Phase One

While Andy is wrapping up meetings in NYC the boys and I brought the dogs down to the farm for a week of doggie camp.  As we were making the 3 hour haul, 3 kids, 3 dogs, and me……I couldn’t help but think of how much easier the trip to the farm has gotten in the past couple of years.  No screaming babies, no constant Disney tunes, just 3 boys and their DS Lites and me and my ipod.  Whew, it’s been a long time coming.

Now the dogs are running like crazy and having a great time.  Lot’s of rolling around on their backs.  Doggie camp consists of being quasi-farm dogs for a week.  Plenty of room to roam and roll in nice smelling stuff.  They get filthy, they sleep in the garage, they get very very tired.  Then they get a bath and come home and sleep for days in their comfy beds.
Friday morning we are flying out bright and early (6am!!) to head down to Austin.  I have been busting my booty to get as many bags out as I could before I left so I could actually enjoy this little trip and not feel guilty.  But wouldn’t you know as soon as I checked my email from my parents house there was a nice little gripe waiting for me, how could I be taking  ten days away from sewing when my wait is already so long??  I have to say that this is when a cell phone and a level headed husband come in handy.  Because he always says what I need to hear, and what I already know.  My kids need to see their Grandparents, they need to see their aunts and uncles and cousins.  They see them once a year.  I am very very sorry that this means that if you just ordered, your wait might be a little longer than normal.    BUT—There is still someone at home working full time sewing while I am gone.
