i don't anymore.. I have a pathetic ponytail now...
But yes all in the name of water bills!!! it'll grow back.
Matt...what are you thinking? We don't like the Mean Mom.
I KNOW! i got to the root of this problem too... tell ya below. hey you have 2 DAYS!!!!!!!
They make for a good story every once in a while...
I am caught up again. Oh my! Plans B and Plans C. I got a headache just reading them. I hope it all goes well. Plan C looks like a good option (my kids like MK as their last park).
my head is spinning too.. But i need backup plans!!!
I am thinking of chopping off my hair (to about collar bone level). However, I can put it off a little longer. I think you got a good length.
That's where mine is.. But with a shorter layer.. and i now hate it. because I don't a pony tail anymore!!! it'll grow back.
I need to get back to work. Have a great weekend, if I don't get back here by then.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
Yep, 4 down today one more to go so this is a quick drive by post. Of course the County Manager always, always comes up with a question I don't know the answer to no matter how long I prepare and try to anticipate. It's kind of becoming a running joke now.
oh no.. at least you all can laugh about it. HAPPY FRIDAY! hope you get it all done!!!
Holy Crap that's coming up soon. I didn't realize it was so close.
Sure is!!!
No time to look at this now, my head is just spinning with all that!! I am going to guess though that you will be able to get BOG for the day you want. It's not quite as hard to get now as it was at first. Just make sure you go for that one first thing before any of your other choices.
ha ha ha ha! take your time. i want OPINIONS!
Yes i am going for BOG first and foremost. i will more then likely go over these plans another 48572045 times to see what is going to work... there are SO MANY party dates it's killing me.
I owe you an e-mail! Probably going to be sometime this weekend with the way things are going right now at work.
sounds good! work job 2 in the AM then i might be taking the woobie out about town.. I need new Walter shots!
They have been SUPER bad the times I tried to use them, so I just stopped looking at their Crowd Calendar. I do follow EasyWDW though, but I still create my own plan based on who has EMH, park hours, etc. My plan has yet to fail us.
damn.. Who knows.. I do use EasyWdw too. i have most of my days the same as he recommends just need that BOG dinner..
Also, loving the cut! Super cute!
Not a fan of it today.
And I have a BoG on a party night. It's pretty early, like 4:50 or something, and it's on the VERY last park day of my trip .... so they're not impossible, but not easy to obtain. Good luck and I'll be sending pixie dust your way that you'll get the perfect BoG ADR!
Thanks i need it. See? that's what i need to shoot for with this BOG ressie is more tward the end of my trip.. OK going back to RECALCULATING my plans...
I can't believe it was Stevie the Ferret that put a hole in the couch, was it a real hole? I may have missed this part when reading through everything! I was determined to get caught up yesterday!
Oh yes. his little nails and scratching he got his way in.. then the corners aren't sealed anyway so he can pop right threw there then push the cushion out of his way. Or he can now jump onto the couch like a dog.
You are so ready for ADR Day! Both of our last trips we have booked after 180 day OOPS so I haven't had to prepare for that.
Not really! i will be reexamining them today!!! i'm like that.. go over them nine gazillion times before i am happy. what else is a planner to do?
I was looking at Plan B &C and I think if you cannot get Plan A to work Plan B looks good because you get to go to HS 3 times and that is one of your favorite! Either way, they all look good!
thank you! i am just a planning nut case. once we are there it doesn't matter we will be in DISNEY! and happy
Hopefully you will get some pixie dust and get BOG right away and get to go with Plan A!
I hope so too!!!
Does Matt suffer from a nervous stomach? When I was a kid I used to be ill pretty regularly at school, stomach pains, occasional throwing up, the works. Felt real as heck to me...but people insisted I was faking, eventually my Mum did the same as you mentioned and I was just kept in the office until home time as my family Dr could find nothing wrong. A different doctor gave me stress reduction techniques (deep breathing, etc) and Bach's Rescue Remedy, and I never suffered like that again at school. You know your own kid, obviously, if he's faking he's faking! But that just struck a chord with me, him being "ill" so often and all you've told us about the awful teacher, perhaps it's stress-related.
Zack had the nervous stomach before we figured out he had a learning disability. Matt? he had some issues in 2nd grade.. this time? No. I will explain more at the bottom!!!
Your hair looks great!

And YAY BLACKHAWKS! They're my pick for the cup this year. I love hockey, not so keen on the time difference for live games though! LOTS of late nights in our house lately! *yawn*
thanks! I hate it today i have a pathetic pony tail.. and i ALWAYS wear a pony tail! HA HA
Blackhawks are bringing home the cup again!!! OH the late nights! then the overtime is KILLING US ALL!!!
Am I being stupid...Did that tiny ferret move that huge sofa cushion?! Are they like ants lifting 40x their own bodyweight or something? I don't want to know what he managed to get up to with the sword if so!
OMG! this is SOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! i try to keep all weapons away from the little squirt!
he did. he just pushes everything out of the way..

Stevie is something all right..
Ah yes, the stomach ache, I'm very familiar. My grandma called it growing pains, my mama called it BS; mama was right.

He'll get over it soon enough.
I will tell the real story in a minute.
Love the hair!! Lighter is always nicer in the summer.
and now i hate it.. I miss my pony tail.
ADR day is like a stressful puzzle. Seems like you've got every situation covered. We swapped our entire trip
exactly! i will go over these plans hundreds of times before i am happy!
cause of our BOG reservation; that one is a hard one to get! Sending you
I need it. everything aside it's not going to ruin our trip in anyway. But would be nice to have it!
I think your hair looks adorable!!! You know I just cut about 12 inches off of mine and got it layered, and at first I wasn't sure what to think... But it took one day in that Florida heat to make me LOVE it.

