when it comes around to next spring, i'll book an exclusive tour and get the group together.
i'll save names as the months pass by. i'll pm people when the time comes to where i need to find out who is in for the rip exclusive tour.

How much was the tour this year? Just want to start working out the budget.

Thanks for the flight and baggage story. Yet another reason to avoid flying!

I would have loved to see you in all your layers with shoes hanging out of your pocket.

Rose it is ok to vent . I would love to vent right now but I just can't even begin to tell you how upset I am . My Dh and I are having a very hard time right now and well the little one's schooling is on my mind as well . I am very stressed and sick. I just really want to go sit on a beach alone and drink for a few days .

Ok gotta run ,clean up the house and get things in a little order.

Rose, Dave and Coastermom, you vent all you want to! Here's a shoulder to lean/cry on and a sympathetic hug. Mary, it's easy to get overwhelmed when you feel sick. Maybe you can lock the door, take a bubble bath, and listen to cathartic music. (((((HUGS)))))

Yes they are Lori....killer with no sleep....and I also agree on the airlines....I am still waiting on Southwest to post cost past March 6. I guess I am at their mercy ...for a 14 hour drive is more of a killer for me than no sleep. I told myself I would never drive again, but if gas prices continue to fall (it is $2.87 per gallon here), I might reconsider over a flight cost.

I take it you hate long drives? We actually prefer REALLY long drives over flying anyday. DH and I both find airports very stressful (especially with kids 7 and 2), but we find long drives very fun and relaxing. It's the only time we get to sit next to each other for 10-14 hours straight and talk to each other, cracking jokes, share lots of one-on-one time. We take turns driving and massage each others forearms and neck so our muscles don't get too tense. And the kids are very happy with books and the portable DVD player. Sigh.... I want a trip now!

 

[keishashadow]

ma's flu shot done, open house crossed off (good reports ), pulling out southwest info so i can get in the A line @ 6:45 am tomorrow....

not all packed yet though...almost

sorry to hear of the group's woes hang in there all

 

[roseprincess]

Mac - sorry to hear about the baggage woes
Those baggage rules are so stupid
I can't remember if you said you flew United? We flew USA 3000 and didn't have the luggage weight problem, but USA 3000 may not have enforced that rule until sometime after our trip, I don't know
United makes alot of money to begin with and have a ton of employees. I only like their commercials on TV


Janet- have a great trip!!

Listened to some big band music on AOL tonight. Matthew needed to listen to some big band music, for his music merit badge he is trying for, for Boy Scouts
Might go to this pizza taste test thing at my base jr. high tomorrow night with Matthew. He really wants to do this pizza tasting thing. It's our town Jaycees that is sponsoring it. I have to see how I feel tomorrow night, if I'm up to going or not.


Going to watch ER now.

Have a good evening everyone

My "real" reason I hate long drives is cause I do ALL the driving. I hate when I get sleepy and I can't keep my eyes open and say to the DW...your turn...and she is sound asleep. I go to wake her and she drives for like 30 min and says, I'm tired. I am thinking, I haven't had a chance to take a nap...
So back behind the wheel I go. Now some of you may say it is my responsibility to do all the driving, and to some point I may agree. I don't agree with trying to drive straight through when one is tired. Both my kids have their own portable DVD, and they both have gameboy's, etc. To me it is just a long drive....especially back home. I think going down there I am very excited and in a hurry, but coming back...

Another 12 hour day behind me...one more to go

Off to bed and try again tomorrow

Well Dave I do not agree that the driving should be all up to you. It shoudl be shared.

We are 1380 miles from Orlando. It took us 20 hours last time to drive it. We left home at 9:00 am with me driving, stopped in Little Rock to gas up (5 hours later) and grab lunch to eat in the car and dh took over the driving, stopped again about an hour outside of Atlanta for gas (another 5 hours), grabbed dinner to eat in the car and I took back over the driving, then when the next time to stop for gas came up I was still not tired and we were already across the Florida state line so I let dh continue to sleep.

I loved pulling in to the gates at Disney as the sun was coming up. I had started to get a little tired about the last 45 minutes but my son woke up and kept me alert. It was such an easy drive we will probably never fly again. In fact we even headed on to the MK for our breakfast adr at CP and stayed in the park until about noon.

