I think that is why I'm finding that I like writing this TR. Yeah i make lots of spelling errors for someone who always Aced english, I find that my brain is going way faster than my fingers and of course like all of us moms, I'm trying to do this while either doing or planning out 3 other things. If I'm on the computer I always have at least 4 windows pulled up and I'm on dial up so like That is accomplishing anything!!!LeeLee2U, I loved reading every word of your trip report! I laughed and cried and got lots of tips and ideas, too! Your description of the morning that you were leaving for the airport totally cracked me up! I'm sure it wasn't funny while you were going through it, but the way you described it was priceless! You are quite an inspiration, with your sense of humor and your ability to keep everything afloat no matter what the circumstance. Sending lots of positive thoughts to your husband. We've been through a little bit of the matching thing, and I know it is not easy. Keep the faith. Hope your son is feeling good, too. Both boys are adorable! Thanks for sharing your story and your beautiful family!

What a lovely surprise, I've heard so many reports of how yummy those strawberries are
So pleased the fever went down
Super update! I'm glad you told us who was at the door - I don't deal very well with cliffhangers
You know what??? I never like cliffhangers either!!!!!!!!!! And here I find they just pop out. I'm not planning them they just end up in there!!! Please don't Hate me I'll try not to leave one next time!! Maybe anyway!!!!! As for Marshay I'll just go ahead and say No I didn't get to meet her But now that I'm reading her report I DID see her one evening at the Beach club. Me and DH were commenting on the Mickeyhead on the stroller. Oh Look that must light up!!!! I cracked up when I read it on her TR. I guess if I had seen it lit up maybe it would've clicked. LGMH Ditzo!!!! I told ya'll I was scatterbrained!!! However I did chase someone down that was carrying a LG baggalini. Excuse me Do YOU DIS????? You should have seen their faces!!! That is on Fri, which is Day5 of this TR.Great Update LeeLee

Then, to have them send you complimentary room service....I love choc covered strawberries...., that was so sweet of them

YAY! The fever has gone away and I hope it doesn't return.
Hmmm...I gotta guess what you went to get...an autograph book?a pin lanyard?
I'm still trying to catch up on your TR. The problem is that I can't just skip and read your post. Noooo I got to read all the comments. You have got some of the greatest conversation going on over there!!!!Loving this update. How wonderful for the front desk to check up and see if the room was ok. Yummy strawberries!!
If I had to guess about what you were determined to get, I would guess a Pal Mickey, but I think you can get him at most of the resorts so I am probably wrong. (wow - abnormally long sentence there ).
I can't wait to read more .
Awww!!! I'm so glad you are here!!!!! And what a compliment coming from a Mom that's got 2 gorgeous boys herself!!!!!Oh my gosh --I cant belive Im not subbed already!! I will have to catch up,,,not tonite tho, have church in the moring and its already almost midnite BUT your kids ARE SOOO FREEEKKIINN Cute!! there are georgous!!!!!!! I will catch up soon, just wanted to sub real quick.
You know if I wasn't myself and I was reading this, I'd want to shake the person who was writing this, cause it seems like even when they don't want to leave cliffhanger, they just sort of appear. But since I am the person writing this I won't shake my self because trust me, this brain don't need anymore rattles than what it's already got!!!!!You're driving me nuts with the cliffhangers. Keep going. Karen
All right!! WYM is here!! You know that you play a BIG part in this TR don't you????? You have a special STAR appearance, but alas it will be a while as that is on Day..............................LeeLee!!!! I found your trip report and I am loving it!!!! You make everything fun and that is a gift! How wonderful that Braeton got wings and chocolate covered strawberries! Can't wait to hear the rest of your TR

