I keep forgetting things – a board meeting here, a jewelry party for my friend there, packing my special treat in my kindergartener’s lunch. I tell someone I can do something, and then I fail to check my calendar to see if I already have something booked.

And maybe, just maybe, I need a vacation. Which is exactly what I am getting this week.

Between my oldest starting kindergarten and cheerleading which takes two nights a week and Saturday afternoons, my youngest starting gymnastics, and me working full time and starting a Girl Scout Troop, we are all toast.

Track out for my daughter came at the perfect time. She was tired and cranky, and the bedtime ritual was becoming a chore. These three weeks she is tracked out has been her rejuvenating time, and it couldn’t have come one day sooner. The day she tracked out, she caught some virus and was sick with a cough and fever for a week.

So yes, we are on vacation as you are reading this. Maybe I will find my memory somewhere along the Hidden Mickey’s and the all-you-can-eat character buffets. Maybe this little trip to Disney World would have been just what the doctor would have ordered.

Let’s hope so.
