OK, OK, I know I went off on a tangent about how great it was going to be to have a quiet house and no one to worry about but myself and the baby this weekend. But, to tell you the truth my family hasn't even been gone an hour and I already miss them! It's eerily quiet here. I was so torn all day about whether I should go or stay home. I hate to miss a weekend with the family because that is the only time we have to spend quality family time together. Now, that won't happen again until next weekend. A few minutes ago I texted Gabe to come back and get me. Lol. I also was a bit teary eyed. Ahhhh. But to tell you the truth, I really feel like God is giving me this wonderful opportunity to get some much needed rest and relaxation and to recharge my Mommy battery. So, here's to a quiet weekend and a fresh happy recharged Mommy when the family arrives home on Sunday!

Last night I watched the third episode of Minor Revisions with Jennifer Fulwiler. I have really enjoyed her show. I also really enjoy reading her blog and articles on Catholic Register. She is so funny! Another blog reader who I also enjoy reading is Simcha Fisher. She is a hoot but always has good advice.

I decided that I want to try and catalog our children's book collection and I'm hoping to get to it this weekend. That way when when I go to the semi-annual huge Gainesville book sale, I won't buy double copies. My love for children's books, and books in general was give to me by my Father. He has a very large collection of books and we always read growing up. My sister Melissa also loves collecting books, and we keep an eye out for each other at book sales and thrift shops. It's a fun little hobby.

So I have the post-partum hair loss thing going. :( Going from losing only a hair a day while pregnant, to chunks of hair (meaning 10 strands or so) a few times a day is annoying. And it seems to be everywhere and in everything. But I just got to remember "this too shall pass"

We definitely need to get to the beach sometime soon. It's been too long. Yep, that's what crossed my mind today. Maybe I can find a camping spot somewhere on the beach next weekend for another camping trip. Or at least a day trip next weekend. We need our beach fix. I know Juliette would have a ball!

Less than a week until Ash Wednesday! I gotta get my fix of sweets in over the next few days. :) Gabe bought my favorite ice cream flavors, Pish Food and Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Ben & Jerry's and a box of my favorite brownie mix from Trader Joes for me to enjoy while they are away. About three times today Elias said, "Mommmy I know you're going to eat brownies and ice cream while we're gone." Poor guy has been dying to have some brownies. But hey, they are going to get s'mores and that's one of my favorite things about camping. I just might save the box of brownies to celebrate their return home Sunday though. And I know one little boy who would love that. :)

Well, all is quiet and I can hear the clock ticking. Connor is sleeping so I'm off to get a glass of wine and some ice cream while I watch a movie. And I just remembered that I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow! And I won't be woken by any little voices, or barefeet running......but I think it's going to be nice. I haven't had that luxury in a long time.
Happy weekend all and don't forget to head over to Conversion Diary for more quick takes!
