I'm Leavin'..on a jet plane...unfortunately, I know when I'll be back again

So tomorrow is Miki's last day of school for the year--and as a surprise, we are heading off to the LAND OF MICKEY MOUSE!!! Yes people, even though we are of the major poor, we have decided to help stimulate the economy and go on vacation. Hubby starts his new job on the 8th and it might be a long while before we can do this again, so we are taking the opportunity!

Miki doesn't know--we're not telling her a thing until we pull up to the airport. DH and I are about to bust with excitement and the child has no clue!! FUN!

The bad thing is that I have decided to come down with what I am sure is the swine flu. I was running a fever last night, coughing, sore throat, snot, all kinds of lovely. I am leaving work at noon today and plan on putting myself into a Nyquil induced coma to try and get rid of this crap. I cannot get on a plane in this condition so I hope it's gone by Sunday morning. Wish mama luck getting rid of the death that I am currently feeling.

We are going to make a stop at BFF's place of employment to see her whilst we are in the land of sun and humidity as well--I have not seen her in over a year, so I cannot wait for that. We've got to do at least one park and we have tickets to do a Richard Petty Experience at the "Mick-yard"--Disney's racetrack. Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach are also on the list of fun things to do--there is a steak joint down there that we just love to go to--hope it's still open!

So my lovely readers, all 3 of you, have a wonderful week and I'll post when I get back!!!

Ciao

Today's Yummiliciousness (jot that down)

In honor of him being in Cannes....Le Sigh

And so ends another dance season......

I hate to say this, but I am SO OVER DANCE! I am glad this season has ended--but I'm a little sad because dear daughter has informed me that she no longer wants to take dance classes. We set a goal for her to get her 5 year award--and she's going to come up a year short. Who knows, maybe she will change her mind by August and want to do it again.

I do have a question--why in the HELL does a music room smell like ass and feet? You would have thought we were dressing in the men's football locker room. I realize that times are tight, but DAMN, Bowling Green State University--get some air freshener PLEASE.

I just don't see how a MUSIC room should have that kind of smell--EVER! But anyway, the recital went well, they all looked great and I am thankfull it is over--for now!

FREE CHOCOLATE!!!

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!!!

www.realchocolate.com

GO THERE NOW!! Go to the site each Friday to register to win FREE CHOCOLATE!!! Mars Brand is promoing this I think thru Sept--and today there are a half a million certificates being offered. You have to register to get one--not sure if it's a "luck of the draw thing" or what.

The premise behind this is the FDA regulating how chocolate is labeled and Mars wants you to know they only use REAL stuff to make theirs--not the "fake" ingredients used in lesser chocolates.

But hey--anything that offers free chocolate is good in my mind!!

ENJOY!

Happy Birthday Rob!!

23 years ago (and who knows if that is true because for some reason you look a lot older than 23--hey it could happen--those boys who played on 90210--THE ORIGINAL--were all supposed to be young kids and now they are really older than I am--IMDB lies!!--Hell, I think the studios make them lie so that they seem closer to the age of the parts they are playing---Lurker keeps telling herself this so that her lust for this boy is not so creepy)

Annyyyheeeww--- I was a month away from graduation and you dear boy were born!! You've been rocking London since then and rocking our Twi-Harts for the last couple of years!!

Enjoy your day

Love,
Your future Mistress!!

How much for a cloning machine?

OK--anyone know of a cloning machine that I can get on the cheap or at least borrow for next week???

Why does everyone and their brother decided that EVERYTHING must happen all in the same week and mostly at the same time as other activities in my house?

Between MULTIPLE dance rehearsal/dress rehearsals/rehearsal to rehearse the rehearsal/New LatchKey sign up/school events/work/the actual recital, etc I find myself needing to be in multiple locations at the same time next week.

I think that I am going to go to my "happy place" (ie: Bottle of Smirnoff) this weekend to prepare myself for the onslaught of crazy that awaits. Oh--don't worry, I'm making hubby do his fair share, but I JUST KNOW that important information is going to slip thru the cracks and that will make for another mess for me to clean up.

It's not wrong to spend Mother's Day drunk when you ARE the mom right?
