I haven't had a clue as to what to write.
Here is a blog post from September 27, 2010:
I do apologize greatly for not updating as frequently as I did before hand, it's just that I had gone downhill for a bit with life and work and everything in general. I started to miss my Mom, Dad and brother, Shawn so badly that I found myself crying myself to sleep almost every night because of the loneliness that spread through me. But I was fortunate enough to have 4 days off last week that I had surprised my family by coming down.
When I saw the schedule a week or two ago I decided that I was going down..I didn't tell anyone that I was though. So, after getting off of work at 1:30am the previous night before, a Wednesday, I packed some of my belongings into a bag so that when I woke that early morning I could just put it in my car and leave. And that I did, I left around 11:45 but didn't get onto the Turnpike till about 12:25pm ish..only because I got myself lost for some reason, but I would believe it was because I had so much to think about and the excitement that filled me! I drove and drove and stopped twice, once for coffee since I was going to fall asleep (my Mom called me during this time and I had to fib a bit about what I was doing since I wanted to surprise her, saying that I would clean for the remainder of the day..) and the second stop was the wash off all the poor love bugs that got squished across my windshield. I swear I didn't speed! I did about 75 the whole way and I went straight to my Mom's workplace at 2:56pm. It was a fast trip, maybe it was because I was so eager to get home. When I pulled up I kept on thinking of all the scenarios that would play out but the main excitement was when I would see my Mommy! I went straight to the security desk and asked Dolly (the security lady) if she could have my Mom come out, but to not tell her I was there to see her since it was a surprise. So Dolly called my Mom's office and asked her to come out and she was on her way, I hid behind a wall so my Mom wouldn't see me when she got out. I heard the door open and close and her footsteps getting closer and closer and the excitement got closer and closer and as soon as my Mom came into view (she was looking directly at Dolly and not in my direction) I jumped out and said "Boo!" with a Halloween Mickey in my hand and when my Mom turned to look at me, I counted the seconds for a reaction and I counted 1.2 seconds before her eyes widened in surprise and spoke the words "Oh my Gosh!!!!" and that was the best hug ever!!! :) I spent some time with her before she had to go into a meeting.
When I I left I called my Dad and talked to him the entire way home, but we talked about how he needed to get me some stuff whenever he would come to visit me. Of course he had no idea what was going on either! :)
When I pulled up to my house I knocked on the door (still on the phone with my Dad) he had said to me, "Hold on Dom, someone is at the door". So I said "OK" and I waited and waited...and I waited and waited some more...my Dad had obviously put the phone down. Tired of waiting, I took out my house keys and opened the door, I walked straight into his room and said "You couldn't open the door for me?" and I think I surprised him right then and there..I got another great hug!!! :)
After seeing my Dad I wanted to surprise my Grandma, so I drove to her house, when I arrived, I had knocked on her door quickly before opening it. And once I closed the door behind me I heard my Grandma asking who is it, while I ran up the stairs and as I rounded the corner and into her view I said "Boo!" And my Grandma was so surprised! Her eyes got wide and she just kept on repeating over and over and over again, "Oh my Goshhh!!! Dom you are here!!!" and I just felt the love!
Later on in the day, I was messaging my brother, Shawn the entire time through AIM, he had no idea I was even home since he was at class and I didn't want him to know. But when he got home of course he saw my car in the driveway, and when he got into the house he came straight to my room to hug me and say "What are you doing here?!" with a big grin on his face hugging me tight! :)
There was a lot that happened as well but I will let the photos from my visit tell the story.. :)
But may I say that I enjoyed making magical moments today by Pixie Dusting Mother's and their daughters? Oh and that I was asked several times if I was a Princess here at Disney? Yes, it so made my day :)
