and don't expect their parents to bail them out ad nauseum (i won't go there with my story) only tell the 'good ones' lol

coastermom hang in there, congrats to ur DD! good luck with the air, it's still scary expensive out of PIT. I'm the family psuedo TAneed to book for oldest DS & family for week after thanksgiving and this is the 1st year that even that slow week is pricey (over double than last year) ! hopefully SWA will be reasonable when they release for rest of year next week

 

[tinydancer09]

ole! usually sorer the next day, how u feeling?

Feeling pretty good. no pain at all. I was expecting the hit so I wasnt tensed up or anything plus I was in the passenger side with nothing to hit. My boyfriend who was driving my car is still a tad sore but nothing horrible at all.


Called my insurance company this morning and he is taking care of everything. Oh how I do love small town companies! He knew who I was and what policy etc I had before I ever answered any questions. All I have to do is pick up the police report on monday and he will handle the rest unless the insurance company wants a statement!

Foundout my dog is sick. She hasnt been eating this week and finally decided something has to be wrong. She has a fever of 104. We finally got her to eat yogurt coated food and chicken and rice mixed with dog food. Hope this antibiotic works!

Welp off to bed. Off to work at the bakery in the morning! I've worked there since I was 15 and only get called in every once in a while now that I am at college! Love working there for the day! See you peeps Sunday after I go see pirates!

Please keep us informed. Stay safe.

We'll do.. latest news is.. the waters aren't looking to be as bad for us as we are in the middle of a drought here in Louisiana.. so some of the water is being "sucked up" by the land on it's way down here.. this has slowed the flow of it, and reduced the expected amount. Still not supposed to get down to where we are until early next week (right before we leave), but more and more signs are pointing to us being ok...

what's up homies?


Coach, I hope you guys make it through this flood, and then go and have a relaxing and fun vacation. (and hope you don't get on FJ)

My biggest worry for our upcoming trip, is DS and I getting motion sickness, I have Bonine, so I hope that will work.

My biggest fear ALSO I have a prescription patch that I am going to use.. I am hoping and praying it (FJ) doesn't affect me too bad.. but I have a bad history of motion sickness..

keisha, I'm going to use Bonine, I even bought Bonine for kids for DS. Also, bought ginger pills, ginger gum and motion ease (not a drug) I have Seabands, but probably not going to use them. (hope all this crap works ) I want to ride FJ right before closing, but I don't know if this will be possible, I don't want DS feeling bad for the day, if we ride first thing in the morning. I haven't decided what my plan is yet. We are going to skip Simpsons and Storm Force Ac., and hoping Spiderman isn't too bad.

tinydancer sorry about your fender bender

I can handle Spidey.. but I do walk out a little queasy... good luck to all of you on your motion issues!!!

Big day for me today.. running a 5K at my son's school in a few hours (part of a fundraising day for the school), then celebrating my oldest son's 14th birthday.. then gonna relax a bit...

Watched most of the "Sorcerer's Stone" last night to remind myself about Harry Potter for our trip next week

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

To all those having the flood waters and any sort of bad weather...be safe and my thoughts are with you

We are going on the Carnival Ectasy sailing Jan 2- Jan 7 2011. This is a surprise cruise for our boys!!!

We will be driving to Florida to stay at Orange Lake the week after Christmas and then we will go on the cruise out of Port Canaveral. The kids know about Florida but not the cruise!!!

This year we won't be going to HHN
My DH and I decided we would do the Florida trip and cruise instead.....but we really wanted to go to HHN What we do for our kids
Does anyone have any suggestions of what we can do while in Florida....Orange Lake has lots of water slides and water stuff so that's covered...I wanted to go to Uni or Disney but it would have to be on the weekend and the crowds would be CRAZY so any other options out there ?

Thanks in advance

What cruise point will you be going out of? If you're going out of Port Canaveral you can do the Kennedy Space Center. I never got to go because we were distracted by the big ship infront of us but all my friends that went with school LOVED it.

Jacksonville has a Zoo near or on the way to the cruise terminal. Never done that either but I always see signs for it. My sister and I are determined to go one day because we've never been before.

Tampa has a huge aquarium right next to the cruise terminal. I have been here and loved it. We got there around 10 AM and didn't leave til around 4PM. It's not quite the Atlanta one but it's still pretty good. You also have Busch Gardens here which is cheaper than USF and Disney.

Miami oh Miami. I'm not a fan of this city so I would say go to key west instead great beaches and great fun.

And of course there's lots of other stuff around. It's a tourist state so the decision is which thing to do not is there anything to do.

