. She cried in the bathroom, she wanted to go into a stall that was taken. Then, she cried that she wanted to get into the stroller, "No we are going inside, Mr Tony has a table." I said, not so nicely.

She stomped her feet, folded her arms, and started crying again.

I walked up to her, "You better knock it off right now, I'm really getting mad." I gritted through my teeth.

Well, I think she knew I was done with it, because I walked inside and she followed, as if nothing had happened.

I said to Tony that there was no way were were going to be able to eat all of the food. So we split a double bacon cheeseburger and fries. The girls had chicken fingers and fies.

Tony didn't even eat half of a half of burger and had maybe a bite or two of the girls dessert.

Then the girls had strawberry shortcake for dessert (which they loved) Julie was FINALLY sharing her food with Mr Tony. After all the times he had shared with her, it was only fair. I had a No Way Jose, but there was no way I was going to finish that.

We finished there and went back to the hotel to get the girls in bed. More tears came from Julie.

"Julie, you need to get lay down."

"I don't want to go to bed." She whined.

"Julie, you are exahusted you need to go to bed." I told her.

"No I don't" She said as she got up.

"Julianna Elizabeth you get in that bed right now." I yelled.

"NO" She said to my face.

Ok, I lost it. I never hit or spank my kids, I rarely yell or snap at them, but I was mad. I picked her up, put her on the bed and listen to her cry and cry. Then, I started crying.

"I need to go potty" she cried and cried.

"Julie, you just went potty, you need to say sorry to me before you get up. " I said as best I could through the tears.

"I need to go potty"

"Julie, Say your sorry, then you can go potty." I said

"I sorry mommy." She said.

"Ok you can get up and go potty then, right back to bed." I told her.

She did and minutes later she was asleep. Poor TVT. He isn't use to 3yo,. especially ones that have had such horrible days. On top of that, I lost it and I had tears streaming down my face.

I was shocked he showed up the next day after that day. Shows what a good friend he really is to us.

Thursday had to go better than Wednsday ended. A new day is what I needed..or so I thought.

 

[sweetlovin']

I got my wake up call. "So you are leaving tonight right?"

"Yes, I am, have you called to find out what the others plans are for Friday?"

"No, I may go play golf." Tony said.

I got up, got the girls and I ready and we were off. The plan was to take TVT to his house to get his car (He had been driving my minivan ever since I fell asleep driving) and then off to Ohana for breakfast. I was really looking forward to Ohana. I like the characters that are there and TVT had never eaten there.

TVT got to my room and we left for his Apt. "I hope we see kelly and her mom this morning." I said to him. At Le Cellier Kelly had said that they didnt have any plans for Thursday and she was going to try to add her name to the reservation.

"Don't you think she would have called you if she got the reservations?" He asked

"No, she may have been busy. I just hope to see her and her mom again before I leave tonight." I explained.

We got to his house, got his car and he followed me to Ohana.

We had a fabulous breakfast. The girls had such a great time and the food was wicked good.

"It's not cause I'm sitting down right? Our waitress is very very tall right?" TVT asked me.

"Yes, it's not you, she is really tall." I laughed

We finished up and Tony took Julie's hand to walk out. I grabbed Sammie and noticed that her shoe was off. I grabbed her shoe, sat her down on the side by the wall, and put her shoe back on.

I went back for the diaper bag and it wasn't there. Tony must have grabbed it, I thought.

He walked the girls and I to the car and then I asked, "BTW you have the diaper bag right?"

"Uh no, I don't. It must be in that restaurant, I'll wait here with the girls while you run in and grab the bag." He put the kids in their car seats and I ran into the restaurant.

I got to the Podium where they take your name.

"Excuse me, I just left.."

"Miss, you need to go to the back of the line and wait your turn." She interrupted.

"But you don't understand my life is in that bag" I pleaded

"Go wait you turn" She insisted. There were about 6 people in line. I walked to the back of the restaurant where I found the bus boy clearing my table.

"Excuse me, " I said, "I left my diaper bag, and my life, on the back of that chair."

