My Uneventful Life Is Getting Disrupted

Nothing is going on within my little 4 person Wheeler clan but things are going on within my life that is disrupting the very routine ho hum existance of mine.

I mean...have you ever literally been speechless...have your gaw completely come unhinged and drop like a cartoon characeter, a little bit of drool forming in the corner of your mouth due it hanging open for a little too long, brain frozen completely void of anything at all due to complete and utter shock and you literally have to force yourself back into consciousness? Well, that happened to me today. If I had been standing I would have honest to goodness fallen on my face and probably would not have felt it because I was in such shock.

Let me say that everyone is okay...nobody was in a terrible accident or anything like that....just shocking news. The very odd thing is I don't know how to feel about it....am I happy, and I pissed (I normally do not use that word but I have felt that emotion...one of many in the past few hours.) how do I feel????

I can't disclose exactly what the news is quite yet but I thought that sitting down to blog would help me work out some of my feelings and thoughts.

Oh well....maybe a goodnight's sleep will help me digest this issue.

Later Gaters!

Disney World!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so very excited about our vacation to Disney World tomorrow!!!!!!!!! I am going to be in picture taking paradise!!!!!! This is our first "real" vacation....um.....EVER as a family. My kids have only stayed in a hotel once before for one night for a wedding. It appears that the hotel is the part they are most excited about at this point. Oh, and Sam is thrilled that we ride the tram.

I really dread the long ride but by this time tomorrow that part will be over and the fun can begin!!!!!!!

Our plan is to get to Orlando tomorrow, get checked in and just chill by the pool for the rest of the day. We have park hopper tickets and will hit the parks Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then we are going to either come home OR........depending on how the kids are doing and the amount of fun money we have left over we may drive to a beach, get a cheap room and bum around for a couple more days. Yippppeeee!!!! I love playing things by ear and not having concrete plans....just winging it. :-)

I Sit Here....With No Motivation

I am sitting at home on a beautiful Saturday afternoon blogging. I am surrounded by a house that is messy, clothes that need to be put away, beds that need to be made, dishes that need to be washed, floors that desperately need to be swept and scrubbed, every surface is covered in a layer of dust that is quietly but persistantly whispering my name, my dog stinks and really needs a bath, a grocery list and menu needs to be written, groceries need to be bought, a vacation packing list needs to be made, vacation items need to be bought, Disney maps need to be studied, a basic game plan of our vacation days needs to be created, pictures need to be printed and backups need to be made, I am not caught up at work and I really needed to go into the office today, I need to take a shower...............................yet I do nothing, nothing, nothing at all..........

I am blogging....wasting time.....cannot get motivated to do anything at all. I have a big fat case of the blahs or "I don't give a craps"....whatever.

Sometimes a Great Picture Can Be Found Inside Another One

I really love pictures....especially when I can find a great picture inside a great picture....or a great picture inside one that I looked over 50 times. Two for the price of one is AWESOME. When I took this picture of Riley I scanned right passed it because she was standing in the sun and it just looked drab. On like the 51st time I was looking at the Easter pictures I realized I loved this picture as a whole once I adjusted the color a little but I also LOVED and wanted to focus on her cross necklace. With it being Easter morning the significance of the cross was more important to me. She folded her little hands in this way completely on her own and I loved that too!!!! The fact that her Great Grandma Wheeler gave her this neclace was the icing on the cake. :-)

I just love both of these pictures.
