[HomeschoolMama]

Look at my ticker!!!!

I'm so excited! I've been so busy with work and family stuff, that I really hadn't had time to think about the trip, but now I'm in full get ready mode!

I have so many shows to catch up on, things to pack, and I want to leave the kitchen stocked and house spotless. So, that's what's up with me.

How's everyone else?

 

[tazdev3225]

I know what you mean. I leave in 29 days, I just don't know how to get tickers.

+++++++++++++++++
It's wednesday. My no kids day but I have already seen one dr., have an IEP for Mikey, another drs appt, Crystal's dance and then there is the open house for Crystal tonight. Not much of a day off.

My surgery is set for Dec 7th or may get changed to the 9th. The girls have to make other arrangements for the kids for a week so it will depend on what they can do. The knee has to get done, even I could see the tear when the dr showed me where to look.

I got Mickey mail yesterday. 29 days to go. I am getting excited and looking forward to my vacation.

Not much else going on here. Have a good day.

Hello, Girls!

Holy cow, it's been a busy week! Monday I met with my Girl Scout co-leader and worked out the details of our troop. We'll have a bi-level troop, so she'll take over the Brownie portion and I'll take over the Junior portion. We lost 2 girls, because their mother is a beyotch but we've gained 6 more! We're now at 16 girls! Our first meeting is tonight.

Evan starts Cub Scouts this Thursday, so we had to get his uniform and crap yesterday. He refuses to wear the "official" shorts or pants, though.

Maddie started an art class yesterday. She's been wanting to do this for years, but she's always had Girl Scouts on Tuesday, but now that we're on Wednesdays, she wanted to sign up. She's a happy girl.

I thought once school started, I'd be able to slow down. Apparently not.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Peace!

Hey, everyone!

I've been reading along without quoting, sorry!

Glad to hear everyone's doing (heh, heh, I typed "dong" at first ) well, relatively. Taz, sorry about the surgery, but glad you have a plan.

Jealous of you guys coming up on trips!

TE, how'd it go?

**************************************************
I've had a pretty bad head cold since Monday afternoon. I went to school all that morning to do some volunteering, went for my run/walk, but then collapsed. I felt horrible yesterday, but went ahead and went to my tennis drills because there were only supposed to be 3 of us. It was the best 3, and it was actually great! My favorite pro, and everything. Made it through that, then collapsed again.

I couldn't get comfy going to bed last night, what with the drainage. (Sorry, TMI, I know...) Finally fell asleep after 1:00, then the dog woke me up at 3:45 to go out - he was having issues. I had a hard time falling back to sleep again, then he got me up again just a few minutes before the alarm. So, I went back to sleep after I got the kids on the bus.

I feel a little better now. I had a haircut at noon, and I've been OK since that, for the most part. I'm still stuffy, but not as miserable with it.

I've got to take Woody back to my stylist's for a haircut, too - picture day at school tomorrow. He's once again saying he wants to grow it some, but with a "style" but he's not sure how he wants it to look. Luckily, my stylist had a cancellation after school, so... We'll see how that turns out. I think he's wanting it longer, like the "cool guys" on Nick and the Disney Channel, but he gets so fed up with hair in his face that he cut the bangs himself this summer. So, it's hard to reconcile those ideas...

Anyway, glad it's been a pretty drama free start to the week. Let's keep it up!

Wow, good thing you are breaking into 2 groups. Although Jim has 13 Wolf Scouts and rumor of getting 3 more.

Evan starts Cub Scouts this Thursday, so we had to get his uniform and crap yesterday. He refuses to wear the "official" shorts or pants, though.

Jimmy wears jeans alot of time, depending on what we are doing. I'm lucky becaue they wear navy pants for school so I don't have to buy the "official" pants!

You sound so busy, but the kids will love you for all you are doing for them. I hope we get to see some of Maddie's art projects.

So sorry you aren't feeling well, I have been having horrible sinus issues where I just can't sleep. I hope you continue to feel better.

Hello, sounds like you had a great lunch, I would have done the same thing about not cooking .

For those of you who have stayed at CBR, what didn't you like about it?

Never been there just wanted to say hi!

Hi Kristel and Dawn!!

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

I haven't been on this thread in forever . So much has been going on here.

- In June we spent a couple days with Bill's parents at their vacation home in the Smoky Mountains.

- In July we went to St. Louis to watch the Dodgers play a couple games, my present to him for his 40th birthday).

