My son turned 11 on June 11th. What should I do to celebrate his passing into his tween years? WDW of course! I began planning last fall for a b-day trip for Jon. I was so excited. We were going back to the world! I shared my joy with my very BF in the whole wide world, Tera (meeskamouska to you people). Dont you hate it when people invite themselves on your vacation??? Well, thats Tera!!! She convinced me that my vacation should become our vacation! Well, truth is, she didnt have to do much convincing. She moved away from our home town 2 years ago, and I have missed her so much, that when she presented me with the idea, I agreed immediately. And, when I say presented me with the idea that she join myself and DS on our vacation, I mean full out presentation, with flow charts, prices, and everything! So, guess what! We planned for months and months for our 9-day b-day excursion! And, what better place to plan but the Dis?!?
Let me introduce our Cast Members in my words, and Tera (AKA: meeskamouska) will do so for you below (she lies , dont believe anything she says about me)!
Me: Goofyluver (or Jennifer as Im known to my family)! Single mommy to the best boy in the world! Im a speech therapist who works with elementary kiddos and an all around strong woman. If I had to describe myself in one word, that word would be OCD! I am a planner, a strategizer, a clean-freak (thanks mom!), a worry-wart, and germaphobe! Nuff about my psychosis for right now. Im sure my craziness will come up several times in this TR!
DS: Jon! 11-year-old boys boy! (turned 11 while we were at the world!) Loves all things soccer and video games. And, after his 2006 New Years WDW trip, loves loves loves Disney! I call Jon the enforcer. He knows all and lets everyone know it. He is the keeper of the rules and the keeper of all information that you would never want passed along. Jon has a titch bit of OCD too hmmmm, it must be genetic.
DBF: Tera (AKA: meeskamouska)! My very BF. Tera and I have known each other since birth. Our mommies were friends while we were in the tummies! Tera is the perfect mom, and she knows it. She is the mom that everyone wants to be. One word to describe Tera? Uhhh can I have a few words? How about empty pit of needless information. Tera can sing any song that has come out since the 80s. Name it, shell sing it. She recites commercials and movie lines for no reason at all. She is stronger than any woman her age should be. And, I luvz her! We grew up together. We are sistas from 2 different mothas!
Teras DH: Damian (AKA: Dam)! Damian is perfect for Tera and I love him too. (Dont tell him I said that ) He once walked in on me taking a pee and he consoled me afterward. Damian got dragged into this trip by Tera, but we went on Star Wars Weekend people! And, Dam looooooooves Star Wars. Computer nerd and movie nerd who loves Transformers (yes, transformers ) about sums up Dam. He thinks Tera and I are absolutely nutso about this trip. But, he benefitted from our crazy planning and he should be thankful!
Tera and Dams DD: Kaia (AKA: Genius Girl)! Kaia was 4 in May. She is the smartest kiddo I have ever met. She used to paint standing on one leg when she was only 18 months old. Her identity changes on a daily basis. Some days she is Kaia, others she is Dora, or any other endless list of characters. She is sooooo creative. She once hit on a guy at Red Lobster, when she was 16 months, calling the waiter the boy she liked.
So, these are the crazies, errrr, people I travelled with. All in one suite for 9 days. I almost didn't survive!
***Side note about this TR*** Tera and I are going to do this one together. Teras words will all be in red, mine will be in blue. Yea, we like to confuse people. Hope you enjoy our crazy TR!!! And, dont judge people! Its not nice to make fun of the crazies!