"I didn't see it. If anyone found it, they would turn it in to the podium up front." He replied.

"Great" I muttered.

There were only 4 people in the line now. I waited my turn.

"Yes can I help you?" She smiled

"I hope so." I said with a very worried look on my face. "I missing a green diaper bag. I just left it there about 10 minutes ago. My life is in that bag, i really need it"

She checked the inside compartments of the Podium. "If anyone found it they would bring it here. Maybe someone turned it in downstairs, if a guest found it."

"I'll check" I sighed

I went downstairs and to the concierge. "Can I help you?" She said smiling.

"Please, can you find out if anyone turned in my diaper bag. It's little, green with black trim. It has my license, all my credit cards, money, and my AP's to both here and Universal. Please, my life is in that bag." I was almost begging. I was pleading, I had to find that bag, I just left it there. Not even 10 minutes ago.

She came from the back, "No I don't have it, but if you fill this out, if we find the bag, we will mail it to you."

"But, I can't get home without that bag. I can't have it mailed to me, my LIFE is in that bag." I said, almost stunned that I had to explain that I couldnt have my liscense "mailed" to me.

"There is nothing more I can do." She said, sympathetically.

Defeated, I filled the form out and left. I didn't know what else to do. The policy was to take it to the podium in anyone in the restaurant found it. The busboy and the podium girl told me that.

I went out to tell TVT what happend.

"You wait here." He walked off more quickly than usual.

Did he think they liked him better than me. That the bag would magically appear if he went in there. What the heck is he going to do that I didn't.

Well, he did things very differently. He walked to where our table was, walked back into the kitchen and announced, "Listen up, I am missing a little green diaper bag. I was sitting right over there. I want the last 10 people that were in that area to come out here and questioned. Someone knows where that bag is and I'm not leaving without it."

Well, it took four people, one girl finally said, "Oh I found it, I gave it to the bar out front."

He walked over, picked up the bag, and came out with the bag on his shoulder.

Later he told me he was going to trick me and tell me he didn't find it, but I was too worried about the bag, he couldn't do it.

Thank Goodness for take charge friends!!! I can't thank him enough.

We parted ways. I was off to take the girls to Bear in the Big Blue House.

I stopped at the gas station. I went to the first pump and the card didnt take. This is a new card, it's completely paid off, but maybe the magnetic strip doesn't work. I took it in, they turned the pump on, and I pumped my gas.

I went to go sign the slip, and my card doesn't work. What the heck? She tried it again and again.

"Do you have a phone I can borrow?" I asked the owner.

"Yes, here you go."

"Ok, let me call the card company, thanks"

I called, "There is nothing wrong with your card miss. Have them type in the numbers."

"I will but you can't get off the phone with me." I demanded.

"I wont" he promised.

"No, it still didnt work" I told him.

We went back and forth with him trying different things on his end and having them run the card through. Nothing worked. I had been on the phone with them at this point for an hour and a half.

"This is the ONLY card I have. I'm completely stuck here. I have two little girls in the car and I'm suppose to leave tonight. My 5yo is waiting for me to get back to his end of the year picnic. I'm going to be STUCK in florida. You HAVE to fix this." I exclaimed. "What am I suppose to do?"

"There is no reason at all this card should not be working. I don't know what to tell you. Call this number and have them get an authorization number to push the purchase through." He said. He gave me the number.

I had the people at the Gas station call and the card was still declined and they said to call the company back.

I did, "How can I help you?" she asked. "Actaully, I'm sitting here, stuck at a gas station with two kids under 3 and my card which I paid off to have on this trip isnt working. I was just on the phone for an hour and a half with you guys before, they gave me an authorization number, it didnt work. Now, I'm mad." I said in my mean voice.

"Ok, let's take a look." She said. "Ok, the numbers on the back of the card don't match the numbers in the magnetic strip. Basically, it is a defective card. We'll have to send you a new one." She explained.

"How long will that take?" I was defeated again.

"7-10 days" she said sympathetically.

