The dreaded "thanks, but no thanks" letter. The police don't want me. I think I have a bad reference, and I think I know where it's coming from. Now I'm back on the hunt.
The trip was nice. Although it was for a sad occasion, we had a great time. Saw lots of family, took loads of pictures. Was able to get a cheese steak (yay) and go to our favorite eateries.
We got back from Philly on Monday, and we picked up two kids along the way. My friend Ayana is in the hospital, so I have her two girls. They've been pretty good since they've been here. The house is a mess, though. We still have unpacking to do, and I have lots of washing. There was no machine where we stayed, so we came home with loads of dirty clothes. Also, the 3 year old wasn't feeling well, and she made it known in a BIG way while driving home yesterday. She's feeling much better now. Lawrence cleaned the van (we have Ayana's van) very well - can't even tell anything happened.
The kids are happy to be back in school - they missed their friends. Lawrence goes back to work today, so it's just going to be me and the girls for the week.
I'm getting Bri's Sweet 16 together. I have to find a venue, then I'll send out the invites. Send me your addresses.
OH! I started a Shutterfly picture site. http://thewanderingnomadspics.shutterfly.com is the address. Right now I'm uploading pictures from the weekend, and if you're a member, you'll get updates when I add pictures. I think this is easier than trying to send invites to everybody.
Well, back to clothes washing and house cleaning. Will get back to you guys later.
