Musings of a Michigan Mom

I can’t believe we leave for our 2 week vacation tomorrow!   It’s funny, usually when we go I start packing weeks in advance.  This time I started this past weekend and everything is packed from our swimsuits to our battery chargers.  The only thing I have to pack yet is the last minute things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, that sort of thing.

The only bummer thing is Katie has gotten ill and tomorrow morning while I’m getting Kevin ready for school, Paul will be calling the doctors office hoping to get an appointment before we leave tomorrow afternoon.  All I know is I hope she starts feeling better soon.  Right now it’s a nasty cold, but starting tonight she refused to eat because her throat hurt too.  So between the sore throat and her rattly cough I can say she’s had better days and won’t be going to school tomorrow. 

So wish me luck tomorrow!  Finish packing, hopefully have an AM doctors appointment for Katie, pick up our van rental, pack the van, pick Kevin up from school and then start our 20 hr drive!  Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

They always say that diamonds are a girls best friend.  While I’m sure to some women diamonds are as they would love to have a satchel filled with loose diamonds, but I can say not all women feel that way. 

The reason why I can say that is because I’m one of those women who trulyonly wanted one diamond in my life and that was my engagement ring.  I didn’t care what size it was.  Honestly if I had to choose between a smaller diamond or a huge diamond like you see the movie stars get.. I would of chosen the small diamond in a heartbeat as to me wearing a huge one like they do would scare me.  Plus I would always be worrying about getting it dirty so every time I would do the dishes, work out in the yard, do anything I would be taking it off.  With the diamond I have, I can do it all and not worry.

All I can say is my husband did a wonderful job when picking out my diamond and I know he’s thinking how glad he is that he doesn’t have to choose anymore.
