WOW!!
5 days!!
That is so awesome! I love the anticipation of a trip - and the anticipation of a trip of a lifetime is even better!!
Have a blast!!! I can't wait to hear all about it!!!
Thanks!! But it's actually 1 week and 5 days, but that's not far off.
Well, I have not updated in a little bit. Work has been crazy....wonder what happened 9 mos ago that is causing this little baby boom!!
Trying to get clothes together, make sure I have all Brian's medications that his currently taking and those he may need. We went shopping over the weekend to get the kids new sneakers, books to read (not they will read them, but I feel better knowing I tried!!). They each get to pick out a new game for their Nintendo DS, to occupy them on the plane.
I noticed recently that the battery for our camera wasn't holding a charge for very long, so while out shopping we stopped at Best Buy to get a new battery. Well they don't carry the battery any longer
The camera is 5 or 6 years old. So I, of course, start looking for a new camera. I mean what else would anyone do??
This is Brian's MAW trip, besides a great family vacation, and it's Brian birthday (i'm sure they will have a cake for him)!! Well DH was "We don't need a new camera, try another store for the battery, blah, blah, blah" So I respond...Fine, If you don't want any pictures from the trip...that's your problem!!' and we leave the store....me not talking to him for a couple hours!!
That was Sunday, Monday night Brian's wish grantor's came to drop all the paperwork. They gave us the itinerary for the cruise, the info about the airport transfers, & the spending check (wow that shocked me a little). When they got to the house they had a gift for Brian. He takes it to open it while one of them begins to review the packet with me....Well wouldn't you know it...Brian comes running into the dining room to show me his new camera!!!!
A digital camera that is waterproof to 10 ft!!
Totally shocked, he is loving it!! Me... I'm happy but a little annoyed, because I wanted to make DH husband shell out the money to but a new camera on the ship!!!
It would have cost him a bundle!!!
Well for the cruise plans....The limo will be here to pick us up at 4:55am
I don't sleep well the night before so it's fine for me, the kids will nap on the plane, and they probably won't sleep well either. It's a 7 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise. So Sat, Sun, and Monday are at sea days. Tuesday we are in St. Maarten, Wesnesday is St Thomas, Thursday at sea (Brian's 7th Birthday
), Friday Castaway Cay (disney's private island) and Saturday port canaveral, then home. Sunday is Easter and I think I'm cooking for the family....not sure why and hoping that will change.
Getting ready to wrap it up for the night, but needed to share this. I get to school today to pick up the kids and Bobby's teacher tells me that he was not himself today and may not be feeling well, OK no big deal. Next, I hear a cough like a seal barking, turn to see my daughter coming down the hall, now I cringe. and the finale....Brian comes out the classroom with the beautiful booger nose we all know and not really love!! Not now...10 days until we leave!!!
Hoping and praying these are all mild things that will pass. As I sit here typing this, I can hear Catherine barking from her room. She sounds like she could use a little orapred. Guess we will be seeing the pediatrician tomorrow instead of the St. Patrick's Day lunch with the girls that I had planned
I'm done for the night. Hope everyone has a Happy St. Patty's Day!
I bet even if you asked Milliepie (a Diser- I found her thread recently) she would make him a special star wars one, if one isn't already out there!
I have been in Vomit fest hell here 
Yes, it is a lot of work to cruise.. even if it is a MAW trip 
My goodness it is coming up soon! My dd is in girlscouts as well and it is so hard not to eat all of these cookies! 
They just look at you with THAT look
