Coming Soon: National Von Bokern's Thanksgiving Vacation

I'm sure there is/was something of importance and/or interest that I was going to type here.  However, those thoughts are long gone.  Just imagine 2 adults and seven kids trying to travel just a short 250 miles.  Yep, it was everything you can dream up and more.  One thing happened that we didn't even tell our family . . . we locked ourselves out of the suburban at McD's in Evansville. But, it added no time to our trip since we had to take everyone to the bathroom, order, go back in line to get what we forgot, take another bathroom break, load everyone in the car, and still mange to leave Bryce's shoes behind. By the time we accomplished this in just two short hours, the locksmith had come and gone!  Happy Thanksgiving!  I have much to be thankful for!

socks + carpeted stairs + silky PJ pants = death!

Just for the sake of your imagination, I'll give you just a few words and let your mind do the rest.  Trip, slip, slide, thump, thump, oooooohhhh, sound of nails as they dig into carpet (unsuccesfully),  thump, thump thump, bump, bump, bump (in rapid succession).  More groaning . . . Trey who was at the bottom of the stairs:  "Mom? . .  Mom?  Mom, are you alright?" Me:  "Don't talk to me Trey, I think I might cry!"  Which hurt worse, my pride or my backside?  Do the colors black and blue when used together mean anything to you?  And for those of you who know me, I did laugh because it is just too funny when someone falls down the stairs!
