Hey my lovelies-

kids are on spring break, and the weather has been a lymeis nightmare....anywhere from 50s and rainy, to snow!

pain is so amped up, it's insaine. and to top it off, I have a killer cold! lovely.

Our big vacation plans are going to an indoor waterpark today, spending the night and we're able to still use the park tomorrow after checking out, so we'll be doing that. This is hard enough on me on a "decent" day, let alone a day like today, so please, do what you do, be it pray, send positive energy, or whatever, that we are able to have a good time. Let my kids forget about their mommy being sick, and have a good time, let me be able to do things with them, although I am thinking I will be in the lazy river most the time and the hot tub, lol.

maybe I can even get the people at the front desk to show some sympathy and make it extra special if I explain to them about lyme a bit, and that we haven't been able to take a vacation in years because of the cost of treatment, I'll open my bag and show them the tons of supps of pills I have to swallow every day, and see hat they can do and say "just so my kids can forget thier mommy is so sick for one day and make this special for them"

I know it's probably wrong to do that, but what the heck, I see low lifes getting handouts all the time, and I've been a good person, helping thousands of people for the past 3 years, I think I deserve a perk Smile

so any pm's you send I will get to as soon as I can, not sure how long it will take me to recoup from all this. hopefully will be back on friday.

xoxoxo

Enjoy yourselves!

And don't feel bad for 1 minute about asking them to make it special for your kids. I'm sure they will be more than accomadating...if they have good guest service...

I used to work for Disney in Orlando and it was always my pleasure to go the extra mile and make a child...or parent's day.

I hope you all have fun! I'm a little jealous actually. the lazy river and hot tub regimen sounds wonderful...LOL

Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road...
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid

Take you time, hun.

Sorry it was a bust...that's kind of why I don't enjoy public spaces anymore. I get real claustraphobic real easy.

I would not have been happy with those conditions either.

Take as much time as you need. We'll still be here when you return.
