Four Days until Graduation & Disney World..Help me stay sane!!

[wdwmom0f3]

I can't believe it, but it's finally here!!!

But I may need help to get through this week! I am a bag of nerves to say the least. I am planning a graduation party for Lauren for Friday from 3-5. Graduation is at 7 and we are heading to Disney right after Graduation. We will drive as far as we can and then stop for the night. My goal is Lake City, FL.

So this is going to be a very busy & emotional week. I have a ton of yard work to do, a house to clean, this party to plan & get ready for, another party Wed for my DD's cheer team, and to top this all off I think I am getting a poison ivy outbreak! I did some weed eating for my parents this weekend and soon after I started itching a little. I am hoping it's just nerves.

This morning I should be working in the yard, but as always something has come up to stop me. I am taking Lindsey (13) to the Dr because she is still having a time with her allergies. I have got to get her better by Friday even though she is not going to Disney because of cheer camp, she will have a lot going on that she has got feel good for.

OK, who would like to help me stay sane for the next 5 days?
It's going to be a roller coaster, but I am ready to ride!!

I am off to tackle my first task.... the Dr.

Yesterday was a success!! I took Lindsey to the doctor and she had to get a shot to help her get better faster. Then I ran some errands and came home at noon and started working around the house. I planted more flowers and began the horrendous task of cleaning off a large bank that has gotten out of control. I am half way finished clearing it. I worked until 8:00 pm, came in and had a shower, got the kids fed again & crashed. Now I am wide awake at almost 4:30am thinking of all that I need to do today.

My goal for today: Finish bank, put new pine straw out, cut grass & weed eat around the pool, put everything in it's place outside, and clean the front porch.

My children did great today by not making any messes inside. They know how OCD I get when company comes, and how insane I am making sure everything is spotless before a trip so combine the two and they already know I am going to be a walking time bomb. I have begged them to help me this week.

Whats on my mind....

I have no idea how many people will be here Friday for the party. I have only heard from about 20 people plus the 5 of us. I am starting to worry if I am going to have enough food. I am doing a large tray of chicken fingers, pizza squares, chicken salad sandwiches, petie fours, cupcakes, cheese straws, fruit try & dip, chips and dip, mints, nuts, mini fruit pizzas, and I am thinking of adding more. Most will come & go, but I will have 12 of us that will be here until we leave for graduation. This is where my stress will kick in.

This will all be worth it though. Lauren has worked her tail off at school and she has made us so very proud. When I think about her graduating though, I have to hold back the tears.

I have already made two trips top home depot this morning. I have decided that staying busy outside helps to pass away the time. Just finished lunch and I am heading back out to plant some more flowers.