"7-10 days!!!" I yelled, "I don't think the gas station wants to wait 7-10 days to get paid for the gas I JUST pumped. I owe them $50. I have two little girls sitting here waiting to see Bear in the Big blue House. What in the heck am I suppose to do?" I'm sure I sounded desperate, that is certainly how I felt.

"I don't know what to tell you she said. This is all I can do." She said quietly.

I was humiliated as I picked up my cell phone.

"Tony, I'm sooo sorry. If it is at all possible, is there anyway you could come pay my gas bill for me?" Seriously, this is one of the most humiliating things ever.

I quickly explained as fast as I could what happened.

He came to meet me as quick as he could. I felt soo bad, I apologized and apologized.

" I'll pay you back, I swear. I'm sooo sorry" I kept repeating it over and over.

"Don't worry, i know you will" he said.

At that point, he said he would go with me to Bear In the Big Blue House with the girls.

"What would you do without me" he joked.

At that point, I really wasnt sure. He had just saved me through two huge problems.

I feel very fortunate to have found a true friend

 

[sweetlovin']

Tony followed me back to the BWV so I could let the girls go to the bathroom, call DH and tell him all about the ordeal and explain that I was going to have to stay an extra day.

The reason I was going home a day early was to meet my 5yo son back home for his end of the year picnic. I was sooo incredibly sad I was going to miss that, but very glad the whole gas station ordreal happened that day and not when I left that night., I would have been stuck half way between Orlando and Home with no money at the gas station.

We got back to the BWV and Julie went potty. I talked to my DH and back off we went to Bear In The Big Blue House.

We took the boat and got to MGM about 1pm. Bear In The Big Blue House didn't start again until 2:45pm. We had some time to kill. We took the girls into The Little Mermaid Show.

Ok, I admit it. I was very nervous about taking the girls into this show. I know some kids get extremely scared when Ursala comes out. I remember having to run out with Nico on more than one occasion because he was scared. I warned TVT that I may have to run out.

"She'll be fine. Stop being such a worrier." He rolled his eyes at me.

"This is the same girl that has told us everytime that Snow White is too scary. She won't ride Dumbo. I'm just warning you, I don't want you to feel like I'm ditching you, and make sure you get a seat close to the doors, so if I have to run out, it will be easier." I was worried.

He didn't, he got us seats right in the center of the room. But, he held onto Julie, who of course, was never scared at all. She liked the show, a lot.

"Mommy, did you see the fish? Mommy it's Ariel. Look it's The Little Mermaid" She shouted and pointed excitedly as eash character came out. OK, I learned a lesson here. I need to worry a little less.

Then we did the Muppets. Now, Julianna was telling us we didn't want to do this. We told her not to wear the glasses, and it would be ok. She agreed to go in and she didn't wear the glasses. And she didn't cry. That is a success in my book

I took Julianna to the potty and it wasn't quite time for Bear still. I came out and decided that the girls needed a break. I let Sammie walk around for a bit and TVT found a bench to sit and watch the hot chicks walking by.

I noticed Sammie twirling around and singing, so I listened.

"Wing AWound the Wosie. Ashes Ashes all fall down" She sang

So, I took her hand and Julie joined us and we played about 10 games of Ring Around the Rosie. If you can imagine how silly I looked playing that game, considering my age and the fact that I had to keep falling on the ground. But the girls were laughing, getting some energy out and truly enjoying it. And to be honest, I was too.

Finally, it was time for Bear In The Big Blue House. The girls danced, clapped, popped the bubbles. I was so glad they were able to have fun, were able to move around, laugh and play. After the morning we had, they need to release some energy and cut loose.

When it was over, I stood up. "Are you ok, Grampa Tony?" I teased "Do you need help getting up off the floor?"

"No I don't need help Miss Sassy." He responded.

I giggled to myself as I watched him slowly, very slowly, get up off the floor and waddle out the door. I guess he was still full from breakfast. He did eat a lot of sausage when we were at Ohana. He said it was really flavorful.

