~Snowbird Chat 2~

So envious of those going on trips soon! Congrats to you all! I hope everyone who's going all enjoy themselves! Andrea, I agree with Disney Mommy 3, what a waste of sleep. What a let down.

I'm pretty sure these past two weeks are not two of my best. After finally getting over Pink Eye, I got an ear infection and this morning, was heading to get gas and got hit. I'm fine (sore, but fine!) but it appears my car is a complete write off. The airbags went off, car frame is dented and door is gone. Luckily my charges weren't in the car (I was going very early this morning and didn't start for another few hours) as one car seat was wrecked and the other one shifted due to impact.

What a few past weeks! Ah well, it can only go up from here, right?

Laura!!!Bless your heart!!! I hate that for you!! hopefully you will get a new car soon,...and so thankful your little munchkins weren't in there with you!!!
And an ear infection? you need to sleep all weekend!!!

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

Laura - so glad you are okay and so glad your little ones weren't in the car with you. Hoping everything gets taken care of quickly.

Thank you - I really appreciate it! I've got to admit, the fact that my charges weren't in the car and how lucky I was was one of the first things that crossed my mind when I got hit. He hit the passenger door straight on, and when the air bags went off (there's a noise I never want to hear again!), it freaked me out!

The ear infection definitely doesn't help, at all! Luckily, I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, so I was able to have it checked out and also got checked to see if I had been hurt (knock on wood, I haven't!). My employers sent me home yesterday and my mom made me have a nap, and I'm just heading off to bed now!

Laura - so glad you are okay and so glad your little ones weren't in the car with you. Hoping everything gets taken care of quickly.

Thank you! I'm very glad too that my charges weren't there in my car. *PHEW* The car is currently at the dealership repair shop and the latest I should find out about it is Tuesday.

Wow Laura- that stinks!!!
You've had it rough - you need a little pixie dustixie dustixie dust:

I hope things get better for you soon!

I'm rather exhausted tonight. We had a late night at Paige's dance competition last night - they did GREAT!!! It was so cute!

Then today I spent the day at the neighbors for the garage sale. One more day tomorrow and then I will rest and update my TR.


Laptop is about out of battery, so I'm going to bed!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy Saturday all.... hope everyone is having a great weekend.... I just realized that 3 weeks from right now I will be on the plane heading to Disney... can't wait!!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

wendy, wendy,...when I grow up I want to go to Disney as often as you do! Really, 3 or 4 times a year would be perfect for me!!!

We are having a good weekend,..some friends are about to come over for burgers/hot dogs, kids might swim a little if they are brave enough--the water is still pretty cold the deeper you go!!! Tuesday is my dd's ballet recital,...so tomorrow afternoon, Mon night and Tues night are dance,dance, dance!!
Thur is my ds12's bd...TEENAGER #2!!! I can't believe it!

Working on learning my new camera this weekend so I can get a few good shots of recital...I hope!!! It's a lot to learn!!
Happy Cinco de Mayo snowbirds!

I am lucky that I have a husband that doesn't mind if I go, a job that allows me the flexibility and family members who love to go as much as I do... this should be... last trip for a while as we will be losing Maggies cast discount as she is working full time here now...

Hello everyone! I haven't been able to get on the DIS lately....it's been so busy around here!

Talking about the online dining system....it has not been working on the 180 day mark since January. For some reason, it won't recognize reservation numbers, so you will have to call at 7am EST to make ressies on your 180 day mark. It's super annoying! However, about a week after my 180 days, the system DID recognize my reservation number. So weird.

I only have a few days left, so I need to get my ducks in a row!!!

Thanks ladies! I'm working on my pics now. Could take awhile, I might have taken a few.....

Hello Snowbirds!

Once again, I am SO far behind! I can't believe Shelly has gone on her trip and come back again already! We had family (DH's aunt and uncle) come visit and did some traveling with them. It was a nice visit but now I am so far behind on everything!

Laura, I'm so glad you're OK! Yikes!

So many Snowbird WDW trips coming up! How exciting! We did end up buying APs for DLP when we went last month, so we need to plan a return trip. Not sure that that will happen before July at the earliest, though.

Has anyone heard from Sarah lately? Hope all is well with her. I'd like to pick her brain about Baltic cruising. Has anyone else done one?

I hope everyone's home improvement projects are going smoothly. And happy Disney planning!

Yes, they were. Two times I saw CM's turning people away telling them that their FP had expired. And once we saw a group of people waiting because they had come to the FP line too soon - the CM had them standing off to the side until their time came due.
