Okay, this post comes without pictures, thank goodness. It is ugly...and short...but here is my WORST moment in years. I hope you all don't hate me after this one!
When we got back to the room, we tried to get everybody to lay down for a nap. But by then, even Bits was awake.
I ironed everyones clothes for the evening. Then sat the kids down to sign our post cards.
I bathed each of the kids and got them ready, with DHs help. He addressed the post cards while I jumped in the shower.
After I got out of the shower, I went down to the lobby to buy stamps and mail the cards.
When I went to the gift shop there was Memaw doing some shopping. She was picking out stuff for the kids and for my grandparents back home.
I asked where Pepaw was and she said he was around somewhere.
Oh Joy! I knew that meant they were fighting.
I told her we would be down in about 30 to the bus stop and I headed out.
In the lobby I found Pepaw sitting on a bench. So I went over to say Hi.
He asked me what time we were supposed to be leaving for dinner, I told him in about 30 minutes.
He then told me he tried to tell her that and so no, that we were all supposed to met an hour ago. Still not sure where she got that
she was just confused.
So I went up to gather up the gang and head to the bus. The bus arrived fairly quickly.
When we got on the bus, there was a cute little boy in a Prince Charming outfit and a girl in a Cinderella dress. They were definitely customs, so I asked who made them. The father spoke up with a huge grin and told me his wife did. He was so proud of her. I told her they were wonderful.
Her husband kept going on and on about how talented she was. It really was sweet.
Okay
now I know that my stuff is okay
not to the caliber this other mother made
but do you think SOMEBODY, ANYBODY in my family said one stinking thing about my outfits!!!!!?????!!!!
Finally, my BEAUTIFUL daughter leaned up and said My Mommy made my outfit too.
I Love that child
The ride over was quick and we arrived at the MK to take the Monorail over to the Contemporary.
We get to the loading ramp
it was block
the MR was broke!!
OH NO
So we headed back in the other direction and I said maybe we can get a Taxi to take Memaw over. I ran to guest relations to ask and there was no way. She did say we could take one of the wheelchairs. GOOD!
Pepaw went to get the wheelchair from down at the bus drop off while we waited.
Then Memaw told me that there was no way she was getting in that wheel chair with him pushing it!!!! She told me that she was tired of being treated like this because she was hurt!
HUH?
I asked her how she was being treated.
She said everyone is treating her like she is a burden.
Okay
you may want to skip this part
it is ugly
At that point I had had enough.
These were my words:
You have got to stop. What is YOUR problem? At no point in time has anybody but you been concerned about that wheelchair! You tell me one time, anytime, any of us have said anything about the wheelchair, other than to help you. YOU are making this a big deal, and right now YOU are ruining my vacation. You have a choice
get over it and enjoy this or LEAVE.
Sometime during all of this, DH grabbed the kids and walked away
in the wrong direction.
He was heading to the busses in the direction of Pepaw, who was coming with the wheelchair.
I went to DH and the kids, grabbed Moonk and Bits by the hand and told DH to follow me. About that time Pepaw walked up and tried to say something to me about the time we were where Memaw was at, looking shocked.
I looked at both of them and said Get away from me. You can join us on the other side of that road up there when you two have figured out this aint about you
I took off kinda dragging the kids. Tears were rolling down my face
I was not happy. I had said things I didnt want to, but this was about my kids
my kids!!!! DH put his arm around me and told me that it was okay
he knew I was right no matter how hard it was.
When we arrived at the hotel, my parents joined us in the lobby. Nothing more was said about the event. We found the elevators and went up to the floor with the resturant.
Okay, can you believe we were early after all of that?
Memaw and Pepaw sat on some benches while we took the kids in to the shop to buy ears
they had to have ears to meet Mickey!!!
We went to line up for the meal a few minutes early so we could see Mickey come out.
All was well!
Next: Chef Mickey!
