WOW Marie!!!!!!!! What an incredible trip you've planned!

Thanks PAS! It's busy, but I've tried to think of things to make it great for everyone! I just hope I don't chicken out on the parasail...I'll try hard to just suck it up and do it!

Hi guys. I haven't check in because I haven't been doing well. My anxiety is so bad that I almost went to the ER the other night. I've lost 6 lbs because I just can't eat. Tonight was my first night at the new branch, and I already know that I CANNOT work in that environment. I have a few things in my favor, however. They didn't tell me this branch had a lot of stairs which I need to use in order to use the bathroom and to pump. I have knee and back injuries and these stairs are challenging for me. I am calling HR tomorrow to tell them they're going to have to accomodate me since they already have my disabilities on file at work.

We are now 5 days out from our trip. Tomorrow I am going to pick up our last minute stuff. Wednesday I'll do laundry and packing. Thursday is pedicures and waxing. Friday and Saturday work. Sunday BON VOYAGEEE!!!

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. I really hope things turn around soon for you. Hopefully, HR will do something quickly.

I really hope the next 5 days go quick for you so that you can get to a Happy Place & have some fun!

Good morning to everyone, especially our sweet Jungle Cruiser who is keeping up with us on her trusty iPad this week - we miss you

Kook: Oh my, your daughter is GORGEOUS! And the only thing missing from that Lapu-Lapu pic besides your lovely face would have been a professional Lapu-scraping spork.

You're very kind and yes, the plain, old, traditional fork had to substitute for a LLSS. BTW, the LL was being consumed at lunch and was followed-up by a Kona Kone chaser. No rides after that fearless combo.

Tomorrow is my single digit dance day

SDD today!!!

I hope everything gets resolved to your satisfaction soon so you can get back to feeling like your ol' self again. I think this trip will be just what the Dr. ordered

Five days to go Dani....you are almost there. I hope your call to HR gets this straightened out. You sound like you have a busy couple of days ahead of you this week! Keep your chin up

 

[jennyjinx3]

Well so DH and I have been talking about May, coming back for SWW, and then NOT coming back for SWW. So I priced out vacations within Canada for us that we could possibly take, and then do the cruise and WDW in November.

Wow!! It is just as if not more expensive to do a trip here! Flight prices within Canada are so expensive, and then accomodation on top. So....I think we are back with WDW...yay! If we are going to spend that kind of money, I want to the kids to have fun and not be stuck in a car a lot of the time.

On another note, my DBIL and DSIL are going to be at the world when we are with their son in Sept. Things are not good with DH's sisters or mom and we are estranged. But DH is good friend with DBIL, and they are hoping to plan a magical meet up for us all when we are there. Not sure how I feel about this. But, I don't want any bad feelings to ruin any part of this trip, so I guess I will just go along with it for the kids sake, they love their cousin. We will see. Family drama....

Have a good day all!

 

[pas130]

I was trying to appear nicer by upping the amount of days to 3 but I'm more in your "one afternoon" camp really.


OMG, rockin' out to the Ramones?! After mine own heart, he is! Give him a huge high-five from me -- one of "those wacky-RCers."

Bree still loving her glasses? Is she all used to them now? My last pair took me a while to get used to. (It was probably just me being awkward though.

Single Digit Dance Eve Dancin' with Pas!

Single digit day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DS is hilarious, like he is meant to be a rockstar!!!!!!!

Bree is doing great with the new specs...she only wears them to color and read though, because we are scared they will break. BTW BOTH big sis' want new specs too...uh, after WDW...I already signed up for 60 hrs of work this week Tuesday night is only a 4hr shift at the ER, and I'm off Wed. so I can go get a pedi!!! But Thurs and Sun I have 24 hr shifts planned. I will most likely get some napping done, but it's been awhile since I've done shifts like that...done with my vent.

Four pages to catch up on so much going on with everyone and pas started a PTR . Dani and pas's trips are getting so close and all this talk about cruises has me on the edge of my seat reading.

Hi Sheila!!! I am in hyperdrive...wishing the next week away!!!!!!!!!

No resort changes here! I'm really happy with my BC decision. almost did the split stay thing, but I figured it'd be more of a hassle with the 2 little ones.

ADRs are going to need some tweaking though due to the decision to try to get some family pics done while we're there.

The ADR tweaking will keep ya from Resort tweaks

I tend to feel a bit claustrophobic with too many ADRs; I'm weird like that.

I have made and cancelled SO many over te last 48 hrs...I figure i we don't do CS, GF cafe, Kona or Trail's End will be just fine...

Thanks PAS! It's busy, but I've tried to think of things to make it great for everyone! I just hope I don't chicken out on the parasail...I'll try hard to just suck it up and do it!