Morning all--ITS FRIDAY already!!Another week flew-by..

Have a great day all!!

 

[macraven]

good morning homies....

i set a new record........it's a big hooray for me probably no biggie to youse.
i went to sleep at 9 last night and didn't wake up until 9:30 this morning.
would have been here right away but had to get some coffee in me before the fingers and eyes would coordinate on the keyboard.......


hey dave, i feel your pain about the driving.
i do all the driving when mr mac and i go anywhere.
some of the trips are long, some are short just around my area.

each year we do a couple of long trips for battlesites from rev and civil wars.
driving from our house to VA or to vicksburg or to niagra falls, canada have been long hauls for me. we don't stop for any over nights, drive straight thru.

he is my navigator. he takes his naps along the way while i drive.

i have driven to florida 3 times and never again.
21 hours maybe 22 straight driving wipes me out big time.
it takes me a day to recover from it.

i only fly to florida now.

next time you do that long haul to the motherland, pretend you are asleep when mrs dave says she is tired..........
maybe that will work


this week has gone by fast for me.
still have to unpack what is on our dining room table....

catch you homies later, off soon for errands

 

[ky07]

[macraven]

[roseprincess]

HI homies-
Did some more errands this morning.
It's too chilly out for me

Looked up the website for this pizza tasting thing tonight and found out it's canceled Oh well, saves me money and we have a busy weekend this weekend. Actually Matthew has a busy weekend ahead. He will be bummed that this event got canceled.


Hi to all!

 

[macraven]

rose, it is always cold in chicagoland............

we have had snow in the springtime.
the fall ain't much better.........


remember, we only have two seasons up here.
winter and the 4th of july

 

[ky07]

like the picture in your siggie homie.

have you got all settled in with your new home?

Thanks Mac
We are settled in but still unpacking boxes

 

[roseprincess]

I know,mac, I know(about the weather)

We did have some good sunshiny(sp) days here when you were on vacay
The seasons change so fast here, as I already know for many yrs.
I am always a month behind in my head, as of weather. I probably don't make
sense to anyone about that.

I don't like the "s" and "c"' words (snow and cold).
Give me 75 degrees and sunny most of the time!


Change of subject, for all youse homies, don't forget Sweetest Day tomorrow!

Celebrate with your sweetie (spouses, SO's, your children)
The Hallmark holiday is not printed on calendars usually.

Have a good day everyone

 

[circelli]

Hi there everyone !!
I did not know tomorrow was sweeties day!! I am going to the casino with DH all day NO KIDS!!
Try to stay warm and stay safe!!

 

[RAPstar]

The weather here has been pretty nice. We had a touch of rain earlier in the week, but not much and it's pretty much stopped. Today was overcast, but it wasn't too hot and not too cold. Wish it would stay that way.

 

[macraven]

man, can i waste a day or what...............

crap still on my dining room today.
as scarlet would say, there's always tomorrow.......


i act like i am still on vacation time......

 

[macraven]

last on last night and first today?????

 

[coastermom]

hello all ...

Felling a little better today and well things with DH are getting better too . I was really down this week as with not feeling well and having a disagreement with DH it made me feel really ..well bad.


Saturday again no soccer today DD hurt her foot on Thursday and now we are hopeful it will heal before Friday because we are off to the Corn maze in Lancaster PA. Then Next saturday is HERSHEY ... Yummy candy can't wait .

Not much going on today busy week though ahead .. Mon , Tues and Wed there are always the chances to work . Wed is Bowling practice and well Thursday the Alarm man is is gonna be here to upgrade my system. Friday we have a meeting with DS teacher . We have this new Leveled reading program that well isn't really so great . He left grade 1 reading at a level G so that is about grade level . He goes to grade 2 and now he is behind reading a level F .. Now you tell me how he dropped a level ?? I think he is reading better then ever . It is amazing though DH who is a teacher said sometimes teachers like to drop a child then when the child "jumps" a level or two the teacher looks good. Can you even wonder why a teacher would do this to a child?? AHHH So this is my week ahead I just can't wait till a weekend or a week with nothing to do .

I am getting worried about not having any shopping started yet. Has anyone started holiday shopping yet? I am usually almost done by now but this year I don't seem to have the get up and go shopping thing in me. Now you all know i must really be ...


Hope everyone is doing well .. BBL
