The State of Affairs

"I'll have to try and post on here every day for a few days"

Well THAT didn't happen.  I guess I'd better just do a bunch of posts today to get caught up.....if I can.

I'm not just behind in blogging, I'm behind in everything - at least I was until very recently.  My sister Marie came to visit, and I nearly had to work myself to death in order to get ready for their arrival.  I was sooooooo behind.

I was behind on dishes.

 I was behind on laundry.

 And my sewing room, where my guests were supposed to sleep, looked like this.

Perhaps some of you had similar conditions in your house this month - everybody gets behind on dishes and laundry sometimes, right? 

But......

I was so behind, that I still had a Christmas wreath hanging in our front entryway.

I was so behind, that I still had red and green nail polish on my toes from Christmas.

Well, Marie has come and gone.  I was all caught up by the time they got here:)  And now?  Well, I'm a little behind again.......but the Christmas wreath is down, and my toes are a different color, so that's something;)

Crazy

Behind again.  I'll have to try and post on here every day for a few days.

Do you realize that we only have like 9 months left here?  What the heck?!  I have things I want to do and see, and time is quickly running out. 

We crossed one thing off our bucket list last weekend.  Legoland!

What do I think of Legoland?  Well, it was fun, but it really seems to be geared more towards small children as far as the rides go.  I don't know if I'd ever pay to go there again.  Of course, the rides aren't the most important thing at Legoland.  You really go there to see all the cool stuff made out of Legos!  Best of all was all the StarWars stuff - we LOVE Legos, we LOVE Star Wars!!!  I took way too many pictures.

This next picture is the best of the bunch.  Joseph did NOT want me to take a picture of him on this ride - I think he thought he was a little too old to be on it in the first place.  But come on, I'm his mom, it's my job to take embarrassing pictures and post them on line......right?

Overall, it was a fun trip, and a much needed get-away - Joe had a really hard week in school.  We loved being down in Southern California.  Carlsbad, where Legoland is, is really beautiful, and the hotel we stayed at was fabulous.

I had a bucket list in Korea too, and it was great.  The problem with my bucket list here is that everything is so dang expensive!  Whale watching is expensvie.  I don't know if we'll get to it all.  Maybe I don't really need to see whales in their natural habitat.....but it would be nice.
