Quiet Week

My life is usually crazy. Running around, working, cleaning, referring fights, endless loads of laundry, filling up sippy cups, trips to the park, cooking meals but this week has been quiet. After Shane's birthday Damon's parents asked if they could take the boys back to California. Shane would miss T Ball and school but the thought of a quiet house sounded like true bliss. One week alone with my husband. We packed the boys up and planned a week of fun. Damon had to work but we still had his week-end and after work.

Kisses were given and we waved good-bye. Shane and Trevor couldn't wait for a vacation without mom and dad and Grandma and Grandpa couldn't be more thrilled either! First stop, we went to look at cars but ended up coming home with this. We love it. Not something we were planning on but it made sense to get rid of the Sequoia and not have any car problems.Then, we planned on getting a pedicure. Something Damon has NEVER done. It would be fun and relaxing and then we would be off to lunch. The weather was warming up and a perfect day which means crime starts to pick up and ruined our day! Instead I went with my regular pedicure buddy, Julie, and Damon worked.While I have been enjoying lunches, dinner, and fun with friends Damon has been stuck at work. Working an extra 45 hours this week! He was out solving a murder and finding justice for various victims of violent crimes getting only 2 hours of sleep one night. Me, I made our year supply of freezer jam and went to movie. Shopped a little and hung out with friends. Sometimes I did get a little lonely and not quit sure what to do with myself. On Tuesday I cleaned the house. We had a house full of company and I went from room to room to clean everything up. Today it still looks like it did on Tuesday and I haven't done one thing since!No messes in Shane's room to pick up. And no messes in Trevor's room to pick up!

I have only done one load of laundry and one load in the dish washer! This has given me time to do so many other things! I actually played the piano this week. Some times I have been lonely and misses those cute boys but I have needed a quiet week alone.

The week with my husband didn't go as planned. We didn't see shows, stay at a hotel, or get pedicures but he still got a little pampered and had his first experience with waxing! My neighbor came to wax my eye brows and Damon reluctantly waxed his neck! I will say, men are such wimps about these things.


One thing that hasn't stayed clean is my desk. I have been working away at Piggies and Paws in time for Mother's Day. I am not clean when I am busy working away so a clean desk will just have to wait!

The boys haven't missed us once and are having a blast with their Grandparents and cousins. Life couldn't be any better for all of us!
