As soon as the kids get home, we're off to my parents up in Jacksonville for the weekend! It will be nice to get away! At least I'll have my mom to help with the kids for a little so I'll get a nice break after it's been 3 weeks of doing all of this by myself! My mom did mention my dad has a few things he needs help with: something about organizing all of the HDMI cables he's got for his computer and printer and such and then he also needs help setting up the VCR to their new flat screen TV. Now that last part I'm not so sure I'll be able to help with. I don't have a flat screen TV so I'm not familiar with how it works and where to plug everything in.

I'm just psyched we'll be looking at some new scenery, even though we will be bringing psycho doggie with us. 3 hours in the car with 3 kids can sometimes be alot. Add a seriously psycho dog to that and look out!

My friend and walking partner from the 3 Day in 2006 recently asked me if I had the 3 Day itch yet. My answer is no I don't. I've walked it now 2 years in a row and this year I just don't have it in me. 2006 was just awesome - it rocked! My friend and I had SO much fun together, it was awesome. 2007 was OK. Basically, it sucked. Not the people that I walked with - Colleen, Kim and Tara were awesome. It was the heat! I am horrible in the heat. I could train and train for days and days and be physically fit, but if there's heat and humidity, I'm done! And that's what happened in 2007. Friday and Sunday were hard because of the heat. Saturday was okay because the weather was nice. But the other two days - forget it. So no, the 3 Day itch has not appeared nor will it this year. I look forward to walking for 2 days up in my old stomping ground of NY City!
