A Good Excuse

Just in case you wanted something to make you happy, you should know that a week from today I will be packing. Charlotte and I will be taking a week long vacation to San Diego!!!! We leave a week from tomorrow to go to Yuma Great Grandma Jane's house to see Great Grandpa Mel for a night and then we'll drive on into San Diego. How exciting! We can't wait!

Then when we get back Daddy gets a week long Spring Break! YEAH! A whole week with nothing to do but have fun! Since Daniel hasn't seen much of St. Louis due to the fact that he's studying all the time, we'll be having our own St. Louis vacation.



(I realize now that this might not make you happy, but it sure does make me happy! YEAH!)

Check

I really should have known better!  A word to the wise, when you're running late to catch your flight home from vacation at your parents' house, your husband should always check the areas that you packed and you should always check his.  If, say, you are in charge of packing the things we left in their office and he doesn't do one last check before you leave you might have your glasses left behind.  That's OK, I think I just wear contacts or squint for four weeks until we go back.  If, then, he is in charge of packing the bathroom items and you do not do a final check before running out the door you might find out once you're home that he left:

• your facial cleanser
  
• your razor
  
• your favorite lip balm
  
• your hair spray
  
• your mousse
  
• your hair dryer
  
• your curling iron
  

It's going to be an interesting four weeks.  Does anyone else realize that it's just my stuff we left?  Luckily I have some cleanser (which I don't like as much), and we can have a designated blade for me on my husband's razor, but I think I'm going to have to go buy more mousse and hair spray.
