Getting ready to go!
I am so phyched! We leave bright and early in the morning. We are leaving all 3 kids home alone. Yikes! Wes is 21 and Katie is 19 after all, but we don't go away and leave them on their own too much and I'm worried about the "free-at-last" syndrome. I have warned them a hundred time what they can and can't do, where they can and can't go and who can and can't come over. I am not too naive to know that as soon as we pull out of the drive-way they will do whatever the heck they want, especially since we are going to be 1,500 miles away! Scary flashbacks of "Risky Business" keep running through my brain! I guess this is the time when the rubber meets the road, either we did a good job raising them or we really bombed. . .unlucky for me there is a lot of gray area between the two spectrums! OMG I'm not gonna get an ounce of sleep. I guess I could always threaten them that next time I'll have their granny come and stay with them if things don't go well this time. Ha Haa Haaa! That would get them! They can only handle her in small doses...really small. I can't handle her at all; I want to blow my brains out when she comes to visit. She called me at work today and asked for the kids cell phone numbers. . .ha ha ha. . I gave them to her!!!! She is gonna check up on them for us. (LMAO! They are gonna be mad when they find out!) Anyway. . .I have to finish my laundry so I can have some clean clothes to pack. I don't need much for just 3 days, but I don't know what the weather is gonna be. Tomorrow is supposed to be scattered thunderstorms, Sunday partly sunny and Monday (we head home in the morning) sunny. Here it is in the 80's still everyday, but I think it is 70's in the day and 60's at night. MMMmmm sounds good to me! Well, I just spend 10 minutes rambling on and on about nothing! You guys have a beautiful weekend. . .I'll get back to ya on Monday!

EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN TRUST YOUR OWN CHILDREN, A SITUATION MAY ARISE THAT NEEDS THE HELP OF A 911 CALL.
A TRUSTED FRIEND MAY BE LET IN AND A FRIEND OF THEIRS SHOWS UP AND LATER OTHERS AND THINGS BECOME OVERWHELMING.
PLEASE ADVISE YOURS TO CALL 911 IF A GATHERING BEGINS. A HOUSE CAN BE TRASHED WHEN THINGS GET OUT OF CONTROL.
SPEAKING FROM OBSERVATIONS QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO BEFORE THE 911 CALLS WERE AVAILABLE. ADVISE YOUR CHILDREN, THEN ENJOY YOUR TRIP. sam
Have a great trip.
lmao.....my kids dont pick up the phone when the caller id says grandma...lmao....
they know better! hope you had a great time!
