It's a real disease.
I've talked about this before...long ago on the blog, I'm sure.
The symptoms are generally the same.
THIS year....the symptoms are FABULOUS.
I think Aaron might have actually lost his mind, and I am reaping all the benefits!
My home is stocked with every combination of chips and dip a girl could crave.
Aaron took up residence on the sofa and geared up for another weekend of nonstop basketball games.
Seeing that I was less than excited about a second weekend of this, I was SENT AWAY away for a girl weekend at the fabulous Meadows B&B.
Kasey's house.
A perfect suggestion.
A perfect suggestion.
The weekend was wonderful. I kept feeling bad for Aaron the whole time, thinking he couldn't be having NEARLY as much fun as I was. But each time I called to "check in"...I was told to "quit feeling guilty and just relax and enjoy the break" and was reassured that, he too, was having a fabulous time, and that the kids were fine.
And they kids really WERE fine. GREAT, actually. The girls LOVED all the extra one on one time with Dad, and were thriving on their balanced diet of Pudding, PEEPS, Popsicles, Pop Rocks, and Juice Boxes. Oh! and to round out those 5 basic food groups...FUN DIP.
He put the kids to bed early Friday night and soaked up some nacho cheese dip and NCAA goodness.
My Friday night was spent with a few other gal pals, stuffing our faces with delicious food and watching Twilight on DVD. I will admit that it IS better the second time around, but I still wanted to fix Edward's horrible accent, and Bella's annoying 'chew on your words before you say them' non-habitual stutter. I can't believe I took ZERO pictures of the evening. Fun Fun FUN times. We finally called it quits at 3:30am.
I slept in...and on Saturday morning, I awoke to the smell of bacon.
We met up with Jen for Pedi's.
The day was spent shopping, eating, laughing, obnoxious singing, and scrapbooking.
I had a second night of uninterrupted sleep (this time we went to bed a little earlier, so I could actually get the rest I was sent there to get). It was great. Aaron started snoring about 6 months ago, and with the added weight/discomfort of pregnancy, constant need to go pee, and two little girls that often wake up before the sun...I can't remember the last time I had even a 6 hour stretch of deep sleep, without at least one interruption. It was glorious... and I managed to squeeze in a loooong hot shower (with no little people coming in to open the door and tell me something) before I headed home Sunday morning. It seems I've also forgotten what it's like to not have to rush through a shower.
I felt extra clean.
Thanks Kasey for opening up your home and entertaining/spoiling me all weekend! You rock!
I came home to bathed children and fresh tulips on the table.
REALLY!
Aaron,
You are wonderful. This weekend was great. You knew what I needed without my even have to tell you or ask. More importantly, thank you for giving me a life that even after my fun, relaxing, weekend, I was still excited and happy to come home to. And thanks for the pretty flowers. Thanks for everything. I love you.
Hugs, Megs.
If this is how it's gonna be, I hope he catches March Madness every year!
