Why do we have to stand in all these lines?...a TR by DM w/lots of PIX...Completed!

[wirki]

Hey DM-- I am here to help you prioritize your life!

1. wake up
2. Check out the DIS to see who wrote stuff about you whilst you were sleeping.
3. Get kids off to school
4. Morning DIS time--catch up on your thread
5. time. Read TRs whilst folding
6. Lunch time--you can eat 1 handed while DISing.
7. Afternoon DIS session/ quick errands if absolutely necessary (ie out of dog food, chocolate, or toilet paper!)
8. Get kids home and homework/snack/afterschool stuff
9. After kids in bed--catch up from previous missed time!

There! We'll work in cleaning something tomorrow--you don't want to stress yourself!

Ok where in my house did you place the camera???

 

[Muffinygood]

Are you telling me I went to the dirty potties upstairs from Soarin'?

I hate that I don't have as much time to DIS as in the summer. I really thought I'd have more time but nope. Thank you for your good wishes for my grandmother. I think your TR is good. If I didn't, then I wouldn't be reading it (as much ). Seriously, your's is just fine and dandy!

Yes! You went to the icky pottys... ha! Little did you know that the EXECUTIVE washrooms were DOWNSTAIRS.

Really.., they had fancy soap too.

Thanks for the compliment on my TR. It's my first and now that I've read yours and Jen/Tera's and Amy's I think I'm going to take WAY more photos. And make notes. Oh, and not get the flu. hee hee

You are welcome on the good wishes for your grandmother. My gramma was my best friend in the whole world. I am praying for yours.

Love the pic of the kids at the Coral Reef. And, yes, we did that photo op with the kiddos too.

Keep the good stuff comin'.

 

[Goofyluver]

That's not a bad pic! You just look as if you've tossed back a few!

 

[blue_river]

Looks like a fun morning at the Seas!

You have the cutest pics of the kids.

We really enjoyed the Coral Reef and I wish I had booked it on our last trip again. It will definately be on my list next time.

Can't wait to see the food porn

 

[Disneyolic]

NOW, I can keep up with your TR. (Did you see me pimping your report on Scott's thread?! Am I a friend, or WHAT?! )[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Yup I saw that. I don't think I need pimping though, do you?

[OLOR="Blue"]
due to the GLORIOUS DAY, I was able to sit on my deck, overlooking the pool, with the dog at my feet and the deer in the background.... and FINISH MY PRESENTATION! YAY ME!!!

I'll see you a deer and raise you 14 turkeys....seriously!

OK, I'm really, really, really late... but I'm finally here! It might take me awhile to catch up, but I wanted you to know that I'm trying!

Take care,
Michelle

Better late than never! Glad you're here!

The scuba diver thing looks cool. I never saw that when we were there.

The goofy family pictures at Coral Reef are hilarious!

We have seen the scuba diver many times and I think it's cool too! Maybe my boys will turn out like your brothers?

Great pictures! It seems like you had a really good time there. After just two visits I find it so difficult to slow down a bit in the parks and just enjoy the atmosphere, but whenever I get out of my "have to do all these attractions" habit, I realize how much fun you can have without being on a ride all the time!

I think it is very hard to slow down in the parks. I would love to keep up the pace sometimes and get on this, get on that. But that would make for miserable kids and miserable kids lead to miserable me. I know we will be going back again, not too soon, but we will and the kids will be a little older and we'll be able to do more. It must be very hard traveling from another country, paying all that money you feel you need to get more done.

 

[Disneyolic]

The scuba diver looked cool. Ok I will wait for review and see if I need to change my adr to go to Coral reef. I already took your advice on Raglan Road.

The pic of Alec at the table was hysterical.

Either tonight or early tomorrow my next update will be out. My kids love looking at those pics of themselves!

I like your quickie update! Mine are about to get that way with two football teams,softball and baseball being in full swing. Oh yeah and school...

