Hang in there Tonya!

Sorry to hear about your medical issues but hope that getting some answers will help you feel better!

Just take that to-do-list one step at a time.

 

[cantwaittoseemickey]

Today we got 2 Big Give packages in the mail! I'm uploading pics right now. It's taking me a while We got our furniture and all is well so far. Dh is asleep on one end as he worked all night and today too and Ty is cozy on the other end. My dogs are each asleep on one seat as well Guess it must be pretty cozy Sierra is in her room playing with some CLAY I let her go ahead and play with since she just couldn't wait to dig in

A little update on a couple of things. The Endo couldnt get me in till September so I guess I assume its nothing to get too worked up over And they already have approval from the insurance for Ty's wheelchair modifications Next step is for them to come in in time and we are able to meet to get it all installed(dme is 2 hours away) before we leave.

 

[wish_upon_a_star35]

So this is my to-do list

Redo itinerary
refill all meds
call insurance co see about wheelchair stuff and hope for the best
go to 8 apts
Get hubby's 40th bday party booked
change Ty's frogs water 3x's
find Sierra's phone charger
Clean house so its all nice and fresh when we come home
Pack Sunglasses, sunscreen and germ stuff
call airline or airport to see best way to carry Ty's meds that are cold and cooling vest
Get License renewed and pack placard and insurance card in backpack
charge all phones and Ty's pump, pack chargers!
put chemicals in pool and take ladder out
Get another memory card for camera
Change Ty's gtube and pack extra in bag

that's it for now I will add more on later

You are going to be sooo busy the time will go by quickly! And I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that HAST to clean the house before leaving for vacation! I am actually looking forward to it! I just can't stand the thought of coming home with all those bags and luggage to unpack AND have to deal with an untidy house.

Thank you so much Lynn. The kids really enjoyed opening your box of goodies! Lots of great things in there. (Ty had to go ahead and play with Donald ) We really appreciate the towels and the shirts. And I came so close to buying glow things for them the other day at Krogers!! Something just told me not too and I backed away!! lol

I am so glad the box made it to you safely, and that the clay didn't totally melt in the heat! I was a little worried about that. It was so hot here the day I mailed it.

It was my pleasure to make the outfits and Ty's shirt! I hope you all have a wonderful trip.

Knowing what it is has helped me alot. I am working on cutting out caffiene (at least mountain dew and I know that will help some. Poor hubby though. lol I have been drinking mountain dew forever. I bought caffiene free mountain dew the other day. We will see how it goes Im also drinking alot more water too.

You are going to be sooo busy the time will go by quickly! And I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that HAST to clean the house before leaving for vacation! I am actually looking forward to it! I just can't stand the thought of coming home with all those bags and luggage to unpack AND have to deal with an untidy house.

There is nothing like coming home to a nice sparkling house. It is less to do and when the post disney blues hit we can vege out and relax. And I will be able to work on my tr sooner

Nope it didn't melt at all. Sierra actually had it in the van with us yesterday and it was over 90 and it didn't melt. She said it is the type of clay it is. See she always has clay in her hand! Thank you!!

We will take it day by day and hour by hour. And in between there will be lots to do at GKTW.

 

[Laurensmom2004]

[cantwaittoseemickey]

sounds great!!!!!!! we need to try and look for each other at some point! we're def doing the winter wonderland too!!

We should definately see each other. If you see me PLEASE stop and say hi! Maybe we can plan a meet up before the Winter Wonderland.

We are in the TEENS!!! 19 Days to go

So far I haven't recieved our packet from GKTW and I haven't heard from our Wish Granters when we will meet up yet but I'm sure we will hear something soon. I am trying to work down the list of to do's. I have put the kids Customs from the Big Givers in labled gallon size baggies. I am putting the day and park on each baggie. I think it will be so much easier to have their clothes ready to go.
