Disney Dream Vacation: Where We're Staying


Welcome to my 2nd post about our Disney Vacation. This post is dedicated to our hotel/condo accommodations. Originally, we were going to get a hotel on resort, like many people do. Either that, or I was going to try to find the cheapest hotel closet to the resort. I am a mama on a budget, after all. But then, a very generous friend offered use of her timeshare. We are staying a total of 5 nights and are paying UNDER $300. Can you believe it? This really helps, because its not just a hotel - its a condo with a kitchen and a washer and dryer. We will be COMFORTABLE. I know I am not the only one who feels cramped and uncomfortable in a hotel room. This way, we get the basic comforts of home while enjoying the most magical vacation. What more could we ask for?

So without further ado -


Vacation Village at Parkway Orlando






Here is the floor plan for the condo.
It sleeps a total of 8 people.



I have dreamed for years about taking my kids to Disney World. This trip is truly a dream for me. To be able to give my children this memory is invaluable, and I will remember it forever.

Watch out for my next post - I will be going over the parks we are visiting and what attractions I am looking most forward to.

Introduction

Mom to Autumn and Lucas. 2008-present Sometimes it feels like the only job I have is mother. Anyone who has done a resume understands the above. :) So where is the balance? For me, as a very single mom, it can be difficult. I work a full time job and come home to take care of two kids, a dog, a house, and a car all on my own. Now if you're a superstar and find no difficulty in accomplishing all of this without being constantly exhausted, please, for the love of all that is holy and good, tell me how! LOL! I find myself questioning my abilities on a daily basis. ● Am I giving enough? ● Am I teaching them enough? ● Am I being too hard on them? ● Am I disciplining them enough? ● Am I a horrible mother for giving them pb&j with applesauce and cheeze its for dinner, because I am too damn tired to cook them a well balanced dinner tonight? .... the list goes on and on. Then... we go to bed [disclaimer: I share my bed with my children. They rarely sleep in their own beds by

The window has closed.

So yesterday my little man was sick. He woke up very early crying and screaming in pain. It got to the point where I felt it best that I take him to the ER. I had tried to get him an appt on Friday, but they only had one right in the middle of my work day. Turns out my little buddy has a sinus infection and a double ear infection. So I stayed home and took care of him yesterday! This blog isn't about lucas being sick, though. As I woke up this morning, holding him in my arms, I felt so sad that I would have to drop him off somewhere else.... for somebody else to play with him. I have missed the window. I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom. And I missed it. Being a single mom, that is pretty much impossible. I want to get out in the Sunshine on a Wednesday at 10 am and take my kids to the park. I want to take them on a hike. I want to do a scavenger hunt with them on a Friday afternoon. I am away from my house from 745am-545/6pm Monday through friday. When we get home I

Watered down.

I haven't had time to write. Or, let's just be honest... I just don't know what to write about. I want to feel inspired to write. One thing that has been weighing heavily on my mind is my ability (or lack thereof) to not care what people think of me. It's always been a problem. I pretend pretty well that I don't care. But I do. It's a flaw I wish I could banish into a black hole. I want to be liked. But I am constantly feeling misunderstood. Which makes me think,  am I misunderstood?  Or am I just unlikable?  I don't really think I am unlikable,  for the record. But it crosses my mind. I have moments of clarity where I say to myself,  "This person does not matter to you. Be yourself. They have no idea who you are." Awesome! But those moments are often after days where I feel like the world is working against me. And I do not like to have negative thoughts. So I think that a lot of what my problem is, and always has been,  is that I am overly sens
