oh...and did I mention

Usually I feel totally antsy and cooped up when it rains but today I feel cozy and content to just stay in the house in my jams and house coat. After staring blanking at the doom and gloom that the weather network was predicting I did learn one thing from that weather lady. She told me that when they predict showers it just means little bits of rain here and there throughout the day. But when the forecast is for rain that means it will rain for more than a few hours at a time. Basically it is raining outside.
   We are planning to go camping tomorrow in the States with my parents and so far the forecast is for warm temperatures with some showers....hopefully they are just showers and not rain. I am excited to take Kaia on her first little camping trip so I truly hope that it isn’t miserable out. We have made arrangements with a friend to purchase a tent trailer but Erick’s truck isn’t up to par for highway driving and we don’t have a hitch on our car....so we are tenting it. We bought a giant tent last year one that will fit us in a big air bed and playpen so I think that we will be just fine. Maybe damp but we will survive. I will have to pack for all seasons.
   Erick goes to a volleyball coach training thing tonight and tomorrow so we will leave for camping as soon as he is done tomorrow. I will have to get my butt in gear and start packing and doing laundry.
I have started organizing Kaia’s clothing she is growing and there are a lot of things that don’t fit her anymore and a lot of stuff that does fit her now that I have hiding in place I forgot about it. I am starting to see the end of the many many clothes Kaia has received. I think I will have to start buying her more clothes when she is 12-18 months. Until then we have been so blessed with hand me downs and gifts. I have been good with organizing her clothes that don’t fit her pretty good since she has been growing. The things that don’t fit her anymore go in to a bin of neutrals or a bin of girl clothes. I figured this would be a good way of organizing for the next baby. I won’t find out what I am having I can just bring up the bin of neutrals to prepare. I have been slightly slacking though and just throwing all her outgrown clothes downstairs into a pile the pile is overflowing and my basement looks like a thrift store. We have been collecting clothes and other goodies for Erick’s family in the Philippines and that stuff is overflowing as well. In combination I have a sally an in my basement. I keep bugging Erick to put together the box so I can start packing it and get another one sent off and clean up my basement.
   We are having company stay with us for the weekend of wildcat days so I really feel like I need to get that basement cleaned and organized.
  Erick hung out with his baby girl last night and put her to bed while I snuck out with some girl friends for a couple drinks appys and some keno. It was well needed but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for in a night out. I was in bed by 1130...oh how things change. Kaia and I are still in our jams and I don’t plan on changing until we leave for our dinner date down at Erick’s sisters. However I have been semi productive so far this morning I have cleaned one bathroom and done one load of laundry...all this was done before 930....
   Oh and did I mention I was up at 550 cleaning up doggy doo doo...that poor dog can’t have much of anything other than his dog food. I was dry heaving and not impressed.
