Don't be envious but last weekend my hubby and I had a wonderful weekend away. Just him and I and a peaceful hotel room. It was heavenly. We rarely left the room except to eat and we had room service for that to. Just wonderful. I did not miss or think about the kids at all. Now, now don't think I'm horrible. I just enjoyed my hubby and sleeping so much.

Kind of like when my oldest first went to camp, when he got home I asked him if he missed me. He said," no, I was having to much fun to miss you."
In other news, Derek played a guitar solo at our church's fine arts competition. He loved it. He got a superior rating and was sooo close to moving onto the regional level. I was so impressed. This was the first year he was eligible to participate and he did so well. He has taught himself how to play, I definately think he has a gift for music. His memory amazes me.
Now for something crazy...the other day I was kind of bored in the house and my hubby was working late and had a bible study group in the evening so he wasn't around all day, it was also raining and icky, so...I took all the kids to Chuck E Cheese. It was fine but I was exhausted afterwards and we were out past the babies bedtime. So I actually missed having some peaceful time at home. Emma loved it. Just say Chuck E Cheese and she lights up.

I was just thinking how, not that long ago, I used to go up in the tunnels with the kids. Just the thought makes my knees hurt....guess I am getting old.
It's a shame our youth is wasted on a time when we don't know how to appreciate it.
Okay, I know I'm still young but let's face it....after 6 kids there are some things I'll never get back.
Now I'm getting depressed......
