Crazy is as crazy does around here lately. Everything is on full tilt as usual, but I am also trying to get vacation planning underway. This year I have two trips I am taking alone, one day trip to a double (!!) baby shower and then I will fly to California this summer to see one of those mamas after she has her baby. I have been waiting, oh almost 25 years for this, so I am over the moon excited. The bonus is I am going alone so I can just spend time with my friend, her family and her new addition. Bliss.
We also need to plan a family trip for summer, I am thinking beach. We have a trip to NH scheduled for a graduation, we will then stop in NJ to see some of the hubby's family and then I will need to take the youngest three and go to NC and get my big girls who will fly to NC with my parents from NH. Whew!
Finally I think it is about time that Ryan and I get the heck out of here for a little R&R. My parents are willing to watch the tribe, so we are looking for a trip in October, and I am thinking we are going to need passports. So excited to get away with my husband for a nice trip alone.
I also feel I must comment on this: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/02/15/preschool-replaces-students-turkey-sandwich-with-chicken-nuggets-due-to/
Seriously. That was a perfectly good lunch for a child and they replaced it with scraps of over processed meat bits mixed with preservatives, chemicals and fillers? Um, yeah they would have seen my wrath if they did that. My kids often take turkey and cheese sammies, a fruit, a healthy snack and a sweet snack to school, that is our lunch setup. Many of the products are whole grain and/or organic, so would they take that away and give them nuggets? Terrible situation and I cannot believe anyone thought that jun food was a replacement for the healthy meal the parent packed. This is the problem in America, too much emphasis on what the government tells us we need and not enough simple common sense.
