OFFICIAL October 2009 thread - LET US KNOW YOUR PTR LINK!

[KimRaye]

So we order Chinese food for dinner. She comes running to find us later to show us her Fortune from the Fortune Cookie. She swears it is a sign! It said, "Your feet will soon land in many countries". I can't wait to tell her her fortune was right....she can see France and many other countries at Epcot!

That is sooooo cute!!!

Have a great trip all who are leaving this week. Three more weeks for us and I am glad and sorry to know that so many others have medical issues pending. I can only enjoy being on the dis to share the magic as our trip is a surprise for DH and DGD and I can't talk about it around the house. DH was injured at work last week ( as some of you know) and work is dragging their feet with his MRI appointment. So afraid to tell him about the surprise for fear he will say GO WITHOUT ME. Its his birthday! and no, I didn't get insurance either. Lets all share the pixie dust and prayers for each other. I trust all will end magically! Congrats to Carp09. Happy Wedding weekend. The rest of you- GET PACKING!

Eeeeeeeeeee, two days!

I only have tonight to sleep in my own bed and then tomorrow night we're at the airport hotel.

When I think about how close it is I feel ever so slighty sick..........

I just want all the 13 hours of travel to be over and to be on the ME!

 

[grandgathering]

3 days for us too! Cannot wait - the 13 of us will be meeting in Buffalo on Thursday night and then its JetBlue at 7am on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun everyone!

For those who are battling the flu in your ouse, I now swear by Oscillococcinum! It is found at CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, etc. You can print a coupon online from their website. My son got the flu last year and was given one of the flu drugs. DH got it next and he got flu meds too. I gave DD some of the Oscillococcinum as soon as I found it and started myself on it, since she had a dance competition that weekend. DD had a fever one day, felt tired, but was able to dance the weekend. DS was out of it for a week and DH was sick for about 5 days. I never got it!

The medicine comes in a little tube and is similar to small mini candy icecream toppings. They have a slightly sweet taste and dissolve quickly. I think it is safe for kids, but am not 100% sure. (just checked and they make it for kids) http://www.oscillo.com/
If there is any concern, take some of this with you. I know I will have it with us....just in case.

Hope everyone heals quickly.

As for me, I am 8 days out and still feeling like the world is caving in on me. Too many appointments got scheduled this week, but it's too late now. Washer and dryer will be fixed tomorrow, I hope. So at least I can pack some clean clothes.

 

[tkitty]

Wow..three days and will be on our way!
Here's wishing us all good times, good health, and good weather!

Seems like this is the season for sickness. I'm so scared of getting sick, I keep threatening that I'm going to forcibly remove my coworkers if they come in the office with a cough.

we did the same, the past month has been jammed with appts. but it made the time pass faster! oh yeah and our brand new dryer(6 weeks old) crapped out last week too! oy. once the repair man got here after a week, they realized that it had blown a fuse( i should say exploded a fuse) on our second fuse/panel. i can honestly say that was all hubbys dept- i didnt even know we had a second box! lol

3 more days!!

DS16 slept thru the night good with little coughing and went to school today. His MRI is tomorrow and a haircut after that. Then I work until 5:00 on Thursday and then we drive 1 hour to the hotel at the airport to spend the night and then off we go at 6:10 AM Friday morning.

I'm really feeling the crunch all of the sudden.

Off to work. Happy packing everyone!

Me too-awake at 5AM worrying over every little detail and the "what ifs" are creeping in too.

Wow..three days and will be on our way!
Here's wishing us all good times, good health, and good weather!

I'll toast to that and will add that I hope the crowds are bearable for all of us.

Seems like this is the season for sickness. I'm so scared of getting sick, I keep threatening that I'm going to forcibly remove my coworkers if they come in the office with a cough.

I'm driving my coworkers crazy with the lysol and germx, heck I just insulted the fedex guy cause I didn't want to sign using his stylus-do you know how many people touch that thing every day -nope I'm trying to stay healthy.

And many thanks to the poster who posted about oscillococcinum-I printed my coupon and will be picking that up today as well.

Normally I don't act like this, but I don't want to us to be sick the whole time we are there. Here's wishing healthy trips to everyone

 

[RyeCrimsonMoon]

Single Digit Dance time!

9 days left! Whoo hoo!

There are confirmed cases of swine flu here on campus, normally I could care less and make fun of people who are freaking out too much. But now that I actually don't want to be sick for something I'm chewing on vitamin C all day lol

 

[melliemelo]

The flu is pretty widespread around here too. I can't help but be paranoid about us catching it!! Two of my friends have kids sick with the flu right now. I really, really hope my girls don't get sick before our trip. Or worse, while we are there!! I really just want to stay inside for the next 2-1/2 weeks and avoid everyone!!!

Exactly!!! My coworker is sick (I am hoping it is just fall allergies) and I won't go near him or touch his computer or anything!
I have Airborne in my desk and have been drinking it daily!! Paranoid much!!

We leave on the 5th! You are all convincing me to start being more obsessive about the germs to keep the sicknesses away. We are all feeling well, so far, KNOCK ON WOOD!

Here is my last minute pre-trip report.

Me, too, Gina . . . me, too.

 

[DisneyObsessive]
