Tagless & Formerly Tagless ... It's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!

[SadieDog]

Oh, my, you are in an allergen infested environment! Do you take anything for it? I actually get allergy shots, I've been doing them for about...5-6 years now. They really have helped me a lot, I barely need my Allegra anymore.

Do I take anything you ask..... ......
I do a neti pot with a drop of grapefruit seed extract every day. I breath in steam with apple cidar vinegar as needed. I am on Singulair, Nasacort, something to prevent heartburn and take decongestants as needed. I don't feel heartburn but was told that could be the cause of the metalic taste in my mouth. They are now wondering if on top of my allergies, if acid is going into my sinuses instead of feeling the heartburn like other people. I also have OMT for my sinuses. The thought is that in order for your sinuses to drain, your muscles can't be too tight (which mine are) and the bones around your neck and head must be aligned. Your skull is not 1 large bone like many people think. I did allergy shots for less than a year. I stopped after a rare late reaction that they were very concerned about. I could have died. I HATE dust mites!

How are my tagless/formerly tagless friends doing?

We got confirmation that we'd get our tax returns Friday. I was playing around with dh and said, "That was a lot of work. You really ought to pay me for it, since you didn't use an accoutant this year."

He's paying me with the Deluxe Dining Package for our June trip. 24 Meal credits. How on earth am I gonna eat it all?

NICE. There is a regular Dining Package and a Deluxe?

Good, thanks!

Sweet! I would totally take advantage of that plan and do lots of signature restaurants. Yum, yum.

You know, I think we talked about your bad reaction to shots before and I totally forgot, I'm sorry.

You have quite the medecine cabinet going. I hope it all helps, hon!

NICE. There is a regular Dining Package and a Deluxe?

Yes. There are three dining plans.

The quick service plan is 2 counter service meals per night, 2 snacks per night, and a refillable mug

The Dining Plan (regular) is 1 Counter service meal per night, 1 Table Service Meal per night, and 1 snack per night

The Deluxe Plan is three meals per night (counter service or table service--does not matter), 2 snacks per night, and a refillable resort mug.

We want to do Hoop dee Doo, Cinderella's Royal Table, and Hollywood Brown Derby, all of which count as 2 seatings. Hoop dee doo is just for the Sangria (lol) and CRT is for Boo's birthday. We would also purchase extra snacks and a refillable mug per person and would have to buy a Counter service meal per person every day for breakfast in addition. So really, the Deluxe will save us money.

TK: It'll be hard enjoying all of that food, but someone needs to do it and send some money to Disney, lol!

Speaking of which, has anyone here eaten at Raglan Road? I think I'm off to the Dining Board to look at food porn. . .

ladies can you help me out? I asked dh to talk to his mom about dd bday b/c we are going to have it at his ex stepdads house. now they are both remarried and they both have moved on or i should say i know he (his ex stepdad) has but I don't think his mom has it ahs been almost 6 years. anyway mil hasn't been to the kids bday's in a few years however we always let her know when and where. he has already told her when but not where. now here is my problem dh seems to think he should jsut let it go and not say a thing to her but i on the other hand don't want her to hear it from someone else and get her feelings hurt. but if we tell her I know she'll be upset but like i told dh that we can't always plan everything around one person that doesn't come anyway.

should dh say something or should he just keep his mouth shut knowing he has already told her when? thanks in advance

 

[creativeamanda]

I'd let dh handle it. And if anyone asks, say, "Dh is handling it". Sorry I can't give more interesting advice.

 

[Smileybug]

Yeah...that is a tough one. I do appreciate you doing your part to ensure that Disney is still there when I'm ready to go back.

Oh boy...family dynamics. Hubby and I were just talking about this. There are some things going on in my family. I would just tell her in a general conversation. Then it is her choice on whether she puts her big girl panties on and attends. This is for your child not your MIL. Don't let her put a damper on things. I know that is easier said than done. But when it comes to family you can't always please everyone. After 26 years of marriage I quit trying to please family. My hubby and kids come first. For everyone else...if it works...great. If not.... Maybe next time. Just try not to have any hard feelings toward her if she doesn't come.

