The New Kinder, Gentler Me - The Rubber Chicken is Loose!! Pg 19/#283!!!

[Disneyland_Mama]

Ok, I'm back...I'm sadly not big on energy and wit tonight...as I'm still a bit run down but I'll get as much out as I can...hopefully it won't be TOO much of a let down...

Yeah, right! Nevahhhhh!

I scooted Michael and all of our carry-on's over to the little snack place to have a seat and wait for Tony to be finished provoking security - almost begging for a thorough cavity search. Good luck with that - we're getting a snack! Buh-bye!!

I feel his pain. I HATE security. It's bad enough alone, with toddlers it's a total joke!

Michael and I got a couple of sodas and snacks for the plane and we sat at a little table. Michael, still high on Disney and the excitement of getting on another plane and passersby enjoying his pirate hat.

Ahhh, yes, the Disney high. Maddie & Evan are STILL on it. It's constant, "WDW this.... and WDW that...."

Jeffrey, jeffrey, jeffrey....

I love it!

And suddenly my baby was gone!! The chair tipped forward, the soda - in a magnetic pull - tipped toward the chair, Michael's chin smacked the edge of the table and in one fell swoop he was down.

Poor buddy! He's lucky he didn't split his chin!

I started to ask if he was ok and then 2 big angry arms reached down on the floor and hoisted him up to his feet.

"You are unbelievable", Tony said with this big booming voice...I looked at Tony thinking the same thing about him...Tony continued to not so much yell, as to scold, MY baby boy, who clearly felt bad enough, for not sitting still, etc...I jumped right in and said he was sitting still, he was right in front of me. The chair slipped out from under him! "Oh yeah, sure - it's the chair's fault"...Ok, I've heard enough...

Why do they do this? DH pulls that one with me all the time.

Low and behold, in my magic backpack, which I usually compared to Laura Spencer's carpet bag (anyone get that by the way?) was basically empty. No spare change of clothes...

Why is that name so familiar?? Twin Peaks?? General Hospital?? Where's V when I need her?? Although she did miss the Waynes World quote. Just sayin'.

Finally, I managed to get his pants and shirt, and although the underwear were kinda damp, he refused to part with them. So there he stood in his socks and his Pirates of the Caribbean boxer briefs in the ladies room. And let's face it, in this light...he looked like a rubber chicken. On second thought...keep the underwear.

OMG! That's funny!

B...b....bbut moooommmmm....So we compromised....I get the underwear and he gets to keep the pirate ears hat and stand in a stall and hide.

Well, at least you left him with some dignity!

Imagine our embarrassment...doing our best Elaine Benes impressions and getting BUSTED...

Did you get your thumb just right??

The kid's gonna end up in therapy anyway, right? What more harm could I do??

You are a riot!!!

Anyway, guys I'm beat...need some sleep. Remember where we left off...I'll be back tomorrow!!!

LY/MI

You betcha!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well....

OLD!?! Who you callin old!? (we are the same age btw...)

Pictures? From Cali? ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED!!!!

I'm thinking we all feel seperated at birth cause we all live in the same world, only in different places within it. Your hubby's reaction to your baby falling is exactly why you should never feel guilty leaving him at security

LYMI!

colleen.

 

[PrincessV]

So where were we? Ah yes, Sanford Airport...We had just gotten through security, which was quite fun, thanks to Michael...and as we collected our shoes, etc...the rain came...it POURED...we could see it outside and I just had to point out to my boys that yes, again, I was right...

When will they learn??

BANG, CRASH...

And suddenly my baby was gone!! The chair tipped forward, the soda - in a magnetic pull - tipped toward the chair, Michael's chin smacked the edge of the table and in one fell swoop he was down.

Low and behold, in my magic backpack, which I usually compared to Laura Spencer's carpet bag (anyone get that by the way?)...

You've officially stumped me. I even Googled. All i can think of is Laura Spencer from old school General Hospital, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out the carpet bag part.

Hmmmm...this is a pickle...what to do? I know, I'll dry them with the electric dryer.

Good thinking Mominator!

So we compromised....I get the underwear and he gets to keep the pirate ears hat and stand in a stall and hide.

OMG, what an image!

Imagine our embarrassment...doing our best Elaine Benes impressions and getting BUSTED...

He shrieked like a little girl and ran into a stall and slammed the door and left me holding all the clothes....

The kid's gonna end up in therapy anyway, right? What more harm could I do??

See, now you're just opening the door to who knows what. Sounds a lot like another phrase one should never utter: "It can't get any worse!"

Good to see you back! I sure hope today's an improvement. LY/MI!

 

[PrincessV]

Where's V when I need her?? Although she did miss the Waynes World quote. Just sayin'.

Hey now! The oak and pine trees around here are working their springtime "magic", which means I'm all doped up on benydryl. Not at all on my game this week.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I'm drawing half a black on the carpet bag...

I remember it too but have no idea from where

Morning All!

 

[Lauralee131]

Ok, think back to the big adventure days of Luke & Laura on General Hospital. They were always on the run. Laura had this great burgundy carpet bag that she kept her whole life in and took it everywhere. When not on the run, it was always in the hall closet, full of fake ID's, money, etc. in preparation of being on the run at a moment's notice.

