Hope the party went as well as you hoped!!


Glad to know the drama isn't IMMEDIATE drama... though Lord knows any family drama is drama enough!

Glad you're back around....

Are you ok????/ kidney infections can get serious and painful. I know my sister was born with serious kidney problems and we delt with all the time she was growing up. Major scary. Lots of rest and fluids. Take care of yourself we need you, you do know we can't get through our days without you to make us smile and giggle and say omg!!!!!!

I'm so excited for you!!! Are you staying DVC? You said something about taking food so that's why I was asking.
Living in Texas it just to long of a drive for us, so I order food (garden grocer) for us to have breakfast in our room, except for the MK days were I get breakfast from the Main St. Bakery , I have to get my MSB fix on while I'm there.
I'm so excited about our resort....this time we'll be staying at the CSR, we've never done a moderate, only value. I'm making it a surprise for our son who saw the pictures of the resort and said he wished we could stay there. He has no idea, he thinks we're staying at the Pop.

We are just bringing stuff like cheese and cracker english muffins and cereal and orange juice. I am a toast girl and they don't have toasters in the room so I bought a little 2 slicer to bringalong with my hot pot. I don't drink coffee so I like tea and hot chocolate and the coffee makers in the room make water taste funny. We are driveng from Maryland we are leaving here Friday the 27th and stopping in Georgia on the way down. We have a van so I can over pack if I want. Example I have to work early Friday so Dan is gonna have tha van packed when I get home and the queen air mattress set up in the back of the van for me to sleep while he drives. I love stow and go seating.I'm not sleeping the night before.

Sounds like fun! No sleep because of the job? What do you do? You also mentioned teens, will they be with y'all on this trip?
I love my stow and go van too, it been a total blessing.
I was just telling my dh that I wanted a CR-V for my next car seeing how we won't need a van for the kids anymore, (which will be a looooong way off) but I know I will miss the van.
We tend to drive the wheels off of things before we get something newer. I'm so excited for you!! Your going to WDW!!!
I'm a long ways off....well, compaired to you. It seems like it's a while, but when your planning and prepairing the time really fly's by doesn't it?

We have a 20 year old son who is staying home to take care of 4 dogs, a ferret named wall-e, a hamster and fish, he went on his 18th b-day and we took his girlfriend, who isn't anymore , thank the makers, and we decided to make this a just the two of us trip. We were supposed to meet my Mom, Dad , Sis, BIL, niece and nephew down there, they got there yesterday, but they changed plans and went down a week earlier so we head down the day they come back. We are celebrating 25 years together there, we met dec3rd forever ago.
I work at Sams club I run the Jewelry counter and I have to be to work that Friday by 5 so I'm not gonna sleep that night just pack and such I never get to bed til 2 or so anyway.

Hahahaha Salad Dressing Day is very funny. We had points, but our homeroom teachers were the ones who totaled them up and some of them, esp the AP teachers, just couldn't be bothered with it, so the points weren't always accurate. And the school made sure the seniors always won. So all in all, our points system was pointless. It was mostly just for fun!

Ours was so pointless too. They really just had outfits of the day for points and then would have eating contests during lunch and stuff like that!! (Thank goodness I never had to do an eating contest...this one poor girl had to do hot dogs and they took her picture and put it in the yearbook! Its bad!) Seniors always came in first, then juniors, then freshmen, then sophomores. I think they always thought the upperclass deserved 1st and 2nd and maybe they didn't want to make the freshmen sad by being last? It always has been that way though!

Okay! Hi everyone and I am back in a 1/2 @ss way.

I appreciate everyone's kind words and I am starting to feel better. Was born with my right kidney not functioning and spent from March 96-Feb 98 in the hopsital almost 2-3 weeks each month before my 1st kidney surgery. Many since then and not all the big issues are worked out. Never fails taht I get an infection right around TOM (sorry if TMI but tough sh!t you asked for it) and when it is a bad infection - my TOM is impacted and just misserable. Should be a few more days of torture and then finish up meds next week and then better. Not new for me but this infection is worse than usual and all the stupid stress from stuff doesn't help.

Good news is that I have some progress to report!

#1 Treyner's Dad is flying to Colorado to drive with Treyner on December 15th. They will drive home if he goes to the school in Nebraska. (only 6 hours away and doesn't start till end of January.) If he goes to Anderson University in SC - he and his Dad will drive to Knoxville (Thanks Shannon! ) and leave his Jeep there. Treyner will then fly to Orlando to meet us - his Dad will fly home.

#2 We decided to fly to Orlando. Too much rigamaroll with everyone in different directions. Plus Dan now has to work out of state the 14th, 15th and morning of the 16th so driving just completely got screwed up.

Now we arrive on December 18th and depart December 24th. Will purchase airline tickets this week.

