We finally made it home, about 2 a.m. I missed the hotel breakfast this morning! One of my favorite things about holidays is, no cooking. I just can’t get excited about food prep (not that I try).

I had to take my ‘bad’ drug last night. I am taking two types, one by injection daily with minimal side effects and a second weekly by injection (last night was the night) and it takes it’s toll. I had a terrible night and lazy, sleepy day. Chills, aches and flu like symptoms all day.

If I weren’t doing the Nablopomo thing, today would be the day I’d skip posting. I know you didn’t come over here to hear me whine though. Right?

I’ve been going downloading and sorting the holiday pics.

This is one of my favorites (so far)—> it is Lizzy being getting her ‘Libby Du’ at the LibbyLu shop in Downtown Disney. There are loads more to go through.

I am not sure if I like the Libby Lu idea or not. Then again, it might just be because I would have rather poked myself in the eye with a sharp stick, than had a ‘Princess Makeover’ at the same age. BLECH! I did love how much she enjoyed herself though. You could tell that she felt beautiful all day.

We’re in St. George, Utah tonight. As always, we’re several hours behind schedule. This time it’s because, I stopped to shop at outlet malls NOT tire troubles. The kids seemed to enjoy a lazy day on the road. They spent most all of the time watching movies and playing DS.

I took this photo of Lizzy about an hour ago. She was watching the Parent Trap (so was Sam). It struck me how different travel is now. For starters everyone is buckled into a comfy seat. Separate sound systems allow movies for the kids and music for Mr. MK and I. The only music we had as kids was our own singing and the only time we were buckled up was after a game of ‘punch-buggy’ got out of hand and ended up in a fist fight, then we’d be buckled in our own side of the backseat to keep us apart … NOT safe. Ah, the good ole days.

Did you take many family road trips as a kid?

I’ll be doing my NaBloPoMo thingy all during the holiday. I’ll also be twittering the road trip away—> follow me on twitter @ http://twitter.com/mommyknows.

This is our hotel …

Taken with my iPhone.

Just kidding! We’re at a nice suite hotel with complimentary breakfast and supper—> Bonus! However, travelling with Georgia to theme park after theme park is sort of like the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror —> a series of terrifying and unexplicable ups and downs, that send you realing into the dark recesses of parenting toddlers. If anyone ever hears me utter Disney and Georgia in the same sentence again, HIT ME hard.

Today was a HUGE day for me. I started a ‘clinical drug trial’ to treat my MS. For the next 3 years I will give myself 8 injections a week (7 subcutaneous and 1 intramuscular). I spent the day at the hospital learning how to give myself the injections, parting with about 1/2 cup of blood for another ‘clinical trial’ involving genetics and doing all kinds of tests to measure the level of my disease (pretty low I think).

Just look at what I brought home. This is a three months supply. Value $12500.00—> good thing it was free. I have to keep it all in the fridge, the pharmaceutical company is supposed to bring a ‘fridge lock box’ tomorrow, mostly so Dennis the Menace Georgia won’t get into my stash. They would be deadly for little people.

I’ve never given myself any sort of needle, except for the time in ‘year one’ (about 7th grade) when I pierced my ears with a sewing needle during a math lesson at Dubai College (really attentive teacher). However, giving myself the first two shots turned out to be easy … really, really easy. I’m good … really, really good.

I am relieved giving the injections was so easy. Now I am hoping the side effects are minimum. I am taking 2 drugs, both currently used to treat MS, just not together. One or the other maybe a placebo, but I am guaranteed one drug that works. Both have a BIG looooong list of side effects—> some pretty nasty. So far, so good.

I’ll keep you posted.

I know this has been done before, but not with my lovely-mug. Anyway, whoever said it was all going to be original?

It’s either this:

1. 1996, 2. 1994, 3. 1964, 4. 1990, 5. 1974, 6. 1950

Or … I’ll have to tell you all about my day of house cleaning. How after more than a month, I finally got down on my hands and knees and cleaned the baseboards, how I move the sofa’s to vacuum, and even wiped down the legs of the kitchen chairs. Boring eh? Just enjoy the photos.

Which haircut do you think that I actually sported at one time?
