OH NO!!!!! This is not the update we want to see with a few days to go!

Fingers crossed everyone is healthy and raring to go by departure day.

Oh no Katie!!!! I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way that everyone gets healthy fast and that you don't get sick!!!! Take lots of Vitamin C and drink a lot of fluids!!

Can't wait to see you soon!!!!

 

[Megablocks]

[DisneyDoc5]

[Queenofallthings]

Well, Katie, I know all about being sick right up to departure day. And because of my wealth of experience, I hereby predict that everyone be healthy BEFORE you leave. And there will be no illness at Disney!

Thanks everyone! Patrick was still feeling yucky at times yesterday but overall, is much better. Greg said he was a lot better, he even managed to help with quite a few things on the to-to list! he helped pick up the house, mowed the lawn, took the boys for haircuts and helped make our t-shirts!

I managed to run several errands, did most of the laundry and pick up the house. I'm tempted to declare the laundry done but since in my battle of the germs, I stripped all beds clean the other day (blankets, comforters and all) I just don't want to face that mountain when I get home. School clothes on the other hand can wait! Won't be needing them for awhile

That really just leaves me with packing suitcases today and a couple errands on Monday. Last night, we grilled up quite a bit of food so the next 2 days means no cooking, just cleaning out the fridge

Tonight I'll make a final PT update to fill you in on the plan!

Fingers crossed that everyone leaves that illness behind at home! You know, maybe it's best that they got it before you go and then you'll all be ship-shape for your splendid 15 days!

Thanks for the recipe by the way! I'm going to try it the next time I go to the states and get some more cornbread mix. It's hard to find here as I mentioned....I'm excited to give it a shot!

I can't believe you only have another day and a half to go! Woot Woot!!

 

[MEK]

So you are leaving tomorrow? Right? Well - Have an awesome time! Can't wait to read all about it!

 

[anjalee6]

Have a wonderful time!

Yep, only 6 hours to go...I better get to bed!

Have a wonderful time!

Thanks Anjalee And thanks for all the fun on the June thread and all your hard work!! By the time I get home, you will be on your trip...hope it's awesome!

Oh my goodness, with just a few hours to go I have not accomplished everything yet!! I am starting to pare down the jobs to the minimums. I normally like to clean the house pretty well so it looks nice to come home to. I guess if I don’t vacuum or clean the toilets before leaving, the dirt isn’t going anywhere.

I got all the errands finished today (including my last day of work ) and just have my toiletries to pack in my suitcase but all the other bags are already in the van ready to go. I was going to do my nails tonight but I’m starting to get pretty tired so I think I will pack them in my carryon and maybe do them tomorrow afternoon.

Patrick still wasn’t feeling great this morning and rested quite a bit today. This afternoon, he seemed better. I think he’s now feeling nervous about the plane ride, in 2008 he threw up on the plane (I think it was jitters, he tends to become physically sick from nerves) Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better experience!

So here I give you…THE PLAN!!!!!
