Hi, Kids. I’ve been post-dating my Writing Business posts, because I was TOTALLY UNPLUGGED for a WHOLE WEEK. I know. It scared me, too. But as it happens, my life continued very nicely without the internet. (This is true.)
And now we’re home from the Wilhite Family Vacation to the Second Happiest Place on Earth (my Kids informed me today that home is even better than Disneyland, except without Churros and thrilling roller coasters), and as soon as I mow the 13 inches of shaggy backyard grass* tomorrow, I’d love to continue my Writing Business posts. I just didn’t want you to worry about me. (But if you want to, you can worry just a little when I disappear for a while.)
And speaking of disappearing, Kid 2 flies all the way across the country tomorrow morning. By herself. Yikes. She’s excited. And trying to sleep. And wearing her hair braided so she has cutie-patootie waves tomorrow. I’m trying to be the good mom, saying things like “Embrace your adventure” and “Learn many Fine Things,” but under that, I sort of want her to climb in my lap and pretend that she’s three and a half again. But this will be a Grand Experience for all of us, and Yea for the opportunity (and her ability to earn $1000 – I know. She’s a peach.)
*Saturday (last, before the vacation) Husband mowed the front lawn, so there it’s only like seven inches of not-so-shaggy. But it was raining at the time (totally true, too) so he didn’t get to the back yard. I may be out there all day. If you don’t see me by dinner time, send reinforcements.

I had to send out a team to find my hubby in the backyard yesterday. I would have hacked through myself, except for my evil grass allergies.
I am glad you had fun at your reunion. Welcome home.

Welcome home, and I hope the taming of the jungle goes as well as it can! And congrats on unplugging. Haven’t quite got the knack of it myself but I plan to experiment and practice a little this summer. So really…it’s sane on the other side?

Your blog hates me and doesn’t want me to comment. It ate my other one. Sniff.
Or else it’s this new(ly refurbished)laptop I’m using.
The gist of the comment was that my husband loves mowing the yard because it means we have a yard. He’s pretty funny about it. But the other comment was better.

Yikes! Sending your child on their first ‘alone’ trip is hard! And our yard definitely needs a machete. And I would rather stick forks in both of my eyes than ever go to Disneyland again. Just sayin’.

Hey, I was gone all last week too! Good luck on the grass. I have to do mine tonight (It’s so tall…I’m a little scared). =)

Bah. The computer just ate my comment.
The gist of it was that I was gone all alst week, and it rained for two consectuive weeks before that. Which means that in the last few days, we’ve lost a dozen balls, the barbeque grill, the German Shepherd and the toddler in the jungle we call the backyard.
Welcome back. I would probably have computer withdrawl after being unplugged for a week. That probably says something about me…
