There's no time to slumber we're going back in November! we came we saw and started a TR for it all!

[Chicago Mo]

Thank you everyone for sticking around it's CRAZY here..

Party.. man alive did my super mom powers kick in!
SO far i was able to book a jump house that is the size of my house. it has the regular bounce house along with a GIGANTIC slide. can't wait to see how this is going to go.
Then i was stressing about food.
So i got on the phone to call the taco guys. They priced between $600.00 and $900.00 <-- you got to be kidding me.
NO.
I said i didn't want the boring Pizzas So why not get a traveling pizza guy? Fresh made pizza right in front of you! all the trimmings! for under 500.00 DONE i don't even care right now just bring your stuff and cook for my guests! LOL
Now i have to go shopping for the extras like make a cake and little things here and there.
I believe this will be good and STRESS FREE.. This is what i get for planning last minute.

It doesn't help that i have been working like a lunatic.
city and 2nd job. until close which means i don't get home until 11-11:30 then back here again.. So my shopping has been at lunch!!!

Job #2 has me pretty busy! as you know i am trying to get a new title there which has me in overdrive! Like i said before i have asked a couple of friends to help me out LET ME TELL YOU the few have come through with flying colors!!! It's going so well. Yet has me BUSY..

So off i got trying to get all my work here-job #2 and kids party completed.

Then let's not even think about paying off this trip. Don't want to think of the bad on this...
HAPPY THOUGHTS AND FIND MY HAPPY PLACE!!!

Ya think someone would pay off my trip for the kids birthday?!?!
HA HA HA HA HAH yes i am laughing hard

 

[annegirl]

Wow! Seriously, once again I am exhausted after reading your post!

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Nice job with the party planning! The bounce house sounds amazing?
Is there a theme? I love party planning, although as I have more kids and they get older, it seems to be more stressful.

 

[Elevationist]

Just reading about your life makes me want to take a nap. (But let's be honest, I always want to take a nap.)

And not because it's boring... because it's EXHAUSTING. I don't know how you do it, SuperMom!

 

[Pluto0809]

Glad I'm not in your shoes right now with all the craziness going on! I do want to come over and give that bounce house a try but at my age I'd probably hurt myself. So it's probably a good thing I don't live close enough to crash.

 

[KatMark]

I really don't know how you do it. 3 kids, 2 jobs (sometimes 3?). I get exhausted just thinking about it. I love the "make the pizza" idea...brilliant! And the jumping thing sounds like fun too.

 

[solana131]

I'm sorry....you have a TRAVELING PIZZA GUY???? What?! That is so cool! Oh to live in a city and have options like that.
It's going to be a great party...all your parties are great

I am back from vacation and am slowly trying to get caught up on Dis. This PTR is first.

I am super excited about all of the D23 announcements.
The birthday party sounds really fun. Wish we lived closer. Have no idea what a traveling pizza guy is.
Hate that rash. I get it at both WDW and Disneyland. I am going to have to investigate the sock/shoe correlation.

School starts next week for Chelsea. She picked up her schedule and practiced opening the locker yesterday. I got to pay the school fees. Marissa moved out in a little over a week. She is still local, so I don't think it will be that big of an adjustment.

Vacation was just ok. Not a fan of google maps. We had some very interesting directions. We really missed Disney. The older 2 kids and I just weren't impressed with Great Wolf this time. So, that wasn't fun. In Seattle, we found the Disney store and there was a Rainforest Cafe in the same mall. Jacob really wanted to go, but Marissa didn't. Chelsea didn't care. So, we didn't eat there. Then we ended up riding the monorail in Seattle. That was Disneyish. Disney based their monorail on it, so it was fun to do. I was just glad to be back and after adding up what that trip cost, we could have gone to Disney. We have decided that other vacations just aren't as good.

I get to leave work in 2 minutes, so I had better go.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Oh my goodness, your boys are getting so big! I am dreading the day that Ethan is taller than me, so far he is still a peanut, and only 4'9".

Hope you can find out what is causing that rash.

A Traveling Pizza guy?! How awesome is that! Sounds like a great party!

