I keep getting e-mails about Disney related stuff with like "Oh my Disney" in the subject line and every time it gets me
ya any subject that has the world Disney has my heart pitter patter. Today I got a phone call from Theresa NY. First thought was OMG is that New York, but I didn't dare pick up and sure enough it wasn't Disney. I can't remember what it was but I know it wasn't that I won. I was sad.
Hey - I think it is OK even if you were complaining
Cold weather is miserable and, even though it could be worse, you can still not like zero degree and colder - ouch!
It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and dreaming about sunny FL seems like a good escape! I've never done a solo trip but would imagine it would be awesome...go at your own pace, eat everything you want, sleep in when you want...sounds awesome!
Here's to hoping for that winning call/email/FedEx package
That's very kind of you for telling me I can complain but I don't want to complain because the cold is temporary and I am blessed with a home that has heat and I have more than enough clothing and blankets to layer and be warm if I stopped obsessing about reading Disney stuff. I can't believe how bad this is getting. A day doesn't go by that I'm not mentioning JetBlue or disney to someone. It's becoming a sickness.
And yes Solo was the best. I would laugh if I was walking and decided to turn around and go in the opposite direction. No one to explain it to and no one to be annoyed if I stopped and talked to a CM or didn't want to do something. I even went to the dance party with the Incredibles and was that 52 year old lady (yes chubby) dancing and sweating to the beat. I was having the time of my life dancing and it was obvious I was not with anyone.
The lump in my throat came when I noticed a make a wish family surounding a young man laying on a "hospital bed" (not sure what to call it) and Mr. and Mrs. Incredible came over to dance with him. I don't know who was smiling bigger the young man or the family supporting him. I was thinking of the blessing I have that although my 23 year old has limitations, it's nothing compared to this families challenges but it was obvious love was getting them through it.
Disney really is my paradise. The place I can go and just leave life here behind.I feel so well taken care of that I don't have to drive and I can just spend time walking around and people watching. I'm very fascinated by people and watching behaviors. You can tell a lot about people.
I wish my son would be able to enjoy it with me, but he has too much anxiety around crowds and the characters are weird to him.
I so get it! I am a mom to four, including one 'special' ds. I sometimes long to get away just myself or with my dh. Never happens though
And oh my, what is with the weather this winter?!? It's been so much colder, snowier and over-cast this winter. We were at WDW in Dec and I was longing for warm weather and an 'escape' from our cold weather. Instead, it was mostly cold while we were there. So, I need a redo with some warm temps this time
Hmmm I visited Colorado about 7 years ago and they had a snow storm but the next day it was so nice and warm. Interesting you are getting cold too.
Are your children young? The hard part about my son is that in some ways he is able and other ways he really can't be on his own because of safety.
As you can tell I'm a social person so there is limitations with his anxiety around people. He just likes to be home. We get some respite and my inlaws have been great helping so that we can vacation but reality is they are getting older and I need to find other people that will be able to stay with him. Seems we find people and then for one reason or another it doesn't work out. Thankfully for day/night respite my other son can stay with his brother. And thankfully he doesn't mind being home with him.
With having 4 children, sounds like the other 3 might be as my other son is for the future. We had not been on a vacation just the two of us in 25 years. It was last year when we went that I said that we deserve a vacation a year. Especially since our friends are now able to have regular time away and pretty much the social circles we were in no longer exist because their kids have moved on their own in life so we don't have school and social events to attend.
On this note, I'm tired and need to try to get some sleep. I have no plans for tomorrow so I'm hoping that I can be motivated tomorrow and make some progress on organizing some things I've been putting off doing.
Good night everyone. Happy entering!!
