What a Weekend Can Do.


Wayne decided to take the kids to Rapid City on Friday. So they hopped on a plane and left me all alone for the weekend.


(If only you had any idea how happy I was. There really are no words.)

His plan was to go to Deadwood and to hang out with Mom and Dad, his friends, and just chill.
Instead, Caeden got a stomach virus almost immediately upon arrival.

And no one did anything.

(And for this I feel really bad.)

So, here I was in Denver. Just me. Alone.

(To all you Moms out there with small children. Can you not understand the joy a break gives?)

And before you judge me, thinking I should be missing them, I did. 


But here is what I did with the weekend to myself:

1. Whatever I wanted.

2. Like ... painted my toes, deep conditioned my hair.

3. Worked out twice a day (oh yes I did).

4. Hung out with my Mom and Sister and laughed. Wedding planned.
Laughed some more.


5. Drove everywhere with the music turned up too loud. All the time.
6. Had dinner on the back deck with friends
(Happy Birthday Allen!)and drank margaritas.

7. Did whatever I wanted. Again.
8. Went to bed too late. Slept in.

9. Chilled with friends.

10. And finally, starting to feel like myself again.


 (Thanks, Mom, for coming out to help us all week.
For knowing just what would help.)





**Wayne is the one who deserved the weekend. I wish he would have gotten one, too. But, on the upside, he's feeling great ... and on chemo break for 1 week.

  1. You lucky girl... You totally deserved it too! I don't think I have ever had a weekend to myself in my own home... A weekend away, yes. But home, never. What a treat. Your hair looks gorgeous and deep conditioned alright.

  2. Much deserved break for a daughter, wife, and a mom who gives constantly.
