I’m home and I’m pooped! I had a wonderful weekend with new friends {& old} and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. I made a slight diversion from the original plan and spent an extra day/night in Birmingham… which meant I was away 4 days and 3 nights, I do believe that is a record for this mother of 3.
The drive was peaceful and quiet and I didn’t have to climb in the backseat until I arrived at my destination and that was to apply deodorant because I was so nervous the whole way up I sweated like I was working out {which I don’t do but attempted this weekend and is why my arm in the first picture won’t go down}!
When I finally arrived home yesterday my kids didn’t recognize me.
And welcomed me with blank stares.
I introduced myself as their mother, the tender of all their needs, the picker-upper of all their toys and it finally jogged their memory.
And they said, “We missed you, we love you, we are so thankful for you. What did you bring us?”
I cut John Martin’s hair before I left on Friday. Have you ever cut or trimmed the hair of a 21 month-old BOY? It’s extremely hazardous and difficult {even with candy incentives}. Well, I did the best I could but realized upon completion he slightly resembled Jim Carey from Dumb & Dumber but even better than that, Justin {my anthropologist/archaeologist husband} has been calling him Yanomamo. <—- click on that!
Can’t wait to share more about my weekend! It was a combination of time spent with 10 beautiful women that I’d never met {which is why I sweated the whole way to Birmingham}, a trip to the spa, a photography lecture and session, a wonderful time of worship, a trip to an art fair/wine tasting, and I wrapped up the weekend up by attempting 5 minutes of P90x… once my muscles are no longer confused I’ll be back.
and everything else was hilarious.