Even if you chicken out, you can get some great pics!!!! I think you'll do fine though Marie

Family drama & WDW...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

On a positive note..WDW is a happy place, and magical place So hope all works out! But I really hope these plans don't cause you trip anxiety...make sure your DH understands how you feel. Perhaps a meet with DH/DBIL and the cousins...no need for drama with his sisters...JMHO

Oh Dani! This trip is exactly what you need. You need to go and not think about home and work and just relax and have fun. Yesterday was my first day back to work, and though I love my job, our whole normal schedule was back in full force, taking kids to camp, going to work, doctor's appointments, etc... It made me realize exactly how relaxed I was on vacation, DH agrees...

Yay for WDW in May!!!! I think we are going to book our 4 night cruise on Friday!!! We are pretty darn excited about it. For now, I am going to book POR RGR for our 1st night, and then AoA for our last 4 nights. Right now, I am going to use our AAA discount...but if military discounts are renewed or there are decent AP rates, we will do AKL CL for the 1st night and the POR RGR for our last 4 nights. Either way, I think it's going to be wonderful!!!

Awwww, family drama...luckily I do not have too much of it...but if you'll let me vent for a moment....I have been super stressed for the past couple of days (and wait for it, you're going to think this is sooooo dumb) but, as you know we got a new kitten, who we absolutely adore!!! However, the issue of getting a pet has always been a point of contention between me and my mom. So stupid! I grew up without pets, because my mom doesn't really like animals and is allergic. We had a couple of hamsters, and ONE time, she brought home a stray cat because she did feel bad for it. That lasted 2 weeks...

Anyways, she has always said that if we got a pet, she doesn't know how she would be able to visit us...because of her allergies...mind you, we had a cat before DD8 was born, and when she was born and we still had the cat, my mom came of course, and dealt with the cat...but it annoys me that she tries to control that issue when she lives 500 miles away and spends a total of about a week (at the most) at our house...we visit her more than she comes here...I know I shouldn't care, but she's my mom and I love her, and I hadn't even told her about the cat, because I didn't want to argue. I did send her an email this morning though...I am such a coward. Isn't this the stupidest thing you've ever heard? Sorry.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Not stupid at all....our mothers still have the power to affect us even when we are adults. I think even when you have a good relationship with them, sometimes they use little things to control situations with us. Just try to stand your ground in a kind way, pets are lovely for children, and you did a wonderful thing by bringing yours home.

Not stupid....and not a coward...you just wanted to tell her without the instant guilt trip....

I like all the 2013 plans...great "rough draft"

Hi guys. I haven't check in because I haven't been doing well. My anxiety is so bad that I almost went to the ER the other night. I've lost 6 lbs because I just can't eat. Tonight was my first night at the new branch, and I already know that I CANNOT work in that environment. I have a few things in my favor, however. They didn't tell me this branch had a lot of stairs which I need to use in order to use the bathroom and to pump. I have knee and back injuries and these stairs are challenging for me. I am calling HR tomorrow to tell them they're going to have to accomodate me since they already have my disabilities on file at work.

We are now 5 days out from our trip. Tomorrow I am going to pick up our last minute stuff. Wednesday I'll do laundry and packing. Thursday is pedicures and waxing. Friday and Saturday work. Sunday BON VOYAGEEE!!!

So sorry to hear the transfer to the new branch is not working out. You certainly do not need the stress all this is causing you emotionally and physically, I hope this can get resolved soon for you.

On a happier note only........5 days to some much need Poly Yime!

Jenny~ I was wondering how long it took you to get a quote from Dreams Unlimited on your cruise....I filled out the form and sent a request on 7/29/12 and the response email indicated someone would be in touch "shortly", but I haven't heard anything...This is why I don't do travel agents...I am far too impatient!!!

 

[Jungle Cruiser]

Good morning Thank you Kook and pas Chemo number 6 is done, that means scans next week and we'll know in 2 weeks if it is working. I am optimistic, but good thoughts are appreciated.

Just checking in to say "hi" and catching up on the thread, more later.

Candice I really do not have any good advice as I had this type of drama with my eldest DS wife because my dog sheds. She insisted if she came over I should put my dog in another room, well I am sorry but this is Bella's home so that was a big No. I think she visited here maybe 3x during their 5 year marriage. It is most difficult when someone tries to dictate to you what to do in your own home.

My DS did come by without her many times but now that he is gone a part of me regrets it at times that I had to be so stubborn about putting Bella in another room as I might have spent more time with him.

The Italian in me is hearing She is your Mother and "Respect" her wishes .......why do Mothers have this power over us ? Good Luck

Thank you guys!!! I love my mom very much, but she is very particular...and I know this. Hey, we can always just go visit her (which we do more of anyways, for various reasons).

And the good thing about going for a visit, is YOU have the power to decde when it's time to go home (for various reasons of course)
