Sunday August 9, 2009

Worst Part of the Day - Well summer finally arrived - just in time for me to have to pack up a car.  IT'S SO HOT AT 8 IN THE MORNING!!  I was sweating my arse off as I lugged bag after bag (after bag - why did I stock up on rice milk again? Oh yes, it twas on sale at Meijers) to the minivan.  Wes' frog is still missing - did he take it outside?  WHERE is it?  Then I have everything together and we are on our way out the door when I hear the gas burners in my parents cottage clicking away ... what the!  I don't want to blow us all up and I suspect Wes was messing with it, so in frustration I yell at him.  (Later I realize that he probably had nothing to do with it.  Nice.)  I finally channel the Queen (of England circa WW II and "Stay Calm and Carry On" and unplug the entire gas deal.)  I'm just sweating with a big head of crazy hair by this point.  Then I realize Quinn's softie is also missing ... but what can I do but leave?
We make it to the hotel around 6 p.m. and the boyz are INSANELY crazy -jumping on beds, moving mirrors, SCREAMING ... I feed them, bathe them and still they are jumping up and down.  Finally I just lay down and turn off all the lights and wa la 20 minutes later both are in snoozeland (one on either side - I upward dog myself out and into the vacant second bed).

Best Part of the Day - Drive is halfway over! 

NOTE - While cleaning up after us my mom finds the frog stuffed way in the basement sofa (I promise you that my mom, dad and I each spent two hours looking for that thing yesterday.)   Quinn's beloved softie has yet to resurface.
Also special thanks to my parents for hosting us for four weeks - whew!!
