Team Focker Watch Chat - in the 11th Hour

[cmp1111]

OK, I should be there in what, 8-10 hours

Nah, it should only take 6. Only, I suppose, that it would be 12 by the time I came to pick you up and bring you back, since you can't drive.

Hi, LL!

********************************************
Janet, I can top you - I went to the store to get adult beverages and snacks for tonight, and spent over $100. Mind you, I did get a LOT of adult beverages... The store has a deal that if you get 6 bottles of wine, you get $5 off, most of what I got was on sale, too, and I figure it's better to save the extra $.83/bottle and stock up for a couple of weekends than to buy a few at a time and not save anything, you know? You gotta spend it to save it, right?

 

[askelton]

Well said ladies and I know it was said truly out of love. LL, you said some things that I need to remember more often. Thank you.

I think that needs to be the OFFICIAL FOCKER MOTTO!

We all do ANgela, we all do

Yup, England would be a good place for her.

Hey don't send her here And good luck with the car search!

My hair is ok. The color is a little more red than blond now but the style is basically the same. If you watch CNN in the morning, I so want Heidi Collins hair! It's much redder than mine and her style is too short for my face, but I still want it! She also had some very cool earrings on yesterday.

Photo please, actually I can see it IRL in 1 week

NOw I am going to have something to eat adn tehn I AM GOING TO CLEAN MY LIVING ROOM. (I thought if I put it in capitals, I might actually do it)

So did you do it???

WHy not. I'm watching the Golden Girls

Oh I loved that when I was younger!

Hi lafies!

You Americans have some funny words don't ya?

I'm sitting here almost crying because a character on a soap I watch is about to die, I'm such a wuss

 

[jcc0621]

Oh I loved that when I was younger!

It is a funny show!

I guess the moratorium of NOT making fun of my tupos is over

Yes, yes you are K/K Jo LY> When I was pregnant I cried over all that kind of stuff! Once I started crying during an episode of Hiome Improvement JIm had to leave the room so he wouldn't laugh at me

I have absolutely no idea what you wrote above And she just died

I'd send her away from you. And thanks. No word on the van yet - but even if it's beyond what I want to repair, I don't necessarily have to get a new car anytime too soon.

No, sounds like me. I've cried twice whilst reading Harry Potter to the kids, and we're talking the first two books, before they get truly sad - I'm crying because they won the house cup. My kids think I'm weird.

I guess the moratorium of NOT making fun of my tupos is over

What's a tupo? Sorry, sorry...

 

[jcc0621]

Love you guys too!

Really - I didn't post here already today? I could have sworn I checked in briefly! It's been a long week.


Kat, LL's killing me with all the fonts, colors and sizes in this thing (LY LL!), but I wanted to pull this out:

Are you putting money aside for yourself? Are you planning for the near future? Buying a more expensive, more fun cell phone is not the way to look out for yourself – it’s bordering on denial. Can you afford your apartment if KC were to walk out the door tomorrow? Regardless of whether or not you paid the rent for the next month so he “can’t” leave? What if he does Kat?? Can you keep a roof over head? Can you keep the electricity on? Can you keep food in the house?...
Women should be prepared, happy marriage or not, to take care of themselves if they have to. Not just in the event of a divorce, but also a death.

THIS is what I tried to say to you initially, but - well - I'm going through some stuff myself right now and I just couldn't get the right words together at the time. Thanks LL, because I really, really think this is critical. Kat, I'm the poster child for this message. When my ex left - and I had NO lead-up, he just was there one day and gone the next - I was left with most of the assets (thank goodness), most of the debt, a part time job, and an 8 month old with pneumonia. I was utterly unprepared to take care of myself, let alone Leo. I plain got lucky with friends and family who helped me financially and a job that happily put me full-time immediately. I can't imagine what would have happened otherwise, and I will NEVER put myself in a position of being completely reliant on another again.

I know I'm not around much lately, but I am thinking of you. Hang in there and take care of YOU.

