Cleveland Browns area here too, but with hubby from NY, he is a Buffalo Bills and diehard NYYankees fan - that's what we will be doing in the sports bar!! Go Yankees!

79 more work days if you're a Stay At Home Mom

Actually I would go as far as saying that is 316 work days crammed into 79 calendar days if you are a Mom.

(79 as cook, 79 as maid, 79 as chauffer, and 79 as homeschool teacher or outside-the-home work)

 

[CrazyZeus1]

So true! And I should edit my orignial post to say "any mom" not just stay at home!!!!

 

[TnRobin]

I wouldn't edit it. It is perfect. I just ran with your idea.

Don't forget 79 days as a psychologist/guidance counselor/mediater.

Can you tell that I have teenager, a tween (who's a girl-if that doesn't say it all)) , and a 6 year old that loves to push buttons.

It's all good, all good!

Well, yesterday I picked up mardi gras beads, I have all our shoes packed, & snorkel stuff packed, and I picked up our dress clothes from the dry cleaners yesterday. I also have the kids school stuff all packed and ready to go for school. They go back September 4th and then it will be just crazy!!! So this is my time to do most everything and then I can relax a little. Yeah, right!

Hope all is well with everyone!!!!

Some are wearing them to port so they can identify each other as posters from this thread.

Is anyone going to try to make a logo t-shirt or wear a DISer green t-shirt?

Everyone ready to stay up late tonight? My travel agent has said she's going to make the reservations for me but I think I'm going to be up just to see for myself. Best of luck to all!

What time can we start making reservations? I get home at 11:30 tonight.
Might stay up late and see what I can accomplish.

When I called DCL they said 3 a.m. EST Sunday is when it will open. However, some people have said they were able to get in around 12:00 a.m. EST - can't confirm.

 

[Kruegs]

Just so you goofs don't stay up tonight for no reason, DCL just told me over the phone that our window opens on the 30th, which would make it tomorrow night (Sunday into Monday), not tonight (Saturday into Sunday).

The rep. told me that the window opens at 3am Eastern, however I too have seen posts with people able to access reservations as early as midnight Eastern.

Hope that helps - and if we need to be on tonight and the woman I spoke with was wrong, PLEASE let me know!

I'm not 100% certain that tonight's the night for the last group, but my countdown ticker says 76 days, 1 hour and 56 minutes till the cruise - so technically anytime past midnight is 75 days till the cruise. Guess we'll know soon enough. My TA was going to be up tonight so we'll see. Best of luck to you.

I'm pretty sure our due date for the final payment (7/30) is also the "official" 75 day mark. I'm new at all of this, however, so I could very well be wrong. Just didn't want a bunch of sleepy cruisers for no good reason.

 

[DisneyFamilyTX]

Just used a link from an earlier post to calculate days - drumroll please...

From and including: Sunday, July 29, 2007
To, but not including : Saturday, October 13, 2007

It is 76 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 2 months, 14 days excluding the end date

So, it would seem that we should sleep well tonight as tomorrow we'll be up late!

 

[bevtoy]

Guess I can relax and get some sleep.

 

[Kruegs]

Book now if you were waiting for the 75 day window!

It won't let me book my excursions or palo, it says sorry final payment has not been made or that they do not have birthdates for all of us, that can't be, I made final payment to Dreams Unlimited on Thursday and I checked and they do have all of our birthdates, what can I do, I hope I am not going to miss out on the things I have worked so hard on to plan??????
