Get Away

I was talking to one of my best friends today and we are both going on a trip without our kids starting this weekend. She is going on a cruise to the Bahamas and I'm so sad that we aren't going with them. The plan was for us and them to go together but some thing happened at hubby's work and he is no longer allowed to have that week off<sigh> Thank God for travel insurance so we got 100% of our money back but still.....so sad. Anyway, we were talking about how much work is involved in going away either with the kids or without. I had to take my oldest to the ortho this am and I decided to see if I could find some new bras on the way home. It was not a good thought out idea, as I had all three kids with me and I didn't go to VS. Got home from all that and we got school done and now I'm wiped out...seriously, wiped out. I need to do laundry and pack but its just not happening and we leave, or supposed to,  in the morning! We have church tonight and I really, really want to go because its a new church and I want to see how Wed nights go. I just don't know how to get it all done. I didn't plan this out good enough and now I'm overwelmed. I'm bummed we aren't going on the cruise and bummed I couldn't find some new bras(totally my fault). So, we will see if myself and the kids actually leave tomorrow or if we will get up early on Friday to go.

But....dinner is in the crockpot and smells delish.....homemade spaghetti! So, thats one good thing!

Out of sorts....

I feel totally out of sorts lately. I'm not sure if its the fact that its a PMS week or if I'm just dealing with some emotions that I've kept at bay for a while. But, I know that I am PMSing and my kids are totally getting on my nerves. Everything is pretty much amplified right now and all the bickering and yelling is really getting to me. I love those kids of mine, I do. I wanted each one of them and I look at them sometimes in amazement that God choose me, little 'ol me to raise them. Some days, I desperately want to turn back time and do it all over again but I love that they growing up into what God made them. It truly is amazing.

My hunk of burning love and I are going away this weekend!!! My dad and stepmom want to keep the kids for 4-5 days so we are going to make the most of it. The kids and I are going to leave on Thurs and go visit one of my bestest friends, who just had a sweet baby boy, and then head to my dads that afternoon. They both live about 1hr and a half away.  I have a few errands to run with my dad on Friday and the hubby is going to meet me at my dads and we will start our fantastic weekend away. I do not know what is all in store but I do know that on Sat. night we are going out with some of our bestest couple friends from back home!! Its going to be so much fun!

And can I just say that I've lost about 10pds in the past 2mths!!! I'm super proud. I just need to lose another 5pds and its all in my chest! I'm almost to where I want to be!
