Destin-ation Unknown

If you listen closely you can hear me putting my Wonder Woman outfit away...why?...because we made it! What you ask? Keith's 8-day departure is what and we lived to tell!! It was an arduous and relentless trip for him, but he came back with a brain full of skillz to pay da billz. And, as for us...we kept busy, which is not hard for me to do. I mean, have you been around a 3 year old boy and a 1 year old boy?!?! We even squeezed in an Astros game (Me, Kale, Justin and Nathan...sorry KD). It's nice to have KD home. While he was gone, both of my hands had a tight grip on this life of ours here at home...now, I can let go a little and put one hand in his. It's so nice to see your smile KD, oh how I missed it!

*Update: We totally got drunk (on wine, does that count? No? I didn't think so.) and watched The Bachelorette last night. It was a doozie! Oh, DeAnna...he was a weirdo, but now look what you have left! They need to incorporate a "DEAL" option, like Solitaire, so she can start over. She had slim pickins' IMO. Maybe it can stay interesting...

As soon as Keith got back we both shared a big sigh of relief and our thoughts met when we confirmed that, yeah...we could use a vacation. Don't tell Kale, but school is already cramping our style.
Our hopes of a 2nd annual Labor Day trip to Destin, FL is looming in the near future. Because for the love of everything holy, pictures like this one (above), haunt me when I lay my head on my pillow. But, now we have to figure in his school. Bah. Kale may just go to his first day of school reaking of day old sunblock, a backpack full of sand and parents in desperate need of a nap. I hope they won't hold it against him.
