Life and time continue on&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe escaped to Disney on a trip we planned back in the spring.  It was glorious to have heat, lights and to sleep without a hat and mittens.  It was a whirlwind of activity and we all had a great time.  My moment was on the Mad Hatter&#8217;s Teacup Ride.  Hubby was on the other side of the park to retrieve Fast Passes and my plan was to have the boys do the teacups alone.  I don&#8217;t do Spinny since I turned 40 (somehow, wrinkles make your spin tolerance deteriorate.)  But, my youngest was too young to ride alone, so I was summoned to ride.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe all make sacrifices for our children.
