Team Focker Watch: Lucky Number 13!

[englishrose47]

Hopefully it will work out and you can go. I'll be there next August if it all goes as planned.




So sorry. I have been to a few of these over the years with my DD. The worst was her BFF's brother who died 3 days before Christmas and 3 weeks before his DD was born.

+++++++++++++++++++


Have a good day.

We will be there next August prolly the 19th thru 27th!!!!

Yes the Wake will be sad

Today I've spent chatting with a neighbour about booking his WDW trip and I started pricing up BC for next August and I want to go but David says no as stuff at work is not certain If only it didn't cost so much

Jo I am going next August David PRETTY PLEEESE with a cherry on TOP!!!!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Good Morning!

Sorry I've not posted... been crazy busy trying to get our stuff organized and packed. Got my clothes together, but when I tried on some stuff, it didn't fit right. All my shorts fit fine, but a few of my tops are tight in the chesticle area. Did my breasticles gain weight?

Anyway, now I have to hit Old Navy or Kohls to find a few tops. I think I've got everything else, but I'll make a Target run. Oh, I know I need a cover for my Nook and car shade for the rental.

We have a party this afternoon with all the Census workers that were a part of my team and then it's back to packing and organizing. I don't know how in the heck I'm going to get it all in 3 suitcases!

Hope you all are having a great day! I'll try to get back here to catch up!

Later gators!

 

[jcc0621]

I know. I asked Buzz the other day what he wanted to do for the summer. He said, "I don't think, but can we go to Disney?"

August,2013...not that I am enabling or anything....but Jimmy would love to see his cousins

I haven't had a completely free wednesday since last September. I don't know how to act.

Enjoy it!

Eh - we've got a year to bring him around and shop for a deal!

Are we getting the enabling manuals out

Also, Leo's home sick again. Ugh! Still coughing a lot and no energy. I'm keeping my distance as much as possible and spraying everything down with Lysol.

Hope he shakes it quickly!

I was at Kohl's last week and they didn't have a huge selection

I don't know how in the heck I'm going to get it all in 3 suitcases!

I forget, is this a Waldo-less trip?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Another check in from me. Jim has been texting me all morning getting updates on the soccer scores. Yeah, he is really paying attention at his workshop

I actually got lots of work done today, so I have been working on Jimmy's birthday party. Yeah, his birthday isn't until September, but the place he wants to have it has to be booked in the next couple of weeks if I want the date/time I want. I do his party the Saturday BEFORE school starts. This way I have the excuse of just inviting his friends and not having to abide by the if the invitations are sent to school the whole class has to be invited

His party is going to be at the Elmwood Park Zoo. It is a small local zoo. It's not bad for the price. Everything included is invitations, admission to the zoo, tour of the zoo, animal show, pony ride for each kid, feed for the barn animals, paper products, pizza (or hot dogs) drinks, chips, 1/2 sheet cake decorated in a zoo theme, and each child gets a souvenier zoo cup/water bottle. The best part is I don't have 15 kids running around my house, AND I don't have to cook!

 

[DisneyJo]

I've worn him down David has said that if I can get everything (BC/YC, free DDP, flights and tickets) for under £6k ($9k) we can go I think I can do it but flights can't be booked direct (which is normally the cheapest) until September!!!


Oh and T lots of my tops seem to have got shorter too, obviously my ****s have grown too

WOOOO HOOOOOOTY!!!!!

Now we have to work on T.

Oh and T lots of my tops seem to have got shorter too, obviously my ****s have grown too

You people must be rubbing off on me... I'm having a similar situation - and you KNOW how unusual that is, lol!

 

[DisneyJo]

I shouldn't get too excited I've been pricing up and a package inc flights is working out way over what I have, just the flights alone are coming in at £3,500 that's about $5,250 Even if I had that much there is no way that I could justify that, it's outrageous. However I will check in September and see what the DIY prices are

Yeah, we're Waldo-less this time. He's going to wander around Nashville this summer with my older brother.

Glad my breasticles aren't alone!

WOOOO HOOOOOOTY!!!!!

Now we have to work on T.

Pfft....T needs more points.

We've already booked a plantation house in Kona, HI for next summer.

