I am officially at the point where I am ready for school to start again. Wow. It only took 4 weeks this time. Instead, I'm getting ready to fly out west with the 3 boys for a month of family fun. Kyrie is at EFY and will meet up with us in SLC. Wade will actually be flying out a couple of times too. I know. You can get up off of the floor now and recover from your shock.
Typically, I get about 10 days into so much family fun that I am screaming to be back at my own house. The last time I spent an entire month away from home with our extended families was back in 1997. So, I guess it has only taken 12 years for me to forget promising myself I would never take that long of a vacation away from home again.
Don't get me wrong. I love our families. I really do. I just also really value my privacy, my alone time, and my sanity. This is why I've decided to rent a car for the entire month, even though it will cost a small fortune. I quite rather like being a weensy bit sane, so have car, will travel. I'm thinking small outings to places like Yellowstone, Jackson, Lava, etc. And who knows....I might just make these small outings without any kids at all.
On a completely different note: a colleague of Wade's sent this to him. I thought it was too funny and wanted to share.
The Doctors weigh in on Obama's plans:
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, “Over my dead
body!” while the Pediatricians said, ‘Oh, Grow up!’ The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter.”
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.

I am currently on a month-long vacation in Utah as well. I think we're both nuts. So far, not so bad. Good luck to you!!!
