She has the sweetest little voice when she says it too. I ended up taking Rebecca and Allison over to my Family Life 2008-05-10T01:23:00-05:00 http://www.fivedollarshake.net/index.php/site/weekend_trips/ http://www.fivedollarshake.net/index.php/site/weekend_trips/#When:00:47:00Z Gerry and I love to get away for the weekend. With both girls and my mother in law in the house we have a real need to get away for some peace and quiet and a real need for privacy. There has been a few times when things were getting just a little too crazy and stressful around here and we didn’t even take the time to plan ahead. What worked great for us was planning a last minute trip to Florida online. It was wonderful and so relaxing. The best three day weekend ever! It had to be my favorite vacation yet. I can tell you from experience that web sites like Dialaflight.com are awesome. Looking at Dialaflight.com I see all the information we will need to book our next getaway. Um, can some one say Boston? I can see us on this flight to Boston! No matter if we are searching flights to Florida, Boston or flights to Toronto, Dialaflight.com offers every detail from the flights, hotels and rental car information to many travel ideas including weekend breaks, beach holidays and even relaxing spa information. I also really like it that at Dialaflight.com it’s easy to speak to a live travel consultants, who will ensure that all of your requirements are fulfilled and your plans are set. That means so unpleasant surprises. Which we have had our share of with last minutes trips in the past.

Yesterday I was so sick I was back home in bed by 11:00am and slept until almost 2:00pm. I got up and soaked in a hot bath for a while. That seemed to really do me some good. I think I am finally feeling better today. Of course I am higher than a kite on cold meds right now but I really think I am better. I guess we’ll see when I come back down.

Allison was so worried she wouldn’t be able to make it because it started at 5:15 and most days I am home from work just about that time but lucky for her her dad was home in time to take her. I hope they are having a good time. It’s been a while since she has been out some where with just her dad. It makes me smile at the thought of them standing in line for popcorn and Allison introducing him to all of her little girl friends.

It’s a beautiful morning and a new day and I am determined to make it a good one.

It started with the alarm going off an hour late because we forgot to set it last night and it hasn’t gotten any better. To make this day last even longer I have to take Allison to a Brownie meeting this evening from 6:30 to 7:30 and I have no way of getting out of it. Not when my daughter is this weeks troop speaker and has plans to talk all about her trip to Europe. I guess it would make me a pretty bad mom if I made her miss that because I am having a bad day. How bad of a mom would I be if I showed up at Brownies smelling of booze? Would that be any better? Nah, I guess I can suck it up and race home and get my self together, splash some water on my face and throw some jeans on before her meeting. She only has one more meeting after tonight and then the troop is done for the year.

She is also just about to move in to her first house so I have been trying to come up with something that will not only be a nice gift but maybe some thing she can use. Over the weekend she gave me her very long wish list of things she needs and wants for the house. On it is a throw or blanket for the back of their couch. So, I am thinking instead of just any plain blanket or throw I should order her one of those really cute photo throws for Mother’s Day. We all know I have enough beautiful photos of Rebecca to chose from. In fact I think buying personalized photo throws as a gift is such a great idea that I am thinking of buying my mother one as well. Since I have been giving my husband hints that I would love a photo throw featuring both of my girls for at least three years now, I just might go ahead and order one for myself while I am at it.