Really??? When are you going? I may send you some money to get Jim Kona Coffee. It is like $60/lb here, but less than half on the islands.

Happy Thursday Today is Jimmy's last day of camp for this week. Tomorrow he is going with his friend Tyler (and his mom of course) to their swim club for the day. Jim is at his workshop again . Me, I am in work and happy to be here. It is 98 degrees (at 10am) and the heat index is 105. I don't mind these temps in WDW, but here...not so much Although, I have to say I am not complaining too much because. I'd much rather have this than 3 feet of snow.

Better run and get some work done before the computer crashes again. Have a great day everyone!

 

[cmp1111]

Good morning, all...

Buzz has left for his birthday thing, and Woody's playing with the neighbor. I need to clean up the house some in case our Nascar pilot friend ends up here anytime. I instructed D that he had to do work in the bathroom.

Watching the crazy Wimbledon thing - this is nutty!

I knew it was hot but not THAT hot. I am taking the kids to the pool and I may actually go in it myself today. I'm not sure I want 3 feet of snow but I am not prepared for this heat until July. Of course I am freezing right now because my DD's house is a wonderfully cold 69 degrees.

Watching the crazy Wimbledon thing - this is nutty!

I heard about the Wimbledon match. That is crazy. I used to follow tennis but not anymore.

+++++++++++++++++++=

Good morning all. As Janet said we are in the heat here. Fortunately tomorrow will only be 89. My grandson's team won their game last night so they are on to round 2 of the playoffs. We were told it could be tomorrow on. They will most likely give us 24 hours notice if we are lucky. I love planning around that type of schedule.

I am off to the pool with the little ones. I think I may be crazy because it is so cool in the house but getting them out will be good. They are all fighting right now. I have 4 kids today.

Have a good afternoon.

Have fun at the pool!

****************************************************************

5 more sleeps until WDW!!!

I finally finished all the shopping...sort of. I keep forgetting something, so looks like I'll be making ANOTHER Target run this afternoon.

Don't know if you all saw on FB, I ran into Octomom at Target yesterday. It was so weird, as she was standing right next to me in the Toy department and I didn't recognize her until she spoke to her son. Too funny! Naturally, I chased her around Target to get a pic of her, but I lost her, so I went to Starbucks to get a Frap and my phone rings... it's TE saying she's at the checkout right behind Nadia. I booked it over there and pretended to be on the phone, she kept turning around so I couldn't get her pic. Darn! I felt like paparazzi!

So I'm finally packing! I know, right? I've just got to work on the boys now - which is the plan for today.

Have a great day! BBL!

 

[jcc0621]

I instructed D that he had to do work in the bathroom.

See, Jim isn't the only one with a Honey Do list

Watching the crazy Wimbledon thing - this is nutty!

Just read on CNN that it is finally over

I am off to the pool with the little ones.

Have fun and stay cool!

Too bad you couldn't get a pic, TMZ probably would have paid you for it

 

[askelton]

Today we have to go to a Wake of a friend of Judy's who OD'd over the weekend !! She wants my support, the kids are going too as they were all very fond of him!!

How sad for you all.

It's a whole new world with the Internet!

No kidding! I am so thankful.

Reid is having a party with his school friends this weekend, and he asked if Uncle Mooch was going to be there.

Also, Leo's home sick again. Ugh! Still coughing a lot and no energy. I'm keeping my distance as much as possible and spraying everything down with Lysol.

Oh, no! I hope it comes and go quickly.

I don't know how in the heck I'm going to get it all in 3 suitcases!

I don't either. Will you have a washer?

August,2013...not that I am enabling or anything....but Jimmy would love to see his cousins

Cool!

That's great for a party.

Oh and T lots of my tops seem to have got shorter too, obviously my ****s have grown too

I'm jealous.

Watching the crazy Wimbledon thing - this is nutty!

John Isner seems like such a good guy. Enjoying watching Rafa now.

Don't know if you all saw on FB, I ran into Octomom at Target yesterday.

I didn't know if you were serious or not. I saw George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents, last week, and I so wanted to be rude and stare too.



Since we changed insurance, I had to go to a new dentist this morning. I so love all the x-rays. Now I have to go back next week for the cleaning.

