But if you go with that mindset maybe it would be better! Also DO NOT drive!! If you do drive (I don't know where you live) park somewhere and take the monorail or bus or something.. anything other than you car! lolMaria @ Life on M Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932151543072470657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931845948394002820.post-27897473555584663522012-07-13T08:16:32.173-07:002012-07-13T08:16:32.173-07:00HA!

I say, who cares if the joke was already told by someone else's adorable child? When I said it, it was funnier! ;o) I looked at your Wordless Wednesday post before I read this one and have deduced that you may be the parent of some of the most adorable children EVER! Also, my husband refuses to go to Chicago (for ALL of the reasons you mentioned), so I will not share this with him or I may NEVER see it...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085275382498597298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931845948394002820.post-45684522013349505972012-07-04T10:00:51.256-07:002012-07-04T10:00:51.256-07:00I thought Illiniong was funny.

Randomly enough, one of the kids at my school that went off to 6th grade this year has CdLS and it's weird that I came across your blog that has that same connection :o) We just got back from a trip to San Diego and after 13 hours of driving I somehow managed to mow the lawn, vacuum, water the plants and do a load of laundry!Cavinder Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625422008022148232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931845948394002820.post-26715656942106685142012-06-29T19:26:50.148-07:002012-06-29T19:26:50.148-07:00i wish we would have been smart enough to take the...i wish we would have been smart enough to take the monorail!!! that would have saved us SO much hassle! i think our mindset didn't match chicago either.. we weren't prepared for an all-day walk around type thing. we just wanted to get in, do our thing, and get out...<br /><br />i was hoping we'd get more info too... but we did make some great friends!!<br /><br />and i think writing everything down has made july worse... lol. looking at my calendar makes me stressed! ella has at least 1 weekly dr appt in omaha or SF in addition to the boys dentists appts and nolan ENT appt. also swimming lessons, VBS, and i just agreed to paint a mural in a school... eek!Maria @ Life on M Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932151543072470657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931845948394002820.post-81170006698009884352012-06-29T18:01:43.408-07:002012-06-29T18:01:43.408-07:00Love the last pic - pink skirt AND pink boots?! Wh...Love the last pic - pink skirt AND pink boots?! Where can I find those in my size? First off, when I visited Chicago, we didn't drive anywhere. Flew in and either took the monorail or walked wherever we needed to be. We also went in December, so I'm guessing the cold weather deterred most of the crowds. Maybe you'd like it better if you'd travelled with me. =)<br /><br />Second, I'm sorry to hear the conference wasn't as informative as you'd hoped. Perhaps you've made new contacts that will prove more worthwhile later. (Bear with me, I'm not good at the "silver lining" thing. Haha!)<br /><br />Third, what do you have going on in July? Maybe writing it all down will put your mind at ease. Or maybe others could suggest ways to tackle it all.<br /><br />Glad to have you back!Kimberly Mueller-Malonenoreply@blogger.com
