Well, I have been back in Orlando for a few days now.  It's been raining every day.  But that isn't the problem.  My problem is that I think I'm allergic to the trees that my apartment in surrounded by.  I'm not sure if they are Oaks, but I tell you I start having reactions within miles of this place and it doesn't get better until I've been back home overnight. 

**maybe I'm just allergic to this apartment and this whole set up, LOL**

The kids haven't been out of the apartment since Sunday....we are climbing the walls.  We have decided to attempt to save so money by driving one vehicle.  So, Tommy is at school all morning and by the time he gets home....it's like he brings the rain with him.  I'm trying to think of some "we live in FL with the afternoon thunderstorm blues" attitude kickers. I'll come up with something?!?

Here in the last few days I've been trying to organize a trip to see my best friend and her family in Tennessee.  It's been almost a year since I've seen her....but it feels like years!  Her babies are growing up and I wish that we could be apart of each others lives like before.  But I don't see that happening, because she's happy where she's at and I've learned that I'm happy in my hometown too. 

I've never driven so far alone.  But the problem isn't that I will be alone.  It's that I will be driving over 800 miles (one way) alone with my 3 young ones.  I've gotten alot of great advice from my friends on the UL but I'm starting to see this trip as alot of work.  I'm thinking that I should waiting until Tommy can go.  Maybe we can go up for Christmas lights and pictures like we had plan to do last year.  It would be so nice to have pictures of our babies together.  I have alot to think about.

Well....my little one's up now....and she's already upset about something....so let the day begin
