Almost Ready

My kids are home, Nathan is tucked away at work and I am still organizing for the trip. My mom thinks that I am a carefree person who is laid back and has no Type A in my bones. Well I do own a lable maker, I often purchase file folders and I keep my planner with me at all times. OK well my planner is a part of my wallet and I always have my wallet. Unless I leave my wallet and for that matter my whole Louis Vuitton purse in the Sams parking lot, in which case, NO I DO NOT have my planner --I digress. I have planned every minute of this vacay. So much so that I have flags on our tickets and brochures. I have everything (almost) color coordinated. I am type A I just don't stress about it. So if Mom will let me be in charge, we should have alot of fun. Do you think I am a control freak? I am I admit. So I think that we can pack the whole fam in 2 large suitcases. Now that American is charging for checking bags, we are sending our bags on Southwest with Nathan and Ethan. Mom, John and I are taking American. Why are we taking 2 flights on 2 Different airlines? No, we are not one of those families, who think that the plane will crash and what happens if we are all on the same plane? We had points on American (free flights) and we had a credit on Southwest for the ski trip that wasn't (almost free flights). We are using Dad's Marriott points for lodging and we are getting discount tickets from the Air Force base in TX. And the last 2 nights we are staying with our friends. Budget trip or what?

Anyhow, I am so happy to know that I have readers. My kids are sleeping and it is 5PM on Friday. This has not happened since they were 2. They have been farming and having fun until they are exhausted. Poor Babies.

Off to cook dinner I suppose. I hope that I can blog while away.
