smoke...airports...and 4 days off...

I just dropped my Mom off at the airport an hour ago. I came home and tried to sleep some more this morning...but no luck...I crawled into Emma's bed...thinking she'd wake up pretty sad without Nana there...she's still sleeping and here I am...not..I'll be napping this afternoon that's for sure...

...I'm going to miss my Mom...she's such a big help around the house...my laundry is totally caught up...my kitchen floor is shiny...and the playroom has remained organized all week...that and the kids LOVE having her here. They get excited just seeing Nana in the morning...so if that makes their day then it makes mine. I'm not sure when we'll see Nana again. At this point the only for sure is Christmas...we have no holidays booked between then...she has some in October but isn't sure if she'll financially be able to afford flying or even driving down at that point...so a visit then is up in the air...Christmas seems so far off though...

The smoke was ridiculous earlier on my drive...not so bad here in VA Beach, but as I drove closer to the airport it was so thick it was making me cough...I felt ill on my way home...it must be wafting this way as I can smell is seeping through walls...unless the smell is just stuck on me from the drive. They say it's going to go on for months...

So Allen and I have 4 full days off together!!! His parents are in town, but I'm so looking forward to them these 4 days. Two of them we'll spend at Busch Gardens (YAY)...and today is Emma's dance recital. Wednesday..I'm not sure what our plans are going to be..but we'll be together..and not working!!!
