You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothin'.

"alright april if your not up in 10 mins we are leaving without you. you only have a half an hour to get ready." "what? why didnt you wake me up sooner!" "April this is the 4th time i am waking u up." "Oh."
that is how my morning started. now i am rushing around like a mad woman. ok must pack my toothbrush! shit i forgot to pack those 9 extra shirts i am sure i will need! oooo i have to get dressed. great my hair looks like madusas snakes! ok ok...wash hair. get dressed. pack rest of shit. this i managed to do in 15 mins. which left me 15 more mins to play with persephone before i say goodbye to her yet again.
the baby was up and ready for kisses and play time. i got my happy 15 mins of the baby and then it was time to get going.
aunt maryann, uncle bruno, cousin bruno, claudia, lauren and caila met us at the door. 2 black lincoln town cars took us to newark airport.
nothing really exciting to tell you about the car ride except my mother. i couldnt help but laugh. we werent even at the airport yet and she looked like she wanted to die. she was shaking and taking pills.
we get to the airport and do all that is needed to be done to get on the plane. you even have to take your shoes off now and put them threw the x ray machine.
we had an hour and a half before lift off so aunt maryann takes us to the mecca of the airport the presidential club lounge. all the seats in there were white leather and there was even another room with white leather chairs in stadium form so you could watch TV. the women got starbucks and we lounged there. uncle bruno said this was the only way to travel so you dont have to sit with the rest of the "cattle". nice man isnt he? i thought to myself dont get used to this. when you go to mardi gras you will be the cattle.
mom was in a happy place as we borded the plane. me mom and cousin bruno sat in one isle and claudia and the 2 kids in the other. aunt maryann and uncle bruno in the front of us. the plane ride was pretty uneventful. we watched spiderman 2. i had to listen to my almost 40 year old cousin talk about how cool everquest was. he is such a loser. lol.
we landed with no problems, our luggage was all there so we proceeded to the rental car place. bruno and claudia got a pontiac and we got a malibu. nice deal. course i was not aloud to drive the malibu cuz they refused to put my name on the car. i cant imagine why.
we stayed at the old key west resort. check in was interesting. lauren and caila flew to the little TV in there and claudia and bruno fought. aunt maryann and uncle bruno tried to shut them up and me and mom sat there like we didnt know them all.
we ate lunch at olivias which is a nice restaurant at the old key west. then we went to our rooms. ours was to the left just me and mom which i was thankful for. bruno maryann bruno and claudias rooms on the right.
we relaxed for a little while and mom cried. not for too long and i was expecting she would sooner or later on this trip. disney is where my father got really sick. it was the beginning of the end for him. there 2 week vacation become a month and a half of horror so mom is allowed to cry.
everyone but cousin bruno because he was "sick" went to downtown disney. its a place with all sorts of shops and ice cream places and shit like that. we couldnt really look in the stores because the kids are nuts and just ran right threw them. claudia got up in our shit about taking too long in the store and i shot her an icy glare and she shut the fuck up. that was great!
we ate mcdonalds for dinner and then went back to the room.
by this time i was getting a bit of a nic fit so i told mom i was going to walk to the general store. it wasnt far, right by the check in so she didnt make much noise about it. i had a few smokes and looked at the merchandise in the store and headed back.
this was the first day of my vacation.
