I have so much to tell you. But, I have zero energy. Believe it or not, I’ve been struggling with the worst sore throat I’ve ever had in my life. Three days now. When we went to Disney World, yesterday, I popped one two many Tylenols (or so we think), and I threw up the whole drive home. (Was that TMI?) Among that, the mystery Fringe full-body rashes, and the worst sore throat of all time, I’ve been physically A MESS here in Florida. But, I don’t even care because I’m having a great time.
Without further ado, then, I give you a TASTE of what happened at Disney World yesterday. It was the best part, in my mind — when the Monkey got her hair, makeup and nails did at the “Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique” in Cinderella’s Castle….
Closeup at the beach this afternoon (and more to come)….
I know. WOW. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera when we took the Monkey and her hair to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner tonight. But, I will say, I was a little embarrassed walking around with her — NOT because of her, of course, because she looked beyond ADORABLE, and she was obviously feeling SO good about her li’l self (what more could a mother ask for – fahklempt)! No, I was embarrassed because everyone must have thought *I* did my daughter’s hair like that! Luckily they see lots of Disney Princess around these parts, so many people were bowing down to her highness and enjoying the sight with me.
Off to make some more CHAMOMILE tea. Blech. I hate chamomile tea, but it’s the only herbal tea they seem to have in Florida, and it’s been the only thing giving me any relief…!
This post was inspired by one of my favourite poems of all time: This Is Just to Say, by William Carlos Williams. Because things, just as they are, can be, among other things, errrrm, poetic.

You’re sick because you’re on vacation and you bod is getting rid of all the toxins, they are trying to get out and get some sun!! Aaaaand it doesn’t know what to do because you may actually be having FUN like REAL family long time fun far far away from all the stress/overwork you feel at home. Just a thought!! Have fun. Hope you feel better.

Very cute!
Now I’ve never been to Flordida, but I bet they have doctors. Maybe you should go and see one. This coming from the perpetually sick traveller that rarely goes to a doctor.
Keep having fun!

Sore throat + mystery rash is most likely strep. Get thee to a doctor pronto – it probably won’t go away untreated & can be dangerous.
And Disney? All kinds of awesome!

Oh Honey sounds like strep. It’s been going around. Me and Mikey just finished up the antibiotics. Horrible sore throat and/or rashes. The rash the doctor told us was scarlett fever caused by the strep bacteria so get yourself to the doc ASAP!

Just read you tweets, and Mikey was throwing up too

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. But I am sure that you are loving the sun!!!
We went to DisneyLand last year and my then 4 year old did the same thing…. She told her Dad while I was making her appointment “I think Mommy wants me to be a Princess!!!” She was so cute… They rest of the day she was referred to as The Princess!

SO CUTE!! I’m sorry you’ve been sick. Just FYI–if you’re looking for herbal tea, check out the supertarget. They have a great tazo selection. Sweet orange is the best!! Feel better.

I thought they only had the boutique in downtown Disney…I guess they have another one now. Monkey looks adorable! Make sure to get that throat checked out as soon as you can.
