to you. I'm so glad you felt comfortable enough to share your son's story with you. I hope you had a better day today.
Our public schools started Aug 6, and most of the preschools have started as well, but DD doesn't start until Sept 7. 
First off: a big
Cheese and crackers, you all have been busy posting this past week! I think I'm all caught up now. Great time at the beach although the humidity was wayyyyy up there and that's not my favorite thing. Rained all day last Wednesday while DD and DGD were there, we shopped and walked on the beach in the rain that day.
Did lots of bike riding and swimming and my left knee feels almost as good as new except for a little tightness now and then.
The My Disney Girl doll that I had ordered for DGD10's birthday this coming Tuesday arrived. She's going to absolutely love her and I'm sure that the doll will be coming with us in November.I got the blonde haired doll, she's dressed in little denim shorts with "Walt Disney World" on the pocket, matching blue denim shoes, a pink Mickey shirt, and a pink and black ear hat. The included accessories are a pink fanny-pack with WDW printed on it, a tiny princess autograph book, a lanyard with a Minnie pin on it. SO cute! I'm really excited to see her face when she opens it on her birthday.
So many of us November travelers, isn't that wonderful!
Sheila - Thank you for sharing your son's story. I hope it helped to "talk" about him with us. I can't even begin to imagine your struggle, but I applaud you for your plans to let a balloon go up to him in heaven at Splash Mtn. I am quite sure I'll be looking for that balloon drifting upward the whole time I'm at MK.
Am I the only one who gets freaked out as the countdown gets smaller and smaller? Might be because I am in charge of every single thing, husband's share is getting into the passenger seat on the appointed day, and just get frantic at all that I have to do.
When that wonderful day comes and the car is loaded, house is cleaned and locked up, and I see the garage door come down, looking at it twice to make sure, and I pull out of the driveway I breathe a sigh of relief and relax,until Atlanta.
I grin from ear to ear when I pass the Disney sign, coming in the backway. Life does not get better than that EXCEPT for when I am unpacked and over at MK getting on the monorail for our annual monorail tour of the Christmas decorations.
Sheila, I have been thinking of you and your story the past few days. It was so nice of you to share. Makes those of us who have difficult children appreciate our situation a bit more. May your days get better and the memories sweeter.

, we were in KMart and we passed a display of Sunny Delight one of my DS favorite things to drink from the time he was little, since Ddil went to NY to be with her mother and grandmother we babysat the dogs Trixie and Max- we bought Max for my son 3 years ago for his birthday, DH slept on the couch with the dogs Saturday Night, it is funny the things that you find comfort in.

Hello fellow November Planners. I will be heading back to WDW for the second time this year Nov 13-18th. I will be spending the first day alone, and the next 3 days with my MIL and then the last 2 days solo! I cannot wait to see the castle lights, attend MVMCP (solo
Oh no, you are not the only one freaking out. I just pushed my trip up 4 months. I had to fight off a bout of hyperventilation Saturday when it really sank in that we are less than 90 days out! I have a LOT of sewing to get done for this trip, and until last week I thought I had 6 months to do it. I have done customs for DD for every trip, so now it is an expected thing. I am seriously scrambling with that on top of all of the other "oh man, I need to get _____ done for the trip".Am I the only one who gets freaked out as the countdown gets smaller and smaller?

I have blown off all these and immersed myself in the wonderful world of ADRs, booking and cancelling, for our change in travel dates. Our new dates are November 27 though Dec 3 at WL. I refuse to reset my ticker though! 
I dont want to look like just started my countdown. Ive come too far! My husband just told me "you'll have a hard time being ready for Christmas now that we are going a week later." Oh no he didnt! Dont challenge an over-organized Dis'er that she wont make a deadline! Ill see that bet and raise you four tye-dyed Mickey shirts, three personalized pillowcases, two autograph books...and a partridge in a pear tree!Where is everyone today? Well, now that its after midnight, I guess that would be yesterday. Busy making your lists?... or soccer practice chauffeur, back to school schedules, laundry, cleaning, or (insert one of the million chores we do during the week.)
I like to coordinate colors so that almost any top will match any pant, etc. This trip's colors are red, white and black. I picked both long and short sleeve, shorts, cropped pants, skirts and leggings. Now I'll just wait until closer to the trip to see if I need to add/subtract based on really warm or cold temperatures.
I will send this out into the universe to make today better (well, up I-79 anyway
)
