We can comfortable sleep the 6 of us!!
Hmm Matt, I feel for you buddy. Just note how excited she is to be heading to the beach WITHOUT you! Perhaps the last vacation was too much time together??!! LOL
WOW! That happened to me too.
I thought we should move. I was restless where we were. Loved the house. Loved the neighbors. Loved our friends. Loved our church. There were no problems. I just felt like we should move.
I cleaned out cabinets and closets like you said. I hate yard sales so I took bags of things to my homecare clients and invited them to help themselves. "Jan's roving yard sale" but all items were free.
We did not move right away, but when we finally moved I had gotten so much done, it was easier to pack, sort and pitch.
Good luck with this!

you said 6 kids???? okay I've got just the ones for you, start up there and head my way for +2 then a bit further south, oh well you may as well grab gaylean's and lisa's they are small you can hold 8 right?
Does your MH have room for 4 more? We're there! Not so sure our van and tent trailer would make that long of trek together. V would love having us all crash in her yard for a while, right V?!
Tyler's first day of the summer child care program through his school district was yesterday. The school also provides FREE breakfast AND lunch to ALL kids for the summer!Way cool! Sure cuts down on my grocery bill.
Well I've got a bottle here just waiting for someone to share it with!
Hey....that reminds me. We had a bottle at dinner one night and didn't finish it, they saved it for us but we never got it back (well, never asked for it either)! AND the night we opened it was a night you weren't at dinner, because I was going to send a glass over to you.
Yeah...what DID happen to that bottle, I wonder????
NO....I wouldn't laugh at you (Peg might). Well, the dumping out the purse moment may have gotten a chuckle out of me.
Phone never did turn up. I got my new one today and have it set up.
We got advised yesterday that they are 'freezing' our retirement fund (with modest cost of living increases to be applied each year). BUT, they are increasing our 401K match to $ for $ instead of 50 cents on the dollar for an up to 5% contribution. There was an interesting note that 30% of the employees do NOT (currently) use the 401K...and this is a hugh Fortune500 company. That really surprised me. Not saving something in a company match 401K is like turning away free money!

I somehow missed this before, but this is a great idea! Since I should get an extra day of freedom this weekend, I think I might try to start doing something similar. I need to start with my kitchen because there's too much stuff that falls out when I open a cupboard door.Mostly too many plastic reusable containers & cups that have accumulated.
Sorry about your phone.You are welcome to borrow my Tag
I took Tom's phone swimming at Quiet Cove Pool. After three weeks of drying it was still not right. We put his memory into my phone and now I have a Raspberry. I did not want a Raspberry, I just wanted a phone, but I am learning the stuff faster than I expected and enjoying it.
I also got water in the underwater digital camera. Not good. We bought a new camera from Shutters by the same company to use for Panama Canal Day. I did not want to touch it for fear I would damage it. Tom had a ball running around taking pictures. I staked a claim to a piece of railing on Deck 4 Starboard under the first lifeboat. Would that be Life Boat 1? We are going to send the camera off to be fixed.

Great stories! Make me feel better!
Anyone else see their photos on here and think 'that's it I'm on a diet from NOW'!!!?
(the banana is for the .1... and it's a FRUIT... so it's good too!!!) Our terminally ill neighbour is coming home from hospital today. His wife said she didn't want a hospice, so our UK Cancer nursing service - Macmillans are going to be looking after him overnight. When we went on holiday just 5 weeks ago he was fine.
The kids and I are thinking of Father's Day plans.
Here are the ideas in the hopper (random order) :
Indy Movie
Day at the Beach (Half Moon Bay)
Hooters for wings and Gin & Tonic (for Paul) rum something for me
The kids are drawing him a picture of a big screen tv (wall mount) but since he bought the go-kart trailer it's just gonna be a picture for now
Duct tape wallet (got an email from Family Fun magazine)
Breakfast of some sort that we make for him, most likely Dutch Babies
That is the list I think we most likely will do them all, but it will depend on energy that day.
Yeah, it's called the "Runner's Package" because as soon as they see you doing it you'll be running from security!
It's a special Disney price of only $4500 which includes:
Parking (extra charge of $9.00)
Offciate (extra charge of $150)
1 night stay in Disney jail (extra charge of $200, plus tip)
Wedding photograph posted around the park for all security employees to see ($100)
A greeting with Mickey Mouse where he punches you in the gut and tells you "Hi ya pal! Get off my property!" (extra charge for medical expenses)
Cheri I am completely disappointed.
I went for a walk yesterday around our River front trail. It reminded me of getting up and walking around the decks on the ship.
Oh look it's the Gatun Lake!
Ooops nope that's just the Quesnel River...
The disappointment came when I didn't run into you along the trail, like I usually did on the deck. And DrHug wasn't at any of the prime photo taking places along the walk either. And Nan, Gaylean and Steph weren't down by the pool. Come to think of it there wasn't even a pool!!! Matt and Jill were no where to be found needing a pic to be taken of them together.
However, my alarm clock went off and I had to go pick the kids up from the kids club (daycare) earlier than I wanted ... That seemed really familiar!
I know you guys never met my Gretchen (11 year old) but she is such a great kid. Tonight was her 6th grade graduation. She was awarded the Principal Award.....Best Overall Kid at the School. They pick one girl and one boy. It was really funny the reactions of the other parents. It was weird.
Anyway, she is so sad because her elementary splits up to 3 middle schools..and she feels like she has lost many friends.
Gretchen and Julian (he also won)
Gretchen with her Teacher
Gretchen with her dad and Annie
Gretchen with Amy (one of her best friends..notice the tears!)
Hey... save one for me!!!!
[/QUOTE] On the last night, we had a birthday cake for Tyler and our server Louis put frosting on his face!
This just cracked me up! I've never seen a mountain of luggage like this!
