Ha..bet you thought I wasn't gonna use that...well...you're actually right! I am not going to do my final installment of Disney tonight as there is too much else going on!!!!
I will start with this; last night we had Lexi's b-day slumber party for her and four friends....it was a smashing success, fortunately though nothing actually was smashed but a good time was had by all. They were incredibly well behaved and since Ed spent most of the week cleaning and prepping the basement, they were able to be down there for the majority of the evening's activities and we heard no thundering over our heads-YAY! They made a movie, watched a movie and did other silly things before we finally insisted that they get ready for bed. And by 12:15 they were all asleep.....except for one child....ours. She finally feel asleep around 12:45 and then we hit the hay ourselves. I did not get to sleep until between 2 and 3 however because my mind was racing. Mostly regarding several upcoming battles that I am going to have to wage and I really don't want to, but probably a bit because we watched The Hurt Locker while they were downstairs. AWESOME movie...but VERY intense...definitely made my dreams interesting!
It was then a very short night due to the fact that our cat is still peeved at us for going on Spring Break. she spent the first few nights we were home coming into our room and alternating between mournfully wailing at us and screaming in anger. It then switched to that happening at 6:30-7am every morning and today was no exception. Unfortunately she choose to do it in the living room and wake up all the girls.....we got up and tried to coax and then keep her downstairs and let them go back to sleep for a bit and while that worked for them...I didn't get so much sleep that way! Anyway, eventually they got up and Ed went and got Dunkin Donuts(they're back in town and we're super-psyched) and then they vegged in front of the TV and then went outside for a bit before everyone got picked up. All in all I consider it a success:)
The the rest of the day we basically lounged around the house and watched Chip and Dale cartoons(Bella's new obsession) and then New Moon as a family since Ed had not seen it and I had finally gotten the other night. It was just as good as the first two times I saw it...well except for the side chatter commentary by the girls! Then dinner and getting ready for bed. That is until at about 8:30 when we discovered what we thought was a big puddle left by the cat in the middle of the kitchen! Now, she is old, almost 15, but we were really hoping that she could hang on at least through Easter so there wouldn't be any bad associations with the holidays or Lexi's birthday like there is with Valentines day which is when our other cat died! And then we went downstairs and it looked as if she had drunk the Nile and had chosen the wall to release that on. Needless to say, we were not happy and frankly scared that this was the end and what was that going to do to the girls!?!?! It wasn't until the liquid continued to come out from under the paneling that we decided something else must be going on and we went back upstairs to discover that it was actually our fridge's water line that was leaking...all over and under the tiles in the kitchen and down into the basement....so while I was glad the cat was ok, not so happy that we had to peel up kitchen tiles tonight!
So now we have cleaned up as best we can and I am about to fall over while typing from exhaustion, I am glad tomorrow is another day, and a great big beautfiul one at that for 11 years ago, on a Palm Sunday, I was blessed with an amazing gift and I am thankful every day that she is here.

