Saturday Post

My dear friend, and close personal intellectual, Vicus, has said that no one reads or comments on posts that are made on Saturdays.

I proved him wrong by both reading and commenting upon his saturday post.

And now I'm off to post something here myself.

Hubby and I took the girls to the pool this morning and swam their little hearts out. We snuck out of the big family pool to bathe in the hot jacuzzi (no one under fifteen allowed) by ourselves. It felt soooooo good. Both our backs were hurting and the jets combined with the hot water = yum.


I've also been working on our road trip, trying to pare it down even more but I don't think I can, unless I skip California. But then the kids will be upset that we don't dip down into Mexico for a day or so.

So....Mexico or no. The polls are now open. Please cast your votes.

    Go to Mexico. There's a little town south of TJ called Rosarito that's wonderful, and cheap. My 17 year old kid is a Mexicophile because of all of our trips to the Pacific Coast of Mexico for a little surfing.

    I read your blog on Saturday....Your friend was wrong.

    Aloha,

    Jeff

    Welcome Jeff, and thanks for proving vicus wrong. I don't know how he'll handle the embarrassment, but that's life, eh?

    Also, thanks for the tip on Mexico. I'd really love to go there, but am a bit worried about going without hubby. Just me and the kids.

    We shall see.

    I also read it, Pam.

    Haven't been the southern or western states myself, but if I was a kid, I know I'd want to go to Mexico, just to say I had been out of the country...

    (smooch) Thanks Within Without, for reading my blog on a saturday.

    I've been to Mexico a few times and have had a great time there. Since I'm bilingual, it's more fun than not. I'd love to go again, but am thinking on not doing it this time.

    See, I didn't post this until Sunday.
    No one reads anything on a Sunday either, though.
    If it helps, I will be in Blue Springs , Missouri at the end of June. That's not much of a detour for you is it?

    I read it Sunday too. Sorry. I vote a cautious "yes" on Mexico - I've heard too many interesting stories about money-hungry cops.

    Vicus, I'll meet you there. We'll do lunch and you can regale me with photos of you and Tom in your younger, wilder days.

    Naddin, we'll go another time. I've just had to cut the entire California part of our trip due to circumstances beyond my control.

Ahhhhhh

Ally and I just got back from the gym. I went every day last week and even though it's Spring break for the kids and me this week, I promised myself I wouldn't fall off the wagon. No, not that one. I've fallen off so many times I've got callouses and other assorted damages from hitting the ground. We'll see how this works out this time. One day at a time, right? I can't do more than I can do. Whoa, how profound is that? You're right. Not very. I'm fighting a cold right now---scratchy painful throat, ears that won't unplug and a heavy feeling in my chest that I fear does not bode well for the rest of the week. Not that we're taking a vacation. We'd love to of course, but what with times the way they are and the things we need to get done here, it simply wasn't an option. So what are we doing for our spectacular spring break? I'm glad you asked. We're cleaning! Yes, you heard right. And my kids (Ok, the younger ones at an...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

The Boy

Will Soon Be Graduating From High School This means, in some small measure, I have successfully managed to get him through 12 years of school and to the age of 18 alive. No small accomplishment, that. Today he called for a ride home after he rode the bus most of the way to our house. As it was about 90 degrees outside, I obliged. I'm a good mom, plus it got me out of a very hot house and into the sweet deliciousness of my air conditioned vehicle. My oldest and youngest daughters went along for the ride and they spotted The Boy before I did. "What's up with his pants?" Indeed. The operative word for his pants was up . He wears those extremely skinny jeans and he'd rolled them up to about knee level and he was walking towards us with a grimace on his face. He was in pain. You see, five hours earlier, in the throes of near heat exhaustion, he rolled the legs of his pants up and then his legs swelled up. He was unable to remove his own pants or roll down what he...
