*watches several on friendslist post to do lists, and generally be nervous about going to the comic con. * i am so going to but all off you for piccies!! have fun, everyone that is going.  and keep posting about it, i like to read all the entries about it. dont think i willever be able to go, unless i win a lottery or something like that, but stories and piccies make up for a lot!

also good news on the saffa frond: i am re-programming the site, moving pages around, reformatting some, etc. its getting along nicely, and hopefully will be done soon. maybe i will give a sneak peek or two here soon... if anyone is interested,that is.

i had a nice vacation, even if the water decided to be rainy all week. there was enough to do there to be entertained even withthe rain. piccies can be found here: Link  ((thart is my mom's photobucket. thje photos where taken by her, me and some others. mixed together in that album. ))

one of the things i did was take a tour in a local beer factory (not sure if i translated that correct)0 despite b me not being a beer drinker, it was fun to see how its made.my daugther almost lived in the indoor pool, and my son was  on the playground a lot. we also went away a few times, driving around, shopping (( bougth a new ds game there)) and  we most days would go out to eat. i did not cook that week, and neither did my mom.

the only shade was the thirt family. ((my step-brother and his wife and two kids..)) they had a figth half-way troug the vacation, and after that basically just did what they wanted.. and not asking me, my mom or my step-dad if we wanted to participate. after that day, did not ask them if they wanted to participate in what i did, either. what also bugged me is the way they raise their kids.. basically, if the youngesty son said he wated to do something, like bowling,  they would do it.. seriusly, that  9-year-old basically decided what they where going to do daily, and if he punished him for something.. she would  pull him towards her, and cuddle him, basically canceling any punishment. ((dad saiys: go and sit in your bedroom.. mumsays,  you dont have too, poor kid.. arg.))  in short, it made me glad i am a single mom....at least i dont have figths with my partner.

i  am worried about my step-dad, atm.. he came to the conclusion that he cant go on vacation with his sonś family.. and it hurts him a bit. he has 6 kids. only one visits him, this one. and to have to draw that conclusion cant be easy on him. he sleeps badly, and is so lost in thougth that he forgets things.  me and my mom are keeping a eye on him, at the momend.

my son is still going to the daycare, even now inthe vacation, and will go camping withthem next week. i want to look for a sleeping bag today, so i don't have to loan one.  he is going away for four days.  in those four days, teen and i want to go and see a movie.. we are not sure wich one, thoug, althoug she keeps repeating harry potter... i can easy guess wich movie she wants to see.
