:-(

Dropped the kids off with Angie's mom tonight (we all met at my parents' house for the drop-off/pick-up). Dillon seemed sad when we said our good-byes (he started to make the "I'm about to cry" face) and Adrian was crying for mommy. I swear it almost made me want to just say, "We're staying home!"

But we have our tickets to Denver and we've already paid for the hotel room, so we're going. And we'll try to have fun and not think about leaving the kids behind, I guess.

We had to finish up the wash, do some ironing and pack everything up into the little suitcases so we won't have to pay to check a big bag. I've got some magazines and a book for the flight, and I just need to make sure my iPod is all charged up tonight. Can't forget the headphones and the charger (for the flight back). Come to think of it, I should charge Angie's iPod up, too.

Did a quick mowing of the front yard when I got home from work. There just wasn't enough time to get the back yard. And heck, I still need to get over to the Maple Shade house and mow the whole yard there again. By the time we get back, it'll be a forest again!

My dad just got discharged from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden on Thursday afternoon. He went in for an ablation(?) surgery to correct his " Afibrillation" condition. He's back at home now and he was up and about when we got there around 7:30pm this evening. I hear he slept most of the afternoon on Thursday and I'm sure he was still exhausted this morning, too. So far, everything seems good, though. We're all hoping that this did the trick and he won't have the "afib" episodes anymore.

Wish us luck on our journey. Flight leaves at 7:50am from Philly tomorrow, so it will be an early morning for us - and a very long day, I'm sure!

2005 Chrysler Town & Country Sliding Door Fix

Our driver's side power sliding door has been acting up over the past year or so.  When you press the button inside the van or use the remote key chain fob to open the door, it will usually only open a few inches and then quit.  When it first started happening it would open pretty far and then quit, so I squirted some WD-40 inside the tracks thinking that something was blocking it.  That actually seemed to buy us some time because it started working again after that.  Over the past few months, though, the door was basically not powered anymore.  It would occasionally open about 2 inches and then stop.  Once open, it wouldn't even attempt to close when you pressed the button.  And if you manually closed the door, you really had to slam it because the motor wasn't taking over to close it all the way (you'll know what I'm talking about if you have one of these). A side effect of this problem was that our power door locks also stopped working within the ...

Bring Your Kids to Work Day

Star Wars Puzzle "You're all clear, kid."

We're working on a new 1,000-piece puzzle called, "You're all clear, kid." It's a Star Wars puzzle that prominently features the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, the Death Star, and all the primary characters from "A New Hope." It's been a difficult one so far because of the number of black pieces with "stars" on them, along with the number of white Falcon pieces. But we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of where we are now...
