Road Trip!

In just a few day, 16 to be exact, I will be heading home to Wisconsin!! Yay!!

Me, 4 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. Should be interesting!

When I made this trip 2 years ago, it went as smooth as I could hope for!

I'm praying it goes just as easy again this year.

This only gives me a few days to get stuff done around the house. I noticed Richard's front tire on the truck was looking low yesterday. So I got the pressure gauge out and sure enough, it read 15psi (should be 30psi)!!! So off I went to the gas station to put some air in the tire. That's when I noticed the screw in the tire!! Great! Now I'll have to take that in and have it repaired. I also need to get my truck in for an oil change and to have it looked over to make sure it's ready for the long haul north.

I'm finishing up the last of doctor's appointments this week. I was able to get Hanna and Cory in for an eye appointment today. It's been 2 years for Cory as his eyes hadn't changed the last time he was seen. Poor Hanna though, her glasses are barely hanging on! Decided I wasn't going to take her back to the eye center in the mall....expensive!! I'll stick with Walmart's optical center. The kids and I all had dentist last week. The boys have all had their annual physicals. Hanna's will have to wait until we return in August, as her birthday isn't until July.

May try to get the dogs in for a bath at the vet. If I can't, guess I'll be washing them! All I know is they need a good scrubbing before I stick them in MY truck!! :0) And then of course there is the packing that needs to be done!! Good thing it's summer time and I won't have to pack a lot of jeans and sweaters. Everything I need for six weeks must fit in the cartop carrier....the back end of the truck will only be for the dogs.

We still have 2 weeks left of school to get through too. It seems like everyone else is already down for the school year or they will be done this week.

I'm so ready to spend some time with my family!! :0)
