if i had a private jet

If I had a private jet we wouldn't have had to drive from Tx to SLC for Christmas spending the night in Albuquerque on our way.

If I had a private jet we wouldn't of driven to Rawlins, WY, had the roads be closed, reroute to Casper, WY, scare our selves half to death, pull over at the Holiday Inn at 2:00 a.m. and wake up to have the roads closed to Denver until 4:00 p.m. that afternoon.

If I had a private jet we wouldn't have had to drive from 4:00 p.m. straight to 12:00 p.m. the next day to reach Little Rock to drop the kids off at Grams then drive another 5 hours to arrive in Dallas at 8:00 p.m.

If I had a private jet we wouldn't be dog tired trying to pack up our house and move the office all on the same day.

Intermission - Awesome going away party with friends that know what it means to be great friends.  Friends for life.

Back to that jet - more tired packing.  this time with Wyatt's help.  Off to by lunch for the movers.  Who is that parking in front of my house?  Awe Heidi, thanks for the cookies.  Sorry you couln't make it last night!  Your family is awesome.  6:00 p.m. my stuff is heading down the street on a big truck.

Intermission - Awesome Christmas party.  We are thankful we had a place to go to dinner.  Far cry from boxed pizza.  Did I mention the prime rib?  Off to the hotel.  No bed at home.

Wish I had that jet - Cleaning day.  More friends stop by to wish us well.  Thanks - we will miss you...
My house smells like poop.  Where is Ava?  .....  She is with Gram.  Oh yeah, Wyatt's painting.  It reaks.  I am shampooing the carpets.  Dang that stain!!

Haven't had lunch today.  Off to return the toll tags.  No toll pass now, have to take the side streets to return the cable modem.  Stop in at the leasing office to drop off the keys... They closed at noon.  Should have called.  I guess I will mail the stuff back.  Now to pick up the tow trailer for the car.  Raining harder now.  I guess we'll eat dinner.

If I had a private jet I wouldn't now be driving 5 hours to get my kiddos.  Thanks Gram for hanging out with them for the past 4 days.  We couldn't have done it otherwise.

If I had that jet I wouldn't have to spend the next two days driving to FL.

If I had that jet I would probably be rich and this would not be my tale.  12 states in two weeks.  Enough said.

Good Bye TEXAS - We'll miss ya'll

More Ants

The area is being overtaken by giant chocolate chips or there is a serious ant situation going on. I was totally heebee jeebed yesterday on the way to the store. everywhere you looked was mound after ant mound. Under the base of almost every tree, all over the fields and medians. Some are just huge and others medium and small. from a distance it looks like chocolate chips have been scattered all over. it's like ant condo communities are springing up. i am still bitter about my ant bites from last week. wyatt wants to knock 'em all over.

rain day

friday we were out in the driveway riding bikes. dark clouds began rolling in from the west. we watched the edge of the storm as it moved towards the house. it was hot out so it was fun for the kids to feel the drop in temperature as the clouds moved over the house. once it started to sprinkle we moved inside the garage to watch rain. at first frank tried to count the drops on the driveway. very soon the entire driveway was wet and then the wind picked up. it was coming down so hard we could watch the wind blow the sheets of rain through the air and waves ripple down the street. the kids were itching to get wet. after the storm settled down i finally gave in and let them go jump in the puddles. the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared. we had a great afternoon.