He made it out, I turned to TVT, "I'm sure you aren't hungry, but before we have a meltdown with the girls, we need to feed them. They haven't eaten since Ohana."

"No, I could use a snack. Julie, do you want Popcorn or Ice Cream?" Tony asked her.

"I want ice cream, Please," Julie answered.

Now, I don't give Julie any dairy. She is allergic to something, and I have never been able to figure out what it is. So, instead of testing, I took her off everything.

"Ok, that is fine, we can try ice cream with her, but let's make sure that we stay off a ride for at least an hour or two. I don't want her throwing up anywhere if ice cream turns out to be what makes her sick." I said, more like a mommy than usually.

"Ok, MOM" he answered.

This was my girls first time ever having a Mickey Bar Ice Cream. They loved it. They loved it so much, that they decided to put it all over their mouths, their shirts, all over their hands. They were a mess, but they LOVED it.

Tony was such a sweetie. He finished his and cleaned himself up while I finished feeding the girls. Then he came out, grabbed the wipes, and cleaned Julie up while I finished feeding Sammie. I cleaned Sammie up and we headed back to the hotel.

We got back to the hotel, I freshened up brushed my teeth, and got ready for dinner at Chef Mickey's. Dinner reservations were at 5:10pm, so we didnt have much time to pack the girls in the car and head over there.


More to come with Dinner at Chef Mickey's and TVT makes good on the lost bet.

 

[sweetlovin']

We arrived at Chef Mickey's and waited maybe 10 minutes before we were seated.

"I'm so glad we got here early." I said to TVT. "There is no line and we can feed the kids without a crowd."

"I completely agree" he said.

He told me to go ahead and get the girls plates, while he sat at teh table with the girls. I got Julie's plate first, than Sammies. Then, TVT went up.

"You have to eat." He said as he returned and realized I wasn't eating.

"I have eaten soo much this trip, I'm sure I have gained 15lbs as it is." I said as I rolled my eyes and picked at myself.

"You know, you need to gain weight, you're too thin." He said.

"Here if it makes you feel any better, I'll eat some carrots." I said.

I ate the carrots, which were pretty good. TVT went back up for a second plate.

"Here, I got you more carrots." He smirked.

I looked at his plate, he had chicken, mash potatoes, some sort of beef, carrots and pork on his plate.

"Will you give Sammie some mash potatoes and see if she likes them?"I asked him.

She loved them, then he tried them.

"Hey these are really really good try them." He urged

I should have said no, had some restraint. I gave in too easy and tried them. They were soo good. I love mash potaotes and I rarely eat them. I couldn't stop eating them. I figured at that point, I better get up and have a salad too.

I was really suprised at how decent the food was there. The main dishes weren't great, but the side dishes were excellent.

"Are you getting another plate?" I teased TVT.

"As a matter of fact, I am" He smiled and left. I was laughing as he left the table.

"Look mommy, it's Mickey Mouse" Julie shouted and pointed.

He came to our table and each of the girls hugged him, kissed his nose and said thank you for coming and bye. I had forgotten my camera this trip, so there wasn't much else to do with them.

The girls did the same for Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Chip.


It wasn't until Dale came that things changed. Dale came and Julie hugged and kissed him, then all of the sudden, Sammie was reaching for him. She couldn't get to him fast enough from her high chair. It was one of the cutest moments on the trip.

Sammie hugged kissed and said goodbye to Dale and it was time for dessert.

"What dessert are you getting?" I laughed

"You have got to be kidding!! I can barely fit into my pants as it is. I'm so full I'm not getting dessert. I'll eat the cake from Le Cellier tonight IF I get hungry, which I won't." He said, laughing.

"Ok," I said as I turned to Julie, "Would you like to come up and pick out a dessert."

"Yes please mommy" Julie said. So we went to look at the desserts. There was ice cream, mickey marshmellow things, cakes, pies...

"I'll have a cookie please mommy." She said.

"Is that all you want?" I asked

"And one for Samanatha too." She said.

