Yay 1!!!
Woohoo! It's Monday! I know...I know...I'm not supposed to be all excited about Monday's but I can't help myself with this particular one. Momentous events are under way and there's nothing my children can do to stop it! HA! This is my kids last Monday of summer vacation! WOOHOOOO!!!! They actually start school 2 weeks from now but we're going to be in S. Cal. next week enjoying the beach, Mickey Mouse and the fam. My boys will even miss their first day of school which I would have killed for when I was a kid.
Yay 2!!!
I'm particularly excited about this vacation as it will be the first time my family has been together in nearly 4 years. We'll be celebrating my parent's 50th anniversary but 3 months late as my dad was still too ill to be partying it up in May. He's doing great and looking forward to the festivities! I even spoke to world-traveling military brother's wonderful secretary and she assured me she will move heaven and earth to get him there so Yay Again!
Yay 3!!!
I'm planning to have lunch with Bob (Bear) today as he drives through town and am looking forward to it greatly! Yay Some More! We haven't seen him or his wonderful wife in about 3- 4 years so this little visit means so very much to us. My only regret is that his wife won't be with him.
Boo 1!!!
Two of my boys had soccer tournaments this weekend and I have to say... it was just horrible. Christian's team was short 3 players so not only were they playing full games without any breaks, they were generally 2 men short on the field AND it was 105 FRICKING DEGREES OUTSIDE! UGH AND BOO! I am so sick of the heat...it's just been unbearable. I can handle it up to a certain point, but once I pass that point, I'm grumpy and whiny and generally miserable. Yesterday, I was miserable. Anyway...we have a few more days of 100+ weather then the cooling trend starts. 95 is the cooling trend. oy....
Enjoy your vacation!!

Yes I am sick the heat too, I'll be in mountains in New Hampshire next week though, so it's allll good.

Apparently he hasn't 1. Actually met you, or 2. Been to your house, 'cuz then he'd know it was a case of the inmates running the asylum! No real hope of meaningful therapy there.....
Sorry to boge out on you yesterday. I wish we could have stopped, but it is probably the last time I will see my grandmother alive, so she took precedence. Still, it would've been grand (though I suspect i would've spent waaaaay too much time with you and Rocket Man, and not have gotten home until today, thus earning myself comfortable accomodations in the back yard!)
Bob
