Crossing My Fingers and Toes! (My Eyes, Too)

I can hardly believe it!

My daughter, Tiffany called from Illinois to say that there is a strong, strong possibility that she and her family might be going to Maui on Saturday. That's this coming Saturday. "But don't get your hopes too high," she says, "It could fall through."

Not get my hopes too high? Is she kidding me?

Her husband works with computers and has a job out on Maui. It's a hardship job I'm sure. They'd be there for a week and then come to Oahu for 5 days!!! I mean, might come to Oahu for 5 days!

Oh my oh my oh my oh my...

Am I getting my hopes too high?

Aack!

Now I've got a different bucket list...cleaning bucket, that is.
1. Clean the bathrooms.
2. Get the child gate.
3. Plan meals.
4. Organize KCs's toy shelf.
5. Find that potty seat!

Aaaack!

Oh... no, not yet... I musn't get my hopes too high.

Aaaaaaaaack!

  1. You've gotta have high hopes, high hopes, high apple pie in the sky hopes! Just don't do all of the work until you know for sure.

  2. Oh, I do so hope they get to come!! How wonderful that would be! And I know how excited you are! But like Linda has written, don't do all the work until you know for sure!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you -- it may be hard to walk around that way, but I'll do it anyway! I'm already excited for you!

  5. Great, here's hoping!

    I also have a huge To Do list in prep for Naomi and Libby's coming. But at least *I* have until Aug. 31.

    Good luck, Kay!

  6. Maui? Now I wish I'd gone into computers LOL

    You could *not* clean, you know -- then when if they can't come, you could feel at least a little relieved... right?

    (yeah, I know!!)
    good luck!

  7. Of course you won't be able to do anything but have high hopes, and you'll be really disappointed if they don't come, but, hey, that's the way life works. And if they don't come at least you won't have to do any housework for a while!

  8. Thanks for your visit and good luck with your cleaning work! I hate to do it while the temperature is so high!
    I have a confession to make...I am so sorry that everybody believed my story about the burglar, while the end was made up by me... sorry!
