It is very crowded, but going to WDW anytime is great!

I am considering homeschooling my 4 year old for the first few years. We have a great school but....... one thing is she's the baby and I don't know if I will be ready for her to go to school. And the other main thing is we have neighbors (they moved in about a year ago) and they have a son who will be in the same grade as my baby, and he is a terror. I learned that early on. He knows things a little kid shouldn't know (not in a good way). I don't let her play with him anymore. (which is difficult because I am convinced he sits outside and waits on her to walk out the door) everytime she goes outside he runs over here, even if we are going out to get in the car to leave. I just really don't want her to have much exposure to him. I know things aren't the little boys fault but, I don't want it around my baby. I'm too protective, I know. (maybe I should make an appointment for that other kind of therapy, while I am therapizing) How do you guys like my new word-therapizing?? By the time I get this posted this discussion will be two pages old, and everyone will have logged off, and I will be just talking to myself.... ok, posting now.

Well, is there only one class for her to be in? Or are there more than one? Maybe you could request that your DD not be in the same class as him. Or maybe you could talk to the teacher to see that your DD is not seated anywhere near him. But only you know what is best for your children.

For me, I could not homeschool because my kids need a break from me!!!

Oh CHRISTMAs break. I was somehow thinking you were wanting to convince DH to go during the meet time. Yeah I agree with Bon. Christmas break is probably the most expensive time to go (holiday rates at the resorts) and it is packed. If you do go, I suggest signing up with Tour Guide Mike to learn the strategy of getting around all those people!

What's a turtle back book?

 

[jaycns]

Yesterday I went into the dentist...I had hours worth of work to be done so I opted for the oral sedation method (sitting in a dentist chair for hours is my idea of h-e-double hockey sticks). I had ground my teeth and night, popped out three fillings from doing that and had damage to my other teeth.

Well, I told them I only wanted the silver fillings done on the back teeth and that the repair work could be done with that too. When I brushed my teeth last night before bed I saw that they used the more expensive composite tooth filling...my dh just paid what they billed him yesterday (with the sedation I was in no shape to double check anything)...so I went in search of the reciept he got and saw they charged him for the composites...I have the estimate I got last week when I went in and got the work scheduled and my teeth evaluated (they hurt every morning and I couldn't figure out why...guess the grinding explains that). My estimate lists the cheaper fillings. My verbal agreement on that date was also for the cheaper fillings.

I was peeved last night over this and didn't sleep so well being worried about what to do.

**more to this story**

I used to be dental phobic. Seriously HATED going. But I like my dentist. I trust him and those in his practice EXCEPT for this new dentist that changed my treatment plan (for a non medical reason, color choice is not an emergency we had to do it and it was unforseen) without my permission or that of my husband. GRRRRRR.

I know I need to say something...but I don't want to burn any bridges...I also don't want to pay for something I didn't want and didn't approve of. I am not letting them take them out though...NO WAY...NO HOW!! And, I can clearly see one of the cracks is not even filled in (yes, I was grinding them that hard). AHHHH...I want to complain about the new associate...but I don't want to have to find a new dentist after that.

There is only one class per grade usually. (very small school)
I am kinda hoping they will lose the house and have to move. They told us they have already filed bankrupcy twice, so it's a possibility, right? (is that aweful?, does it make me a terrible person? do you think I can still be a teacher with hopes like that?? )
How can you file bankrupcy twice? How can you file bankrupcy twice and still buy a nice house?? They probably lied, never filed bankrupcy, and will live there forever... They are quite odd, so it's highly possible they lied to get my hopes up. Ok, now I'm losing it.

Ok, thumbing through the phone book now, looking for that therapy I mentioned before.

Amazon Prime is amazing! You get free 2 day shipping Sarah! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to participate and buys a lot of books-like me

whoa too weird-please tell me you edited your post sarah. Otherwise I think I'm going insane. Not that this is a new thing.
How can we help convince your DH?

yeah I did, cuz I saw your post. I'm such a know-it-all!

that is really cool.

Okay, so I'll tell you our story so you can help.

Most of you know that DH's mom passed away back home while we were at WDW in January. I really want to go back to WDW, because we stayed and it was horrible.

DH's christmas break from school starts on the 15th. So I want to fly out on the 17-24th (flights are WAY cheaper on the 24, than the 22 or 23.) DH doesn't want to go cuz he thinks he'll need to be around his family before Christmas (it was her absolute favorite time of the year). But we won't get together until late Christmas Eve and then on the big day. We'll be home on Christmas Eve by 4pm barring any weather issues, which are intirely possible coming from FL to Cleveland.

