Around my place the thermostat is set at 83 so work clothes are quickly replaced by shorts and t-shirts that read "Relax" and "Exceedingly Cool" the moment I walk through the door. Alex is onto it. She's slipped into kick-back mode and lingers outside a little longer each day. There have been requests for watermelon and popsicles, campfires and smores and of course swimming. Alex's Aunt Bea, who is just two years older than her and slowly moving into our house one long weekend at a time, pulled out the water guns last Sunday that still smell of chlorine and sunscreen.
After Memorial Day there will be 2 more school days left and I will be done with my old elementary school for the second time in my life. Summer is near, and I can't help but reveal in the long, hot, sticky days. Days that stretch passed 8:00 before they end in the blink of an eye. Days that are filled with lemonade and fresh air and long lazy walks in the park. But there are things to be done. I'm not wasting time.

I have emailed our travel agent with an..."um... I'm assuming you just forgot to type this one in your email, but it is really and truly sitting there somewhere on your system..." toned note because that is what I'm really and truly trying to believe. I'm going with that idea for now, and if its false, I really hope she reads that and then spends her day on the phone with the Mouse trying to squeeze us in somehow. I really hope she does that before she emails me back because I would rather have her lie and say.. oops just kidding!... than have her be up front and put me through the agony of uncertain reservation hell. But now, as I'm writing this, I'm thinking I should also call because its been a good 5 minutes and I haven't heard back.
UPDATE: CRISES AVOIDED. She did have the reservations or by some miracle got them today. I didn't ask for details. And I'm leaving in a week... not sure if I will post again before that though...
*** Yes, we use a Disney certified travel agent because I have been to the World so many times that the magic of dealing with Central Reservations and WDW-DINE has warn off. ***

83??? I would be a raving lunatic! We keep it on 77 for day & then turn it down to 72 or so for night. It's the hot flashes :)
Hope your reservation works out!
Katy, I share your love of Summer - I call it going into "the Summer mode" which means being active in the morning (walking, gardening, cleaning, errands) and then doing basically nothing in the hot afternoons. Sitting by the pool reading or watering the garden with a dip here and there - heaven!
It's good to know about Disney World and the need for reservations. I can see us going there one day with our grandson (he's only 15 mo old). Have a wonderful trip and be sure to share when you return.
