sometimes I can't fix everythingg.

"Happy News honey, by the way since the money didn't come tonight, we might have to wait until the end of the week"  7 days after rent is due.  Two possible outcomes and only one will fix the problem. We messed up in our math and I figured out how and why, but the one way I thought I could fix it failed and now I wait to hear back from my landlord to see if they will wait to cash the rent check. Next time don't tell me these things on holidays. Buzz kill

Icelandic goodness.

REYKA Vodka. An intense heat with a clean feeling. Not too exspensive. Has a bit of a citrus note to me. Good with Ruby red.

The cronicles of the terrible TWOS>.

He found the toilet paper my sister left on the kitchen counter.

A gift for me.

My Christmas present this year is a girls weekend at the spa without my son! We are staying at the Wilderness  hotel and going to Sundara spa. I'm taking my sister and our friend E with me as my gift to them.  I wanted to bring my bff with, but I don't know when she'll be back to the area. This will be the second time I will be away from my son for a 2 day period. I'm looking forward to shopping and eating without having to juggle an active toddler. I love him, but I need some mommy time. I have been to Sundara before and I got their signature massage last time and it was amazing! They have a purifying ritual you go through before your service. It  is spectacular. This year, I'm spoiling myself with a dream facial and a signature pedicure. My sis went last year too and is getting the same thing as me. Our friend, E, hasn't been their before. She wants a massage and a pedicure.  We are planing on taking a Sleigh ride and  going to KnuckleHeads.  I'm looking forward to going to Sarentos and the Brat House. I love going to the Dells. There's lots to do.  Plus there is a Tanger outlet and Market Square Cheese.  It's going to be a great trip!

I had a friend post this on FB. Yeah. I laughed and cried.

Day one?

I dropped my husband off at the bus station this after noon to catch a flight back to VA.  I don't know whether  to call today my first day of separation or tomorrow, but i think I'm the only one that cares. So highlights of it all are...
1. Pit in stomach. I felt like I had over eaten though I hadn't as i drove away from the station.
2. Sadness. I randomly cried as I tried to keep it together enough to drive the 30 minutes home.
3. Acceptance. Upon making it home and trudging myself and H up the stairs.
4. Relief. Why? It was over . The horrible dread that he was leaving for a good chunk of time was gone.
I came to accept it a bit ago. I didn't have to like it, but I could deal. Now I just want time to go smoothly. I promised daily pictures and emails. So between that, H and kicking my butt into shape( other then round), I think I will keep busy.

A day I was gonna hate.

Yesterday was the day I was originally supposed to drop off my husband at the bus stations, but God answered my prayers. All flights to Norfolk were canceled for a day. I got an extra day with him. I'm grateful and happy for it. .
