THE END TO A LONG DAY...

WHAT A LONG DAY.

I ENJOYED A HOT BUBBLE BATH WITH CANDLE LIGHT...

PUT ON MY HUSBANDS PJS..

AND LAYING IN BED AS I TYPE THIS.

ITS BEEN QUITE A WEEKEND...TONIGHT I AM REALLY TIRED. I CANT BELIEVE I AM ACTUALLY ALREADY LAYING IN BED. I AM NORMALLY UP SUPER LATE EACH NIGH BUT TONIGHT MIGHT JUST BE AN EXCEPTION.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF FRIENDS OVER FOR DINNER. EVERYONE SEEMED TO ENJOY IT. I MADE GRILLED PORK CHOPS, GRILLED CORN, HOME MADE POTATO SALAD, BAKED BEANS, MAC N CHEESE AND PECAN PIE FOR DESERT. EVERYONE SEEMED TO REALLY ENJOY IT. I THINK I ATE MY WEIGHT IN POTATO SALAD. I LOVE HOME MADE POTATO SALAD. THAT STUFF YOU BUY IN THE STORE DOSENT EVEN COMPARE TO MAKING IT YOURSELF.

I WAS GOING TO TAKE PICTURES AND DO A " WHATS ON THE MENU" POST BUT I WAS RUNNING LATE FROM OUR PLAY DATE IN THE PARK SO I JUST HAD TO GET MOVING AND GET IT DONE BEFORE EVERYONE ARRIVED. SO I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET PICTURES AND PUT UP THAT POST. I WILL GET ANOTHER ONE DONE SOON. ITS FUNNY BECAUSE THE BEAUTY BLOGS AND THE MENU BLOGS ARE THE MOST READ..ITS PRETTY AWESOME THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE THOSE. I WILL TRY TO DO MORE IN THE FUTURE FOR YOU GUYS. 

THIS IS GOING  TO BE A SUPER EXCITING AND BUSY WEEK. TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY I AM GETTING THINGS DONE AROUND THE HOUSE TO PREPARE FOR THE KIDS TO COME AND THEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT ( OR MAYBE THURSDAY MORNING) WE ARE HEADING SOUTH TO PICK THEM UP. IT WILL BE A SUPER LONG JOURNEY..ESPECIALLY COMING HOME. THAT DRIVE IS SO HARD ON THE KIDS. BUT WE ARE TAKING A NEW MINI VAN WITH A FULL ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SO THEY CAN WATCH TV AND STRETCH OUT ON THE RIDE.

THEN THE CRAZINESS STARTS. BOTH OF THEM WILL BE SUPER HANDFULS FOR 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE USE TO THE QUITE! BUT WE WILL MAKE A TON OF GREAT MEMORIES AND GET THE MOST OUT OF OUR TIME TOGETHER. ITS HARD BECAUSE I WANT TO FOCUS ALL THE TIME ON KEEPING THE HOUSE TOGETHER, KEEPING LAUNDRY UP, AND DOING ALL THE THINGS I NORMALLY DO. BUT I HAVE TO LET THAT GO A LITTLE AND SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM. BUT JUST LIKE I TOLD THEM, SUMMER IS NOT ALL ABOUT RUNNING ALLTHE TIME. THEY WOULD HAVE ME RUN THE WHEELS OFF THE TRUCK IF THEY HAD IT THEIR WAY. BUT I AM MORE ABOUT TAKING IT EASY AND LETTING THINGS HAPPEN AS WE GO ALONG.

ITS HARD TOO. THE LAST WEEK THEY ARE HERE IS ALWAYS A TERRIBLE TIME FOR LITTLE BRITTANY. IT BRINGS A LOT OF TEARS FOR HER WHICH CAUSES A LOT OF TEARS FOR ME TOO. IT HURTS BECAUSE I FELT THE SAME LEAVING MY MOTHER WHEN I WAS HER AGE. BUT WE COPE AND TRY TO FOCUS MORE ON THE GOOD MEMORIES THAN THINGS THAT MADE US SAD.

SPEAKING OF MY MOM..SHE WILL BE IN TOWN THE SAME DAY WE ARE. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT? I WILL DUCKING AND DODGING TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO HER. ITS NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER BUT WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW, I THINK ITS BEST THAT WE STAY APART. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHEN WE ARE UP THERE. IT DEPENDS IF WE STAY ALL NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY OR GO DOWN ON THURSDAY. I KNOW WE ARE FOR SURE SEEING SCOTT'S DAUGHTER, LAURA AND HER BABY BUT THAT'S THE ONLY PERSON FOR SURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE. I HOPE WE MAKE TIME TO SEE SOME OTHER FAMILY. I HATE COMING TO TOWN AND NOT SEEING THEM. TIME IS SO PRECIOUS..I HATE BEING SO FAR AWAY FROM THE ONES I LOVE.

WELL I AM GOING TO RELAX THE REST OF THE NIGHT AWAY AND WORK ON TOMORROWS TO DO LIST.

SWEET DREAMS!
