This IS Funny

This has been a busy busy week for me! I am at the moment catching a break from my morning work, which involved cleaning the house or at least part of it, and beginning to get the kids clothes around for our trip. My goal is to have everything packed and ready by Friday night so I can help my Mom get the rest around on Saturday. I still need to clean my van out, which ought to be a thrill! I don't understand how so much crap can build up in that thing!
I have however decided that a family of five needs a lot of things to leave for a week in the woods. Did I mention that there is no electricity where we are going? This is the way I have always loved to camp mostly because there are less people there, although now I am a little nervous about it because it really does require more stuff believe it or not. When Cj got up this morning he asked me if they had cable at the campground because he has a show he NEEDS (lol) to watch on Sunday night. When I informed him there wasn't even electricity for a TV you would have thought I told him the sky was not blue! The look on his face was priceless. I do hope though he will still have a good time without his video games and TV. In fact I am looking forward to showing him that there is a whole big world outside of the normal things he does.
I am getting excited about going, although I am NOT excited about the 5 hour drive to get there and get back. That part is going to suck! I know that we have taken 2 hour trips and it about killed the kids to drive that far so this ought to be interesting. And since we are leaving at 10 am the chances that anyone will sleep are slim, but I remain hopeful. We do have "fun boxes" packed with toys, coloring books, notebooks etc. to keep them occupied. And since my Mom is driving separate, one of the boys will ride with her, this will keep the "he's touching me!!!" to a minimum.
Well I have to get back to cleaning now, so I better go...I will update asap!

What a morning

So I woke up late this morning at 7:30 to be exact! I couldn't sleep for some reason last night so I didn't get to bed until 2 am or after. Of course the boys were up already as they are every morning...typically they get up, shut my alarm (which we never hear) off and flip on the tv to watch cartoons. So this morning I woke up, looked at the clock and said "oh *poop*!!!!" So I yell at the boys to hurry up and get dressed as we are soooo late! They are due at school by 7:45 and 7:50, I dive out of bed and into the living room...turn on the news as I always do just to be sure school isn't delayed or cancelled and low and behold they have a 2 hour delay (or for Dillion no school) So I turned my attention from hurry and get ready to "oops nevermind" So instead I went and woke up Claud so he could head off to work.
Now they are calling for 6-9inches of snow tonight which may mean Dillion will miss another day of school, he hates missing school. He likes to go and see his friends and play, this morning he almost cried when I told him he couldn't go.
Cj on the other hand came up with at least 25 excuses for why he couldn't go to school...his legs hurt, he was having a bad hair day, whatever he thought might work. unfortunatly for him at 9:30 we headed out the door for school.
So that was our very exciting morning....let's see if we can replay it tomorrow....lol
