Larry leaves tomorrow morning for somewhere Texas. To play GI Joe meets M*A*S*H for 10 days. Living in a tent and learning advanced war trama treatment or something like that. And those of you who've heard our family discussion on camping.. I think it'd be a fun family vacation near nature. His idea of camping requires a camper or RV and electricity/hookups, etc.. See- God still has His sense of humor.
And because we fired the nanny, we ALL will be going to the airport at 5 am tomorrow. Yeah, I know. Bad timing. But THIS is the life I'm used to- dragging the kids everywhere with me and wishing I had a nickle for every time people stare and ask 'are they all yours?!'
I'm working on the perfect comeback line- something along the lines of yeah, we have 6 angels..oh, wait.. I'm missing 2... and then start running in circles yelling the names of fictitious kids #5 and 6..
but I'm sure that'd be the image I should be leaving with those people stunned at a family with more than 2 kids. And I'm sure that's what I want my kids to remember growing up- "gee, back in the days before they medicated mom, she did all sorts of weird stuff- imagining other kids, yelling, running in circles..."
