A very loud TGIF this Friday. It really has been a week. I have a very long to-do list this weekend. Next adult weekend we are leaving for the beach. There are always a million things to do before and after vacation..at home and work. Still worth it.5 kids this year with my nieces and nephew. Don't think my brother is going to be able to go and my sister-in-law is the opposite of energetic so I will be doing a lot of kid chasing. I'll be tired when I get back but it will be fun..and I'll have a tan. Told the kids this year that we could do something different. Actually could do just about anything..go anywhere. Not suprising that they wanted to go to the same place we go every year. We have stayed in the same beach house for the last 10 yrs and they love it there. I do too. There is something very comforting about the familiar..and routines.  One of the reason why divorce is so hard. So many things change. Eventually you get settled into the new routine. Thats about where I am at now. Not a bad place to be. Off to a busy day.
