Wow Basketkat, I'm so surprised that your story is so similar to mine! When I was going through it I felt so alone, like nobody else could understand. That is so scary about the bubble in the line I am so glad that you were ok! I can definitely understand your fears, not to mention the chance of infection/sepsis from the Picc line!

Good morning, all!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and getting excited for our trips!!
I was bored at work yesterday, so I was doing a little playing on the internet and I thought I would check DD9's teacher's site to see if there were any tidbits of news. On the school's main page, there was a link to a letter that was sent to all of the principles in our county.
I'm not sure if y'all remember my stress about the school board changing our school schedule for this year and removing the fall break? The fall break that we were booked to go to WDW?
Anyway, the letter stated that since the schedule had changed and there were a lot of families who had booked family trips for that week, the teachers should work with the students to give them make-up work AND actually count the work as full credit. It did state that the absences would still be considered unexcused, though.
I've had a very bad attitude about the school board change because we've gone to WDW every September for the past 5-6 years. I'm glad to see that they have realized that people plan vacations far in advance and can't just up and change them once they are booked.
Of course, I haven't let DD9's teacher know yet that she won't be there, but at least I know she'll be able to get her work and get full credit for it.
Is this possible and/or a good idea? I was planning on having water delivered to us from Garden Grocer, but after looking it up... holy $$$$, batman! Their water is insanely priced, PLUS the delivery fee is nuts. We won't have a car in WDW either. So, I was thinking of taking a few reusable water bottles and filling them up in the food court in the mornings before we go, when we come back for our nap in the afternoons, and at night when we come back. Is this a reasonable idea or should I just fork out the cash for Garden Grocer?
So, what do you guys think of this brilliant idea ? We're driving down and I'm thinking about packing my two boys' clothes in clear plastic bins. I usually put their stuff in big duffel bags on wheels and they always lay around in the way the whole time (I don't always unpack everything because I was warned against using drawers by an exterminator ). I always feel sorry for Mousekeeping and how they have to work around the junk of 5 people.
I was thinking that we could stack the bins in the sink area under the clothes rod and they would be out of the way (we're at POR). As long as they fit in the van, the only downside I see is how silly we'll look carrying them from the vehicle to the room . Anyone else think this might work? I also think I'm bringing a pop-up hamper. The trash bag just isn't working as well with so many of us .

yesterday DD and I went to the Disney store. I wanted to get one more T shirt for the trip and I ended up having to use more will power than ever before in my life LOL. They had a clearance sale and these BIG stuffed minnies were half price. they were only $25. BUT that's $25 I just shouldn't spend right now lol not until next paycheck anyway. So I walked away. My mom was so impressed that DD didn't have a tantrum over not getting one and I was like... probably because I was having the tantrum
DD just wanted a picture lol
If they are still there and on clearance next week I'm definitely getting one.
