Please pass the Prozac...............

[WannabeAriel]

I know how addicting tr's can be!

Seriously! Someone needs to write a guidebook for TR's!!! It needs to include explanations for all sorts of things like Dude, Peeps, Flat Winkers, Flat Jordan, Plankton, IpDips... I'm sure I'll have more if I just keep reading!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I had no idea that your MIL lives with you....do you keep her in the basement or something? Couldn't you just take a Flat Grammy instead? But seriously that's nice of you to include her.....even nicer for the TR

Yep, she lives in the basement........no she isn't a troll.

Since most of you already know a little about me, I thought I'd introduce my mil first.

First, I do need to say that I love my mil. She is a great person and loves her family. She's just a little different. Boy do I have stories about her! Sometimes she doesn't have the social skills one would expect a 65 yr old woman to have and she's a serious hyper chondriac. But, what will give you most of your laughs will probably be her wardrobe choices...... She's a What not to Wear episode waiting to happen!

We took her on our first ever disney trip to Disneyland 4 years ago. That involved 20 hours in a mini van. About 2 hours into the trip we heard some snoring...........when I turned around this is what I saw,

Notice the chocolate milk mustache??

She spent most of the trip down with her headphones on singing along LOUDLY to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Good times.

I know she is going to be really excited when she finds out about the trip. And despite my worries, I am glad we can take her. Someone may need to remind me that on day 4 or 5!

up next.......the rest of the cast

Oh My Goodness! That is the best picture of your MIL. I can't stop laughing.

They always take pics... now she has a whole scapbook of mom in different outfits, sleeping, for each holiday You MIL pic reminded me of that!

We have a trip planned with my mom and brother/sil and their kids next year Prozac sounds like a good plan

At least if your Prozac doesn't kick in in time there's always alcohol just sayin.....

I told you Prozac takes 4-6 weeks to really work, you need something more immediate.

Immediate results? one word, XANAX! You'll have a terrific trip!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

OMG! Your description and that picture nearly made me pee my pants!!!

I should tell you, we've been to WDW 3 time with the in-laws. Our January trip is the first trip we're taking without them!! I'm a little nervous!! DH kinda forgets from time to time that he's the Dad and not a kid. Complete with the occasional temper tantrum, no joke!! MIL is kind of my right hand women!! She helps me with the kiddos and her son! I think I my need some prozac too! Definitely some xanax!!

[Lady Lallie]

I need Prozac to go visit my MIL, I shudder to think what I would need for a Disney Vacation with her.

You are a brave brave woman! Or crazy....

I can't wait to read more!!

 

[winkers]

Do you think MIL will sing along with all the Disney songs at the World???

I hadn't even thought of that!! She sings along with anything she knows the words or tune to!!

Immediate results? one word, XANAX! You'll have a terrific trip!

I've already done one trip doped up, and it wasn't pretty.

OMG! Your description and that picture nearly made me pee my pants!!!

It is priceless..........her son's all thought it was funny when I sent it to them that year for christmas....

OMG!!!!! That is too I have tears in my eyes. The chocolate milk mustache is priceless.

Luckily, she's a good sport, because my kids tease her about that picture all the time!

I'm in.

Hi!

I think I'm a little more crazy than brave.

 

[winkers]

For those of you who are new to my craziness, I'm winkers......aka........Che'rie. Winkers is a name that my Mom and younger siblings started calling me when I was about 13. Why you ask? Good question, I don't even know.

I'm a 34 yr old stay at home mom to 4 great kids. I always loved disney movies and dreamed of going to disneyland as a kid. But my dad's idea of a vacation was taking mom to Las Vegas and leaving the kids behind. Que violin.

Dh and I took our kids to Disneyland 4 years ago.........that was the 20 hour car trip being seranaded by snoring and the MoTab's.......(mormon tabernacle choir).

The second I walked through the gates I was sold. I suddenly turned back into an 8 yr old little girl. I was ready to move in. I think our last day there involved my dh .........me......and kicking and screaming.

So, the next year we decided to give Disney World a try. Just the two of us. It was our honeymoon 13 years late. On our first day there I knew I had to take the kids.

The next spring we took them on our once in a lifetime trip.........I spent the first half in horrible pain and the last half in a wheelchair doped up on pain meds. I even got a tour of Orlando in the taxi from Hades in an attempt to find a dentist. Good times.

Since I'm an equal opprotunity bad picture poster......here's me at the end of that trip..........

Last year D.Jay and I were supposed to go to England......my dream vacation......but I decided instead to re-do disneyworld minus the dentist and pain. We had a great time. Here's me without pain killers.....

I know...not much difference!

up next......meet the dh...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I'm here!!! I can't believe I didn't find this thing until 3 pages in! BAD DISSER!!

You had me GASPING at the thought of bringing the MIL. DH is taking a nap. I almost woke him up. I scrolled along and saw the post introducing said MIL and I busted out laughing and scared the crud outta him!! That was too funny. Love the chocolate milk moustache.

I can't wait until February. I am so glad and feel so lucky that we get to go again. I can't believe Evan is already almost ready to graduate. Time just fly's by doesn't it??

 

[pooh'smate]

You sure are a brave women. I have no need to worry about my mil coming to Disney as they barely come and visit us. I do want to take my mom some day but she is a big help with dd and my dh and her get along great.

 

[reelmom]

I am so in! This should be the most entertaining TR ever. I can tell you some stories about traveling with in laws but I won't. I will let you figure it out for yourself.
Seriously, I think it is great that you want to include her. It will mean a lot to her and your family. And us..it makes for some good reading.

OK, I jinxed myself. I got a call from my MIL today. She said she and FIL have decided to join us at Disney this Christmas. WHAT? How can you decide when you weren't even invited! After I calmed down somewhat, I told DH to politely tell them that they are welcome to come but we are sticking to the plan that has been in place for months. What joy!
