Happy Hump Day to you all!!! Only 21 days until we will be on an airplane heading toward Sunny Florida!!! I cannot wait to leave home for awhile. Today is Tanner's 5th birthday and boy do I feel OLD now! My baby is 5. So we have a really big weekend ahead of us with his real birthday today and then a little birthday party on Friday, Ryan has to work all day Saturday and then Easter on Sunday. The kids are off from 2:00 pm today until 9:00 am on Wed the 14th. EEGADS what am I going to do with them home and much more limited internet time???
Alice--Thanks for the offer! Today is another day and I feel much more calm and at peace about it all. I can get back to my cruise giddiness and feel ok about it again!
Jason- Congrats on being finished with your cruise supply list! I just need to get some last minute stuff like film and I'm going to put disposable cameras in the Easter Baskets along with some airplane toys and some sunglasses so I still need to get that stuff and some travel size stuff but other than that we are DONE! I have printed out all the confirmation numbers from Emails, phone numbers and even the dining rotation matrix (thank you SO much by the way).
Amber--I think going WILL be the best thing for us! We aren't telling the kids anything about the job problems so just watching them enjoy it will be great! I am feeling more confident today after his late interview appointment last night and the talking to his boss and other higher up's yesterday afternoon that they assured him he would be gainfully employed for sure until October and if the S&P upgrades them the prospect for longer is great!
AAHH the 6th deck...what a rowdy place that is going to be! Especially it seems a lot of us are at the front part of the 6th deck...we can all puke together going over the gulf stream! LOL Too funny about notifiying son that you spent money NOT on Madonna but on "ron jon" LOL. I went and got Easter stuff too yesterday...bought them each a bucket because everytime we tried to get one last time we went they were out so we bought buckets and I think by the time I got done buying some sand toy for each kid I'd spent about 60 bucks so this time we are bringing our own! I'm going to fill it with mostly stuff for the cruise since my kids don't need extra candy to make them sick and if they each get one more stuffed animal they won't have room in their beds for themselves! Hope you can find some stuff for Easter for your ds!
Lisa--Glad to hear that the riddle explanation wasn't confusing! Thanks for the job support! And another 6th decker..how funny! You aren't too far from us then because we have 6024 and 6026! I haven't gotten anything from Disney about my excursions either! I guess I should get on the phone and call and make sure and ask them to email it to me. Hope you get your docs today!
Reine--The IT job market here is SO SLOW for what Ryan does and the amount of money he is making now it's limited to only about 15 jobs posted right now! I think things will pick up! His current job got a 40 million dollar lawsuit against it, investigated by the FTC for charging fines that they now say they can't charge and their ratings by Moody and S&P dropped. The ratings are coming up, the lawsuit is paid up and I think they have stopped the "bleeding" and are now trying to heal up. They are getting rid of a LOT of the out of state entities (which means less travel for Ryan
) but I think they just are cutting costs so much it may be hard for them to keep the company above water! Cool that your son got contacted by a head hunter! We will keep him in our prayers as well!!!
Cool thread about Robin! I read that and thought "Yep and she's going to be on OUR ship!" LOL
Hope you hear from DD soon about availability! I need to call the excursion desk to find out if they do in fact have me down for my excursions since I have received NOTHING in the mail! Better to let the kids down gently at home and have them melt down than at sea in the company of others!
I'm hooked to this board as well (if you can't tell) I need to go to several self help meetings such as AA, Packing list makers are us, Dis board addicts who can't get anything else done during the day, obssessive planner...and the list goes on and on!
Conny--Unless something HUGE happens in the next 21 days we will still be there for the meet at the POR pool!!! Ryan said we were going because the whole thing is paid for except the POR stay, tickets to WDW and the limo so I guess we are going! I'm getting excited again
and I was just kidding around with you about being quiet! As long as you aren't doing aerobics up there or anything *wild* it is great!
I will so keep hoping that today you get your docs! I get my kids home now with me for 7 days...oh yippeeee! Mom I'm bored! It's overcast, cool and rainy here and that's the rest of the week's outlook..can't wait!
Well I guess I will go hurry and clean my house up again so I can sit here all day and referee fights from the computer room!
3 weeks...3 weeks...3 weeks!

lol.. I guess I'm also a 007 fan (for Pierce, of course!!)... lol...
The kids are out of school until next Wednesday now and of course the weather turned to crap with rain and a high of 45 today and the rest of the weekend. I shouldn't complain about the rain but can't it just rain when the kids are ALL in school???
