OMG!!!
I can feel the pixie dust being sucked out of your dream trip like a in law vortex.

As my DDiL (Got Ron) has posted, we leave next week. If I ever was that unappreciative I hope DDIL would show me a quick exit off of Nemo. Jenn as eveyone here is my witness I will never make you rub my ugly feet...I love you too much.

Please let us know that this trip has a happy ending and that you have some happy memories to carry you through.

omg misty..this wait has gone on WAY TOO LONG.....I need to be in hysterics some more...I would totally have killed your MIL....but I have to tell you ...when she fell in the bathroom, that just made me laugh my ssa off....I would have told her no more leaving out the room the rest of the night ....if shes well enough to go out and smoke shes well enough to take care of her own self.....I hope to god you arent taking her again.....

 

[Keggy]

You are way to kind to your MIL!!!!!!!! NO WAY, NO HOW! At this point I would have told her to go get her own room!!!

I am loving your trippie and your kids are SOOOO cute!

 

[TiggerandTink]

Spongie - your tr is great. I can't believe all that your MIL put you through and still you kept her alive! But we need more. Has UtahMama been giving you tips on keeping us in suspense and getting your post count up?

 

[suzieq2158]

Come on Spongie - the suspense is getting to me. I need more! You are the reason I am addicted to the dis. Please tell us more, just another sentence. Something, Please. Pretty please. Anything will do.

I can now feel the Fatigue kicking in from lack of sleep many nights before, and i have the worst upset stomach I just want to sleep all day.
But waking up in a hotel room in Anaheim does something for you.
The excitement starts to kick me into gear , i look up at the clock and it is about 11ish the kids are still asleep I debated on whether to wake them up or just sleep all day and then Mayson wakes up and that idea goes right out the window.. i am very Thankful that he is always a bright eyed , happy go lucky kid every morning it makes it alot easier on me and my Crankiness
I start to get the kids dressed and myself ,
i am trying everything in my power to avoid MIL because i am afraid if she says anything to me i am gonna strangle her verbally . I ask what the agenda for the day is and no one has any ideas so i suggest going to breakfast and then deciding later.
We load up and head out to Bakers Square for food
I forgot Mayson's sippy cup because i was so tired i did not set out the next day's items, so i buy him a Mickey one (which of course he has no problem with)
Breakfast is ordered and we sit pretty quietly at the table when it is mentioned by Dh that there is a Hollywood Wax Museum that might be fun to visit, we clean ourselves up and pay the check and head out . After about 20 minutes we arrive
I start to pull the stroller out when i notice that it is dead, except for the starbucks that is semi-busy located in front i tell Lonnie to hold on and
i walk up to the front and sure enough it is closed (like permanetly) so now back to square one, What to do to kill time before Mickeys Halloween treat at 6 ish ?
We debated on Knotts Berry farm since it was right there but i did not want the kids exhausted for the party that night , so i Vetoed that, we almost went to Ripley's museum, (nope)
So i voted back to the Hotel and we would just chill out and Maybe Just Maybe i could sleep. (Anyways ) I really did not want to be around MIL for the fear of killing her but suprisingly it was okay,DH was able to get the internet working so he finishes up the school work he so needed to do and the kids just watched TV and put together puzzles . Lil Man was able to take a Nap Because MIL walked downstairs to the gift shop and did some shopping and cleaned out her van , smoked and made phone calls . Which i was very Thankful for.
I finally started to doze off but could not sleep that long because it was already so late in the day after all i got a partial Hour nap ( if you can call it that, I still could hear everything going on around me stupid mother instincts ) I started on DD hair (the curling of her butt length hair was going to take some time) but after an hour she was dressed and ready to go.
I finished getting Mayson Dressed and Camden then helped the Boys adjust there costumes and with a double check for everything we are off .
We ride the Tram over and go through security
But not without getting stopped every 5 minutes for questions about there outfits ... where we got them ? if they were available online ? or what store we purchased them at?
I love my kids because with the biggest smiles on there face They Reply "My MOM MADE THEM" which makes all the hard work and seam ripping , swear words and long nights all Worth it !!!
We make our way into DCA ,Now mind you this is also our 1st day in this park,

We rent MIL her scooter and we are off to Trick or Treat (we have decided that we won't ride any rides tonight because the kids are more interested in Trick or treating. ) So we hit our 1st character of the night POOH we snap a picture (i am not exactly sure what Mayson was thinking about Pooh but there were no tears)

so on to our 1st station (mickeys Hide and Go treat Trails) which was located in The Disney Animation studio, where we scored big time ... there was only a few people in line for the animation studio and i knew we should have done this when we could but decided to move on to the next station Monsters Inc. treat stop we grabbed our healthy snacks (my kids love apples and carrots) and joined the bat-lot dance party for a second

we snapped some photos of Woody,Buzz Lightyear grooving away . Not the best pictures, Made our made our way over to The Tower Of Terror

