Sorry, a little behind. Crazy busy here.

You busy? Maybe because you are leaving tomorrow!!!!

Your weekends scare me... Seriously. LOL
Yay that you all get to start REAL planning tonight!!!!!!!!!! I love planning... I really do... It's the best part!!! However - I almost always end up doing the same things, then I have to squish in new things... It's a mess. LOL

I will still be around for a few more days...

D~ <---- Who doesn't understand why her ticker keeps stopping? I've changed it twice now...

It says you have 17 hours!!!
MY weekends??? Have you read your report?!?! i'm still confused!

I am going to try SO hard to do some new stuff! then again we will have Jen and Chris with us and i want them to do certain things too!!!

Just stopping by to say hello!! I haven't been around lately. I absolutely LOVE the whole family picture in front of the Muppets fountain. You sure do have a beautiful family! I love how Meg has her arms out as if to say "Yep...these are my people". I have one of Caden like that from our trip.

Will you LOOK How adorable this family is!!!!!!!

this is probably the only time Meg accepts her brothers are HERS!!!

I have to agree with D~ that your weekends scare me just a little. I don't know how you do it! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Can't wait to hear all about it..your weekend adventures always make me smile!

and i was going to make is short! well then i guess i will have to tell you about another hectic weekend!
*********************************************************

Well. HELLO PEOPLE!
here we go... YOU ASKED FOR IT!
Friday. was my dog training class and i was SO EXCITED for once.. I have two puppies!!!!!! 7 week old german shepards! I promise to have pictures of them this coming weekend! they are SO SO sweet and adorable! thankfully it was UNEVENTFUL the puppies had a blast playing Logan had even more fun playing with them! The advanced class went as normal. my beginners class is doing AWESOME i am SO VERY proud of all of them!!! they are sitting staying standing downing only in two weeks of training!!! this week they started heeling i hope they keep up the great work!!!
Saturday. all i can say PHEW im glad that's over! The forest preserve is about 11 blocks away (thank goodness)
had to get there about 9am for setting up the rings table etc etc etc.
the picnic ended about 4:30! we had games, blessing of the animals, demos, adoptions centers you name it we did it.
you can see pictures here: SSABDTC which stands for South Side All Breed Dog Training Club
yeah it's long. when i got home my ENTIRE body ached like never before. between set up and break down I WAS DONE. again was a great picnic and everyone had a great time including kids family and animals!!!
Saturday night Jen adn Chris were supposed to come by for a BBQ. Tom had gone out to do the shopping while i was working the responsible DOG OWNERSHIP DAY. when i got home i made the burgers had hot dog going then Jen text and said they were WAY behind on packing! 6 am Sunday Morning they were on their way to Wisconsin Dells! So happy they were getting away for a couple of days.
So it was a quiet evening of my taking pain meds (which if you know me I NEVER take them) Iced my knees down and off to bed about 10pm!
Sunday. SHOPPING DAY! you know why? BECAUSE THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so happy about this!
but i am NOT happy about the amount of money had to spend! Thankfully the dollar store had MOST of the GINORMOUS supply list i have dont' forget x's 3!!! anyway what we couldn't get from the dollar store we headed off to Target! bookbags lunch boxes and the loose ends we headed towards the cash register and saw a sign... NEEDED this:

HOOOOOOOORAYYYYYYYYYYY
and on sale!!!!
stopped at office max to get the specific pens needed... Yeah specific pens.
then to taco bell for much needed fast food!

had to get home so Tom could get ready for work then off to Indiana Meg had a birthday party Of COURSE i went to the WRONG bowling place and was out of my way of about 15 minutes. FINALLY got her there came home to PLAY some Disney FUN!!!
played with the boys made dinner then off again to pick up peanut.
once we were home i was DONE it was about 8:30. by the time everything and everyone was settled it was after 9. once my head hit the pillow i was conked OUT. i think one of the boys came in and just hugged me. ( i love that) then went back to bed. Sleep walking hugs are A-OKAY with me!

nope still haven't started the new job. something about their new HR system and myself and another girl is held up because of the change over from the old system to the new system lets just say i am not amused.

