• vacation

  So by now I think most of you have figured out that I am on "vacation" in southern Alabama while Cody is in India.   For the most part it feels like a vacation but yet in some ways not.  You see I still have Caleb & Cecilia with me......which means I am still needing to be the mom........I made them bring their school work, because we homeschool........so I need to keep them on task............I brought along my work laptop............because life goes on at work even if I am on a vacation.......there are still sale bills, postcards and business cards to design................that's my job...............so I continue on........working on my laptop....... fielding calls from customers....................trying to ignore phone calls from credit card proccessors who want our business  (how in the world did they get my cell phone number, Dad?)..............but I have had a vacation at the same time....... went to the beach at Gulf Shores..........lazed around the house...........no meals to prepare (thanks to Ann) .........my laundry washed dried and folded (thanks to Ann & Heidi) ................fun times visiting with Ann, Heidi & Sophia......................I have mowed all of Ann's yard (only took me about 4 1/2 hours)  but this is something I love to do..............we hauled stuff to a local thrift store............we  have helped update profile pics on facebook.........hooked up a TV/DVD combo at the nursing home for my father-in-law........shopped ......shopped......shopped.......went out to eat many many times..........went bowling.................played with the Wii...................went out to eat with Heidi and a group from church and then watched the movie Courageous...................and the days have flown by.....now here it is Wednesday......have texted back and forth with Cody who has landed in Newark...........and this afternoon I get to pick up the first half of my firstborns!................I am so looking forward to seeing what he thought of his first trip over seas.......the mission trip in general......the orphanage.....the bed bugs........the food.........the sights................the snake charmer................and so on......so as our vacation winds down......we still have a few things to pack into a few more days........the beach,  the Shrimp Basket,   ...................and whatever else Cody wants to do.............it's been fun......but it will also be good toget home to that hubby of mine........I think he misses me! ......I know I miss him.......missing Chancy also........
