Day 6 Epcot

On the Bus again. I'm telling you I now have a totally new respect for the Bus Driver.

Epcot... is it a Golf ball? I must have missed the information thing that would have gave me that little tidbit of knowledge.

This day March 18th started the Annual Flower Festival. Which was amazing.






The boys got very cool face paintings.

Picture of the woman behind the camera.

By the time we got back to the Hotel I was spent. My foot and leg was swollen into one big cankle and the Paparazzi.. I had to fight them off.

Day 5 Hollywood Studios

Looking pretty sharp on St. Patty's Day.


While the boys road the Tower of Terror, Richard got camera happy.

We also enjoyed the most amazing Pina Coloda ever.


Hubby was just excited.

Stood in more lines and warded off the Paparazzi.

Waited very patiently to see the Lights, motors, Action stunt show. Which was Awesome.

Calob had to have his picture made on this thing mainly cause he's a boy and this is cool.

Yay for another GREAT day!

Day 4 Animal Kingdom

There was Timon, Flick, Goofy and Lilo and Stitch.


And lots of Chocolate Mickey Heads.

Jacob gave me a flower.

But then he thought he looked better wearing it.

Hubby and I got BUSTED!

Also had our own personal tour guide.

Tried to be a little creative with my new camera again.

Then I got BUSTED again.

We got a little bored standing in line to see the Lion King. That can only mean one thing...

Then I was made to promise to post the following...

Finally got to see the show. Which was awesome by the way.

Jacob loves Monkey's and his day was complete when we ran into Turk.

Day 4 was another AWESOME day!

Not so good Mother moment

I have been sitting here at work thinking abut what took place yesterday afternoon and this morning.

Maybe it was a compilation of the stress and the sleepless nights I have been having.

I truly feel utterly like a NOT so good Mother.

Richard hasn't been feeling very well the last week or so. The pain is worse and more spread out. Beginning in the lower lobe of his right lung and going deep into the groin area. The patch is barely doing it's job and he is having to take more pain medicine to get him through the day.

What does this mean? Has it spread farther? Just how bad will the scan be on the 16th? Why am I at work?

Ok so that last question I most definitely know the answer too. No worries there. It's just sometimes I feel I need to be, I want to be at home with him.

So anyway memories... it's all about making memories for the boys, for myself. So I borrowed a wheelchair and we came up with a plan.

Hubby and I thought we would surprise our two well deserving, stressed out boys that have been doing SAT and ARMT testing all week.

Surprise them with tickets to go see "Walking with the Dinosaurs" tonight and the Blue Angels Air Show tomorrow.

We thought they would be ecstatic.

Yeah not so much. They had other plans to go spend the night with their friends. And now we were infringing upon them. Inconveniencing them.

Well this morning as Jacob was complaining about how late we might get home tomorrow from the Air Show and then not wanting to go with us and rather go with his friends on Sunday.

I lost it. I stooped lower than low. I know that it was bad.

I actually told my child and the youngest one that was listening that they were being selfish. That their Daddy is not going to be here much longer and they should much rather spend time with him cause one day here sooner than we would like he's gonna be gone, but their friends... oh yes their friends would still be here to go and do and spend the night with.

I feel terrible and it's all I can think about.

As I know that this is hard on all of us and sometimes we just need to be with friends to just be away from it all. In the comfort of others.

Tonight I will apologize to my wonderful boys and hug them and love them because this life we're living... is a hard one.

I will also make sure that we are home early enough tomorrow so that they can go and be with their friends for a fun filled night of video games and junk food.

Thanks to all of our awesome friends and family that are there to help us along the way and to provide the breaks in our reality.
