In exactly three weeks I will be enjoying my first full day in Disney. I officially arrive in Orlando three weeks from yesterday. I am anxious to get the rest of this month over with. I've had a lot of tiring things take up my time as of late and I know I am destined to hit some more before I get to go away. We have finally finished the entire move of the store, inventory, and the Madden NFL 2006 launch which included a midnight release. We've been getting dvds for the past few days from other stores and that is making it difficult to get everything done. We're all tired and frustrated. I just want these last few weeks to go smoothly and quickly so I can get on that plane and go far away from everyone. One of the biggest things is that I am desperate to get everything packed, but I can't until probably the weekend before I go. I'm still wearing some of the clothes I intend to take with me.

Matthew had his birthday party on Sunday and it was a lot of fun. We had a twenty minute downpour in the middle of everything, but it didn't really dampen anyone's spirits. Matthew ended up getting $365 in Disney Dollars!!! We still have Christmas and other varied holidays from which he can accumulate more money, but it looks like he won't even have to save any money for Disney when we go next June. I am happy to say that we did make our reservations and got the confirmations in the mail. We are officially going. Now Rick, Shannon, and I just have to pay for it. It is likely to be an interesting trip. Matthew's friends Ashley and Steven and their parents are going down at the exact same time. We've made reservations to go see the Hoop-De-Doo Revue with them which should be loads of fun.

My sister has another court date this coming Tuesday. Tom was officially found guilty of child neglect...again. This time it includes both of his new kids. The house was apparently a mess and the inspectors felt he was barely making the minimum standards. Nancy is trying to get a copy of the report before going to court next week. I guess they are pushing for removing matthew from the house and limitting Tom to supervised visitation. I doubt that will happen, but you never know. We have been surprised by the RI court system before...although usually in a negative way.

Anyway, I guess that is all. I just wanted to post a little something before I head off to the gym.
