The surveyors did not show up today, either.  It's Thursday, if they are going to do it this week as they promised? They are going to have to get over there tomorrow.  I don't think they work on weekends.  But who knows what their schedule is.  

I took both dogs and 3 kids over there today and yes, we went on a hike to the back of the property.  I took them the "easier" route, tho admittedly there aren't any really easy routes, you still have to climb over logs, through bushes, over thorn vines, etc.  Jaxon - the 4 year old - wasn't doing too well. He insisted on coming, but the outcome was the same as the last hike. 

Except this time? I didn't help him. I told him before we left that I wasn't helping him do anything, if he really wants to come he's going to have to find his way through there.  So yes, we had some screaming moments of DON'T LEAVE ME!!!! even tho we were just standing there watching him attempt to get over or through stuff.  

The only thing that I saw that was of intrigue that I hadn't noticed before is at the rear end of the driveway, to the left/east.  There is plenty of room along there for smaller/shorter RV's to back into with a very nice view, actually.  

Depending on where the surveyors - if they ever get there - put the stakes in, I think I could get 5 to 10 small units in there.  

But that's all a foreign language right now as the endless wait for these people to show up and do there job continues on.  I will definitely be over there tomorrow morning. If they don't come tomorrow, I don't see them getting it done this week.  Maybe they can get this stuff done in on day? I suppose they can.  

The grandparents just arrived.  They will spend the night here and then they will take all 3 boys off to Arkansas for 2 weeks.  Yes, 2 full weeks.  The 3rd boy has been down here a total of a month this summer.  We are leaving tomorrow evening for Arkansas as well, tho not to see the kids lol.  I imagine the 2 that stay here are going to get homesick after a bit, we'll see. The older boy from Ark has had a few moments of homesickness but nothing serious so maybe these boys will adjust as well? I dunno. They've been up there before but not for that long.

I don't really have much to do to get ready to leave tomorrow and we have all day long to do it.  The dogs are going over to Maria's instead of her coming over here.  She actually was able to get permission from the judge - who owns the house they live in and lives next door - to have them over for a couple of days.  Perhaps the judge will warm up to Addler.  He didn't want Addler staying over there all the time, hence Addler stays home.

Which has, actually, been quite convenient.  Instead of having to load them up every morning when I'm going on a trip as I used to have to, they either stay in my room if it's too early or they get put outside.  Either way, it saves a lot of time and driving.  

I sort of stopped the diet today for a 4 day off deal.  Ate a hamburger and fries. Took the kids to Applebee's after we got done with the hiking - we lasted all of an hour out there before the heat overtook all of us and it was definitely time for all of us to cool off including the dogs. Took them home, left them in my room to cool off and we all had a good time, actually, eating.  Kind of a sending off meal, c'ya in 2 weeks! lol

I don't actually care what we do on vacation. I just want away from home and from work.  A mindless atmosphere where I don't have to think about anything and will shut off the property thoughts - try to anyway.  Not necessarily going to be all that happy if these people don't come get this survey done - this week.  

Well I guess I should go out and be sociable with the grandparents. 

G'day.
