October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 4

[MinnMick01]

Major bad mother alert this morning...

I checked Ellis' medication (I do it reguraly for cracks / discoloration etc and found it was out of date by a week - holy cr*p - never done that before

I felt dreadful. It would still have been ok to use, but I'm usually over cautious with it. I subscribed to a site that was meant to inform you when the epipens were expiring - they never emailed me - last time I rely on anyone else, but its my own fault too for not checking. Luckily i managed to rush through a repeat prescription - usually takes 48 hours just to get the prescription off the doc but she did it by 4pm today so then I rushed it to the chemist and luckily they had one injection in stock and he's ordering the other 3 for tomorrow.

I felt awful - my poor wee munchkin could have got real sick and it would have been my fault.

Just a reminder to all on meds - please go check them. I will be much more vigilant after this scare.

And then to top it all - he goes and makes me soooo proud of him today by getting his 25 metre swimming badge

DH scott here... Good job Ellis

DH scott here....Note to Jen (millerpjm) Usually it is my wife on this, I pop in only a few days a week due to my work schedule. So if you see post without "DH here" or something close to, it will be her posting.

What part of WI are you from? I think you make #9 from that fine state that is on this thread.

Hey there...thanks for the warm welcome!

My name's Jen (yes, last name Miller) and I live in Wisconsin. This is going to be my first cruise EVER, and I'll be sailing with DH and my 4 year old son in one cabin, and in an adjoining cabin will be my mom and a friend. I'm also an obsessive planner - I have been reading on this board since October of last year! So, while we're all chatting....see if I've missed anything in my planning so far:

Cruise - booked and paid in full (yeay!)
Airplane tickets - purchased (flying in on the 19th)
Hotel booked - near the airport with a free shuttle and breakfast
Ground transportation - working on (not happy that they just automatically add 20% tip - is that normal?)
Gift baskets - ordered from Shirley!
Excursions - I can book on August 6, so far I'm planning to do the Pirate excursion in Grand Cayman - my DS loves ANYTHING pirate, and he's going to flip over Pirate night!

Be patient with me...I may be asking a few questions over the next few weeks...but glad to meet you!

Jen

Oh GREAT, another WI family, there are quite a few families from WI, and we always welcome more. Where in WI are you from?

Scott here, Not even commenting on the big head thing...

I will let Jeff or Chris have that fun!

Geez, opened my big mouth on that one huh? Maybe Jeff and Chris won't see it

maybe ill follow him around and he will let me have the table craps. the groupies he doesnt want.:
ill tell them im his manager or something to make me sound good.

You can have all his groupies, he's a one-woman kind of guy!

that reminds me of a story about our ds. in 93 we were staying at the caribbean. he was 16 i think. he had a couple of girls chasing after him the whole vacation.
years later we found out in order to impress them he told the girls that i was the owner of a minor league baseball team!!
like father like son.

I was gonna say.... wonder where he got that from

Hi there,

I'd just like to pop in and say hi...I'm a first time cruiser who'll be sailing on the Magic for the Oct. 20th Western Cruise.

I'll admit I haven't read this whole thread yet, so I hope I'm not just barging in. I just can't wait to cruise!

Jen

1st time cruiser sailing the Magic, Oct. 20 '07!

Do not worry about reading all the past posts there are way to many to catch up on. Just jump right in here and have some fun. Cruising in our family is myself, DH, DD 12, DS 11, DD5, and my parents.

Jen, remember, there seems to have been a change in the reservation computers and the ressies can be made at Midnight EST on Aug 6th. I don't know where you are from but for me being on the west coast I can make those ressies at 9pm Aug 5th. Just a bit of help so you can get the ressies that you want.

Did anyone get a chance to look over my ressie plans that I posted a few pages back? I was hoping for some feedback. I can re-post if need be.

 

[MinnMick01]

aghhhh. robin was on and i missed her!!! sorry baby.
by the way, what are you wearing?

I didn't know you cared. Here is what I was wearing.
