Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[PrincessV]

Not that I have a style in mind but I've been wearing my hair up a lot so I guess that means it needs to be shorter.

Careful with that - that's what I thought and I was wrong! WIshing my hair back even as I type...

 

[jcc0621]

I hate going to the grocery store. I love eating, but not shopping!

Me too! Just the thoughts of having to go makes me crazy.

What time should I be over? I wouldn't want you to drink alone.

Anytime

I need HELP!!!

I was convinced by a friend to join Facebook... but I'm lost there! Any Facebook users here? What's the protocol - do you just try adding friends willy-nilly, or do you need to have a IRL relationship first?? See, there are a bunch of people I used to know well on there, but I can't see pics, etc. unless they're "friends." But, not having talked to them for 20ish years, it seems a bit awkward to just send a request to be my "friend."

How does it all work? Am I letting my fear of rejection ruin my Facebook career?!

No clue about it, if LEssa shows up I think she is on facebook. Most people I know are on my space.

, Where's Ed, I need a drink

I`m sorry Janet..I went back to bed after the kids got on the bus!
Its too early for a drink...But I figured you would need some energy for your crazy day!

 

[ncsjodi]

Just taking a break from cleaning to have lunch and catch up with my favorite ladies.

V - never been on myspace or facebook, so I can't help you.

Jen2 - I'm getting a haircut tomorrow as well. I need one and I won't be able to do that for a few weeks, so I figured I'd get it done before next week.

Ed- Junior is doing fine. No pain and let's keep it that way.

I've only got about 30 minutes before I have to go get DD4 from school. I want to get the kitchen mopped before I leave so that it will dry while I'm gone.

See you guys later this afternoon!

 

[carrieannie]

You shouldnt be mopping!!!
I`ve got to get stuff done also.....I goofed and went back to bed after the kids got on the bus... still drinking coffee in my sleepy pants!!
gotta go get Chicken food and clorine for the pool....

This is a quick post.

Things went all to H E Double Hockey Sticks today.

SD called me from school at 11 am. He said he "couldn't sit in the desk." I don't know! I asked him if he was panicking and he said a little could I just hurry up and get him? OMG. So, I drove over there and on the way he called again. He said that if I talked to the admin. he could just leave and I wouldn't have to go inside. So she got on the phone, poor lady. I cried. I told her I didn't know what to do, it was early days for us in this yet. We don't have an IEP or anything like it. What do we do? ! ? I can't have him coming home every day, he'll flunk out of 10th grade!

She sent him outside and then told me that they have around 200 kids in the building with similar and not so similar issues!!!! That I should call back when he's busy or in another room or go outside and talk to the counsellors and the social worker there and they will make sure all his teachers know, that he has a "safe spot" to go to relax if he has issues and that he will be able to stay on campus but still get the help he needs as their goal is to make sure he SUCCEEDS! THANK GOD. That made me feel way better but now I have alot to do. And I have a call in to his Psychologist so we can decide what to do, if anything.

He's fine now. I want to take him back but he says, NO. Tomorrow.

So, I have to go for now girls. I know you're all sending love my way so thanks.

I'll try to let you know what happens.....

[carrieannie]

Oh Mel! Sounds like the school has a great plan....We`ll be here....

 

[mrsksomeday]

Mel, I am so sorry to hear that. Are you going to do an IEP? I am glad the school is helping you out.

 

[jcc0621]

Mel HOpe things get worked out soon.

---------------------------------------------------------

So we have been home 5 days and I have started planning next years trip. Jim says I need psychological help DO I fockers, do I need to call for medical attention

We are looking at pretty much the same time next year (August 18th - 28th). We are thinking of staying at All Star Movies instead of Pop for a change. Who has stayed there, what is the transportation like? The buses are what scare me the most because all 3 resorts share one bus, no? Help me Fockers!

 

[jcc0621]

Talk me off the ASMo ledge and tell me to stay at Pop, which is familiar and we have never had any problems. Then again if I "fib" and say mom or dad is staying withus I can get a mod at 50% off. Favorite mods?

 

[Muffinygood]

Thanks MrsK, Janet and Ed.

Sorry Janet I can't help you with your insanity. We've only stayed at Pop this one time, AKL once, BWV in June, GF for 2 days and my trip to WL with Gus last summer. All our other trips, we've rented a house.

Still waiting on school people to call me....

[LurrrvtheDuck]

LOL, after Fay, our local coverage has all but ceased! Our nerves can't take anymore; they're just saying "we may get some rain from Hanna and we'll keep an eye on Ike and Josephine..."

Ugh, I wish our news would do that.

In other news, Leo wants to go to Dinosaur World.

This, from the child who won't set foot on the Dinosaur! ride at AK.

It actually looks kinda cool, but I like dinosaurs, my favorite part of the other park is the Jurassic Park area. Maybe you can do his birthday party there next year. Can you believe they allow pets?!

S'late: That is too funny about Ike & Josephine and that your DD noticed. There must be a Lemony Snicket fan at NOAA.

Jodi--Glad Junior isn't giving you pain, and I agree with everyone else that you should take it easy.

Thank goodness I don't need a mammogram yet . I don't know why insurance companies and mammogram centers don't switch over to the ultrasound mammos that are supposedly more accurate and it's not an inhumane method.

Mel that sucks.

Ok got 5 hrs of sleep and made myself wake up. If the weather stays nice I'm gonna go play tennis with the boyfriend.

Talk to ya'll later!

