I survived!!
So, I survived the trip to Florida..yay!! I must say it was a lil better this time..minus the heat and my sunburn!! There were a few hiccups but I just did my best to ignore all things that would normally urk me!! I finally realized that I can have fun no matter what's going on around me! Here's a perfect example...on this trip, we had two lil ones who still require afternoon naps! So, I suggested that we go to the parks later in the day after naptime and when the sun had gone down so the kids wouldn't be so cranky and hot. Well, that morning, my SIL changes the plans and say we should go in the morning time...well, can you say bad move for her! Her 1yr old's naptime is at noon and we didn't leave the rooms until 11ish!! Complete meltdown after about 30 minutes in the park! SIL got so frustrated because she wanted to ride rollercoasters but the baby didn't want to be with anyone but her! Her and her mom (the univited guest) started complaining and griping about not having any fun..but come on, seriously, what did she expect? A 1yr old + heat+ no nap= one unhappy child!! All I could do was think we should have stuck to the original plan!! Now normally, all that complaining would put me in a bad headspace but I decided that me and my lil family were going to have fun! So, we just let them leave the park and we stayed to let my lil one have some fun!! We had a blast!!
