Watch out Dumbo, There's a bigger Circus coming to Town...Triplets take on the World

[disneychic2]

People are getting so gutsy just stealing things in daylight like that. I thought someone had stolen my Mickey ice cream antenna topper, but Dan had taken it off and put it in the glove box when the kids borrowed my car for their trip. He felt it would be safer there, but forgot to tell me. I did have one of my antenna toppers stolen in Baltimore once. But that's a quick swipe. A hitch takes tools, right? sheesh!!

Thanks for the latest update. I love good water. So many times at restaurants it's nasty. Too bad the meal was so blah no one remembers it.

Hope you have a great weekend. I'm sure it will be wild as always! Squeeze those munchkins for me!!

So. As you all know i have been crazy busy at work.. I believe i am caught back up and can have a little bit more free time... but who knows..

On Wednesday Peanut had her last game...
They have a big Ta-do with a pizza party, whip cream, shaving cream fight. Meg was hit by a pitch in the head.. SHE IS FINE.. I wasn't nervous i know my kids and know if they are in trouble. this was not that time.. It was cute as the other coaches our coaches Yell OH PEANUT ARE YOU OK? then as she is taking her base you hear the yells from the other team YAY PEANUT! WTG PEANUT! I thought it was cute. only a few friends know to call Meg peanut! our team yelled as well yet they yelled Go MEG! she ended up with the game ball. which the coach wrote on there Good Job Meg- that's using your head!






as you can see she is perfectly fine.


well, while at the game someone went into my car and stole my C.C. (bank card) and license. I lost one of my earrings.
it's been bad with theft and losing things!!!! WTH!!
with that they had made a couple of charges a little over $200.00 you can imagine how upset i am about this..
I did go today and got a new license then i have to go to the police station to make a report then to the bank to file all the paperwork
Tess: this is why you never got the email. I was going to pay you off but then this happened..

OK enough bad talk.. this is my happy place..

At the game i was talking with a few of the school parents.. who are on the athletic board... Asking who can coach the 4th grade basketball girls...








I gave them some names...
























you know where this is headed don't you???















Guess who is coaching 4th grade basketball...







Guess who knows next to nothing about coaching basketball...









guess who will be doing TONS of you tube research on drills...


yeah.....




me.


pray for me...

just infuriates me!!!

Who knew a good story about water is the highlight of the Dis meet!!!

Hope you have a great weekend. I'm sure it will be wild as always! Squeeze those munchkins for me!!

It's always crazy here. I just posted about it all!!!

 

[KatMark]

I'm glad "peanut" was okay. I love what her coach wrote on the ball.

Looks like a nice end of season shaving cream party.

I can't believe someone stole something out of your car. Did you lock your car and they broke in?

You have been a busy girl.

I was happy to pick up the park maps for you...anything to help make the surprise more fun for those three cute kids.

Have a good weekend. I've got my baby and his wife visting starting tonight.

It's the one thing Meg looks forward to with softball!! good humor all around with us!!!


always busy.. yet i have ALL next moth to relax!!!

Oh you really did make it just that much BETTER!!!! thank you so much!!!


I hope you have a wonderful weekend with YOUR baby and new daughter (in-law)

have a great time!!!

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Man, that is terrible about the bank card........I can't believe the nerve of some people!!!

I'm feeling your pain with the busyness and trying to get it all done! I had TWO years........what happened? Although I have a couple more weeks than you! And about 5 less jobs!!!!

 

[annegirl]

Oh man. People need to stop stealing your stuff!

 

[Iamthequeen]

No worries Mo. I'm just happy they didn't get more from you. The nerve of some 'people '

 

[Denovagirl]

Man!!! I need to come up there and hunt some people DOWN! What on earth!?!?!? Sheesh.. at least you are you and in general very positive and can still stay on the up and up, and it helps to have the Dis too

Saw you FB post that baseball was over! Yay! A whole month off! But then, WHAT!? Coaching basketball!! Bahahahahah... of course you would agree to this because you are SUPERWOMAN and no one else could juggle all these jobs and activities like you! No one I know deserves a Disney vacation more than you Mo!! I am sure you will figure the sport out and do great!

Yay for your disney side sticker! Got mine today! I just love checking the mail when you have Disney in your future! You never know when something fun will be in there like that!!!

Your list seems like a lot, but really its not too bad, youll get it done I am certain!

 

[DMGeurts]

Oh no, poor peanut! Glad she is OK. Hugs to her.

Still so pissed about your ccs, and your license... Annnd your tow hitch. Makes me so angry.

Basketball eh? Seriously... We need to get you a platter for everything you have on your plate. Just say no. Practice... No, no, no... Repeat after me...

So happy to hear aboot all the fun stuff you have to do in the next 71 days... It sneaks up on you don't it? My count is much shorter than yours, and I am a wreck!

I hope you have a great weekend. . Love ya, miss ya.

And if Lois comes to MN... She better grab you on the way... Wish Suzi was on the way too, and not all by her lonesome on the island of Maine.

D~

 

[disneychic2]

Oh no, I'm so sorry your card and license were stolen! Who would think at a kids sports function you'd have to worry about that sort of thing? Dang! Glad it's getting all taken care of, but what a hassle!

