HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISSY AND MATT

Strange thing is that my DD is Chrissy and her new Boy friend is Matt ...

Ok so I am busy all day so far and have just sat for two min. A dear friends hubby just had a major Heart attack so we are praying for him. So far the news isn't as bad as it could have been but he will need more testing and have to say the weekend in the hospital. They need a .

This and the fact I am changing sheets and curtains in the girls room and the phone is ringing for the bridal shower and well AHHH . Just too much at once . We need it NOT TO rain all day on Saturday . The kids are so dissapointed that the SF park is going to open and it may rain all day . the weather is 50 /50 right now.

Got to go finish the rooms and the so I can scrapbook maybe later if I ever got two min alone ..

BBL

oh, so is the bridal shower for your chrissy and her matt?

WOW...have you guys seen the threads on the other boards about the stroller rental fee? I don't have any kids but have to admit Disney was wrong to increase the rental for a double stroller to $31.00 day! Maybe they are finally seeing Disney for what it really is.

that is too much money......
how can families afford disney trips?

my sons never went to wdw or UO until they could walk all day without whining and crying and not needing any naps.

and be on voice control.......

tricia, get the GAC at guest services and the free wheel chair from the resort for the park needs on joshua. being overtired can over stimulate him and be a trigger factor.

I'm not too skeeered about turning 40 but my oldest baby turns 13 this month and THAT scares me! How did my baby get to be a teenager?
Anyone have any helpful advice on how to accept this a little easier?
I'm sure it will be easier with the other kids but....wow....a teenager!

alright - now that just makes my cake look like crud

madam chairman, i would like to nominate outlander as the resident cake baker...............do i have a second?

sorry tracie but her cakes are kewl...............and so are yours

Thanks! We could combine Nut and Tude, but that would be NUDE and I'm just too modest and embarrassed. We'll keep thinking.



Keeshond and Schipperke! I really like the Spitz breeds, but I don't even spend time grooming myself. During shedding seasons we'd just get buried in hair and suffocate.
I've been volunteering with rescue ever since.

i see your point of being called nude. it would be nicknamed in no time flat to miss nudie or miss april or miss may and then you would get all type of offers to pose in pictures and make a lot of money and then we would never see you again.

so to keep you here, scratch nude as a nickname.

that is wonderful to volunteer at the shelter.
we need more people willing to do that. there is a no kill animal stray center not too far from me that i support.

piece of cake, you only have one turning to teen years......hahahaha

i had 3 boys all at once in that bracket. i have not been my self ever since.
i take that back, when they were little it was worse.

i was on speed dial with the police, er services and fire department.
and the pizza place in town


i would rather turn 40 five times before going thru littles again.
well, it did keep me thin so it had it's good points .......


30 is what killed me.
40 is a snap......

I can get a GAC for his seizures? And what wheel chairs at the resorts? We'll be at All Star Movies. We're bottom of the barrel guests. I didn't think we get any special stuff.

just checking to see if everyone really reads all my crap....

Pfft. Mine are 21 and 19. How in the world are they still not in nursery school!!!???

no, no, no damo...that cannot be.

i can remember when they were in high school.........and before.......



and when they grow up they still stay at home.

 

[macraven]

i'm sending you an email about it.
it would take up too much space here on the thread.


i have gotten the gac for self and son many times before.
you can also do the special assistance card at universal.

 

[outlander]

piece of cake, you only have one turning to teen years......hahahaha

I only have one turning 13 THIS year. The next one is only 15mos behind!
then in a couple of years, the next
then the next.
They're all gonna hit the teens before I hit 4-0!

skeeeeered I am. My oldest hitting the mark just means they are all right behind.

See the fear in my eyes?!

You should definitely look into it. I haven't stayed at All Stars but I am sure they will accomodate you. It would be insane for you to have to rent a stroller.

Pffft. I'm 41. Look in my signature and check out the ages of my children. Let's skip the mom of a teen math, shall we?

I really wish I had a little one still around, so you are lucky!!!!!!

