Still Sassy after all this time!

[Grumpy's Wife]

Hi to all who are still around this Sassy bunch. It's been a few months since I've signed on to the DIS and I miss you all. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. We got a new puppy, "Ellie". I think I forgot just how much work a puppy can be. Ellie is a maltipoo and is 10 weeks old. I tell you it's like I have a new baby. So Sassies come back and chat.

Hi there Sassies! We had a blizzard last night so no school for the boys and I have no kids to watch. Hurray for a day off! Brian is apparently much more important because he chose to go to work. He's actually lucky he didn't get calls in the middle of the night to go in for broken equipment. Even dr. offices and most hospital services are shut down today.

Tricia, your new puppy sounds fun. They are so much work, but worth it in the end! When Speck was a puppy he used Justin as a human chew toy.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Becca! So glad you're still around. I can't even begin to imagine the snowy conditions y'all are having. We get maybe an inch every 10 years or so. Stay warm and enjoy your day off.

Hi ladies!

How has everyone been? I'm doing well. I'm happy. I'm still broke, but I feel good. I've lost 36 pounds so far, and I have things to look forward to. I'm even going to NYC this weekend, and I'm gonna see Mary Poppins on Broadway!

I'm planning on taking my two youngest girls to WDW the week before school starts (last week of August); the oldest does not want to go, if you can believe that.

Anyway, I want to book my room and tickets separately, rather than get a package. Will Magical Express still give us a ride to WDW if we didn't get a package?

Hi Sassies!

Bonnie, we will be at Disney for the last 2 weeks of August. We're doing Universal too. I think ME will still deliver you even if you don't buy a package. I had a room only once and they didn't kick us off! Congrats on the weight loss! Go girl! And have fun in NYC.

Where o where are all the other Sassies? I picture Angie changing diapers and knitting booties for her grandbabies. Judi is stuck in a snow drift with no socks and a bottle of Tequila. Tricia is living it up in warmer than here La. Shannon is stuck under a growing pile of spackle. Wilma had a pearl shining accident and her fingers are bandaged. Heather has been tied up by Joey and can't free herself.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Awww two sassies in one day.........it makes me happy to see people here again.

Bonnie way to go on the weight loss. I'm still trying and still struggling with the same pounds. I go down then back up. I really need to get a handle on it again. Time to pull out my Weight Watchers books and get myself on track.

It's so cool that both of you have trips planned in August. My kids actually go back to school the first week of August. Something they aren't happy about but they do get out of school on May 20th this year.

I'm trying to get back to Disney next July. Things have been so slow for Mark lately but I'm hoping things will turn around soon. Come on economy let's get going again. That's why I'm giving myself a little extra time to plan. I don't want to disappoint the kids and have to tell them we can't go.

Becca I love how you knew just what we were all doing. Too funny girl!

Wow, wonder if we will be there at the same time! It would be so much fun to see you again! It's been ages since Chicago!

Hi Tricia! I'm glad you have a trip to plan at least! Do you know my girls have not been to WDW for 3 years (3 1/2 by the time we go)? Sad, huh? I'm a horrible mommy!

 

[jbmom]

Tricia, the economy here is really bad too. Thankfully, Brian has had record years even during the bad times. Glad you are planning a trip!

Bonnie, we will be there August 20-September 3. We're staying at Caribbean Beach this time. Where are you and the girls staying?

 

[ocd4disney]

Hiya Sassies...just popping in for a quick hello. hope everyone is doing great. *hugs*

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Hi Heather. How are you? How's the family? Give us a little something Joey's done lately.

 

[ocd4disney]

Good Evening Sassies. We are all doing fine....well mostly fine. Joey has strep throat at the moment. I'm trying to think of a good Joey story to tell..I know I have a bunch but for some reason now I have writers block I wi ll take notes though so that when I sit down to write I can share with you. I will say...and I am hopeful all of the moms with boys wil understand.....that I dont get little boys......Joey's current favorite thing to do is to come over to me...give me a big hug...turn around....press his backside up to my leg and let 'er rip then he rolls around on the floor giggling like a fiend. What is up with boys and body functions?

I have started to plan a Disney trip again. we were going to go...then couldnt go....and now looks like we can go again. We pretty much decided to stay at CBR. Gonna try to go in December. and I am gonna be a really bad mom and take my kids outta school for a week oh the horror!!

How is everyone around here? Hope all is well

 

[ocd4disney]

I have a ticker........cuz I have a vacation BOOKED

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

A trip booked? Well, that calls for the bananas to dance.

Do tell..........details please. I'm living through you because I'm not going back until next summer. I didn't do a ticker because well I'm not exactly sure of the date and it so far away it sort of depresses me.

But I'm happy for you so let's hear all about it.

 

[ocd4disney]

We are going from December 14th to the 23rd....that way the kids only miss 2.5 days of school. We were originally going to stay the entire trip at CBR in a pirate room but then decided we could spring for part of the stay at AKL. I booked a SV bunkbed room......and I DIDNT TELL THE KIDS. They think we are going to entire stay at CBR. Kate is gonna be so excited So we have 6 nights there and the last 3 nights at CBR. I think this will work out great for us because the more the parks get crowded the more time we will spend exploring the resort. We want to rent boats and bikes and that sort of thing.

I love PIN codes This is the first year I have recieved a discount I was actually able to use.

Oh..and I am trying to talk my DH into letting me take mom and the kids next year since she cant go this year. I would love to stay in one of the new family suites at the value resort they should be opening next year.

How are you doing Tricia? how are the kids?

 

[ocd4disney]

Oh..and we have 8 day hoppers but are also planning on 2 days at Universal....we just have to see the Harry Potter stuff

I think we will try to leave here whent he kids get out of school the 13th and drive part way..then finish the trip the next day. I would love to get there early enough to look around...maybe take in some fireworks at one of the parks.

 

[ocd4disney]

I changed my ressie just a little bit again yesterday.....and now my PIN is expired so no more changing......unless of course i get another PIN

We are now staying in a bunkbed room with an arusha view


December feels like such a long time away

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Heather December will be here before you know it. Just this past Sunday Colin told me "you know my birthday is only 10 months away" it's December 27th. I guess when I was young I looked forward to my birthday's too. Now it's just another day..................................older.

 

[jbmom]

Congrats Heather! I'm really looking forward to going in August after skipping last year.

Tricia, I call my birthday the day formerly known as my birthday. I turned 40 this year and I'm not liking it at all!

Have a great day Sassies!

 

[frndofpooh]

Good afternoon, Sassies! Long time, no chat! No, I did not have a pearl shining incident (at least, not lately) but this year has really been kicking my patootie. Being the mother of a teenager is not for sissies, let's just put it that way. I'm looking forward to the two weeks off from the pool that our team has in April so that I can at least stop this endless driving.

I'm excited about all of the Sassy DW action in August! We are going in August as well, on a 4 day cruise preceded by 4 days in the parks. Maybe we will cross paths at some point. Mr. FofP is in charge of trip planning and I can never remember the start date of our trip. I should probably look into that, lest they drive off without me.

How has everyone been? I had a two year old student tell me to "zip it" today as I reprimanded him for grabbing his tablemate's snack. Nice. My eyebrows probably touched the ceiling on that one!

Becca - what's with you and the Bejewled Blitz? You must have the fastest reflexes in the midwest! I'm turtle like next to you, my friend!

Tricia - How are the kids? Is your oldest loving college? What is she studying?

Heather - Congratulations on your trip! We stayed at the AKL once and really liked it, although I think there may have been a particular giraffe stalking us.

Bonnie - Where are you working now that you are back in No. Va?

See you Sassies on the flip side!
