"All by my big self"

I have to thank Eliette (my cousin's daughter for the wonderful quote).

Here I am in San Diego, all by my big self! What to do with myself? Kent is working today and I slept in until 9am! I just finished a wonderful breakfast in peace. The food was hot, it stayed on my plate (no little fingers grabbing or asking for some), and I got to watch a little bit of the news. Who knew so much was happening in the world today? :)

I passed a door at the hotel and saw this "business room." I thought I would check my e-mail and blog a little in peace and quiet. It is weird.....

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of my helpers who are watching my kiddos. This re-charging weekend wouldn't be possible without you! There's a whole slew of you: Rebecca, Shelbi, Kelcey, Grandpa Chris, Grandma Phillips and Grandma Wagener.... I love you all! My kids, especially Brayden, have really been looking forward to their special time with you. Have fun and give them lots of hugs and kisses from me!

I do miss my morning snuggles and hugs! But I am going to be good and enjoy the time I have by myself and with my wonderful husband! Pictures to come soon....what will we do now??

Lins, I am going to call you right now! I hope we can catch up!

The recharging time sounds wonderful. You deserve it! Your helpers rock!

I totally relate to getting a few minutes to catch the news....there is life beyond my busy household? I used to be a news junkie before Connor arrived. Now when people are talking about current events I feel totally out of the loop.

Enjoy the rest of your recharge time.

OMG your on vaca?! I'm sooo jealous! HAVE fun and enjoy every kidless minute!

BTW, the bag isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Give it a try and if you get stuck, call me.

So sorry I missed you! I saw you called. I think it's great you are re-charging and you're a full plane ride away! I'm super jealous, but in a good way. Enjoy!!!

It's gratifying to note that you heeded my advice and stayed in the hotel alone, while Kent was at work!! You really NEED a chaperone, if unaccompanied; in a Navy town!!
