I am planning on reopening the big ole pit in my back yard for my DH. I am not sure who is suffering the effects of his caffeine withdrawal more, him or me.
Hard to tell who in the house was looking forward to my business trip this week, DD, me, or DH. Things have been more trying than the norm, I was looking forward to a little break. Figured I would leave for the airport about 45 minutes earlier, as soon as DD's helper arrived at the house. Wouldn't you know she was a bit tardy, happens whenever it sn@ws, she doesn't warm up her car in advance. Okay, I go over everything I need to with her, get suitcase and briefcase into the car.....No Flipping keys!!!!!
My car keys were no where to be found. I call DH to see if he knows where my keys might be, ohh no. My brother offers his Land Rover for me to use, good thing I can drive a standard. Out in the Sn@w I drudge, down the driveway, across the field to DB's house, halfway there, DD's helper yells, she found my keys. Well, she didn't really find them, DH called the house stating he has my keys and perhaps his are in one of his coats at home.
Good thing he didn't have both sets. 
Off I head to the airport, dodging people driving too fast in the sn@w, ripped off two nails to the quik getting suitcase out of the car. I got to the airport and thru security, then two more additional purse searches at the gate. There were seven additional TSA agents at our gate. Don't know what that was all about. I ordered a caramel ice coffee, took two advil, and sat down to DIS, only to not be able to find the DAILY GRIND.
After the icky morning that was just too much.But I am here, safe and sound, did a little retail therapy
bought a gorgeous (and comfie) pair of dress boots, a white dress shirt, and a blue blazer dirt cheap. The therapy must have work because I relented and called DH to let him know I arrived safe and sound.
.
I'm waiting!!!!
hang in there.
So sorry Rebecca! P&PD for her and your fam
