Disneyworld, Here I Come!!

I am waiting to board a flight to Orlando and I have a few little butterflies in my stomach. Why? Because I’m leaving my girls for 4 1/2 days. This is not the longest I have been away from them (5 days is the longest). But, Pumpkin is old enough now that she will be very sad that I am not there. I left during her naptime, and I know she will call for me when she wakes up. Princess, on the other hand, couldn’t wait for me to leave. :) She asked me, “When are you leaving?” She will have a great time and will hardly miss me at all, which also makes me sad of course. But the thought of Pumpkin calling for me and crying for me over the next several days pulls at my heartstrings.

I am going to Orlando for a Neonatology conference. I am meeting my two friends, Katie and Bobbi. We are going to have a great time at the conference and at Disney World. We are going to eat well, drink well, and laugh alot I am sure, but I can’t help but feel a little sad for leaving. I also keep thinking about my two other trips coming up, and that makes it worse. Princess and I are going to Nashville in a couple of weeks for about 5 days, and then Drummer Boy and I are going to Hawaii in April for 11 days!! Again, both very fun, exciting trips, but I’ll be sad to leave my girls. It’s a good thing and a bad thing for sure.

3/1

My trip to Orlando was so much fun. I did miss Drummer Boy and the girls, especially the last couple of days. I really couldn't wait to get home to see them. But, they did just fine without me. Drummer Boy said they were all ready for me to come home, but they were fine. I was glad to hear that especially Pumpkin didn't cry too much about my being gone. That makes me feel better about my upcoming trip to Nashville with Princess and my trip to Hawaii with Dummer Boy. I actually think it may be harder for me to be gone than it is for them. I think I miss them more than they miss me.

Bobbi, Katie and I had a great time catching up in Orlando and enjoying the sun. It was great to explore the Disney parks with a Disney expert (Bobbi LOVES Disney). And I definitely caught up on some R&R. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