 

[outlander]

I'm not scared of my age...or my age when they're teens. I'm just plain scared of teens!
My babies are going to be teens. That seems crazy.

 

[outlander]

So I am cleaning out the closets and I have been holding onto an emboidered Disney princess jacket that one of my daughters outgrew.....and I was wondering if anyone knew a Princess Erin that would fit into a size 6? I would love for this to go to a deserving little princess if anyone knows of one.

i hear you. teens think there is strength in numbers.
my boys are close in age.
had 3 of them within 4 years and 7 months.


my neighbor had 4 kids within 9 years.
she was 50 years old when the youngest started kindegaraten last year.


if you have all boys, wait till you see what car insurance will jump to when all of them are on it.....
that scared me more than anything....

you kill me.....

when they are teens and don't drive, you get to haul everyone and their friends to all the events, practices, etc.

homie, have another sip of wine.
you will pass that feeling in about an hour from now......

you are NOT bottom of the barrel guests. here is an idea. just my wack job idea because i had dunkins this afternoon and filled the brain up.
for their birthdays and whatever, instead of money or if folks dont know what to get them, how about WDW gift cards/ mickey money? that way, you could say, we go into ONE SHOP , and ONE shop only where you can spend your dollars? that way, they can have a treat while there.
and I bet they would be really accomadaint about a wheelchair or other means of transport of transport. have the doc do a letter saying special needs and maybe there is a discount even on getting around. just a couple of thoughts.

what do the beatles have to do with it?

Well that was a pretty interesting song.

As long as that's the only place he checks for her panties, I think he will be OK with Mr. Mac!

Good night homies going to hit the bed early feeling really really bad tonight and to be honest hurting all over and don't know whats going on with me

Hope you are feeling better today.

You're just itching to be tagged with crabs...ain'tcha??? (is 4 the limit?)[/SIZE]

I think so too!

I would like to request TWO maps of each park please...will pay ya for shipping when I see you in July

Thanks

Will do & I don’t need money for shipping. Just remind me later, k?

Okay...before I turn in....

I'd like to welcome all the noobies
Please do not feel insulted I have not addressed you each by name.....

To all you other regular/original redheads out there.....

It would seem my schedule does NOT permit me to keep up anymore....I can read, but simply cannot reply to each person/post like before. Please do not be offended if I don't say "hi" or address you personally, but it just may not happen. For that...I'm sorry.

For those who don't know, I work 6 days a week between 2 jobs. My 9 yr old is very active in soccer (pretty much year round) and karate. He has one or the other every night...only free day is Sunday (but, that is my laundry, cleanin' up, runnin' around, spend time w/ family and food shoppin' day..... )

So, I am not being rude, I am just very short on time...and with spring finally starting to peek around the corner....that means yardwork....and lots of it. Need to get it ALL done before our vacation at the end of June.

So, if you need me, best PM or email....as, I may not catch it on the thread

Jodie....I'll take a 'permanent' "Free Pass" thingy now

Again...welcome to all our new friends....

Brab

I really miss you. Of course I should not be here as much as I am.

Yep then it didn't rain

Yes you do - ours are posted .... have you seen them? If not, I'll post a link to them for everyone to enjoy?

I want to see them. Please do post the link.

how long do you usually stay. If I plan it right (and don't change jobs) I will have 2 weeks of vacation. If I do CA in like Aug., I should hopefully be able to take another week in Oct. Or I can use my 2nd week from this year earlier next year (Feb/March should be pretty light crowd-wise, hopefully. I'll ask the DL board later). Anywho, I'll cross that bridge after Sept, lol.

We have been in June before and the evenings were almost to cool to go to the pool. Just an fyi so you can check on the temps and see if it is warm enough for you.

Morning folks!

Yeah, what Barb said? In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been able to keep up with responding to everyone either. I've tried. I read everything, but I can do that screen by screen a little here and there. I can't sit here for very long at a time. The little guy just won't let me and I don't blame him. He can entertain himself for awhile, but then he needs a playmate and... well... I'm the only game in town.

I haven't been able to relax much lately and the next few weeks will be super crazy. In a couple of weeks, Brad will be tied up with the RV show. I've got to get the website updated and other PITA stuff like that.

