Two More Days!!!!!


I leave for vacation on Friday morning.  My family and I are going away for almost three weeks.!!!!  We haven't had a vacation in about 4 years and we are really excited.  I have cleaned most of the house, and have run approximately 10,000 errands!  We have begun packing and I am feeling good about the preparations.  Hopefully I will tie up loose ends tomorrow and we'll be off on Friday!


So, here's the plan:

We leave Friday morning and drive to NC.  We will stay overnight in Mayberry!  Really.  The town is actually Mt. Airy but it's where the Andy Griffith show was based.  I can't wait!  I've already been checking it out online and there's all kinds of touristy/kichy stuff to see and do dealing with the Andy Griffith show.  It was one of my favorite shows as a child.  Whoo hoo!  (I know, I'm revealing just how much of a nerd I really am.)

On Saturday we drive to the NC coast!  We will then stay at the beach for 3 nights.

On Tuesday we drive across SC to GA to my brother's house where we will stay for 3 nights.  My kids will get to see Nana and get spoiled rotten.  Can't wait!

Then on Friday, we head to the Promised Land (heh)-  Athens, GA!!!!  We'll stay at hubby's family's house and get to visit friends and his family for about a week. 

On the following Thursday, I get to go on a 3 night trip with my dear friend beyoncnay and another gal pal to celebrate beyoncnay's 40th birthday!!! Yay!      Yeah, that's right- 
3 desperate housewives on vacation- it should be quite interesting.  Beyoncnay and I plan on blogging from the beach to keep y'all up to speed.


I'll try to blog as much as possible.  There may be some time where I'm not around, but don't worry!  I will be back.

Hope you are having a great summer! 

Adios!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I'll be away for a while I thought I'd leave you with one more funny, toddler boy story.

My three year old son and I had to take the cat to the vet this week.  We sat in the waiting room for about 15 minutes.  While we were sitting, there must have been about 10 large dogs that came and went.  My son sat there pointing and laughing.  "Hey, look Mommy.  Dat dawg have penis!  Dat dawg have penis too!  Look. Look." 
It went on and on like that for the entire waiting time!  I wanted to crawl under the chairs.

See y'all later!

That's great.  I realized the other day, that I really need to start using proper terminology, rather than saying, "pee-pee," to Caleb, b/c he's seven, and he died laughing, when I said, "You know it's actually called a penis, right?"  I know I've said that before; he just forgets.

I love Andy Griffith.  What a big trip.  I hope it's great.  And I got the email.  I'd LOVE to have lunch with y'all.  I'll put it on the calendar  (and see about a sitter) today.

Nothing wrong with liking Andy Griffith. If that makes you a nerd, then I'm one too. Have a fun trip!

YOU were on MY case about blogging?  Where are you?  It was so great to see you guys.  Thanks for making the trip and including us.  Beyoncnay sent me some pics from the beach...looks like so much fun!  I'm sure it took a while getting back into the groove at home.  J3 started preschool at Redeemer this morning.  "Bye Mom.  See you at noon." was all I got.  I don't mind that.  Better than tears or whining!

Have a great time!

My goal is to wish all my subscribers a Merry Christmas a Happy Chanukah and a Happy New year ( check all that apply).  I don't want to do the impersonal mass message thing, so happy holidays to you.

Thank you for reading my site, it is very much appreciated.

Much love, Laura
