And 4.5 hours into our drive I will need to fit two more suitcases along with two giggling young ladies into this already packed vehicle…..we’ll have to rearrange and play tetris or is it tetrus? with bags. Yes, there is a roll of toilet paper sitting there on the edge, you NEVER know when you are going to need toilet paper.

I am certain I have forgot to pack something even though I feel I over packed. I always pack light and regret it when I get there. This trip I did the opposite, I may regret it but oh well. Still don’t have a bathing suit or even shorts that I could wear on the beach for a day of play. So that might be the something I feel I am forgetting.

We won’t have internet access other than our phones while away so I will have to wait until we get home and settled to share photos and write about our adventures. Hopefully none of them include a lost child, puking child or hurt child.

Until next time……

I am …..

Watching my crazy 4 year old throw a stuffed airplane into the air making some sort of crashing sound effects.

Willing my headache to go away……thankful that I am not disabled by one of my attacks like yesterday.

Listening to the older boys giggle while brushing teeth. Can you giggle and brush at the same time?

Singing along with Kenny in my head so I don’t hurt the ears of my loved ones.

Wondering if I will get the cleaning done that needed to be done yesterday but didn’t because I couldn’t move without thinking I might puke with one wrong turn.

Wishing that we were leaving tomorrow and not Wednesday. But NOOOOO Mr. Fun won’t call in fake sick. Heck, he doesn’t even call in sick when he is sick.

Thinking I need to paint my toenails orange for the sake of the beach.

Planning our vacation in my head, not on paper.

Adding to my list of things to take, good thing we have a gas guzzling monster of a vehicle. we’ll need it.

Drinking water…

Realizing I haven’t had diet pepsi in days, so many days I have lost count. I don’t miss it either. Wasn’t done on purpose either and it is in the house. Just haven’t wanted it.

Hoping we have a safe uneventful drive to and from California.

Clearing all cards so I can take a TON of photos.

Packing yet more stuff into the already stuffed suitcases…don’t forget JJ’s chi and Lady GaGa CD (heaven help me, she’s becoming that teenager).

Adding things to my online cart that will never get purchased, even the boys crocs are in there though I totally guessed on the sizes.

Saddened by all the recent celebrity deaths…very sad.

Happy that I get to escape the 110 degree weather for a bit.

Excited at the thought of meeting Carol!!!

Missing summer concerts. Is it too much to ask that just ONE of my favorite artist come here and that we have a babysitter magically appear for the same night. Hey, it happened last year,(thanksjen) she came all way from Utah and babysat the children so we could attend a Tim concert!! That was my last concert, no wonder I am jones for one. This was us right before the concert…..

Thanks again Jen, we owe you one. She didn’t really come all the way from Utah to babysit, she came for a visit that happened to be the same week we had concert tickets.
I miss her, so here’s one of us We go WAY back to 1994.

I was going through old photos since I can’t seem to take a decent photo lately to save my life. I ran across this gem…….oh what a gem this is!! To catch the face at the exact time that I have said something that Mr. Fun doesn’t appreciate. I do have talent after all. 3 cheers for me! *RAH RAH RAH*

One thing I do miss when the heat hits and it’s too hot to even think about playing outside before 7PM is the ability to say “hey, lets go to the park”. Parks at night either creep me out or make me want to make out. It’s the truth, I swear. So we hang on our street and I can’t take photos of the kids playing. I get into a funk EVERY summer. So I am going to have to rely on old photos to share for now. Like this one of my not so daredevil son..he only looks high. I am on my back in the sand with other parents looking at me like I am a nuts.

Watching Crossroads With Taylor Swift and Def Leppard WOW!! I think I need this downloaded on my ipod, The whole concert!! I mean really, Def Leppard LIKES Taylor Swift’s music enough to do a concert with her? That is totally rockin my socks off!!

OH I went to Old Navy today and bought the boys matching swim trunks and rash guards……it was a MUST, I have to have them dressed the same. Some think it’s a little weird or even stupid. That is fine, let them think that. When one boy goes missing I can look at the other two and know exactly what I am looking for. I can pick my three boys out of crowd in SECONDS because I am not struggling to remember what color their shirt was. I already know because the missing boy is wearing EXACTLY what his brothers are wearing. When I lose one of them, even for a second my mind starts racing and I start to panic….losing all memory of anything….I am focused on the faces in the crowd. Dressing my boys alike gives me that extra edge to find them in seconds. When we lost Wy at Legoland …. before I started to run up that hill, tears stinging my eyes, I quickly glanced at G and I knew the exact description of my missing child. Had they not had the same shirt on, not so sure I would of remembered what Wy was wearing.
