It's been so long since I have logged on here. I have been crazy busy with work and the kids. But then when I have any down time at all I rarely even check my regular email. We've been planning our summer vacation to Montana. I can hardly wait. I need a vacation so bad right now it can't come soon enough. We will be taking a road trip, with all seven of us so that should be interesting. We have taken two mini trips in the last year with all of us, it wasn't to bad. However that only took a few hours there and back. We just went to the St. Louis Zoo on Friday. That was a long drive and the kids had stuff to keep them busy so it wasn't to bad. And the drive was only 2.5 hours or so, not two days like it will be when we drive to Montana. Granted we will be sure that they have more to do than they did for our Zoo trip. We will also be stopping a lot more to see the sites and stuff. We are trying to make it a fun trip for them. On the way back we will be one child less since my oldest will be staying the next year in Montana with her father. However we may end up bringing home a Chinchila that my moms friend is trying to find a home for. We haven't decided for sure if we want one yet or not. I much rather have a shitsu puppy my hubby doesn't want another dog though. So well see on the Chinchila. After we get back I will sort of be having an extended vacation busy my live in babysitter (teenage daughter) will be back in Montana, so till school starts I will have some time off. I will only be working Fridays and Sundays and some possible weekends. I just might get to used to it though and not want to go back to my reg schedule. It will be nice to have time off to spend with the kids and take them to the lake or park and do fun summer activities with the kids. I haven't had that since that first summer my husband and I were married almost two years ago. And before that I never had that. So this will be a great change for me.

I guess I better go I think the cat is trying to escape out the back screen door. He's firgured out if he jumps up just right he can unlock the latch and if he jumps more it will open. Have a great rest of the weekend.
