A Magical Trip!
The shock of the trip has settled a little, I can believe it’s happening now. The excitement is still coming in waves, but I’m a worrier so those waves are interspersed with worries, like missing my daughter and husband, I realise this sounds a bit wet but I’ll be away for a week when you include the travelling and I know it’s going to be really HARD. On a less dramatic level there are a number of smaller worries, how much money to take?, what clothes to take, purchasing new clothes, organising childcare or specifically who’ll be dropping who off and when…you know all the little bits. Then there’s the silly worries, my thighs looking big in my cozzy and what if nobody likes me, silly I know, there are seven people going at least one will like me 
The plans for the trip have shifted up a gear too, we have an itenerary, which will be followed by a more detailed itenerary shortly (the itenerary looks amazing). The flights are booked and I know that I’m flying to Gatwick a week on Monday, I’ll be catching my zzzz’s at the Gatwick Hilton before flying out to Orlando on Tuesday morning.
With so much going on I figured the best thing to do today was eradicate the smaller worries (no, I haven’t had liposuction on my thighs) I headed for the shops, I’ve managed to get everything I need plus I’ve borrowed some stuff, so I’m more relaxed now. I already have dollars in the house as, by some strange coincidence, we are off on a family holiday to Orlando in June! So my plan is to ‘borrow’ (steal) some of my money for that trip in the hopes of replacing it at a later date.
I’ve begun to prepare Erin for my trip, she’s three and only been away from me for 36 hours before, so it’s a pretty big deal. I’ve basically said that Mickey Mouse has been on the phone and needs to see me before we go on holiday. Mickey needs to find out what things Erin likes and he wants to show me stuff that Erin would like. Oh, and he also has a special gift for Erin that I need to collect
I thought it was pretty ingenious, she nodded and agreed and got excited about the gift but I’m not really sure that it sunk in, I guess the reality won’t kick in until I go. I just keep telling myself that she isn’t going to an orphanage for a week, far from it, she has two days with each of the grannies and three days with Dad, and I know she’ll get spoiled, but she’s still my baby, but at least she’s getting to go in 8 weeks, and it’ll be good for her (to be away from me)….won’t it?
I've been blogging for four years and write about anything and everything that takes my fancy.

Aw that’s so sweet! Mine are slightly older so I’m battling the ‘hey, how come you’re not taking us with you?’ and ‘what on earth does a 39 year old need to go to Disney for ALONE?’ type questions. Still, I’m very excited!!
