Oh! The places you will go!

Here are some pictures from my First Single Stepmother weekend with the boys, captioned by the incomparable Dr. Seuss.

Congratulations!

Today is your day.

You’re off to Great Places!

You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!

You’ll be on your way up!

You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.

You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.

Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best.

Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

And if you go in, should you turn left or right

…or right-and-three-quarters?

Or, maybe, not quite?

Or go around back and sneak in from behind?

Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,

for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying.

You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping, once more you’ll ride high!

Ready for anything under the sky.

Ready because you’re that kind of a guy!

 

Corey Update: They started eight days of convoy missions on Saturday. It's not eight days straight for him, but the exercise is eight days. So he did stuff this morning, rested this afternoon and leaves at 9 PM for a night convoy exercise. Or something like that. Today I packaged up two big tubs of granola from Whole Foods, some facewash (he ran out), his Xbox magazine for the month and two t-shirts from http://www.tshirthell.com/ that are either sacreligious or blasphemous, but funny as shit. He picked them out and I'm the World's Best Wife at remembering things he says he wants.

Here's a little picture to warm your fricking heart!
