As most of you know we are leaving very soon for Disney World. **Giggle** I am in full on panic mode. What if I forget something...something important...like diapers, or tickets?!?!? I have checked and rechecked lists and written notes in the packing lists and all kinds of "ok....yeah I did pack that...right?!?!" to myself...out loud. I'm going bonkers! It hasn't really helped that between D being in Nashville, and then at work here with all the "ice" crap, I have been doing almost everything myself. I miss D terribly. When he finally got home last night, he went right to sleep. My poor hubby. Think he needs a vacation more than anybody! And even with him being gone more than him being home this past week, he still found time to record Modern Marvels, Disney World Tech for me as a surprise! In my world...that's romance and love right there. ;)
So, I'm sitting here watching it, blogging, and waiting on the washer, dryer, and dog treat dough to beep at me that something is done and I can move my rear to more packing! Y'all... in Cinderella's castle there are more than 300,000 hand laid tiles..just in the walkway! HAND LAID. If I could whistle, I would. ( Yes, I really cannot whistle, I've tried many different ways)
The big kids are really big into Disney pin trading, so for an additional present we got them each 20 pins (used and cheap in comparison to retail/new prices) to be able to trade when we get there. We got Landon 10...even though it will be a good social thing for him we're hoping he warms up to it too. If not, he'll probably just love having them and being like his Sissy and Bubby!
I wish my mom would go with us. She said she wouldn't go to Disney if we paid her...I just don't think she's gone with the right people! Or at the right time! But, maybe in a few years....I'll start working on her so maybe she'll go with us next time!
The Christmas cards are all addressed and ready to go, so as soon as we get back I can just send the pics to print, pick them up, shove them in the envelopes...make Jessica lick and close them, and stick in mailbox! Some might be a little late, but I'm hoping most will make it! Don't think it's not coming if I have your address, it is!
I'm still praying every day, sometimes multiple times a day, for the kids to be healthy. This is our family vacation, but it's also their Christmas present. Landon and Isaac don't really understand too much, but the big kids know that this is their present. I think most people put alot on vacation expectations, and most people put on huge expectations for Disney. It feels like I have soooo much riding on this one. Family vacation, Disney family vacation, hopefully Jessica's Disney vacation when she can ride rides and not be in wheelchair, not knowing when next vacation is since we have a whirlwind coming up with Isaac, D needing a vacation, and overall....IT'S DISNEY!!!
Seriously...we're like the Griswold's...only plus 2 more kids. I swear. I think when we are all loaded up in the truck and out of Memphis I will finally take a deep breath!
I was going to go get my phone fixed today, but ran out of time. I will be posting pics on facebook when we take them with my phone, or I'll make Jess or D. Sometimes my phone takes great pics, sometimes it fails. We'll see what happens! Landon knows we are going to Mickey Mouse's house (that's what we're telling him) but I don't think he remembers, so I can't wait to see his face when we go! Less than 48 hours...less than 48 hours...less than 48 hours... :)
