The plans are sounding great and WOO HOO for adding days! We're in a two bedroom at AKL too and I'd love to send you, Megan, and Tom a text of the room and view once we get there, to get you even more excited about the space you'll be living in just two weeks after us! (if that's okay with you of course). We'll be booking our dining soon finally got responses from extended family joining us.
Hugs to Megan for the cold. It's hit Evan and I too and it's not fun at all!. I wish you good luck with the interview! I agree that's doing what's best for you and Megan is what's most important.
I would LOVE the pictures!!! I will have to PM my digits to you closer to your trip so you can send them to me....thanks so much!
Poor Megs is still struggling with whatever it is that is going around....thank goodness the school closed down for three days, because I would HATE her missing all this school and have to make up all that work!!!!
I will keep you all posted about the interview on Monday....I am so excited....especially after the week I have been having at school.
Thanks sweetie!!!
right back!!! I just keep seeing so many more positives this direction.....I hope it all falls into place!
I think that you are making the right choice, for next year. I am not you or your family, but I DO know that only you and Tom know what's best for you and your family. It doesn't matter what the other people may or may not think or say of you. You and Tom know what's best for Megan and her well being. Now is the time to make the change, before you get really involved in your current school. Good luck at your interview! You know some good joo joo is coming your way.
Now, as far as the folder for your friends, I think that you should definately put in your ADRs and your park schedules. (what days you're going to which parks) Maybe some places to look for hidden Mickey's? Or some must see and do's? Little things that us DISers know about? Random facts about AKL?
Thanks for the pep talk and the joo joo!!! I will be thinking of that as I go into my interview.....and hopefully when I get to submit my letter of resignation!!!
Positive thinking HAS to work, right????
I love your suggestions....so much that I am going to make sure I include as many of them in my packet as possible. I have started working on it, and when it is complete, I will take pictures and post here!!! Stay tuned!
Well Jen, I'm just going to say you go for it! This sounds exactly like what you need to do...
I understood completely how you felt thinking about your sick little girl waiting on you to come for her and knowing that you couldn't leave.
What a helpless feeling.
Good luck with your interview!
Oh the other stuff?
I vote for O'hana and WCC!
Thanks Anita! It is so nice to hear from people who know and understand what you are going through!!! She was a little tearful on Wednesday night....told me "Daddy did a good job...but NOT as good as Mommy" when I asked how he did. Of course, that made me tearful as well, but we focused on some of the positives about me going in rather than staying home---getting to go to her Valentine's party and field trip in March---and it seemed to help some. This year has just been filled with many "growing pains" and "life lessons" that I don't care too much for!
So then I think about our trip, and let the other stuff go for a little while! Is it summer yet????
Just sitting here playing around on the Dis and I came across your trip report and we have a few things in common. First this is my first year back to full time work as a teacher after working part time or staying at home with my kids. My daugher, who is 8, is Megan and her nickname around the house is Megs!! My family and I are headed to the world in June and we are celebrating our 12th anniversary!! I have my kids in a private Christian school where I now teach! Too funny! I'll have to keep checking in here.
OH MY GOSH!!!! Please keep coming back! I can't believe how much we have in common! Happy Anniversary to you too...in advance! We have been to WDW in June before, and really enjoyed ourselves! Feel free to share away about your trip, your family, your first year back teaching.....I know we will definitely be able to "understand" what the other one is going through! So glad for you that you get to teach at the same school with your kiddos....I hope that is where I will be next year with my Megs too! Have you experienced any cons about working at the same place with them?
You present such a good case for buying a huge screen TV. I have never been interested in one, but now that you bring up the fact that I could see Disney resorts in a more life-sized way....
Yeah - not gonna happen, but it's something to shoot for some day.
After new tub.
New flooring.
New dryer.
New stove.
New roof.
By the time I get to have a big screen, there may several new Disney resorts to watch on it.
A sleep-in morning on the trip will be a nice thing. We rarely do that, but whenever we do, it really is nice just to let everyone wake up on their own time and be in a good mood, have a relaxing breakfast, and just regroup.
Your July plans are so close to my heart, because I really wanted to go toward the end of July this year. Your plans could have been mine, but we pretty much had to go during the 4th due to people's schedules. If I had the money, I'd pack Brooklynn up, and she and I would go back for a few days at the end of July and first of August.
You made me laugh out loud!!!
If we lived closer, I would have you over to join in the viewing party...in our pj's of course! (It just makes it so much more enjoyable---to curl up on the couch with a cozy blanket, and dream about all those beautiful resorts!)
Tom's TV was a gift to himself and his buddies! A couple of years ago when we finished out the basement for their "man cave," I was told we couldn't have this big, finished basement and NOT a great TV for them to watch all their sporting events on!!!
I think his lower lip was even pouted out a little when he said it!
I am sure our sleep-in will be GLORIOUS!!! I will make sure to write quite ALOT about it!
I very selfishly wish you were going later in the month too, but I know you are going to have a wonderful time when you are down there!!! I am sure Brooklynn wouldn't mind being kidnapped......
***twilight zone music***
Isn't that WEIRD!?!?!?! SUCH a small world after all!!!
Hey Jen!!!
You know what I think you are doing the right thing, you have to put your family first no matter what!! And trust that no matter what it will all work out for the best!!!! It's not easy to come to that point and the fact that you have is awesome!!!
OOOH Love that you get to add more days!! More time at Disney is always a plus WOOT WOOT!!!
Thanks sweetie!!!
You have such a way with words...you really have made me feel so much better, more confident about my feelings! Thanks so much!!!! WOOT WOOT indeed!
I think it is because I would MUCH rather plan for Disney instead!
