Before I leave my children, I pretty much freak out and worry about their well being and my safety and conjure up all kinds of crazy "what if"" scenarios in my head.

but once I am away, it is so liberating! and now that I am back I am thinking I could have gone for a few extra days and I am really tired because we didnt sleep much because it was Vegas.

we went to KA and Phantom and they were enjoyable (although this is a Vegas Phantom, but still good) and ATE A LOT!!! I went off the N o sugar wagon on the night of day 2 with some frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity and then some Key Lime pie from Grand Lux cafe (I had about 3 in Chicago so much better this time) and could NOT turn down a piece of wedding cake. At the rehearsal dinner I ate about 2 loaves of garlic bread. I LOVE bread!!

I wish I didnt get off my plan bc I didnt feel great after eating that stuff and am having a hard time now that I am back.

I got my first mani pedi, what took me so long??! other than the fact I never really had extra $ for it. and a fabulous massage/ time at canyon ranch spa.

We rented a convertible but were unable to use it most of the time due to crazy wind and stuff. The weather was odd.

the boys were out with Chris last night canoeing and are cranky pants, and I am too and you know when the momma ain't happy...I need to help EG with her George Ohr project. I really wish there werent so many things due and activities at the end of the year. It should be more relaxing.

I need some motivating words to do more grocery shopping! I despise it, but my kids are apparently starving, or so they lament. why is this italics??? blah blah. I need a few days of sleep. I will be good then, or a nap?!

oh and if I forget before Sunday, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !! to my mom and all you ladies!!
