Ugh. Packing. W always did the packing and I'd always joke how much she'd overpack. So I'm trying to keep it to one bag. The last time we went to Florida was October 2008. We'd saved for the trip for two years -- ever since we got back from Vegas. So I'm a little sad. Of course, the Disney trip had a lot of problems. W and I weren't doing well and with the stress I blew up either the day of or the day before.
The trip itself was OK except that by the end D7, who was just five and really struggling with the ADHD, just wore us down. The last day was just meltdown after meltdown until finally W said D11 and I could go off on our own so she didn't have to keep waiting for D7.
We have some great pictures from that trip. I remember thinking when we left that it was likely the last one.
That's the danger of thinking too much. Instead of just enjoying the time I kind of wrapped myself up in that thought -- the last family trip.
So I've got to focus on just enjoying today. Then tomorrow. Then the next day. I'll never get Spring Break 2010 back again.
