Wa-hoo! Vacation Day is here. Last minute trip to pick up car (DH noticed a gouge in the wheel/tire and decided best to have it replaced) - cost "just over your $100s" as reported by 1st grader who went with to the shop - $101) and then grocery store.
Bags are packed. Batteries are charged. Playaways for the kids to listen to in the car have ear plugs. Directions for pet care are laid out for my mom. Minutes put on the phone.
I actually also took some money from saving and paid ALL the bills for August including the mortgage. I also paid the credit card that I put the hotels and the tickets on.
Feeling good, looking forward to some MAJOR family time, kicking back and having fun.
For the prayerful here, please keep in mind the husband of a friend of mine, Steve D., who passed away yesterday after a long fight with cancer. Please say a prayer for his daughter T.(a new first grader, friend of my son) who said, "You've been such a good daddy. It is OK to go to God and help Him with the babies." Boy, I can't even say or write that one without welling up. Let's love our families today, even the difficult members.
I'll see you after vacation. Hope everyone stays fine and I'll catch up on the blogs when I get home!
See you in a bit