I have two private (puppy) training i have been asked about which is AWESOME i have to find free time somewhere for this.

today: My BIL is the president of the kids school athletics. Called me and asked to "help" with football/cheeleading registering...
you know what that is turning into. I am doing ALL registering for football tonight at the field. Thankfully he sweet talked my sister into helping.. another Cop who is good at his job... can talk someone into hand cuffs. Or is it me?!?!

tonight is going to be another crazy night of rushing around
I still have to get the kids uniform shirts, shoes, honestly i forgot what else i need!!!! today is also book signing. 450.00 for books we have to give back at the end of the year.. someone please explain this to me?
i could find them on amazon for cheaper...

OK. i Believe that's it for now. going back get some work here done make sure my bank account is surviving like it should.
then back to my Disney planning book!!!

I hope everyone is happy and healthy going to be dead around here with everyone i KNOW IN DISNEY within the next day!!!

I hope everyone has a MAGICAL BEAUTIFUL TRIP!!!!
those on facebook i will be stalking!!!

Totally agree - adorable-ness!!!

And Mo... Mo, Mo, Mo... Do you not see my eyes rolling into the back of my head? Actually - it's sort of a spinning motion... <--- Well, not quite like that...

I'd love to see someone talk you into handcuffs - I can totally picture it! LOL

Glad the puppies and doggies are doing so well in their classes... I think it's too late for MM...

Can't even remember what else I had to comment on - I am sure it was important...

I am tempted to see if there is a cheap flight from Chicago to MCO...

D~

 

[DMGeurts]

Oh yes, that was it... The Midgets are adorable... How could I forget that?

D~ <--- Who had Disney Infinity on preorder at Target - but I think I would rather spend the $$ on my trip this week than on that... Disney Infinity will still be there when I get home... Sigh...

You've been very busy and I have been MIA. Looks like life is good in your world. Hope, that they fix that HR glitch soon. Have a great week. All our buddies are in the world.
Jane

 

[babynala]

Aren't weekends supposed to be relaxing? Clearly that is not the case in your family.

When do the kids go back? I didn't think about school supplies x3. Yikes.

I will try to check in since so many are off having fun in WDW. As we wait patiently for Suzi's PP pictures.

Yes weekends are supposed to be for relaxing. <- i had to look to the word up for it's meaning. As the saying goes. I will relax when i'm dead!! When i have a couple of hours of down time i'm antsy!

Yes school supplies are expensive so is the school/book fees/ sports.
i'll catch up one day. ya know when i win the lottery! i wish i could send them to a public school, i have nothing around me that i trust my kids wont come out lovin the thug life!
Yes Suzi camera-less...
******************************

In Disney Suzi met Kathy yesterday at the Poly!! i did get the live updates there and they are SO STINKING CUTE!!!

D~ right NOW is at the airport with the girls!! no coffee in hand.
I know Dee leaves today along with Denovagirl as well!!!



i CANNOT wait to hear how everyone's trips went and if everyone was able to meet up!

and FINALLY able to see all the fun surprises Dee has for her DD2! the suspense is KILLING ME!

I am glad we are here and can keep each other entertained until we all hear from our crowd of Dis who's there!

On my Disney front. I have been busily working on my planning book and getting all the information i need to keep it going and thoughts in place!
Still getting the Jen and Chris planning book together as well LOTS OF FUN!!
Need to call the Job today to find out my start date because this is getting out of hand.

Meg has cheerleading today and that is about all that's going on! so to me this is down time!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Hello WHOEVER is still reading!


I have to say yesterday was a lot of fun tears of joy and well, again busy.
My phone's battery was drained twice!
I have to tell you here and now i truly, TRULY love my dis friends.

I was texting with D~ all morning! making sure she was safe just like i did with Suzi! She and the girls landed SAFELY!!! She was SO THOUGHTFUL to send several pictures along the way including the WELCOME arch! here is where the tears of joy started. during this Suzi was also texting! making sure D was on her way to the resort Suzi wanted to welcome D and the girls home! i am here in Chicago and they included me in all this!!! Yep Suzi called me while D~ and the girls walked into the resort! again came tears of joy!!!


the rest is their story and i will let them tell it!

i was NOT lying when i said i am stalking all of them. I am! the pictures of Kathy and Mark on their Anniversary dinner is simply hear melting in how sweet it is!
Ok OK enough again it is their story to tell..

