I just got off the phone with my mom, one of my brothers old roommates was just killed in Afghanistan so I need to go.

I'm so sorry Shawna.

Well ladies as usual I have a stack of work on my desk, so back to the salt mine!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Shoot Alex,

I totally spaced and keep meaning to ask you. Its been FOREVER since I've flown with the kids. Over 4 years.

Do I need any sort of ID for them? Copies of birth certificates? Do I need state copies or just my copies? Did they even ask for them? I remember as babies I had to provide copies but I'm not sure if that was because they flew for free.

Nope, nothin' for the kiddos unless you're taking them out of the country.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Nope, no ID required...unless of course their name happens to be on the terrorist no-fly list...in which case doesn't matter how much ID you have...they're not going anywhere but on Greyhound.

Oh, right. I forgot that small detail...

Not exactly true; there's a name either the same or similar to DS4's on the no-fly list, so we went through a big hassle several times. Basically I just needed to provide his birthdate, and let them get a good look at my then-2yo rolleyes: ) to prove that he couldn't be the person they were looking for.

(My mom laughed and joked, "They know about him already???" )

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Dang it, I'll have to catch up later. It's time to go get the bigger booger...

Note to self ~ ALEX: Start back on page 30!

I believe I'm having a mid-life crisis. SERIOUSLY!

really Seriously!

I have this overwhelming desire to hop on an airplane and go to Vegas, find a 25yo cabana boy (can't print the rest here!) and just leave my DH & kids. I want to be young and free, I want to wear a mini-skirt and not look like my mother, I want to be one of Hef's girlfriends and I don't want to clean another toilet or do another load of laundry for as long as I live.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

No fair scones!! YUCK!! Even my husband wont eat them, and he isnt exactly picky.

That is just soooo wrong.

So I guess I should be happy today...my boss leased a 2008 Mercedes CLK convertible for 2 years. He really doesn't like the car, but can't get out of the lease. So, he's working on getting a new car and he said that I could have the convertible to drive for the remainder of the lease (about 22 months!). Anyway, it looks like this, but it's red. I should be ecstatic right...who in their right mind wouldn't. But I just have so much crap going on in my head right now that it's sort of clouding up the excitement. I mean really, isn't this just the sort of car that someone going thru a midlife crisis NEEDS!

Hey, you're too young for a midlife crisis! Get in line!

If you don't want that convertible, I'll take it off your hands for 22 months...

 

[Alex2kMommy]

I associate Lincolns with old people. Or just big sturdy cars in general. I think you are okay with a Mercedes.

My dad had a big boat of a Lincoln convertible: "What? It's a classic!"

I could definitely do a Mercedes. But then again I'm older than Sam.

Sam is dreaming of putting some air under that car.......

Awwww, Shawna.

Thank goodness you're here! I thought I either drove everyone away, or have been talking to myself for the past two pages and didn't know it.

 

[Mkgaapril]

I am still waiting on the little ones to be picked up....I am considering giving them a bath and tossing them in one of the beds shortly...things did not go well for my friends mom today so its hard telling when they will get here or if they will

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Dang it, I just got caught up and now DH is home.

And I suppose, since it's our 15th anniversary and all, I should go say hello.

See ya, Gina.

PS. Sorry to hear about the grandmother's surgery not going well. Is she going to be OK? I hope so...

 

[Mkgaapril]

bye

My vote: If it's their bedtime, put them to bed. Get them outta your hair!

Besides, when your friend comes , if she comes, she may want to talk and you wouldn't want the kids underfoot, it sounds like. Worst case is the parents need to carry the kids out to the car, right? They'll probably be grateful for a little quiet.
