The Ya Ya WDW Resort (and Spa) ***NOW CLOSED***

[isyne4u]

My mom just went to pick Jar up and run some errands so i thought I'd come by really quick to say hi. I read through the last 8 pages and i see everyone is doing well and survived the storms this weekend. I see trips are planned and happening and all my yaya's are ready for the summer.

Ethan is cooperating, bp...well that's another story. It was high all weekend but I think that was because I became pretty depressed on Saturday and stayed that way most of yesterday. I'm very frustrated watching my mom take care of jarrod (she is doing a great job...but I hate that I can't help) and she is getting the nursery ready as well as my room (imagine the messiest 13 year old and you will see my room!! hehehe...mom tried to teach me to put things away!) Then on Saturday Jarrod's other grandma and aunt, uncle, and cousin took him to Water Country USA. I was upset becuase I really wanted to take him and I even found a bathing suit to wear with the belly! My would have been inlaws have all been really great the last few days, they are worried and have been calling to check on me every couple of days.

It's now mOnday and the Pity party is over. I went to the doc today and the bp was incredibly high, but they had also just told me that the Nonstress Test on the baby had to be repeated tomorrow because he wouldn't move around enough for them. I know he is active, but this morning he slept right through the tricks to make him move. In fact the buzzer they used to wake him up actually lulled him back to sleep!! hehehe The dr. said we will not go until July 6. I'm thinking maybe 2 weeks and then we will deliver. I think he wants to get to 35 or 36 weeks and then take him. I'm okay with that now and the issue of the VBAC is null and void! so all that stress is gone!

After my appt. we went out to lunch so I got to see the real world for a bit!!

So to sum up this entire missive....all is well and I feel good and Ethan is doing just fine. I will check in when I can to see whassup!! Safe travels to all who will travel this week and weekend.

Oh and Karen, the nurse loved my light up flip flops, she wanted to know where I got them. I told her from a very nice yaya in florida!!!

later,
tara

I am hoping for a happy soul upon completing this!

For thosewho have putup with my venting aobut my mom,I thank you for listening and for beign supportive! For those of you who have lost your mothers....I think I understand!!

When I started this journey of yet another surgery, I had high hopes of being mothered and taken care of. Funny ow quickly things have changed and I find myself being the one to try to do the mothering! It makes me sad to have lost my mother!!

The explanations of why it is important to bathe daily, and no mom, the shower before going into the pool doesn't count, and the countless times I finding myself asking or commanding my mother's attention and to listen, bring me back to my childhoood! Remembering my mom saying these very things to me!!

Trying to explain that throwing the pot holder at the smoke detector will not make it go off and cookies are not baked at 450 seem to be so petty, but so huge!!

It is so hard to sit here and see this and not be able to anything!! I have tried so hard to tolerate it, or find humor in it...to no avail! It just plain sucks!!

For those who still ahve their mom's arond..let them know how much you appreciate them! For those of you who don't, think a happy thought about your mom and know that you are loved!! I am going ot try not to vent... I am jsut gonna try to think happy thoughts about the mom I once knew!!

Thanks for listening!!

Very well put Liz. I think that we all want to be mothered at some time or another. My family has been wonderful during my recovery, but it wasn't a bed of roses at my house either.

Perhaps that's why spa treatments are so well liked by people who have tried them. For a while, you are pampered and babied. Your well being is the most important thing in the whole world at that moment. Believe it or not, that's why I actually enjoy my physcial therapy. Even though I get a bit beat up during my session, it always ends with an ankle massage and a nice cold ice pack.

Hope your soul feels better now. I know that mine does. Thanks for your thoughtful words about moms.

Eeegads! I still haven't been able to ketchup.

Liz, that colorbook picture was so fun to receive! Thank you. It is on the refrigerator of honor with the best mag-a-net we've got. I know you've been a "good girl" even stayed in the lines this time. Hmmm, why is it I don't picture you always staying in the lines?

I have tons to do tonight, I still want to ketchup, probably a bit here and there.

DS 1 left with a clean room and came back to a clean room.
DS 2 left with a very untidy room and was sad that the fairy didn't make it all clean for him. He wished it was clean because by the time he finished unpacking it was a HUGE mess (which he will probably step over for the rest of time).

