When's My Vacation...SATURDAY!!!


OK so I am getting my vacation...sort of. I am going to the SNA (School Nutrition Association) Conference in Monterey, California on Saturday. It will be from Saturday until Wednesday. I know it is for work, and I am going to be busy learning about nutrition and how to work well with others, and such other important lessons (that I need to do better with) but I am going to be at a hotel...with no kids!! I will get to sleep without a kid coming in for something for the first time in um... well in a year. Abigail started getting into bed with me at 4 am every morning. And she is a crowder. When I get up and move her out, she is back in a matter of minutes. Haley wakes up to go to the bathroom, Jason has a nose bleed, etc, etc, etc. I am so excited to get to spread out and sleep without getting kicked or hit in the mouth. I am so excited to wake up with enough time to get myself ready, and not have to worry about where someones school uniform jacket was left the night before.
This is a working trip, and I am excited about some of the speakers. We get LOADS of free stuff too. All of the companies that sponsor the conference do gift bags of goodies for us to have. We also have a catered dinner at the Monterey Aquarium on the last night. Stedman Graham (Oprah's Man) will be speaking that night as well.
I hope it goes well at home. I hope Lewis doesn't have too much trouble with the kids. I hope they do something besides play computer and video games. I am sure they will go somewhere...out to eat maybe? To a play land? or Boondocks Fun center? I will miss them, but I will enjoy being away for a few days alone too.
