Celebrated and Early Birthday for #1 Son

Word of the Day

Shoop - The singular form of sheep. Also applicable to fish as foosh. In the case singular moose, meese is the plural form.


Sarge packed up all the kidlet gear and we hit the road for the airport at 9 AM this morning. We actually arrived at the airport at 11:30 AM so we had plenty of time to check baggage, go through security, and grab a bit to eat at one of the few restuarants that exist past security. Yes, they gave me a pass to accompany Sarge, Tammy, and Little Jon to the gate. Thank goodness! There's no way that Sarge could have wrangled a stroller, a carseat, two children and all the accompanying necessary items all by herself. Since the plane wasn't over-sold, Sarge was rewarded with a whole row all to herself and the kidlets. Yeah!

I just got a call from D Buddy. Southwest is an awesome airline. They gave him a security pass too so he could meet Sarge and kidlets at the gate to assist when they arrived. Double Yeah!

I'm so going to miss having my grandchildren here. Once #1 Son and #1 DIL leave for their roadtrip on Monday morning, it's going to be rather over-whelmingly quiet. It helps that #1 Son and #1 DIL put away all the kid toys for me before I got back.
