Okay its just my luck that illness is going around our town like crazy... Everyone I talk to is sick or has a sick kid... Lovely!!

Then....

Connor tells me his throat hurts and he needs a doctor.!! Doesn't he know its Sunday and tomorrow is labor day and Tuesday is his first day of school.??

William had either milk/dairy or go ahold of some juice because his poor behind is so raw he cant sit down...

Well I have to just say this once! No one is allowed to be sick or get me sick for our trip so they have about 2 weeks to get this over with and get better.!!

Hope everyone else is healthy!!

I pulled out the suitcases today... Put the luggage tags on them and packed the tolietry bag... (THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF) and I haven't even got to the clothes yet. Those will come in the next 2 weeks. Does anyone ever just put a few outfits their toothbrush in a bag and go? If so I want to meet them. I wonder how we are going to fit everything I will have to got through my list a few times and see what I can eliminate, its hard because I need all the stuff... ("What if"). SO far we have a 27 in. Suitcase, and two 24 in. suitcases plus a carry-on size duffle bag for all the toiletries. If I need one I can get a 21 in. suitcase too. (Should I remind you all that its just me and DH with the kids.. 6,3 and 21 months. ... So they wont be alot of help) I think we have nixed the idea of bringing the jogging stroller although it would be a HUGE help!!! just getting it to the plane and resort would be difficult.. plus 1. since there isn't a ton of space in our room what would we do with it? and 2. we getting on and off the busses one sdult needs to hold on to the two boys and one needs to break down the double and carry it on. (it would just be difficult). I will miss it though I love how easy it is to push.

Anyone want to share with me their entire packing list so I don't feel like I am alone? I seriously think I am taking everything!!! Once I get my list finished I will post it.

The kids are feeling better... (Thanks) I hope they stay that way, I am hooked on the weather channel to make sure no hurricane is going to spoil the fun.. however, I am more worried about it delaying the flights than spoiling the fun, a little rain never hurts. :0

If it will make you feel better my packing lists prints out to be 8 pages . I have it posted on my ptr if you would like to see it. I know the feeling you dont want to need something and not have it but you dont want to take extra stuff thats not neccessary. hard decisions!

I'm glad you're back!

That's great that everyone is feeling better. Since I live in South Florida I stalk the tropics in Sept & Oct and it looks like Sept is going to stay calm. I am crossing my fingers for all of us.

I will try to have no typos this time... Sorry, this laptop is really sensitive. LOL!

So today was little man's first day of Pre-K. He was so excited and stood in line to go in class and walked in like a little man, Me however was a little shocked! I mean where were the tears? The leg holding, the "Mommy, home"?? None of this was done by him now on the inside of me all of this was going on!!

Then after dinner we took the kids for Ice-cream (I got a Dunkin Donuts Coffee instead) and on the way there my daughter tells her friend that I am going to Hawaii... She got this idea after taking the kids to the Cleveland Natural History Museum and showing her a huge globe that had hawaii right in front of us, we told her that Mommy and Daddy were going to go there one day without the kids.. Since I have the luggage out she thinks we are going soon.

I am changing my name to the Queen of Changing the mind... I packed our food box it weighs 30 pounds.. Don't worry its not all food, a good portion of the weight is Silk Soy Milk boxes... We will ship is at weeks end! And order the water.

DH is finally showing a slight interest in helping me pack and get ready... too bad its just a slight interest. Hopefully it will increase in the near future, I mean we leave in 2 weeks. (I love saying that).

I get my Hair done on Friday.. I am debating on getting my nails done too. we will see.
