I didnt even get to meet Teresa, Kathy, Poohgal, etc. ....sad. I was even at Fantasmic on the same night, but couldnt find Teresa's cell number that she'd sent me, I printed out, but lost somewhere in the madness of my luggage/purse...doulbe bleh.....

Hope you guys had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see, we ate at WL on Monday and none of us made Fantasmic, though we as a family were outside it, riding ToT and RnRRC!! Scarded ( ) the family to death at least ToT, but Dh & I loved Rnr! Kris was bummed she couldn't ride it. Sorry to have missed you too, but Teresa and I met a lot of DIS people!

Just thought about it...We stayed in Virginia last night on our way back home. It was at the bottom of VA. Anywhere near you Bear?

Also...on another note...I got my secret handshake while in Disney....I'm

Quoting myself Bear. Just realized you live in Richmond. So I know we were not near you!

Late as usual. Still working on catching up here!

Figuring you were near the middle of the state or over on I81? I am below Bear in the SE corner, but, as usual, DS is heading west to get to Tech (Blacksburg, in the Mountians)to spend the weekend with is girl! It's not like they don't have web cams, cell phones, IM and email constantly, but he still drives out or will drive out every weekend! ACK!! another mom worry! Oops thread hijack. Cuff me, Danno!

Well everyone. My doctor visit yesterday went well. She put me on meds for Bipolar and ADD. She asked me if anyone had ever suspected ADD with me before and all I could do was because most of those that around me enough have only just been learning about it because of my nephew. The meds will take a few days to a few weeks to find out if they are working. I am supposed to take it for a month before we decide if it is or not. If not then she will put me on something else. I am to see her again in two weeks to check on my progress.

[Donald - my hero]

Ooh Ooh me me!! 467 days!!

I agree with that one --- I don't really count the one that is coming up in 90 days (oh my gawd that is too soon to be travel guide for my parents YUCKO)

BUT the best, the biggest & the mostest important one?? 1175 days John & I have already begun our planning for that trip. Gotta be sure we can do all we want since we can only save maybe a maxium of $5,000. Translates to about $130 a month and that is hard sometimes. "specially by then we will be paying off 2 student loans! But what the heck? 25 years is when we said we would go .... so LOOK OUT HERE WE COME!

Glad you were able to get the meds. Hope they only take the few days to work so you won't have to worry about that at the motherland.... (Yes LizzY I said motherland.... I am a very proper person!)

Very good! Finding a good match with doc is sucha hard thing to do. I am still waiting and have begun the early night waking crap (like around 2 - 4) I bet you know what that does to our moods eh? Apparently it is not uncommon to be both bi-polar and ADD some peeps have a dash of OCD added in as well. Most of us usually suffer from anxiety as well. Crap eh? Keep taking those meds even if they make you feel crappy at 1st.

Daughter sees the school therapist since grade 10 (found out she had suffered during early years KWIM?) Well she was reading her e-mail after school and screamed and punched the monitor. EEK dad justa bout had a heart attack. Guess what? Board cuts to $$ he had to leave the school. Now she feels like she doesn't matter.

URGH if the tag fairy only goes by funny comments I am NEVER gonna see her. There brought her myself!

So our plan is this

Sat night we are just exploring our hotel and possibly taking in one parade or fireworks show.

Sun hit mk for the magical beginnings and plan on staying through emh that evening with afternoon break. Dinner at ohana

Mon mgm all day but unsure if we are going to get away for afternoon break that day due to time of fantasmic ressies at mama melrose.

Tue epcot definately taking the little guy back to the hotel that afternoon as we have late hddr ressies.

Wed pirate cruise and then go to animal kingdom and stay for emh. Dinner at Boma.

Thur is no plan day. We may decide to go to blizzard beach or go back to our fav's. We are probably going to want to go back to animal kingdom due to our late arrival that day. We have dinner reserved at marrakesh.

Fri more of the same favs. Dinner reserved at cape may and mnsshp.

Sat sleep in and late breakfast at chef mickeys then probably shop a little before flight home.

I know we have got a lot planned but we are going to try and get in as much as possible because it will take more than a little lovin to get dh to come back before the kids are teens. So I really do want to get as much fun in as possible for the kiddos.

Note on Ohana: Great food but if your kids won't eat what is the norm there, there is no kids meals. They can get it for you, but it will still cost 11.99 or a kids credit...for a cheese burger & fries!!!

Note on Hddr: food is good, DS (10)had a good time cause other boys his age there to hang with and he & Teresa DS got to sit upstairs with scuba & her son. My dd (7) and Teresa's 2 were bored silly and wiggled all over the place. Not even sure she got to eat much. Be warned! also felt a bit rushed there to eat and go.

I was thinking about that also. I'm a pretty light packer but Dh I swear takes 20 pairs of underwear and socks for a 7 day trip. How much is laundry soap and stuff at the hotels or did you just bring a little from home. I was thinking about just getting some tablets to throw in the luggage with some bounce sheets.

I took some powder in a zip lock bag. Didn't need to use it, (hubby did most of the packing so there was a bitof clthes overload) and the clothes did smell better. Esp the dirty ones!

Ahhh sorry for dd, that's got to be sooo hard! Next time you're awake at 2 image your self snuggling with a darling little baby boy Pookums! Imagine smelling his clean hair & baby scented sweetness. (don't think about him screaming his lungs out while waiting for a bottle, in between burps, or when getting his skivvies changed ). Listening to his squeaking while he's drinking (I swear it sounds like he's either imitating a rocking chair or the 3 stooges-- it sounds like "hey-what, hey-what, etc...." in a really high pitched voice-- if he ever says "hey Moe I'm gonna ) Maybe that will help you relax enough to go to sleep!

Stinkerbelle was so exhausted from our drive she promptly fell asleep & slept through the whole HDDR--wasted money! Dh was enjoying the food & got up to go to the bathroom, the waiter took his plate, he made them bring him another.

HI Mary! i want to borrow your lil pookums. he sounds so cute. In fact he sounds just like Em did when she was a newborn. Both kids slept in a cradle on John's side of the bed until they were about 3 months old (no more middle of night feedins) Ok so Ben never did eat at night -- I guess when you weigh 10 lbs at birth and nurse ALL DAY you can go 6 hours without eating again. So back to the cradle, John tied a receiving blanket to one of the rungs and whenever there was a whimper he would just yank on it! Swing swing swing ... back to sleep. Except once she was hungry LOOK out. But we had that pattern down to an art. We use playtex nursers (I was too ill to feed her). Brought it up to bed filled with the correct amount of water. A small tupperware container held the formula powder. SO whilst one of us whipped the diaper offa her, the other made the bottle. She was the monster gobbler. I swear she would down 4ounzes in under 5 minutes you could hear the gulps! One huge burp that would put most truckers to shame and then fall back to sleep. Start to finish, less than 10 minutes! I miss those days -- well not really we still haffa remind her that burping is not a contest nor is it lady like
