Still not packed

We are meeting at the Nickelodeon on Rt 151 at 8am-It is now 10:54 pm and I still have clothes in the dryer-Can you say stress and exhaustion?
Anyway everyone else is ready,the food and supplies are on board - as usual I am last. Part of it is the fact that I don't own that much clothing so I can't pack and still be dressed but we are almost there.
So I will be MIA for at least 5 days-Nana is coming up and I may be able to jump on her laptop to tell you what is up on Wednesday.
Have fun for the 4th- I know we will.

2 days left

As usual I am ending my week before vacation with a bang. It was a last minute thing but I am working a double shift so in the hot seat from 8am until midnight. If you have an emergency after about 9pm I may be a little off so speak slow. No only kidding I have my Click so I will be cooking until 12:30 am then CRASH>
I am not packed but I have my lists
1. What we have
2. What we need
3. What we need to buy
#3 is a short list this year. If it isn't in the house or under $100 at Stop and Shop - it isn't happening. The good news is I have a box of Peanut Butter squares left from the birthday party in the freezer so I can support my habit for a week.
My Mom found this popcorn maker for over the fire which I can't wait to try. I haven't ever done that before.
I also have a pie maker which works almost the same but I am out of the pie making time now so I am going to try it with ham and cheese sandwiches instead.
I just jumped over to the weather page and am not thrilled. It looks like we will be building a Beaver Dam for fun until the sun returns next Friday. Did I mention we are sleeping in a 28 foot metal camper? I love thunder and lightning from my home. I don't know if I am so keen on it in a camper.

Isolated T-Storms

72°
58°

So add to things to bring- Barbies, rain ponchos and extra dry socks. No wait extra alcohol for Mom and Dad. Maybe I should reconsider bring the TV?
I am not going there-We will have a great time.
The Bingo hall is dry and I have my Hannah Montana Umbrella. While looking in every corner to inventory the place I found a treasure trove of extra crap from last year like bead sets, paints and paper and some other stuff we brought in case we had rain.
It isn't here and that is all that matters.

Mobil Blogging is a FAIL

It appears I can type but no photos.
I can't seem to figure it out even after watching the Mobil Blogging for Idiots tutorial.
And I have an important job- Scary isn't it?

Blogging from the road

It is official-
I just got the word that all of the Fooseberry campers will be on the road at 8am Friday.
Hahahahaha!!!
Let me correct that. Our GOAL is 8am!
When you have 4 families with a total of 8 adults and 7 children most being 6 and under anything can happen. Some are newly potty trained, some are just pains in the ass (Oh those would be mine) and we will all need coffee so the time I am afraid might be a soft estimate.
I just found an option to post text or photos from my cell phone to the blog. I was about to test run it but my crap battery is dead so tomorrow if you see a random post of something it will be me testing this out.
Not that I want to work while on vacation but I guarantee I will want to share the great fun or disaster that is sure to happen while we are away. I may just post about where we all end up camping on Friday night of July 4th weekend with no reservations. This is going to be interesting.

We are running for the boarder

So mama's stress level has escalated to an all time high, as you can see from the photo, I am a bit loopy. Today we had a great time at a birthday party at the Pond but we got to talking about our up coming camping trip with my cousin who is also going. He says they are leaving early with no plan in place. Just get on the road and figure it out. Well the thought intrigues me and then I start to think-We haven't done that since before the kids came. Earl and I would go to CT in my 71 Volkswagen Beetle and just find a place to stay when we got there. We loved going to VW car shows and camping out.
It is not like we can't survive - we have a 30 foot camper full to the gills with supplies for the week so it is far from Earl and I and a cooler of beer in a VW. So I just called Mr. Fooseberry and told him to be ready we are leaving Friday.
WooHoo-You would think I was one of the Sandwich 6 leaving on a cross country expedition but when you have 2 kids and a ton of responsibilities - Fly by the seat of your pants is all but gone.
I am not sure the link will work but read the story about the Sandwich 6 in the Enterprise. It is great.
So our non-plan is that we will be packed and ready Thursday night and from Friday on .....
Sorry we can't come to the phone anymore. Don't leave a message we don't care until next week.
