Check In

Still don't know exactly when to expect Dan - and I have a lot of work to do before they come. I have GOT to get these carpets cleaned - they smell awful. I don't know if one of the cats is still hitting it or what, but it's real bad. There goes a quick $300. Then I have to clean the shower head, see if I can get the cat smell out of the mattress (yes, it's there, too), and tons of other things. I'm tired just thinking about it all.

I still don't know what I'm going to do with them. I figure we can hit Schlitterbaun one day, maybe T-Rex for a meal another day. July 4th will take care of itself. I don't know - and it doesn't make me feel any better knowing I'm abandoning them almost as soon as they arrive. I have to make sure George entertains them while I'm in Hermann. Wish I could get out of that trip; the timing just sucks. Maybe we can hit the zoo one of the days. If it isn't too hot. Trying to think of things that won't cost an arm and a leg, too. The zoo would be free because of the passes. Wonder if they would be interested in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat at the New Theatre. That would cost us three tickets as we have two still from Shawn's folks. I'll have to check that.

I still have to confirm with Charlie that he's planning on going to Manitou Springs. He's been so quiet - I bet he backs out. If he does and if Tom and his kids don't go, I'll just drive my car to Wichita and catch a ride with John - save on renting a car. Wish I could back out of that, too. It didn't pan out the way I had hoped. I hate The Jackass.
