We’re on the second day of our 3 day drive to Florida. We didn’t make it as far as we planned yesterday, a late start and a carsick boy saw to that. After spending an hour at a rest area in Pennsylvannia we were able…

So I’m not really sure what happened to Stacy this week. Last I heard she was going to the gym.

Things have been pretty quiet over here at BMB because we were on a little vacation. We went back to Massachusetts to visit family and friends, oh, and eat. Ya, we ate and ate. I love visiting family.

Within 2 days of arriving back in my hometown, I lost the use of the letter R in such words as pair, peppermint and lobster, which became paih, peppahmint and lobstah. I’m working on finding my R’s again now that I’m home. No promises.

Capri pants on guys? Creepy! Ya, I’m talking about you, weird rest area dude!

When we stop at rest areas, I am always in awe of those women that don’t look like they’ve been traveling in a crowded car for hours with kids and dogs and are walking a razor edge between Crazy Town and Insaneville. They’re the ones that don’t have messy hair and lines imprinted on their faces from sleeping against the seat-belt. Guess which category I fall into.

Yesterday was my birthday and tomorrow is Sissy’s birthday. I had to work last night because I wanted to have tomorrow night off. The supah (no R) people I work with got me a birthday cake and believe me, if there was ever a night we needed some chocolate cake, it was last night. I brought home what was left. When I finally got home, everyone was still up and my husband and Sissy had made my favorite cake ever! Hot milk cake with mocha frosting! They had looked up the recipe in my cookbook, but I’ve used it so much the writing was faded so they called my mom and got the recipe. I was supah surprised and it was just the sweetest thing. Tomorrow I’ll be baking another cake that will be a chocolate, egg-free cake with mocha frosting for Sissy’s birthday. We have some serious cake at our house. Sissy said if anyone comes over they’ll think we’re cake-a-holics. There are definitely worse things to be.

My next big adventure is just around the corner and I can’t wait! As much as I’d love to go to Blogher this year, I’ve got some bigger plans!

I’ll say Hi to the Mouse for you!

Don’t forget to link up and join us for What The Hell Wednesday tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll find Stacy before then or it’ll be a whole WTHW all about her.

 

 

5 More Weeks, 5 More Weeks, 5 More Weeks

5 More Weeks, 5 More Weeks, 5 More Weeks

I’ve been repeating this over and over in my head.  I have 5 more weeks left of my medical leave until I will be allowed to go back to work.  And there are 5 more weeks until the kids go back to school.  I was…

Wordful Wednesday~Beach Time

   Before we went to Disney, we spent a couple of days at my MIL’s in Jensen Beach.  It was great to have some down time after driving 1200 miles in 2 days.  Sissy got in some boogie boarding at the beach.   She loved…