Our room/house was barely passable when we left and still is barely passable. Must do something about that sometime.


Later YaYas...

Well recieved a very nice piece of art today in the mail! It was from our very own Liz......We shall immediately and with much reverence hang it in our place of honor on the fridge. Thanks Liz!
I want to pack all my stuff right now but its stuff we wear daily so no big packing til Sat am. My best friend is going to drive us to the airport--I didnt really want to leave my car there for 2 weeks. I worry about my baby.
Tara sorry your BP wont cooperate Hopefully you can make it through a couple more weeks.

 

[helenabear]

Not too chatty... just tired...

Nice new sig, Nancy

John, PT can be very nice even though it does beat you up... I found that... good friendly people who beat you but make you feel good... strange but true for me.

Tara, I really wish you and Ethan well... take care of yourself and the precious boy

Well wishes to you all...

I did it! I'm all ketched up, but now way too tired to say anything. I finished all the wash, well one more blanket. Mom just told me that tomorrow her Cleveland Clinic time is for 7:30 a.m. first appointment time. Wowzers! I must sleep. It will be a day for sure as I am the one who is taking her. One good thing is that we will probably miss the rush hour traffic. We go before rush hour! Must take out the pups and get it all put to bed for the night. She will be given the new drug choice that comes after Tamoxofin. I can't remember the name of it, but at least we have done our research and agree with her and the doc that it seems a great opportunity to be able to have this new treatment.

Good night YaYas...

knock-knock...anybody home?! My goodness, these last 2 days just went wssst--GONE!! Our bell choir had to ring at both church services yesterday, then we ran home for a quick lunch and to throw together a jello salad for a pot luck. Then back to church for the children's choir spring musical "Samson--or How God Brought Down the House". It was positively awesome and the kids were just sooooo sweet and adorable!! Absolutely NOTHING better than a bunch of 5-10 year olds puttin' on a Broadway show stopper!! Back home to pick up the jello salad then back to the church for a going away party for a long time member who has been a very good friend to me. Whew!! What a day!! Today, it was more internet research--I'm almost finished, thank goodness! I gave up trying to read the stuff, it's so far over my head. Bell choir practice tonight was grueling--we have 4 pieces that have to be ready to present on Handbell Sunday, June 13th.

The best part of the weekend, though, was our choir director's kids! They are going to WDW next week and I took on the job of keeping the excitement at a fever-pitch for the last few weeks! The twins are 3 years old and the one sitting with her grandfather yesterday yelled, "There's that lady!" when she saw me and jumped all over me when I came over. When the other one joined us, she, too, had to give me a big hug and tell me all about how they are going to stay at Paw-Paw's house! Then Sara, our director told me all about the postcards that arrived from WDW, addressed to the girls, from Pooh and Eeyore, Mickey and Minnie. "Why, no!" I protested, innocently! "I don't know anything about it!!" I had gotten some autographs on postcards for them, added a line about "We can't wait to see you" and sent them when I was there 2 weeks ago. What excitement those cards invoked!!! And what joy I felt, seeing those little faces glowing with anticipation!! It just doesn't get any better than being able to share the love!!

Happy Birthday, Lily! I almost missed it and hope it was a great one. Glad you had a great trip and now another?!! Whoo-hooo!!

Todd-glad to hear you got things worked out with the radio station. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the concert and the beach!

Liz, I received some of your wonderful artwork today! Dizzy is thrilled that you sent a picture of her great-aunt Dingy! What you wrote about your mom was so poignant. So, so true. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

Kristy, hope you have found time to study for that test and that it's becoming clearer to you. I know accounting can be a real stumbling block for some people.

Nancy, I understand liking t-storms, but at night? If it keeps me from sleeping, it makes me cranky!! But I love to watch the heat lightning in the summer. Just so cool to see Mother Nature's "laser light show"! Lily just looks soooo adorable in her jammies. I will have to get a pic of Dizzy in hers and they can have a slumber party! Is Lily good with hair? Poor Dizzy was complaining that she couldn't do anything with hers!

