Fine Arts, Disney World and Daytona Beach

So here is my excuse for not posting. I was on my much needed trip to Orlando for Fine Arts, and though we were in the hotel at night and in the mornings, we were all so drained or rushing around to leave again, that I had no time to do much more than a FB update. So here I am again. Returned home, sun burnt and exhausted, from my trip yesterday evening. I did some tax free shopping with my cousin and had some yummy dinner.

The trip was awesome. I wasn't sure how it would go, considering I am not close to the people I went with and considering I was sick, and turns out got sicker lol

Here's the run down of the week. We drove to Macon, GA Sunday and spent the night there. Then we left bright and early Monday morning to arrive in Orlando at approximately 1pm (EST) for lunch, checkin at the hotel, walmart run, and then we had some time to get ready to go to the Opening Service and then ate a very very late (1030pm late) dinner at IHOP after service was over. We got up early Tuesday and went to compete, we had a quick lunch in the convention center, competed some more, ran all over the place to make it on time for everyone's competitions, and then went to the hotel to relax a but before having a yummy dinner at Olive Garden . We relaxed and swam at the pool and just had some fun. Wednesday, we had competitions, a nice lunch at Golden Corral and then went to compete some more, went to the hotel to ready for the service and then they went to service. I ended up staying at the hotel for Wed night service and late night dinner, cause I had some stomach bug and was pretty miserable. Thursday we got up and went to Disney World. We were there for 12 hours!! It was a great day, albeit hot and I was still a bit sick from various issues. I still smiled and had a good time though!! :) We all crashed as soon as we got back late Thursday night. Friday we were able to sleep in a bit, then we went to Daytona Beach. That was all fun till some of us, especially myself, realized how burnt we were, and then 30 mins before we were scheduled to leave, one of our guys broke his leg on his sand board. They took him to the hospital, got a cast and all that, then we headed back to Orlando. Poor guy was miserable. :( I was so burnt that night that I didn't go to service, and many others didn't go either. It was a good lazy night, but I did have a fever and the shakes from the sun burn. I managed though. We all got up at like 430 am and packed up and we left the Sunshine State about 6am (EST) and headed home. We stopped about every two hours, including breakfast and a yummy Mexican lunch in Macon, GA. Those of us in my van slept 80% of the way coming back home, so overall it went pretty fast for us. I think total driving time when you cut out time for lunch, breakfast, gas, and potty breaks, was only 9/9.5 hours or so. It wasn't a bad trip at all.

So there is my week people. I finish my last two days at my current nanny job tomorrow and tuesday, then Wednesday, I go to work for my new family as their nanny. It will be a sad, joyous, busy, and exciting week. I am making lots of new changes these next few weeks and months, but I am making them for me and noone else.

I am not sure where things stand with Army Boy or what will be, but I know what I can do to better myself.