Love the photos of the team having so much fun. That's what childhood should be…carefree and full of laughter.

Right D~…I tried to teach her to say no when she was contemplating that 4th job…but it didn't do any good. Don't tell Mo, but I think she needs an intervention. Soon!!!

Yeah, Mo, coaching basketball? Really? (okay, where's my "faint" smilie???) They do say if you want something done, ask the busiest person you know. Guess that's what the committee did! Although taking on yet another "job" is not what you need (IMHO), I know you'll do great and the kids will love you!

Loved the pics of the horseback riding. Such a beautiful setting. Making memories with your precious family...life doesn't get any better than that!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and rest of the week!

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

I thought I was busy! Nope, you are the queen. Coaching 4th grade basketball? I would not be able to do it, but then, noone would ever ask me. I don't come off as the athletic type. Sometimes my clumsiness is a good thing. At least you are an involved parent. Too soon, the kiddos are grown and you are dropping them off at college. Your kids are blessed to have you as their mother. Keep telling them that.

 

[jkfandel]

Poor peanut but it had me laughing knowing she was OK with the "using your head" on the ball that was priceless.

Hope everything is good in your world. I have been following along - just silent.

The surprise video is really, really, good have you made changes? The only thing that struck me as at the very end. You ask them to press pause and then there was a wait and then you tell them. What if they can't press pause quick enough that could impact the "SURPRISE"!! Other than that you did a fantastic job.

Have a great week and Happy 4th of July!!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Man, that is terrible about the bank card........I can't believe the nerve of some people!!!

I know!!! I was beyond pissed.

I'm feeling your pain with the busyness and trying to get it all done! I had TWO years........what happened? Although I have a couple more weeks than you! And about 5 less jobs!!!!

my problem was always i had enough time.. so i started the bigger projects and now the smaller ones yet the most important are pushed to the side.. not i am scrambling to get it all done.

Oh man. People need to stop stealing your stuff!

No kidding!!!

No worries Mo. I'm just happy they didn't get more from you. The nerve of some 'people '

No they didn't do any more. This is what drives me nuts.. they stopped my cc a week ago saying suspicious activity.. i was at our local Walmart. buy things i always buy..
but DON'T cancel it when it's in a totally different neighborhood and store i would never step foot in!

Man!!! I need to come up there and hunt some people DOWN! What on earth!?!?!? Sheesh.. at least you are you and in general very positive and can still stay on the up and up, and it helps to have the Dis too

I need a good Texan girl..
I always have to have a good attitude. there has been so much bad that you learn to pick up dust off and keep moving.. (fires, garage break ins etc..)

Saw you FB post that baseball was over! Yay! A whole month off! But then, WHAT!? Coaching basketball!! Bahahahahah... of course you would agree to this because you are SUPERWOMAN and no one else could juggle all these jobs and activities like you! No one I know deserves a Disney vacation more than you Mo!! I am sure you will figure the sport out and do great!

Thank you!!
I am not superwoman more like a stupid women for taking it all in..
I do deserve a lovely Disney Vacation!!! I cannot wait for it either!

Yay for your disney side sticker! Got mine today! I just love checking the mail when you have Disney in your future! You never know when something fun will be in there like that!!!

You had a TON of Mickey magic in your Mail box!!!!! it's the best when you have FUN mail instead of bills???

Your list seems like a lot, but really its not too bad, youll get it done I am certain!

you know i will.. I just need a full day off to do it..

Oh no, poor peanut! Glad she is OK. Hugs to her.

Oh yeah she is fine! Thanks!!!

Still so pissed about your ccs, and your license... Annnd your tow hitch. Makes me so angry.

you and me both.. i was beyond pissed.. then the police station on Friday??? another story. hold that thought.

Basketball eh? Seriously... We need to get you a platter for everything you have on your plate. Just say no. Practice... No, no, no... Repeat after me...

this will not be a good season with me as a coach.

So happy to hear aboot all the fun stuff you have to do in the next 71 days... It sneaks up on you don't it? My count is much shorter than yours, and I am a wreck!

I bet you are!!! Yes i am flipping out over everything i need to do!

I hope you have a great weekend. . Love ya, miss ya.

It was good Sunday was AWESOME!

And if Lois comes to MN... She better grab you on the way... Wish Suzi was on the way too, and not all by her lonesome on the island of Maine.

D~

you got it!

Oh no, I'm so sorry your card and license were stolen! Who would think at a kids sports function you'd have to worry about that sort of thing? Dang! Glad it's getting all taken care of, but what a hassle!

yes yes yes headache and hassle!!! Lock you stuff up!!! No matter where you are!!!

Love the photos of the team having so much fun. That's what childhood should be…carefree and full of laughter.

YES!!! I try so hard to allow them to have a WONDERFUL childhood. there is so much yuck out there at least they can say damn i had it good...

Right D~…I tried to teach her to say no when she was contemplating that 4th job…but it didn't do any good. Don't tell Mo, but I think she needs an intervention. Soon!!!

I do... your all so right.. I do..

