Tuesday, June 5
I'm sitting at my desk, probably should be cleaning up my desk, but instead, I'm writing this.
Yesterday was our first Spring Concert we've ever had at OLA. Kind of a last minute decision, so I went with the best idea I could.. a Broadway revue. It was a great success and a good time was had by all. I liked the fact that everyone participated. Unlike the talent show where only the talented (and not so talented) get to perform. There are some plans for next year in the works. We'll see how that goes.
Last night, I finally got to use my Kitchen Aide mixer that I got from my sister for Christmas. I made some chocolate chip cookies to bring to the faculty for their help with the Spring Concert.
Two more sleeps until I leave for Walt Disney World. As predicted, this week is flying by. I'm almost done catching up on ALL my laundry (It's been a busy winter/spring) and the suitcase is out and is slowly being filled. I'll leave at 7:00am on Thursday morning, and not return until next Friday. I'll miss the boys, but they will be in Aya's care. Aya loves the boys and I love that she loves the boys as well.
Ben and Leo are quite a pair now. Pretty soon, Leo will have been with us for 2 years. Leo has such the adorable personality, he does realize that he is the "third"in command - Me being first, then Ben - and plays his part well. I often think Ben rolls his eyes at Leo. However, they do play sometimes rough, but its Ben who always dominates, even when Leo is the instigator. They are good kids.
I'm excited about my upcoming trip to Walt Disney World. I'm going with little to no expectations for the week. I'm looking forward to some down time, some quiet time at the resort - Port Orleans Riverside is on a river, and is very peaceful - and some slow times enjoying the theme parks and water parks. While I know it's going to be crazy busy, and I'll get tired of the busses after the first time I have to use them, but I'm going with the mantra so slow down and enjoy.
Wednesday - June 6 - 11:30pm
Well, the time has come. I'm all packed, electronics are charging, books have been selected for the plane ride, and I'm all checked into both the flight and my resort at Walt Disney World. Evidently, with these new-fangled Magic Bands, which I have mine in my possession already - I can walk right to my room when I arrive at the resort. I should get a text message with my room info on it. It's quite amazing, so we'll see if it works. The Magic Band has all my info I'll need for my stay at WDW and it acts as your room key, park ticket, and you can even charge to your room on it. Personally, I avoid charging anything to my room anywhere I go. It's all very exciting.
There is two hours of school tomorrow morning. 9:00am is Kindergarten graduation and at 10:15am or so, the UBER will be arriving at Amy's to pick us up at the airport. It's going to be a fast morning. The plane leaves at 12:40pm and arrives in Orlando at 8:46pm or so. It's a direct flight, and it's United. Hopefully we won't be delayed. If we arrive by 10:00pm, Disney's Magical Express will deliver your luggage to your room - a few hours later, but at least you don't have to worry about it. If we get in after 10:00pm, we are on our own for our luggage. I like the Disney's Magical Express service. You don't have to worry about a thing. Same thing with going home. You check your baggage at your resort and you never see it again until your final destination.
I should go to bed, but it's kinda like Christmas eve and it's very exciting. As long as I get to school by 7:40am, I'm good for the day. Hopefully I'll relax and maybe sleep on the flight.
I'll be blogging from Walt Disney World, either video or written.
