Brrr

I love Iowa!! It was 6 degrees this AM when the kids and I headed to the bank! But first let me tell you about the weekend. Miss A woke up @ 230AM on Friday and threw up!! I figured that was the end of my weekend away. I cleaned her up, DH took the bedding off, and by 3 everyone was back in bed (i did NOT do laundry this time, wasn't that bad). She didn't wake up till after 7 then on Saturday. Called my parents and said well i guess they won't be coming. Miss A ate her breakfast and seemed 'normal' so i was like now what??

DH said 'go, I'll stay home with them' to which i replied 'no I'll never hear the end of it'. But i went. I was able to get a hotel room for $35! and Miss A seemed fine. I left @ 11 on Saturday and got home yesterday @ 3. It was a very nice time. I didn't even feel guilty. Once i got going the guilt went away. I think b/c they were home with DH I really wasn't worried at all. BFF and I shopped, ate, shopped, drank wine, talked, shopped, see a pattern here:) We got back to our room @ 945 with cheesecake from the 'Cheesecake Factory' and ate that and drank wine coolers and wine. We blabbered, well i did, BFF was passed out while i talked and at midnight we went to bed only to find ourselves awake. So we talked about nothing some more:) It was divine till @ 230 the kid upstairs woke me up. Gosh darn it I go away for the weekend and i STILL am awakened during the night. But it didn't last to long.

We shopped some more yesterday of which my BFF is like the queen of bargains. I can make a full round in a store and she's not even a 1/4 of the way around!! Wow!! She can spot the clearance racks from the parking lot I swear. I like to look at the clearance stuff but i rarely find things. I'm to tall, my arms are to long, my guyt is to big, you get the picture:)

So yeah, here i am at home. Kids are napping and tonight is night #2 of circuit training. I didn't find shoes this weekend but got some cute workout clothes. DH has not said anything about me going away for the weekend, accept he's wondering when his weekend away it. I say he gets to go away every day and very soon will be in the fields and i'll be lucky to see him before i go to bed!

Yes, so very cold here but as i told C'man this AM when he asked if he could go swimming? Very soon!! like FOUR months. Yeah i know depressing but really Spring is coming!
