I know, I KNOW. It’s only August, but on Friday my Mother In Law called me and told us they had booked their place in Arizona for the winter and will be leaving right after Christmas. They won’t be home until April, which SUCKS. All spring summer and fall, hubs and I get used, really, REALLY used to having at least two nights kid free a month and then when they leave, well, it’s hard not having those nights!

My only hope is that unless they can find some cheap insurance to act as intermittent insurance – their other insurance, the year round stuff is only good for 45 days outside the country, so they either need to get an intermittent insurance for the rest of the vacation in the States, or they will try and find some cheap flights home and do some laundry AND babysit the boys over night.

I am really really hoping that the flights will be cheaper than getting more insurance to cover the gap. Once they have been home for 24 hours, then all will be OK, insurance wise, and DUDE, I will have gotten a kid free night.

Cross your fingers for me please!

Today was spent mostly on my feet, which sucks monkey balls because my leg is super duper sore from my stitches. We had shopping to do, which went well, we found nearly everything we were looking for. When we got home, after the groceries were put away, I took a short break to harvest my super berries on Farm Ville – A facebook game.

I say short break because I had a house that needed cleaning for a barbecue and over night guest that was coming the next day. when my aunt originally called asking if she could spend the night on her way through I immediately agreed, excited for the chance to catch up, then I remembered that I was getting stitches and OMG how was I supposed to clean the house?

Luckily hubs and the boys stepped in to help and it got done. Or should I say “Doneish”. In the morning I have floors to sweep, a rig to vacuum and hamburgers for the BBQ to make.

Sigh.

I am curious to see what my aunt  looks like. see, while I dream of weight loss supplements that magically melt off my fat, my aunt had a gall stone attack and nearly died from being so over weight. She woke up and realized her life was in danger and has lost 120 pounds, the “other” way. (Look away! I’m gonna say a dirty word in the next sentence!) She actually exercised it all off!

She has had a tummy tuck, but with the amount of weight she has lost she told me over the phone she still needs her arms, legs and breasts worked on to get rid of the extra skin.
