Hey we still get to go! We won't be able to do anything special while we're there , I'm not making any custom close for the girls, but we'll still be able to go!! 
HUGS all around to everyone for this Friday - it's been crazy week for all and I think we need Hugs!!
WE'RE NOT MOVING!!!!!!
More on that later..... but for now we are staying right here in sunny (most of the time!!!) FL!!!
AND I just emailed BSIL and asked her if she ordered the photopass cd yet. Then I casually mentioned that I never altered any of our photos after we entered the card#. Let's see what she has to say about THAT!
and to let you know Mark's family are in my thoughts and prayers Hi all! Just checking in to let you all know I'm alive - and things are fine. Just very tired.
Amanda had a bad battle with allergies after spending most of the holiday weekend outdoors. Kept her home on Tues. but was ok to go back Wednesday. On top of that, I had a "difference of opinion" with one of her nurses and decided to let her go. Long story - won't get into it. But I"ve been short-handed with night coverage; so basically I've doing the night shifts. I hate living like this - the girls are out the door by 7:30am and I'm back in bed by 8am. I've slept the past two mornings away and I feel guilty because NOTHING is getting done. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though - one of my other nurses will take over some of the shifts starting next week, so that will help.
AND - timing is everythingrolleyes
- Lauren and I are doing the Relay for Life this Friday night - walking throughout the night to raise money for breast cancer research. We're setting up tents and camping out at the high school track; my friend and I are chaperoning a team of six girls and at least two have to be walking at all times. So no sleep that night either. WooHoo!
Hope all is well with everyone. I'll try to catch up soon.
Ok so everyone's hands up in the air as we make this roller coaster run. READY!!

You ARE doing something special - you are going on a wonderful vacation with your family. YOU are spending time with them - and that should make it special.
It does sound like lots of fun there!
Are you getting free APs or something like that?
I didn't say much to them, just left and cried at the lake for awhile, then called Jim. He talked me down. I got angry in my hurt and wanted to stay at a hotel instead of at their house, and get a rental car so we could come and go when we wanted to,. Okay Tammie,Okay girls, I so needed a shoulder to cry on last night. Debbie, I almost called you but you are dealing with so much already, and it was later for the rest of you.
We are taking the kids to Texas July 4th, which I am trying to ignore. Not only is my son pretty much gone after that, (boys don't stay in touch, DDIL is controlling and tells stories) but those babies who I have been raising since they were born, 4 1/2 and 2. So I have been trying to ignore the situation for now - that's how I roll. It just hit me last night.
We were planning on coming home Fri, July 10th, but Jim got permission to not pull duty that weekend, so we could come home Sun, July 12th instead. I asked Mark and Lindz how they felt about it last night, and Lindsay told me that she's afraid the longer we stay, the more confusing it will be for the kids. Sad thing is, I know she's right. They live here, and we are half their family. If we all go there together and then stay, they will think we're all staying.
It just hurts me so bad to think that being with my grandbabies could hurt them. I spend more time with them than she does.
This morning, Mark said that 2 more days won't make any difference if we're going to be that hurt, but they are anxious to be on their own. I understand that. Excuse me, we've watched your kids for 4 years, I gave up my job, we gave you a place to live, made some of your payments, I gave up a lot of my business, we're driving a truck 3 long days, and buying plane tickets back, but you can't wait to be done with us?
Okay, we'll be leaving on Friday, thank you very much.
Heck, I'd be doing cartwheels to have someone help me with two small children when I settled into a new place. 
tough weekend here too. Sorry Tammie! Max dislocated his hip. Tim dropped him for the van when we got to the lake. Tough and long weekend for the dog. went to the emergency vet. got some meds that didn't cut the pain for him. Now back to the regular vet. They will tell me if he needs surgery or not. I'm guessing probably yes. We've decided that we won't do it. Hip replacements are not good on small dogs and ten years is a long life. I'm just hoping we can keep him comfortable until it is his time. I know that time is really close though.
