As promised, I have an update! As trips get c;loser plans have a sneaky way of changing, or "needing" a bit of tweaking. It could be because of all the excitement, or it could be because I felt I had so much time to do things, and now I don't?? Either way, I had my first of many mini freak outs this past weekend
It suddenly hit me, that we don't have a great game plan for the last day/heading home. On the way down, we will drive straight through. Why you ask?? Picture it, the year 2009, driving on I-95, John pulls over to take a pic and sight see, I then jump out of the car, fury in my eyes, say that's enough we have some place to be.... So as you can see, I wouldn't be too into seeing things when there is a mouse waiting for us![ BTW, that was my attempt at Sophia Petrillo (golden Girls) story..]
However; on the ride home, there will be nothing but my apartment and my van full of dirty laundry to come home too. This thought made me sad as sad could be. Getting home last year spun my depression out of control, and I just couldn't handle life for a bit! For those of you who stuck around and talked me through, and waited sooo patiently for my TR, thank you
OK, with all that said, I mentioned it to John while we were on a 2 hour drive to the shore. he felt helpless last year when I went through my depression, so he would LOVE to avoid another bout! John reminded me that he was not scheduled to go back to work until the Thursday we get home,since that is when the new pay period begins, and whats the point of having one day on a pay check? So now, instead of leaving WDW and driving straight through home, we have decided to Stop off somewhere Monday night and spend the night somewhere
Not only will this make the drive a heck of a lot easier on our tired bodies, but it will allow for some hopeful cool sight seeing! We are not planning on doing big touristy things, but rather pull off of I-95, stop and smell the roses kinda deals! I would love to get a pic of each state sign we pass, maybe stop at the corny South of the Border, and whatever else may look cool. We could possibly drag it out and spend Tuesday night somewhere as well, but I did plan on having Kayla back in school by wed, so that is probably not going to happen, which is another reason, it won't be rel sight seeing. But hey I will take it! Not having to drive all those hours without sleep sounds great to me, and Kayla will love seeing each state, even if it is only us pulling off of 95 to snap a quick pic! I may even print out some info on each state we pass so she can write a journal of the car ride home. She can present the class with pics of each state we stopped at, and give a little info on that state
So that is that! I am excited for the extra time! Oh, best part is, this allows for more time in DTD on departure day. originally we were just going to run to DTD and get sandwiches for the road, and hit up goofy's to use up or snack credits, but now we can actually walk around for a bit!
In other news, Kayla's play is done
She absolutely LOVED being up on the stage, and is very much looking forward to the fall/winter plays! Jack is starting to love swimming again, as is Kayla! Every year they are both scared to death! Kayla more than Jack! But this year, they both seem to really love it! Makes life at CSR much easier! Not too much to say about John ;/ He is still happy at his job, which is
lol! I have gotten another tattoo! I started my half-sleeve on my right arm last week. If all goes as planned, it will be half way done for the Disney trip! If any of you are tattooed, you know how long they take to heal, and really how bad the sun is on a fresh tattoo. So really, about 3 weeks or more before the trip I should stop. Either way, my arms are going to be extremely sensitive to the sun. I swear the sun feels like it is burning holes through my freshly inked skin! Hopefully everything will be healed as expected before the trip so I can sun block up and up and up and up! Lots of block on those bad boys!
i think that is all for now! I will now leave you wit these awesome pics
Kayla as an enchanted flower
Taking a bow after show
I promise I was not as miserable as this pic says I am! Getting tattooed
the finished product; a sugar skull
The bruising that occurs after a manly tattoo artist man handles you LOL
My little fish!