The bad...
Ok...so it was not a completely perfect trip, but then again, when is a trip ever completely perfect????
Sooooo....
1-Fantasmic....I hear it's a fabulous show, I don't actually know firsthand because we were not able to get in to see it even though we had reserve seats. This was truly the only thing in all of the parks that they dropped the ball on organizational-wise. There are lines and paths and special lines for everything...everything but this apparently. We had booked a special dinner package that gave us reserved seats for the show and all we had to do was get there 30-45 mins early. We did. There was no one there to direct us and after pushing our way through the crowds of people that were blocking the entrance we were told to turn around and go to the palm trees. Now at this point I have to point out that we were in Florida and ummm...there were palm trees EVERYWHERE!!!! We went to the closest ones and looked around for any Disney workers and found none and so we went to more palm trees nearby but found no one anywhere. By this time it was now less than half an hour to go to show time and we had been told earlier that they don't seat you even if you have reservations if you miss that time window. Needless to say I was not happy. We proceeded to customer service and they did give us a token gift card but I would have rather seen the show.
2-Our last night there at about 12:30am we started smelling cigarette smoke in our room. At first we thought that the door to our balcony had perhaps not been completely shut from earlier when the kids were opening it up, but then we discovered that it was coming in through the bathroom exhaust fan and filling the room. Now, Disney is non-smoking except in designated areas and every room had its own balcony or patio and it was nice outside soooo, why the heck did they have to smoke in their bathroom????? It took almost an hour before we could actually get security and the manager to confirm it was a problem and that while they couldn't go banging on doors, they would eventually find the people and fine them. Great...fantastic....we on the other hand only had to stay up until almost 4 trying to get the smell out of our room. Oh...did I not mention that the fan in our bathroom was on a motion sensor so it would only go on when someone walked directly under it and triggered it and that it only stayed on for about 3 minutes at a time....yeah...so we had to stay up continually running in and waving our arms to get it to go back on to get the smoke out.
They did offer us a late checkout....which would have been lovely had we been able to sleep in. Unfortunately when I got up at 7 to go to the bathroom I smelled it again as they were smoking in the bathroom again and this time it was worse and they were then using Lysol to try and cover it up! We immediately threw everything into our bags and demanded another room to go try and sleep some more in and to shower in as there would have been no point to showering in our bathroom after that. They did move us...after an hour and a half...but right next to the ferry which was by then up and running and letting off a VERY loud horn each time it docked or pulled away from the dock, not exactly conducive to sleep.
Yes, technically it was not Disney's fault that those people chose to smoke in their rooms, however....one would think with all the money that Disney makes they could have installed smoke detectors in the bathrooms and rooms that would go off so loudly it would definitely deter people from doing that...especially when they could just step outside -I think that is what burns me up the most...why didn't they just take one step outside of their rooms and smoke?
That's it.
Which, again, all things considered, that is pretty good that those were the only truly "bad" experiences that we had. Of course, you haven't heard the next category which I am still not sure of how to name because it's not "ugly", more of insane or crazy or totally whacko...I guess I have a day to figure it out:)
As for this week and today in particular-there was a Juniors meeting where we celebrated what a wonderful job the girls did with the World Thinking Day Fair and then they talked about an upcoming camping trip and did a craft and then they made me tear up with a very sweet card and a gift card to Target (yay-and I already spent it on a special edition dvd of New Moon and a very pretty Easter Shirt:) ) Tonight we had a nice dinner from our fave Mexican place and then did the shopping and then I helped Bella and her bff and bff's mom and brother and sister put together a marble roller coaster for the competition that is tomorrow.....yeah...that was...stressful, I mean fun!
Anyway-that's all folks for now,
So as always,

The Good
Ok...I am still in recovery; yes you read that right, recovery. Disney can take all the zip right out of you when you get back from it! We were totally fine while we were there and even on the road home, but now that I am back, the long hours and miles upon miles of walking have taken their toll on me and I feel exhausted beyond compare.....well, I could compare but I won't, so I guess it's just good I haven't felt like this is a long time:)
Anyway on to the good!
1-The Polynesian was wonderful!!! The grounds were beautiful. The pool was great, or so they told me, I spent my time in the sand at the beach area when we went down there. Yes, the sun-lover in me just wanted to lie down and soak up the rays and so I did :) The room was nice and roomy and everyone slept fairly well each night.
2-The food...OMG-it was amazing! We took advantage of the deluxe dining plan (which I recommend because otherwise the prices can make you queasy :P ) and so we got an appetizer, main dish, dessert and non-alcoholic drink at every sit down meal!!! And at the fast food places we got a drink, main dish and dessert, plus two snacks a day!!! Needless to say we had more than enough food and even cleaned the fast food place at our hotel out of water bottles on our last day using up our snack points!
3-Food allergy awareness-they were a 100 on a scale of 1-10. At every meal the chef would come out and go over the choices with Belle and they even made special sundaes for her. Also the chef at the Kona Cafe, which was at our hotel, went above and beyond as he even got special food for us from the other restaurant there so that the chicken wing appetizer could be had by Lexi!
4-The Magic-it truly was a magical place and the girls had a fabulous time and we had a fabulous time watching them have a fabulous time...okay, okay, we enjoyed it for ourselves too :)
5-Staying healthy-no one got sick....well not sick, sick...some of us...ok, me, got motion sickness from certain rides we will not mention, but I knew that would happen and it was really my own fault for not taking some Dramamine so I picked some up after that day and all was well in K's stomach after that!
6-Most likely due to the aforementioned miles and miles of walking and in spite of the delicious and large portions of food....I lost weight!!!! Yes, you read that right~LOST weight!!!!! In fact, the girls just told me that if I don't stop losing weight I am going to disappear altogether! Which was a very nice sentiment but hardly the actual truth, but I am extremely pleased with that fact none the less.
7-People watching. It was literally a feast for this observer's eyes. You can find every body type, color of hair and skin, language spoken and a trillion other things there...and that is just in the workers!!!! But it truly is an amazing study in human nature and how we all interact and react indeed....I'm thinking of writing a paper on it ;)
So to sum up-we had fun....oodles and oodles of fun! We were also lucky enough to have some very good friends who also spent their Spring Break there too and we were able to hook up a couple of times and do some rides together and swim one day together as well. It was practically perfect in almost every way and I am thankful that I finally get to truly cross that off my bucket list.
Inevitably there were a few minor glitches...but that is for the next post :P
So I will leave you with one last thought...mostly cause it is stuck on replay in my mind but,
"It's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of ev'ry day"
Yes, Walt, there truly is.