AROUND HERE I had some things to do for my BIL and football for the school. I fgeel bad for him as he is the President of the athletics kids school the football Coord AND the head coach for the varsity football team. the guy needs a bit of help. Last night i helped again with registration.. uniform pick ups, Had a friend take peanut to practice. once the registration was over i hustled it over to the field for meg. BIL asked to help with registration for cheeleading... (NO!) was in my head. Yes came out of my mouth.
Good news they have it on Friday.. I have Dog training on fridays so i can't if i wanted to! Then as i am NO WHERE near these two talking. I have been volunteered into the planning of HOMECOMING... WHAT THE!!!!
fine.

So add that to my ever growing belt i wear.

Yesterday i have found several sites i can use to plan a road trip! how cool is that?!? Even tells me the round about cost! i have been playing around with them so far it's telling me round trip 500.00 umm yeah that's a bit better then over 2000 in air fare!
the way home i hope to stop at a couple of cool places. we shall see! and time will tell!

Other then this i am working very hard on my planner!!! adding the route to take while driving. Poses with the characters for photography plus the I MUST photograph. i really want to do twilight walking parks. then i am REALLY hoping to get a lot of after dark shots.
I am still convinced we will be doing a split stay. i cannot bring myself to pull away from the poly.

i MUST clean my grubby office and get to work!



again my phone's battery was DEAD!

 

[Iamthequeen]

I'm still here Mo, sadly.

I remember those hectic days when I had four kids in school - one year it was one kid in each school -HS MS Elem and Kindergarten. Talk about hectic! That's the year marching band started for me and lasted for 13 more years! I basically said good-bye to my life from August through November. Now with the kids grown, its alot more quiet at my house on weekends.

Charlie and I were talking about next years trip and we are planning for about the same time as you! So we will be doing the meets and posts and picture taking while everyone else sits home and reads about our awesome trips!

Ok, back to work - I have get all this stuff off my desk by the end of next week.

oh my goodness that sounds like a LOT MORE then what i am doing!!!
I honestly don't know what i am going to do if my house is EVER quiet. they better gradually ease me into that!!! otherwise i may end up in a psych ward!!!

HA! i laughed so hard out loud at this!!
Are you really going about the same time?!?! THAT'S fantastic news!!!!


we need a girls trip. All of us.

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

We just got home from mom's today and I have finished unpacking....just catching up really quickly on a couple ptrs before I am heading out to take the girls to the waterpark for an hour or two..... I will try to post my before and after pics tonight so you can see them in the morning!!!!! (hilarious )

You are lucky to be in contact with everyone while they are at the world....I am just patiently waiting the TRs!!! I don't even know where to look on facebook to get my fix hahaha


The kids pics are all so cute!! Still in awe of your hectic life!!!

we need a girls trip. All of us.

You know, I enjoyed nearly every single minute being a "band aide"! Lol. I also worked on costumes for the school play and musical for most of those years too. I loved being involved with the high school kids - for the most part.

Yep, Charlie and I decided we want to book a bounceback (if we get one) for the same week we are going this year! YAY!

I'm up for a girls trip!

 

[disneychic2]

Hey Mo! I'm just checking in and am dizzy with your life as usual! I'm so glad you've heard from Suzi and D~ and that they are doing great. I can't wait to read about their trips!

I'm still in Virginia, but will be going home on Friday morning. I have enjoyed being here, but am ready to get back home and spend some time with Dan. I just wish I lived closer so I could see my grandkids on a more regular basis. Thank goodness for FaceTime and all the other ways to keep in touch. My daughter in Colorado used to Skype me and little Charlotte would ask if I would read her a book for bedtime. Which of course I was happy to do. Love my electronics!

