-loaded down mama-

well, we met dad/mom fur lunch today at applebees & afterwards, she showed me how full her backpack was for her haiti trip - i then added more stuff to it (sorry mom!) & had her to put it on - dad helped her with it & then let go, at which time she was LOADED down - she'll do fine with only taking 2 carryons (suitcase & backpack), but it still's a lot of work - PS as we're all looking at her wearing this backpack, notice where my father's looking... HEY DAD, TURN YOUR EYES UPWARDS JUST A BIT THERE FELLA!