Tentative plans: Dan and I will fly in early and get there by 11 am so we can get rooms situated and a few surprises ready for the kids. I do not want to arrive at 1 a.m. and try and get the longhouse we want and then be ready for the parks the next day after getting things situated.

Carsyn will go to school that day and then my sister will pick her up and take her to the airport - she will meet up with Baylor - (she can carry his bag in with her at no charge) and they will fly together to Orlando on the 5 pm flight - ariving in Orlando at 11:15 p.m.

(bonus is that way my sister will be there to get Baylor's bag anyway that will be comming in from Colorado.)

They can manuvere magical express just fine together at 16 and almost 14 so I am not worried at all.

Treyner will be decided on when he flies in when he knows where he flies in from.

#3 Anderson College lost on Sunday in OT so the coach there should be giving Treyner a call soon to arrange a visit. I am guessing the first week of December. I want this part over so we know where he is heading next.

#4 Carsyn got her braces off this morning and she is so happy she may have also won the lottery and is hiding it! We had a great weekend and she is really growing up. Making good and thoughtful choices and I am so proud of her! I will post a picture of her tonight or tom!

#5 - We still have a reservation at the Poly but in 2 weeks if money does not fall from the sky - we will have to change it to somewhere else. The flights are going to add $1,000 to the budget and if I have to choose for less days in Florida and drive or stay at a moderate or value and fly - I want my days there! I am okay either way. Huge relief jjust to get the lagistics ready to get there.

#6 Party went just okay yesterday - have a great recruit lead so that would be fantastic if I can make that work!

Need to go and get new reservations since we will be there different days for dining. Will post that tonight as well!

My sister was born with partial use of one kidney and had to have the tubes from kidney to bladder replaced cause they didn't work so I know exactly what you are going thru. We almost lost her several times growing up, she is fine now and hasn't had many problems lately thank god, I feel for you, wish I could fix it just like I felt with Jen.

Your sis and I sound like we have similar issues. I also had a right uretal (the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidneys) re-implantation in 98 and several stints put in since.

My biggest issue was that it went not diagnosed till I had 3 kids and now - they say I should not have had any because of the damage done.

Glad I did not know because I would not want to change them being here at all - but I have also passed on some genetic garbage to my kids I might not have chosen to do if I would have known. Carsyn just had kidney surgery in March and April.

 

[DONTMINDME]

My mom miscarried between me and my sis and almost died so the drs. gave her a drug to stop her from losing Jen and it caused all the problems, my mom feels guilt all the time . Jen had 2 healthy children and my mother is to say the least obsessed with them my niece is the spitting image of my sis only healthy and I know my mom feel very strongly about that. Let me tell you how bad it is, my mom is 67 and she is going para-sailing in Disney this week because my niece wants to go. Go figure, I personally think she's nutz but what do I know.I can't get her to drive over to my house alone, she's afraid she will get lost.
I'm glad you got to have your kids too they are great and I can't wait to see Carsyn without braces, she's gonna be a knockout, my son already says she's a hottie but he's too old for her. Hope treynor get the school he want and Baylor has a blast at camp, Don't worry if you don't get Poly as long as it's Disney you guys will have a blast, but I'll pray for a 40% off pin for you how's that.Wish we were going together.

Dawn.. I'm so sorry to hear you weren't feeling well! But I'm happy you are almost all better

I'm sure figuring out how you are going to get everyone to FL is a big relief. And that stinks about maybe having to switch hotels. The Poly is truly amazing. I'm sure you'll be able to stay there one day though!

I'm so sorry honey about your kidney issue's, I've been praying for you and I just know that I'm going to hear good reports of what He's doing for you.
Keep plugging through like I know you do.

Your a VERY hard person to get ahold of, I've tried to call you a few times but started feeling a little like a stalker....it's safe now.... you can come out of the house and turn back on your phones now.

I do want to talk with you when your feeling up to it, I have something I wanted to share with you, and it's killing me that I can't share it with you!

Don't call until your really feeling up to it, I don't want to be added to your list of things that have to get done. I also don't want to contribute to why your not slowing down, and I know you have a hard time slowing down so be kind to your body and get plenty of rest girl.

Dan. Be sure to make her rest!

Sorry to hear about your kidney problems, and that Carson has already been dealing with it at her age too.

My BIL had found out he had complete kidney failure 6 years ago, without any prior symptoms (that he noticed). Then was on dialysis for 2 years before they found out another BIL was a perfect match so they did the donation. Now both brothers have 1 large healthy kidney and are doing well.

 

[DONTMINDME]

I have been trying to fix that for 2 months thank you. I have a real banner

 

[DONTMINDME]

I know you are feeling a little better being able to make plan now that the travel arrangements are settled.1 more check off the list, and I know your lists they keep growing just like mine. Please rest we need you healthy so you can enjoy Disney and write us an awesome TR and I hate when anyone hurt I have this uncontroled urge to fix it and I can't from here, I guess it's the mom thing.

 

[Dizneydawn]
