Hi Mickeymorse, nice to hear from you!
Thanks for the inquire about my daughter. Four more days and she will be at Tokyo DL and Seas. She posts on a live journal, so maybe I could post a picture or two. Your vacation sounds fun! We used to camp a lot with our kids and other families. Lakes are the best.
Add ons are addictive, be careful! Spendy, but priceless

Granny, are you there safe and sound? Bet you're sleeping by the pool after that long haul.

Maria, its time for us to start your send off countdown!

Have a good weekend groupies.

Deb

Maria, its time for us to start your send off countdown!

Whoo-hoo Deb !!! I'm next ! Can't believe it !!!!

 

[Muushka]

Yay Maria, for being next!! ​

Packed yet???

Granny??? Are we there yet????​

 

[MiaSRN62]

Packed yet???

Not yet Muushka! I am seriously stressing. Not only do I have to pack for vacation, but also to move my dd into college. I will be power-packing on Tuesday (the only day I really have off). I have off from work on Fri, Aug 1 as well, but we're throwing a "going away to college" party for my dd and her friends that day. This is a seriously difficult week for me......as I'm sitting here typing on the DIS, I'm waiting for the 4th or 5th load of laundry to be ready for the dryer.......

Maria,

I've found the really worst part of sending that first one off is the lead up.
Once they are there and settled, you'll feel some peace about it.
Hope that's true for you too. And remember, lots of trips to Florida for you!

Hope you're right Deb.....the stress is coming more from my dd. Not only is she being hit in the face with the realty of moving to FL (1,000 miles from home), but her boyfriend and she broke up 10 days ago. It's a nasty combination. He was her first bf and she's taking it hard. She feels like everything is changing too fast. I can barely utter the word "Florida" without her getting upset. So I'm trying to deal with my emotions as well as my daughter's. I am hoping once we're there it will be better. It's almost like staying here in our town, all she is thinking about is losing her bf and soon all her friends and life as she knows it here. I could go on....but won't bore you all.
Hoping some disney magic helps to relieve some stress and that some quality family time with all of us together at the same time will help as well.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Deb.........

Poor Moms and their kiddos growing up. It must be wonderful/difficult all at the same time. Maria, your poor daughter. I'm sorry. I hope your vacation to the Magic Place is extra magical.

Granny, are we there yet????

Sorry to hear about your DD and XBF. Not the greatest time for additional turmoil. Hope she bounces back quick. I can only imagine what mom must be going through. Remember what blossomz said, and think of the trips down Hope the rest of the week goes smoothly.

Its all about the memories. Those are things that can never be taken away.

Would love to see a pic of Tokyo DL. Hope DD is still having the time of her life.

Tomorrow is my 180 day window. Would love some moose dust for a ressie at Cinderellas Royal Table. I guess all other ressies won`t be done til Oct I can just imagine the chaos with everyone trying to book soon as it re-opens. I think we will just wing it.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Deb, Muushka, Mickeymorse....thanks so much for the kind words !

Deb...I also hope your dd is having a wonderful adventure !

Mickeymorse....you sure do have Moose Dust from me for Cindy's Royal Table !

Our daughter left for college in 2001. Spent 4 years in college and 4 years in graduate school - now she's back! Somehow, they always return She'll be leaving again next Spring when she marries... (and honeymoons at VWL!!)
Enjoy your time together.

Mickeymorse: Here's moosedust for those reservations! Good Luck!

My 20 year old spends his weeks in Philly and his weekends and summers at home! Go figure.. Somehow I guess home IS where the heart is. Hang in..you never know!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks guys for the cheering up and emotional support ! Can't tell ya how much I appreciate it. This vacation is going to be special. It's going to be bittersweet......gonna be a tough plane ride back home to Philly......

So true Blossom, I went to the University of Pittsburgh and the year after I started, Peoples airlines (anyone remember that one) just started flying from Pittsburgh to newark airport for $19.00 bucks. I remember coming home one time and my next door neighbor asking my Dad if he missed me. His reply "Miss her, how can I miss her, she's always home " I don't think it was until I was married with kids did I think of anyplace else as "home"

Thanks guys for the cheering up and emotional support ! Can't tell ya how much I appreciate it. This vacation is going to be special. It's going to be bittersweet......gonna be a tough plane ride back home to Philly......

Bunches of hugs for you Mia
If you want I can send Sid & Rizzo over for a week. They've been home now for 5 weeks and soon I'm going to have to start selling blood to feed them. Some how Rizzo feels 1 lb of sausage, 6 eggs and a 64 oz of OJ is a normal everyday breakfast.

Enjoy the world. Where are you staying?

 

[mickeymorse]

Thanks for the Moose dust everyone. Got our ressie for Jan 27th. My daughter will be happy.

Eliza, my 2 aren't to the teenage yrs yet so the grocery bill hasn't skyrocketted.

Gotta go and run 5 miles before the heat gets too high. Have a great day all.
