I forgot it was Sunday for a while. So there for I forgot it was blog time. I don't think I will post this until Monday morning. Mostly because I don't want to have someones phone going off at midnight telling them they have a message. I don't want to be that person. I like my friends and I don't want them to not like me.
Real quick week review before I get onto this trip thing. The bone scan showed I have arthritis in my big toe. That sucks but that isn't where my pain is so we move on. Tomorrow I am going for my MRI. YAY fun. Either way there is no problem with the bone and that makes me happy. I did cry though after I got the news. I just want this over. I want to be able to do the things I want to do and I cant. So I was kind of cranky there for a while. But it is what it is and I cant change that. Both kids where home for break this week and I was going to run away from home. But considering I cant run I wouldn't have gotten far. Yada Yada is was a week. The end.
So here is the exciting thing. The kids and I are leaving in 2 weeks for Kansas City, Mo. We are going to be spending a week with old friends and the hitting the Arch and then Woodhaven. I can NOT wait. I miss Woodhaven. I might have to extend vacation by a few days. As long as Dave has food in the house I don't think he will care. The dogs on the other hand might care. They might care a lot. They get all kinds of weird when we aren't home for a few hours. I think a week will send them into a panic. Its kind of like OH No he sent them to the pound. They are never coming back. Reversal if you think about it. They are probably thinking he sent us to a different forever home lol. But I will be calling and I will tell my husband to put my dog on the phone. Oh yes I am that person. I don't want my old lady dog dying of a broken heart. Hell if Dave believed in Skype I would skype my dog. Yes I would!!!! But he wont do it so whatever. Hater.
We will be leaving early and rolling through Illinois. Our first stop is Lincolns New Salem. I am excited about this. Austin just wants to get to Kansas City. Ever thing we do on the way out there is just going to annoy him because he wants to see his friend. I think that after 5 hours in the car the kids are going to need to stop and stretch their legs and blow the stink off. This is the perfect place. See I am packing a picnic lunch so we can eat there instead of spending way to much money at McDonalds or some other crap like that. Lord I am going to try to be good while on vacation. If for no other reason than because I am on a shoe string budget.
Next is Kansas City. Well outside of Kansas City but still cool all the same. We are going to spend a day sitting my a pool and playing at a smaller but still awesome water park. Then one day we are going to Legoland and maybe, possibly the zoo. But I don't know about that yet. I have to see if I can get a coupon or something because it is a little pricey. We are going to go to a state park in Kansas one day. Then the kids are going to play video games and be dumb for a day. Then sadly our vacation will be coming to an end. We will head out through St. Louis and see the Arch. OK I am a big nerd, this really excites the hell out of me. I don't know how Lex will do she is terrified of heights. She will survive. Even if I have to put blinders on her and guide her.
Then we are going to Woodhaven. The place of wonder since I was 1. I love this place. it is a part of me. When my Gigi sells it a part of me will die. But I understand why she is doing it and I support her 100%. But we will spend 2 glorious days at Woodhaven. There is something about sitting at the pool in the middle of Corn field America that makes you feel awesome.There is almost no cell reception up there so it is nice. There are no street lights. The speed limit is 15 and the campfires start just before dusk. There are smores to be made. A trip around the lake in a row boat, stopping under the weeping willow and taking pictures, and chasing geese. There are memories a million to be made in Woodhaven and I plan to make them.
Then we go home. I am thinking that this trip might be a little longer than I had planned lol. But that is the good thing about being a stay at home mom. I get to have this time with my family. That in itself is amazing.
Well it is time for spell check, a prayer and then bed. This MRI wont come to me.
Dear God, Thank You for today. Thank You for loving me and guiding me when I feel I am struggling the most. I know that You answer my prayers. I am beginning to see it more and more in my daily life. I must remember to be humble. I struggle there. God, please help me with my food in the weeks to come. Help me to make wise choices and help Alexis make wise choices. Help me to know when to stop being kind and start being firm. Please guide us as we make our way through this crazy mixed up world. Oh and please be with my Grandpa Don. Please help to make him comfortable.
In Your name we pray. Amen
