It's just a few more days until we leave for Disneyworld. I posted previously about my spontaneous plans to take a side 3-day trip to Disney on a visit down to my parents who are Florida residents. I've done Disneyworld previously on several day trips during my life, but the key is that I've never done an overnight or never planned.

I'm so excited. If you read my last post, you'll know we haven't had the most fun here this past month (everyone's been sick). So my parents live in Florida, which is good and bad. It's bad because I miss having my Mom nearby, but it's very good in that we have a great, warm place to visit at any given time.

And Disney's always there to tempt us. My parents live about an hour and a half… Read More

So listen to this. The following is a list of illnesses that have rolled through my house for the month of February. Yes, we have really packed all this in during the last 3 weeks:

My oldest (4) has had: the stomach bug, x2.
My youngest has had: the stomach x1; 24 fever bug.
Me: I'm the lucky winner for the month. I've had the stomach bug both times the kids have had it, and last week when I… Read More
