That was a great blog entry, Sha. Thanks for posting. Wise words for all of us.
Two kittens! What color are they? Wish we were not allergic to cat fur/dander.
For some reason, we don't have the same issue with dog fur, although forget about pollen and grasses. Highly, highly allergic, and some of that stuff does come in with the dog.
I spent the better part of yesterday cleaning. I was distracted from cleaning last weekend with the multiple trips to and from New Orleans.
DD16 is unmercifully bugging us to drive. She drove for the first time yesterday afternoon. It was kind of comical because before she left to go to her friend's house, she came to me and asked it was ok for her to drive around a bit in our neighborhood before her first solo ride, because she wanted to make sure she would not freak out. She drove for quite a while before she got her "sea legs."
She was compliant and called us when she arrived at her destination, and several other times.
The whole experience did "freak me out" however, and I resorted to cutting the lawn to distract me. She called several times while I was outside and left messages. It was pretty funny in retrospect.
Hope you had fun on your cruise, Barbara!
I decided against returning to WDW yesterday. Too much happening on the home front.
Now DD16's youth group has a trip planned during Mardi Gras which coincides with a trip I had planned as well, staying at the BWV and a couple nights at BLT. DD wants to do stuff with me, stay with me, but fly rather than take the dreaded charter bus to Orlando.
I don't blame her.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. I need to get my Halloween stuff down and packed away. ARRGGHH, why did I pull this stuff out in the first place???