Reid got a bicycle for his birthday, and since it was too late to ride yesterday, I told him I'd go out with him today. I must so love this kid because what was I thinking telling him I'd run up and down the street in the heat. You all know how I love to sweat!

I don't either. Will you have a washer?

Yes, thankfully! But still - I'm so picky about how I launder my tops... I prefer to hang them to dry, so I'm taking less shorts/skirts and more tops.

I didn't know if you were serious or not. I saw George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents, last week, and I so wanted to be rude and stare too.

Eww. Someone needs to slap some sense into those people.

We saw OJ Simpson at brunch in Marina del Rey on Father's Day, back when he had just been acquitted and this family next to us asked the restaurant manager to ask OJ to leave because his presence was making them sick. They ended up moving OJ to the bar area.

Ah, that's so sweet!

 

[DisneyJo]

Como say HOW MUCH???

I know!!!!!

Glad my breasticles aren't alone!

It literally is loads of my tops, they've got tighter under the arms too so the material must have shrunk!

WOW!

I know

It is 98 degrees (at 10am) and the heat index is 105. I don't mind these temps in WDW, but here...not so much

Yikes!!!

I know, they must be exhausted!

Yay!

I've been busy cleaning and shopping today I didn't get home from the supermarket until 3.30pm so lunch was a bit late I then put up some black out blinds I bought so hopefully we'll sleep later tomorrow morning

The girls have both had their friends round to swim in the paddling pool and then Jess fell asleep infront of the TV How old is she?

Those two need some serious mental helath evaluations

The pool and hthe sun tired the poor thing out!

 

[puggymom]

Hi Fockers!

As usual I am having similar weather to Janet, it's HOT!

I may be seeing some relief at work, we are re-orging and I am part of the committee, the president agreed to add more resources. Now to get him to sign the actual recs!

I am also going to be in the World next August as it looks. My youngest niece told me she wants to take Mickey's boat to Disney. I interpreted that as a Disney cruise with a few days in the park. To be honest the idea of being on a boat with a child has me a bit nervous, I'm not exactly motherly. I'm thinking of one of the 3 night cruises and then 4 or 5 nights at the parks.

BTW - my tops are fitting fine

So my oldest niece graduated HS Tuesday, very bittersweet! I may have been a bit verklempt, maybe, not admitting anything.

T - that sounds great about Kona, who else is going on that trip? And Octomom, OMG!

Angela - that's great that Mitch can stay in contact like that.

Janet - I like the no kids in the house part.

Any Fockers in the World in Sept? Let me know. I'm still tempted to sneak down for a few nights this summer, but can't find decent airfare.

Well, later Fockers!

Iwill keepfor lower DYI prices !!!

Thanks for all the kind words about the Wake !!It was sad , Judy thinks it was pain patches that he used to many/much of apparently this is the latest "High" So stupid and such a waste !!

Kyle is out dirt bike riding with his Dad !! Sam is at the cheap show seeing "Letters to Juliet" and Steph is in her "cave " So the house is peaceful !!

Planning an early night as I have a 6am start tomorrow and second job right after !! Somehow I have succeded in being OFF on Monday again !! Kyle starts summer camp and the girls don't move to early afternoon soooooo a quiet day is planned !!! Please remember this and see if it actually occurs !!

 

[cmp1111]

Hi, everyone. I read a couple of times today, but never posted. Cleaning mode, modified to D being home.

House looks good - not sure we'll end up with anyone here - we're trying for the boat with our company - but it needed doing anyway.

Buzz had a good time on his outing, and Woody really spent nearly all day with the neighbor, which kept everyone happy. Buzz did get back in time for me to take them to karate.

Angela, I couldn't remember who Casey Anthony was - but now I've got you.

My tops are actually fine, too, Mo. (In fact, the bra that D's mom splurged on for me for my birthday seems too big now - I think that any weight coming off with running, etc. is coming off there. ) Good luck with the re-org!

Um... It was hot here, today, too - but not as bad as Philadelphia, I gather. We were supposed to have big t-storms, but they all missed my house.

Jo, glad Jess had so much fun that she got worn out.

Hi, V! How's Leo doing? Better now than next week, I guess...

T, glad you're packing. I was really worried.

OK, I guess that's all I've got. I doubt I'll be around tomorrow, so I hope you all have a great day.
