66 days until my first official day of vacation!!! I cannot wait!!! For the first time EVER (8 years, 5 months, and 16 days to be exact - but who’s counting?) I will have all three of my children in school FULL DAY!  I think I'm going to weep...  Will I once again complete thoughts at will? Eliminate my sleep deprivation and actually make sense to others?? … Is this really the end of ACT I?  The end of the 24/7 mindless spinning around their needs, their wants, food preparation.. their fighting.. more food preparation?  Is this it?  I will be taking my final bow in front of my children in 66 days.  I expect clapping and a couple 'Bravos!'.. then I will be walking off stage and into the white light nirvana of ACT II … beginning with a big fat cup of coffee, HOT ,  In  Complete  Silence

Mom: Here guys, come see.. Nanni sent us a picture of herself after her knee replacement.  Look at how great she looks!  And, she’s standing by herself in the photo! Pop: I’m confused. Mom: What do you mean? Pop: She said she had her knees replaced.  So, why do her legs look like her old legs? Why didn’t she want to replace them with a younger pair? Like.. 30 year old legs?
