[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 615788, member: 455"] [I]I'll come away with you! Today started out crazy and only got worse from there. Traditions are going out the window after this year I tell you for sure! The day got away from me somehow. We decided to change part of our tradition by adding in going to the movies before going out to dinner. I think that threw the monkey wrench into it all.[/I] [I]No one was ready. About an hour before time to leave suddenly everyone decided they needed to get a shower!
