I am attempting something this week that no single mother in her right mind should ever attempt. It involves.....
*all of my children (I think there were about 100 at last count?)
*lots of walking
*lots of carrying stuff
*and then mandatory sitting still for THREE hours,
even though I am fully aware that only 1 of my 4 boys
is capable of accomplishing such a feat for more than 8 minutes...
***this*** is the reason why my blog has been suffering. And my blog reading/commenting has been suffering

BECAUSE
It takes a lot of work to keep myself dancing about in the realm of insanity, and frankly--that's the only way I'm going to get through this. Insanity.....and Benadryl.
I'm doing it for the children......may the force be with me!
(I WILL be have a pre-scheduled post up at Angie's blog on Friday though, so look for me then and there! )

Oh I'M SO GLAD you've been slacking LIKE ME!!!! I was so worried I was hurting your feelings by not checking in lately!
Man...did I need to center!
Anyway....this is my first day back, and of course, you've got me captivated! What could it possibly be......gasp!
I KNOW!.....
I think....
OH MY....
HAVE FUN!
Wow...what if I'm WAY OFF, but it must involve a trip on an airplane.....
I can't wait to hear more!
Jen
I'm pretty sure I know what you're doing because it sounds exactly like something we just did with our 4 children and it was a crazy time. Can't wait to find out more!
Can't wait to hear more!

You always leave us hanging like this. :) We love you anyhow, and I'm there with you on being a blogger slacker this week but it is right.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM... a pioneer trek? NO, couldn't be that... you must tell!
May the force be with you and have SO MUCH FUN!!! Can't wait for pictures, so don't forget the camera.
Could it be a plane trip to HCMM? I bet your boys will love Cali. Your excuse for slacking is so much better than mine.
Oh I can't wait to see what it is! I've got some guesses up my sleeve. While you may be crazy, I'm sure you'll have a great/fun time. Make the best of it! I know you will :-)
Sounds insane and awesome! I hope it all continues to go well!
I have no idea what you are doing but it sounds like quite a chore. Haha! Good luck!
sounds like craziness. let us know is we can be of assistance to you in pushing something or watching anything or holding your place or grabing grub or whatever.
I think it is what we did last December. We met a friend there with her three small children ages 6, 4, 2. (and without her husband) And it WAS crazy. . .but we had great fun and got great pictures. If THAT is what you are doing, you ARE brave and I hope HCMM is going to be there to help you out.
Okay, I read your post 3 times now, and scrolled through the comments, and I do think I know what you're doing. I hope you have fun and that the Benadryl works. :) And please come back! To your blog, I mean, which, you can blog from anywhere. Hint, hint. ;)
HAVE FUN!! I want to go....but 6,4,3,1 and pregnant doesn't sound like the "prefect timing!"
Someday.......
I will have to calculate flight times from your area but I have a good guess.
Ooh...my prayers are with you my friend.
Much luck!
I finally found your blog..again! I've read a lot of your previous posts and have enjoyed them all.
I can only guess you are taking your cute little family to see someone special!
Hmmmmm. I have an idea. Can't wait to see if I'm right.
Good luck with your travels!
you are either walking to church on Sunday or taking a trip to Disneyland (the sitting being the plane ride)
it has been pretty hot down here...
Oh...I love a good cliffhanger! Here's hoping you have some fantastic Jedi mind tricks up your sleeves!
Sounds like a family trip! I'm sure the destination will make the trip getting there be a distant memory...Hopefully.
Can't wait to read more!
my suggestion to you (since i know what it is you're doing and have done and am now wishing that i had read your post a lot earlier) is: protable DVD player....life-saver for long trips. and the car in the sky is a great place to use that puppy---so sorry.
have LOTS AND LOTS of FUN!
Man, I hear ya. My blog has been suffering in a major bad way...wait, hasn't it always? hee hee! Hope you have ONE GREAT BIG TIME whatever and wherever you are going ;) I love ya...and your blog...no matter how many or how little posts there are :) HAVE FUN my Friend :)
Tell Hot Debbie Cakes Man I said "HOWDY!" And I cannot wait to hear all about it!
p.s. Jennifer, please check out my blog for great news on red shoes... yours are my inspiration.
Some kind of hike...but then the sitting still throws me off. A hike that then involves a 3-hour canoe trip or rafting trip????
Whatever it is, hope you survive!
I've been slacking too. I like to come over here and not feel bad about myself for that. We can slack together. :)
Hello There...thanks for the font ideas. Please tell me the Benadryl is for inducing sleep on smallish people.
