So, last week, Emily was in Florida. They left for Orlando around 6am on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 to make the 26-hour bus trip. She had fun taking pictures, all the way down there, and at Disney. They were supposed to get to Orlando around 9am Thursday morning and get to have the whole day at the Magic Kingdom. Emily even rode Space Mountain twice! On Friday, they performed a concert. Since it was the first concert of the season, all the bigwigs were there. I hope they sounded good. Then the rest of the day, they were at Magic Kingdom. On Saturday, they went to Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM). She had fun there, too, and almost rode Tower of Terror, but chickened out at the last minute. Then at 7:30pm, they left for the LONG bus ride home. I was in a panic all day Sunday, because there was bad weather in Missouri and Illinois and we had bad weather here, too, with some snow and wind. Fortunately, they arrived home safe and sound around 8:30pm central time. What she remembers most about Disney, was how nice all the employees were. She said they all were so happy.
This week has been hard, because Emily has been trying to get caught up with stuff she missed and panicking when she checks Edline and sees less than “A’s”. LOL! Then going to bed frustrated because it all seemed so hopeless. So, she is down to just making up a test, that she will get done on Monday, so she is much more relaxed now.
Also, the solo and ensemble music festival is tomorrow. She is doing a flute solo, flute duet, and flute choir. I think she will be very happy when that’s all done, too.
Last night, she used my Tranquil Mint body wash and I heated up a hot pack for her neck with lavender and oatmeal in it, to help her relax. She was so wound up last night. I just felt so bad.
Oh I remember the days when these life situations were total stress… oh to go back there now and survive them with what I know now, huh?
Next time I am stressed can you come pamper me too, that sounds heavenly.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I forgot to check it on my blogoversary, but I don’t think there was anything special posted then, was there? I’m guessing that probably the little box just said something like Today is your blogoversary, and then the next day it just started counting the days again.
I’m wishing you an early Happy Blogoversary, because I’ve hardly had time to keep up with blogging lately. LOL
Sounds like a Emily had a great trip. It must have been fun visiting all those places. Hope she has a wonderful time at the music festival.
