what kind of stroller do you have? We have a sit and stand but the seat for Virginia does not lay down very far. Do you have any stroller fans? Deb sent me the ones she had but they don't feel like they put much air out. Especially if I use the extra sun shade.

I know that Kristine has done the Sunset Safari at AKL. Has anyone here done it in the winter? Sunset comes mighty early in December!

Hows Oct? still possibly warm, but not snowy just yet.

So for those that are interested in NYC what month would be good?

For our last two Disney trips, we have rented the double jogger from A Baby's Best Friend. It's a really smooth ride, and both kiddos napped in it with ease. I'm not sure what we'll do for our next trip with three kiddos.

We don't have any stroller fans, since our last two trips were February and December 2007. In February, it was so cold we had to break out our hats and gloves! I hope that is not the case for January 2009!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been on yesterday.

Tom - Glad to hear things are looking up for your mother. I'll continue to keep her in my prayers.

Bernadette - HOORAY FOR NEGATIVE BIOPSY!!! I know that this was really worrying you! Now you can relax, enjoy your new "toy" and anticipate your trip!

Elizabeth - I'm glad that your mom is still feeling ok. Hopefully, she'll be one of the lucky ones who don't get any nausea from the chemo, just the hairloss and exhaustion.

Jennifer (bear) - sorry to hear about Virginia! I hope that it doesn't come back!

Jen - Welcome home! I can't wait to see the pictures and hear all about it.

Jennifer - I can totally sympathize with your MIL woes! I have the same problem! Alan wants to be the good son, but it's getting harder and harder as he's so tired of having to "be there" for his mom. I hope you can get through this! Know that I'm thinking about you!

Elin - Hooray for planning your December trip! You guys are going to have so much fun! Good luck to Kristin on her interview on Monday!

Theresa - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your interview.

Beth - Glad to hear that the doctor is going to be on top of things! Sounds like your trip is off to a fine start! Can't wait for more updates.

Amy - Take it easy woman! You just had a baby! You're allowed to take breaks, you know!

So the last couple of days have been really odd for me. I went to Costco yesterday and as I was walking around, I got really hot and dizzy. Sweat was just pouring off me. I must have looked ghastly because several people stopped me to ask if I was ok. I somehow got to my car and drove home. It's amazing that I made it! By the time I got home, the world was spinning, and I had trouble making it to the front door. I literally collapsed into bed and didn't wake up until about 3:00 in the afternoon. It was so odd! I was fine after that.

Then, this morning, the kids asked me to make chocolate chip pancakes, and the same thing happened again. We've had the hottest days of the summer here the last few days, so I'm hoping that the heat, along with not drinking enough water has me dizzy. Alan has put me on "bedrest" I'm not allowed up at all today. We are supposed to go to dinner and a play tonight, so we'll see how it goes.

Sounds like you need to take it easy, Miss Glynis! Are you planning to contact your doctor?

Yes. I put in a call to her service. Hopefully, I'll hear something. If not, I have an appointment with her on Friday after the ultrasound.

Meanwhile, take Alan up on his offer for you to take it easy.

Good for Alan! Please get plenty of rest (and water!)!

Tammi - Are you and Bob speaking yet?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Welcome back! I can't wait to hear about your trip and see pictures. I'm impressed at all you've done today!

Welcome home, Jen!

And where is this MIL's son?

Hmm. At least he is TRYING to find a balance. Good luck!

January hours are out, and Fantasmic is only scheduled for 2 nights the week we are there! No P&P parties scheduled in January either.

Hmm. I didn't realize you guys were going in January! Need any planning help?

Sounds like you need to take it easy, Miss Glynis! Are you planning to contact your doctor?

Glynis, that sounds scary!

Anne Marie - LOVE the shirts!

We went and loaded some more on the Disney gift card, then we did the grocery shopping. All I need to do for "trip money" is get some travelers checks and maybe hit the ATM one more time for another $30 or so in cash.

I have Princess this evening so we are taking her to dinner. She LOVES that!

Tomorrow we are getting the suitcases out!