Amazing
day, wasn't it? Just so beautiful and warm and one can only hope that it was not just a cruel tease by Mother Nature! I was able to sit outside for a bit, did some errands and even read "Prosciutto e Uova Verdi" to Lexi's class:) Plus we went to conferences and then to eat and then to shop for break and then...to wrangle two very sassy youngins to bed! And so now I am about to go sit and ice for a few, my ankle is doing well but yesterday's therapy plum tuckered me out...I forgot how much they make you work! And so I crashed early and made sure to do my exercises today!
That's really it. Short and sweet.

Monday, Monday
so good to me. Monday, Monday, it was all I hoped it would be... and...stop right there:)
Well...let's see, the plastics doc went fine, as I expected :) It was an in- yep,it all looks good, no nipples, right? ok, see ya in 3 mos - out appointment , which is always nice. Then I had coffee with my wonderful chauffer for the day-mom~thanks, love ya xoxo~ and then off to the oncologists for my 3 month checkup. Everything went swell, including the blood letting, only two vials and in a good vein on the first try!!!!!!!WOOOOOHOOOOOOO. It has of course bruised and does happen to be the vein right at my wrist but hey...One try. One. Try. One. :D
During this appointment my mom graciously ran back and picked up Bella from school and brought her up to the allergist who is conveniently located catty-corner to my oncologist! They picked me up and we headed there to get B on a whole springtime regimen as she was starting to have breathing issues from her nose and lungs poor doll :( And then we got lunch, because she had missed it and they dropped me at PT and mom took her back to school.
PT was...good actually. I really like her and she was very willing to get me back on track, plus she said I had done a good job of icing and elevating (yay) and that had probably saved me a lot of time and pain. So now we are on to using it again and strengthening everything. Not that it isn't sore...it is...but I am still staying off it and icing now, I'm not gonna push my luck either!
Oh...and I did a new recipe in the crock pot! Yes I have regained some semblance of a brain since the GS events are behind me and I planned ahead and today I crocked "Pork Carnitas" and it was delish. Everyone ate it and the smell was amazing all day...even now in fact, yum.
So, have a wonderful evening and,

Sunday
went by oh so fast...or so it seemed!
We had a somewhat lazy morning as I am still trying to stay mostly immobile and Lexi was still sick but B was productive, going to church with Nana, and Ed too as he met a friend for lunch. The girls and I did manage to discover that Lexi has absolutely no shorts to wear on spring Break next week...lovely, eh? I think it's quite hilarious since I bought her a couple of new pairs last Sept. to get through the start of school and they were even a bit too big...but somehow between then and now she has completely leapt right over fitting into that size! Of course on the bright side...B has several nice, essentially brand new, shorts now:)
We have started making our lists....and yes, I do check them twice...probably about 5-10 times when it's all said and done actually, but who's really counting???? Tomorrow though is not at all focused on Spring Break..instead it is a day of Doctors!!!
I have my PS, then my Onc, then lunch and the bank and finally PT...a full day I am betting.
Hope you all had a lovely day and enjoyed the beautiful spring preview:)

