Top Secret Pixie Dust! A Surprise 13th Birthday PTR! NEW! TRIP REPORT LINK PAGE 220!

[If U Had Wings]

Jackie, so sorry that your having a rough time right now. Probably the best thing do do right now it to take a few steps away from the vacation plans and then go back to them in a few days with a clearer head. Where ever you go for your vacation, you'll be making memories as a family and that's all that really counts. One of my favorite vacations as a kid was one I took with my mom, brother, aunt and cousins to Wildwood, NJ. We were all crammed into one small studio room, eating things like PB&J for the week. Not our typical vacation at all, but the outlandishness of it was enough for us to remember it years later and we al have fond memories of being together that trip.

How sneaky!! I think that is really unfair what they are doing to your DH. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Sometimes it takes a little time to know what you should do

 

[jillyb]

Love the new bags!

I'm with everybody else...that's totally wrong what they did to Charles. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Financial worries are no fun.

 

[MadiMouse]

I pray that it all works out! I know it will. There's always Pop if it came down to it!

 

[xoktenox]

Awww Jackie, I never understood why unjust things happen to good people That's extremely unfair that the school is doing that to Charles

I see a few people have mentioned staying at Pop...that's where we'll be and have heard nothing but good things about it there! Plus, they're refubishing all the rooms as we speak. Tinkgurl just got back and she loved it! Something to consider to save some $$!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

You've got tons of advice from everyone and I doubt I could add anything wise to it. So instead I'm sending you my sympathies with a big hug and some chocolate to dip into that peanut butter jar from MeMom.

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Jackie- so sorry. It is unbelieveable that they are able to get away with just swapping salaries I like that you are waiting to make a decision.

Is there another place to vacation besides Disney?

Love the Vera. I keep looking at the new Sitting in a Tree and Totally Turq, but today I saw the new summer prints - like I wasn't already having a hard enough time deciding!

Oh Jackie It just does not seem right that he is the one coaching & she is going to get the pay for it. I would have a hard time biting my tongue on that one!! But then again the older I get the more I have a hard time with biting my tongue I so hope things work out & like you said just take it one day at a time for now.

I love your new purchases!!

I hope your dog is doing ok. We love our pet but those bills can be high

Hang in there!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh Jackie, that totally stinks about the pay cut for Charles....
Is changing to a value resort even an option at this point?

Honestly I hope the plans get to go on as before but time will tell on that!

I know that you are wanting to go for Chelsea's birthday but what if you were to go earlier before the 10th of June, wouldn't that be less expensive as well?
Just a thought....
Plus you know me, always plotting to get you down there when we will be there.

 

[manntra]

I'm with MeMom you DESERVE a break! This is just such sad news and I really hope you will end up going.....you can stay at Pop but still keep all of your other plans....will that work? I know you can figure out a way. You just have too......I was so misty when you mentioned Conner Oh Jackie
Peanut butter goes really good with Nutella
How is Tabasco doing?

[addictedtothemouse]

I'm sorry, sometimes being an adult sucks!

 

[MaryAz]

Big Jackie! I think it is very unfair they way they treated Charles. I am glad you were able to talk to your principal about it. I really hope things start to look up and the trip can go on!

 

[punkin413]

i really hope it works out for you guys to go.

i can't believe the switched those soccer stipends! you'd think they're REWARD a coach who's doing a good job instead of taking something away. i could see if they were cutting salaries to save on the budget but to SWITCH them? that's just not fair.

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

How terribly unfair for Charles! Ugh, I'm so sorry about all of this. You'll figure it out though, I'm sure! I agree with some of the others - would you consider a value?

 

[Mombits]

I guess I am late to the party, but I really enjoyed your last TR so I'm glad to be here now!

 

[MegansMom]

I'm sorry all this negative stuff is going on right now, but I hope that means you are due for LOTS of positive things happening!!! I am a very positive, hopeful person, so I have not given up on your trip yet....don't you either!!!

LOVE THE VERAS!!!!

 

[floridascgirl]

So sorry that you are being thrown these curve balls. Keep your chin up.
P.S. I'm sending you some pixie dust from Charleston...keep your eye out for it!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I had to make a quick trip to Florida last week & just got caught up. Jackie, I'm so sorry that things are getting so screwed up. Especially for Charles, that stinks!
We are all pulling for you, it will get better in some way.

 

[Pryncesa]

Hi Jackie! Just found your report, and got all caught up on your updates. Shame on them for being so underhanded with your husband's coaching situation.

I'm hoping that everything works out for you to be able to take the trip you wanted.

 

[cdotla]

Oh Jackie...so sorry to hear the bad news. Hoping things turn around for you soon!!!
