Breakfast with Cinderella and the princesses has been scheduled.
Tickets purchased.
Room booked.
But, as I laid my head on the pillow each night, I realized my heart was racing... and I quickly move into "freak out" mode.
What the HECK am I thinking? ... a toddler (Monkey sees, Monkey goes... matters not if Mama knows), a Kindergartner, a walker, bags, water bottles, princess dresses and a 2 pound camera... there is NO possible way I could even go 1 block. NO POSSIBLE WAY!
I realized quickly I am going to need a nanny. Taking my hubby wasn't an option this trip. Taking my oldest daughter wasn't an option because she would miss too much college. What could I do?
I have a triple stroller... but, that isn't going to work because it is gigantic and impossible to maneuver when tired, hungry and just wanting to go home... nor would I trust someone else to cart my $400+ stroller around in between flights for me.
Earlier this week, I realized what I needed to do... I needed to buy a small double stroller, with a large luggage space, drink holders, and a way to "carry" the walker... I am pleased to say, I found one on Craigslist... and was able to get it for about $150 less than the retail price.
I bought it Saturday AM while Jason was out of town. Then, I prayed: "Lord, please prepare Jason's heart for this... I know he doesn't want me spending any extra money; nor does he want another thing in the house."
But, I had a plan now... and, I need it to work!
Well, God prepared him.
On Sunday AM, his plane arrived at the airport. He texted me: "landed" (code word for leave now and go get him at the airport)... so, the girls and I started driving to get him. We were so excited to finally get to see him.
Mind you (this is a whole other story)... I noticed his car was NOT in the driveway... but, didn't put two and two together that he was going to be driving himself home.
While I was driving, he sent me this photo below saying: "Much better double stroller"... meaning: "You really need a double stroller right now... not a triple." The funny thing, we had never discussed this and he had NO IDEA I had already bought a stroller 24 hours earlier... but, remember, I had prayed... and God honored it!
Here's what Jason felt I needed.
Here's what I had purchased about 24 hours earlier than his photo... without ever discussing this...
Her name is "Nanny!"
She will be assisting me in Disney World with 2 of my princesses.
Oh, and to finish my story about driving to the airport... we arrived as he texted... "Driving home now... see you in 45 minutes."
We got to drive for 1 1/2 hours to pick him up and bring him home... but, it didn't quite work out as we had planned. Maybe next time I will think more about why his car WASN'T in the driveway.