Where we ran into our photo pass oppurtunity and pictures were snapped,
And Here is where MIL lost it, This time it was because she did not get her picture, she expected us to 1st Read her Mind and 2nd hold up the line until she was ready to snap her shot .
so DH told her NO that we would share our pictures with her . and she threw a fit . It was already pretty dark and i just hoped that we could get through all the treat stops before the parade started.
Besides right now is not a good time to loose any children .
I calmly explained too her Yet againThat i have her photopass card and i have been putting them on hers as well, she mumbbled something and a 4 letter word escaped her mouth and she stormed off yelling that she just had to go smoke
The poor photo pass photographer said she would take our picture again for her and i explained that i already had given the card... she felt bad which i assured her it was not her fault and on we went to the next station, we decided to stop for a hot dog at Award Wieners because the kiddos were hungry , sorry the picture is fuzzy

while waiting for dad i snapped some photos of the pirate princess who already looked exhausted ,
After our bellies were full we made our way through candy corn acres and hit A Bugs Land ,This time the kids got Candy.. we hit Pirate Wharf where i snapped some random pictures of Capt. Hook and Goofy dressed like a pirate

and crossed over to Golden State and hit 5 treat stops we passed by Golden Screams and i snapped some pictures of the evil stepsisters, we were at the Orange zipper when someone had mentioned that they saw Mayson's pirate hat on the ground a bit back so Lonnie started the mad search for it, but we had no luck it was too dark and probably gone forever. We played a few games at the Boardwalk and i had to stop and get the Disney Treat pin. We made our way back to the front hitting each treat stop as we passed i snapped a picture of Princess aurora by Ariel's Grotto as we walked by because Jayedyn did not want to wait in line to meet her.

Our bags were getting pretty heavy and the kids were starting to drag a little so with a ton of apples, carrots and car Raisin boxes we decided to call it a night when i remembered about the parade so we walked up to the front and got our spot in front of Candy Corn Acres which if we would have moved down just a few spots we could have seen everything perfectly
(while waiting the kids all over were dancing out in the street my kids went out and joined them they were laughing and being silly which was nice to see

Mayson wanted to go out to so i took him out there

and then sooner than we knew the parade started

Wendy and Peter Pan walked right by us

then Princess Atta

and then came the dancing witches ,

Mayson was in awe with all the bright colors in front of him Then we saw Alladin and Jasmine

Mr and Mrs Incredible

(which logan was screaming at)

We were watching the parade When one of the witches came and pulled Jayedyn out to dance in the street with her so out she goes doing the Monster Mash and having a blast

She was dancing with Peter Pan and the witches laughing and smiling away. We tried to snap some pictures of the characters but since it was facing the opposite side of the street we were on it was hard .

Mayson kept saying Mickey,
goofy,

Puto , Donald Duck

as they danced away ..

after the parade was finished Jayedyn got a special button to add to her lanyard for participating

Now it was pretty late and the kiddos were exhausted so we started to head out with the crowds when Jayedyn was stopped again, by a nice lady and her daughter who gave her some pixie dust she gave her a Tinkerbell pin and told her how she had won some year of million dreams prize or hotel night and explained to her what she needed to do it was hard to hear her but Jayedyn got what she was saying one for her to keep and one for her to give away she politely said Thank you and off we went .

 

[spongemommie05]

Mayson was starting to dose off Once we were outside (Poor guy) while waiting for MIL and DH to turn in her scooter

Jayedyn see's this lil girl crying she was probably about 5 yrs old she pulls me over to her and tells her "You don't need to be sad i have a special gift for you and she hands the lil girl the give away pin," and the girl stops crying her mother say's Thank you and hugs my DD!
with a huge smile on her face and Pixie Dust shared we Snap a few more pictures while now waiting for MIL to smoke

We make our way back to the tram and over to the hotel no late night stopping tonight because tommorow is our Early Reservation for Goofy's Kitchen @ 7 am we are supposed to be there at 615ish. Then It is our 1st day in Dca. and our last day Of Disney


