Good morning
Well what did we do yesterday? Oh it was a heavenly one day vacation. I decided what we really needed was a break for our bigger kids. So we hired my sister last minute to come. And as she hasn't worked for me in a couple weeks she was over 15 minutes later
Anyhow as soon as she came we headed out destination unknown. LOL We dropped a check off at the bank for my mom and headed east. We eventually ended up in the closest "big" shopping town. We went to onlly 2 stores there. and spent a LOT of money ROFL. Toys R US where we bought the kids main Christmas present for each. (Backpacks loaded with craft supplies) And something for my Awana tree I'm decorating.
Then we went for lunch (Chinese buffet) our favorite restaurant in this town. And afterwards we went to Barnes and Nobles and spent over an hour there. It was like a candy store
And we spent a LOT of money there too. On new reading material for mommy and daddy. And one book for the kiddos.
Anyhow after that we headed most of the way home, and rented a motel. We knew we weren't spending the night there, but we wanted some place we could give Rainee a treatment and some place we could read. So we took LONG showers (our well is running low so this is a luxury right now) And then read our books and entertained Rainee baby.
It was just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo relaxing.
We headed home about 8 pm and just felt like new human beings.
I'm so greatful for that day. Haven't had one like it since before Rainee was born.
Today is our last day of vacation. Tonight we are gonna have my mom baby-sit Rainee. My mom is good with the nebulizer, etc. And I have a bottle of breast-milk pumped. We are gonna then take the big kids to the Veggie Tales movie. We all want to see it, and they have gotten the short-end of mommy and daddy's attention. So they will like that a LOT.
Of course we have a breathing check for Rainee today. She still sounds TERRIBLE! And a couple boring errand kinda things. But I can do those I feel so refreshed.
He leads me beside still waters.
