Good Morning! I'm off to read the posts from last night.

I bought all my things for the sewing class yesterday, and this little tote bag is going to cost me like $60.00! I don't even pay that much for a purse!

Good Morning Hyenas!!!

Sarah, there are times when it doesn't pay to "sit and sew." But I guess you have to think about it, as the whole learning experience...ay??

Shawna,

You must be trying to make ressies for the world. That was the hardest thing to me about WDW. What, when and where, and how does it fit into the whole schedule of the parks. Early entry, extented hours, shows, fireworks. It sure does boggle the mind!! But, who am I to tell this to our WDW mascot??

Have a good day. I'm off to exercise my bones, so they stay strong! (And maybe my butt will benefit from it too.)

YES I am! Cinderella's Royal Table to be exact right now. Now I'm thinking 10:10 will be perfect because after 4 days of getting up very early we might want to take it easy and stroll on into breakfast.

Cindy's was the only one I was really concerned about but this week I am going to make all 7 of them plus the 3 activities, pirate cruise, child care etc for the kids but I know I can change those if I need to. Not cinderellas. I have to rethink my days though since I just cut into the AK time!

Oh and its VERY different going down as a run of the mill tourist. I'm trying not to call in any favors from my CM friends but I might have to. I realize how spoiled we were back then!!!!!

I'm not used to paying and reserving everything so far ahead. When we wanted Cinderellas we called to see if they had any cancellations and told them we were CM's and they would squeeze us in THAT DAY! We used to hang on the balcony of the Hoop de doo in the back and watch the show for free. I've seen Cirque Du Soliel for free twice as well. That one gives me a headache paying for too! I'm being a baby!

Don't know why but I've been totally craving popcorn this week. I just finished dinner, but I'm already thinking about making some popcorn.

Over the weekend DBF's sister (the one I like) came over with some popcorn kernals. I have never made popcorn this way, only the micorwave kind. It's too much work!

Taking it easy just isn't in my vocabulary. I'm not overdoing it, I'm not lifting anything heavy or physically hurting myself. I went to Fred Meyer at lunch today and bought a few groceries. I had the lady make sure the bags were 10 pounds or lighter. She's really nice and works by herself at the back exit, so I know her real well. She was surprised to see me looking so good. But I swear she put 1 item in each bag!

So....ready for the good news! My doctor ok'd me to go to DL at the end of the month. However, I'm not allowed to swim and he said only if I feel really, really good. He also said no rides like Space Mt. I'm still just going to wait and see how I feel. Right now, I think it would be pushing it a bit, but who knows how I'll feel in a couple of weeks.

Awesome!

I never suspected YOU for a fellow TMZer!!

TMZ is the 2nd web site I check every morning!

besides my last name is Arroyo...how sad would it be if i couldnt roll them???

My dad is Guatemalan but you would never know it by looking at me. I am straight white. My sister is on the darker side. I remember he tried to teach us Spanish when we were little but we didn't know what he was saying so we just ignored him. My BFF laughs at me becasue I don't even say my own last name correctly. It's Cabrera, I can't roll the r's either.

Ohh, I don't feel so hot. I just ate a Big box of Hot Tamales while I was catching up. They tasted good while I was eating them but now my stomach hurts.

I read about that but I remember seeing that it cost an awful lot too

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Ok I got the last table at 10:10am. I might try again for another day. We wanted earlier. I'll have to think about this. This day was supposed to be the AK day. and that really cuts into it. I just called dh about it and he said it was too early to think about his own breakfast today let alone what he is going to have 6 months from now.

I pretty sure this was listed under the free demonstrations. I don't know if they will be giving samples or not but it will be neat to watch.

Good morning, hyenas!
(O "Hola, chicas!" porque no se la palabra espanol que significa "hyena"!)

OK, the Spanish is probably getting a little annoying for those of you who aren't following, so I'll stop now. At least until Lynn gets here and blows me out of the water with her fancysmakin' linguistic skills.

