HI Mandy!! So nice to hear from you and to hear about how Becca is doing. I have thought of her often. I am not sure if you remember me or my husband Wayne (the 3rd disney boy here on the DIS) but we do remember you guys and I am so excited to hear all about your trip!
We are heading back to Disney in 10 days!! We are all so very excited
Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!
Nickie
For 2, you did all of those Disney theme nights didnt you??
Yes, I remember ! For one, you sent Bic a postcard
Great start and love the pics!Can't wait to hear and see more. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh I do hope that things havent gone too awry for you! I do hope it is just that day to day stuff and kinda life things that are filling your time up.
You sound down.....shoot me a PM if you need to just yabba away and talk.
I feel as if I am just, and I do mean just, starting to come out of a fog. Since Bic came out of hospital in April/May I dont seem to have been able to get my head around doing anything other than surf and do my daily chores.
I dont work, all I have to do is look after Bic and she is no trouble.
I suppose life kinda got on top of me and I couldnt really put my mind towards doing anything constructive. It's only in the last few weeks that I have started feeling anything like myself again. I do hope it lasts
As I said, if you need to talk, my PM Box is always open, just ring the bell and walk right on in
You are so very sweet. You are right...I am down, but it's a combination of things. We returned from our trip literally into the midst of a major renovation to make our house accessible for Mark ( we were moved while we were away!). Then my mother had a rapid onset of dementia. The boys struggled with respiratory issues (they are twins, born > 3 months early). we moved back into our house post reno. I had some challenging (volunteer) work issues. Our son is struggling with the need to develop his independence.
We spent the fall preparing for SSATs, competing for admission to private schools who it now seems are having difficulty figuring out how/whether to meet our son's needs. (This is a guy who aced those SSATs!). All of us had H1N1...but no admissions for our guys, which I think was miraculous.
And now, tomorrow, I am moving my mother to a long term care facility.
It's just been hard, hard, hard...for over a year. Nothing over the top, nothing critical like you have seen, but just waiting to catch a lucky break. I am surrounded by people who face less adversity and just have to keep my chin up...but sometimes it's so very hard. I come to these threads for encouragement.
You are so thoughful to offer your support...you have been through so mcuh this year.
I am so looking forward to my week away at "the World" with the boys!
You deserve that vacation! Hope it goes alright with your mom today.

Boy, you have been through such a lot lately, you really need a vacation to recharge your batteries.
Why do you belittle your feelings and hardships? Your troubles are as important and as hurtful as anyone elses. Lots of smaller things are sometimes much more of a killer than one big thing. Things that happen throughout the year just carry on dragging you down to that deep horrible place and never give you a chance to recover.
We are all guilty of thinking, well I and my child/children are still better off than their child/children so I really have no reason to complain. Thats why we have places like here to go, these places keep us sane.
You really sound like you have had an horrendous year with knock after knock and no chance to recover.
Hopefully your break at Disney will give you the recharge you so sorely need.
Love
Mandy
