Two days til vacation
The food is packed (mostly). This is because when I bought it on Friday we just piled it into our laundry baskets. My bathroom is clean so the boys staying here don't freak out and walk out when they entered it.
No tent needed this year--we'll be staying in KOA cabins, but Rob will dig out the sleeping bags and get them packed today.
I have Rainee's bday pressies all organized and in a box--as we will celebrate it on Saturday with all the nieces and nephews. This seems appropriate as she will be turning 5. A red-letter birthday in our house. It means she's no longer a baby.
Which in my opinion is an incredible miracle from God.
Did you all realize its been 5 years since all of the excitement/frantic/scarey moments of her birth? I know its very hard to believe.
Rob will do the 3 loads of laundry or so that are accumulated in the house, and then I will have the kids pack their back packs tomorrow. We tend to pack light and do laundry frequently. Its easier.
The towels are packed.
Today's job should probably be to pack the kitchen utensils & pots and stuff I need. I like to have a day to remember what I forgot.
And then discover 2 hours down the road that I forgot something integral.
Usually its something like a knife or a can opener.
And we alllllllllllllllways forget the matches.
Tomorrow I have intentions of making a pasta salad to eat for lunch, and sausage rolls to eat for breaky in the morning when Rob gets home from work.
HMMM actually *today* I should make ginger snaps.
But we shall see.
I might just curl in a corner and pretend that I have nothing to do except continue to get healthy.

Being the evil writing person. Could you hit Steph's board and both Dreamcatcher and the Sword story. Yes, the Drake type is missing in action big time. He is in Illinois as far as I know. His brother is extrememly bad (needs a kidney transplant) and then his nephew, who is 36, passed out in the shower (that was April 1), they were thinking heart attack, ...probably from all the stress of his dad. Anyway...if you could do that. Chuckles.
I hope and pray the weather holds for your vacation. You all need to have a terrific time!!!! And it's been 5 years. Wow!!!
*hugs*
have a wonderful vaction!
WOW! 5 years old. I cant believe it. If I remember correctly.....this is the same baby that had all the problems at birth...with breathing or needing a monitor and stuff? Correct? She was whisked away after being born. Maybe I am mistaken.
The vacation sounds like so much fun. I wish I was going with. Can I join you?
Have a great vacation if you dont post again.
