Feb. 28, 2008 - a weekend away

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......

Hi Amy,
We too just had a weekend away. Don't feel horrible. Sometimes we need that. We went' away the weekend before valentines day. We actually only went 45 min from our home to Strasburg, PA.
It was so nice. I see you are from PA. So am I. We live in Lebanon County. I have been homeschooling my girls since 2001 and still love it.

Thanks for the post on my blog! I so enjoyed reading about your recent weekend get away. I know what you mean about just staying in the room...it really can be Heaven! Just to truly enjoy one another. It was a lot of fun to read your responses on my blog. I, too, think it would be great to live in Montana. I've never been there, there's just always been a strange yearning in my heart for it. Recently, it's just been anywhere North of here. Well, it was wonderful meeting you, I haven't been on much lately, but stay in touch!