One particular adventure, L & L were in a plane and they were going to have to jump out. But Laura freaked and wouldn't go. So Luke threw her bag out of the plane and she dove out after it yelling "Noooo....my baaaag!!!"

That concludes today's history lesson...

Today's lovely parting gift is NOT another year's supply of rice a roni, but rather another mental picture of Michael, naked with the exception of his Mickey pirate ears and socks, dancing in the bathroom...

Go Michael, it's your birthday...

And yes, Tracy, my thumbs were just right!! In fact, they're actually a bit double jointed so I believe they looked even better than Elaine's!!

 

[sorul82?]

LL,

Your DH needs a timeout!

 

[Lauralee131]

LL,

Your DH needs a timeout!

He sure does! And yet, he insists on coming with us everywhere we go?!?!?!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

You have mad momma skills!

The image of Michael in his Mickey pirate ears and socks hanging out in the stall is just too funny! Poor babes, covered in diet coke...must have been a sticky mess.

Glad you're feeling a bit better.

 

[snowbell]

Just started your report. Great so far. I cannot wait to read more. Michael is sooooo cute

 

[DisneyJo]

Thank you my far away friend!! What a bummer, to be home for 4 days straight and not even the energy to get on line. What a waste! I have missed chatting with you guys!!

We missed you too and last night (your afternoon) nearly did me in I even looked on other sites

DisneyShopping.com emailed me to see if I was ok - they haven't heard from me in a week...Disney Dining called to see if I was planning on cancelling or something since THEY haven't heard from me either...and JC Penney sent me a PLATINUM card (seriously) and a companion airfare ticket for a flight anywhere in the US...

I knew you hadn't lost it

Jeffrey, jeffrey, jeffrey....

Please explain for the stupid Brit!

BANG, CRASH...

And suddenly my baby was gone!! The chair tipped forward, the soda - in a magnetic pull - tipped toward the chair, Michael's chin smacked the edge of the table and in one fell swoop he was down.

Poor Michael, Ellie managed to do this 1 hour in on an 8 hour flight and spent the flight in just her knickers

"You are unbelievable", Tony said with this big booming voice..

I love the description though!

Low and behold, in my magic backpack, which I usually compared to Laura Spencer's carpet bag (anyone get that by the way?) was basically empty. No spare change of clothes...

The only carpet bag I know belongs to Mary Poppins and in case you're wondering no I do not sound like her

Hmmmm...this is a pickle...what to do? I know, I'll dry them with the electric dryer.

Good call have you ever seen how busy the bathrooms are near the rapids in AK?

OMG that's hilarious

Sorry - I'll try not to do that again!!

I knew you hadn't lost it

That's a matter of opinion!

Please explain for the stupid Brit!

The comedian Bill Cosby had a concert/movie come out years ago - you should watch it - very funny and very clean humor - in which part of it he talks about a flight he was on. There was a little boy named Jeffrey who told everyone that he was four years old and was a complete terror the entire flight and every one knew his name because his poor mom kept saying "Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey..." You really should see if you can find it in a video store...Funny stuff...then you'll see what I'm talking about...

The only carpet bag I know belongs to Mary Poppins and in case you're wondering no I do not sound like her

As a matter of fact, I WAS wondering...I was planning on asking you to say a few key phrases for me whilst we're at the bar...

I also ask every Irish person I meet to say "Pink hearts, yellow moons, green clovers" too!!

Good call have you ever seen how busy the bathrooms are near the rapids in AK?

Yep - that's usually where you can find me!!

Are you sure you don't sound like MP??? Whenever I meet someone NOT from California, they always tell me "You have such a California accent!" What does that mean? OMG! I just thought about it, I hope I don't sound VALLEY!!!

I also ask every Irish person I meet to say "Pink hearts, yellow moons, green clovers" too!!

They're always after me lucky charms!!

A title may help I love Bill Cosby grew up with the Cosby show, DD's have started watching the reruns as they love to see Raven in it!

As a matter of fact, I WAS wondering...I was planning on asking you to say a few key phrases for me whilst we're at the bar...

What would you like me to say? Do you all get an idea in your head what we all sound like? Are we all in for a surprise!

They're always after me lucky charms!!

Wow great Irish accent

Whenever I meet someone NOT from California, they always tell me "You have such a California accent!" What does that mean? OMG! I just thought about it, I hope I don't sound VALLEY!!!

Like OMG! I was totally hoping that you do sound Valley!

Don't worry Tracy you won't sound Valley to me as I haven't got a clue what that is

 

[sorul82?]

So, if I said, "Like totally gag me with a spoon," you would be totally confused?

We will definately need a translator

Jo, go rent the movie "Valley Girl" with Nicholas Cage. It's an old 80's movie, but it'll help you understand "Valley" talk. It's a riot!

Have you ever seen the show "The O.C." They speak my native language, Valley/OC dialect.

Like OMG! I was totally typing the same thing! I totally fell in love with Nicholas Cage after watching that movie. Yes, I go for the somewhat weird bad boy types.
