Well we got Back from Disney on september 8th so it's been one week 2 days. It feels like it's been months since we got back. It was the busiest trip we have ever had. I think we probably will not do 7 day park tickets unless we are staying there for 10 days. I do need to have a nice relaxing vacation right about now, but enough of that let me tell you about our vacation to Disney.
When we landed we got to ride the Disney Bus to our resort. A nice 30 minute drive and a little movie. I swear i get more excited about this stuff than my 4 year old. I have been going to Disney since I was a little girl so it does feel like i am a kid again. Probably why i get so excited. Well lets get back to it. We started to get close to Disney Seeing the Walt Disney World sign. Which i had to take a picture of it. Showing the kids all the fun stuff around us. Then we saw the sign for Magic Kingdom woohoo I knew we were getting to the resort. When we arrived at Wilderness lodge i almost ran off the bus. I checked us in and we went to see the room. Then we headed to dinner at the Floridian. It was so beautiful there. Most of us had yummy steak. Then it was off to Magic Kingdom. We got a few rides in that night. I wanted to do more than what we did but we were so tired we just wanted to sit and relax. The whole week we got to go to all the parks and some parks more than once and some rides more than once. It did seem to be busier on Labor day weekend but once labor day was over we barely had any waits. It really did work out nicely.
I waited years to do Fantasmic and the last 5-10 mins it started to pour so we left and they shut it down a few mins later. Hopefully we can watch it again another time.
My oldest got to go on Splash Mountain and Big thunder mountain for the first time. Also Dinosaur was a first too. He could have gone on Soarin but I forgot to look at the high chart on the phone to see if he could go on it. He says Splash mountain was his favorite ride. Buzz lightyear was his favorite too of course. We got to go on rides we never went on before and got to meet characters that we haven't met in the 4 years that we have been there. But Toy story was his all time favorite and mine too. Some of the adult rides were kinda getting to me. This was the first year that i have EVER felt like I was done going on rides. It sucked I always want to be the first one on but not this time. I decided to shop rather than go on another ride. I had fun going on the kiddie rides.
It was a very special trip that is for sure I got to celebrate my birthday in the most magical place on earth. We got to go to Chef Mickey and I got a special cupcake with a big hug from Minnie Mouse. It was great. We were supposed to see Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin at night of joy but since it was raining hard we couldn't wait till it stopped raining we hard to leave early for our bus to the airport in the morning. We did get to see Need to Breathe it was Jordan first concert and he loved it they did an amazing job. I was sad to leave that night sad to leave and not see my favorite artist sad to leave Magic Kingdom for the last time.
Things i will never forget. LB and myself went on his first ride on Splash Mountain he said he loved it but when we saw his picture he looked terrified it was so funny. JT also got to go on rides for the first time. He loved it and even fell asleep on the dark rides like haunted mansion. I think LB did the same when he was little.
Overall it was a very productive trip now it's time to a relaxing trip. Tried to convince the big guy to go on a cruise but that didn't fly.
Cant wait till our next trip to Disney. Who knows when that will be right now we don't have any disney timeshare or enough points to stay there which is usually the option.

Starting Preschool
Lukas first day of school is the 27th of this month. My little boy is finally going to preschool school something i have wanted him to do since last year. If i would have known he would have gotten into the program last year i would have done it. I was going to send him to a christian preschool last year but it cost a $100 a month which i thought was reasonable, but the big man did not think so. So i sent him to a class for a few months so he could get an idea of what preschool would be about. He liked it so I knew he will be fine in preschool.
Sending him to preschool does make me happy. Happy that he will be learning from someone other than me, happy that he will be getting what he really needs help with. Happy that he will be making friends that don't like 30 mins away.
Every parent is scared to send their kid off to school especially public school. I know for me their is a fear that the kids he meets might be a bad influence or he will get into problem. He seems to be more of a follower like his Daddy so it kinda scares me that he will fit into the wrong crowd and do what he is not supposed to. We will have to pray every day before school that he will make the right decisions and that the kids he meets will be the right fit for him. He is going to be in crete monee school district probably not the best but for his age it's fine.
I am looking forward to the field trips and the parties. The experiences and the memories he will be making at school. He remembers a lot of things so i know he will remember school. I know I remember Kindergarten better than Pre k the fun things you did in school. I will never forget the circus we put on. I was one of the announcers and since I had a loud mouth the teacher didn't have to give me the mic. It was so much fun.
The only down side to him going to school would be me missing out on Bible study and moms group and other activities because i live so far away I would take me 45 mins to get to the meetings. Since school starts at 8:30 and ends at 11:30 it wouldn't give me much time to do anything. I have to drive 13 mins to his school so it is time consuming.
I love that i will be getting to spend more time with Jordan helping him grow and learn. He is also easier to shop with so i can get things done. Jordan doesn't beg for things like Lukas. It takes me twice as long to shop with Lukas due to him wanting stuff and having a fit. I can go for a nice walk with Jordan too, Lukas doesn't like going to walk for a long period of time. It is sad o think of all the things I can get done with out him 2.5 hours is not enough time.
10 days till he starts school 10 days.

