Spring Break

Well, Jacob's Spring Break starts in an hour and a half. By 5:00pm, we'll be on the road to Ohio to stop at my folks' place. We'll drop the dogs off at the prison where we adopted them from, which will make them ecstatic!! They love to go back to visit all the inmates, and Buster goes CRAZY as soon as we pull in the drive. The inmates take great care of them, and they give them the best bath ever. And the best part?? It costs us $3/day to board them and $5 for each of their baths. Woohooooooo!!!!! I can't wait to see my clean dogs next week! They really need a bath.

Tomorrow morning we'll get up and around, have breakfast with my folks and head to Kentucky...where it's supposed to rain all week. :( What a bummer!!!!! I'd rather stay here in our snow and play in that than go hang out in a small apartment in the rain. But the kids REALLY want to go see Ron. Geesh! The things we do for our kids.

So I've been trying to prepare myself for all the "are we there yet" and the "he's looking at me" and "she's bothering me" comments I'm going to hear the entire way. I HATE road trips. I hate being in the car, and my kids hate it equally as much...and they complain ALL.THE.TIME. We've tried games, contests, rewards, etc. - but nothing works. We have a DVD player, they take their Leapsters, music players, bags with coloring books and notebooks, etc. And within 30 minutes, they will both be complaining. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish we were flying.

I went home for lunch and put everything on the kitchen table that we're taking. Wow - I overpacked BIG time. We're not even going for a week, and I have a TON of stuff. The boogers better not say they're bored when we get there, though! It's hard since it's going to rain...a couple of the things I was planning to do with them are outside. Big bummer there.

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'm not sure if I'll be back online before next Thursday, so don't miss me too much. LOL!!