I'm glad you're really getting into the planning of your trip. It is always so much fun. And then before you know it, your trip is here. I've never stayed at the Poly, but it looks fabulous. I enjoyed all those pics you posted earlier. Don't know if we'll ever break down and spend what it would cost to stay there. Right now, I'd rather put the money into more days. That could change, though.

Back to school is so expensive! And it is crazy what the schools expect you to pay for. I'm glad those days are behind me. But I do remember the days when all four of the kids had ball games and trying to get them there, watch a little, then get somewhere else. Dan and I usually split up. Then high school hit: the band...we were chaperones for all the trips and games, swim team, plays, choir, softball, track not to mention the summer activities. Life? what life? But boy, you sure have it right. There's nothing like our kids. I would do it all over again. You are a fantastic mama to those little munchkins and I know you're making the most of the time you have with them. The time goes so fast!

Well, it's late (or early, depending on how you look at it) and I need sleep to deal with the energy of a 2, 4 and 6 year old. I hope you hear about your new job soon and that you can start soon. Have fun planning your trip and oh yeah, homecoming??? Oh girl!

 

[spiritsim]

Checking in now that the house is quiet again. I miss the girls already, and Raina too of course. Greg is so quiet you don't even know he's around...

Back to school.....wow that's mind boggling what it costs now a days to (rent) books for the year.

Ok I need these sites we are now thinking of driving, first to save money and second to go at a relaxed pace and make a couple stops along the way.

Glad your home safe and sound. Boo on having to leave!!!
Did the girls have a good time at the water park?
Still waiting on the pictures of the van.. Just sayin...
I am IMPATIENTLY waiting on the TR.. I am mostly BOTHERING them so send my pictures now.. I think they did the wishes dessert party last night.. not too sure.
thanks i do like the kiddos. So precious! ALL children are. i really have as special place in my heart for toddler and kids. the babies you can have.
Your life isn't so hum drum either there missy!!!

I'm up for a girls trip!

Band aide!!! fantastic!!!
I really do love being a part of it all! i will look at them ALL like they are INSANE for giving me more and more. in the end EVERYTHING i do is for the kids. better baseball better football. just better. i know they will look back and remember everything that i did to keep them happy..

YES bounceback! that's so exciting!!!
awesome! we will DEFINITELY meet up! especially for a few of these: a the poly???
yes girls trip. in the works!

Hey Mo! I'm just checking in and am dizzy with your life as usual! I'm so glad you've heard from Suzi and D~ and that they are doing great. I can't wait to read about their trips!

now you know why i have the dizzy personality!!!
Yes i heard from them mostly on D~ first day. I can't bother them too much.. I do miss them BUT i have ALL OF YOU!!!

I'm still in Virginia, but will be going home on Friday morning. I have enjoyed being here, but am ready to get back home and spend some time with Dan. I just wish I lived closer so I could see my grandkids on a more regular basis. Thank goodness for FaceTime and all the other ways to keep in touch. My daughter in Colorado used to Skype me and little Charlotte would ask if I would read her a book for bedtime. Which of course I was happy to do. Love my electronics!

Virginia must be beautiful!!! i can only imagine never been just have seen pictures!
This coming Friday? a little bittersweet isn't it?
amazing what our technology has become! who would have thought our future is the JETSONS!!! SO sweet your able to read to her that's so loving!!! Like a hallmark commercial!
love electronics yet i think the kids now are abusing them..

I'm glad you're really getting into the planning of your trip. It is always so much fun. And then before you know it, your trip is here. I've never stayed at the Poly, but it looks fabulous. I enjoyed all those pics you posted earlier. Don't know if we'll ever break down and spend what it would cost to stay there. Right now, I'd rather put the money into more days. That could change, though.

yes the cost is high. then again anywhere i stay n Disney with a family of 5 is going to be outrageous. i still believe they need more options for a family larger then 4. Families are BIG now, the amount of multi-births is amazing!!
in my kids class alone there are my triplet and 2 sets of twins! families are absolutely getting larger.
they did just add AOA who does accommodate larger families. maybe i should just shut up now!
I would MUCH rather put the money into extra days!!! more days at Disney is better then ANY RESORT!

