Im off to Monterey in 3 more days!!
3 days and counting my PeePs till Im off to Monterey to see my big sissy and bro-in-law!!!....Im sooo stoked...!! it's been at least 7yrs since Ive been away on a solo trip!!.....I mean I havent even been ON a plane since before 9-11....now with all the security crap, taking your shoes off, no bringing shit with you on the plane...dear god....it's all soo complicated!.....but aside from all that it doesnt put a crimp in my excitement!!!!......Im going to get pampered with a Lobster dinner out....and get to hang at the local Pub for St.Pattys Day too! (may even come home a tad bit hung over...who knows?)....maybe I will get to even see the "Monterey Bay Aquarium" again....I havent been there in god knows how long....wayyy before I ever had kids--when I was early married to the ex-hubby....speaking of the ex-hubby.....today he finally earned some respect from me concerning my kids....his oldest step daughter is having her bday at a very expensive resturant...he was going to take all 3 of OUR kiddos too but when he realized how pricey it was going to be and that he could not afford to take the step-daughter AND all 3 kids....so he told the kids that no only was he not able to take them, he would also stay home as well....(Ty is with him anyway today solo)....so I called & told him how I was proud of his decision to NOT go anyway and leaving all the kids home with me....I also told him that over the years he had lost sight of OUR kids...and keeping them special in his life--all the while him trying to get his "new" family together....most step-families dont mesh easily.....his was no exception....but Im sure the kids are going to feel alot more special about this whole situation....wonders never cease....maybe there IS hope for the ex-hubby??