Part of me wnats to do everything to convince him and part thinks he's right. DH is already caving though. If he was really serious, I wouldn't press it.

We're taking my parents, his dad and his sister out tonight to celebrate the new job, so I was thinking about talking to FIL and SIL about what they think. (with DH's approval of course). I know his family will tell him to go. His mom would've wanted him to.

But should we take the chance of getting stuck and missing what we really should be there for?

Such a dilemma.

 

[jaycns]

Sorry, Sarah. I think people are KOOKS to go over Christmas break, spring break, summer break, etc. WAY TOO CROWDED!! And expensive. I will always take time off work to do WDW trips.

Me too!! I hate the crowds...then again, I am just a hater of lines anywhere. So paying all that money to stand in them would burn me up. BUT...I know that some people love the "vibe" of all lots of people there and the extra stuff Disney offers during peak times (ie no closed rides being repainted, more entertainment options, etc) is a great plus. So, I get it, but I wouldn't do it

 

[magicmirror]

Jay, I would definitely say something, before paying for it. Maybe they will see the mistake and reduce the charges.

I didn't know about your DH's mother. I'm so sorry. Sarah. I think that you guys should all talk it over, and do what feels right. If it's not the right time to go, then maybe you could go another time. Plus, it's going to be crowded and expensive. You wouldn't want to have a miserable trip!

 

[Bbgrizzle]

I need to go. I'm gonna make the girls some lunch and try to take a nap, or at least read or watch TV in bed. Me no feel so good.

Bye!!

PS someone on another thread has a DH who was supposed to fly out of Heathrow today. He is stranded right now. She is sure breathing a sigh of releif!

Awww...shucks...you poor things (both of you). I had a temp. brain freeze on what had happened over your last visit. If Disney is something you both love, I would say to go for it. If you think it will help him heal in even the smallest way and you are sure that his family won't feel badly (or more aptly make him feel badly about his decision) then go for it!! I would worry about a 12/24 flight and something coming up that prevented me from getting home for Christmas. However, I might just take that chance. Then again, I would do a lot to go to WDW .

Did you guys change your minds about a cruise after he got the new job?

 

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

Bye, Bonnie! Me hopes you feels better!


Does anyone know what a turtleback book is? Sarah? Minty?

 

[Princess Mindy]

Jay I agree with Michelle. They shouldn't be doing things you don't want done and if you're disatisfied with the service you should let them know. I don't think it will damage your relationship with your dentist. He has a right to know and if you don't say something he won't know to fix it and it'll keep happening

I totally feel ya! I had braces for 5 years, plus retainers and junk for 3 more. So I was at the dentist like every month for 8 years!
I HATE the dentist!!

I just had composite fillings put in. I agree you need to get your money back!

 

[magicmirror]

Sarah- I am really sorry to hear about your DH's Mom.

Bonnie- Have a nice nap. I hope you feel better when you get up.

 

[jaycns]

Jay, I would definitely say something, before paying for it. Maybe they will see the mistake and reduce the charges.

Dh already wrote the check yesterday for our "estimated portion" of the treatment. I know insurance will kick that charge back cause they won't pay for white composite on back teeth...I have no need of it and now I am getting all scared cause I have to go back today and get my bite ground down (I couldn't feel my teeth, gums or tounge yesterday thus I was unable to do the bite test to see if it was right). I also saw that crack still unfilled and the plan was to fix it all and that is what they told DH had happened. AND I have this spot rubbing my cheek raw. Seriously, this was all with the new dentist he added within the past three months and I have gone to this practice for YEARS with no problems before yesterday. I am just fuming and upset and scared and p.o.ed all at the same time.

 

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

Michelle- Do you know what a turtleback book is?

 

[harleyquinn]

Bye, Bonnie! Me hopes you feels better!


Does anyone know what a turtleback book is? Sarah? Minty?

A Prebound book represents a paper book (either Trade Paper and Mass Market) purchased directly from the publisher which is then rebound with a hard cover. This category of binding offers the combination of hard cover durability but with a lower price than other hard cover books. Turtleback books feature a cover with matte-finish laminate over high-strength binder board, computer-enhanced cover art and Tyvek® reinforced spines.

That's from my book vendor. HTH!

Feel better Bonnie!! I hope you have a nice afternoon.