We grabbed two cookies and headed back to the table.

They each maybe ate half of one, and we were done.

"What do you want to do now?" Asked Tony

"Uh..you have a bet to fulfill." I said sternly.

"Damn, you remembered. FINE, let's get this over with."

A backround on the bet. TVT and I had a bet going that he was SURE he was going to win. I knew he wasn't. But he was so sure, I bet him that if he lost, he had to watch BrokeBack Mountian with me. Needless to say, I was right and he lost. So I had rented the movie before I came down, to make sure I had it.

The BWV doesn't have DVD players in the stuidos, which I didn't know until I got there. Then, I asked if we could have an extra one from the lobby, and they said the TV's in the studios arent equiped to host a DVD player.

Jim had offered earlier that week a portable DVD player. But when we called to ask him if we could use it he said he didn't have a charger for it. At that point, we had figured that we were going to have to go to TVT's house to watch the movie.

We got to TVT's house and the girls werent quite ready to be quiet. I brought Miss Laura's DVD, do you want to see Pictures of Magic Kingdom?"I asked the girls.

"Oh, Magic Kingdom, that's great! Yes mommy, please." Julie said.

Tony and I and the girls watched the DVD slide show of all the lands of MK. The pictures were really good and the girls loved watching IASW and Peter Pan. Finally, it was time to put the girls down.

I put the girls in TVT's bed and we went out to the living room to watch the movie.

"I told you that if you fall asleep, I'm turning it off." He warned.

"I'm not falling asleep, put the movie in. You're not welching on this bet." I said laughing. I wasn't tired, he was just trying to get out of watching the movie.

He put it in and we were watching.

"Hey, are you sleeping?." He asked as he shook me.

"No, I'm not. Really, I'm watching, see they are both looking for work." I said earnestly.

I hear him again.

"Hey, you are sleeping." He said.

"I'm not sleeping," I said as I quickly glanced at the TV. "See, they were looking for work, they were going to be working with sheep and now they are taking a break and playing golf." I answered proudly.

"Uh..NO. That is a commercail, I turned the movie off 15 minutes ago when I realized you were SLEEPING!!!" He sounded exasperated.

"Oh My.." I couldnt stop laughing. "I guess you caught me" Still laughing.

"Come on, you're exhuasted and it's getting late. I'll drive you guys back to the hotel. It's getting late and I still need to drive myself back here." He said, still shaking his head at me.. "They're playing golf" He muttered as he went to grab Julie.

I grabbed Sammie and we put them in the car and drove back to the hotel. I think I slept most of the way back to the hotel, but I did hear,

"no, no..I'm not sleeping, they're playing golf."

Hey you can't balme a girl for trying!

 

[sweetlovin']

I woke up early, packed up the car and the girls and I were ready to start our day. Now, I really wasn't planning on being in Disney that Friday. But, because of the gas station fiasco the day before, I had to stay.

I always say, if you're going to get stuck anywhere, get stuck where there is a roof over your head and all your meals are paid for.

The very first thing I did was drive around until I found my bank. I knew there were a few of them in the area, it didn't take me too long to find one. I quickly stopped at the ATM and pulled out the money I owed TVT.

Then, I started to make my way to Magic Kingdom, when I decided, I should call my friends and see what they were up to. I called Laura.

"Hey Laura." I said, excited to hear from her.

"Hey Sweet, where are you?" She asked.

"I'm still here," I said, and quickly expalined the Gas Station Drama of the day before.."I felt sooo incredibly bad about calling TVT." I explained.

"I'm sure you'll pay him back, don't worry about it." She comforted.

"Oh, I will. So what are you guys doing today?" I asked

"I had no idea you were still here. We are all going to breakfast at Fort Wilderness." She explained. "You can call and see if you can get a table and meet us over there, if you want." She invited. It was really sweet of her to suggest that.

"No, I just told the girls that we are going to Magic Kingdom," and I was out of table service credits on the dinning plan, but I don't remember if I told her that or not.

We said our goodbyes and I quickly picked up the phone to call Tony.

