Cruise Time

Tomorrow we leave on our 4 day Carnival Cruise with Jenny & Jeramiah!! We are driving to Maricopa today and staying the night with J&J and driving to San Diego bright and early tomorrow morning. We are mostly packed and ready to go. I realized Sam didn’t do Erin’s laundry on Sunday while I was at work so it’s going now. First load is already in the dryer.Hopefully, we won’t come home to chaos on Tuesday. Alex arrived here during the night and is currently dead to the world on the couch. I’m hoping the kids get to school on time tomorrow and Friday. I hope Jake doesn’t slack off and not do his homework. Like Alex says, “Mom, can you reach the ceiling?“ Mom, “Why?“ Alex, “Because this whole house would fall apart without you!“ He’s joking but truer words were never spoken. Grandma will be picking the kids up Friday around lunchtime. My friend, Maria is taking Erin to Sunrise on Sunday to get her free season ski pass.I think I covered all my bases and wrote everything down for everyone. I even copied the health insurance card, wrote down their medical information and one of our pediatrician’s said Alex or Grandma can call her on her cell phone if needed. She even knows that if Jake gets hurt that he’s probably exaggerating it 10 fold. I know I need to relax and not worry about the kids, but that’s easier said than done. We will not have our cell phones on for the entire cruise because international service costs so much. So, I’ll take a deep breath and trust that they will be fine. Erin already misses us, but the other two don’t give a crap!!
The weather forecast says there may be some rain. Please, no rain!!
I probably will not post about the cruise until the 16th.