Smiley, I like the new Pooh.

no hard feelings since she hasn't come to any of the kid's bday parties in a few years anyway and I am not counting on her coming to this one either but i know her and she got her feelings hurt when she found out we out there for the 4th of July however she had NO plans and no plans to see us so I was confused when she tried to put a guilt trip on dh. I guess the question is do we want to hear it from her b4 or after the party and will be worse if she hears it from someone else?

I usually let dh handle these things but I over analyze everything go figure?

 

[Mean Queen]

Hey all! Oooh, snot pots and shots. What a fun conversation I've walked into. I hope all you sickies get better. I've been spraying saline spray and sucking it back out of my almost 3 year old. So I know the yuck stinks. (I was going to go for a rhyme, but was worried it'd get ***'d.)

Cheermom - I agree with the advice to let DH handle it. I get all stressed about getting a guilt trip from my MIL too, but in the end, it's his mom, let him deal with it. The MIL tends to forgive the son earlier than the daughter in law.

Amanda - I haven't been to Ragland Road, but it sure looked and smelled good. Congrats on the deluxe dining! We're doing the dining plan when we go in a few weeks for DD's birthday. But not the deluxe.

Smiley - my little one loves the new Pooh.

Thanks PaMom. I needed a change but pooh is destined to be in my life.

Over analyzing things is something I have had to work on myself.

so does that mean i shouldn't say anything else to him at all? or can I ask weather he has talked her?

Hey Mean Queen. No AI tonight. Tell your little one that I'm glad she likes the new Pooh.

Taking one for the team, huh?

I haven't, but I've heard great things about the food. Also heard it can be a little loud, depending on if the band's playing and your proximity. They've got such a wide selection on their menu!

should dh say something or should he just keep his mouth shut knowing he has already told her when? thanks in advance

Regardless of the issue, I always let DH handle his mom. I can deal with my father in law (they're divorced), but his mom is a whole different story. In that case, it's just better for him to handle those issues.

And believe me, I get you.

We're going through a similar thing with Easter right now. DH wanted to go down to his mother's, who we didn't see for Christmas until February because she was too busy.

Now, this doesn't offend me any more, but I do feel badly for my son, because he's her grandson. I understand that he'll learn what the situation is like when he gets older, but no one wants that for their children. And part of me is just beaten down from trying so hard.

In addition to that, the last time she was in our home was over 2 years ago. Not due to lack of invitation. Apparently, the road just doesn't run both ways. Quite frankly, it's a miracle we make it home from her house when we visit.

I find visits down there to be loud, chaotic, (always late) and usually full of things I'd prefer not to expose my son to.

So, for Easter, I recommended inviting everyone here. My immediate family, DH's divorced parents, his siblings, spouses, neices, etc.

I'd like to run on the theory of who comes, comes, and who doesn't, oh well. But it's hard, because my poor DH. That man wants to believe there's good where it doesn't exist. God bless him. I love him.

so does that mean i shouldn't say anything else to him at all? or can I ask weather he has talked her?

I would just ask casually if he's talked to her in general. That's usually what I do.

see i get it my mil since their divorced has decided that she no longer celebrates christmas (but she does gets a present ) and never invites nor come around during that time BUT you better believe right after the 1st we HAVE to go to her house for the weekend but she never comes to our house then complains that she never sees us and on top of that she moved over 3 hours away when she got married

don't get me wrong she is a great person meaning she never gets in between us about any fight and she never picks sides which is wonderful.

but this obsession she has with thinking we shouldn't have anything to do with dh's ex stepdad. whens he found out we moved into his rental she about flipped. (this is really our house now he gave us an awesome deal)

You're lucky in that despite her idiosyncrasies, she's essentially a nice person.

I've been called a b****. His siblings have been told I don't want him to spend time with them. She threw a bloody fit on our wedding day and made my reception over an hour late. I don't hold grudges against her, because I understand that she is a completely self-centered person.

But that doesn't mean that I have to keep degrading myself by allowing me, my husband, and my son to be treated like second class citizens.

You know what I mean?
