2 more nights to go...

It's Wednesday, ONE MORE DAY TO GO until our family vacation. We are practically counting down the minutes for this one. Even the boys are excited. We are so lucky that our men go on our big family vacations. I guess they have no choice. When we go on vacation, all 8 of us are going. Period.

I have so much to do to get prepared, but that is the fun part. I always pack too much, but have narrowed it down to 3 pairs of shoes. Good eh?

Yesterday was a very difficult day for me. I was very busy at work, until about 11:30, and then the waterworks began. I cried pretty much all day. Poor sissy was too busy with the kids to even think about crying about Grandma. Josh came home for lunch yesterday and I was crying and he was consoling me. Asa walked around the corner and said "why are you crying Mum? Is it because GG diedid?" I said yes, that I was sad, but feeling better now that I had my boys around me. He replied "Mum, that's just the way life is" and he hugged me right along with Joshua. How could I be sad with that said. I just love my men in my life. Today is a better day.

This afternoon, Sissy and I are going in for a spa pedi, and mani. I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Sissy without the kids. Those times are few and far between. Things must be going pretty good for me right now, because I'm stressing about a color for my nails. I'm nuts....

Spa time with your sister!! That sounds like just what the doctor ordered. You are going to look great and you'll feel more relaxed for vacation. I'm thinking about you and your family and sending up prayers for all of you. :) :) xoxoxoxoxox

Dearest
I believe crying is a gift. You will miss your Grandma for a long time but some day you will see her again and then never have to be seperated again.
Your Asa is a true gift from God. That boy is so smart and knows just what to say.
So glad you had a spa day you two deserve all the best.
Love
