Away

Thank you all for your kind words on the passing of Marley. Everyone here, including our friend Sugar is doing a little better. Sugar is getting paid a lot of attention by the kids, I guess they are thinking that she is lonely too. I try to spoil her a little with a little one on one time when everyone is at work or school. She needs a bath, and I think that next week, I will be attempting to give her one.

One of the reasons that I am posting today is that I want everyone to know that I have really been enjoying the weather andmy mood has been better as a result. The weather since Saturday has been sunny and warm. The kids took out the shorts and have been wearing them constantly. At night, when the sun goes down, it gets a little chilly, or should I say, downright cold. I close all of the windows and we don't really need the heat. THis weather is my favorite. I love it in the 70's during the day and in the 40's at night. It would be ideal for me to live in this type of climate all year long. As I said, the weather does affect my mood. Perhaps I should go and see the doctor about this???!!!

We will be going away at some time on Friday, a weekend jaunt. It will be to Deleware again, for the first RIPTIDE tournament of the season. It is a much needed break for all of us and a great change of scenery. It is a familiar place, a fun place, a place where the kids can wander around and we can feel safe. We set the boundaries for them and they follow them. It is a nice tradeoff.
So, pardon me if I don't post until sometime next week, I have busy, busy days ahead of me. I will attempt to start packing tomorrow after baseball and tee ball. I can at least pack the garment bag with all of the uniforms and the protective under gear in it. I also need to foodshop,as we are only going away for a weekend, for us and my mother. I also have to shuffle kids to games and practices.
Thursday I have a dental appointment. It is the follow up after my endodontic root canal proceedure. I had to see my dentist to put in the permanent filling. I still want to get out and about to see if I can pick up a new pair of sneakers or casual type shoes to wear/bring to DE. Scott needs tee shirts, as his are getting or have gone shabby. So, again, see all next week!