Not doing so good
You have no idea what someone is going through until you Really ask.. not just ask them how they are doing but ask them How are you really doing. Right now i am not doing so good and just need to get it out. I'm i diseased or just not friendly. I feel like i have mosquito spray on me all the time and repel people away. I hate this i hate this feeling. I hate this feeling of loneliness the feeling of no one wanting to be around me. Why does this keep happening. I know everyone is busy with all that is going on in their lives. I feel like i don't know how to be a friend and never knew. I have had so many different friends through out the years that were my best friend. I think it all started when i was little..my best friend moved out of state and i didn't know how to deal with it no one explained it to me. That is when it all started it was like i had to find that person like her and never did.
I swear this is probably why i watch tv it gets my mind off of things... just like that i started Grimm and can't even remember what i was writing about. Thinking is what triggers it thinking is what makes me think these things.
You don't know what is going on with someone Until you really ask.
Just think about that never time you see someone and you ask how are you doing?
A real friend would listen and want to really know how you are doing.
No one has ask me that for a long time now so it makes a person feel like no one really cares about you.

22 days in a few hours 21
Well I had a goal I wanted to meet before I went to Disney.. right now I haven't met any of that goal. I swear things keep coming up. I feel like I need to work out 6-8 hours a day just so i could make my goal. I haven't been eating as much due to the sickness but i doubt i even lost anything.
Well less of that more of Disney. It is so exciting to think we will be there in less than a month. My baby will be there for the first time probably will be scared of all the characters. We will go back.. who knows when? A few months a few years. We love going making memories with our little boy.. now boys. It really is magical and with all the new stuff coming in i fell like a kid again. I wish my mom could be there with us. I don't know if she loved it as much as I do but i have a feeling she did. She would go with my father and brother to visit his family down in Florida. He loved his sister and his niece Traci so of course going to Florida was probably something they did often. I think sometimes when we visited with my mother she thought of him. She probably thought he would have loved this place and all the changes they have made. Magic Kingdom was always the place we went when we visited.
I know when we get there the first thing i want to do is see mickey. That night we arrive we are heading to Magic Kingdom and i am giving mickey a big hug. haha sad I know but it just brings back memories of my mom saying just walk up to him. They didn't have lines like they have now. You used to just walk up to any character but if you didn't jump up to meet them someone would just walk up to them. I like the way they do it now were you have to wait in a line and not just a bunch of people standing around the character jumping in your picture.
I planned everything with this trip. Planning a Disney trip is something you need to do. You just can't wing it. Planning what park you have to go to where you want to eat, what you are going to do though out the day. I love to plan it and sad i did it so quickly this time. I really need to get a job where i plan other peoples trips. Where can i apply for a job like that????
All i know is If you don't get reservations you might not get to eat at a place you want to eat at. Or you have to wait Longer. Only one place we had to wait a bit but it wasn't a horrible wait. Our favorite place to eat in Disney is at EPCOT.. we love Coral Reef.. i don't like fish but they have something for everyone. The best part you have an aquarium to look at while you eat. Sometimes people are taking a private scuba lesson while you are eating. Our second fav place is Tutto Italia we love the Italian food there and the people there are great too. It is a great atmosphere kinda romantic. Something I always ask my hubby when we go is where do you want to eat.. he says i don't know i say well you have a few places you want to eat and those two plus plant hollywood are usually on his list but if not he is okay about it. We love food not just food but Good food and Disney has great food.
The one thing we are excited about is our Son will be able to go on the coasters. SPlash mountain, thunder mountain.. tower of terror ( not too sure he will go on it though) I showed him the rides on youtube and he is looking forward to it.. i think his dad it more excited about that part than he is. He will be able to experience new things the joys a growing.
The other thing that excites me about this trip is my birthday.. well not getting older but being in Disney while everyone says happy birthday to me because it is MY DAY. Usually my husband works on my birthday so it's never anything special at all this time it will be. Everyone forgets my Birthday of course my mother was the only one who really remembered it and always did a little something special for me. My birthday hasn't been a good birthday for a long time. This is the time that i miss her and those special things she did for me. I also get to hear and see my favorite band Casting crowns and Chris Tomlin. I know the other bands will be great too.
WEll we count down the days... soon hours and minutes until we get on that plane.

