I'm on VaCaTiOn!!!

I'm outta here...heading to Florida with Kirbie...I'm so excited yet so nervous.

I've left my hubby at home with the kids for 2-3 days for a business trip here and there but this is the 1st time I've left for 6 days!!! It's not that I don't think he can do it...he's a GREAT dad (the laundry won't be done, but he's promised the dishes would get done...our deal is just as long as the house "looks" like it did when I left...we'll see). If you know me well enough (or if you don't you will know a little bit more about me now)...Megan's clothes will be picked out with coordinating bow and shoes and there is a schedule/calendar on the refrigerator with everything he needs to know.

Next, I want it to go on the record RIGHT now...I am NOT taking a vacation from being a Mom OR need to "get away". I'm an OvErPrOtEcTiVe step-mom and who wouldn't let our 16 1/2 year old go to Florida by herself (though we're traveling with her dance company...a total of 20 people in our group...12 girls/8 adults)...it freaked me out that she would be going so far away from home by herself...does anybody else see a problem with this??? So...I "volunteered" to go.

Most of the girls have a parent going with them, but there are 2 girls in our room whose parent are not...I just couldn't do it. But...being the responsible "parent/adult" I called each of the Moms and introduced myself so they knew my number yada yada yada...I just want them to feel secure that I'll keep an eye out for them. They weren't concerned at all...had no problem with their daughter going without them...WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???

Nevertheless...we're gonna have LoTs of fun!! I will tell you that...one of the Moms told me that her daughter told her that Kirbie told her (ya follow??) that "I liked to stay up late and have fun". I guess I won't be getting much sleep with 3 giggly girls in a hotel room. But hey...you're supposed to be a kid at Disney World...so I might as well.

So...have a great week...we'll be in Florida with 90 degree weather...forecast for scattered thunderstorms and HuMiDiTy!!! And don't worry...there will be plenty of pictures and a blog when we return...
