Top Ten Occupants of My Mind

Life's busy.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I guess it's good. I'm confident that, even though things are stressful at the moment, they will turn out good in the end.

Here's what's happening:

1 - Tomorrow night we are driving 5 hours from home so that we can be there when offspring #3 graduates on Saturday. Finally - no kids in college any longer.

2 - Next weekend we are moving offspring #1. Instead of being 800 miles from home as she's been the past 8 years she will now be just 300 miles from home. How cool is that? We'll be seeing much more of her this way as she can come home on those long 3 day weekends and such.

What's interesting here is that as we move offspring #3 back home, we're moving offspring #1 to the state which #3 is leaving. Adam will fly to where she is now to drive the truck for her. The rest of us - myself, #3, #2, and #2's hubby - will drive and meet them at the new place which is closer to home.

3 - The weekend after that we will be home. My plan is to relax after these two insane weekends.

4 - The weekend after that I am having some fairly major surgery. I have a hernia the size of a sugar baby watermelon. They are repairing it and then tightening my belly by removing some skin. I'll have to wear two drains. One will come out after two weeks. The other in 3 to 4 weeks. I'm not looking forward to that but will be glad when it's over.

5 - I think I might get a tattoo.

6 - American Idol is exciting this year. Both Davids are awesome. Then there's Syesha. That girl has come a long way. She was quite unnoticeable in the beginning. Lately she's been pouring it on. Has anyone ever been in the bottom 2 or 3 so many times then made it this far? Amazing, that girl is.

7 - No road trip for us this year. I mean - REALLY - have you seen the price of gas? It was $3.79 when I got back to town after work today. Takes me 2 and a 1/2 gallons just to go to work each day.

8 - On the other hand, we're taking a plane trip this year. It's actually a business trip for Adam however we're going to turn it into pleasure also by staying a couple days after the business part of it is over. We're going to see some sites but better yet - we're going to spend a couple days with some friends that I'm dying to see.

9 - Next week our 100 year old house is getting sided. It's been a long, long time since it was painted. It's a mess. The paint is peeling but what's worse is that we had some wicked bad ice storms this winter. The last one brought down a 25 foot section of spouting. It's all getting fixed.

And saving the best for last......

10 - PK is coming to visit!!!!!!! And she's bringing MOLLY!!! The jury is still out on Nick coming along. I'm going to make them promise that if he doesn't come this time then he has to come next time.


Well, that's it in a nut shell. Keep PK entertained on the weekends for me this month but don't let her forget me!!!
