Doesn't it just figure?

I'm starting to get used to the fact that I am no longer in control of my life... between having 3 kids, 2 of which are 2 year old TWINS, 2 jobs (well, maybe its really more like 3 - not counting the family...) and a whole lot of personal commitments, I'm trying really hard to learn to be flexible.

And yet, when my carefully planned (but yet still flexible!) timing for our trip to Southern California to see family and friends was all screwed up I have to admit, I almost lost it. Now with the van still in the shop, a rental parked in the driveway, patiently waiting for me to buy it snow chains and load it with enough underwear and snacks to provide for a small army, I wonder if we will make it through the holidays this year!

If you were expecting to see me and my bright shining family, and we don't show up... check the Super 8 in Central California, somehow I feel this might be my destiny this year.

Love, Sarah and Nate

Hey, where abouts in California? I have family up and down the state if you get stuck I have phone numbers and addresses. My family will take in those that need hugs and food.
