I don't know how you like to do things when it's vacation time in your family…but us, we like to procrastinate! We take extra time (to get things ready, ya know) and then we waste it because we are dragging our feet with a bunch of nothing stuff. Like right now. It's Sunday night and all weekend we had lists of things to do in order to be ready to leave TUESDAY NIGHT!!!
We've slept in both Saturday & Sunday. Some people, later than others.
Started a crazy in-depth bathroom wall repair job. Dust & debris everywhere.
Piled laundry in random areas. None of which is for the trip.
Created a grand amount of chaos in several locations in our house. Tool hunting.
Not washed either dog. One is leaving today (Monday) to visit friends.
Forgot to color my horrible gray roots. This can wait, but ewww!
And of course…we haven't packed a single thing!
The reason we were supposed to get all these duties done before Monday is because we have no time on Monday. It's a day full of busy activities that can't be skipped. It's senior picture day for Miss Gates and senior registration…plus I have classroom work to do before I can leave town. This means, packing will have to get serious late on Monday night and early on Tuesday. Just the way we always do it, rushing & hectic.
I hate traveling all exhausted! 6 hours and 18 minutes to our destination.
I'm really excited to go back to Alabama. We're visiting with our friends from seminary days (the Nelsons) and have lots of fun lake days planned. NO, I WON'T BE TAKING MY IPHONE ON THE BOAT! NOPE NOPE NOPE!! NOT DOING IT! They've been sending us tantalizing photos of all the boat fun they're having each day. I can't wait to just get away and laugh with friends who love us and care about the same things we do.
Friends are the family you choose, right?
Besides not being ready to go yet….I took one for the team too. Hubby is my favorite pedicurist. I hire him out when need be (Ahem, Marilyn) and he tries to keep my scratchy flip-flop heels nice and smooth. A job meant for serious professionals, I'm sure. But he trudges on. Yesterday he was filing away and sliced the skin off of the ball of my foot. Enough that I can't walk on that foot now. It huuuuuurts! The pain even woke me up in the middle of the night shooting up to my knee. That kind of hurt!
So, I'm milking it good. (it really does hurt)
You know…the old, this is going to be okay. I have a few more days left of summer before I have to go back to work. It should be healed in a few weeks, kind of milking it. Hehe!
Since it is vacation week and I am procrastinating (along with all my family)….I'll just gimp along and hope the booboo heals fast!