I'll be around. I'll still check in. I'm not going away. I'll always be a Proud Redhead!

I miss you too! But I totally understand. Always remember we are here for you.

Lori - ur killing me with the cookies, my bowl of special K doesn't seem so appealing now

I am putting a halt to the cookies. I was ruining to many diets!

You mean for the EEG? Nope. The rules/prep for this test are gonna be SO much fun. NO sugar or caffeine for 24 hours prior... plus half a nights sleep... yeah, really looking forward to it.

NOT!!!

Poor little guy!

I must've been tired. I went to sleep at 10pm last night and didn't get up until 8am!

You are working way to hard.

i heard from homie alison.


this is part of the email i want to share with you.






" We are still planning our trip for June and we are now trying to sell my car and looking for a new one. I drive a Trailblazer and gas is kicking my butt! Tell everyone that we’re all fine and I miss them! As the Terminator said, “I’ll be back.”



Thanks for checking on me! It makes me feel loved!



Alison"



she is busy with life and will be back when she can.

just wanted to give everyone a heads up as many have asked about her being MIA.






and about that coffee.........i drink coffee from the time i get up to the time i go to bed.......

Did you give her a lashing for us for making us worry? Glad you were able to get a hold of her.

Ok so I am busy all day so far and have just sat for two min. A dear friends hubby just had a major Heart attack so we are praying for him. So far the news isn't as bad as it could have been but he will need more testing and have to say the weekend in the hospital. They need a .

Let us know how he is doing.

WOW...have you guys seen the threads on the other boards about the stroller rental fee? I don't have any kids but have to admit Disney was wrong to increase the rental for a double stroller to $31.00 day! Maybe they are finally seeing Disney for what it really is.

That is ridiculous! So glad Ally doesn’t need one anymore.

I haven't seen any of the stroller threads, but I did see the notice at the top of the boards and read it.

Here is my take. Disney has not thought this one through. Parents that don't want to shell out $31 for a stroller won't. BUT, if they wind up with tired and pissy kids earlier, they'll leave earlier. They stand to make a heck of a lot more off the people if they stay. JMO

I'm between a rock and a hard place as far as the double stroller goes. Joshua's condition now means that we have approach touring the parks completely differently. Getting too tired lowers his seizure threshold. I'm going to be one of *those* parents pushing an older child around in a "stroller" (calling those huge formed plastic carts "strollers" is ridiculous, but whatever). Do I have $31 per day to toss away on a stroller rental? Heck no. We are on a shoestring budget this time. What that means is, we'll rent the damn stroller because we have no choice, but we won't set foot in a souvenir shop. Those rules will be firmly planted in the boys heads before we ever get to the parks. We probably would have spent more than $31 in a souvenir shop for something that we could keep and bring home, but since we've got to toss that money away on the stroller we won't be spending a dime more on anything else.

But maybe that's just me.

I think you are right. They may also be loosing money on stroller rentals because more people will be bringing them from home.

I'm not too skeeered about turning 40 but my oldest baby turns 13 this month and THAT scares me! How did my baby get to be a teenager?
Anyone have any helpful advice on how to accept this a little easier?
I'm sure it will be easier with the other kids but....wow....a teenager!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My oldest is 24! Oh and my youngest is 9!

Wish I could tell you it is going to get easier but I don’t want to lie to you.

I can get a GAC for his seizures? And what wheel chairs at the resorts? We'll be at All Star Movies. We're bottom of the barrel guests. I didn't think we get any special stuff.

Yes you can & I agree that you should. Also I believe all the resorts have some free wheelchairs that you can check out for free for the duration of your trip, just like they have lifejackets to be checked our. I don’t know if you call and request one or if it is first come first serve.

I only have one turning 13 THIS year. The next one is only 15mos behind!
then in a couple of years, the next
then the next.
They're all gonna hit the teens before I hit 4-0!

skeeeeered I am. My oldest hitting the mark just means they are all right behind.

See the fear in my eyes?!

4 teenagers at one time! Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
