NOVEMBER 2012 Trip Planners Thread~ Everybody is Welcome~Part 3 already!

Good morning. Little hurdle in the road and a bad night of sleep. The SIL had an eclamptic seizure and was airlifted to a hospital near our house about 2 hours from her house. twin baby boys born yesterday early afternoon. My SIL on the other hand is in ICU in a coma. No news since yesterday evening which I hope means good news. Last i read on facebook which isnt official to me is that she had gotten worse about 8pm. Once the DH wakes up we will be on our way to the hospital, and then off to work for him this afternoon. DH doesn't want to go, but I think he needs to go support his brother.

On a good note *because I need one* 121 days

I am so sorry. I know how scary this is. All of you are in my prayers.



And on that good note......121 days is going to go by faster than any of us think it will.

Prayers for your SIL and your family.

 

[aubreysmom09]

I hope everything is okay. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the twins. Were the twins premature?

From my understanding they are not preemie, but we aren't sure. DH doesn't have a great relationship with his family. I wouldn't be shocked if they were in NICU.


I have 120 days where are you staying?

We will be staying at CBR, and you?

I put this on FB but gonna post it here in hopes that someone else MAY feel this way too~ Im gonna post this because well I dont want it on my fb page and I trust you guys....
Im having a hard time today. My DH has said things to me like 'you need to do something about this closet' which isnt a big deal but he is only home at night lately and I have been doing everything! We live in a townhouse(Maryland real estate is soooooo expensive) because thats all we can afford right now so I do the best that I can with what we have. I have been taking a little bit of our vacation money here and there for craft supplies and things for our trip but now its getting down to crunch time for spending money. I *should* have enough by then BUT its getting hard. Sometimes I feel like we cant afford this trip and I know these two things are NOT related in anyway, BUT these are weighing heavily on my mind. I feel like im broke. The trip is paid for and we have half the spending money but things keep getting in the way. This week was Target Christmas shopping (which I probably shouldnt ahve done but I will not be able to get the things I got around Christmas for that price) I know everything will be fine but I still have soooo much on my mind. Bills are paid.... food is bought and trip is paid I just dont know where all these feelings are coming from UGH! I hate being in a bad mood and esp this weekend when its a DISNEY weekend!

mommyof3.....do you have all of your family binders finished?

I feel the exact same way. I am a really frugal person( i like that better than cheap). I know I will have the money, but I find myself going over the budget 3 times a week just to make sure. Just know it will all work out and we are all here for you.

I feel the same way. We live in Virginia, so pretty expensive here. Money has been a bit tight since my DH got out of the National Guard, so our play money went bye bye. I was planning on going back to work this year, and the Virginia Beach schools decided to lay off a bunch of teachers. Our DDs birthday is 4 days before Christmas. I celebrate hanukkah, which luckily is early this year. Most of our shopping is done. Our trip is not paid for, and it makes me cringe. DH has a bunch of overtime, and I plan on subbing again once school starts. I wanted to go in February, but DH said let's go before DD turns 3 because she will be free. Then free dining came out, and I booked. I think it is a normal feeling for most people. I always second guess myself when I spend a chunk of change. Everyone needs some fun in their life. I just keep telling my self it will all work out, and the worst that can happen is that we will have to change our reservation and pay for the DD.

mommyof3.....do you have all of your family binders finished?

I guess all of you missed my post .....was it yesterday? About the stress of the trip. I do this to myself every time. I have gone as far as cancelled trips in the past. Remember mommyof 3....we both had trips planned at the same time last year as well and I cancelled.......It was mainly because I talked myself out of it. I gave myself a million and three reasons why we shouldn't instead of giving myself permission to go and enjoy myself. And that is the big thing right there.......GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION. Its what we should all do. We have busy lives....we do, do, do for everyone else without a second thought. We all need to pinky swear that we are going... we are going to have an AWESOME time and it doesn't matter if the matching t-shirts are perfect or not....or even if the hairbows are the perfect size. Its Disney with family and the memories are precious.

I'm sorry .....didn't mean to rant. But the older I get the more I realize that fun filled time out of our normal routines (what is normally called vacation) with our loved ones are so important. We don't get "do overs".
So make the most of it. Relax and ENJOY!!

Sounds like you got some fantastic deals at Target.

Your schedule from what you have posted looks good.

I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend away. Especially time away from obsessing about your trip. We all need a break from time to time.

I agree. I think some of my guilty feelings are, because we were there in April. We didnt stay at Disney. I just tell my self it's ok to have fun. Plus we have our exchange student which I will now dub EDD ( exchange dear daughter) it will probably be her only chance. Ppppppfffftttt it's only money, and doesn't it grow on trees

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I agree too Smileybug... Its not exactly the money of the trip...I think its just life in general. Things are REALLY tight this week and I think its stressing him. I need to focus on the trip and save my doll hairs! Ill get it lol

thank you.

Ideally Chef Mickey (on or before 8am) and CRT (around 11am/12pm) would be earlier but I think Im pretty lucky to have gotten those spots

I picked Coral Reef because I thought the kids would like it and my husband likes seafood.

 

[princesshope1982]

i agree. We definately dont have the money to spend on this trip and have been living with just the bare minimum to be able to save but this is an experiance i want us to have and im going to work my hardest to see that it happens even if it means peanut butter sandwiches for lunch for the next 3 months lol

 

[princesshope1982]

On a side note......100 days for us!!!!!

AWESOME!!

I know its right around the corner for us.....but it feels like it won't ever get here.

Life can just plain stink sometimes. Thats why moments of intense joy and very needed. (Other than those moments of intense joy.)
