**As I type, Jack, who seems to be fully recovered (at least physically-he may be forever psychologically scarred) from the hammer attack, is lying on the coach with a bag of frozen blueberries between his legs following a bike accident on the driveway that left his manhood painfully injured. I'm awaiting a call from our pediatrician to see if she thinks I should bring him in. There is a bit of swelling going on, but these things are a mystery to me....Honestly, you'd think I'd be mentally prepared for Spring Break by now. The human spirit is a hopeful thing though. One day. One day we'll eat rainbows and poop butterflies during Spring Break. Just not this year.**
The weather man is calling for rain all the rest of the week (or basically just the days that we have booked a cabin.) Maybe he'll be wrong. Hahaa. I know. It's Spring Break, right? Of course it will rain. Probably flood. With a cyclone and munchkins. Followed by a terrible altercation with a menacing green witch with pet monkeys who will steal our dog and fly away to their horrible lair and...oh, you're still here? Sorry.
Where was I? Oh yes. Tomorrow.
Well, tomorrow (haha, I can't believe I'm actually typing this...what a terrible chance I'm taking...) we plan on leaving around noon to head to the cabin. We're set with coloring books, video games and play-doh in the event The Great Flood '09 occurs, and we're stranded indoors for 3 days. PMac will be driving up and joining us for one day/night...God Bless Her. She may want to rethink those plans. Aligning yourself with us during this specific week of the year is not only dangerous, but some might argue not very prudent. The kids are excited she'll be there, so we're hopeful that maybe she'll bring a bit of good fortune our way.
We've also stocked up on rubber boots, umbrellas, etc. Unless there is some serious electrical storm, we plan to enjoy the weather no matter what gets thrown at us. It would seem that DaddyP, aka Mr. Eagle Scout, camped quite a bit as a youngster, and he is chomping at the bit to cook all of our meals over an open campfire. Haha. I can't help but giggle. Mind you, it would probably be a good meal, if it wasn't spring break. Given the fact that it's supposed to rain a lot, I think we'll take campfire cooking items, but I'll also be taking sloppy jo fixings and a crockpot with stew makings---just to be on the safe side.
I live on safe side.
The safe side is my friend.
I own the safe side.
My middle name is Safe Side.
The kids are super ready to leave. We're taking the kids bikes, tent, lanterns, flashlights, s'mores fixings, mud boots/clothes, shovels, rope, fishing poles....we're set!
Stay tuned....