I also got some Snickers Ice Cream Bars while I was there

What I wouldn't do for one of those right now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been another tough week. Short version: Leo's having a tough time adjusting to his new situation and work is going through major changes. There's no freaking escape, lol! Remember how I joked about FBing for work? Yeah, well, it's no longer a joke. Most of my day is now spent social networking for work. I think it's part of why I'm not posting more here; I'm burned out on the Internet socializing.

to all.

I've seen all the posts and uupdates. That would drive me crazy too

Hope everything is okay with Leo!

Jim and I talked last night and we decided to do the responsible thing. I had already told you all that we weren't doing DIsney next year (I will do a short trip to visit my parents). Last night we sat down with the bills and the budget, etc and came up with what we have dubbed.

GOAL AUGUST 2013​

Yes, we are going to wait 4 years yo go back to muy happy place. Why may you ask? We could afford yo do it next year{WE have been very lucky even during this stinking economy), if we stayed at a value, ate most counter service meals, etc. However...we don't want to (Insert stamping foot so I get my way smiley). Also, with all the construction that's going to be happening at the MK over the next couple of years we want to wait until its all done!

We decided the next time we go we want to do it up right. So here is the goal

Dateline August 2013...............

6 Nights/7 Days Savannah View at Animal Kingdom Lodge
3 Park Hoppers (Jimmy will be 9 then and hopefully able to stay up later)
Dining Plan (If it is still offered then)
- Again Jimmy will be older and we want to do some of the MICER (Re: Cali Grill) restaurants!

THEN....

4 Nights/5 Days Club Level at the Royal Pacific Resort
3 Tickets to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure.(Actually 2 since I already have one)

Jim is insistent that the next time we go we are driving. This is becasue he felt a little helpless with me being sick HAVING to get on the plane and HAVING to return the rental car. Maybe between now and then I can talk him iinto flying. Then again, bythen plane fare may be so HIGH that drving will be cheaper.

It;s not alot of fun being an adult, but the END result is going to be AWESOME don't you think!????

 

[jcc0621]

Here are the rest of the Universal Pictures I thought I'd share with you all!

Guess Where they ate>>

I'm sitting here almost crying because a character on a soap I watch is about to die, I'm such a wuss

You do know she's not really dead, on the soap I mean. I'm sure they'll bring her back eventually!

Once I started crying during an episode of Hiome Improvement JIm had to leave the room so he wouldn't laugh at me

I'm sorry but that is funny!

Remember how I joked about FBing for work? Yeah, well, it's no longer a joke. Most of my day is now spent social networking for work. I think it's part of why I'm not posting more here; I'm burned out on the Internet socializing.

So do they think it's helping?

 

[askelton]

Janet, your trip sounds wonderful and very responsible financially, but what are we to do in the meantime without seeing you?

Jimmy looks so cute in the pictures.

I'm still going to be doing short trips to see my parents, so even if I don'r go to parks etc, we can meet for lunch The plan right now is for Veteren's Weekend next year. Sunday to Thursday type thing. It would all depend on airfare prices. I would stay with my parents, maybe fo to ONE park but it is mostly to see them.!

Thanks. That last one at Pastamore cracks me up. He lookes either exhausted or STONED!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Okay, I was going to do a bunch of quotes on chuffing and TE's rubber heels collapsing underneath her , but I got distracted with my friend having her baby this afternoon.


Kat- I wanted to say that LL's right. We love you and we will be here for you no matter what. I agree that it's time to think about what your future looks like and prepare for it. I'm so glad that LL said what we didn't know how to say. She's a true girlfriend.


Now, I'm off to grab my kids. Happy Friday, everyone!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

2013???

Well, I understand. It's not fun being responsible. We're going next year, but then we'll take a break in 2011.

You never know, Janet. Maybe you'll get on the Mom's Panel and get that free trip!

BUT, I know we'll be seeing you in 2013 at AKL!

 

[jcc0621]

Dawn - Congrats to your friend!

T - Yep, being an adult is hard sometimes but ya gotta do what ya gotta do...right!

Ellie's new friend Ellen's Mum just called and invited her round to play tomorrow, a few things she said though I'm not sure if I'm invited too suppose I'll find out tomorrow

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

We are thinking about pushing the 2012 trip back to 2013 as well. Not only for financial reasons (school) but also because we want to go once everything is completed.
