Today is the last day of work before I start my vacation. Ten days off work in a row.
Item one on vacation list: Party like it's Susan's Birthday! Even though her birthday was Wednesday the Par-Tay is tonight. We will eat well, laugh, drink, laugh, dance, laugh, and later George Clooney is going to pop out of her cake. Oh, wait, that part about the cake was supposed to be a surprise. Well, nevermind, then, since the surprise is ruined, I'll just cancel it.
Item two on vacation list: Get Jeremiah a haircut. Get Kim a haircut. Beg Sierra to get her hair cut and listen to her refuse. Give in and leave her hair alone. No need to ruin day one of my vacation.
Item three: shop for things we need to take to Michigan. Just a few items for snacking, lunches at the beach, and so on. Also shop for card to send to George apologizing for cancelling his appearance Friday night at the last minute.
Item four: finish up laundry.
Item five: go to the library and check out a bunch of DVDs for the kids to watch in the car on the way to Michigan. See Blog posting from Wednesday if you don't understand why this is important enough to get it's own line item. HUMP! Also check out a couple more books for reading together as we are almost finished with How to Steal A Dog. (It's still sad in Chapter 16). Make sure at least one of the books is really funny this time.
Item six: Pack.
Item seven: Collapse exhausted into bed.
Item eight: Wake up to hear phone ringing. Answer it. Apologize to George as he sobs and tell him his danged Sorry Card is in the mail (even though it's not, yet) and tell him to get over it!
Item nine: Finally get to sleep. Dream of cool lakeside breezes, sand castles, and delicious Michigan blueberrries.
Item ten: Drive to Michigan with various DVDs playing to quiet children in back seat of car. Have a brilliant idea to make things right with George. Call Susan and get her to agree.
To be continued....

I doubt George will ever be the same after this rejection. If he wants I'll try to console him.
I'm exhausted just reading what you have to do to get ready to leave. Forget looking at that house.
Have fun and PARTY ON.
I hope you make it clear to George that it was YOU who rejected him, and not me. Amazing how much fun we managed to have without him there. And thanks for inviting Mark to join us -- he and Betsy really seem to hit it off!
