solitary confinement

i have my very own bedroom again!!!  ok, i have to share with doc macgyver, but only for a few hours each day ;).  shared a bed in vegas with dash for a week, and then a hotel room with rotating kids for another week.  so glad to have my own space back!!

we were in stockton for 5 days before we could move into the rental house.  then it was another 4 days before the washer/dryer and fridge showed up.  laundromats sure make quick work of laundry.  too bad they're so darn expensive!  and after not cooking a real meal for almost 3 weeks, i'm not sure i can get back into the swing of it.

boys finally went back to school this week.  AGAIN.  who knows how long this time.  we're anticipating 3 months here, but anything can happen.

family vacay scheduled for mid-february.  we will be in belize on valentine's.  how perfect for the doc and i.  although i'm always excited at the thought of ignoring life for 8-10 days, i'm SO not looking forward to seeing the inside of another hotel room!!  but at least it's not for too long.  and i suppose it's worth it, since it facilitates a week of unlimited food 24/7 and visits to 4 different countries in a week.  not to mention 7 days of sun and heat and humidity!  yippee!!!!