Yes the 2 I got were quite delicious!!!Too cute! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Mmmmm chocolate strawberries! Yum! Can't wait to hear more.
Hey in some circles it's considered quite fashionable to be late!! Not t hat I would know, but I've heard!!!Once again I am late to the party! But I'm here now Can't wait to hear more.
:
I could use a few of them right now!!!!I'm glad to hear that the fever disappeared. Chocolate dipped Strawberries YUM!
O.k. I'm going to update today and get that questioned answered. As far as MarshayGreat update LeeLee, I enjoy your writing so much. That was great the front desk checked on you and then sent you up those delicious looking strawberries! Mmmm I would love those and that fan wouldn't last one day with me, lol.
You mentioned our friend Marshay and her DH on the update, did you ever meet up with them? They seem so nice but I've never met them. I hope to one day.
Now what is it you need that you have to go get before you do anything? I am curious, can't wait for next update!
glad the fever is gone, hope it stays gone!
I feel something brush my skirt and then I hear Shannon say AHHH and Tyler goes MOM and There goes Braton rolling Backwards and then doing a little spin as me and DH go running after him and then he glides into the condiment cart and sits there grinning.
Braeton only ate his grapes and I started to worry, See he eats more than any of us. Yep even more than his Dad.
Pal Mickey becomes the 5th person in the party..........I so can not wait to read your update when you describe what happened when you chased someone down with a green bagallini, to see if they dised??
The image just crackes me up
Yeah, for getting Pal Mickey. he looks like he would be a lot of fun. I am curious to see how he did for you all.
Now, once I knew Braeton was okay, after hitting the condiement cart, I began to laugh.
That image is too funny and will make for a great memory for sure.
Now on to MGM, what is next???
I almost didn't post that knowing you were reading this and I know that probably gives you nightmares!! But Bs chair is manual and lts just say I learned later that it wasn't all my fault!Sounds like Disney tried to make Disney extra special for you...I'm glad Braeton was okay from his wild ride...
I love my Pal Mickey. He's sitting here grinning at me!!!! And you know that popcorn smilie??? Well it fits in with MGM very well!!!!A pal Mickey! Never even thought of that....
Poor Braeton..glad hes okay and we can all laugh about it...
so what did ya do in MGM....
UnfortunatlyYeah an update! You poor mom! I hope that's the last of the runaway chair!
Thanks for Braetons smilies!!! And yes I was literally EEEK when it happened. I love that "The first ride!"At first I was like about the runaway chair and then I thought "hey, they're at Disneyworld! It's just the first ride!"
Glad he was okay!
The pics on the dock are cute!
I think the Adults are the ones who end up with them anyway. Braeton loves his, but you know it's hard to just hold onto something all day. One suggestion is if Bill wants it near him is to get a lanyard to hang him(Pal mickey NOT Bill!!! ) on. He needs to face outward into the park and for Braeton it was hard to hold onto him that way for a long time.The reason I am laughing is when something wild like that happens to Bill he "sits there grinning" . Always smiling, always putting a positive spin on life.
We are two adults and are getting a Pal Mickey . The excuse is we are going to redo the extra room here into a "Disney office" and he will be part of the decorations.
I can't wait to hear more .
Isn't it amazing and Yesterday at Braetons spasticity Dr she was suggesting getting neourology to try a diff med for B's headaches. This one has an appetite increaser instead of a suppresent. He lost 5lbs in 2 weeks on Topomax not including all the other horrible side effects it was givinghim, so I took him off and we just try to manage it with Tylenol and aromatherapys etc.... But now since he had the ear surgery he's suffering really bad, probably because of the band he has to wear. Anyway he had one yeasterday, still has it right now so she was wanting to do something. But anyway we fight so hard for him to keep his weight and he eats us out of house and home and my poor DH tries so hard to lose wieght and he's never eaten very much!!! By the way Ya'll don't come to Tx do you?? I saw a man in Wal-Mart in Porter yesterday who looked exactly like Bills pics. But it wasn't a woman pushing his chair it was an older man with a bandanna. I didn't get a chance to talk withthem but I loved the way the m an with him was talking to him. Of course people were trying not to stare and they were looking at the Debbie cakes and the older man was taking one box at a time going is this the one you wanted. And he would try real hard to understand the other guy and then he'd pick up another one. I heard him say Honeybuns but it took the older man a little bit to catch it. But what was so great about it is he never lost patience they jsut played a few guessing games with sounds and pointing and eventually they got it all figured out. You could tell the older gentleman really cared about the young man in the wheelchair. I wanted to cry from a swelled up heart of just pride for these people I didn't know. They were very polite and smiled at everyone as they rolled by, but didn't let the stares and curious looks get to them!OMG, Bill eats more than anyone I know including super pooh sized me. Braeton and Bill's bodies just burn those calories off.
Mine is sitting here on the desk looking at me!!!!!First of all I am glad Braeton was okay. Second, I am glad Mom is okay too...I always get more wound up after the fact. It sounds like you were all able to move on and still have fun!
The picture of Pal Mickey made me smile. We bought ours from ebay for the kids, but as it turns out DH had it in the ECV with him the whole time. I would turn around and see Jim stopped, holding Mickey up to his ear to see what he was saying....funny, the toy belongs to the 42 year old little boy, not the 5 year old little boy! He is hanging in our closet right now. He needs some new outfits I think, though...LOL....
