signing in from the philippines

Finally! After 3 hours in LAX getting checked in for my flight and 16 hours of actual flight time with 1 hour stopover, 1 1/2 hours getting sorted out at customs in Manila and a very important stop at McDonald's for breakfast I finally made it home. That doesn't mean I stayed home...

Went to my cousin's to get my teeth looked at, went to my other cousin (doctor) to get my son's knees looked at then went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Also got my son a new pair of eyeglasses since he broke the last one he had. Still early and not satisfied yet, my kids prevailed and we ended up in an Internet Cafe, so here I am updating my entry.

Long way to go before I can go to sleep or I'd have a bad case of jetlag. Guess I have been up for almost 2 days now.... YAWN!!!!!

leaving on a jet plane

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Yes! I am packed to the gills! down to the carry-on baggage and one personal item. Well, I guess I shouldn't say that because one box is courtesy of my sister... but hey, I'm ready! That is, I still have to bake my kids' cookies... oh heck! I'm sure I'll never be ready until I'm on the plane.

Here's what my last week looks like. Work, reconfirm bookings, watch Narnia, go to Big Bear, pick up the box from my sister, do laundry, have dinner with my honey, clean up my mess from packing, bake cookies, do dishes, return books to the library, etc. etc.

When I get there here's what I need to do... Buy ham and other stuff for noche buena, shop, take my kids out, go to birthday/christmas dinner with friends, go out again with another batch of friends, have my driver's license renewed, have my braces taken cared of, etc. etc.

Whew! I'm already tired just thinking of what I have to do, much more actually trying to do it all... See yah all when I get there!!!!!
