….except I do know when I’ll be back again.<\/p>\n
I’m headed up to Prince George to hang out with my friend’s dog…..well, and her chickens…..are they even still alive, darling?<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0She is my dearest and longest friend <\/a>and we’re more like family than friends.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, her darling husband is down here working very close to where I live….when opportunity knocks you gotta answer<\/em>…..and she is back at home working a full time job (in a stressful working environment) with 5, yes you read that right FIVE children.\u00c2\u00a0 She has her 4 girls and one 10 year old boy (exchange student), and well, she never complained to me, but something in one of her recent e-mails to me had me wanting to go and love on her a little, and if I’ve worked this out right – I belive that her hubbie is headed back up there to see her in the days just after I leave, and how cool would that be for him to come home and for her to not be stressed out.<\/p>\n I can’t imagine how she’s coping with everything.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n So, I leave tomorrow and I’m taking the two boys with me.\u00c2\u00a0 Yup, me and JJ and ‘Siah are headed out on a plane….I got wicked cheap seats (YAH Westjet ROCKS!) and we’re gone for a week, but dont you be worrying none.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m hoping and aiming to post every day that I’m gone. ‘Cause I gotta blather on about Jeremy’s first plane ride (did I mention how excited he is to be going on a plane – he came into the baby’s room this morning where I was standing in my bra and underwear (I know you needed that detail….wait, you’ll understand in a minute) and changing the baby’s diaper, and he walks up to me and hugs me so tight and says in a whisper “Only one more sleep, Mom.\u00c2\u00a0 Only one more sleep, and then she snuggled in even closer and whispered again…..mmmmm you’re so warm…)\u00c2\u00a0 Ahhhhhhhhh, he’s so sweet…..<\/p>\n Okay, and now that I’ve given you all way too\u00c2\u00a0 much of a mental picture of me this morning, shall we talk about sweet hot monkey loving….no…..you’re not really into that right now???….I’m not either, but I’m really trying to distract you…is it working?<\/p>\n Moving on…..It’s…ummmmm…..10pm here, and I’m not packed AT ALL, and I’m feeling a little bit panicky about it, but we’re leaving our house at 11am tomorrow, and i figure that while I’m being all spontaneous I might as well just go full throttle and just throw some stuff in a bag and hope for the best when I get there. (Me planning a plane trip with two kids with one weeks notice is terrible spontaneous, if you don’t know that about me, then you dont’ know me at all…..Typically I’d plan for 3 or more months for something like this…so this is ALL NEW TERRITORY for me.)<\/p>\n And so in the spirit of honesty, NO, I’m not packed, but I’ve been thinking about stuff that I need to take and while that’s not exactly the same as doing it, It’s not quite the same as flying by the seat of my pants……but, i really should get busy, ’cause speaking of monkeys…..Jon’s calling me.<\/p>\n Talk to you next from the wild snowy wasteland of Prince George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ….except I do know when I’ll be back again.
