The past few days

So, I have slacked and not been on here in a bit, but I'm back! Finished out my work week last night, so today was my first official day of vacation. So far I have done nothing successfully, and loved each and every minute of doing nothing! That is not entirely true... Last night Shawn and Angela dropped the girls off to stay the night with good ole Lynnie. We had a blast right from the start. Pam, Chase, Kadence, Taylor, Tristin, and I all piled in the golfcart and headed to the park. Now, mind you, we put the bigger kids, T and T, in the back and belted them in with the golf bag straps while they stood, Pam drove, Chase sat in the middle, and I held Kady while she suckled oh so vigorously on her newly warmed up bottle of her wonderful mothers breast milk! We seriously looked like the freakin Clampets, kids strapped in (literally!), newborn infants nursing, and two fairly "normal" looking white gals all out on a Saturday night riding around on a golf cart! Also, you must remember that when we get to the park we are like the total talk of the neighborhood kids, cause, oh yeah, we arrive in a golf cart.... All the other "well to do" people in their mini-vans and SUV's, oh no, we are so too cool for that, us, we rock the cart!!! While playing Taylor calmly looks at me and says "Did Mom tell you we haven't eaten yet? Cause we haven't." Okay, so now let me get this right, you were dropped off to me at 7:30 and still hadn't had dinner, and now you tell me this at 8:30, great! So, we all pile back in our cart and head back home and about halfway back I hear Tristin say to Taylor, "Gosh Taylor, I'm hungry, why hasn't Lynn fed us yet?" I can tell ya why kid... CAUSE LYNN DIDN'T KNOW SHE NEEDED TO!! Instead I calmly turn around, smile, and sweetly respond, "What would you girls like for supper?" Fortunately for me the responce was waffles, and oh yes, their are always Eggos in my freezer!!! "Toasted" dinner, put on pj's, and by midnite all was quiet at Lynnies house.

8:40am, I awake to the slight tappity tap of Taylors long, skinny, pointy, I should play the piano, finger on my forehead. I am so elated that it isn't like 5:45, because, ya see, she HAS done that before while staying at my house. She immediately asks, "What are we gonna do today that's fun Lynn?" Well Taylor, first off I am gonna pee, then brush my teeth, check my e-mail, and pick up the living room that you and your sister trashed in a matter of minutes last night. That sound fun? Of course I don't say any of that... I only think it. "Well, Taylor, anything you and Tristin want, how's that sound?" "Yay, I love you Lynn!" It is gonna be a good day!!!
We had strudels for breakfast, their request.
Papa Murphys for lunch, their request.
Played beauty shop with my head as if it were the Barbie doll manequin head designed to be pulled, twisted, and tugged on. (Obviously their request, cause no sane person would ask to have this done to their head!)
Went to Walgreens and bought Rogaine for women... okay, that's a lie, but I may now need to though, and that counts! At this point it is pushing ...
3pm, and I, I mean they, are needing to nap. So, we did, for three glorious hours! Have I mentioned yet how much I love vacation!
6pm, all awake again, so what do we do... We load up in the cart like the unashamed white trash we all are and go to the park. Best part of this park trip, even though their is enough room IN the cart this time, Taylor wants to ride standing in the caddy area again, and who am I to say no.... so I let her!
All in all it has been a great start to vacation!
