But I'm not. My stomach hurts. I think it was the Taco Bell or the spicy buffalo shrimp from Popeyes. I'm trying to plan out what to wear. It's supposed to be mid 60s and rainy most of the time we are there. Ok, actually, I think all of the time. But still, it's England, I would be disappointed after watching movies about rainy England my entire life only to be welcomed by heat and sunshine. It should make for a decent hair week, as my curly hair actually does better in humid weather. Guess we'll see when I post the pictures this time next week.
So yes, I suppose I'll sign off for now. Start making my lists and checking 'em twice. Maybe even pack a thing or two. Or I'll watch a movie with Steve and pack in the morning. Heh.
But I'm not. There are no children bickering over what tv show to watch, no children knocking at my door asking if they can open a new box of cereal, no children clanging around in the kitchen making themselves breakfast. Nope, I just can't sleep. Steve is sleeping away. I am not. Not that I'm bitter or anything. Perhaps it's the excitement of our upcoming trip. I haven't checked the news today. I'm kinda of afraid to with all that was going on in London yesterday. We aren't going to change our plans, but maybe we'll spend a little time in the English countryside instead of in London. Heh.
I need to run to the store to buy toilet paper. We are down to less than a half a roll. I was just at Target yesterday buying all sorts of last minute "must have" items and completely forgot toilet paper. I blame it on whoever set up the store. It's all hidden in a corner by the frozen food. Seriously, who hides the paper goods in a corner by the frozen food?
It time for me to go catch up on blogs start packing for London. So I better throw a pot of coffee on and grab something to eat so I have the energy to get everything done.
Steve has posted a link to a quiz about surviving a zombie attack. I'm too lazy to copy and paste the link and little graphic that goes with it. Plus the graphic has a bad word on it and I wouldn't want my blog to go from G rated to PG!
So basically, it says that if and when zombies attack I will be the annoying person that waits for someone to save me, then is too terrified to do anything. So yeah, basically, I'm a hinderance. Actually, I've already thought this one out and plan on letting one bite me so I can just be a wandering zombie myself. It looks like more fun than being holed up in some building waiting for food to run out and die of starvation anyway!
Found this on the Explore Page on Little Miao's blog. I'm pathetic. Maybe I should go to rehab!
The grass is scorched, my flowers are withering, and not a drop of rain in sight. Strangely, I keep hearing thunder. It teases me into thinking perhaps a good thunderstorm is headed our way, but when I go outside, I see white clouds and blue skies. Seriously, I just want to be able to go barefoot in my own grass! Of course, according to weather.com, London will be cool with a 60% chance of rain 3 out of the 4 days we are there. Doesn't do my poor yard any good and it won't do my tempermental curly hair any good either! Expect some really bad hair pictures from the trip.
Ok, back to packing. I have the 3 kids that are going to the beach with their father packed. Now onto the 2 kids that are going to NC and TX with their mother!
Hmm, I woke up this morning with Steve. I finally remembered to buy coffee and bread. I was avoiding going grocery shopping since we are all leaving this week. So I got up and made him coffee and his lunch. Now I've been up since 6:30am. I've had a cup of coffee. Should I stay up, or should I go lay back down for an hour or two til the kids get up? Such a hard decision. It's so peaceful and quiet right now. This house hasn't been this peaceful upon my waking since the kids were let out of school for the summer. I think I'll grab my bible, head out back and enjoy some quiet moments.
