On the fifth day of Christmas...

My children gave to me: a disastrous house to clean up all day long! (I know that doesn't fit in with the tune, but whatever). Dn. John is back to the grind today at work, and I am CLEANING. All day. Well, with the exception of sitting down and writing this blog. And I'll probably check my email and Facebook...so, I suppose at some point in time today I will clean. My goal today is to get the upstairs all cleaned. That way, I can do the downstairs really well before we leave on Wednesday, and in theory come home to a clean house after South Carolina.

SOUTH CAROLINA!! I hope it's warm, because it's -10 today up here in Alaska. I would love to be able to take my kids outside without worrying about frostbite. We're staying in today (duh, 'cause I'm cleaning, right?), with the exception of taking Megan to the doctor to check on her nasty cold. Which reminds me...I should call Kali and bum a ride for that. I wonder if she's awake...

But as I was saying, South Carolina. I've started making my lists (and checking them twice-ha!) so I don't forget anything. I'm incredibly irritated that we have to pay for our baggage, but there's not much we can do about that. I hope my kids sleep on the plane. But once we get there....ah....vacation! My in-laws take such good care of us whenever we visit. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone, and also having a bit of a break from my kids. They'll be so entertained by grandparents and aunts and uncle that I think I'll get some down time. I plan on sleeping. :) And shopping, but we digress.

Well, Megan and I are rocking out to her music on her pink Hello Kitty boom box. I should put some Metallica in it or something, just for the irony factor. Although, she does like Pearl Jam. (Daddy's girl, I know).

Okay, okay. I'm logging off...going to clean....

Please do put Metallica in the Hello Kitty! boom box and video tape it... It just seems so appropriate. Enter Sandman would fit quite well.
Have a good time in South Carolina!

It was 70 today here in sunny SC... next weeks forcast is for mid to upper 50's... I don't think you have to worry about frostbite.
