Glad to hear you are back in one piece Can't wait to hear all about the trip!

I've been busy with the boys and getting ready for my oldest's very first day of school Also hard to believe that my 2yr old is close to 3 And the baby...well, he Ain't no baby no more

These past two nights I've been a bit of an insomniac, guess my mind is churning a mile a minute, lol....just had my neuro appt today...went well, back in 6 months.

Hi Gladys!! Glad to hear that your appointment went well Our trip was good for the first week. Saffy and I share a tent of our own....you know how sleeping with 3 others males could be....they sweat, bedhog, and fart all night!!! The last 1/2 Saff started getting these big red welts all over her. I took her to the docs thinking that she had chicken pox but they were sand flea bites and she happens to react horribly to them. She also has an ear infection...so I spent alot of time at home with her...we popped in for visits at the campsite...it is only 20 mins from here. Over all it was good but Saff and I are still off our scheduale!!!!!!!! I just got her laid down after 11pm!!
I'll pop in tomorrow....good to hear from you Gladys!!!

Sounds like you had quite the adventure Hope the sand flea bites are all cleared up?! And an ear infection, to boot?!

We are doing well over here...enjoying the end of summer

I hope everyone is able to pop in this weekend...I hope you are all doing ok.

Hi Dorrie!!

Gladys...your mood says you are brooding....are you OK? Need to talk? Not trying to be nosey...I just care

Hubby celebrated 8 years yesterday!!!!! Hope everyone is doing OK!
Please everybody check in when you can

Hey Dorrie!

I just realized there was message here about my 'brooding' mood. I was feeling rather moody this week. I think a combination of being female and just feeling 'blah' about my in-laws. I'm also getting reconnected with my mom after the summer off/away from her. With my in-laws, my sister in-laws mainly, I just don't feel that 'connection.' Was feeling a bit sad, realizing more and more why my DH stayed away from his family for a while(before me.) Not they they are bad/terrible people or anything like that, au contraire, it's just we live on different wave-lengths and have differing views on the world. I guess before in my little polly-anna, naive view on the world, I thought we would somehow 'feel' like 'family' just by virtue of my being married to their brother. Yeah....that ain't happening Somewhere along this summer, I grew up in so many ways, on so many levels. Is that what sobriety brings? A newfound sense of maturity? So I guess I've been brooding over the 'what never was and what never will be's.

ON the brighter side of all this. I had always hoped that they'd teach me how to make their rices and empenadas. Well, all these years later, it just is not happening. So tonight, was my first attempt at the rice. It came out awesome! Later this week I'm going to try my hand at empenadas. I hope they come out just as well.

Well, I'm just checking in! Hope your weekend was well!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you Gladys
