Time to get everyone recovered, there are WDW trips to plan!
Thanks goodness we have each other. I am so grateful for all of you! 
soooo jealous, but not about those horrid H&H summer days 
those I could live without! 
now they nitpick and say I am turning the phones over too early to the 24 Hr desk ( god forbid they should have to answer a phone for 5 minutes!) 
I work in a correction facility.....reception. phones get turned over to the 24 desk when I leave for the afternoon. I start closing procedures at 4:15 for a 4:30 leaving time......well, the staff in the back say I'm shutting the phone off to early.....they want it shut down not before 4:20, they can't handle the calls and find it too stressful! 
hmmmm.......so crazy!
I don't take criticism well, I always want to please people and do a good job! I don't want to let anyone down..,but there are people so quick to throw you under the bus!!! 
boy, the only thing making me still smile lately is knowing I have my trip to look forward too!
Dani: hope your little ones are starting to feel better!
PAS: wow! You're holding down two jobs now? you are superwoman! don't work too hard and burn yourself out!
MM: glad you're enjoying yourself and so happy you got a great room!
Thinking about and missing LUV lately! Sounds like she's going to have the time of her life with the move to our favorite destination! can you say member of the annual pass holder club
I'm having a hard time at work right now with some coworkers who save complaints until the boss is away, then decide to point out a few of my "supposed" shortcomings to the coworker who is "acting" business mgr.....what happened to the last 2 silent yrs where I've been doing my job fine without a single complaint??
Anyway, I got called into the office for an informal talk about these "issues"... It burns me that I am doing my job fine without issue for 2 yrs, then my boss goes on holidays, and they start nattering and finding little things to pick about!!! I actually broke down and
I am at a point where I just want to go to work, do my job then go home.....,talk to no one, get away on my lunch hour instead of staying at the office, and just keep to myself, trust no one. I am so upset but have decided just to focus on getting my job done, then going home. Why do people always have to be so quick to focus on the negative!? It is frustrating.....
Sorry for the vent!

I don't like these workplaces that aren't treating our RCers right, or not appreciating them. Try not to let it get you down (I know it is very hard), but focus on your upcoming trip and time away from work. I am sure you do a fabulous job, and hope they all come to realize it. 
I missed the trip list train. . Come back!!!! Still thinking about Poly. DH says that if we can't get CR, we should try Poly over YC BUT DS's want YC (pool fanatics). I am still concerned having read posts about pool hoppers at Poly. I think that would drive me crazy..... I like the gated pool at YC BUT....I've always wanted to try Poly....
welcome home! Glad you had a great time with family that's wonderful! I'm always thinking it's great to try something new when opportunity arises. My last trip in Feb 2011 with just my son and I , I was originally booked LV CL at the POLY , but let the negative reviews push me to switch. we went BC CL instead.....while nice, it didn't wow us and it's not my favorite! I kind of regret giving up LVCL at the POLY, because this time it seems much more expensive than when I had it booked in 2011.....over $1000 more than my current garden view CL booking! So while lagoon view is un- attainable this time, I am happily looking forward to finally trying the POLY for myself.....and it looks like I got in at just the right time to experience it before all the upcoming changes 
you all always know how to cheer up a gal! 
Good morning, everyone! Did you know......today in 1955 Disneyland opened. Like Bree, I'm off to the cardiologist (finally) this morning. Hope to check-up with you all later.
. Hope all continues to go well. DH said he thought Kidani looked great (he only saw our pictures) He thought it appeared to be a great place for relaxation and PEACE. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Hope everyone has a great day! We're off to bowl a few games later this morning...should be interesting!
A great big hug to pas, dani, and missoutandabout.I hope everyone has a good day at the doctors, good news and sleepy kids tonight! Please let us know how everyone is doing, we all think about you and your little ones a lot and can't do much except send love and hugs!
We still have some RC family that are going to WDW soon that aren't on our list. Let me know dates if you want to be added!
Definitely swim first, surgery later
Thank you, I LOVE IT! Good luck to you today!
"Can I go in now?" ... "No." ...
"What about now?" ... "No." ...
"Now?" ... "You just asked 3 seconds ago. No."
That is word-for-word dialogue from my childhood summers.
Pas: Hope your Bree's app't went ok.....
Time to get everyone recovered, there are WDW trips to plan!
Vent away Marie! Many of us understand, I know I doSorry for the vent!

Welcome back home !!!!! 4 weeks will be here soon! You'll be headed down after I get back....and I hope CR opens up...we have had stuff open up...last minute 
If not swimming by the castle...ahhhh. But SAB looks fab as well!! Win win 
We are keeping our fingers crossed here for goodnews...it's a good news kind of day 
Excellent news! Go Bree go! 
If keeping to yourself at work -- and complaining here to us along with repeating, "Disney soon, Disney soon" in your head -- helps you through, I think that sounds like a great plan. to you and the kiddos. 
Isn't that the truth?
I do quite love SAB. 
to pass around to everyone else. Off to swim lessons, torturing myself with weights and then science class. Where's my cab driver's cap?
Very sorry to hear this sis. You are under so much stress with your job and the kiddos getting sick...your poor body can't take it....get well wishes Pas:
... and s'more
Speaking of weights, when we were on our walk yesterday evening, I saw something quite strange -- at least for Chicago suburbia. Someone had built a trebuchet in their driveway. Medieval siege weapons in the 'burbs! I guess it's potentially a good deterrent for door-to-door salesmen.
The story reminds me of my DH who is constantly planning for a disaster....if I see him digging...I'll have him committed 
I always put off my own health. I'd rather not deal with it. Terrible, I know. Kids!
Me too
How's DS today?Jeanette thanks Sis.
I am SO relieved to hear about Bree. RC Pixie Dust really is magical!!
Funny story about Danimal. Last night I was telling him how we are meeting up with some DISers on our trip and he asked if they know about him. I said of course they know about you! And he says "so I'm like famous?"
Me too
He is famous...royalty...a RC Prince...
Us mommies just put our health off..but you gotta take care of you. Now that the kiddos are good, we have to keep Mommy well