Happy Hunting!

Update:
Oh yeah that is a port canaveral ship. I know there are a lot of excursions they have step up that you can do before you get on and off the ship. Never looked into these but always heard about them. I would recommend looking them up and copy cating them... they are a bit over priced when you book through the ship. Nassau is a fun port if you've never been before. If you can afford it go over to atlantis and schedule one of the dolphin things or get tickets to the aquariums. If you do the dolphin let me know and I have some secrets for you! =) Key West is great to walk around. if you want to be educational go to Hemingway's House with all the cats... hope your boys like chickens! They're EVERYWHERE. We hung out at margaritaville and had drinks. Great shopping here. We smuggled some stuff back onto the ship. Walgreens is right down the street! ....I cannot remember if I've ever been to freeport.. hm.

Good afternoon Homies

 

[minniejack]

have a great trip

mh - hmmmph, u mention a cruise but don't dish on the details, what's up with that?

Today was DS's senior class award's ceremony @ school he done good! Awards: Scholarship from high school alumni association, the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence and he broke school record for overall academic scholarship total ($435,000) too bad he can't lump the individual awards together.

that's awesome possum' Happy early b-day to him

Was having a pretty good day lounging around answering e-mails for work and decided to go into town and run errands. Boyfriend had my car so he came and picked me up and drive me into town... then BAM! Got smacked right into the back of! It wasnt THAT bad enough to make the guys breaks squeal and make a loud bang but my car is... okay i suppose. Can drive it no problem it's just cosmetic... but I JUST got the car in Feb. Police took a good 45 minutes to write up the report.

We decided to continue into town and run errands anyways. Now Im back at home and my back is starting to hurt, not too bad just ache, and boyfriends shoulders are sore. Oh well stuff happens! I think its a good excuse for a trip to the parks how about it?

Definitely check out your pains--you never know. Hope you feel better.


Note to self again: Turn off oven.

I guess protein smoke can penetrate everything and though I didn't burn the house down, the clean up is the same and can take longer.

Was in a standard hotel room for 5 days: DH is 6'2", DS and DD 5'9 and 5'10 and shorty me along with small fridge for medicine, cello and violin....ummm...tight? The cleaners kicked us out of our house because they run an ozone machine that can kill anything in sight. No hotels with more room available locally because 3 local colleges had their commencements over the weekend. The restoration people are behind because of all of the flashflooding.

DH and i fought all day on Friday 13th--was that a sign? I never even realized the date until I saw Jason Pooh.

We finally have a cabin with a kitchen and we could bring the dogs to it. But we gotta be out by the 27th--at least standardized testing is done and that is the last day of school.


Oh and let's see: On the way to Pittsburgh I tried to avoid something in the road and it was someone's tail pipe. I knicked it and it swung back and gouged my left rear panel.

The jacuzzi cover that we ordered online came yesterday. We went to install and it was not a trifold that we specially ordered and paid several hundred bucks more for and now the company is blaming the freight company???

Sigh...Sigh...Sigh

Did I mention....SIGH????!!

But today is sunny and 80 so yay.

I'm at mother's doing laundry and using her computer. I only went to the resort's business center once cause their computers are dinosaurs. So, talk to you soon.

Miss Thug...
if i had a day like that, i would go back to bed.

hugs sent your way...

Boyfriend started that back in March for December. Just finished all the books and I think we're going to start watching the movies at the end of the summer or something.

 

[Bluer101]

They have been running some of the movies all weekend again on ABC family HD. Watching Order of Phoenix right now. We watched for the first time Deathly Hallows Part 1 on Blu-ray Friday. So now we are all caught up.

There's a channel here that's been playing all the Harry Potter movies each evening so we've been watching too ... went to IOA yesterday afternoon and FJ was 90 min mid-afternoon ... didn't do it as we had tix for Pirates 4 in IMAX at the theatre in CityWalk for 4 pm

... and just my opinion but this Pirates was the best since the first!!!

Heading to MK in a few - it's EMH until 3 am for resort guests

Barry Manilow

I know...I know!!! There were howls of laughter after a strangely long pause from boys.................I quickly Pressed the autochange button (cd`s all under passenger seat) and Neil Diamond came on!!! That`s not much better apparently

I had to laugh I suppose.....told them they could get the train home That soon stopped them laughing!!!! But I got a rendition of Mandy when I did pick them up I kept the music off though!!

Hope you are enjoying your trip.

If you could, see if Cat in the Hat is down for refurb. I read on another board that it is down for over a week starting yesterday. We arrive in 2 days for a week and hope its not true.
