Hugs & shoogies and taking the first step to Disney...

I love my children dearly, really, I do. But I think I have surpassed my limit of hugs and "shoogies", as Lily calls them. Everytime they see me, it occurs to them that I need some lovin' and they hang on me for a good three or four minutes. I guess it comes from not being with me during the day most of the time, and then suddenly being with me all the time. Both of them are hanging on me as I type. Sam is sucking his fingers and Lily is sucking her bobby. I think summertime is making the sucking habits of my children worse. I guess at school they are distracted from it, but here they are sucking non-stop. All the lovin' is good, I am so thankful for the opportunity to be home with them, but I am wondering if this will go on all summer. I may be burnt out on hugs and shoogies.

I have continued on my productivity run. Although I have been productive on my computer, not in my house. I started by booking a short vacation to Pigeon Forge in July to Dollywood and Splash Country. We are already scheduled to go to the beach in August when Brad has to go for some conference. Then I took the plunge and booked our Disney trip for the week of Thanksgiving. We will be gone 7 days and 6 nights. We are staying at the Disney All-Star Music Resort and I went ahead and made reservations for two character dining experiences. Lunch with all the princesses one day and breakfast with Donald Duck another day. I bought a package that included our room and our tickets and then I added a meal plan that includes one sit down meal, one quick meal, and one snack each day. I am so excited and I have been on the computer non-stop reading about what all there is to do. I want this thing to be planned perfectly so we can gets the most fun for our money. I ordered the Frommer's guide off of Amazon to help me plan and it should be here in a few days. The website says I have 158 days left before my Disney vacation begins. I'm not sure I can wait that long!
