Day late and a dollar short!

Okay Okay.....So it's Wednesday and not Teusday.....shoot me as lately I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached to me!!!!

I miss Kairi so much guys....Just got off the phone with Manisa...Kairi had her shots yesterday and I wanted to see how she was handling it...She's cranky but that's about it...Tiny fever as well...

As far as the trip went...It was nice but I don't think I would do it all in a day again....It was long!!!!! And to boot the day before I left I felt tired and sure enough come the morning I was to leave it was a full blown head and chest cold....UGH! Try driving with that! Walmart Daytime cold in hand, lots of soda's and cough drops and we were on our way....We actually made good time considering all the stops we made to let Kairi have time out of the car seat...Mapquest put the trip at 13 1/2 hours and we made it in 14...Pulled into Patrick's about 7pm with leaving at 5am that morning...Made a trip to Super Walmart (It's only 5 minutes from his apartment) to get stuff...He's a guy and had not going shopping....had all guy stuff in the bathroom and for Manisa and I ....that so would not do! Didn't make that a long trip as I knew that both Manisa and I would be heading there in the am to do major shopping...This was just for shampoo and stuff...plus Nyquil so I could knock myself out as I felt like total crap! The cold preceded to hang on for the entire time I was there which was a bummer as it made me really not want to go anywhere...

So needless to say in the AM the next day...it had really settled into my chest...UGH again! But we trudged forward and Manisa and I headed back up to Wally World to go food shopping...and also ended up buying hanger's galore and towels....Patrick evidently thought having only 2 towels to his name would suffice...Not so!!!! hahahaha....I bought him 6 more bath towels and washclothes...After that I pretty much stayed home and stayed on the cough nursing Orange Juice and cooking all Patrick's favorite dinners...Made sure I made plenty so they would have lots left over....I had a really great time all in all....Patrick told me I could stay (With a smile on his face!) and keep right on cooking! hahaha...They are starter cooks but I am sure they will make thier way just fine...If any of you guys have quick and easy meals....Feel free to email them to me....Directions do need to be very precise (Starter cooks remember???)
Patrick tries to eat manly chicken and fish but will have pork and red meat on occasion (he can actually make hamburget helper)

At any rate....Like I said I had a wonderful time...I hated leaving Kairi, Manisa and Patrick monday...I really did....Made Patrick drop me off at the terminal so he didn't see me ball my eyes out...while they are still debating about Manisa comeing back in September...I am really hoping she does...She going to try to do her best to send photos and video but I know Kairi keeps her hopping...

The flight home was uneventful as well but I hated the layover in D.C....but thankfully I had brought Patrick's portable DVD player so it wasn't a total loss...I got into DC about 12 noon and my next flight didn't leave until 3pm...so I sat my butt down with "The Exorcist-The beginning" for a horror show it was actually pretty okay...Ending was not the best...could have been better...but it kept me busy for the 2 1/2 hours I needed to keep busy...

But let me tell you guys I came home to a mess! OMG....MEN! You could tell he was a confirmed bachelor for the time I was gone! (Especially over the weekend when the kids were gone!) Laundry was overflowing, house work piled up...since I was still not feeling good this didn't sit well with me...the other thing was Asha...Mike and I have racked our brains to think of what she could have possibly gotten into but Mike let me know that Sunday she had diarrhea in a major way...sounded like she exploded everwhere....She was absolutly pitiful when I saw her...She knew something was wrong...and she still had it in a bad way...Put her on the brat diet and it seemed to somewhat get better (kinda like 1/4 better) but it never quite went away...Took her to the Vet's on Monday...The Doc said they had been seeing this alot lately...even with indoor dogs and gave her some medicine...Happy to say she's perking up and has that happy ol grin back....My poor Miss "Center of the Universe" (yes Steph she still is!) Asha is my baby...no doubt about that...Lisa, Steph and Stacy all know how I feel about that little dust mop I have...She was well aware that she wasn't supposed to be messing in the house but she also knew that she couldn't help herself...She always had this little pitiful look on her....But she's back to being bright and happy again! All is right in her world...Just gotta keep giving her the medicine for the rest of the week....


So that's basically it in my world...We had part of the migration of my department at the beginning of the month so now it's just me and another co-worker and my desk is a mess....And on that note!!!! BACK TO WORK WITH ME! hahahaha


Take care all!

Hmmm. Maybe you ought to think about writing a new law -- something along the lines of "kids can move away, but grandkids can't." *wink*

I'm sure there are other grandparents out there that would agree with you. *grin*

Glad to hear your trip went well. Saying goodbye is always the hard part.

Here's hoping Asha is better now. I hate it when animals are sick.

Glad you made it back safe and sound. And don't worry Granny, I have a feeling you will play a big part in that baby girl's life.
