Something About Nothing.......#4

[dlbbwu]

Good morning Everyone! We are back from the exhausting trip and even played in a local tennis tournament after we got off the plane.
I plan on updating my trip report due to the fact that the PBH computers were either always tied up or something was wrong with DIS...
I don't have to work until Thursday and from then on it will be 12 hours days until after the holiday...(oh boy)..

So hope everyone is doing well and I will try to keep up with the threads. Thanks for all the Pm's, notes, etc..
I know for sure one thing to take on our next trip will be my laptop!!!

Good morning homies

Morning Lawrence!! Whoo-Hoo for you too!!! 6 days left

Yeah, that was the kid, but it was for a semester grade (B- in Calc). Go figure! He still got a B in it this semester, but managed to get his Physics up from a B+ to an A.

Congrats on the awesome grades!!!! Making money and acing AP - summer is starting off pretty good for Matt!!!

hi all!

Hey Rob - did you transfer yet? Are you back in the management position?


Sharon - Big, big, big to you. I am so sorry for your loss. Hoping each day gets a little easier for you and the family.


Getting a little better here. Now Kait is getting it I am able to breathe through my nose most of the day - however i have the cough. Yea, you know.....THE cough. The one that is so hard that it makes you feel like you cracked a rib OR pee in you pants a little

Our little Court turned 9 yesterday Had her party......it was a success Well, except for 3 bee stings to 3 different kids - in the foot One of them was Frank No one was allergic, thank goodness. I could have just bought 3 or 4 bags of waterballons and they all would have been just as happy.

need to get my house back together today and get the mountain of laundry down to a foothill - so I just wanted to jump on and say HEY!!!!!!

Have a great Day, homies!!!

 

[loribell]

I am glad you are feeling a little better but sad our Kait is starting to get it now.
Hurry up & kick that thing!

Woo Hoo Court' party was a success! Hope Frank's foot isn't hurting.

[roseprincess]

St L, hope you feel better soon.
you'll feel great once you hit universal !!

yoo hoo


rose, welcome back!

how did you like universal?
tell us your favorite rides there.
i bet the kids loved it, especially seussland.

did you get lots of pics at uo with the characters w/ your kids?


take your time settling down.
i know how tiring it is to come home from a trip with kids and then start the cooking and cleaning all over again.

looking forward to your trippie.


i'm off to buy cat food and a bd gc.

catch you later homies.

Thanks, Mac!
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had a major headache and we needed to visit grandma at the nursing home yest. Grandma is on Hospice now. She has some kind of cancer, but will not have any treatment done. Doctor says maybe 3 to 6 months to live, could be more or less. Grandma is 92 yrs old. My mom was so worried something was going to happen to grandma while we were on vacay, but nothing happened, so that was good!

Anyways, yes we loved UO and IOA!! THe kids LOVED the Jimmy Neutron ride I thought it was cute, with all the Nick characters showing up in the ride. We also did Shrek- I thought Shrek ride was cute as well. We also did ET ride- very cute. Did Twister- I didn't realize the front row of that(where we were standing) was going to be real dramatic. Chrissy got real scared at the end of that ride-she was crying. Don's baseball cap blew off of him- he didn't even notice until at the end of the ride someone gave his hat back to him. I enjoyed the tornado part b/c the wind cooled me off.
At IOA, we did Spiderman twice. Did do Ripsaw Falls-the water ride. We did go to Suess Landings and only did Cat in the Hat ride- we did Suess Landings 4 yrs ago and spent alot more time there 4 yrs ago.
As of characters, we almost saw Shrek- we got cut off from
the line- the CM or whatever they are called at UO was not very nice and put a rope down and cut us off. I guess it was her job I suppose We did see Dora the Explorer and Chrissy had a pic taken with her. Saw Barney and the show Chrissy has a love affair w/ Barney Chrissy had pic taken w/ Barney. Made her day I almost forgot- we saw Lisa Simpson and had a pic taken with her at UO!
At IOA last Thurs, we saw Captain America( I think that's the character?) and had a pic taken with him. We also saw Cat in the Hat and had a pic with him. Saw more characters at UO/IOA than at any WDW parks this time around, We never did a character meal this time around, so whatever characters showed up is who we saw. Only saw Buzz Lightyear at MK and that was it for characters at Disney.

Things were extremely busy for us before our vacation and I didn't have much time to drop in here. We were at US/IOA from Saturday 6/21 through Friday 6/27. I'll post some pics later and try to do a TR. We met up with Barb and her family on Thursday and rode the Mummy and did Twister.

I'm glad it worked out and you were able to meet up with Barb! Waiting for the trip report!

