And we're off...

Aaahh.  It’s 10ish and both boys are down.  It’s been a hot and exhausting night.  We did the daycare thing this morning, then packed/laundry/cleaned the rest of the day.   Marc hit the road soon after he got home from work heading to MN for a nice long fishing trip.  It was sad when he left and Andrew was a bit whiny for a while.    

But I popped in Blues Clues while I made meatloaf from the freezer and mashed potatoes for dinner.  We ate dinner and went for a nice long walk (for Andrew it was a constant run).  The weather was close to 80 today and because we had a bit of rain off and on, it was very humid.  Sooo…we came back in a while and made some Magic Milkshakes before bath time for the boys.  And yes, I remembered to plug the drain this time.  Andrew went to bed just fine and believe it or not, AJ’s been sleeping for about an hour.  Much earlier than his usual midnight bedtime… not that I am complaining.  I am loving this.  I finished picking up the house, watched the Office, finalized some packing and now, I am actually typing WITH TWO HANDS!!   Although, I am half expecting him to be up again before being truly down for the night.

Tomorrow, after we get ready I am hoping to finish packing (the stuff we can’t pack until we use it) before we head out.  We will hit the coffee shop for my free liquid energy, and head to the zoo.  We are meeting his daycare class there for a field trip.  We do the zoo thing, and then the whole class is getting Happy Meals for lunch.   Happy Meal = Happy Andrew.  

We’ll come home just long enough (in theory) to change diapers, unload the stroller, pack up the car, and probably feed AJ (if he’s made it that long).  Pray for me, as I am trying to pack all the necessities of the three of us for a week in an Escort.    Then we will hit the road and head to O.H.I.O!   So, if you don’t hear from me for a while, that is why.  I am planning on taking our laptop, but my folks don’t have wireless and their dial-up makes normal dial-up seem like broadband.

Ok, I need to wrap this up and actually head to bed before midnight now that I have the opportunity.  Please pray for Marc during his travels and of course myself with the boys that we all come home safe and sound next week.  Have a fabulous and safe Memorial Day Weekend.
