Been Awhile
It has been almost a week since I have posted. I was sick Thursday and Friday and was out of town over the weekend.
This weekend I realized I miss my family gatherings. My mom lives 14 hours away, dad 20 minutes away, grandparents 6 hours away, brother and sisters live in town and I still don't get to see family as much as I would like. Most of my family lives so fare away we really don't see them much. With the price of gas and our budget these days. It is just not economical to drive for the weekend and see them.
We went out of town with some close friends this weekend to visit their family. We stayed at a relatives house because hotel rooms are really expensive. They have 3 boy's and we have 1 so it makes for a very busy time. I was unsure about the trip at first. I was thinking a 6 hour drive with a 2 1/2 year was not going to be fun. Staying somewhere I have never stayed before might be interesting. I sometimes find myself looking at the negative instead of the positive. I had a great time! B had homemade chicken and dumplings waiting for us on the stove. The kids stayed up watching movies laughing and having fun. The next morning we had a huge breakfast with the family. It was a perfect family visit. It might not have been my family but it was FUN!
During this trip I did not think about any of the following:
1. Bills due
2. Housework that needs to be done
3. Laundry sitting there for me when I get home
4.WORK
5. Cooking for the weekend
Sometimes taking a risk is not easy but maybe you should try it sometime. Lately I feel like a little risk taking makes life interesting.
