MinnesotanMommy's Journal

Well, I've been moving like a maniac all day. I started at 4 AM and took maybe a half hour total of sleep in the time I did lay down. I'm not manic at all...NO WAY! I'm wiped out, achy from bending too much. I've been doing laundry steady to get every little thing finished before I leave for Ohio! I'm on my last load...in the washer now. YAY! I'm nearly totally packed and having the flight jitters, as I call them, worrying that my bag will be too heavy, etc...just piddly junk. My sister told me to quit worrying. LOL. I've got a checked bag full and the carry on full plus my purse of stuff that I always carry on me. Some things I get to leave there tho, thankfully. The wild rice, the Kool-Aid (SF) I'll probably leave there, a dress that my sister asked me to bring back to her cuz she keeps forgetting it. So yeah. I'm nervous about the whole ticket --> seating process. I'll be okay I think. I leave tomorrow around 1:30 with my friend. We go to her daughter's graduation, then we head to the cities (or close to it) to stay at her friend's house over night, then her and her boyfriend will take me to the airport in the morning (Saturday) and off I go on my new adventure! EEK! I know we get to go to an amusement park at some point, we're getting a make over done by a Mary Kay consultant, my sister is having her starter show for Party Lite (fun, fun!!!), umm...church a couple of those days and who knows what else. Oh...I have to run to a Walmart and get Ethan a Bakugun. I kinda promised him I'd get one while I was there. Umm...ran to the chiropractor, saw my SIL, had a chai tea lattee with vanilla (VERY good!), umm...at some of a hawaiian pizza, washed dishes, did I mention I've been at laundry most of the time I've been home?...oh and did I mention I did dishes (constantly doing them so I stay caught up). Umm...just have to sweep, mop and vacuum tomorrow before I leave and I think I've got this place in order for my leaving, and any last minute dishes. So...I'm officially blowing this joint tomorrow about 1:30 PM! WHOA! Our kitty, Zoey (think around 2 1/2 months) decided to climb under our bed while I was packing and attempted to attack my feet twice. Cute. Yeah, not! Too bad she's so damn cute or I'd have to really give her hell. I did yell at her and swat at her once and she took off on me, just like I was hoping to get her to do. Holy cow I just scared the hell outta both my mama cats and Zoey kitty...Zoey was attempting to nurse on Buddy (older mama) and I woke Buddy into a sitting position, Zoey jumped back and looked at me and poor Tanna (my big baby--1 yr old) woke up from a sound sleep in my recliner to see what was going on. Haha. Cats. Oh, Tanna had to move to the wooden chest we use for blankets. Funny. Oh gosh could I narrorate some aventures here. Sheesh...and that's only with 2 cats. Zoey took off and Buddy followed her. I'ma have to give Zoey a time out this next time she attempts (yes, you can give a cat a time out people!). I made a pan of brownies (Carl comes home from work saying he's in charge of treats tomorrow so I told him he's just getting brownies cuz I have too much to do to sit and bake cookies or anything and he said that was fine) and I'm trying out a new cheese scalloped corn recipe I found in my recipe booklet thing. Not so good for me, but I also eat it so very very rarely. Anyhow...I'm just babbling. Little Stroller (yes, her name is Stroller) is sitting there playing by herself...dumb Zoey (I love her dearly tho!) is likely nursing again so I better go pull her off and give her hell again. Ugg...I am raising some kind of animal house with these 4 cats (1 that goes in and out). Off I go...and if I don't update while I'm in Ohio (might or might not depending on time), have a great upcoming week my friends!
