I should be packing.

Or cleaning. Or getting ready. Or going to the bank. Or getting some coffee. There certainly are a number of things I should be doing right now, but I'm finding it hard to just walk away from the soft glow of the computer and live in the real world. I'm about to get a pretty big dose of reality in just a little while when I leave here with my brother, my nephews (8, 5 yrs. old), and my niece (3 yrs. old). We're off to the most magical place in the universe - the happiest place on Earth (hey - I've been fed that since birth). Yep - Disneyland! I'm sure I'll get more excited as we get closer, but right now I find myself nothing but nervous and doubtful. Can I handle my family for 4 days? Can I handle kids for 4 days (straight)? Sure, all three of those kids have me wrapped around their little fingers, but still. 4 days? With no place for peace and quiet. *channels patience*

Tonight I'm taking my niece to Build-a-Bear. She can make anything she wants. Oh, and my dad is meeting us on Friday at some point.

As one can imagine, I'll probably be nowhere near a computer. I mean, I'm taking my work laptop, but it's mostly to work on a report any time I get a minute (if I can somehow manage that).

So, my loves, I'm out for the weekend. I hope you all have lots of fun and I'm sure there will be pictures upon my return. The camera's memory card is empty and the extra batteries are ready to go.