I personally think you should go for the MOD. I hear Coronado Springs has a nice pool and slide. POR wasn't bad either, just big so make sure you're near the main building where the food court is.

As for ASMo, we stayed there in Oct. it wasn't bad. Typical Value Resort, the rooms are exactly like the POP rooms the only difference is the resort itself is a bit smaller. Yes they do share buses with ASSp & ASMu, but I think so many people stay at POP that it's about the same amount of people at the bus stops IMO (except MK, that one always seems to be full).

Oh babe.

If you feel you need to, request a 504 plan. (similar to an IEP, but for children who don't struggle academically) You can set it up quickly...get things taken care of...get him what he needs.

Things WILL get better.

 

[Goofyluver]

Oh yea. I updated my TR. Feel free to join me over there!!!

[KatGarcia]

Didn't quite catch up got side tracked with Jo's & Jess's TR !!Anyway I'm off to bed !!

Hey lady no luck with that avatar yet????

My sleep is completely off too, which sucks.
The news is trying to scare people by saying that tropical storm Hanna might turn towards us, even though the cone doesn't really show it hitting Miami . I hate the news during Hurricane season.
Ike is looking skeery though and right behind that is Josephine...

I'm trying to get back on a normal schedule but stupid KC stays up later than a vampire! So annoying!

WHEN I CAN GET TO IT.. I AM NOT USED TO HAVING 11 SUBBED THREADS . 10 being TR's PLUS MY OWN.. and now that all your FF people are writing TR's.. I am busier than a 1 armed mom with septuplets.

11????????????? Dude I am over 50 at the moment.

In other news, Leo wants to go to Dinosaur World. Badly. He asks every time we pass it on I-4 between home and WDW. I think he has undeliverable expectations of the place - he seems to think it'll be a lot like Jurassic Park. In the movie.

This, form the child who won't set foot on the Dinosaur! ride at AK.

I passed it for the first time this trip, and H seems to want to go there too (shes 9). It looked ok. I think at night they looked CREEPY sticking out of the shurbs and trees. Eek.

I'm just grasping at annoyances but omg. I wanted to crawl under the table. It was a nice place, but we don't go there often....thank god. Later on, Bob says, "Wow, she's got the manners of a construction worker." Nice. Yep. Thankfully, I taught MYSELF some manners.....
And my boys have BEAUTIFUL manners....


MEL

LOLO. Any word on bob's parents coming???

I'll check in before I leave and after I get back tonight. have a fun day, but not too much with out me!

I hope everything goes easily today! I'm def thinking of u all. OH and I got the PM, I just havent gotten around to going through my inbox yet.

Booooo. My stylist called and flipped me till tomorrow. I guess my grey will have to wait another day.

I need me some hair dye! I have reddish ends and greying top. I think I am going to go for one of those root touch up kits to even it out and get a hair cut soon to try and even it out!

I need HELP!!!

I was convinced by a friend to join Facebook... but I'm lost there! Any Facebook users here? What's the protocol - do you just try adding friends willy-nilly, or do you need to have a IRL relationship first??

I am new to facebook as well. It is kinda annoying that u cant see others profile's until u are friends. I say just add them as a friend and see what happens. I found a bunch of old high school friends there and just added them, if they or you want you can send a msg without being friend-ed. It's pretty neat actually once u get into it. If u need help lemme know!

Well I;m really glad the school can help you out! I hope everything is getting better mel .

I stayed at Music last year and the bus situation was not bad at all. Sometimes at the end of the night in a park it was kinda a pain but even still it wasn't as bad as waiting at some of the darn deluxes for a bus!

My fav mod (after havign stayed at all of them now) is CSR or POFQ. Riverside was beautiful too tho and CBR is good only if you stay preferred rooms near the main area. Just my opinions.

Ok got 5 hrs of sleep and made myself wake up. If the weather stays nice I'm gonna go play tennis with the boyfriend.

Talk to ya'll later!

You said Boyfriend!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Am I actually caught up? wow. I am procrastinating doing anything today so I have been dis-ing all darn morning. I have things to do but the pc chair calls to me! I need to get cat food and some house stuff and I wanna go use up those real woman dollars at lane bryant... and I guess a shower would be good too .

It's another lonely day, KC is going uptown in the city to see his uncle to fix some computer or something for him, so no real dinner to be made . I'll prob make eggs for myself.

Tomorrow I think we are heading to china town for some dim sum...i LOVE dim sum.

I'm sure I'll be back!

O.K. Wow Something I actually have some practice at.
Up till This July it was all POP. We did ASMu and LOVED the change. HOWEVER the MK Bus seemed to forget about us. It was a longer wait than POP which is MUCH LONGER than 20 min.
AND Scott waited 5 minutes at MK for a Bus. Now Sports and Movies came but No ASMu.
Now this is a "tease" but since the resorts are so small you CAN Catch ANY OF THEM at the Parks and have no trouble walking to your Resort IF YOU ARE AT ASMu( since it's in the middle) We did just than Leaving MK one night since the "Yellow Shirts" were at our Resort and they were two bus loads them selves. So we took ASMovies and walked to the room. yes .. it took a little longer.. But I was home 1 1/2 hours earlier probably than others waiting for the ASMu Bus.

I LOVED the Main Pool The Life Guards are so personable and they do fun things for the guests at different hours.
We would stay at ASMu again.. Most Likely if we do a Value again it will be there.


Does that Help or Muddy the water More.


Oh.. AND IF I knew WHEN I COULD GO BACK.. I would be Planning it Myself
