You guys are the BEST



Just taking a break did alot around the house today. Took dad out to eat. We are ok.

Wow, looks like I ought to do some stuff this week for our trip. 2 weeks We could use it now. Dad refusing to come. Doesn't want to leave I wish he would reconsider, but he won't. We plan to burn up our phone lines.

MKY: So glad to see you here and so happy to hear that the trip is still a go! I wish your dad were going too.

I bet you have lots to catch up on. We are now leaving on August 6 for 5 days in Cape Cod, coming home for a soccer tournement and then leaving on the 15th. My head is spinning. Not to mention that this weekend my sister in law is getting married and we are getting our porch redone. I thought vacations were supposed to be peaceful!

 

[mkymouse4ever]

TP2, Yes Dad wants us to go. I think he will be ok. Just take some time. He might like being by himself and having us not fuss over him.

You certainly are crazy, busy. That sounds super fun. Always hear about Cape cod on tv, but never been. Is that far from you? Have a great time. Hard to judge the east coast areas from a map, everything is so much closer. We have to go through miles of corn to get anywhere.

MKY...It does make sense that he would want some time alone. I would probably feel the same way.

Cape Code is about 5 hours away from us. Getting off the island is the problem. We need to drive about 1 hour to get to the ferry,then about 1 1/2 hours on boat, then rest in car. The ride is broken up so not terrible. My parents really wanted to do this and just did it. Told us on Saturday. It is all good, I just really wanted to be able to enjoy the week leading up to our trip with packing and taking it easy. Now it is going to be nutso.

 

[EEyorelover22]

Glad to see you too mky!!
I am glad the trip is on. You need some down time.

TP2: I hope you enjoy Cape Cod. I've been to Nantucket twice...loved it.

DL11 and I went to see the Pooh Movie today. It's cute. Enjoyed it. Now DH And I have to go see Cars this week with our free tickets.

Summer is fading fast for me. I'm excited about your trips, but it means the end for me. I'm afraid to go look at my room...they put in AC I guess and I'm not sure what sort of a mess they left behind.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

TP2, that is a nice trip. drive and boat.

EE22, it will be weird at school with none of your own kids there now. This summer has flown by for you. Sorry. Do the DS & DD leave for school soon?

mky

 

[EEyorelover22]

The time is coming up fast. I think I have about all the things they need...DS's is in the livingroom at the moment. I swaped it out for the luggage in the downstairs room. He leaves Aug 27th. DL11 has her coordinated color ensemble...girls are so differentI finished that up last Sat. She leaves Labor Day weekend. This coming weekend is the last one "off" for me. I will go the first weekend in August to put my room together...I hope and then back at it on the 11th.

It has flown. DH had a full blown meltdown today. He didn't handle last fall well and I don't think this one will be any easier.....it's going to be a whole lot of ugly

I need my DL Chef back. I've been sick since I've been home. I'm thinking soy as I didn't have any while gone.

I hope we can make WDW next year or DL...DH is hooked on DL let me tell you. I don't care...I'll take what I can get!

 

[EEyorelover22]

ps...yes, it will be weird at school this year and QUIET.
although it will take some getting used to...there will be less stress.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Hey EE22,

The weather is one good reason to stick with DL. I know there are supposed to be alot of "locals" there? But, we have talked about it for years. But, bug wants to see alot of california and I just want to go there. Are DS & DD thinking of going again? Or is this gonna be a 2nd honeymoon????

Only way to tell >> don't eat any soy and get it out of your system then eventually try it and see what happens. Although I think they will kick you out of IOWA if your anti - soy???

mky

 

[EEyorelover22]

The weather was amazing and since for now I can only go in the summer...it's a plus over FL. That's why DH liked it and the no driving, but with only he and I it might be different with driving.

DS and DD are thinking of going again, but I'm thinking 1st Honeymoon. We never had onewe had fun when we were by ourselves. DH even went to the Aladdin show with meI was a tad worried but he enjoyed it.

I did the whole soy out of my system and didn't mean to when we went on the trip. Didn't have any at DL...the soy milk bothered me the first day so I dumped it...thought it was the trace of almonds or cocount. I hadn't had any for nearly 2 days when I had that. So for a week I was off of it and now that I'm home and had it in my coffee and in the free of all waffles...having a hard time so I will stay away from it again.

At least I can still eat CORN and BACON! so far.........

One thing we all noticed at DL...not as many people smoke. Very odd.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

corn and bacon on there's a diet I could follow.

 

[EEyorelover22]

Throw in some potatoes and you're me!

 

[tripplanner2]

Okay...so I can use a lot less stress in my life!

I just spent the last 2 days writing a resume and cover letter for the wrong position! I am so shot from school, I guess I should have taken a break but with the trips coming I want this behind me instead of ahead of me.

EE22: You could tell in the pictures that DH was having a better time than normal. He was laughing and not that he did not look happy at DW, he just looked relaxed. Like truely on vacation.

MKY: I am sincerely so happy to see and hear from you. I am sure this trip will be low key, as you planned, but also much needed.

Tomar: I think you come home tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about your trip.

 

[EEyorelover22]

I am sorry TP2. You will look back on this time and wonder how you ever did it I'm sure!

Tomar does come home tomorrow.

I agree 100% TP2...mky and Bug need this trip

 

[tripplanner2]

I am sorry TP2. You will look back on this time and wonder how you ever did it I'm sure!

Tomar does come home tomorrow.

I agree 100% TP2...mky and Bug need this trip

I am an idiot. I wrote them for student teaching placement but I need to be placed for field experience.

 

[EEyorelover22]

Well, look on the up side! You have your student teaching one done Be sure to save it off and it will be done for later. You will probably be busier then and won't have time

I know what you mean though...I hate when I do stuff and I blow a bunch of time that I don't have much of!

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya ladies,

TP2, Oooh Nooooo, Sorry. You do need a break. Try to reset. Maybe through word you can change a few key words?

EE22, But can you put anything on the actual potatoe? Or are you eating them raw? Just kidding.

Tomar, Welcome Home! We missed you. Hope things all worked great, and your rested, relaxed, and if I know you two > super tanned.

Candi, Haven't heard from you, hope everything is ok.
