Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[HomeschoolMama]

I know I'm pretty much talking to myself, but...that's okay. I think I'm going to google a Disney check list. I haven't done much planning for this trip and I feel like I'm missing something.
i can't really pack yet because everything has to be spotless for showings. I don't get back from Dallas until dinnertime on Sunday, so I'll have to wash clothes and pack that night before. It'll be good to distract me and I'll be worn out from the weekend. We're going to have to leave the house about 5am!
I'll be too excited to sleep anyway!

could be strep.

We don't get strep here we have tonsillitis

did you call the doctor???

Errr no I have the sneezes too so I think it's a cold!

I forgot to mention that Leo lost his first tooth last week! And I do mean lost... it fell out at school, he put it in this little tooth-shaped plastic necklace thingy his teacher gave him, and it fell out somewhere on the playground. He wasn't upset - he figured the "tooth fairy" would find it anyway. He was, however, disappointed to find the next morning that the tooth fairy doesn't bring presents. He wasn't real impressed with the $3 in quarters the fairy coughed up. But I let him take that and some allowance money to buy the toy he wanted at Target, so it's all good now.

Wow $3 I used to get 10p (about 15c) and my girls got £1 ($1.50)

So, we roped off our lawn last night. Oh yeah, we're looking classy now. I called the utility company to come mark off the cables and they should be here by Monday.

So what does the neighbour think?

Feel better. You know I joined Twitter too, but I'm not sure why? I have no idea how it works.

I checked your page today and saw that you hadn't posted anything

I can take or leave the first two...( prefer to leave JW though) But according to what I've heard... Only American's like Monty Python.. Scott included.. and his family And the Brits do not.. So call me British With just a pinch of Southern Twang

I don't like Monty Python so tell Mo I am British

I would rather move into one and not have to worry about my family. YKWIM? So, bring on the offers, home buyers! Momma wants to move!

Sounds good



I'm putting together a list of WDW tips like front of the monorail, see candy lady in Japan etc. What are your favourite tips??????

Hey Peeps. Just checkin' in to say "Hi!"

Got alot going on - Waldo's had some repurcussions from his previous surgery and we're dealing with that.

Evan's had some post tramatic stress from his ER visit and is regressing. Can't get him to school or anywhere I won't be without a major meltdown.

I'm up to my ears with Girl Scout cookies. OH and shoving them in my mouth doesn't help!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Dawn - Have a great TRIP!!!

 

[kykatt2]

I am bored.

I understand the builders are being cautious, but that only leaves people stranded for months. It's so ridiculous. Plus, I can find 5 or more houses that people built with the same builder, in the same neighborhood that are for sale now. That's the route we'll go with, I'm sure.


I know everything is out of my hands at this point. I've been praying for patience. I want it now.

I used to have that "saying" on a little sign in my bedroom when I was younger.
It's always easy for those of us NOT GOING THROUGH somthing to offer advice.. But I have been in your shoes twice... Moves, and selling houses.. once took a year, forcing me to go back to work and leave Joshua in daycare for 9 months.

How about if you are in AK stop by the shop near to Dinosaur as you are leaving the area where you can assemble Mr and Mr Potato heads... IF you are there in the morning... you can get picked to have your Creation be a "Spud of the Day" and they will give you a certificate.

Everything I know comes from you lot, anyway. Um, go to the far ends at the park gates and CS restaurants? The queues are always shorter.

Hey Peeps. Just checkin' in to say "Hi!"

Hiya, T! Sorry about Waldo & Evan.

Thankfully, we're nearly out of the Girl Scout cookies in this house. I had 5 Samoas yesterday afternoon for no reason, then had to work really hard on the treadmill to take them back off (but I did! ) Still... I could have burned off lunch instead...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well, I have been to the grocery and need to probably go ahead and run the vacuum in the less-used rooms. I don't want to.

 

[cmp1111]

OK, I vacuumed one room, time for a break!

 

[princessjv]

Hi!!


Jo- Will you share that list with us? I have a started list somewhere... If I can find it, I'll email you.

____________
I am literally EXHAUSTED! I slept 2.5 hours last night.! Ouch! I have our touring plans COMPLETED! I also did plans for 3 other families who will be there at the same time. The exception is I am still tweaking a late start AK plan for a friend. That is becoming a hassle!

I am really looking forward to seeing JenJen and Dawn! I have been so swamped I haven't had much time to even comprehend that I'm going to WDW! I have got to pack and prepare! I don't even have a ride to the airport firmed up! Miss you tons!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I wonder where Mel's been today?

 

[jcc0621]

Dawn..try this site for a gift basket for the kids. I'm thinking of doing one for Jimmy this year and Disney Florist is WAY to expensive!

Janet, those look cute. I like the Woody basket.

 

[jcc0621]

They do look really cute and you can pretty much pick out what you want to go in them, which means you can sort of control the costs! I'm leaning toward Star Wars, and then adding an EPCOT passport to it. Jimmy has 3 pairs of ears, so I don't hink he needs another one. Although he does want a plain black pair (He has one, but my mohter bought them for him when he was born and they are on a shelf never worn. DOn't want them ruined

I'm sorry T hope everything sorts itself out

[princessjv]

Jo, do you have the link for where I find those special gifty things for the what will you celebrate promo? A friend wants to order something for her DD. (I am secretly hoping it is for me, since I spent so much darn time trying to make her trip magical! I even scored her a cancelation for CM's... for 6 people!


What are your Dec. dates?

Yea, I was going to copy you!

T, for Waldo and Evan.

I hate that I'm missing you, but I know you'll have fun.

Just had my December flights confirmed

Whoohooty! Same dates?

We went out to the Braves game and they won again! As Mitch says, our second string players can beat your second string players. Most of the roster players are either not playing yet or playing for their country in the World Baseball Classic. But they still won and it was again a nice day.

 

[princessjv]

Angela- I am bummed missing you too! You must be so excited to leave for your trip!

Did you book direct with WDW? If not you need to go via your travel agent! It's meant to be great and when you get to your resort there will be a dedicated line for online people, a bit like a fast pass, try again

And don't forget my pre-tr for Europe.

Where are you going Scott?
