I think time flies just because it can.

I swear there is a big clock out there that is a masochist. He will speed up when you want something to last forever and will crawl when you are bored out of your mind, all the while thumbing his nose in our general direction.

We have been busy this past stretch. We found out that we will not be PCSing until Fall '09. Bummer but that means we get to spend time with out friends who WILL be staying here. Yes Abby and Sara that will not be you. I'll miss you guys so much!!!

CB's brother Cuddly Craig has finally graduated. We're super proud of him and the graduation in Houston was great. We got to hang out with the family but I missed seeing Grandma. Donovan was finally introduced to the Quinlan side which has been a long time coming.

I was a horrible bad mother and left my poor babies and even poorer husband to find their way back to Scott without me. Bev generously devoted some of her time and offered to drive back with them. She didn't know what she was getting into. Bwaaa haaaa haaa.

So as City boy, Bev, and the mini's suffered a 15 hour car ride from heck, I was whisked away on a plane to a girls weekend in Chicago. I just want to say that if your sanity is in danger, a weekend away is just what the phsyc ward ordered. I have never been so relaxed and comfortable in my life. Three days of shopping (including my shopping Mecca of Filene's Basement) dining (sigh) and the otherwise wasting of absolutely obscene amounts of time. I have never had so much fun by myself in my life.

So what adventures can we look forward to?? A new dog and 2 weeks without my husband.

Oh what is that I hear?

I have to go back to Chicago and live free of charge with all the shopping and spa money I can use??

Oh dear never mind that was just my imagination.
