Back Home

Well, we have been back from our vacation since late Friday night. My goal is to get photos loaded tonight. I have been trying to hold onto my vacation for too long, but Monday morning came and back to the real world!

The drives weren't bad, and A-Cat entertained herself very well the entire time! Thank you A-Cat!

I was ambitious enough to get both cars cleaned inside and out over the weekend (trust me, that rarely happens!) That was about the extent of my ambition.

It was good to come home and see my hubby and friends. DH was glad to see us, but I think he had fun being a temporary bachelor for a week! I spent Saturday evening with friends and ended up with more mosquito bites than I did my entire vacation in GA.

I promise to post some pix from my vacation soon. Until then, enjoy some from our drive (from my phone!)

I'm Comin' Home

A-Cat and I head out for Georgia dark and early Thursday morning. It is our annual trip to see my mom and all the other crazies!! This is the first year we are driving down - 15 hours. I have snacks and drinks ready. Adley will have her colors and her movies and I have about 5 books downloaded on my MP3 player. It will be a long journey to a long-awaited vacation!

I've never lived in that house, or Georgia at all, but it always feels like you're home when your mom is there. No one truly knows you or understands you like Mom, and no one loves you in spite of it all like Mom does either.


I'm also excited to see my sin twister! Sara and I rarely have time together so this is always a treat! We usually have our moments of irritation during this 7 day excursion, but for the most part, we are glad to be together!

So what in the world do we all do?? Well, we cook, eat, laugh, drink, play incredibly hysterical games, sit on the porch and smoke and chat. The girls always take a day to go shopping and leave the kids with the men-folk. This year, we will be fishing, panning for gold and playing yard games (yep, even the good ol' illegal yard darts!)

I'd like to say I will miss you all while I am gone, but I won't! It has been too long since I have had a "vacation" and I have no intentions of ruining it by wishing I were back here!

Look for pictures from the road and from Georgia when I get back! I'm sure there will be some doozies!

Look out Mom, here I come!!



P.S. Speaking of back here, when I get back - Kelly, Rachel and I will be crawling for charity - lush style! I'm looking forward to it girls!!