So the night begins i start Mayson's bath and Him and Jayedyn bathe together while the older kids do the same on the other side . I put together there clothes for tommorow. it will be Star Wars shirts(thanks again Amy ) and mickey and minnie outfits for Mayson and Jayedyn (goofy's Kitchen only and then there Star Wars shirts)
while i am getting Mayson ready for bed i look over and lil girl is out at least she got dressed, i take Mayson to the other side with me and notice the boys are all out, I lay him down with the older boys so that i can pick up camden from the floor he has fallen asleep on his pajamas instead of in them..
I lay him on the Bed and i lay next to Dh who is asleep (of course) and i glance over at the clock and it say's 2 am i think 4 more hrs and i have to get up so i grab a sleeping Mayson and Lay him next to me on the floor I am not even gonna attempt the bed, Mil is outside smoking and walks in and slams the door waking a stirring child up . Who begins to cry i swaddle him but that is just not working tonight , Mil say's she is sorry, and i ignore her
I end up having to walk and rock Mayson back to sleep (which after a Hour and a couple of wake up he is finally out. )
And so is MIL i lay my head against the pillow so that i can get some shut eye .
Mil gets up to use the bathroom and starts her cronic audio vomit and can't find her cigarettes which in the attempt knocks off her suitcase with a loud crash to the floor , Mayson stirs and i pray silently please go back to sleep.. and luckily he does , i get up walk over to the tv entertainment center reach on top grab her cigarettes hand them too her and walk over to the sink wash my hands and lay back down all in one motion but that is only for a few minutes because MIL has shut the door all the way and does not have her key . i open the door and i lay back down Mayson wakes up again i give him some milk and turn on the Mickey dvd and i end up holding him in a newborn nursing position i swear and he goes back to sleep, Mil ask's me what time we need to wake up tommorow for breakfast and i let her know yet once again 6ish
as a glance over at the clock which boldly displays 5:00
She replies about how i should get some sleep it is gonna be a long day If i did not have Mayson in my arms i could just see me jumping over my sleeping DD and strangling her ..

[UtahMama]

Oh lordy, you got how much sleep that night? Goofy's Kitchen is not a good place for the sleep deprived or cranky MIL's. I can NOT wait till you let her have it!

You guys all look so stinkin' cute!

Oh, MIL's costume is purrrrrfect.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Oh, MIL's costume is purrrrrfect.

Oh, good, someone else said it first!

My gosh, you are KILLING ME with the cliffhangers, woman!
Waiting somewhat patiently for the grand finale...

Oh, and your DD nearly had me in tears when she gave away the special Tink pin. What a sweetheart she is!

 

[Spartangirl]

Great update!

I LOVE that Jayedyn shared the pin she was given.....that got me a bit teary-eyed......so sweet!

Your kiddos are too cute and you did a terrific job on their outfits! Wow, you're talented!!!

I can't WAIT to hear about the blow-up.......it's been a long time coming!!!

 

[jham]

Great job Misty! I think it will be cathartic for ALL of us when you do finally give the MIL a talkin' to! There will be a collective sigh of relief And Jayedyn is such a sweetheart, making that little girl's night I'm sure. We that Jayedyn!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Great UPdate Spongie! It was really worth waiting for! Great job on the costumes - I was wondering about the costume of your MIL - are you sure that's a costume?

 

[UtahMama]

I just hung up with Misty on the phone and she said there was plenty of profanities said (finally) to her darling MIL next installment. Sorry for the spoiler...like anyone doubted~ I know Misty and she'll take a LOT before she blows up. AND, she rarely says the "real words" so I think next chapter should be a doozy!

Let me guess, here are the ingredients:

Forgotten estrogen
Having slept on the floor all week
Youngest toddler hasn't slept well at night
Hacking, farting, whining, complaining, belching, snoring, pissy-pants MIL all night.
7 AM character Breakfast high expectations
Halloween party the night before and resulting candy hangovers x 8



On the plus side:

estrogen was remembered eventually?
DH gave Misty Ben and Jerry's or Pepsi, or roses or something to make her day?
MIL in a rampage lost her voice?
Kids were darling angels for breakfast?

heh heh, I'm dying for the next chapter!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Me too!

 

[twob4him]

Yeah..what a great update...looks like there was sooo much to see and do! Did you ever finish all of the goodies? I really love all of the matchy pirate outfits! Terrific job!! And your mil's true-to-character one

Now I know it takes forever to load up all the pics and type out the whole report but I feel like I will explode if you don't post the "Blow Up" episode soonerish~ I will try to be patient...perhaps some tea and popcorn

 

[spongemommie05]

Thanks , You know it is not all my fault there were a couple of days where photobucket was messed up but i promise i will post soonerish (promise...) esp since wendy teased you with a spoiler
i am dowloading my pics to photobucket today and tommorow. so maybe just maybe Fri . i already have the report for the blow up done just need the rest of the day..
Thanks for reading and i am so glad you all were thinking what i was that night about MIL costume...

 

[HeatherSue]

I love the pirate outfits, you did such a great job on them! Love the picture of you all dancing in the street, too cute! I was also thinking that MIL was wearing an appropriate costume.

Can't wait 'til the expletives roll!

 

[suzieq2158]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I love your trip report. The kids look so great in their costumes. Not only are you a saint (patience), but a talented costume designer. Amazing.
However, what is with the MIL outfit. Did she come up with it on her own. Very appropriate I would say.
And your daughter, she is an angel. I was so touched by her act of kindness.
Looking forward to your next post.
