Well, tomorrow's the big day! I am very excited to be going on a trip but am kind of mad because it has the underlying fear of this stupid flu that is running rampant. I considered not going when I found out there was a confirmed case in Nevada, but then I started doing some serious soul searching. There may be cases here in Washington that just haven't been found yet and by the looks of things, it is inching it's way up toward us anyway. All of the states below us (except Oregon-so far) have had an outbreak and it's only a matter of time until it's in our safe little state as well. Why miss a perfectly good vacation? So, I've decided that I'm just making myself sick by dwelling on it and watching all of the news casts, that I need to just calm down a bit. I'm going to try not to obsess over it and leave my television off tonight and tomorrow morning :-) Easier said than done of course. The only positive thing I can say regarding this mess is that it's kept me from thinking about my fear of flying!
I am happy that I will be enjoying very nice weather tomorrow at this time though so I will run with that. Most of my packing is done so I don't have to worry about cramming that in tonight after middle school registration and a baseball game. I haven't packed so many shorts and tank tops in a long time! I did feel bad for Alyssa last night though...she thought we were leaving next week, not tomorrow. She started to cry because she didn't realize it was so soon. Poor girl. Hopefully it will go quickly for them because I know it certainly will for me.
Well, for anyone reading this, I will post pictures when I get back and tell you about the great time had by all. :-) Until then!!

Have Fun! Don't worry about getting sick. This flu is really no different than any other flu (other than the media has gotten a hold of this and run WAY too much with it) and yup, there are already confirmed cases in WA. So I say hit Vegas and have a BLAST! And just use common sense washing your hands often and stay away from those who are coughing and hacking! Normal cold and flu season stuff!!! Ahhh, warmth :)
Don't worry about the flu...We are leaving for a week at Disney World...
I enjoyed reading your blog today. I am still new to the land of blog, but so loving reading others stories. Everyone has a story and so many of them are so touching....
Hope you will stop by for a visit.
The May give-away has started and this month there will be 10 winners. I will be blogging from Disney World soon...
