Well, we're not going to Italy. Hubby thinks it would be better to spend Thanksgiving here with the children, so here we shall stay. I am terribly disappointed. I love my kids with all my heart, and I would miss them like crazy, but at the same time I hate that we're passing up a pretty good opportunity. [pout] [stamp] [grumble] [throw something] [I didn't really throw anything] [but I wanted to]
Hubby already knows I'm blue about this decision, so all my rantings are just for you guys. Aren't you lucky? Whee!
Onward ...
I spent today with my sis (ACL-surgery sis, that is). I took her to physical therapy, which is apparently some kind of medieval torture chamber wherein they stretch you out to ungodly shapes and then beat you down with insults like "wimp." Sis thinks the PT guy had a former career in a touchy-feely field, like drill sergeant or junior high coach.
Speaking of the family gimps (that's our loving term for my limp-y sis), hubby's grandmother is now out of the hospital but is in convalescent care. She does seem to be improving, which is wonderful news. Thanks to all who put her on their prayer lists and in their thoughts. You guys rock!
This afternoon, all kidlets made it home and accounted for with no major problems. Props to the bus! Keep up the good dropping off! But of course there is a school supply "need" - R has to take tweezers to class tomorrow. He said they're going to dissect "something." Er, okay...
I don't even want to know. (I betcha Italy knows, though.)

:( for your non-trip to Italy. Just have Thanksgiving the week before you go. It's the togetherness, not the date, right?
Right! And that's a great idea - I'll run it by dh and see what he says. I'll keep you posted.
If you're going to Italy one time in your life, you don't want it to be during the rainy season. It'll soil the toga.
Actually, that is a good point, that November is not the best time to go to Italy. Still, it's ITALY! It's GORGEOUS!
