"First rule of leadership, Princess...." ~Overdosing on Ice Cream

I know how you feel, Chel. Make sure you all stay healthy. Now I'm sick and we leave on Wed!!
Your trip sounds fab. I'll be on the look-out for the matching outfits.

My head might explode before this weekend is over. I feel like I have so much to do to get ready to go. I can't make my brain shut down so that I can sleep. That's what it feels like inside my head!

I know that feeling! Have you made lists of what you need to do? (I am sure you have -- that's probably a stupid question ). That's the only way I can cope with feeling overwhelmed -- then I can just go on autopilot and follow the list.

Deep breaths, deep breaths -- this time next week you will be in WDW, right?

I do the list thing too-it's the only way I can concentrate.

It's such a GOOD feeling knowing you are that close to going, yet CRAZY because of all you have to do before then!

I can so relate! I think these guys are in my brain too



To me the last few days feel like you have been studying for a test all year, you felt so good about it, and then BOOM, you can't remember anything, just know you are going to mess up and feel like

Good news is once you are there, breath in that Disney air, it'll all be good!

Hi,
Ok I just read it all. Your plans sound great. I don't think I mentioned in my tr how I did the touring plans. I asked the kids there absolutes and we did them and then we just went where ever we wanted. it worked out so great.

Your trip sounds like a dream come true for those 3 kids!

I hope you like Donald's. Bring me home some of the juice. I can still taste it. It was so GOOOOOD.

Can't wait to try it.

Sorry about your fall, glad your ok.

Thanks, me too! I'm looking forward to your Pirates and Princesses pictures.

I know how you feel, Chel. Make sure you all stay healthy. Now I'm sick and we leave on Wed!!

I think I need lists for my lists! Yes this time next week we'll be in WDW.

That is exactly how I feel! I'm so afraid all this information that I have stored in my brain, that I've spent the last year studying, that I won't be able to recall it when I need it!

Good news is once you are there, breath in that Disney air, it'll all be good!

That makes me feel better thank you!!!

How's it going with getting everything together and ready today?

How's it going with getting everything together and ready today?

I finished what I'm calling phase one of packing today. I got most outfits put into 2 gallon ziplock bags. Every ziplock bag contains: top, bottom, underwear and socks for each day, well sometimes half day. I'm still waiting on some clothing items coming from Old Navy and I need to get more socks for everyone still. I'm procrastinating finishing up touring plans. Plus I need to do a newsletter for football/cheer and it needs to be done by tomorrow night before our board meeting. So that is task number one tomorrow.

More about what else we did today in my next post.

I haven't mention before but we are in the midst of building a house, due to be completed end of April.

Today our appliances arrived!

Tomorrow painting inside begins.

Unfortunately building a house means way more manual labor than I really want to do! Today we had to do yet another round of picking up trash.

It was cold, wet, and muddy(three things I HATE) work. So in order to make ourselves feel better afterwards we came in and had hot cocoa and popcorn, and watched Monster Inc. (See I could get Disney into this. )

 

[Charleston Princess]

Your new house is beautiful! The manual labor though -- I am like you -- ick! Love the hot chocolate, popcorn, and Monsters, Inc. -- I think we may do that tomorrow instead of cleaning the house -- it sounds like way more fun!

 

[swwake]

I can SO sympathize with you on the home-building. I was there for 9 months, 18 months ago. Your house is beautiful, by the way. Now that they are starting to paint, it will really seem to move quickly for you. I bet it will look completely different when you return.

Popcorn and hot cocoa with marshies - YUMM!!

And Monsters, Inc. (again) is on our list of things to do before our vacation. I want to wait until we are closer to the time.

Thanks! Yes I think that is much more fun than cleaning the house.

Thank you. I'm sure it will look different when we back, cabinets and flooring are suppose to go in while we are gone.

I keep trying to watch Bambi and getting out voted. Now the kids say they can't find it. I'm going to have to hunt for it tomorrow.

Yummmmmmy! I had something similar myself, except it was popcorn with chocolate chips IN it.

Hot cocoa sounds so so so good right now....!

I like popcorn with m&ms in it!

I worked at a movie theater in high school and we did fresh hot popcorn with chocolate STARS in them! Or Nonpariels, even better!
