In less then 10 hours we should be on our way for the 2012 Baseball Road Trip. So excited! Hopefully all goes well.
Let see, work was rough this week...4 and half days was a struggle. Thankfully some of the days were crappy so it was ok that I was working.
Last night Danielle and I went to the Brewers//Twins game....Twins lost of course. Danielle was happy. We got home pretty late and her boyfriend Bradley came up and got to my house at like 3am. What a dedicated boyfriend!
We didn't really do much today. I made them pancakes for breakfast and then we went to Costco. You know college students...they need food. We had some pizza for lunch and Bradley had to leave for work. When Eric got home I mentioned that after June 28th we will lose our unlimited data for our phones so he insisted I get a new phone so that we can keep our unlimited data. So I got a new smartphone. So far I love it. I also figured how to tether it to my laptop so I can have Internet anywhere my phone has reception. Yes! I'm so excited that I figured this out. So tomorrow on the road, I can publish a blog from the car and Eric can do his Cafe World on FaceBook. It is all good.
Well I need my sleep for the long drive tomorrow. Stay tuned for blogs about our trip.
T-minus 10 hours and counting

On Sunday we went to the Twins/Cubs game with Byron and Paula. The Twins lost of course. Byron is seriously cursed. He has never seen the team he was rooting for win. Very sad.
Sunday night we had massive thunderstorm. The rain was just pouring, the lightening was flashing and the tornado sirens were a blarin'. Of course our satellite went out, then our internet and than the lights. Really?
Yesterday was a rough day at work. After work 4 hours two weeks ago, then 2 days last week, the thought of working a full week seems daunting...so I'm taking a half day on Friday. :-)
All weekend I kept asking Eric, "Are you sure you don't have anything due?" (I'm starting to sound like my grandma.) He assured me that he didn't not. Well, I accidentally went into his school's email account (it is through gmail and I was trying to get to my gmail account). I was surprised to see that his teacher sent him an email asking where his paper was. When I saw this email I was angry. How could he miss a paper??? So when he came home from his soccer game at 9:15 pm, I had to be the bearer of bad news. He flipped out and I saw a look I've never seen in Eric's eyes before...FEAR! I calmed him down and after 2 hours of writing and typing, we finished his 4 pages paper and submitted it to his teacher. Pretty impressive if you ask me...I'm taking some of the credit. If I wouldn't have accidentally went into his email account, he would never know that there was a paper due because he never checks his school email. I have fixed that too. I now get a forwarded copy of all his school emails. I'm starting to be like a mother but he needs to stay on top of his work!

Well today was a very busy day. It started early this morning when Byron and Paula arrived...ok so it was 12:10 am but it was still this morning!
We headed to Valleyfair around 10am and after a little snafu with our season passes, we finally got into the park. We hit most of the rollercoasters like Wild Thing, Mad Mouse, Renegade and Excalibur (just like my hotel last week. Paula and I went on the Looping Starship...the boys were wimps. We spent the rest of the afternoon in the waterpark. We did the huge 4-person slide twice, the small tube ride, a slide and the wave pool. Lazy river was closed for some reason. :(
We meet Greg, Celeste and Evelyn for dinner at Applebees. I had the most nutritious Triple Chocolate Meltdown. Let's be realistic, it was really hot all day and I wasn't hungry so I had what I really wanted. Yum!
After dinner they all hung around our house until 7:30 when we went back to Valleyfair to ride the rest of the rides we missed. We started with Enterprise, Steel Venom, Corkscrew, High Roller and Power Tower. We finished the night with Wild Thing. As we went up to the 206 feet summit, we got the best view of the fireworks. It was awesome; the view from the top was the best.

I love 2 day work weeks. Tuesday was my "Monday" and Wednesday was my "Friday." But next week is going to be tough. 5 days. I don't know if I can do that. LOL!
Wednesday after work we went down to Mankato for Beth's Graduation Party. The menu included waffles, root beer floats and cake. It was good. Danielle even came by for some food. It was nice to see her again. We got home around 10.
We took Thursday off. Swirl had to go to the vet for dental work. That was an expensive bill...ouch! And now we have to pill him for the next 10 days. Oh that is so much fun. Eric wraps him in a blanket and picks him up then I try to stuff the pill in his mouth without getting my fingers bit. I'm not sure who has the harder job.
Beth's graduation was last night too. After we got home from the vet, we drove down to DJ's house to meet the rest of the family. Eric's parents came to town for the graduation. The ceremony was outside and shocking was only an hour long since there was over 230 in her class. It is amazing. I got some good pictures.
