This has been a strange week. Some might even call it a good week. I just dropped my son off for his third day of school. Today was a little bit harder, and he cried when I dropped him off. He said he missed me and didn’t want to go. So I told him every …
Hello again, alcohol. I did well these past few days with less of you, but I knew it was a temporary fix. Why would I need to drink when literally in “the happiest place on earth”? I had no need to. Not that one ever has a “need” for alcohol…but still. I drank to sleep, …
The return “home” was harsher than I hoped. We got home just after my boys were in bed, but not yet asleep. We went in to say hello and goodnight, give them big hugs and all that, but it wasn’t that easy. My 4 year old took it in stride, was happy to see us …
We are flying home today. I’m actually sitting on the plane right now writing this. To be honest, I’m dreading going home. (Not to mention the covid fear induced panic attack in the airport. 😞 ) I’m double masked, obsessively sanitizing and giving a slight evil glare to anyone who even considers coughing near me, …
I’ve been doing a pretty good job keeping the struggles of my reality out of my Disney vacation. I’ve managed to keep the real world distant from the (relative) safety and peace of Disney World. It’s something I’ve needed…a few days to just completely detach from my life. Up until last night, I’d been able …
We have a saying in my house. My boys know it well. “It’s not my job to make you happy.” You might disagree with me, but hear me out. My boys might get upset with me if I tell them no, if I say they can’t watch TV, if I don’t give them a snack …
I’m not responsible for anyone else’s happiness, and neither are you Read More »
Today is day 6 in Disney World. Last night my husband, brother and I went to their new after hours party, the Boo Bash. We stayed in the Magic Kingdom until after midnight and had a great night. As you might know, I have 2 boys, 4 and a half and 2 and a half. …
Today we started early in Hollywood studios. The day isn’t over yet and we are on our way to dinner at the Wilderness Lodge, but it’s been a busy day. Throughout this whole trip I’ve been really trying to focus on small moments of true happiness, without the guilt, or sadness or anxiety or any …
Day 2: Magic Kindgom Today was our first full day and we spent it at the Magic Kingdom. As you know, this is an “adults only” trip, and my kids are staying back at home with family members. I am the youngest child in my family, and I’ve always acted like it (in a good …
Day 1. We’re here in Disney. My husband, my brother and my parents and I all finally met up and we are together. We are in Disney for the next week and a half, and it feels good. My kids are staying with family members back home. I’ve noticed lately that I really struggle with …
