I just wanted to drop you a post to let you know I'll be a little out of it for the next few weeks. It's taken me a whole week to get over the jet-lag... and I'm still not over it. I think I was running on adrenalin during the trip to get up early, run around like crazy, upload our photos onto our laptop, post my blog, do laundry, etc. and go to bed late every night.
Now that we're home I've been trying to go through the 7,000 photos we took with three cameras in order to create a photo album for my mom and aunt before we leave for Chicago in less than 2 weeks.
We've also had my doctor's appointments and mom's doctor's appointments for her knee.
On top of all that, in the next two weeks, we have to prepare for our month long trip to Illinois... AND we've got mom's pre-op, eye surgery, post surgery, knee MRI, visit to Art's cousin whose husband passed away while we were gone, Cousins Party to share our mother's family history, ETC. It's making my head spin!
However, we did have a fun respite when we returned from our trip. My cousin, Larry's wife, Yumiko was in the Merrie Monarch show.
She is so graceful! It was fun watching the Merrie Monarch hula dancers while I was desperately trying to sort, organize and put things away after our trip.
When we get to Chicago, we'll have a short time with our daughter, Tiffany and son-in-law before they go on a cruise and we'll have KC all to ourselves. Tif says I'll be able to catch up on my blogging once we get to Illinois. I wonder.
I hope so.
nice to see you again, Kay! Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know that my new Acer netbook does post pics WITHOUT minimizing first. It does it very quickly. Due to WINDOWS 7? I really don't know.
I am so ready for Hong Kong, now!
Oh Kay, how do you do it?!
ReplyDeleteBut soon you will have KC all to yourself(s), great!
My granddaughter is now one day past due. I can hardly wait. Please keep Naomi in your prayers.
Good luck with all you have to do.
It does take time to get over a trip like you've just been on. Relax, we'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're taking time to rest!! What a whirlwind you've scheduled!
ReplyDeleteRest well, my friend!!!
Kay, you are one impressive lady. I think by now I would be on my knees. I hope you can rest up some before your trip. That will be so exciting to look after KC while her Mom and Dad are on holiday. What a blessing you are to them. Thank you for that wonderful vacation to Japan. I still smile at the thought of all those marvelous side trips you all went on. What an adventure!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say Yumiko and the rest of the ladies looked lovely and also your calendar made me smile. I have the exact same one hanging up in my kitchen.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun life. sounds like us, we're home for 3 days then off to california to visit more family. sure nice to be home for even a short while. have fun with KC!
ReplyDeleteWow, you sound really busy Kay. I was wondering how you´d do when you got home. I was amazed how you were able to keep up those late nights and still post on you blog on vacation! I hope you get to rest somewhere in between.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your time with KC!
I don't know how you do it, Kay! I'm exhausted just reading your post!! I know you're going to love being with KC and I'm exicited for you. Do get some rest and, of course, we'll all be here waiting for you when you have the time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Sylvia
I was thinking about you...you are busy
ReplyDeleteSylvia K said exactly what I would have said. I hope you don't burn out...please take a rest.
ReplyDeletehv a nice rest!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the least bit surprised that you are taking a blogging break. And most of us will know as soon as you post again and we'll be right there to follow your next adventure.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for all of the medical events coming up.
I'm with my grandchildren in Colorado right now, and my postings will be sparse and my comments few.
Aloha! You were missed, Kay.
ReplyDeleteWe'll wait here patiently...
Aloha from Waikiki
Comfort Spiral
Sounds like you need a holiday!
ReplyDeleteGlad you back yet I still see that you are a busy bee.
ReplyDeleteYou need a vacation from your vacation! Hope all goes smoothly for your mom's surgery and that her knee is feeling better. How wonderful that you will be able to have KC to yourselves soon!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you Kay! You do have alot to do! Enjoy and you'll be in Illinois before you know it!
ReplyDeleteKay;
ReplyDeletePhew, I'm tired just reading your blog.
I have also been real tired after my trip to Ohio. My brain has been a little like mush.
Also been trying to get my spring cleaning done. (ha ha)
Yesterday, I just was on empty.
So today ,I'm trying to pace myself!
Wonderful that you are coming to Chicago and that you are getting to babysit for KC. Perfect trip, I say!
Love you.
Kay, take a few minutes to look at my blog. You're missing all of the birthday fun!
