There is simply no time to write much about the trip. The cottage was nice. We ate lots and lots. Adam enjoyed himself. I'll try to do some more pictures soon.

I am overwhelmed with trainings. I got an email yesterday telling me that I have a training on Friday--the same time I am delivering a training. If I don't go to UC's, I maybe can go to Salem's on Monday. This would mean I would have training from 8-11, 12:30-3:30 and then Open House from 5-7. Is this crazy or what?

Adam is in Cynthiana for the rest of the week. I will get him on Friday, considering I am still sane.

Today we're at home for most of the day getting ready to go on vacation. This is the Gossett family vacation to Pine Mountain State Park. We're staying in a cabin like we did last year.

We went to Bowling Green last night. We didn't buy much at the mall, but Bucky did use a gift card to buy a new cd player for the Jeep at Best Buy. We ate at Moe's and it was very good. I cleaned by plate! I got Fajitas which they call Fat Sam....this may lead to Fat Susan.

We stopped at Glasgow to go to their WalMart. It's a nice one. We spent some major cash there! We are all splitting the food for vacation and so we had to get all that. Add in some basics and a gift card we bought to use for gas and it doesn't take long to add up.

Bucky is playing his usual Sat. morning round of golf and Adam is still asleep. Better go start on my to do list.

Great news! We found our camera. I'd thought I'd lost it after I couldn't find it on Tuesday and still hadn't found it yet. The last time I had it was on Sun. at the pool party. Come to find out, I had stuck it in one of Bucky's golf shoes. Please don't ask me my train of thought on this.

Somersplash was great. We had the perfect day. In fact, it was a little cool when you got out of the water. Adam had a blast. He spent most of his time in the lazy river and the wave pool. I think he would like the ocean. We got home a little after 4. Bucky is playing golf in a scramble tonight. I'm toying with going out to school and then I can do nothing tomorrow.

Hot News on the Homefront

I am no longer going to be responsible for 2nd grade Language Arts. Music to my ears. Audra now has a third grade homeroom and so we can keep a third and fourth grade switch. An added bonus is that Mrs Hollie will be with us. Sweet sugar!

I am responsible for another training. If I knew this, I forgot. I am training 6th grade teachers who missed a training early in the year or now. It is three hours, but it takes away the last "real"' day of summer vacation for me. Bummer. Hopefully I can have it from 12-3 and enjoy the morning at home.

Adam is getting really good at baseball. He loves for me to pitch the ball to him. Today he hit me HARD in the leg with one of his pitches. Left a mark! I quickly taught the word "accident" and gave the caution to aim not at me. So when he missed the next pitch he told me it was an accident. Hilarious.

We are headed to Somersplash tomorrow. I'll have to be like Kim and put on my SPF 50 since we'll be there most of the day.

One down, three to go! The CAT team trained Kindergarten teachers today, and then we'll do first tomorrow. Second, Third, and Fourth are next week. Whew! The training went well, but it makes for a long day.

Adam spent the day with Mary and Gary. "He's got so much energy!" she said. I agree. He and Gary were big buddies today. They took him to McD's for lunch and to play. Mary said he played with two little girls. They were playing some sort of hide and seek. She said that when the girls left he said it was time to put on shoes and go. What a ladies' man! Adam did not nap today so I'm hoping he'll have an early night tonight.

We're all three home tonight with nowhere to go. I'm making burgers the way Megan did for us on vacation--with sauteed onions, mushrooms, and A1. I can't wait. Sherry, we had tilapia last night, too. Great minds think alike.

Adam and I get our hair cut tomorrow afternoon when I pick him up from daycare.

Janette, hope the labor comes as soon as you want it. :)

I wish you could see Adam playing basketball right now. He is dreaming up these crazy shots. I had just cleaned up the living room and less than fifteen minutes later, he has our EVERY ball playing with them. It's like he couldn't stand everything put away.

We have worked hard today. We cleaned the garage (it looks great), I had Bucky pull out the fridge so I could clean under and behind it (gross) and we've done other odds and ends that would remind you of spring cleaning. Bucky is gone to help Ken with something. When he gets back Bucky and Adam are going to get a treat since Adam has used his potty today. He and I talked this morning and I pretty much told him that he would be pottied trained by his birthday. He can do it, but sometimes he won't and then there's those times, which are many, where we are on the go and not on any type schedule that probably causes him setbacks. I'm only putting him in pull-ups now anyway, so that is helpful but still expensive.

We are having teriaki chicken tonight. We bought some eggrolls and rice on our last WalMart trip and so it should all go together well. I think we have some of those Betty Crocker warm delights for dessert. Can life get any better?

It's Friday and Bucky, Buddy, Alan, and Brent are playing golf ALL DAY. Buck left the house at 5:30 and it's about 1:30 now and they've played three rounds at Lakewood and are on their way to play a round at Burnside in Somerset. After that, they'll come home and we'll all meet up at the Mexican restaurant to eat. Their final destination is Lakewood so they can play night golf. How crazy is that?

Adam and I went to the pool today. We both had a good time. Yesterday we went to school to do a few things and then had praise team practice. He went to Teresa's again. Practice went awesome and Bucky is singing with us which is fun for me.

It will be naptime in a little bit, and then I don't know what we'll do. Relax hopefully!
