The current unpleasantness is that it looks like my sister isn't going on this trip to Disney World that we've been planning all year. She "forgot" to ask for the time off even though the tickets have been bought since August (although the trip she recently took to Seattle, planned a week ahead of time, was no PROBLEM) and her boss isn't letting her go.

We're all very disappointed and my mom is extremely upset about it. This is the first family vacation we've taken in awhile, and it's something of a reunion trip-- first trip with Steph in two years, and first trip with Andrew in almost 15 years, and first family trip with Tante Joan in over five. And, most of all, it's Disney World, our special place.

All the excitement and anticipation has gone out of my mom. She speaks of it in a dull, defeated tone. She will not enjoy herself. The trip is pretty spoiled and the horses aren't even out of the gate yet.