"Hey Tony." I said happy, I think too happy because he was a little too groggy. He was still sleeping.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked.

"Well, I was calling to find out if you were playing golf today. I didn't know what your plans were, but I want to get this money to you before I leave." I said.

"No, I'm too full to play golf this weekend." He said. He can be funny even when someone woke him up. "What are your plans today?" He asked.

"I'm headed to the Magic Kingdom." I answered. "When can I meet you to give you the money?" I asked.

"I'll just hang out with you guys at Magic Kingdom today. If that's ok with you?"

"Heck yeah, it would be fun to hang out with you! Besides, I still have 8 counter service meals I need to get rid of and they expire tonight. Come hang out with us and eat."

I think I could actually hear him flicking me off over the phone.

We met up at Magic Kingdom. And I was able to give him the money. I honestly felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulder. I HATE owing people, friends and family, money. I felt much better about all that getting resolved.

Anyone want to take a guess which ride we did first? LOL! First stop, IASW!!! We actaully fast passed Peter Pan first, but the first ride of the day was IASW.

I think poor Tony will be scarred for life after riding that as many times as he did. It's the price you pay for hanging out with a 3 and 1yo.

The fast pass for Peter Pan wasn't up yet and it was still early. We went to do standby on Winnie the Pooh, since that is one ride we hadn't done that the girls like to ride.

Then we decided that we hadn't done the Jungle Cruise at all, and I think the last thing Tony wanted was to take a few more spins around IASW! The girls actually really enjoyed the jungle cruise. And so did Tony. He had this woman sitting across from us on the boat checking him out.

I actually didn't see it, he was telling me afterwards, but i'm sure it was true.

We rode the Merry Go Round and then went into Mickey's Philharmagic. When that was over, I turned to Tony..

"We need to feed the girls." I said laughing "Aren't you hungry?"

We went and looked at the menu for Pinocchio Village Hous. I went and stood in line while Tony took the girls to sit at a table. Julie was HIGHLY entertained because she could see IASW. She would wave to the people on the boats and they would wave back.

Poor Tony. Sammie was just crying and crying for me. He couldn't settle her down and I had no idea. I felt terrible when I got back and he was telling me. (SO sorry, really) As soon as Sammie had the food in front of her, we didn't hear from her again. I'm telling you, I have no idea where she puts it, but that child LOVES to eat.

We finished there and walked out. It was significantly more crowded than it had been when we first got there.

One thing about me, I don't handle crowds well. If I can't walk without people in my personal space, I leave. It's not worth it to me to stay. I think Tony felt the same way because we walked out and he asked.

"Do you want to head to Epcot?"

"Yes, absolutely. Anywhere that isn't this crowded!!!" I agreed.

We left and made our way to Epcot.

We went over to Epcot and rode Spaceship Earth. I think this is Julianna's favorite ride there. Then we went to do Universe of Energy.

"No no no, I don't want to do this ride. It's too scary." Julie said.

"Ok, we still have some time before dinner, what do you want to ride?" I asked.

"The boat Ride" Julie said excitedly.

She really isnt trying to be Sassy when she says these things, but I couldn't stop laughing.

"I don't think Mr Tony wants to ride that ride baby." I explained, laughing, "I think Mr Tony has had enough of the Mexico Ride for this trip. How about Figment."

"Ok mum mum" She agreed.

"Let's get you a snack, do you want Ice Cream or Popcorn?" Tony asked Julie.

"Ice Cream, please" Julie replied.

Tony told me to go get a table in the Electric Umbrella and he would get the ice cream.

I can do that, I thought to myself. But, what I didn't realize is that there were a sea of people in the electric umbrella. There was no room anywhere.

We found a bench outside and the girls decided to wear as much of the ice cream as they ate. We cleaned them up as much as we could help and went on Figment.

"Let's go to Turtle Talk. She has never done that." I suggested after we took pictures at the Image Labs.

What I didn't realize is that everyone from the Electric Umbrella decided to go to try to talk to Crush. It was about a 90 minute wait for that attraction.