Anyway I love all the pics but especially the ones that aren't perfect(flashed tank,etc).They are all full of memories.

Looking forward to hearing what you thought of Coral Reef-I ate there too.

I think a quickie update is better than no update, of course. It's crazy here and only will get crazier as the kids get older I am sure. But I love it.

Sounded like a relaxing morning!! Awaiting the adventures of lunch!!

So far, so good....update either tonight or early tomorrow!

He He He!! Has she changed her avatar yet??

Who me? I changed mine days ago!

thanks for the update. I know you are soooo busy right now.

You are so welcome and thanks for understanding! No like some people here....

 

[Disneyolic]

DM you should really make him do it. My brother is certified and he did the DiveQuest in August and he loved it! So worth the money!

Maybe next time, as there is always a next time! I'll have to tell Rob about your brother doing it.

Oh puhleeze! You don't look bad, well except for your eyes, but you can always photoshop yourself a new head, no? Well, not new, but a pic of you with your eyes completely open, KWIM? Ok, I'll shut up now.

There are plenty of pics that I look halfway decent so I can handle a bad pic or 2...

Yes! You went to the icky pottys... ha! Little did you know that the EXECUTIVE washrooms were DOWNSTAIRS.

Those upstairs potties weren't that bad except people were waiting in a line when there were empty stalls all the way in the back!

Really.., they had fancy soap too.

Darn...what color was it?

Thanks for the compliment on my TR. It's my first and now that I've read yours and Jen/Tera's and Amy's I think I'm going to take WAY more photos. And make notes. Oh, and not get the flu. hee hee

It's hard to keep up with the best!

 

[Disneyolic]

That's not a bad pic! You just look as if you've tossed back a few!

But the few I tossed back were of the Diet Coke form.....

Looks like a fun morning at the Seas!

You have the cutest pics of the kids.

Can't wait to see the food porn

Aw thanks! Food porn coming up tonight or early tomorrow morning! It's practically all written already...hee hee

We saw this too! The scuba diver was this really nice girl!

Yup - I think it was a chic too.

Can't wait to hear about the Coral Reef! I'm starting my update right now and we are eating there too. HA!

I'll do my Coral Reef update if you do yours...

 

[blue_river]

Aw thanks! Food porn coming up tonight or early tomorrow morning! It's practically all written already...hee hee

No rush!

I'm off today

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

The pix of your kids are great. The crossed eyes. The big smiles. They really had a good time! Disney Rocks!

Don't you people ever work??

This is me today:

This is me today:

According to Moan Boy, it's 12 "sleeps" until Disney World. Why is that important? I usually quit working entirely about two weeks prior to vacation. Right now, I'm all about surfin' out Disney info and posting my wise cracks on the DIS.

Now, back to my breakfast.

Me thinks it's going to be a fun day here on the DIS....just everyone keep it to a minimum between 12:30 and 2 pm EST...I won't be here.

I'll try my best

I'm trying to get some housework done while DISing...hard to do

 

[TEminnie]

We wanted to check out all the cool fishies and stuff. I loved this section with Bruce.

I think it's neat here too. Are they finished with all of the renovations yet?

After we viewed just about every viewing tank, it was getting close to our lunch time at Coral Reef. We had an 11:30 am ADR. It was just about 11:10 am and we headed on over to check in.

And after a short wait we were seated in a booth on the first level near the tanks.

Did you ask for the tank seat? I asked one time and had to wait about 20 min but we loved the view.

Ok where in my house did you place the camera???

look in the left nightstand....

It must be very hard traveling from another country, paying all that money you feel you need to get more done.

I find it harder to slow down now that the kids are bigger--but really no one is happy with sore feet.

Who me? I changed mine days ago!

No, CE! (I like yours BTW )

You are so welcome and thanks for understanding! No like some people here....

I understand perfectly--I'm just "helping" you prioritize things!

I'm trying to catch up fast!