Aww, geez, it's bedtime now, so I will have to finish my ketchup tomorrow. If I don't close up shop, I'm gonna have a cranky DH!!
Night, all!! Keeping ya'll in my prayers with special ones for those of you who need them!

 

[2bemarried]

Liz.... you said exactly what I've been feeling for a while in regards to our moms. I'll give mine an extra big hug when I see her Saturday. Thanks

Beth....I think I'm FINALLY understanding it But you're in my address book for when I get stuck again...I know it'll happen.
OMG....that was SO nice of you to thrill the little ones with postcards from the characters.

Amanda I hope you're feeling better and that the doctor gave you some good meds.

xoxoxoxoxox to all

 

[p-nut]

Hi all

Tara I hope you are listening to your DR and are staying in bed and getting lots of rest.

Beth you are sooo sweet. That was a wonderful thing you did for those kids.

Shep and Amanda I hope everything is working out for your trip and everyone is feeling ok.

I was outside doing some yard work this evening and I looked up and had four bats circling overhead. After seeing Van Hesling took this as a sign that I was done for the evening and grabbed my stuff and ran.

 

[shep]

Geez...
Can't sleep..getting up at 4...
I'm paranoid about not waking up...
Mandy said one of the strangest things today...
She has been scratching down there and said she wished she had Cassie's ******...(can i say that here?)..
Poor thing...Her medicine is gone and we have been using stuff that you use on babies(can't think of the name)...
Is this a yeast infection??
Any recommendations?
Amanda got her meds & everythings a go...We won't get our $$ for 4-6 weeks..thats okay though...
I'm also a little skeered about flying to Chicago on a small plane..like a 50 seater...
Sorry to be a blabber and a non-ketchuper..

 

[shep]

I got to read the Wilson Phillips concert thing and it seems like just about anyone will be able to do a meet & greet thing with them... ..oh well, hopefully I'll at least get a picture with them...okay give me the..

 

[Meriweather]

Hi Todd......I can't sleep before a trip either
At least you should be laying down and resting.
How long are you going to be gone?
Have a great time....relax and enjoy it.

Beth......Lily doesn't have much experience with doing hair. She doesn't have very much. She has to use her ears to hold her bows!
Sounds like you've been a busy lady!

Tara....take care!! I've been thinking about you a lot. Hope all is going well and Ethan stays put as long as possible.

Lily, you are a busy girl too! How exciting to go on another trip.
I'm about bursting wanting to talk to DH about our upcoming one, but so far, I've kept my mouth closed!!

Night everyone.

 

[shep]

Nancy--I hope to be able to sleep on the plane...
We will come back friday...
Other trips haven't bothered me...I figure if we miss the plane the trip is over..

Good night..

 

[Meriweather]

Tina....got any bat repellant ? I hate bats. They dive bomb

LOL....I'll have to remind DD to bring hers home with her.
If she doesn't get a job, I'll hire her for "bat" duty

Morning!

Todd & Amanda, have a wonderful trip.

Went to Julian's spring concert last night. So cute.

Mom stopped by to drop off some Las Vegas tee's she bought us.

Will have to ketchup later.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Good Morning Everyone!

I crashed out early last night. Boy was I tired. Went to sleep before the kids even went to bed and slept most of the night.

Liz we will be boarding him with a wonderful kennel we have near us when we go to Disney. We thought of taking him with us and boarding him up there but you have to physically go there and walk them three times a day. They dont walk the dogs. The kennel we are taking him to we have used for many many years for both our old dog and our cat. They are wonderful and caring people so we are not worried about it at all.

I have now officially lost NINE POUNDS!!!! I am so excited!!! Im feeling both good about that and Im feeling pretty good physically too!!!! I stopped the prednisone on my own...I know how to taper and Im on a very miniscule dose......and although I feel a little more achey the wicked pain I had is now being controlled by the Celebrex and the two shots I got about a week ago. I figured the prednisone wasnt good for me long term and would stall my weight loss.

Tara I am doubling up my prayers for you and Ethan. I know its hard right now sweetie but there is a very special prize at the end of all of this.

Eeek I just noticed the time gotta finish getting ready for school and work. LOVE YA ALL!!!!