- In August we saw the Colts at their training camp, thanks to following Jodi. We got to visit with her and her girls. She is such a great person. That night we went to the Indianapolis State Fair and saw KISS. The heat was brutal but it was still fun, this was the other part of Bill's birthday! Bill started a teants association for our building and the other 2 that are owned by the same company. We had to cancel our October WDW trip due to work issues. We extended the Nov/Dec trip into 14 days .

- In September we went to an advocacy meeting in Springfield IL for a board of Directors meeting. We went to a city council meeting about a disability issue. We also had 2 more tenants association meetings. It seems never ending this month .

I am in planning mode for the WDW trip, I need to be there, to feel the magic again, it seems like it has been forever. I am going to be keeping up with this thread from now on. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Morning, Fockers!

Today's my hunny's bday. I've got lots of running around to do between getting his bday stuff together and working on trip stuff.

Have a happy almost weekend day!

 

[sorul82?]

I finally got up the courage to get my hair colored for the first time ever. I went in Monday for a "warm brown." By Tuesday, the top of my hair was red. I went back in last night for a fix and some foils. Now I have orange streaks in my hair.

I have the same problem when I use a warm color. I have to use a green based color to offset the red I already have in my hair.

Disney's making a big announcement about the parks at noon EST

There's a webcast scheduled afterwards.

I just read that Future World will stay open until 9pm starting 10/3, which doesn't help our trip, but is good to know for you all who are going soon.

 

[PrincessV]

For those of you who have stayed at CBR, what didn't you like about it?

Not a single thing! I love the place, and easily place it as my favorite Mod.

I know we already "talked" on FB, but I'm sorry about your hair! Lucky for us brunettes, color oopses are easily fixed, though!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morning all! I can't stay - I've got a freaking TON of work to do for school all of a sudden. 6 more classes, 6 more classes, 6 more classes...

[HomeschoolMama]

Yawn... Still watching the webcast.
"Let the Memories Begin" as the campaign for 2011. I heard Disney's creating interactive ways to share their memories. Here's the website: Memories Site

I'm wondering what all the new campaign will entail...

 

[HomeschoolMama]

So, when people download their pictures and memories, Disney's going to project them on It's a Small World in CA and on Cinderella's Castle in FL. So, the memories you're having that day, may show up that night at the parks for everyone to see.

I'll keep updating...

Here's a link to the story:

[DisneyJo]

Hi everyone, I am around but have no time to say much, sorry

The spa break was wonderful but not long enough oh and we did yoga which almost crippled David His parents were a bit of a PITA, they broke my blind, his Dad ate his breakfast toast whilst walking round the kitchen and conservatory with no plate and lots of other things. Mustn't be ungrateful though

 

[tazdev3225]

For those of you who have stayed at CBR, what didn't you like about it?

I'm staying there for the 3rd time in a year. I absolutely love the resort. The decorations, the rooms, even the walk to Port Royale. The landscaping is beautiful. I have a ton of pics if you want to see any.

Good luck on the surgery. Congrats on the Mickey mail!! I hope you have a great time on your trip.

Thanks. I'll miss you and Bill. I was looking forward to meeting you.

Sorry no time to catch up !!State have left and I still have a job!!!Will chat tomorrow !!

Good to hear.

Today's my hunny's bday.

Happy birthday.

Was that the big news. Nice to know as I'll be there in 28 days.

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

I had a long day yesterday. Mikey's IEP went as I sort of expected. He is no longer going to the preschool 3 days a week. He will go one afternoon for speech therapy. They feel that he has progressed enough that he needs to be around more "normal" kids to get him ready for kindegarten next year. Nice to know after all the preschools have full enrollments. We can try and get him in Head Start but that should have been done last spring. Even though he qualifies because of the special needs there is most likely no room. Mom is going to work with him and he will be re-evaluated in March by the school district for placement next year. The one bright spot is that the teacher does not feel he is autistic. He has developmental issues and is a little OCD but they will be addressed in the spring.

Crystals back to school night was interesting. Her teacher doesn't believe in giving homework. She will get no more than a worksheet or two for the week, and a project every now and then. She'll also start the 100 book club in October. I don't want to see her bogged down with homework but I can see her getting in trouble from boredom. She is getting baby readers and she has been reading beyond that for over a year now. Of course my mom is now determined to work with her and keep her up to her abilities. Should be a very long year.

Other than that it has been a quiet day. Have a good afternoon.

Hmmm....does that mean that my picture with the castle will have pictures of other people on it??
