Trip Report

I am back and it was busy the whole time I was there.

The morning I arrived I picked up my Mom and drove her to the hospital and I stayed there till she was all checked.Then I went back to my Dad's and spent the rest of the day with him.Then went back to pick up my Mom and brought her home,and I think I just fell asleep after that.The next day I went out and about to see how much the area grew,I walked almost 2 miles.My Dad isn't active enough for what all he sits around and eats.Anyway....Then I met my Dad back at his house and He had received his newspapers to fold.2800 to be honest.we started to fold them at 5:30 p and got done at about 9p.Not to bad.My Mom could not do them since she her arm was sore from surgery.

I left early Friday morning and drove over to Epcot.Well I was surprised at my reaction when I saw spaceship earth.NO ARM,NO WAND. My first time seeing Epcot was 2005,and it had the arm and the wand. I got over it and I ran over to Soarin.I really like that ride. It was only 9:30a and it already had a 30 minute wait.They changed the pictures on the wall ,and the music.They went from small pictures to large ones .I forgot to get pictures of that.


Then I left and rode the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. And then I took the ferry boat to the MK.I got a new transportation card.
Then I got to see something,that I have only heard about happening.Dreams being past out.I was behind this family that walked up to a cast member who had on a hat and this huge pin bag.I wanted to see his pins.I waited.{this is the first time I was there with out my family}
The cast member asked the mother of the group if the girls had lunch with the princess.She said no that is what they wanted to do today.The cast member said great do you know about the year of a million dreams they said yes and the CM said Great!!!Have lunch in the castle with the princesses on Disney.The family was standing there like no that's ok,I spoke up and said take it.He is issuing your family a wish.They took it.Then the CM walked over and gave a couple a wish too.I was so excited.I was more excited than the people getting the wishes granted.


Just before we docked a little girl walked up to the CM and she was looking at his pins and she told him it was her birthday.The CM said oh it is And pulled out of his big bag a bag of buttons and gave her a button for her birthday and granted her a wish for her birthday,he gave her lunch with the princesses and the little girl's mom began to cry.Then the CM got on his radio,he first asked her does she like cake the little girl said yes.The CM got on the radio and said this is dream 50 and on wish number {what number was} and said that they need to make sure they give her a wish birthday cake,with priority seating,v.i.p. status. I congratulated them while the Mom was in tears. That was so cool. I was wishing that my family could have been there. Now I know what they look like and dress.

Meals:
My Dad wanted to eat out most of the time,I ate like I was at home,Then he ate late too and no exercise.I walked.
No gym.So when we go up to Disney I am going to either find my gym there or pay to use the the one in the resorts.

The roof is done now we have to wait on the mortgage company to issue the rest of the money to pay the roofer.the roof looks good and today it is raining.But they have to come back and fix the gutter they messed up.

I will finish up my trip report later got to run the inside roof is getting painted and I am allergic to the latex in the paint.It will kill me if I breathe it in.I have a mask to put on.But I am going to leave the house for a while.{ more pictures and info I got while there}

100 Yesterday....

Yesterday was my 100th post.Cool

I will be headed out very early in the am and I won't be back till Friday some time.

I think it is neat that we all are going to be staying and close in the hotels in October.
When I get back I am going to get on track and work hard.

And the roof should be finished by the time I get back!!!!! Explain later.
My mother will be fine,and back on track as well after tomorrow.

Back To School!!!!

The kids started school today.It's nice and quiet here.No yelling he touched me ,she's looking at me funny.What a fashion show school has become.I thought we were bad, but man..... Even in uniforms!!! It's funny.

I have to go back up North to my parents again,and take my Mom to another procedure.It's a small town so you have to travel to go to a regular hospital.Then she won't have to have anything done for a long while.{ I hope}

While I am up there I thought if I left early from their house I could head over and take some of the Magic kingdom before heading home.{smiling}




I may try to use a computer in the local library while there not sure if I can and looking in to getting a lap top computer.Also I have to get a new phone service.Mine doesn't work on the east coast.No service in that area but go to the west of the interstate and there is service.I want an I phone.

Like Kate we got the same rate for two rooms since we are going to have some of E's family here for the race.{ can't wait}

Rough Monday Start..

I woke up sore this morning.My calf muscles were sift as all get out.I had to walk around and get the blood moving.They started to feel better.

I was sent home early today and in 8 hours I walked at work 3.00 miles.I was fine with leaving early since all the stuff going on here.By the way the roofer lady never came with the permit today and her excuse was that she got home late from being out of town and didn't make it to city hall. I am not happy with the management park of this whole deal.It's almost done and then I don't have to worry about this any more.


Plus we have a storm out in the ocean and they are already making a big deal out of it and it isn't a named storm yet. :(

School shopping today.I hate it.Then I outfitted everyone with running attire. The kids are going to start training with us for the TOT Race.I registered them today,wasn't sure if they were really interested,but so far they seem to be.So they are going to the gym with us tonight.They walked yesterday.My son his running style is the rabbit,me I am the turtle,E possible the snowball, my daughter well not sure yet.


E thinks we should just walk this one since we are walking so fast.Maybe run a little.Tomorrow night we will do the entire 8 miles and see how long it will take and try some running.Then just work on getting it better. Tonight try the gym again,bikes and light weights.Kids too.No weights for them.

MY daughter did very well, she kept up on the bike and then she did the elliptical,for 15 minutes.MY son,hard head,refused to listen and thought he was going to come in and do what we do.E had to slow him down on the bike cause he was getting his heart rate too high.{150}.So the next time all he is doing is the bike and the elliptical to get his cardio in shape.