 

[RunnerMommyof4]

Oh a bounce house! I'm driving to Chicago for that. Lol my kids still get embarrassed that I like to jump! Pizza...as long as your not cooking it's all good. Good luck with everything you have going on! Can't wait to see how the party turns out!!!

 

[DMGeurts]

Great job on the party planning! I don't know how you do it every year? It seems to get more amazing and more fun each year! It sounds like everything is coming together nicely.

As usual - I don't k now how you do it? Serriously woman - you need a break!!!! So much doing on in your life... I sure hope it settles down soon - really I do. But you are going into birthdays and football season - I know it won't. Thank God you have Disney on the horizon - which we all know isn't really a "stress free" vacation zone. I know you're busy - but know we are truly cheering you on - if anyone deserves this promotion at work - it is definitely YOU! Just try to breathe.

Can't wait to see pictures of the party and hear how it turns out. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Not this year no time for a theme. just throwing a bunch of things together! LOL

I want a nap.. BAD. I am so tired i drove here to work in a daze i honestly don't know how i made it in.

Glad I'm not in your shoes right now with all the craziness going on! I do want to come over and give that bounce house a try but at my age I'd probably hurt myself. So it's probably a good thing I don't live close enough to crash.

umm No your not allowed to get hurt.. NOPE.
but the bounce is still fun to get into.. I will have pictures. your always more them welcome to come by.

I really don't know how you do it. 3 kids, 2 jobs (sometimes 3?). I get exhausted just thinking about it. I love the "make the pizza" idea...brilliant! And the jumping thing sounds like fun too.

I'm tired. Coffee and lots of it keeps me moving. yep this year i am having everything brought to me. I just don't have the time.
Job #3 dog training- Not going tomorrow. I need tomorrow for cooking cleaning and getting the house together for the party.

We do. He brings a pizza oven straight to the house.
My electric bill is going to sky rocket.

Oh boy at least you brought Disney into your vacation! yep go back to Disney. you need it and it's calling you.

The boys need to stop this nonsense right now. I don't like it one bit.
The rash is a PITA
i hope it will be good for them!

[Pluto0809]

Hope everything goes great this weekend, good luck getting it all done. Can't wait to see the pictures next week.

 

[RunnerMommyof4]

Good Luck!!! Hope the caffeine kicks in and carries you through!!!

 

[JKeenz]

Good luck with all of the last minute party preparations! I'm sure you will pull it off - as usual - you seem to always get everything done - and done well!

Hope you are able to enjoy the party yourself too! Looking forward to seeing pictures next week! And to Matt, Zack and Meg.....

My SIL's sister was able to bring the triplets home on 8/29, so they were just over a month old! I hear all are doing well, although I'm sure there is not much sleeping going on in that house, as you know I'm sure! Sorry I've been to sparse with the updates. Bad DISer, BAD!!! I hope to get a chance to meet and snuggle those little babies sometime soon. Maybe during football season... hoping that we can get together with them for a game sometime this fall. Not to start any big debates , but after yesterday's NFL news, I'm just glad that the Patriots and Tom Brady can get on with the season! (I know you're a Bears fan, and vaguely remember Super Bowl XX when you guys whipped our butts!)

Won't be long now and you will be doing fast passes... although I'm sure at the moment you're way too busy to even think about that! I'm so looking forward to November and our DISmeet!! Will love meeting you and your crew! (I have it marked in my notes for AK day on Tuesday 11/17 but we can change if necessary or meet up at AOA since we will be staying there too!) I'll be the one chasing the little blond toddler... he started walking in the last week or so. We can't keep up with how much he is changing, but he is just too much fun.

New to your thread and all caught up! May I recommend some socks to you? They are a brand called balega. You can get them at any running store and I swear these are the best socks ever made! I wore them when I ran the Boston Marathon (in the rain) and did not get a single blister! 26.2 miles (at the end of the day it is over 30), and not a single blemish on my foot! I have searched for the perfect socks for years and these are them!

Anyway, you trip plans look great! I loved AOA when I stayed there. We were upgraded to a Lion King Suite from a LM room, so we were super excited!

One year ago today I was flying threw the house trying to pack and getting ready to suprise the kids with the Disney trip. Today? Flying threw the house trying to clean for a party.. there is an ugly storm coming and I pray it passes I do NOT want all these people in the house!!!