Come and gone
Friday has that is:)
My mom came over and we did get the shopping done~thanks mom~xoxo
and B made it safely to her party thanks to a wonderful mom who picked her up! Ed was all ready to take her and the doorbell rang and there was one of my Brownies smiling saying she was there to get B! To which we looked at B and she oh-so-very-non-chalantly says, "Oh yeah, BBF2 is picking me up and taking my to BFF1s party!" Ed and I looked at each and shrugged and said, "Ok." And then thanked the very, very nice mom of BFF2 who has also helped a lot recently with the troop and happened to be there to witness my skillful plunge down the steps too!
So off they went and an apparently fabulous time was had by all because B came home exhausted but happy:) Unfortunately Lexi is not faring as well. Ed took her to the Dr. this week and she has a massive infection and only being two days into the meds is not helping, so she is staying home and resting right now and just trying to feel better-poor babe:( and is missing one of her BFFs bday parties...sigh.
I am feeling better in the footal area....still staying off of it, but it is not nearly as swolllen and less purple too, so that is progress:) My plan is to keep doing that tomorrow and well frankly, as much as I can till break and luckily I don't have all that full of a schedule except Monday when I have three Dr.s appts.....but...that will be a lot of sitting hopefully soooo.....just gonna keep elevating, and adding some flexing in too, but mostly being gentle and not pushing myself...which is soooooo not my typical behavior, it's taking all the strength I have to not do things like empty the DW and do laundry, and other people do them as soon as I ask...but....I hate not being able to ya know........I suppose this could be a small reminder lesson that I need to slow down and chillax......ok..I hear ya, I am!
Hope you all enjoyed this wonderful weather we had today!

Typical
I was right-no broken bones! YAY! But I did manage to tear a ligament, sprain the ankle and shade the entire foot in various purples! Which has resulted in a mini-cast-boot that I must wear when walking with shoes on...so I haven't walked much since I got it, and that has seemed to work out just fine actually:P
The Dr. did say that all should be well by spring break and Disney in 10 days and for that I am very happy, but it is also why I am taking no chances and will continue to minimize my movement~except for the two b-day gifts I must get tomorrow for parties the girls will be attending over the weekend, but mom is driving me to get them:) I am bound and determined that we all at least head off to DW healthy this year....and yes I knocked on wood after I typed ;P
So for now I continue to ice, and sit, and elevate, in an attempt to allow my body to use all of its good healing powers and fix things as fast as it can...and yes that was a bit of coaching in my head to myself but hey, can't hurt, right?
Hope you all had a fab Wed. and enjoyed the sunny skies if you were around here anyway:)

Are you kidding me????
So...today Lexi was home, she has a sinus infection for which I was planning on her going to the Dr., but they are closed on Tuesdays(I forgot that) so tomorrow hopefully! I had Brownies and it went well, the girls are fun as always and I think there is just the right amount of seriousness and silliness for them...and me:)
After that I headed to my wonderful cookie manager's house to pick up Bella's cookies and as I was leaving I pulled a typical K and missed the steps! Yay.....oh yeah and owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
It has been a long time since I have actually done something to myself that resulted in me ending up flat on the ground, and it had been a good run...no longer. I managed to fall and twist my ankle quite thoroughly...enough that I think everyone else(ok, and myself for a second there) thought I had broken it. But then I convinced myself that I never actually break things I just mess up joints and so that is probably what I did and I got up and drove home....and collapsed! Well, not literally, I sat down and we inspected it and it looked just as skinny and knobby as it normally does and not any shade darker either but man o man it is really hurting! I even had ice on it and had down two extra strength tylenol within 5 mins max!!!! But ouch...and nooooooo....I sooooo do not need this right now or in the coming weeks. Ick Luge, why?
Ok..so I typed that when I got home.....overnight...it has not improved a bit..in fact, it is now swollen and truning lovely shades of purple in several spots! SO I am headed into the Dr today to see what the xrays shall find.......
I will let you know and....

Whew
Thursday went GREAT!!!! The girls were fabulous and the fair was a success by all measures. Everyone loved it..well...a few girls didn't care for all of the food but that was to be expected and it was about learning and trying new things anyway:) Then I went out and shopped for camp this weekend. And so I ended up exhausted and woke up with a migraine Friday morning, which after only one dose of meds got better luckily, so I was able to eventually pack up and get everything ready for camp.
Camp went. It was a perhaps a preview of March..started off like a lamb and went out like a lion...at least that is how it is looking for these parts anyway! I am thankful for wonderful friends who know when I need a laugh and a hug and always seem to be right there. :)
And of course both girls, who played outside all weekend and weren't able to wash off, are now home sick with all kinds of allergy things going on....at least this year we have two weeks before Spring Break so hopefully this will be out of everyone's system and we can enjoy ourselves and Lexi will get to participate!
Anyhoo.....hope everyone had a nice weekend and as always,
