11.24.12

Having spent some time with my sister.... I can say I am thankful...  I know and understand bringing two kids let alone someone else/s child is STRESSFUL... to do that while still having JET LAG.. and the kids being "not on their best behavior'... is a lot for someone who does not have children.. I appreciate you and love you, Emmy...
So people laughed when I said I was going to Va Fri into Sat... we had so much going on tho... really.. just thinking about it... I am ready to fall asleep.
Friday: Drive to radio shack and game stop, go to bank, stop by and see Carol, get gas, go to pick up Jordan's friend, go back to radio shack (for proper adapter) drive to Va (half asleep), rake leaves for many hours, have pizza, then go to the Bull Run Festival of lights and Carnival... finish all the laundry (yes, I'm a college kid who brings all her laundry to my sisters... this apparently should not take place as I am on break from college and a mom??? I do not agree with that...) Actually sleep...
Saturday: TRY to get the tickets to print (an hour and a half) Pack the car (with Jordan's new tv and two sleeping bags more than we came with), drive (following crazy, frantic "we are late" driver) to the show, Park (apparently in illegal spots... OOPS I followed her and neither of us saw the YELLOW.. then again we weren't alone.. two other cars had the TOW stickers on them too...) Enjoyed the ICE show (a few pictures were taken before the cold "killed" our phones), McDonalds (YUCK- for lunch), sit in car from 1-5 (starting closer, from National Harbor), Made it HOME SAFE... just as it got dark....then quick get dropped off to a birthday party for Em and Ex and home at 8... CHILDREN ASLEEP....
Church in the am...  I am so happy we are home and will be able to Worship with our Church family  tomorrow.  So many things to give thanks... May tomorrow be a spectacular Spiritual Sunday...
Amen
