Update

OK, so I haven't blogged in a while. Last entry, I was waiting for stitches and staples to be removed from gallbladder surgery. Well, that was done. Doing great. And now I can tell you the rest of the story. A couple of months ago, Jim and I decided that we just wanted to drop off the face of the earth for a few days and take our "last family vacation" before Jennifer graduates high school. We secretly planned a Disney vacation with the works. We rented nice house with pool, ordered Disney tickets, planned out which parks, exact dates (so Jenny could ask for time off), reserved a spot in the kennel for Scooby, and told no one our plans except Jon (he had to feed the cat). Jim even agreed to turn off his email and not call into work except once a day while we were gone. Of course, anytime you plan something, what can go wrong, will go wrong. The week before we were to leave, I had my surgery. I was sure that our vacation was ruined. However, things went off without a hitch!!! I asked Dr. about it, and he said as long as I took a lot of breaks and didn't do any rides that everything should be fine. Our vacation was a BLAST!!! Kids had a ball and thought we had lost our minds. Whenever they asked if they could do something we said "Go for it". Lots of window shopping and walking for me. Kids got Jim on a few rides, including "Tower of Terror". After that one, he didn't trust the kids anymore and refused to get on anything they told him to. Lots of side stories to tell and will post some pics in future blogs, but needless to say it was a memorable time and I hope it will be a fond memory for the kids to look back on.
