Almost Ready!

Starting to get excited about leaving in just a bit. It was a long night around here. Husby worked till 8.. came home got me. We went and grabbed some food and drinks at Applebees.. Actually the drinks were really good.. and then went shopping and then came home and hung out for a while. I wanted to visit with Michael.. talk to him about a few things.. explain how to care for the pets ( like he doesn't already know ) . We all spent about an hour together and then I came upstairs and started the big job of packing.

Clothes packed..

Lots of make up packed..

I wanted lots of options!

Got a lot of my brushes ready.. plus more in the purple case.

Even remembered the sleepy time tea.

All the laptop stuff packed except for the computer.

shoes boxed up up go.

Pillow and blanket for me.

And I am still getting things ready. I am almost done. I am about to just pass out. I slept 2 hours last night and up all night tonight. Yea.. going to feel like total shit and plan on sleeping most of the way.

So a little information for ya. The little boy we will be seeing is named Zane. He is 9 years old and I won't say that I not nervous about going around the ex and all but shit.. Scott has let my ex husband stay the night with us and have dinner at our kitchen table in Ohio. I just have to roll with it. I am trying to be supportive of Scott seeing his son. They were freshly divorced as was I before we got together. But.. knowing what I know now.. I would have cheated in a New York second for him and I am pretty sure he would have done the same. Hes my everything and I love him dearly. Yes.. he can upset me at times but nothing so far that has changed our love for each other. But you know,  our relationship is real..good, bad and in between. Anyone foolish enough to think merging 2 lives is easy won't be able to hold on to any relationship for any length of time. Never. No trouble in Paradise here baby.. Just a marriage where 2 people sometimes fight. Its pretty clear when I am upset about something.. I don't just air it on here. I mean who really wants to hear it? I have exploded on here before but not at my husband. That won't happen. If you want the details.. too bad its not happening. Only people I love and trust get the details. Its so funny. I have a core set of some of the best girlfriends ever. And I will put my mom in that category too. They are nothing but supportive and when I need to rant.. they listen. But I think what really makes things work is being brutally honest. It works for Scott and I. Sure feelings have been hurt before over it but its better than not. And when I am wrong..those close girlfriends - spread all over the US from the west coast to the east coast - will put me in check too. But they are loyal and loving.. and you can't ask for better than that. You guys know who you are.. I love you. Really I do. Today was crazy for so many reasons. My one friend said if I was to blog about today's activities.. I would have a million hits. I couldn't write a story like what happened today! Its funny now to all of us but wow.. was it a crazy day! And it wasn't all realationship stuff either.. It was things straight out of the movies! =)

I figure its just the beginning to a crazy few days in swampy Louisiana. I don't like being unprepared so I tend to over pack. I have a huge purse that also has a ton of crap in it. I got a smaller one packed because I won't want to always carry this one around with me. Its funny, Scotts crap seems to load down my purses when I have a big one.

I just heard Scott's alarm go off. So time to get off the computer and finish things up. And if he doesn't get up right away .. that's ok too. I am starting to get sleepy and I am just going to lay back and wait on him.

Have a great day. I know a couple of you are heading to Mardi Gras. If you recognize me.. in all those mass crowds.. feel free to say hi!

I will be blogging from my phone along the way. Hopefully it works great!
