TOM! I printed my cruise tags on magnet paper! They look awesome! Now I have to figure out how I'm going to use our exclusive July 2009 tags!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having mine tattooed on my lower back.

Why don't you call the doctor and ask for a just in case prescription for her, so you'll have it and can give it to her at the first sign of illness, especially if it happens while you are gone!

I am surprised the doctor didn't automaticlly give you a script for the other child. My doctor isn't antibiotic crazy in fact , he rarely prescribes them but when it comes to strep everyone gets a script because it is usually a given if one has it everyone does. Also Docs are really jumping on the bandwagon for giving script for strep because if left untreated it can cause heart problems. Call your doc tell the your are going on vacation and request another prescription.

Thanks guys, I really should have thought of that while I was at the doctor with him. My mind isn't working fully this week. I have now called the doctor and requested a prescription for her to take with us just in case we need it. That's why I come here so all of you can remind me of the things I have forgotten to do.

Good morning fellow Disers!!

I have about 22 hours until I leave and the boys still think we are going to the beach!! We have decided to stop at the rest area on the turnpike and give them a note I made saying "Surprise, we are going to Disney World right now!!" We were just going to wait until we went under the arch and they realized where we were but decided that this way we can be sure to have the video camera running for their reaction!!

Please pray that my trip will go better than my week has so far! On Monday the A/C in the house starting acting up. Wouldn't get below 84 in here. Finally got a repairman on Wednesday morning. That cost $200 we hadn't planned on.

Then the really weird one was Wednesday evening. I picked my 14 yr old DS up from football camp at the high school and as I'm driving home all of the sudden a van about 4 car lengths in front of me starts swerving. After he gets moved over all I see is a tire rolling straight at me at a high rate of speed!!!

Anyway, I swerved and tried to avoid it but it hit my front passenger side and tore it to pieces!! Bumpers torn in half, headlight is gone and my front fender is buckled, plus I think it bent the tie rod because I drove it the mile home after the police did their report and it didn't drive right at all. It was towed to the shop yesterday!

This was the car we were supposed to be driving to Disney! Now we have a $250 deuctible to pay plus we will have to take my DH's monster of a truck! Its a nice truck but so long that I get nervous about driving it. Its a long bed, crew cab diesel F250!! There goes the gas budget for the trip too. Instead of the 30 mpg my cars gets we are looking at maybe 17??

The police and I found the tire that hit me. It was a complete wheel and tire!! No wonder it hit so hard! The police believe that it probably had fallen off a trailer or something and was laying in the road and the semi truck that was 2 cars ahead of me had probably hit it and made it stand up and start rolling because the wheel was bent. I wasn't as scared as I was mad about my car until the police pointed something out to me. He said to be glad that I swerved as far as I did and almost missed it because if it had hit the center of my bumper it could very well have come through the windshield and killed one or both of us!!!

I must have hugged my son 20 times that night!! Thank goodness no one was hurt but it sure put a wrench in my plans!! My DS14 flew back to see his Dad yesterday. He made it just fine, but I was worried after all the bad luck this week!

Things have to get better........right??? right???

I am so glad you and your son are okay. The police are right, it could have been much worse. Your bad luck is now behind you and you have nothing but magic in the week ahead!

Just sent DD9 off to competition with DH. Two more days of it to go. It's the first one I've ever missed. Someone has to watch the babies!
I keep thinking of things we should take. I have a small stockpile growing in the living room downstairs. I'm sure that I'll remember all this stuff I "might" need and forget something important like the map or my confirmation book.

hahaha I like that lol

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I'm having mine tattooed on my lower back.

Oh you definitely should!! Although maybe not your lower back......I think they call that a "tramp stamp" NO OFFENSE to anyone who does have a lower back tattoo!! I have one but it's off to the side so technically NOT a tramp stamp!

 

[tinkerbell60]

Well, it is 2:00am. I am stick wide awake. I went to Target with DD21 and I got a latte (and coffee cake) at Starbucks. It wasn't until I was about 3 sips from the last that I realized that I hadn't asked for DECAF!!! OMG... I will be up ALL night. UGH!!

I should have gotten up and gotten the Dis too - I could not sleep at all last night - but I didn't even have any caffiene - I guess I just have too much on my mind.

I woke up at 4:30, and I know there is NO going back to sleep for me! We leave in 18 hours!

Have a great trip !! You are almost there!

Good morning fellow Disers!!

Glad everyone is okay, hopefully you are done with the misfortune!

DS 14 woke up yesterday morning at 8am which was the first clue something was wrong. Then he asked to go to the doctor which was an even worse sign. He tested positive for strep and a sinus infection! He is now on antibiotics for 10 days and will still be taking them when we leave. Now I am worried sick that DD will end up with this close to time to leave.

Oh thanks for that. I needed it. Here's my question why won't my husband dance Just gotta say that is my ringtone on my phone and as soon as the video finished my phone started ringing coincidence? I think not

Thank God you are all alright. Your week can only get better.

Hope everyone stays healthy now. That is always a worry, getting sick when it is time to go! My husband won't dance either and NO matching T-shirts .....

Hey guys!

Just bought some lime green bracelets. So if you see me, come and say hi! hehehe

Now I am going to be checking out everyone's wrists!! Those are cute! Hope your headache is better too.

Okay, I just went on the disneyworld website to update my itinerary with the new hours. I can't believe how much they extended them!! MK open until midnight when before, it was 10! (With EMH to 3am!) I hope that doesn't mean they anticipate larger crowds.......

I love EMH till 3am - that would be a great time for a Dis meet - over by Pirates of the Caribbean - it is empty over that way late. Nikki - enjoy your day, and try to remember the little things. Thanks again for doing all the ADRs

I have been cleaning with the help of DS12 - who for some reason, likes to clean - don't know where he came from! Have to pick up the dog from the groomer. Packing is mostly done, still doing the last minute laundry. Only 2 more sleeps till we leave, and 5 more till we check into the CBR on Wednesday!!

If anyone is at DHS july 23 at 3pm, Nikki and I will be meeting at Sci-Fi, outside, in front of the car.

Anyone interested can join us.

I didn't ask Nikki yet, but I assume she'd be alright with it?

 

[PopArtGal]

If it helps you Tink60, it'll always be on my right wrist

 

[disneydaycare]

DH just called to inform me that I had forgotten part of DD's costume. Disney made me lose my mind, is not an excuse they will accept. Hopefully someone had a spare.

Thanks!!

I just called Tom to tell him about the 3am EMH on the day we get there, the 19th. Our first thought was, we'd be well into dreamland by that point since we are taking a 6:30am flight but THEN we thought, we could take a loooong nap that afternoon and be ready to go for EMH! So we'll probably be there! Look for us!!! We have an orange sling bag with with LGMH on it!