Now I plan on keeping it this way for a while!
You look younger with it shorter. I cannot go that short. just can't. now it's time for it to grow back!!! i had enough.. HA
Oh, poor Lex! What a sweet puppy.

And that Stevie is a HOOT!
Lex is a sweet dog. the ferret is feisty nothing is safe around him when he is up for play. right now he and the sheltie (piper) are BFF's. so Stevie has been leaving Lex alone.
OMG! You're under 200 days now! How excitiiiiiiiiing!
I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! about damn time! this is taking FOREVER!
I'm no help with your Plan B & C. That just made my head spin.

I think you've definitely got a handle on it, though!
my head is still spinning!!!
************************************************
Life stuff you don't really need to read if you don't want to.. it's a lot of nonsense and more for me to just get it down for when i print this out and save it with my Disney stuff!
Kid Update:
Yesterday: he was in my parent's guest bedroom all day. i just KNEW he was full of it. when i went to pick him up he was still playing the I'm sick card. whatever.
Got him into the car turned and said.
So what happened.
He told me he was at Church took communion and AGAIN took the wine (when i told him NOT too!) well the wine had a piece of the host in it. Then turned his stomach.
OK-- Matt has a VERY sensitive stomach. If he get a piece of hair in his mouth he gags- and if there is hair on his plate of food. it's over he can't eat. So anything will make him sick. lets not even talk about McDonalds... Nope. we don't eat there (or Burger King) Unfortunately he gets this from me. i have a very weak stomach.
that's why he had to come home. So we had the talk about how I TOLD HIM NOT to take the wine anymore and he did it anyway. shame on him. Next time? Yes he will be sitting in the office until 3 when everyone gets out.
Today is FRIDAY FOLDER DAY!
i cannot wait to see how they did this week.. Next week is PROGRESS REPORTS!


We shall see! i don't thin three weeks of working hard is going to change the progress reports as much as I NEED them to change but we shall see. All three have been working very hard. I hope the teacher sees the improvement.
Next up is me.
I have not been myself for a while.. I can even see it in my reports here. Not so witty as i normally am. No get up and go. just sluggish, stomach issues, being
very annoyed with people -not being mean to them- just can't deal with BS like i normally can so i either walk away or just plain out ignore it all.. I've been fine at home with the kids and Tom just dead tired all the time and NO will to move. I have to force myself to do my walk with the kids as we call our "Disney walk on". Even my new way of eating! cutting out crap. Eating HALF of what i normally do and doing great!
So i went to the Doc. (had Matt with me since he was too sick for school NO SPORTS TODAY)
I gained 30 pounds. HOW THE HECK did that happen? I was almost in tears. Then he checked my thyroid test. yeah.. i was 27 points off again. He said i was lucky i was functioning at all. so we talked more and more. we came up with a plan. 1st he upped my meds 25 mg higher! then we talked diet (life change) and said to start with Aktins. OK great.. I am allergic to eggs. damn. time for some research!
Then i showed him this 'bump' i have on my head. He said it was a cyst. (YUCK!) said he can take that off along with one of the many moles i have (thank you Irish skin) Ok when do you want me to come back?
Nope going to do right then and there!

OMG. OK please tell Matt i am OK will be out soon. Here goes my weak stomach now... iodine- shot to the head for numbness and BURNING THE DAMN THING OFF.
I turned white as a ghost and almost fainted twice. (shh didn't tell the doc)
First let me tell you. I have an extreme high tolerance to pain. where my stomach has the lowest of low tolerance for ANYTHING.
the procedure was nothing... no pain not a dang thing. but the smell and KNOWING what he was doing got the best of me. he jokes (trying to make me feel better) were making it worse along with telling me every step he was taking.. Thanks doc.. it's a need to know basis here. but was afraid to open my mouth.
once it was over i got that woozie feeling. light head eye blur... ugh. I had to get out there right then and there. Made sure i didn't need to sign anything or see the front desk NOPE ok Matt let's get the heck out of here. When he saw me his eyes got HUGE and asked if i was ok.. Yep let's go. i didn't want him to worry i figured once i hit the air outside i would be better.
and it was for the first 5 seconds.
let's go
i need to sit again. all i kept thinking was: I have to drive home...
I have to drive home with my child in the car.
I have to drive home without passing out.
I have my child with me. can't pass out
crap... how am i going to do this. stop and get a pop need sugar to help right?!?
my ears are ringing i can still smell the burning. Matt is trying his best to be good, he knows something is definitely wrong with me.. We stop in Burger king i have a pop and he got some oreo shake thing i had no idea. if he were to ask for half the menu i would have said yes i was so out of it. Matt did mention how he smelled something burning - i said oh honey it's just my head...
Thankfully i do not live too far away from the doctor's office. the pop was helping a little but all i kept in my mind was i have my child in the car. i must stay focused. i must get home safely. MUST. and we did.
came home and i laid on the couch for the rest of the night. not moving one wrong move and it was going to be o.v.e.r. a couple of friends and family called/stopped by to make sure i was OK- God I love my friends and family!!! i don't know what i would do without them! you truly know who you real friends are at times!!!


they ALL yelled at me that i should have called them for a ride.. they were all absolutely right i was NOT in the right mind, i had two things. 1 my child was in the car 2 i had to get home without issues.
mission accomplished!

I am a wuss. if something is wrong with my kids animals i jump right in and take care of it like SUPERMOM.. when it's me? i am a wuss. can't deal. such a dork.
and i have stupid hair too. it makes a pathetic pony tail. Can't wait for it to grow back!!!
Ok meds you can kick in at any time..
IF you stayed with all the above you deserve an award.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
