Okay, the kids are all at school and my little mini "ME" vacation has commenced! It's early morning but I almost feel like I should be sipping a margarita or something. Perhaps I shall pop some Barry Manilow in the CD player and dance about to a little Coco Cabana while twirling a baton??

Yes, my vacation away from the kiddos and my beloved R has started. Don't get me wrong I love my tribe but man the past few months they have somehow managed to drain me of my ever livin' mind! I'm on a personal mission to recover it!

What shall I do? I could do a million things on the ever growing and annoying To Do List, but that would be practical and down right boring. I think I shall sit here in my cave (a.k.a. my bedroom) with my trusty lap top, the TV, and some music and do what I have been aching to do for ages....NOTHIN'!

The kiddos are all doing well. Life is starting to settle down a bit with the nephews and their Mom. R and I are doing well and I am amazed that he still finds me adorable and sexy after the past few months. It has been a trying time and he assures me that those times only make us stronger. Maybe....or maybe they just make us crazy and we don't notice it cuz we've both done lost our minds??

DB managed to sell a billion Girl Scout cookies and now our garage is packed full of boxes and boxes of the sinful goodies. Perhaps instead of delivering them I should just go gorge??? Food for thought... Nah, I'd only end up looking like a Tagalong or a Do-si-do. Not a flattering thing I suppose.

Our youngest is in his Superman stage. As soon as he gets home from school he dresses himself in the most delightful Superman get up one could imagine. He jumps off everything, bounces around and basically drives the other kids bonkers. For a second I feel sorry for them, but must admit I do take a wee bit of pleasure in his antics. I am documenting this "blissful" stage with the camera and video cameras. I am certain his first girlfriend will deem this classic material. He shall hate me....but if you saw and heard my little super hero...well, you'd be asking me why I haven't already posted my documentary on you tube.

Lots to write about, but I won't overwhelm here today. Gonna go fetch some hot tea and then crawl back into the cave. It's raining here...which makes the cave dwelling even better. Happy Monday ya'll!