We decided that letting Sammie walk around the big fish tank was a much better idea.

Once out of there, we decided to take the kids to Wolfgang Puck Express for dinner.

For the record, I LOVED Wolfgang Puck Express when I have gone there in the past on the dinning plan. Apparently, they have changed. The guy was not very nice at all.

I went and got a seat with the kids and gave Tony the order for us. The only problem was, the guy was telling us since we had two kids meals on the plan we could NOT get two adult meals. Not only that, but we could only get fountain drinks with the adult meals, no bottled drinks at all. There were meals we could not order, he went on and on. I swear he was discouraging us from eating there. I almost walked out, I think I should have.

Tony got the Rotisserie Chicken, which was a great deal, but the chicken was dry. Julianna got chicken fingers and french fries, which was ok for her. But Samantha's was the worst. We got her Mac and Cheese her favorite, but it looked as if it had been reheated 3-4 times and about 2-3 days old. Needless to say, we were hardly impressed.

"Hey, here you go." The cook said from behind the counter. We looked up to see an adult cheese quesadilla being handed to us. "I made it wrong, you can have it for them if you wish."

Very very sweet of him to offer that. It was actaully very good and the girls, Julie and Sammie LOVED it.

I went to go thank him as we were leaving, but he wasn't there. It was so sweet of him to give us that for free.

Stay tuned for the final bump!!

 

[TLinden16]

I was there at the same time as your crew, and I stayed at the BWV. I wonder if our paths crossed at all

I see you were at Epcot on Mother's Day. Did you get your free Mother's Day picture?

Thanks for posting.

 

[sweetlovin']

Oh no way. I didn't even know about the free picture on Mothers Day.

I wonder if we did cross paths one day.

 

[sweetlovin']

After the food, I needed to change the girls into their Jammies to head home for the night. Tony offered for me to go to his place so I could change them, instead of changing them in the bathroom stalls at Downtown Disney.

We got to Tony's and I grabbed the girls things to change them. Julianna still needs a pull up at night. She hasn't mastered waking up if she needs to go to the bathroom yet. I told Julie to go potty one last time for the night. She did, but while she was in there, she left the door open. This isn't unusal for my not so modest child. The problem is, my lovely 1 year old is fascinated with putting things, anything on the floor really, in the toilet.

Usually, one of the kids is on the potty, so this really isn't a big deal. However, Samantha slipped by Julianna somhow and threw her last pull up in the toilet .

"Oh My Goodness!! You are not going to believe this!!" I said to Tony, laughing. At this point, all I could do was laugh.

"I honestly don't know what to do right now. I guess I will put her back in underwear and change her in the car into her pull up. " I said, trying to come up with a plan of what to do.

"You just stay here with the kids. I'll run and get the pull ups." Mr Tony to the rescue again.

"No, seriously, it will be fine. I can take the kids and go, changing her in the car wont be a big deal." I replied. I felt terrible, he had helped me out so much as it was. I felt like I was a HUGE imposition.

"Tell me the brand and the size." He insisted grabbing his hat and keys as he walked towards the door.

I conceeded, and told him all the information.

He left and he was gone maybe 10 minutes. As he was walking up the stairs, Julie started coughing.

Oh no..please please don't let this be happening I prayed.

Julie ran to the bathroom just in time to throw up all the cheese quesadilla she had eaten earlier that day.

"Oh My God, I am so so so sorry." I apologized over and over to TVT.

"Mommy mommy" I hear Julie say excitedly. "I'm all better and guess what..I did such a great job. I threw up in the toilet, not on the floor, just in the toilet. I did so good mommy."

She was so happy for herself, I had to smile, "Yes baby, you did wonderful!!" I hugged her.

After all that, I fianlly did get out of TVTs place about 10:30 - 11pm for a very long drive home, BUT uneventful drive home.


I went back two weeks later with my 5yo and my 1yo. Once I finish that report, I'll post it.

 

[TennVolTony]

hey I remember this!!
