First let me introduce everyone.
I am 29 yrs old, will be turing 30 in August. wow that is so hard to believe, I just don't feel my age and never really have. I am sleep tech for sleepmed, the largest sleep company in the U.S. I have been doing sleep for 3 1/2 yrs and love it, though there are times I get very board.
My dh is 40yrs old and is disabled. He was in the navy for 4 yrs and hurt his back. He had back surgury back in 1991. He then went back to work for an a/c plant and reinjured his back in April of 2002. He tried to go back that dec. but was not able to handle the work. He then tried again the end of Jan of 2003 and was still unable to handle the work. He has not work since. That is when I decided to go back to college and now help to support us. My husband is on disablity. We have been threw sooo much since he hurt his back in 2002. At that time we had a 2 yr old and 4 mo old.

Our little characters and oh boy do I mean characters:
DD- 9 and a straight A student which is also in the eagles program for gifted (smart) kids
DS-7 and not the brightest crayon in the box, but we love him anyways, he has cp with a spongy upper body and has been going to speech therapy since he was 2 1/2 yrs old.
DD-4 little ms night owl with an attidute, she will be celebrating her 5th birthday while at the world; we have special ressies at the castle for that night.
DS-7 1/2 mos (10mo at travel time) He is in to everything now

I am so much an ocd planner it is unreal. I get on here at least every other day if not every day. I am soo addicted.

We are going to be arriving at WDW on June 4th and leave the 11th. As of right now I am set to work the 2nd (I work nights) and when I get home, plan to sleep and then get up around 5pm, eat dinner, and then leave for disney. Which would but us in Orlando around 2am, so we plan to check into a hotel off site for the night. We have not told the kids this, as far as they know we are leaving at 4am on thurday morning. I can't wait to see the looks on there faces. We will have them take there baths like any other night, but on there pjs and then when they are all done say "hey lets leave now for disney, who is up for it?"

We will get up and go check at All Star Music Resort that morning and head to then head to the outlets to do a little shopping. My kids have to have a stuffed animal to sleep with and as a surprise I am going to let them pick out an animal there. They are going to pack there animal at home and with out them knowing I am going to unpack it and leave it at home. "Opps mommy must have left it, I guess we will have to get you one."
 
We'll be arriving June 6 - so maybe we'll see ya around! Have a great trip!!!!

57 days to go yeah?? less than 2 months to go
I made mickey tie dyed shirts today for all of use to wear. I can't wait to see what they all look like. I even did one for the baby, which was an 18mo size shirt. It was so tiny. I will post pictures of them once the are done. I may even let the kids try them on since the helped me make them some what and take a picture of them with them on. I am working on a few other shirts that the kids dont know about. I am going to be packing there clothes in to ziploc bags for each day and plan to slip the shirts in there while they are at school. :rolleyes1 My son asked me what are all these shirts for. I have about 3 plain white ones each, a lime green each, and a red one each. I'm so slick. :laundy:
 
I am working on tye dyed mickey shirts and iron on shirts. I have several that I am doing. When I have them done I will try and get some pics taken and post them. I am redoing the tye dyed mickey shirts. The first ones did not come out how I wanted them too. There were very faded and the mickey heads where to big. Hope the next ones come out, but we now have sleep shirts for disney. :rotfl:
 
We'll be there June 4th thru June 13th. We're almost there. Have a Great Trip!:cutie:
 
It is getting close and I am getting so excited. We only have 47 days left. Our mickey mail should come in sometime around next weekend. I have my shopping list for when we get to disney made out, our packing list is made and I am starting to gather things up. I have started a big shopping bag which is now full and have started another which is headed there with goodies. I have our sunscreen, fans, fun goodies for the kiddos for entertainment and all kinds of other things that the tippers have gave me. This board has been such a huge help. Thanks to all for reading. I hope to post lots of pics and info either while at disney or once we get back.
