Getting ready for my vacation may kill me...

The hubby is away on business...in Hawaii - AGAIN!!!!  I am trying to purge, organize, sort, donate, clean and pack BEFORE he gets back.  The dog isn't getting walked, but the kids are being fed (the dog is getting fed), having playdates and getting their pool time (3 hours yesterday with friends and cousins- kicked their butts, mine too, but who's counting?!)
I am the bizarre love child, hybrid mix of slob and organizational freak...it's not pretty, it's frustrating for everyone involved and it is getting on my last nerve.  It has me on edge, my husband pissed off, (not that he helps or anything...I know he knows where the dishes and laundry go), my kids living in a Sanfred & Son nightmare...so I have decided (after a blow up with the man befroe he left) that it ends now...whatever isn't put away, donated or sorted...will be thrown out before he gets home...
So, that being said...MY walk-in closet is done, the dressing area between our closets is done, upper landing - done and my craft closet downstairs DONE!  I did feed the kids a meal that I actually made myself, with groceries we went to the store to get...I have 48 hours left to finish this bitch...time to get back to it!

Deja vu...I.C.U.

Dad is in the hospital again...ICU, chest pains that were at an 8 (his "4" would cause me to pass out) that nitro couldn't bring down, waiting for results of echocardiogram and nuclear stress test...all initial tests came back pretty okay, but he is still showing signs of a clot somewhere...checking his lungs today...mom isn't sure if they are doing this via x-ray or dye...hope it's not dye because he has stage 4 renal failure and getting the dye in and out of him is hard on his body already...

SUCKS being so far away...we are headed that way in a week, hopefully he is out and on his way to recovery...he is always like this boomerang or yo-yo that always comes back to you or diligently back up the string...I'm just afraid that one time he will just keep going...

I try to be hopeful, with a little bit of reality thrown in...he is a very sick man and has been for a long time...it's just really hard to see it when you are in his presence...you can't see scars, the missing parts of lung, the artifical arteries, the shunts, the stints, the cancers, the failing kidneys, the deteriorating bones, the blockages, the vascular disease, the heart disease...

All I can do is sit by the phone wait for the updates and pray...

One more week - then SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!

Three more days for the little one and 4 days for the biggin'. then we are done until September!!! The girls will be actually going to the SAME school and it's starting 3 weeks late due to construction schedule!  Yes, I would like someone else to entertain them starting mid-August, but I am not eager to start waking up and putting a bra on before 7:30 am and putting shit tons of mileage on my car. 

We will be totally BROKE and I will be constantly trying to pry my kids off each other and breaking up fights, but I am ready!  Guess we will just be trading pool time with Miss J and her monkeys as much as we can...of course our vacations are runnign back to back, so we will start and finish the summer with really good friends : )

Take a bite...you know you wanna...

I want to eat EVERYTHING!!!!!  It must be because I will be going on vacation soon...to Florida...don't hate, it's hotter than hell, humid AND I will be living with my parents again.  I must be a special kind of idiot, not that I don't love my family....I really do, it's just that I don't ever feel like it's a vacation...more of a family trip, except the hubby gets to stay at home...alone...oh, and possibly head back to Hawaii for work!  Ugh!!!  I wanna trade...he can travel alone with the kids, make dinner for my parents (my mom does do the shopping and the dishes tho!)  And somehow, I have ended up with the "honey do" list.  Boo friggin hoo.

ok, enough of the pity party, someone take the 5 layer dip away!  I swear with all of the end of year school crap between the 2 kids, vocal practices and performances, wrapping up work and general life doo doo, I feel like 24/7 PMS bitch and stuff my face machine.  Maybe I'll just switch to beer : )

So...he's asleep on MY side of the bed...

And I am totally hoping that my typing this wakes him up and he moves...
waiting...
waiting...
I got nothing  :(
Could wake him up...already tried...
He did take the 5 year old to the pool while I took the 11 year old to dress rehersal, and he gave her a bath BEFORE I got home...
I guess I will grab my nook and head downstairs and read for a bit...then all bets are off }: /

School is almost out!!!

My girls still have almost 3 weeks of school left...I may be wearing adult diapers by the time all is said and done, but at least it will be over...for a while...at least when it starts up again, they will be attending the same school!

In the meantime I have been getting off my big ol' butt, being more active, eating healthier food and cleaning/organizing/purging my house with renewed vigor!  I have already been to the thirft store twice this week with donations - I actually scored an AWESOME pbk bed skirt for the 5 year old.  It is white with a Swiss Dot pattern, has a pale pink ribbon running thru the bottom about 2 inches up from the edge and has scalloped lace at the hem - for $4!!!!  I saw one online that wasn't even as pretty for about $89 - me likey : )
The 5 year old wasn't happy that her sister got a new pillow pet (she used her own money) and she got a bed skirt, oh well...not going to be the last time something like that happens.