Sick...what to do when your sick...why did i do it????
Haven't blogged in a month due to being sick for a month. Something my husband will never understand is how hard it is to take care of a house, kids and yourself when you are sick. He didn't expect me to do much but he worked more than he usually does. The man refuses to call off when I need help. He was not well himself. When you are sick you don't want to clean or cook you want to sleep and get better. Well thinking I was getting better from bronchitis I got a horrible sinus infection worse than I have ever had before. My husband gave my youngest this infection who gave it to me and he got the bronchitis on top of it. Always someone Sick in my house. I stopped taking cinch from shaklee and got soo sick the vitamins and minerals in it must have helped me.
I swear so much going on i don't even want to get into it. Having blood work every week done and no results. It was good to hear that everything is fine with my ultrasound. I had to take these tests so I could get on zoloft. Their is more to this story but I don't want to get into it. It is frustrating and I don't know what is going on.
On the other had I had to do something while I was sick.. of course sleep but I found this free audible for a the first book.. I debated what book do I get. I already had the hunger games and didn't finish the first book yet so I didn't want to get that one and had no clue what would be good. Well I kept hearing about this 50 shades of Grey. Not knowing what the book was about I got it.. boy was I shocked at what this book was about. Not sure why I got it..even wishing I didn't get it... but couldn't stop listening to it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.. why oh why did I listen to this book. Feeling like I need to wash my brain from what I just heard. Being so shocked at what was going on in this book. Why do so many people like this book. Why did I want to hear more of it. Not sure if I want to talk about this book with anyone just because of what was in it. Any thoughts guys what do you think of this book?? Have you read it?? Would you read it?

WHy oh WHy
What a week it has been having bronchitis having to take a pregnancy blood test, bringing my son to the heart doctor. NO wonder i was having anxiety. They needed to take the pregnancy test to make sure i can take an antibiotic. I also needed it so i could take an antidepressant.
Well it was negative and we were grateful i need to get things in order for my self first. When i got the blood test results they did tell me my liver enzymes were high. Hearing news like that made me very angry. I kept thinking enough was enough. Haven't we been through enough. We were both shocked and taken back by what the doctor said. I mean we found out my husband has a cyst on his kidney earlier this year.
It just sucks that things just keep coming up medically. I am just praying everything is alright and when they redo the test week that everything is normal. I am getting an ultrasound, blood work and another doctors appointment plus all the activities i signed the boys up for. It's going to be another crazy week to make sure i am okay.
We did get good news with my sons doctor appointment. He was saying his Blood pressure was good on his arms and legs which means no coarctation of his aorta. He even said the hole his VSD seemed to be getting smaller which was an answer to prayer. He was telling us that when he met with the doctors at Christ they said they didn't want to do surgery if it's not needed. I think they thought his hole would close.
I know they are just making sure everything is okay and it might sound like i am complaining but sometimes It really does help to talk about things even if it isn't to a person just letting it out your worries and problems.
Lord i trust in you i bring all my worries to you. Please help us at this time with the many things that have been put before us. We pray for peace with what is going on we pray for your love and help. Amen

Disney TRIP
Well it's 40 days till our trip and boy i can't wait.
I look on all these websites to see the best way to do things there and how to work the Disney system. I count down the days until we go.. what rides we are going on.. i even go on youtube and watch Disney videos.. like i said before i am a Disney Freak and can't wait till the day we move there. 17 years till we move not sure if i can wait that long. But enough about that back to Disney
I just cant wait to stay right by magic kingdom at on of the very nice resorts. I mean it might not be the nicest of the four resorts. But it's so close to the best Theme Park.
We probably would have never stayed here if we had to pay full price i mean we are paying 1/4 of what people really pay it's like staying one night getting 6 nights free. These places are expensive though. People save their money for years just to go to Disney and you have to. I mean if i had to pay full price for the room we are staying at it would be 6000 or 7000 more for the room. Disney is nuts with the prices for their rooms and park tickets for sure. Between using our Disney points and getting a deal on park tickets is the only thing we are paying full price for. Disney Points are great yah having a credit card does suck but the points are paying for part of our meal plan.
