18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses

[AJM80]

It's pouring down rain here tonight, like it has been in most of the country this week. Thank goodness the tornados and severe storms missed my loved ones. Prayers to those of you who are cleaning up with week.

My goal the last month or 2 or 3 has been to get through my son's minor surgery and deciding about going back to work, then make some of the bigger decisions. So, once people knew I was through that, the pressure started in from family and friends. I freaked, gracefully, and drove to Niagara Falls after my MIL left....spent the night....drove back....So, 16 hours with the kids in the car to spend the night at a hotel and get up and see things for 3-4 hours, then drive back. H was kind enough to book us a hotel when I told him I was halfway to Niagara with the kids. He asked me to send lots of pics in return. I sent some. He booked and paid for the hotel. I thought that was nice. It did not have free breakfast like I asked, but it said breakfast available and had a water park, so he was being nice....how I was supposed to take 2 babies into a pool I do not know?

Fair warning, this is going to be a long post with a lot of "..." I'll break it into a few entries
