... Neils away tonight in a lovely hotel while I'm running round like a headless chicken

PICS PLZ!

MG....so sorry to hear about your camping adventure from Hell, but happy to know everyone is safe and sound.


Went through 3 bottles of water and 1 bottle of Gatorade this morning already. Don't you know it, the AC broke down in my work car and the township mechanic is off this week. After tomorrow, the high temps are only going to be in the low to mid 80's, so that won't be so bad. Hey, I'm getting to sweat off a few extra pounds this way.............

Walking around this morning was a bit much however, I had to take slow steady breaths as the air is so thick with humidity. It's nice to be home for the next hour in the AC.......

Stay Cool AW.

Ellis got a certificate today for helping on the ground force team at the weekend - he had to stand up infront of the whole school to get it

I didnt get one though, and I did all the work

Good job Ellis!
It's called Motherhood Karen... I used to ask my kids all the time, "What grade did I get"?

Well patrick is off and Mom shed quite a few tears. he looked so grown up in his uniform. I can't talk to him for 5 weeks, yikes I guess I will have to spend more time on here!!!!

Work is so busy- it's summer and I am going on vacation next week so I have to get a lot done before leaving. But I am leaving at 4, have to get back in the swing of the gym.

Well, camping was a bust! It started out nice but on Saturday we had serious tornado warnings so we all had to huddle up in the bathrooms in the main building. They wanted us to tie up our pets outside!! What???
So being the good doggy owner I am, I wanted to fib and tell them that Cabo was a Seeing Eye Dog and being trained so it was NOT an option. Instead, I just sneaked him into the bathroom and ignored the dirty looks I was getting.

A funnel was forming directly over the campground and people were freaking out! Green clouds all over the place!! Tony has video of the funnel forming on his blackberry but has to figure out how to post it first. The funnel dissapated (SP?) before it never touched down though. Horribly high winds and tons of rain. 30 minutes later, we returned to their site only to find 2 of the 5 tents that were pitched. The other three were in a heap two sites away.

We packed up everything left over and headed over to Wisconsin Dells (a popular tourist town about 20 minutes away). We were able to snag a 2 bedroom cottage for under $100.00 from the hotel we usually stay at. They also lost power for about 2 hours themselves with terrible storms. We thought we'd go and get some pizza but the restaurant was closed due to no power. The ONLY place that served food and wasn't jam packed was McDonalds (YUCK)! It'll do in a pinch though.

It stormed all night and we even had another tornado warning! ENOUGH ALREADY!!

We headed home Sunday morning and found a virtually dry basement. What a relief that was for us. BUT, Chuck's sister had 2 feet of water in her basement, Stacy's grandpa had over 4 feet in his and no power, and Chuck's brother had a flooded backyard that was seeping into their garage which houses their new kitchen cabinets while they wait for a kitchen remodel.

More storms are predicted Monday - Wednesday here in SE Wisconsin.

Stay safe everyone! AND....Stay cool!!

sorry about the trip MG.
glad you guys are ok though.
watching the news now and seeing roads being washed away in WI makes us worry about all our WI friends.

have to ask though. ... with storms going through, why was tony picking blackberries??

on your next trip, do what we are doing... from now on cass and rob have agreed to let our little good luck charm KIRA travel with us.

The only pic I have of me headless is this one

I did also tell Ellis to ask his Head if his Mommy could get a certificate too - it might help pad out my c.v. a bit

So, this is what I have to look forward to???

I do enjoy joining in with school stuff. I was a lot more involved in his old schol than I am with this one yet. I'm helping out on funday in a couple of weeks.

Keep up the good work

thanks Heather

Hey can somewone help me here? One of my coworkers is going on the cruise Nov. 22nd. When can he schedule his excursions? It's his first cruise so 75 days out. I've counted but not sure whether I have the exact day or not. I was wondering if there is a website that counts it all out for ya instead of me having to think!
