Good Afternoon!
Wendy, 
for the OPEN HOUSE today! And for the abs!!
MommyP, such cute stuff you are making. You are a sewing "machine" these days, LOL!
Pumba, prayers for your baby
Smidgy, yikes on you too being locked out. Well, I dont have any problems with pads, we have old fashioned locks. BUT I need a spare key (for the house and for my car)
BH, that latest pic is PERFECT for the Peeps thread!
Mony, you snuck in on me, YAY for the new carpet and the Craiglist score!
Lexi, your house is nothing compared to mine at the moment, I'm sure. Suitecases and bags and stuff all over the place. Need a pair of shiny patent leather military dress shoes? Right here on the living room chair!
A pull-along cooler? Right by the fireplace! A caddy with kitchen tools? On the coffee table! right next to a lint roller and a big old German Beer Stein. A pair of navy blue dress pants? Right over there on the kitchen chair
But sadly, that will all be gone in a few short hours
Wow, people got up early today. I did too (for me for a weekend) Crack of 9 am, so I could go to breakfast with the family (sans DD) and FIL. Went to IHOP and had the most HORRIBLE service ever! It took literally almost 40 minutes to get food! Good thing we were not there to eat, just to visit with grandpa.
DS is off now to pick up his new(ish) car (again!). Turns out it wasnt the compressor after all that cause the A?C to die, just some valve something. And the moonroof and lock problems were due to an "uninitiated"(?) key the former owner apparently hadn't used. Still, DS lost several hours of his days off due to this. GRRRRRRRRRR!
So now my next worry is having BOTH my kids driving to Texas and getting there by Sunday night

That's an 18 hour drive without stops! Scares the daylights out of me! Last night I looked up St. Christopher (Saint of the travellers) online, and the only thing I could come up with on short notice was a small picture of him carrying by Jesus on his shoulder through a river. It was in color even. So I went to print out 2 copies of a 3 page article just to get 2 little 1x1 1/2 pictures (which came out black and white, GRRRR!). Anyway, I cut them out, slapped a return maling label on the back, and wrote our home phone number under that. I gave 1 to each of the kids and told them to put them in their wallets, and dont give me any lip! DS was good. I only got slight grumblimg from DD (what does it have that my driver's license doesnt?) Well, our PHONE NUMBER, for one

Anyway, I think she put it in her wallet.

Now, I am not ordinarily a religious person, so that was kind of out of the oridinary for me.
DH just informed me that he sees no issues with them driving all the way straight through and maybe catchiing a couple hours sleep at a reststop.
I'm going to be a wreck till they get there
