Disney was fun. Not as magical as last year but still fun. I'm not sure what it was that made it less than last year. Could be that nothing can top the first time. Could be that I am usually the one driving the bus so to speak and that wasn't really happening with me in the wheelchair. I felt like more of a spectator than a participant most of the night. Could be that Disney has had some budget cuts and things were really not up to their normal standards and it was noticeable. I think if you don't go much you might not notice the differences but we certainly thought that the quality of just about everything was not up to their usual standards - sad. Nonetheless, we still had fun and my daughter had a blast which is all that really matters.
We are off to New York tomorrow for Thanksgiving and I am really excited. I am looking forward to seeing my mom, watching the parade, eating the Thanksgiving meal -all of it. I am thankful that some family members will not be in attendance this year so there will be no holiday drama for a change. Wish we could take Madison into the city to see the parade but that will have to wait for another year. I am lucky the doctor agreed to let me go at all and I was not about to push my luck. I'm really not up for that anyway and I don't see a wheelchair working out too well for me at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I think it would be like at Disney where I really ended up watching the behinds of all the people standing in front of me - not pretty!! I am hoping to see some friends from high school while I am home and my aunt, uncle and cousins on the weekend. Good times. So thankful for all of them. Thankful for another year of good health. Thankful for this pregnancy. Lots and lots to be thankful for and I'm glad that this time of year makes me stop and count my blessings. I think I am focused more on Thanksgiving than usual. Generally I am busy plotting how I am going to fit in all the decking of the halls, and the shopping and the baking and all things Christmas. This year I'm just not that into Christmas yet. Gasp! If you knew me you would know that this has never happened. I still wake up at about 4am on Christmas morning and can barely contain my excitement. I just want to get everyone up and tear into the presents and just savor every last minute of the day. I love, love, love Christmas but this year not so much - at least not yet. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families.
