Our Grand Gathering Adventure:Surprising the Boys! 9/17 WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!

[mickeystoontown]

Good morning and hugs to you Heather!

I am sorry to hear about Tony's dad. I will definitely have their family in my prayers.

I don't think it sounds insensitive at all for you not to attend the funeral. I think it is a personal decision whether or not a person attends a funeral or not. I hate funerals and everybody close to me knows it. I don't want a funeral at all for myself. I told John to just build a box out of the scraps in the cabinet shop, put me in it, bury me in the backyard and tell everybody I left him. Hope that made you chuckle a little 'cause it sounds like you need a few chuckles.

We'll be here when you get a chance to start the trip report. There's no need to hurry.

Oh wow-I'm so sorry to hear that Heather...I will certainly send my thoughts and prayers out to his family and friends...

I think the way you grieve is a very personal thing...there is no one right way to do it...I think you do what you need to do-you know what's in your heart...

Gosh...don't worry about your TR-we'll all be here when you are able to get back...

Well, it's not morning anymore so Good Afternoon Heather. I have been pokey today. I just had to post on my thread a birthday wish for Austin. It turned out ok. I hope he will like it.

Have a great day. High five the boys for me.

Isn't that from Music Machine or Bullfrogs and Butterflies? I always get them mixed up, but I loved those ALBUMS (we have them on CD now) as a kid. I know that song is familiar. If that's not where it's from, I'll have to figure it out.

I was afraid no one would know!!

I am sorry to hear about Tony's Dad. The loss of a parent, whether expected or not, is always hard. I will be praying for peace, comfort, and understanding for the family as they work through their grief.

I heard it on the movie Kingdom Come. Absolutely hilarious movie.

Just checking in to see how you are doing, you have a lot on your plate!

Yeah, it did go fast. Funny how that works. Matt is excited to go in June because his mom is going. And the rest of my family is not. I'm excited because Harry Potter will be open!

we are excited about that too! June

I'm working on adding borders right now. I went from 20 MK pictures, to 60. I'm not sure why I do this. I added every border possible last time and I've never done anything with the pictures except let them sit on my computer. I'm not adding every border this time, but I am adding some. I have to make my photobook too. I prebought both the CD and the book.

I do that too with the borders..the kids really like copies of those ones so I'm glad I did.

Looking forward to hearing about your trip, when you're ready! take your time.

Thanks for hanging in there with me everyone! I so appreciate seeing your messages every day. I'm trying to get caught up on your TRs in between taking baby steps here.

I'm almost done with my Photopass pictures. I only have one or two of my pictures left to add stuff to, and then I have one "set" of my brothers. It's a much bigger pain to add borders and stuff to his because I don't know what he would want and I'm not adding every single border to every single picture. I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel, though.

I uploaded all the pictures from the first day to my photobucket account tonight. So I should be able to do the first installment soon...notice I said "should"...since I haven't been able to meet any of my other "deadlines" I don't want to make any promises.

I substituted three days last week and so far I've substituted every day this week (tomorrow too). Monday and Tuesday were at an elementary school near the house. Today and tomorrow were/are actually at Will's school which is the first time since he's started at this school at the beginning of last year. It's so much easier to be where he is (though he got really upset this afternoon because I didn't get to "carriders" as early as he usually gets picked up-I was talking to the regular teacher about tomorrow-and his dad parked rather than getting him on the drive-though. I'll make sure he knows I'll be a little late tomorrow).

We didn't have any "activities" tonight, so I thought I might actually get started, but I had to get all of the photos uploaded, and it took a rather long time to do Will's homework today (he had to do some work he didn't finish in class last week). Other than that, I'm really tired (fighting a cold-and not used to working every day), so I've been going to bed at the same time as the boys. Which is VERY early for me! And I haven't had my "evening" computer time.

Hopefully it will be soon though. Thanks again to you all for hanging in. I hope it's worth the wait!

Glad things are fine. Busy is good. We are still waiting patiently.
