It's that time again......A visit to The Mouse's Kingdom!!!
We're at T-2 days till blast off, and our Grand Caravan will be weighted down with all manner of vacation paraphenalia. This year, all the kids....even my married son and his wife...will be joining us. My parents will drive up from Naples to join in the fun too!
Our family is sorely in need of some time away....away from deadlines, relationships, pressures, gloomy overcast skies, you name it. We're heading for a major shift in life this next year as daughter #1 prepares to fly the coop and feather her first nest at college. Daughter #3 will be starting high school in the fall (Yikes!), and I will probably go back to homeschooling the two little guys. I'm sure there will be more surprises ahead as we redefine our roles (again), rearrange bedrooms (again), and renew our values and commitments as a family (again). I hope this time away for our family will offer many opportunities for sharing hopes, dreams, encouragements, even disappointments.....
I am more thankful every year that we can make this trek to Disney World. Each year I remind myself "this might be the last time", and so I set about making happy memories as if we might never see Tinkerbell make her glowing flight from the tippy-top of Cindy's Castle. *sniff*
Peace.

Have a wonderful time! I love you and your family because you always keep doing things again... From Disney trips to family discussions to revaluating. You are special because you do this!!!! When there is a problem, you don't just say, here is your punishment. You talk to your kids and work together as a family. I know it can be rough sometimes, but I so admire your family's closeness during good times and bad. Enjoy the warm weather and the closeness you share! Love ya! Peace!
Thank You Angie!
I'm glad you're here to remind me that all is not hopeless and that I'm an ok mom most of the time :o)
I'll try to bring back warm temps and sun!
