A girl can't get the flu for a couple of days and you change all your plans????

 

[princess&her4princes]

I'm bummed, as well. One of these days......sigh!!

You are more than welcome to whine to us! But your plans will work out, no worries!! And you go girl with the walking club!! WOOHOO! SO proud of you!! I'm joining a walking/running club tomorrow here in town! So looking forward to it!!

Hope you get some down time this weekend to catch your breath!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, I think everyone deserves to be whiny/cranky after a tiring week! I am right there with you! It has not been an easy week at all!

Did you ever get the dining reservations worked out? I hope so!

 

[All7OfUs]

The first week is always the hardest! I think it takes an enormous amount of energy to navigate the 1st week- trying to figure it all out, re-arranging your sleep schedule, undoubtedly missing sleep because of nerves, etc.... Leslie, it WILL get easier as you slide into a routine and get a grasp on a new way of doing things! Hang in there, Sweetie!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Well you've had quite the busy time and most definately deserve a few down days. I hope the weekend does that for you.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just 'beam' down to WDW after weeks like that?

 

[Lady Lallie]

You are entitled to be whiney and/or cranky.
When I read the first part of your post, I thought, UhOh, what happened to her trip? I'm glad you still have most of it taken care of. Those ADRs will fall into place. It will be fine. It was a good idea to walk away from the computer.
Way to go on the walking challenge! Do you have to use a pedometer or is it minutes?

Now, take a deep breath. Look how far you've come - - Look Haaarder! (How's that for Rafiki?)

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
It's almost the end of the work week!!!

No, there is still a trip. I would have gone off the deep end if it had been canceled. I will be honest and say that I keep waiting for something awful to happen to cancel the trip, it's almost like I'm holding my breath.

I've been wearing a pedometer for the challenge so I enter my total steps and then any other activity besides walking you enter the minutes in.

Going back to school is always an adjustment. Even when school starts up again in the Fall for me I am so tired every day for at least the first two weeks. I try to be very easy on myself during that time. Hang in there! It will get better! Think Disney thoughts!!

I'm taking it easy this weekend. Luckily Saturday classes don't start until NEXT week. Yaya!

Awww BIG HUGS!!! Thank goodness it's now the weekend! You can go home relax and call Disney dining or try online again and you will get your ADRs, no doubt about it!

Yes you have been very busy and the first week of school is a huge adjustment, so you are allowed to be TIRED, I know I would be!!

Yes, relaxing is good. I usually get up and out of the house pretty early to run my errands but I'm still in my pj's and it feels good!

Awwwww Leslie....sorry you are having a trying day Or week for that matter You have a lot going on right now and it will work itself out...a lot of new stuff at once
On a lighter note... wow!!!! Do I love your countdown for Marc!!!! What an awesome idea!!! I love it.......I have a Disney desk calendar on my work desk and instead of recycling the tear offs everyday perhaps I will keep them for my own future countdown My niece loves making them When she is going, that is
I think you should do the room only....when I was in Disney last week my friend that was with me is the one with the lapband and she definitely ate on a much smaller scale than me....especially there. The upside for me is that I got to finish all of her food...she ate a lot of fish..scallops...has problems with chicken, steak and pork
I think it is so wonderful you will be there for your birthday!!! I thought about going for mine but I will be hiding under a rock. Far, far away

p.s. love your new book bag

Tracy

Glad you like the countdown! I'm going to try to work on it this weekend, I want to finish it but I have tons of studying to do for my first quiz on Tuesday. Eeek!

We decided to go with the room only. Like your friend, I just like having the ability to order whatever I want and sharing is always good too. I hate seeing good Disney food go to waste. Hehe.

Sorry for all the stress. Hang in there. It's going to be a fantastic birthday... I just know it!

Thank you! I feel much better today. It was just a very long week.

Are you feeling better? I hope Ash can't get to her recital today.

Are you really that surprised I changed plans already?

I'm bummed, as well. One of these days......sigh!!

Hope you get some down time this weekend to catch your breath!

I'm trying really hard, my eating has been horrible this week so hopefully with more activity I'm not gaining.

Oh, I think everyone deserves to be whiny/cranky after a tiring week! I am right there with you! It has not been an easy week at all!

Did you ever get the dining reservations worked out? I hope so!

Yes, the dining reservations finally worked out about 2 hours after I posted my update. I can cross that off my to do list. Phew.

The first week is always the hardest!

It really does. I feel like I've come a long way in just getting through this first week. I'm going to take it easy this weekend...well as easy as I can with my long to do list.

Well you've had quite the busy time and most definately deserve a few down days. I hope the weekend does that for you.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just 'beam' down to WDW after weeks like that?

I totally wish I could. I'd love to go down and have lunch at Le Cellier today. Mmmmm....cream cheese mashed potatoes!

 

[All7OfUs]

Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Re-charge, rest and recover!!

Thank you!! I'm really trying hard to get motivated though, I need to run some errands and I don't want to do them.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Leslie, just keep telling yourself that this too shall pass, and it will.
This is another chapter of your life that you will complete...
When it is over and done, you will be able to look back and see all that you have accomplished!

Hang in there girl!

I too need to get up off the sofa and get on with this day!

But....but....do we have to get up and get motivated??

I know, I want to do this school thing and in the long run it's going to be what I need to do. I just need to get used to the new crazy schedule.

I'm still sitting here.....

 

[Belle_princess]

I'm still sitting here.....

I'm ashamed to say I've been wasting 2.5 hours on the computer. Now, I HAVE to get up and get going. . .don't worry. . .I'll still check in on the DIS and on Facebook!

 

[Happydog]

Well I understand how a new schedule can throw you for a loop, but you will get the hang of it. You just need time to sort it all out. You will.

Glad the trip planning works out -- I think room only is a good choice for this trip and I am glad you went that way, this way you won't feel compelled to "eat by the plan" it gives you more flexibility. And you'll have a fabulous time! We love eating appetizers for dinner! a little of this and a little of that!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm still sitting here.....

I sat around for a bit longer and then went out. I did my errands in record speed though. I just wanted to get home. Just finished watching a movie, "The Young Victoria" with Emily Blunt. Very good by the way. Did dishes, threw in some laundry and now it's time for homework! Yay.

I wasted a long time this morning. I can't believe it's already 5! Yikes. I have a lot to do before Marc gets home from work.

It really did. I think a lot of factors this week just threw me off and made me more tired and cranky than I am normally. Thank goodness I had my trip to think about!

Just keep swimming, LL, just keep swimming!

[TarzansKat]

Repeat after me,

"Asante sanna squash banana..."

Just trying to get to your inner Rafiki.

Trust me, it will work out, and it's okay to rant. I threw an absolute fit via e-mail over something I was going through this week, and it felt good just to get it all out there. Sometimes you have to.

[DreaGirl]

I *so remember those first few weeks of adjusting to a new schedule. It'll work itself out.

I think you've quoted that Rafiki line to me before too.

You are totally right, sometimes you just need to freak/vent/fly off the handle in order to regroup.

Thanks! Your trip is soooooooooooooooo close!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You managed to get more accomplished today than I did. After we got back from the farmers' market, I was a big slug the rest of the day. I am going to regret that come tomorrow. Oh well.