This morning was sunny. For about 5 minutes. Pretty much while I needed to drive east (gaaaahhh! Can't see!!!) and now it's gone. Just the way it is around these parts.

I'm also a typical Northwesterner. Whine when we don't get sun, complain about it when we do. Poor weatherman just can't win!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Sure, if you teach me some spanish

Careful, pix. I bet Lynn knows all the bad words!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

If she can call me pookie, I can call her snookums. Would you like one too? You can be my little snuggle bunny! Actually... That is Mikalahs nick name. how about doodle bug.

Awww, I missed this last night!

Friends of ours called their little girl "Stinkerbell", which I thought was so cute and funny. So I call DS3 my little "Stinkbug".

Oh, and you know how we were talking about King beds and sleeping with kids in the bed? Ds3 was back in bed with us last night (dang it!), and DS7 woke early, so crawled in on Daddy's side of the bed. DH usually goes to work before we even get up, but went in late today to walk DS7 to school as a special treat.

So there we were, all four of us snuggled up together. DS3 rolls over and coos, "Hi, Daddy", and gives him a beautiful little smile. DH smiles back and coos, "Hi, [DS3]." DS3 scoots over toward me, grabs my face in his little hands and says, "Mama, Daddy stinks!"

WOW, such a tender, beautiful moment, over like THAT!!!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Moto, how's the fire in your belly? Hope those Hot Tamales have cooled down a bit.

And the lesson is: Hot Tamales do not a good breakfast make! Try Mike & Ike's next time!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

I was trying to reach 2000 post but I got stuck on the Disney Tattoos thread. I really want one but I'm a chicken. There are som really neat ones on there.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Get crackin', missy! You should be able to break that by lunchtime!
Quit reading, start yapping!

What Ladies Only events are you participating in?

I have had the WORST morning!

Ok so we have 2 car seats for Jake. He is in a booster seat as he would not ever sit in a 5 point harness anymore. Somehow one got left at my moms house and Jeff took mine last night but forgot to put it in my van this morning. He had the Panera President coming this morning so he could not leave to bring it home so I had to make a tough choice and throw him in the car buckled up without a seat to take him to morgans school. The school is in our neighborhood like 2 blocks away so that wasnt really a big deal I dont have to go on any major streets.

my moms house is 1.8 miles away from my house but i have to travel 1/4 mile on a major road to get there. So after we drop off Morgan I head over there. I'm so nervous because I'm really psycho about car safety and have never had him outside of his seat. He thinks this is cool so he's up on his knees and all and I'm begging him to sit down. To say the least I was distracted when I should have been focusing and I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME! this was right before the major road in my neighborhood.

It was this rolling stop situation right and I looked in the mirror at him and my heart was pounding anyway and BOOM I smacked the lady in front of me.

Luckily no one was hurt. I was freaking out thinking the police were going to come and take Jake away because he was not in a car seat. I just knew that was going to happen!

So there was no damage to her car except scraped paint. I tried not to let her know I had a child who was not properly strapped in because I was worried she might really call the police on me.

my bumper is cracked but since there was barely any damage to her car she didnt even want my name. She said she was ok and left without getting any info.

I parked the car and walked home bawling but halfway home I realized I really should get it together and take him to school so we walked to my moms and got the car seat then walked back and put him in it. I ended up dropping him off at preschool 1 hour and 15 minutes late. I wasnt going to take him but I thought it might do him some good to be away from his mom who was still crying hysterically over what he called the "fun bumper cars".

So I know it was no big deal and it would have been a minor thing but I was so nervous without a car seat. I took it as Karma telling me NOT to go on the major road so that is why we ended up walking the rest of the way and i carried him the whole way.

Jeff pointed out they would have written me a ticket or driven me to my moms to get the seat to check the story out that they would not have actually TAKEN him but when my heart was racing I didnt believe that.

Somehow after I dropped him off I managed to go to WW and i gained 2 lbs so just add that to the day as well.