Back to school is so expensive! And it is crazy what the schools expect you to pay for. I'm glad those days are behind me. But I do remember the days when all four of the kids had ball games and trying to get them there, watch a little, then get somewhere else. Dan and I usually split up. Then high school hit: the band...we were chaperones for all the trips and games, swim team, plays, choir, softball, track not to mention the summer activities. Life? what life? But boy, you sure have it right. There's nothing like our kids. I would do it all over again. You are a fantastic mama to those little munchkins and I know you're making the most of the time you have with them. The time goes so fast!

ugh these prices!!! are they nuts?!?! where is the money going?!?!
Yes you are busy as a parent. and it flys by. at least you KNOW you did everything you could for them as they were growing up! you were there you were involved! cannot take that away! nothing to look back and say "i wish i could of..." because i did and i was! including doing anything i possibly can to make their little lives better. Disney is that place! and i WILL get them there as much as i possibly can!

Well, it's late (or early, depending on how you look at it) and I need sleep to deal with the energy of a 2, 4 and 6 year old. I hope you hear about your new job soon and that you can start soon. Have fun planning your trip and oh yeah, homecoming??? Oh girl!

sleep yes sleep and coffee helps with the energy of the young!!!
oh so do i!!! i called them again yesterday this is just becoming aggravating. starting to spoil my thoughts on the company.


****************************************************

i am able to route my way down to DISNEY! it will take about 16 hours. non stop! i hope to leave Chicago about 4pm and drive on through following the second star to the right and straight on till morning.
which will bring us to whatever resort by 8-9am!!!

the way home i would like to make a couple of stops see the south!
i have LOTS of ideas and plans in my head nothing organized.
this needs to happen soon otherwise my head may explode!!!

leave you with a cheesy picture!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Hey you snuck this in on me!!!

Checking in now that the house is quiet again. I miss the girls already, and Raina too of course. Greg is so quiet you don't even know he's around...

Back to school.....wow that's mind boggling what it costs now a days to (rent) books for the year.

aw! sorry you have an empty nest again!

as for Greg!
need to waken the beast within!

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

He was only quiet because he was avoiding us!!! hahaha. I think he's the only one that actually got a "vacation"-extra sleep, alone time......aaaaah

I'm still not good with the multi quote thing so here goes

You can keep the toddlers for me, (well mainly age 3)! They just drive me batty!!!!!! I love babies and anyone 4 and up (they are usually semi "trained" by then)

the van pics are finally up.....thought I got them up earlier, but

I applaud you for being so involved with the kids! They grow up so fast and all we can do is be in the moment, even if we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off!!!

As for driving overnight to Disney.....it's a great idea, however, you will be EXHAUSTED when you get there. We drive overnight every time we go somewhere and it always takes us the whole next day to recover. I'm not sure I would like to spend the first day at Disney too tired to do anything... but it may work for you (since you have neverending energy anyways from just living your everyday life )

 

[disneychic2]

Will you and DH share the driving so you can catch a little sleep on the way? 16 hours is a LOT of time in the car! I love to travel by car, but Dan always wants to fly everywhere. Can't say I blame him. But there are so many wonderful things to see in every state and it's great fun to discover hidden treasures along the way.

Electronics are both a blessing and a curse, for sure. But I love that our friends who are in Disney right now can send pics and we can see them right away. How awesome is that?! Of course it makes us wish we were there all that much more, right? I would love a girls only trip one day! None of my friends share my love of Disney and neither do three of our four children. I just don't know where I went wrong!

Well, I'm all packed, the car is partially loaded (I brought a ton of stuff for the 3 week stay!!!) and I've showered and am ready to go. The kids will be up soon and I'll get my last couple of hours in. We've had so much fun together, but I miss Dan something awful! Not looking forward to the 6 hour drive by myself, but it usually goes quickly.

You know, six hours in a westernly direction from my house puts me in Chicago. Just sayin'....

Have a great weekend and kiss those munchkins for me. And the dogs. Maybe the ferret? And that was not a cheesy photo! I love those magic shots!

