39 HOURS........but who's counting?????? Okay, me!
So we are all packed now except for last minute toiletries. My plan of using my sisters ginormous suitcase didn't work out. I tried weighing it (i know, not accurate at home) and it was 57 already. I figured not to risk being overweight. so i have my larger mickey luggage bag to check. AA charges $25 each way. OUCH!!!!!!
Then we have our small mickey head luggage to carry on, plus a rollaboard (toddler sized from disney store) for my son and then two backpacks. i am hoping that is it- plus the stroller/car booster to check at the gate. My MIL shipped her luggage (hope it arrives on time!), but she'll have a carry on as well as my niece. should be smooth sailing.
Just confirmed the car service pickup at 4am on Saturday..
I haven't told DH what time the car is coming yet. He is one of those wait until the last minute to plan anything type of guys. He'll casually mentioned on a Friday night, "by the way, we are invited to a party tomorrow night'........uh, hello, you need to tell me sooner so we can arrange a sitter etc. 
He also hates getting to the airport too early. But i think we are doing it in good time. 4am pickup gets us to dFW by 4:30am. Flight boards at 5;45am. gives us enough time to check bags, get through security and find some breakfast.
heading to get a pedicure in a few and got my son's haircut last night. Poor kid- hates blow dryers and so i warned the lady and she forgot and broke out the blow dryer to blow the cut hair off of him. i didn't notice her grab it but it was too late. she turned it on and he freaked.....poor kid wet his pants (still potty training ya know). he cried for a solid 15 minutes. the kid will ride roller coasters, isn't afraid of characters and is fearless...........except for blow dryers and lawn mowers.
he just sat there the rest of the time "no blow dryer, no blow dryer!".
So what's next for the next 39 hours? pedicure, more work (off at 5!), vacuum, prepare the guest room for MIL/niece, dishes, one last load of laundry, work tomorrow from 8-5- take dogs to mom's house at lunchtime- and bring her some lunch! hopefully sneak out a little early from work- maybe 4:45??? boss is out on vacation. I am sure no one would care. DS has swim class at 5:45, but not sure we will go, depends on when my MIL plans to arrive tomorrow night. I think she has to work, so not sure what time she gets off. She also has court today for her divorce (yep, the hubby that was supposed to be coming with us, but obviously isn't now). I need to send her a text and wish her luck. They are talking about the house- she still lives in it (restraining order against him), but can't afford it on her own- hoping he buys her out. wish her luck!
so that's it- it is so close i can taste the dole whip!!!!!
THANK YOU ALL FOR READING along and supporting me!!!!!
be sure to follow me on facebook- just find me under Michelle Easler Peters. I'll be posting pics throughout the trip on my iPhone. I am sure all my non-DIS friends will be wondering what a nut I am when i post food porn pics!
I'll try and post at least one last time before we leave- maybe post a pic of all the bags ready to go!
