Sorry for my absence the past few days. This is Day 3 of the "Overscheduled Mom" show.
Thursday I volunteer at the high school library from 7 to 8 am, then I had work in the morning, followed by going to a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.
Yesterday, Ben had a field trip with the band and chorus for Trills and Thrills, an exhibition/competition followed by a trip to Six Flags New England. We left the school 7:30 and did not get home until 9:30 last night. The band got an Excellent rating and the Chorus received Superior marks. Unfortunately, one of the poorest organized field trips I have been on. But the kids had a lot of fun.
There is no sugar-coating it though. Six Flags sure ain't Disney!
Today, we are having Ben's birthday celebration- lazer tag, go carts and mini-golf. Right now it is pouring out, but it is supposed to stop for the afternoon. 4 13-year-old boys sleeping over tonight.
Happy belated Mothers Day, Dee!
What a wonderful way to spend your 27th anniversary! And congratulations on that too!
You're really solidifying my plans to stay at the Yacht Club next year with all your pictures of empty world showcase and your talking about walking over to Epcot. How beautiful to see Epcot all empty first thing in the morning!
Not to mention some good luck with both Soarin' and Test Track. I'm totally with you on the new TT design, down to every word you said, both about the queue (I miss the test track dummies too!) and about the ride itself. I'm a fan of the re-design!
Love your two car designs!
We're having incredible weather here today too. I'm itching to get back into my kayak... but I promised Johnny I'd wait until he got home!
How awesome about your BC/YC Dismeet trip!!! I saw that on the FAQ, oh oh oh how much I wish I could go! Sounds awesome, even if it is quick. Just tell your family it's going to be boring, meeting up with all these strangers, no parks, no rides... they won't feel bad at all about letting you go alone
Thank you for the Mothers' Day and Anniversary wishes.
I am so excited about your plans for the Yacht Club. Please let me know what I can do to help!
That's funny that we have similar feelings about the new Test Track.
I am excited about the meet. There are actually a few things up in the air, and I can't really focus on that short trip because I still have a TON of research and planning I have to do for our summer trip.
What wonderful Mother's Day gifts! A walk through a park and a plane ticket to Disney! I certainly don't blame you for taking HockeyMomR up on the offer. That was very sweet of her.
Thanks. A great Mothers' Day!
Omg Dee can't believe you are finally going to be at the meet up in human (not flat) form!! Absolutely chuffed to bits for you
You are an awesome mom and (thread keeper) and do totally deserve this gift from the wonderful men in your life
Best news I've had all day-can't wait to see all the photos!!
I'm so glad you are pleased by the news and I appreciate your kind words. I'll make sure I raise a toast to you!
Oh you never ever ever pass up an opportunity like this Dee. Never. Ever. This sounds like a great time to be had.
Hmmm, I guess leaving the fam home would be much easier to "fake" boringness if you hadn't gotten that great response from your dinner with Teena. And it was so nice to hear that at the time, lol.
BUT guilt be gone!!! You deserve it!
I don't do things like this often, but I am really happy that I will be at the meet. This will be a great opportunity for me to collect some much-needed hugs!
My husband was just mentioning this week what a nice meal we had with Teena.
I just saw this on the Y/B thread. What an awesome gift!!!! So happy for you. And don't feel guilty you deserve it!!!

Thank you!
How fun to go to the dismeet! Sounds like a fun time.
Thanks!
That sounds like an awesome Mother's Day to me! Me and EJ will be in Orlando visiting my best friend a month before your DIS meet! Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to do a DIS meet! They look like so much fun
Too bad we won't be in Orlando the same time this year.
Meets are so much fun! Disney has lots of fun places to meet, and a meet really doesn't have to take much time out of your day.
I think I'm all caught up. That sounds like an awesome Mother's Day present! Stormalong bay will more than make up for not going to a park I'm sure!
Thanks!
I hope your Mothers' Day was fantastic! Although probably tough to beat being at Disney like last year.
I can find plenty to do around the resort.
Congrats on your little mini-trip to meet up with some DIS friends. That is awesome.
Thank you! I know you get the whole meet-thing!!!
What a fun way to spend you Anniversary. Mine is July 18th..but only 12 this year for us. (seems longer at times.
)
What a fabulous Mothers day gift! I am so jealous! You deserve it!!!
We had a fantastic anniversary last year! It was so much fun to be in Disney for our special day.
I am so excited for the meet. I could not pass up this opportunity to meet so many people who have become good friends over the past few years.
