Travel Anyone?

It seems my kids have the travel bug. Every place they hear of or read about they want to travel to it and see it for themselves. That's really not a bad thing, just a little unrealistic.

For example, just this moment The Little Mr. has asked if we can travel to Holland to see the house that Corrie Ten Boom lived in. A few days ago, The Littlest Mr. wanted to go to Bethlehem.

They didn't get that from me. I stretch to travel from here to Madison or Kenosha. Both those trips are easy and only about an hour away.

Heck, some days it feels like a stretch just to go to the grocery store or the library.

Last night was the start of the return to "Family Does Tae Kwon Do". It was my turn. What that means this morning is that I'm sore. The class itself doesn't make much for aches and pains, it's the stretching warm ups and the ending exercises. I used some muscles last night that I'm pretty sure I've never used before.

Tonight is The Mr.'s turn.

It's all good. The classes are great fun. The people are marvelous. The kids think it's cool that mom and dad take class too.

The Board Break-A-Thon is coming up. That's your call to sponsor my kids. They will each break 5 boards. All the money raised will go to cancer research at Children's Hospital. Last year the J.K. Lee schools raised and donated $52,000. That's a lot of boards, my friends. This year's goal is $7o,000.

I'll say it again. They're a good group.
