October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 12

[kritter]

Rise and Shine Parrotheads!!!!! It's the weekend!!!!!

I just finished making boiled chicken and rice for our Kozie-boy. Before I get my shower, I'll be cleaning the carpet in the office, dining room and our bedroom, again. Other then vomiting, he seems totally fine. His personality is the same, playing with Daisy like normal....I dunno!

Gail, what a great chance to try another cruise line, but I don't think I like the way it's being planned either. There is NO WAY on this God's green Earth that either one of my boys would be taking a senior trip, to a foreign country without me! Not just because I am a helicopter parent, that's part of it, but the other part is, I wouldn't want to miss out on the fun too! LOL I have just heard too many scary things that happen on senior trips! What is the name of the girl who was on her trip and came up missing? They never did find her. How about the kids partying at Myrtle Beach when we were there and he fell out of a 6th story window? I just DON'T think it's a good idea. AND I am not so sure that I would want the responsibilty of saying to a parent of a child....I was your child chaperone and he got hurt, got lost, etc. No way. Too much for this conscience to take. BUT, if you can go and just relax and not worry about the kids, then maybe it's a good trip to take. I have the feeling though, that you couldn't do that either.

Our gas went back down to $3.89, which is where is was before Ike. I need to get gas today myself. Especially, if I am going to take the boys to the mall to finish up our cruise shopping!!!!

Oh Michele, I hope your able to get it all cleaned. What a big job!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck. AAA says 85% of the gas stations around here don't have gas. Only 3 stations had gas here last night. I was lucky, I only had to wait about 20 minutes!! The pipeline is picking up and Nashville got 2 fuel barges yesterday, so it will be back to normal in a few days.

I have not heard any of this around here. Either I am living in my own little world, which is very well possible! LOL or we are not having these issues? I have read the paper everyday, nothing was mentioned.

we have not booked our car yet for St. Maarten and I think we will wait until we get there. (just in case we end up not going, they would still charge $50 for not showing up) so as we get closer maybe a week before if I see there are no storm around and we are sure to be going then I will book. the 3 major ones are Budget, and I think Avis and Hertz. I would stick to these 3. And when you rent your car, make sure there is no R on the license plate as this is a target for theft!! also never lock the car when you park it somewhere and bring everything with you! ...I have been spending alot of time on Cruise Critic St. Maarten board and learned alot about the island.

good morning Michele!!!!!
hope your dog only has a bug and will get over this quickly? this happened to ours last month...she was sick for a few night and then was ok again??
have fun cruise shopping today.....

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Oh Michele, I hope your able to get it all cleaned. What a big job!!!!!!!!!!

Well, thankfully, it's just 4 splotches, not a HUGE mess, but a mess just the same. If he keeps his breakfast down, then I'll take the boys to the mall at lunch time. If he is still sick, then I am not sure what I am going to do. I think the vet is open until Noon. I might call and see if there is something else I should be doing.

 

[RanCan]

Hey,, you are up early!!!!!!!

Hey Kristin....still up from yesterday. I've already worked 13 hours. Both sergeants for day watch called in sick, so I'm going to keep on going until I can't go anymore....probably around 7 more hours!!!!

 

[gssmks]

Oh my class was ROUGH!!
We retired at least 1 teacher, and the rumor was he had a nervouse breakdown from teaching my class. And I guarantee you that my period with that treacher was 1 long argument, Didn't learn a thing. Whether or not he had a breakdown, he was way past when he should have left teaching. And BOY did we prove it.

If you'd have stuck us on any cruise ship, we might have sunk it.

In my opinion they all are at that age.

 

[kritter]

good morning everyone; we hope you all have a wonderful day

dee and don

Morning Dee and Don!!!

 

[pinkygirl]

That's sound exciting for next year. We should talk since I know there is a number of us planning to head down at that time next year. Enjoy the beauty weather this weekend eh!

Hello and good morning to you!!!!!!

 

[BigRed1]

yes......I'll wait for the afternoon though or when the boys are outside playing since it's suppose to be a surprise LOL

I'm sure they are busy delivering this morning!! I have been talking back and forth with Shirley for a couple of weeks. Her oldest son had surgery last week for a tumor they thought was clean, but turned out to be dirty. They had to go back in again, and they think they got it all this time. I had emailed her about my baskets and she ask if I could wait until this week. I know she has been very busy, so I think will call the shop myself. She has a great crew working for her.

My daughter would never go without me either. Like I said I don't even let her go on the local trips witout me. The people I were talking to about the trip said that a letter went home to all the parents asking for volunteers and one two parents volunteered. Crazy.

I did get on Carnival website last night before going to bed and they didn't have a 7 night cruise leaving Mobile, AL on March 22nd. They did have a five night leaving that port on the 23rd. I'm thinking maybe they are just leaving from here on 22nd and taking this cruise.
