Back home again

Can't believe that it's already Jan. 18, 2006 (need to keep writing that so I'll eventually get the year right). Have been through a whirlwind of activity since last post. Spent xmas in DC with oldest son and family and helped them move on Dec. 27. Yes, the trucks pulled up that morning and started carting things out as we were still madly packing boxes. Of course, Amanda (age 5) had the stomach flu that day and we had to actually pick her up from the family room couch so the movers could take it. This should have been no surprise to anyone as her 3-year-old sister had the same flu the week before and actually threw up on her sister's head in the middle of the night --- ughhhhhh!
Well, we got to Michigan, moved them in and promptly turned around and went to Disney World for a week to watch Mom run the Disney Marathon on Jan. 8. She did really well and we were all very proud of her. Had a fun and hectic week in Disney and returned to PA last Saturday, after spending a night in Chicago when my flight was cancelled. That's never too bad though because I get to spend the night with my cousin who lives there.
So-----back to a somewhat normal routine. Am seeing the eye doctor today because I lost my trifocals sometime in mid-December. They are NOT in this house or anywhere I might have been during that time - very frustrating. My husband lost his good watch in the same timeframe, but he lucked out. A week or so ago he found it in the economy size bag of toilet paper when he went to the garage to get a new four-pack. My only comment when he joyfully called to tell me this was, "Were my glasses in there?" Of course not!
Having lunch now with my good friend whom I haven't seen since before xmas - ttyl.
