i really don't want to go but i also don't want mike to have to take the bus again.
hmmmm.
what are you doing today, April? (i love the internets!)
my dad is coming down!!!!
i'm so excited b/c we haven't seen him since january or february. he actually is bringing bday gifts for both kids, that's how long it's been since we've seen him.
he only lives 2.5 hours away, but he had a friend living with him while the friend sold his house and waited to close on the new house, etc. it was MONTHS and we just figured it would be better to not have that many people sharing that space.
we were supposed to take him out on the boat, but it's terrible yucky weather here, so we'll probably just hang out today. we might take him out on the boat in the morning b/c it's supposed to be nice in the morning.
sonya, how about meeting him half-way and having him take a bus to that point. that might be a better compromise. :dunno:
i was 15, friday night after a basketball game. it was cold, snowing - november?
i was a soph, the guy was mike, a senior and the school photographer. he was shooting the game. he was into the preppy/punk scene - rats tail and all. i was a prep, so that punk edge he had made him kinda a bad boy LOL.
he drove an old dodge dart with little kings bottlecaps for the radio knobs. i was so excited to sit in the car with him.
we stopped in a mcdonalds drive thru and got a few hamburgers. then drove to the back corner of the country club parking lot to "make out". we ate the burgers, and the rolling stones were playing undercover of the night. he was a bit funny - he jumped out in the freezing and whirling snowstorm onto the hood of his car and was dancing, but his sperry top sliders made him slip LMAO!
so he came back inside and...
LOL!
awesome story.
but i have to admit that the thought of making out right after eating those burgers with that burger flavor and onion residue in your mouth is making me :puke: a little.
i remember sucking down that coke and swishing it discreetly around trying to get rid of the hamburger yuk... but we both had ketchup breath so it was OK!

Fun with your dad. That is great.
I think we are going to go. The weather is still ok. I have no idea what we will do if the weather turns. we could go see a movie half way there but I have no idea if Josie will sit through something.

oh well, we'll figure it out.
thanks!
and good luck. do you have a portable dvd they can watch in your car on the way? that has seriously kept me sane on most long car trips.
i think that i'm going to try to talk matt into buying 2 portable players this fall so that each kid has one. we've been using a laptop on trips (and i have them built-in to my van), but they're getting old enough that they don't always want to watch the same thing. plus, now that jake gets his own seat, when we go to matt's parents, one kid will sit with me and the other with matt. and i really don't want to take 2 laptops just for that.
Charlie was an absolute TV junkie. Josie couldn't care less about it. She asks to watch and then she wanders off. Charlie won't move when the tv is on so we really have to regulate it.
We watched Movie Cars every day from 18 mths until 2. Shoothead.

we just got it. i just saw it for the first time last week. it was cute!
jake is still sleeping. i can't believe it. he must have been tired last night. i think the rain helps too.

let me know how cute it is after the 100th time you've seen it. ;)
Josie just ran over to the potty and sat down and peed.
Horray!
I am SO proud of that girl!
yay josie!
that is SO awesome!
how close are she and jake in age? he was 3/26.
She just turned two on the 7th of Aug.
She does such a good job (sometimes). Last night i left her at my mom's to run quickly to walmart. She pooped in her underwear, my mom pulled it off downstairs and got poop on the floor in the kitchen. She realized her mistake, took her upstairs and pulled it off in the bathroom - josie stepped in it then walked on the carpet and then my mom walked in it (lmao). my mother was not happy with me when I got home (lmao).
I said "oh she never does that for me" (my mom's key phrase whenever I tell her something the kids do).
