What will we celebrate? BLESSINGS!!*Trip # 10

[Mndisneygirl]

Great news on the 10 lbs!! I wish I could say the same. I didn't really try too hard though, so I have nothing and no one to blame but me. I thought it would be nice to be down a few before we left, but oh well, the clothes still fit!

Looks like you have a lot of running around to do today!! I'm down to the last few things to do. I haven't been able to sleep for the last few nights. Last night I was WIDE awake from 3:20 to about 5, then Paige came in at 5:30! She says, Mommy, only one more day and then we leave!! Plus she has a field trip to a play tomorrow at school, so she's doubly excited for tomorrow. So basically I've been awake since 3:20. Need more caffeine! I swear, I'm like the little kid in the ad. Too excited to sleep! Thank goodness for adrenaline - that's my fuel!

Okay floridascgirl and Sheree~~~ Just checked Accuweather...keep in mind most meteorologists say after the third day out...it's just an educated guess!! But.. I like Accuweather...they are the closest....anyway: Friday lots of rain and storms..Sat rainy and breezy..clearing up in the afternoon..high in the upper 60s. Sun-70 and sunshine..Mon, Tues, 70s and sunny. Wed cooler (66) and chance of slight rain...Th..70s and sunny (I think it's up to like 76 here)..Fri,sat, and Sunday upper 70s and sunshine with some clouds.
Sounds great to me!!!!! Of course, Sat I wanted to surpise my family with doing the hot air balloon...but if it rains we can't. But, I would rather it rain then than the rest of our triip! We can go back and do it another day....I am getting so excited!!!! Okay,...off to take a shower..dress the kids...get the car outta the shop...do oil/tires....check back later!!!! Sheree....you need a coke or something!!!! and a candy bar! ha!!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I've already had tea, candy and two choc. chip cookies!

Shawna - are you going to do online check in? I'm thinking about it. But I'm not sure if I can at BLT. I guess if I have time I'll try. Did I PM you with my cell #?

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Sheree..I was coming back to ask you the exact same thing!! I don't know..what if we get a weird room? I guess we can deal with it when we get there...of course, all the rooms on the Theme Park side should be the same,..so I may go ahead...you should call and see if they let you...I just got an email with that info yesterday.. I think you did give me your cell... I am gonna check now.
What you need is a NAP!!! Can you squeeze in a 20 min break? You are gonna PASS OUT if you don't get a little rest!!! Of course...that's what tomorrow in the car is for!! ha!!! I bet you can sleep good tonight....
Sometimes I just do better with real food instead of straight junk if I try to stay awake..candy and coke makes me more tired if that's all I have had...you should eat a salad or something for lunch..get some protein!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Yeah, I'm going to have a nice long lunch break today! Might be face down on my desk! I'm actually sitting in court "listening" to a child protection hearing right now. We only have one more after this. Love this quiet keyboard!
I have brought a pretty healthy lunch today so that should help. I also have dinner plans with some girlfriends to celebrate a couple of their birthdays! Am I crazy?

I seem to recall that I got an email about on line check in too. I'll have to look into that.

Here we don't have juries on juvenile matters. That would be awful! It's all tried to the Court. Today we are doing review hearings. Sure makes you grateful for the family and life you have. I always go home and hug my kids after these days!

[Disney Mommy 3]

DS14 says thanks for the birthday wishes!! We took him to lunch at a place that has the hibachi grill...it was fun!! He got Itunes card..books, and the Owl City cd (which I love!).. and a coupon from us to go pick out a camera!! So, I took him to Best Buy and got his new Canon!! AND we came out to snow!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! It's still snowing..we should get 3 inches tonight We are sooooo not used to this!!!!! But, it's not sticking...just melting on hitting the ground...hope our flight isn't delayed too bad tomorrow. Houston is suppose to get it tonight and tomorrow!!!!
Kim...thanks for the words about my mom! I know the Lord has this planned at this certain time...she has to make her own decisions and not rely on me and Mike to guide her...she's gotta ask/lean on Him...perfect timing, right? God knows what he is doing!!!! Well..just gotta finish up my suitcase and then I am taking Annie to the dogsitter and we are ready!!!!! I plan on sitting on this bed watching the snow till I fall asleep tonight!!!I am pretty sure Mike will bring his laptop..so I can check in periodically if he has it. Okay...I will sign off later this evening!!!
