I have a sick munchkin. I have to take him to the doctor in a bit when his sister gets out of school. Poor baby is miserable with stomach ache, neck pain, a high fever and a bad headache. Woke up at 5 this morning asking to take his temp because he didn't feel good. I gave him a paracetamol to combat the aches, and he promptly fell asleep and started talking in his sleep. Hope it's just the flu and he's better next week when he has his field trip with school to the amusement park in Germany. I'd hate for him to miss that!

Oh Dear. I hope he is on the mend soon. I read your sad post to my DD wondering if she would be thinking the same thoughts as I immediately did when reaching the field trip part. She shared the same thing I was thinking.

Our school district will no longer take the students to the Museums etc that are in Chicago even though they are amazing. It is that
OMG take children in CHICAGO thing. Your school system on the other hand takes their students out of the country to celebrate the year at an amusement park. Woot!

@StarWarsGirl is our expert on sleeping in, me I wake up @MinnieM123 so she can wake up the sun

...I had to get up at 6:30 this morning for my internship.

Sympathy like at least it's only 2 days a week.

 

[Gabe1]

My boys are done with classes and it's 1/2 days for the rest of the week and then done. They were supposed to be in until the 15 but we used zero snow days this year

And the bonus is more quality time with your boys.

Oy and you are not a morning person. Sorry.

Would you like the food bill that goes with that? What quality time LOL Today one of them ran out the door right after eating lunch and the other is watching some shows he missed.

That's why I do it Tuesday and Wednesday. Then I have five days in a row where I can choose to sleep in. Of course I also did it so my days off would coincide with my bestie's days off, but she unfortunately has to find another job, so....

Unfortunately, my internship is an hour away, so even though it's 9-5, the commute is brutal. Which is why I have to be up between 6:30 and 6:45. Tomorrow I might be able to get away with sleeping until 7. We'll see.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I got some studying to do. Finals are Monday- Thursday next week and then the 10th Grade is done.

Enjoy the summer. Junior year gets busy with the college search. FYI, you should take your SATs or ACTs in junior year if you have not already done so.

Only 3 weeks until Disneyland!

Only 3 weeks until Disneyland!

And the 3 hour time difference...

Are you planning on making rope drop there?

Ha! Been there done that. Just wait till you see what room & board costs at a University these days. Something to look forward too.

And out the door...quietly watching TV...blessed?

Lucky them. We used just a few Snow Days mostly for 1 storm we had.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

As it turns out, my group is worse than I am about getting to the parks when it opens. So...probably not. But we're also there for seven days, and we're usually there until midnight.

Note: other than for water parks, which we have made rope drop for, the earliest I've ever been in a park was 9:20, and that was sans parents.

Good morning. Today's plan enjoy some peace and quiet for a couple of hours until the invasion. I've decided not to wear a pin lanyard and instead I'm making pouches for the pins that will fit on my crossbody bag. They'll be Disney themed of course and they'll will cover most of my plain black bag My dh is getting one with Wall E and my boys will get Mickey ones. They'll cost me next to nothing as I got almost everything on sale, used coupons and my dh was with me and we got an extra discount for his service for Memorial day. I hope to get started on those today

Pictures when you are done, please!

Poor kiddo! Hope he is feeling better in no time.

Yep, I do plan on taking the Sat's for the first time after next years Holiday break. Should be a crazy year.

I think I'm in I-miss-WDW mode. I'm at my internship listening to an all-Aerosmith playlist because it reminds me of RnRC. I keep reminding myself that there's only about three more weeks until Disneyland. Keep reminding, keep reminding...

Hang in there! If I can do years, you can do weeks! (Wait, can I do years? Ugh.)

 

[MouseDreaming]

I woke up to go to the bathroom Saturday night (without my brace) and heard a "pop" when I was shuffling to the door. It didn't hurt at the time but now I need an MRI. It stinks getting old.

Well, carp. Sending pixie dust that you just get told to keep that brace on when you are moving about.

 

[MouseDreaming]

holidays are when I have the most work

Funny you say that. I had the same thought yesterday, between the extra cooking, dishes, and laundry.
