Snips Snails and Pigtails

I know you're thinking, what's this? No BSM, no Deep Thought Tuesday!?

I'm sorry. I'm busy packing and cleaning and getting ready for a 12 hr road trip with 4 children and a sleep deprived husband. Now doesn't that sound like FUN!?!

AHEM. NOT.

We are headed back to Chicago as my son NJ has a followup appointment with his Neurosurgeon. This is a 3 month post-op checkup. Gosh, I can't believe it's been that long! He's had ups and downs along the way and unfortunately, he's currently in a downward slope. I'm really glad we have this appointment because I'm starting to really get concerned about some of his recent symptoms. I hope and pray that nothing's broken or malfunctioning. Of course, it's probably just the weather! (If all of this is new to you and you'd like to read more about NJ see his Caringbridge linky dink on my sidebar ------>)

I am looking forward to a little vacation with the family. We plan on doing some fun things while in the windy city! Medieval Times, Science and Industry Museum, Children's Museum, Navy Pier, Legoland Adventures, American Girl Store, Sears Tower.... etc etc etc. In fact, there's so much to do and so little time. We wont' be able to do it all unfortunately.

I'll have limited internet access while we're gone. I will try and check in, but no promises. I'll be back to my regularly scheduled programing next week. *hehe*