Yeah, Mo, coaching basketball? Really? (okay, where's my "faint" smilie???) They do say if you want something done, ask the busiest person you know. Guess that's what the committee did! Although taking on yet another "job" is not what you need (IMHO), I know you'll do great and the kids will love you!

Ah i will have a blast with the kids.. but i am NOT promising ANY wins...

Volleyball?? I am SO ready for the season to start!!!

Loved the pics of the horseback riding. Such a beautiful setting. Making memories with your precious family...life doesn't get any better than that!

that was THE BEST place i have ever been too.

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and rest of the week!

Screw Mondays..

I thought I was busy! Nope, you are the queen.

Not the queen that's Tess!
Yes i am busy.. Nothing that anyone can't handle!

Coaching 4th grade basketball? I would not be able to do it, but then, noone would ever ask me. I don't come off as the athletic type. Sometimes my clumsiness is a good thing. At least you are an involved parent. Too soon, the kiddos are grown and you are dropping them off at college. Your kids are blessed to have you as their mother. Keep telling them that.

Not a basketball type person.. I have one more person to call to take it over before i really have to start that nonsense!!!

[MidnightParade]

Okay I'm joining it! I see you everywhere so it was about time, lol, although it seems you are just a hop skip and jump from your trip!

I have read through most of the Disney posts, although I must have missed the change from AoA to POR!?? POR is awesome though so yay to that!? Did get to add your universal day?

Ugh! That is awful that your car got broken into! What is wrong with people?! Makes me sad and upset! Karma will get them though, hopefully with something painful and itchy.

[Chicago Mo]

well as you can see the update didn't happen. I am really tired of being BUSY!

Yesterday i finally caught up with everyone reports. took me ALLLLLLLLLL day.

Called Disney made another deposit. my end goal is slowly coming down.
When i got home i fully intended to go shopping for the kids and some stuff we need for the trip. ya know necessities.. like.. CLOTHES! geesh the boys had almost no shorts what's so ever. who allowed them to grow??

reading other's reports people have their FP down to the exact times/days. have a game plan of their days, also starting to pack! i had thought about that.. when i realized the mentioned above. the kids don't have any clothes TO pack! I looked at my long list of things to do. and realized I still need to get 'costumes' for MNSSHP.
I have been looking for months for ringer tees. Old navy had them.. then POOF as i tried to buy them they were G.O.N.E.
we have a tee shirt shop close to us, ran over there after work. they will be calling me with a quote IF they can find the ringer shirts. why is this difficult???
once i was home my parents were there. apparently it was time to come up with a game plan for the 4th of July.
StepDad is also a member of the D.A.V White Sox blocked some pretty awesome sections and cheap tickets, we will be tailgating and enjoying the 4th at a white sox game!!! LOTS OF FUN i cannot wait for this!!!
My oldest Meg (from Next door) was over in the pool with the kids, we sat with her for a while let the kids play then we HAD To go shopping!!!!
Tom despises Walmart, off we went to Target. I am happy to report i believe we have enough clothes for the trip! several items crossed off my insane list of to do's.
I wasn't able to try anything on since i have the WORST sun burn i have had in years. SPF my ***.. that is all i have to say about suntan lotion...
anyway...
Today i am here with more work.. then i am a call in to my Job #2 which i am praying i don't have to go in since tonight is also the boys baseball banquet! HOW did i miss this date?!?! Not in my calendar it doesn't get done.
Thursday i am working job #2
Friday Whiting Indiana will have a huge parade Guess who will be joining in this year festivities?!?! DISNEY CHARACTERS!!! we WILL be there to see that. then jet home get ready for TAILGATING WITH MY CRAZY FAMILY!!! I CANNOT WAIT! really excited aboot this..
Saturday i think i am working and something is going on Sunday.. i don't remember.
If you want to see all the indiana fun here is the link: WHITING

Today i have to get some planning and lists compiled I hope you all have a wonderful day! the weather is BEAUTIFUL this week we deserve it after the crazy storms that came threw like a fat man at a buffet.

I know there is more to tell you and honestly my mind is racing.
On that note i am going to clear my head in my work here once i am back to normal.. I will come back aboot the trip.. Until them here is a SMALL update on the dis meet!

[Chicago Mo]

Day 3!!!!
I was SO EXCITED about this day! We were going here:

The Museum of Science and Industry!!!​

We all woke up early had breakfast and out the door!!!

we were a wee bit early, decided to drive around see where your president is from along with the college. UoC.












it was about time for the museum to open and we were on our way!



I adore the museum! Our main purpose was:

Not horrid selfies which distort your face.. But to see this dude!






Well... this....


Trying to get all of us in the picture i did NOT know where my head was. So i am going to chalk this up as I had to lay my weary head... "Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more"

Once up the escalator we RAN FULL SPEED Throwing elderly people to the side and tromping on little children who got on our way we need "rope drop" for here:

With Tess leading the way we were FIRST in line!!!
See in the above picture??? See the camera around Tess' neck? Mind asking here where her pictures are?

All pictures i am posting are D and Suzi. I still have not edited my pictures...


what a lovely man!!!



stopping here.. im not going over my photo limit!
