I really have nothing to say right now. well except (you knew that I couldn't not say something, hell, I can't remember the last time I was at a loss for words) Well there was that time at the pool during swimming lessons when the, ahem, larger woman was snapping pictures of her kid jumping off of the diving board in a sarong. What's sarong with that you ask ? I'm preeeeetty sure she wasn't wearing anything under her sarong ! aaaaand, she didn't seem to mind when the wind would kick up just a bit and wisp one flap of her sarong open. (I can't...no I can't relive this...you'll just have to go on in your own minds without me)
We went to a funeral of a good friend today. He was 41 years old. There is never a good enough reason that people are taken from us so young.
We were getting ready for it this morning. Dressed in our fanciest pants and shirt that can also be paired up with a nice necklace to be worn at a wedding (or 2)....I hear a conversation start between Syd and J.
Syd : "Mommy J, are you a boy or a girl ? cuz sometimes I can't tell.....and I think, is she a boy ? or is she a girl ? and then I get all confused and think, should I call her daddy ? Daddeeee. but that's not right. ha ha ha so I think, no, I'll just call her Mommy J. so. are you a boy or a girl ?" (followed up with lots of giggling)
J : "you're funny Syd. I'm even dressed in my girliest clothes today"
Syd : "hmm"
We leave tomorrow for our 2nd journey to visit the west coast. It's going to be GORGEOUS weather. 78 all week long. We didn't get to hit the beach last time we were there (too cold) so we are making it a point to hit it a few times this trip.
Remember when I gave you pointers on Disneyland and yadda yadda. I wanted to suggest something else to think about when planning trips.
We decided this time to rent a home. It is the same price as our hotel would be, and granted would have the kitchen and 2 bedrooms. but it also had the elevator and stairs and people above and below us that I worried were going to kill us because the kids were being so noisy.
Now we have a backyard (fully fenced) a washer and dryer, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a garage. to put the kids in when they are acting up :) ha ha hmm hmm.
We tried to find a house with a pool, but booking it a week before we were leaving and it being a holiday weekend...there was just no way. so book in advance
Nice right ?!
We have babysitters lined up to come to the house so that we can go to the wedding reception (he's marrying in the mormon temple and we people aren't allowed there) which is going to be dinner served and on the beach. aaaaaah. now if there was going to be an open bar. it might just be a PERFECT night out :)
Speaking of babysitters...that is where the 2nd funeral comes in. No. my children did not kill the babysitter. but her dad just succumbed to cancer after fighting for less than a year. She has a little brother who's 11 and a sister in college. Much too young to live the rest of their lives without their dad. We will be in California during the funeral.
I have had the WORST fucking week with my kids. I told J that I'd rather just leave them home and us go. She comforted me with the fact that we will have a swimming pool (there is one that the neighbors share as part of their association) we will be having fun, (we are going to Adventure City and the San Diego wild animal park), and don't forget the beach. PLUS. my wife will be with me every single second and that's 2 against 5 which is MUCH better than 5 against 1. which with twins, let alone 2 sets, most days feels like 59 against 1.
We haven't packed yet....we had to get the kids to bed...and then I of course needed to blog a whole lot of rambling crap. :)
Just think. I'll be posting pictures of SUPER happy people real real soon !
Happy Trails !