Okay, to end this thread on a happy note. I was reading the community board (where I get all my relevant news and information from regarding the entire world!!) - where would I be without the DIS?! Anyways, I read the thread telling me that AP scores were now available. Matt's our first to take them, and I had no idea of how or when you got the scores. Anyways, he took two AP's as a sophomore - Calculus AB and Physics B and got 5's on both of them! WOO HOO!!! I'm so excited for him. He thought he'd done really well on the Calculus, but was hoping to get a 3 or possibly a 4 on the Physics. We're excited here, can you tell?!

Wow 5's on both of them! That's really cool. Only a small percentage of kids get 5's. Here's the breakdown of the Physics AP from 2007.

Examination Grade % of Students Earning Grade
5 - Extremely Well Qualified 16.2
4 - Well Qualified 16.9
3 - Qualified 27.2
2 - Possibly Qualified 18.6
1 - No Recommendation 21.1

Good morning Everyone! We are back from the exhausting trip and even played in a local tennis tournament after we got off the plane.

We're usually beat (get it? haha)by the time we get off the plane! Can't imagine playing a tournament.

I don't have to work until Thursday and from then on it will be 12 hours days until after the holiday...(oh boy)..

Lots of free time to write your trip report!

Mornin' Lawrence & everyone else!
Have a fabulous day everyone!

Morning Lori!

Getting a little better here. Now Kait is getting it I am able to breathe through my nose most of the day - however i have the cough. Yea, you know.....THE cough. The one that is so hard that it makes you feel like you cracked a rib OR pee in you pants a little

Hope you are all feeling better soon. It's no fun being sick in the summer.

I can just hear the little ones screaming in pain...did you find a nest?
They never outgrow waterballlons!

Ds is feelin' much better, he will be back to normal by the time we get to the parks. only bad thing is that we have to tak the stitches out while we're at RPR Tuesday night.......good memory to have

Yeah right, glad your wife's a nurse. Have a super great time on vacation!

 

[roseprincess]

Hi to all!

Wish we could have met up with Barb and Allison at UO/IOA, but they didn't notify me or PM me. That's ok tho.

I have to run and pick up Chrissy from the summer school bus now. Trying to get back to regular schedule now. Don is back at work today.

Don't know if I'll be back later today or not.

Have a good day everyone!

well, did you win the match?????

waiting to hear all about your trip.
i'll be in mt carmel again the week after labor day. i know that is not really close to you but thought i would throw that in.....

Ds is feelin' much better, he will be back to normal by the time we get to the parks. only bad thing is that we have to tak the stitches out while we're at RPR Tuesday night.......good memory to have

give him $$ for each stitch your wife takes out.
that always worked for me....

give him 2 bucks for each stitch removed, every time he complains or yells, take back 1 buck.

isn't that how it works??

hope it is not going to hurt him

have a great trip!!

i think they posted some on the thread about meeting up.
you must have missed the memo.

that is how most of us connect here for a meet at uo.

then, by pm exchange phone numbers and work out the details.

glad you loved universal.

are you planning your next trip yet?

try it again the next time you can. it will be bigger with the new ride and potters field in 2009-10

Hello all ..

Well with so much to do it never seems like enough time in the day .

With DS sick yesterday and then off to a bridal shower I went it was an intresting day for my DH . He is still recovering from his tooth being removed and the resluts on his growth are not back yet . I am a little nervous to see what it was but he says it is nothing not to worry .

I have been so busy that I don't even have a few min to get to the computer and when I do it makes me Tired. There has been lots of talk on my Six Flags site about the kid in GA that got killed and well it is a sad thing .

I wonder if anyone will be around when I go to visit WDW or USF/IOA ? We are going dead smack in the middle of summer should be nice and HOT .
Just made our reservation for our hotel in GA that we stay in after most of our drive is done.

Ok gotta run phone is for mommy and then i am off to get some Ice Cream ...Don' t tell the kids When they ask who ate it all it was not me

Good evening homies just got back from the hospital cause I have been so worried for DS 12 and stressing out over everything that what I thought was a sore throat a few days ago turned into feeling tight and choking pressure but before it sounds bad I was able to breathe and swallow but come to find out it was due to all the stress and not taking bloodpressure medication so the doctor told me too go back on meds and gave me some more .
So its a big duh on me and hopefully be good to go sunday when we go to Orlando

do what lori said, take your medicine.
stay healthy!

the night before you leave, have everything done by noon time.
bags packed, lists rechecked, that type of stuff.

order pizza in for dinner, and go to bed real early.
take a shot of jack for going to sleep...

when you leave the next day, you will be relaxed and carefree.

vacation time is family time and enjoy them, relax and have fun.

i know you will have a wonderful time.


and, if you have forgotten something, you can always buy it down in orlando.


St L, all will be fine.
you owe it to your wife and kids to stay healthy for them.

Thanks Mac
DW and DS's are already packing and just about finished and most of the stress came from trying to figure out where we could come up with a little extra money to buy a few odd and ins and DMIL may be the answer cause she wants to give me ds's and dw some money so thats going to take alot of stress off