 

[Chicago Mo]

He was only quiet because he was avoiding us!!! hahaha. I think he's the only one that actually got a "vacation"-extra sleep, alone time......aaaaah

the BUM!!! well at least someone got some sleep!!!

I'm still not good with the multi quote thing so here goes

LESSON!!
see at the right corner of the post? once has "QUOTE" then the second button (",) <- that thing.
well when you want to quote several people at once you click that goofy thing on each post you want to quote.
THEN
when you want to post your reply to them all click the QUOTE button.
you will have several bracket [ QUOTE = person name ; some number and end bracket]
type away. If you want to break up a quote like i did to yours it gets tricky.
copy and paste the first bracket [ QUOTE = person name ; some number and end bracket] add your text here then add ---> [ QUOTE ]
over and over. does this make any sense?!?
i can help you some more if it doesn't!

You can keep the toddlers for me, (well mainly age 3)! They just drive me batty!!!!!! I love babies and anyone 4 and up (they are usually semi "trained" by then)

i LOVE toddlers. people say terrible 2's i liked 2. 3 was something wicked this way comes!!!

the van pics are finally up.....thought I got them up earlier, but

I saw them and all i can say is:

I applaud you for being so involved with the kids! They grow up so fast and all we can do is be in the moment, even if we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off!!!

Thank you!!! yep live in the moment but try to remember the details! all the running is what makes it FLY by!!!

As for driving overnight to Disney.....it's a great idea, however, you will be EXHAUSTED when you get there. We drive overnight every time we go somewhere and it always takes us the whole next day to recover. I'm not sure I would like to spend the first day at Disney too tired to do anything... but it may work for you (since you have neverending energy anyways from just living your everyday life )

We will be tired but the first day will be a little slow anyway enjoy some of MK dinner then the resort for swimming and relaxing!! gear up for the next day!!

Will you and DH share the driving so you can catch a little sleep on the way? 16 hours is a LOT of time in the car! I love to travel by car, but Dan always wants to fly everywhere. Can't say I blame him. But there are so many wonderful things to see in every state and it's great fun to discover hidden treasures along the way.

Yes we will.. I WILL give him a sleeping pill. he SAYS he will be too excited to sleep on the drive. Guess what.. I will knock him out. i plan on taking the first of the drive then when he does wake up we will switch. i can sleep for a couple of hours. then we should be there! the kids will sleep MOST of the ride but this is going to screw with our systems. so like i mentioned above the first day will be a relaxing one.

Electronics are both a blessing and a curse, for sure. But I love that our friends who are in Disney right now can send pics and we can see them right away. How awesome is that?! Of course it makes us wish we were there all that much more, right?

your not whistling Dixie!!! i do want to be there RIGHT NOW!!! knowing i can live threw them i am OK. i still get my Disney fix with them and i can ramble here and you all know how i feel!!!

I would love a girls only trip one day! None of my friends share my love of Disney and neither do three of our four children. I just don't know where I went wrong!

All over a girls trip! how fun would that be?!?!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA where you went wrong! that's funny you didn't.. at... all!!! They will get it at some point!

Well, I'm all packed, the car is partially loaded (I brought a ton of stuff for the 3 week stay!!!) and I've showered and am ready to go. The kids will be up soon and I'll get my last couple of hours in. We've had so much fun together, but I miss Dan something awful! Not looking forward to the 6 hour drive by myself, but it usually goes quickly.

bittersweet...I am so glad you got to spend time with your little munchkins! give them all big hugs from me!
and Dan is in your sights!!!
6 hours.. i hope your signing loudly all by yourself in the car! i would. make faces at other drivers too. that freaks them out. lots of fun..

You know, six hours in a westernly direction from my house puts me in Chicago. Just sayin'....

Come on by!!!! love to do Chicago with my Dis peeps!!!!

Have a great weekend and kiss those munchkins for me. And the dogs. Maybe the ferret? And that was not a cheesy photo! I love those magic shots!

Thank you!!! I will do just that! anytime to kiss them i do because i know one day they wont let me anymore!!!
I will let the kids kiss the animals for you... Stinky Stevie needs a bath!!!
I do Love magic shots too.. lets find another one!
