I left you with not one, but now three traumatized children at what is supposed to be the Happiest Place on Earth. Luckily, Felony came down from the rafters without the assistance of the fire department. Despite my impending doom with child services, I loved the very end of ITTBAB, but I wont ruin it for any newbies. We exited the hive with three somewhat rattled children, and headed for our mode of vehicular transportation. Im sure we bought back their trust and affection with promises of candy, pins, bonus Disney dollars, and who knows what else. Im sorry, but my brain is full and I dont know if we went back to the hotel, or straight to the outlets. Id like to say that we made a quick trip to the HINB for a WRTA, but nothing is quick with these people. Why cant these people just run in for a quick second? Me, I have to keep moving because if I sit still, I will fall asleep, and then I am a useless grumpy mama! When Sirius and I got married, during all the these two are the greatest people on earth speeches, one of my bridesmaid and college project partners gave the following speech:
Sirius, if you can keep her awake, then shes yours
but if you let her fall asleep, then forget it! Point is, keep moving people! By whatever path, we end up at the outlets so we could save money on pins. Again, we had another losing day battling the Ss: sun, sweat, and souvenirs. We did allow ourselves to enjoy this shopping as we were no longer budget commandos. Since we are now heathens of the budget board, lets go eat at TGIFridays! As we bask in the glory of this nefarious non-budgeted, non peanut butter and jelly meal, we discuss our options. I think the sun has fried my psycho calendar. Hey, I said I have OCDPD, I never said anything about obsessively executing the plans! Mr. To-me-Disney-is-just-another-theme-park agreed that if HINB had rooms available, we would extend our trip by one day. Ooh, dont hurt yourself there, big guy!
A quick trip back to the HINB, secure an extra night, and its time for swimming!
We put on our swimsuits, and now are faced with a tough decision. Im assuming that in the early years of the HINB, the first pool created, accidentally came out looking like a one-eared Mickey. So when they expanded the hotel and created the second pool, its like the original pool was doubled. Did I loose you? Perhaps I can find some pictures on-line. The point is (oh good, youre finally getting to the point) one pool was dubbed the one Mickey ear and the other pool was the two Mickey ear. So our big decision is do we go to the one Mickey ear or the two Mickey ear? Actually, we try both. Mama, with her tired blistered feet was looking for a working hot tub. I guess the HINB didnt get the memo that I was in need of heated relaxation! Our preferred pool is the two Mickey ear, which has attracted an eclectic gathering of folks. We had the typical hooty snootys, a few Harley Hogs, the ball throwing foreign family, a few country come to town folks, the forgot a swim suit so wearing clothes in the pool person(me), and the rest of the Loud Family. Yup, all of us co-mingling having a great time getting high off the fumes from an over-chlorinated pool! Yes sir re, em are some good times! When youre on vacation, you can rub elbows with anyone because youll never see these people again, and no one within your own social circle will ever know. If they only knew that all the juicy details will be reported on the official Disney info net for the world to enjoy! Sirius offered to get me a drink from the pool bar, but I didnt need anything to make me even more exhausted. Id like to take this opportunity to tell you about my lushiness. I dont drink often, maybe two or three times a year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Superbowl. Id like to point out that all of these events involve the in-laws. My DHs grandmother asked DH if I had a drinking problem, because every time she sees me, I am drinking(not drunk, just enjoying a few adult beverages to ease the tension). Without thinking, he said, no, she only drinks at family gatherings. In case I havent mentioned it, we begin our next trip in exactly 8 days with some of the in-laws. The drama has already started, so I can just imagine what juicy scandalous stories Ill be reporting! BOT: Remember the EE FP that we didnt use? Well, I found out from another nice TN lady (you Volunteers are nice people) that EE broke down for about two hours around 2:00. Our FP time was 2:10. She said the FP line was all the way to Dinoland, and everyone was hot and cranky. See, things happen for a reason! Finally its time to drag our pruney bodies away from the luscious well-landscaped two Mickey ear pool back to our scenic backside room.
wonderful 
!!!!
