KristineN said:Hi guys...
we are safe and sound. Thanks for your concern! It has been a crazy couple of days trying to get out of Chicago before the storm hit. We did make it out. We went so last minute...that I did forget a couple of things...but at least we are here and safe. Here are a couple of pics from the Poly. Take care!

Like tonight when I got home I was telling DH that Momboss forgot I was leaving. She actually ALWAYS forgets. And she has had a really stressful week so I can see how she forgot. I told her I left the car seats in the hall for her, and she asked why!I said "Because I am going to Disney World and you will need them!" Luckily I realized what I was about to say to DH and I stopped. And DS was in his room getting some socks so he didn't hear me.
It was hard to come up with a way to tell him. DH wanted to tell him tonight, but I wanted DS to get a good night's sleep. (Unlike me!) So we are going in at 5 AM and telling him that we are leaving for Disney World RIGHT NOW! He'll have 30 minutes to get dressed and put his Game Boy in his backpack. I thought about doing the enchanted phone call from Mickey but since it will be so early in the morning I decided not to. Alarm goes off in 4.5 hours, wake DS in 5.5 hours, leave for the airport in 6 hours, flight in 8.5 hours.I don't actually think we will need an hour to get to remote parking and then to the terminal, but better safe than sorry!
Janet - I'm glad your DH was able to get his truck out without having a crash! You guys be careful!
Kristine - YAY! I'm so glad you all made it out before the storm! Your pics are great! I can't wait to get there and see all the holiday decorations in person!
I'll probably be back before we leave. I still need to print boarding passes.
It was fabulous!!! I had a really nice time. Thanks for asking.tinknme said:
I just called to ask him why he couldn't take a few hours out of his day to come to his son's party and his explanation was "I'm going to have something next weekend". Excuse me, but that doesn't tell me why you can't be here for this party! Now - mind you - today is Nicholas' actual bday, not next weekend, and this is the party that he is sharing with all his friends from school. Luckily Nicholas never asked why daddy wasn't there, but it just makes me want to

We just got back from skating and Nicholas' bday party. The kids all had a great time. I made them go lay down and try to nap for a little while before we head out to the parade tonight. I know, I'm a bad mommy for making Nicholas take a nap in the middle of his bday. But he stayed up later than usual last night, was up earlier than usual this morning, and roller skated for 3 hours. I'd say he's tired!
I told his dad he was welcome to come to the party. Do you think he showed? Of course not!for him.He is such a POS! Sorry for the tirade, but I needed to vent.
bonk on the head to him!

Then I came home and brought a big tote of Christmas decorations up. I think the only way I'm going to decorate this year is a little at a time. I had planned to get a lot done tomorrow, but I've been asked to work now so that cuts my day in half as I need to be there by 3:30 PM. It was too cold and windy to put up anymore outside decorations today so maybe I'll finish that tomorrow. My Dad and Brother left for their hunting trip in North Carolina this morning so Nick and Hunter are staying with Grammy tonight. She's already bored.
