Hi everyone!!
It's been awhile since my last post. I've been really busy trying to get everything ready for this trip.
My last day at work was Friday
. I left work early to get my hair done (I gotta wash that gray right outta my hair
). After my appointment, I ran some errands.
One of the things I did was get some new gym shoes, Bodyglide and some moisture wicking socks. I have had problems with blisters in the past and I don't plan to have those problems this time!
Yesterday, I finished my remaining errands. One of the things I did was go to the grocery store to make sure there was some food in the house. I asked the boys if they wanted me to cook something before I left. They both said "no". I didn't know if I should be offended or grateful. I chose grateful - one less thing I had to do!
After my oldest DS got off of work, the boys and I went to dinner and a movie to celebrate Mother's Day and my birthday. I had a coupon for a free meal since it was my birthday - YAY free!!! We saw X-Men Wolverine. It was pretty good. The highlight was Hugh Jackman. He looked freakin awesome with his shirt off - JACKPOT!!!
During dinner, the boys asked me about my itinerary for the trip. I was surprised they wanted to talk about the trip. Earlier they were both trying to talk me into taking them with me - and I almost caved! But my youngest DS is not doing well in school so I said he can't go because he can't afford to miss any days of school. To which my oldest DS responded "what does that have to do with me?"
I told him that he needed to stay home to watch his brother. And besides, the whole reason for this trip was for me to go by myself. As I was talking about my trip during dinner, they genuinely seemed interested in what I had planned. And they both said that they hope I have a good time. I just hope they'll still feel that way when I leave
Today I have been cleaning the house and washing clothes - no packing yet. I'll bring my suitcase up tomorrow and start packing then.
Tomorrow, I have to take the car to get an oil change. Once I get home - it will be non stop trip prep
I still have so much to do - give the boys my itinerary, talk about the house rules, make sure they have the emergency contact numbers, organize my trip binder and laminate my list of drinks at EPCOT (a girl has to have her priorities
) I feel like I still have so much to do - and I have an 8 page "To do list" to prove it
By the way, I had a dream last night that I got to Disney and I didn't have any of the itineraries that I have spent the past 5 months working on
It was a scary, scary dream
I'm trying to relax and not sweat the small stuff (and it's all small stuff!) As long as I have my plane ticket and my Disney reservation info, I'm good to go. I can't believe this trip is almost here !!!
Well, I've only got 2 more sleeps before I get to WDW
Back in the 70's, I was actually sewing and making clothes like this for my kids and for me. In fact, I was looking for a pattern the other day to make a dress for my DGD and I found a jumpsuit pattern exactly like this! If anybody out there needs an outfit like this....hey, I can help you out
and I don't want to fight to get to do it! Fighting should not be done on a vacation. Ruins the good vibes
