The LOOOONG Weekend!

I love 3 day weekends. Something about not having to get things in order on Sunday night for the week that makes it so nice. We had the chance to go for really inexpensive $ to a weekend at the timeshare MIL & FIL got for the kids as this years Christmas gift. (every other year is a family vacation or a gift year, this year was a gift year, how nice are they?) We have lots to do this weekend and just could not blow off to N Conway. Ugh ! Well a little ugh and a little sigh of relief. I am sure there is some white stuff up there and the less white stuff I see the better. My mental health has been wonderful due to the great winter we have been having. LOL ! Then there is the packing and shopping for food. Sometimes I think (like Normie) it is a bit of a hassel to go away. If it were a quick drive to Florida then I would have no quames about it but not to snow country lol......I know Karen and her family as well as Drew and all you other freaky winter lovers beg to differ. Since they bought the time share (a week in Oct. that can be transfered to other times and locations w/ a 4 year rotation b/c there are 4 familes involved) we get calls to go for the $89. weekend special. Not per night, per weekend. Where can you go for that price? This weekend we will be home here in the @ 50* weather loving the fact that it feels more like the end of March than the beg. og Jan. ...AND NO SUNDAY WE ARE NOT GETTING A LOT OF SNOW>>>>>>>TOO WARM TO STICK and make a difference...Sorry to burst all the winter lovers bubbles.......; P .............Remember the winter @ 5 or so years ago that we only got 1/2 " of snow the entire season? LOVED IT!

Well you will laugh because I'm heading up to mountain country (and the cold) tomorrow after the boy's basketball games!

The best part after skiing is coming home to a nice fire (gas log - no messy wood for me) and looking out at the view with another cup of coffee in hand and knowing I have the rest of the day to relax. We are going to bring some movies and board games and just RELAX (which I'm very good at) :) My boys have Tuesday off too so we get a nice long weekend!

well stephie if you want to escape the snow forever come on out to Southern Cal...the closest we've seen to snow is the ash from the wildfires in 2003.

We were in PA. this weekend (b4 tommy got sick--threw up 7x in the car)--Sorry Garden State Parkway workers...we usually never litter!
It was like 50 and rain. Kinda depressing!

Poor Tommy.. there is a "puke" bug going around. Do you think it was something he ate, or a virus?

I'm going puzzle crazy. We are working on our 2nd puzzle of the weekend and my brain/eyes hurt.

Def. a virus. He had 103 fever too. :-(

OH YIKES....Hope he gets better soon and the bug does not take flight to all of the others....Spray the car down with lysoll and then clear stuff with rubbing alchole.....S
