Insert Clever Title Here...

We have 3 days until we fly out to Orlando.  I'm so excited, but I'm SO stressed out at the same time.  There's so much going on between school and the kids and my personal life.  I feel like freaking out.  I have been freaking out.  Under the surface.  I'm like that proverbial duck.  Sane-ish looking above water, but kicking like hell underneath.  

One reason I'm freaking out because I'm supposed to graduate in May. I'm taking 5 classes this semester.  4 of them pertain to my major and minor and one is French 3.  And in case you didn't know, French is one hard language to learn.  How I got an A in both French 1 & 2 is beyond me!  Four Classes per one semester can drain anyone, I don't know how my BF was able to take 5 for more than one semester at a time.  Oh and did I mention I have a final this week? Oy...

Reason #2 is that I have to pack myself and 3 kids for this huge trip and the kids are on a mini vacation as I type this.  Which means the night they come home, I have to wash and re-pack EVERYTHING.  I have a check list.  I hope I stick to it.  I hope we don't forget anything.  Adam tells me that if we were to forget something, the resort would be able to provide it for us.  I hope so.  I know I'm stressing him out with my worrying.  I try not to, he's got his own things to deal with, but I have always been a worrier.

There are other reasons I won't bore anyone with.  And I know I should "let go and let God." I want to.  It's just hard.  But I'm taking a deep breath and trusting that everything will work out the way it's supposed to.  

I really am excited for Disney World.  I'm excited to see the kids' faces.  I'm excited to be there with the man I love.  I'm excited that we also get to share the experience with his parents.  I'm excited to eat to my hearts content, and wear Minnie Ears, and take pictures with as many characters as I can.  And while I'm on vacation, I will try and leave my worries at home and really enjoy my time away.  This is my first real "get on a plane and go somewhere" vacation I've had in 10 years.  Insane, right?  

As I was typing that last paragraph, I put myself in a better mood.  Maybe I just needed to vent a little.

I hope you all have a great Day.

Guys!

We are going to Disney World!

I have never been more excited in my life.  I cried when I found out, I cried when I told my mom (because she cried, too), and I have been walking around the house with a perma-smile strapped to my face.  To say the kids will have had an awesome summer is an understatement.  The last time we went to Disney, Izzie was 5 and Caleb was 2.  I'm so glad that Jack gets to experience it now.  And everyone is old enough to remember.  The best part is that we're going with the BF's parents.  

We are going for a full week and we get to experience all of the parks.  This is a first for me.  I've been twice before, but I'm going with real Disney fanatics lol.  And to go with people who don't stop for smoke breaks every 5 minutes will be a HUGE plus...but I digress.  My BF is planning everything and dinner reservations have already been made.  I'm so excited to try all the different cuisines.

The look on my boys' faces when we told them was priceless.  Then I had to FaceTime Izzie because she's not here.  She was in shock, too.  I could go on and on, but I'll just stop here.  August can't come fast enough!
