I am currently in Florida. My work sent me down here for two weeks to teach a training course. My Mom offered to take the kids and have Susie and Eliza fly down with me. I took her up on the offer. So it it kind of like being on vacation except that I have to work everyday. The toughest part about though is that now I have to get my Mom something really nice for Mother's Day since she is watching my other kids. Any suggestions?

I ran 6.5 miles in the rain.

If it were my mom taking MY kids, it would have to be something sparkly and expensive. They can be a handful, and they're 10 & 15. LOL

What part of Fl are you in? How about a nice gift card to her favorite restaurant?

balndnspicy - My mom likes jewelry, especially large sparkly things.

KP - Thanks, I will be sending flowers, but I want to get her something else as well.

Scott - I am in Pensacola, it is in the West end of the pan handle.

Pensecola isn't too far from me. Well, 7ish hours. But, it is one of the closest beaches for us.

Is the water brown yet from the oil spill?

I haven't made it to the beach yet. But I've been told that the oil spill hasen't reached Pensacola yet.

I got her a family tree picture frame. It's easier to see then to explain.
