a few days away

So thursday night I left for Indy for bored (lol) meetings. I left after a CRAZY day at work and got home to Ashlyn freaking out on me about leaving. I kept telling her that it was only till Saturday and I will call as soon as I get there. Finally I had to shut the door and drive away with her in the driveway screaming "don't go mommy"....talk about heart broken. The funny part is that Jak is usually the one saying don't go and the only thing he wanted to do was to beat me with his new sword that he bought with his allowance. ahhhh, such a sweet boy!

I made it to the outlet mall with about an hour to spare and my main goal was to go to the Coach outlet and buy myself a nice purse with a piece of our tax return.....I ended up going to the wrong outlet mall and spending it on the kiddos at the Gap....and me :-) They have the cutest clothes!!! How dare I try to think about buying myself a purse when they had clothes on sale with 40% off!!!! Oh well, I will reward myself another time.

After a long drive and a rough day I made it to the hotel.....about an hour or so before mom and dad.....and noticed that there was a king size bed and a couch....yeah, i got the couch! it was actually a sofa bed but when unfolded it looked more like thick blanket instead of a mattress. I was ticked...i soon got over it after whining a bunch. Oh, and do anyone of you deal with men who snore?!?!?! This is new for me because my husband doesn't...THANK YOU GOD! after finally getting to sleep on the horrific mattress I was woken up by the pigs on the farm next door....oh wait, those weren't pig snorts....IT WAS DAD! If it weren't for my mom being a witness, I would've killed him.....it was torture.....worse than torture!! arg, I can't think about it because it makes me mad!

On to Saturday....we are getting ready to go to lunch when I get a call from a customer saying that their job that was delivered was wrong and they needed them asap....oh, and they are located in Illinois....luckily enough the owner of the PIP in Indy Pendelton Pike was willing to go into work and run the job for me....mom and dad drove it to the customer....when will being an owner really pay off?!?!?

I finally made it back to thunder with a few hours to spare. This was the first year that we took the kids and they loved it! it actually worked out great because we got invited to the Harbours with some of our Indian friends. No worrying about bundling up for us! Ashlyn walked back in after the first firework shot off and watched through the glass doors while Jak was amazed at the colors and shapes. I'll upload pics as soon as I get them out of my camera.

Yesterday was granny's birthday so we went over there for dinner and fun times then Jonathan took the kiddos to cubbies while I stayed at home with an icepack suffering from a major headace.

Today Ashlyn and I went on a field trip with her class to see "If you give a pig a party" It was tooooo cute! She loved that mommy went with her to the play and then we had Ashlyn and mommy day complete with going to old mcdonalds, mommy's work, the accountants, then back home. She is way too easy to please sometime. We had a great time!

Well, thats about it in a nutshell, how many of you have given up on me and are just now realizing that I have gotten back in the blogger mode?!?! :-)

blessings!!
