Spurrier got a raise so he is staying at SCarolina.

 

[brack]

I dunno, Maybe it is because NONE OF YOU EVER SLEEP!

I sleep even less on the cruise!

 

[brack]

I still haven't even started to pack yet. I am testing my own patience.

 

[brack]

At this rate I don't think we will hit 70k before we leave.

It has been a lot of posting but I don't think we'll make 70K either.

[brack]

It has been a busy day ..... all day long

 

[brack]

We go to Cambridge, Maryland tomorrow to meet with some retired officers

 

[brack]

It's for a Christmas lunch. I hope someone does this for me when I retire. It really is nice to spend time with them.

We have broken with tradition and have started to pack 4 days early. Nothing is in a suitcase yet but we have available:
2 large suitcases
1 extra large suitcase
1 rolling duffle
1 medium suitcase
1 "makeup" bag (medkit bag)

My living room is a mess.

I did finally scrub the potty.

And, thanks to John, I called my Mother.

OK, going to scrub another potty. As soon as I fold some laundry...

DH is still coughing. I wish that he had gone to the doctor. I don't want him to be miserable for the next two weeks.

I am planning on taking the kids to the Dr. tomorrow morning. I hope she tells me that will recover soon. both miserable - lots of screaming and carrying on - ugh.

plus, we are getting the "why are you ignoring me" stuff too. sorry kid too busy!!

 

[elaineteresa]

Don't feel bad I come here for a break!

Amy - please let John know that we are all thinking of him during this difficult time. I hope his mother finds peace and health because it is so hard when they are suffering.

 

[becka]

Well I closed all the suitcases and they are now sitting in our room ready to go. This is such a strange feeling. I am excited, anxious, nervous, worried...all at the same time.

DH went out to pick up some dinner from Applebees. It gives him a chance to check the road conditions before tomorrow morning and we get something to eat that is far better than anything I could make.

The kids are pretty tired so after dinner it will be baths and then bedtime. Amazing Race is new tonight but DH(W) and Brothers & Sisters are both repeats so DH and I might watch some TV we have recorded later tonight.

 

[becka]

I still need to do some clean up here in the living room because we have Parents as Teachers tomorrow night but other than that I think my domestic duties are done for the day.

I need to make a list of things to do tomorrow and Tuesday so I don't forget any of those last minute details.

hey maybe that's why i had the sleep study......

 

[goofyforlife]

I want to keep you all in the loop but hope that it is not too drepressing for you... MIL is going downhill fast. I have just called the priest and he is going to the hospital. The Surgeon said that any type of surgery is out and that once all the medication is stopped and the vent is out it should only be a matter of minutes. I hope this doesn't sound mean, but it is really is for the best, her quality of life recently has not been good, I just wish she didn't have to suffer, that is the hardest part.

I asked John if I should start unpacking and he said to keep packing...so we will see what happens.

sorry to hear about your MIL, Amy. Our thoughts are with you guys...
