EMMA TURNED 9 TODAY


and I had to work all day... Today kind of sucked. Thank you guys for the concern on FB, that made me feel a lot better.
I got some stuff today. Try buying FE gifts and hiding the real reason for the items. My husband is looking at me like "what did you buy this for."... He's Totally confused. I have to stay small on my gifts and have to find an extra bag for all the cruise stuff just to keep the secret.
Emma has wanted a phone for a long time now... yes the kids had them in second grade, but I told her when she is 10 unless we go to Disney first. I already have her phone activated(my old lg Dare) and on the day we leave I will tell her I have one more birthday gift. I will hand her the box and the cell will be in it and when she opens it and sees it I'm going to say "how about going to Disney today?" That's how I'm telling Emma we are going.
She knows that she is not going to carry the cell all the time but I really like the idea that when she spends the night somewhere or even out with my family she will have a way to call me. It's crazy how over protective we are these days.
