Ever feel like you are running around trying to get things accomplished, yet nothing seems to get done? I have a serious case of that this morning. We are gearing up for the bachelor/bachlorette parties this weekend, and Brandon is seriously more excited for this than I have ever seen. The guys are taking off for a weekend of no wives, no rules, and more importantly no worries. They will be causing some rukus up past arrowrock this weekend and I am sure that they will cause a stir. There's like 15-20 guys headed up there. I can only imagine what will take place. Luckily I won't have any clue, and I am sure that I will get to hear all of the fantastic stories :)
Us ladies are taking a much cleaner approach, heading to our cabin in the mountains for an overnight get away. Don't get me wrong I am very excited to get away but as a mom I can't help but worry about my kiddo while I am gone. Is this something that ever goes away? Last night Brandon let me know that I need to let go and stop worrying so much, but is there really something wrong with that? Why shouldn't I worry day and night about what she's doing? I think it is only natural to want to protect your kids and look out for them. Well she is going to his mom's house which I am sure she will be just fine. but it is something that I will still think about all evening..... Am I alone in this battle of the mind?
So this morning was spent packing. I can't pack anytime before I leave because I would probably need something out of my bag and spend half the time unpacking and repacking. So I was scurrying around the house getting Chloe packed, my bags packed, Bella's bag packed (yes, my dog has a bag) and trying to get Brandon to focus and help. He was up way before me, like a child on the first day of school that waits for the bus a 1/2 hour before it arrives. That was him, his 4-runner is bulging and he was still grabbing things to add. He is leaving for 2 days, not 2 weeks. but don't tell him that. I think it is cute how excited he is, but just wish that enthusiasm was shown whenever we take a trip :) Anyways so here I am trying to get ready for work, pack, and watch some Dora with Chloe. Our morning ritual. Then I got the dog in the car, for those of you who haven't met Ms. Bella before (see side pic) she is a princess. And I mean that with the full term of princess. She cries, howls the entire car ride wherever we go. It makes me crazy, went through Dutch and they were kind enough to give her a treat which atleast kept her quiet for 7 minutes. Poor Chloe is in the back seat with her hands over her ears, she is telling me that she wishes she had the dog Bolt instead of Bella :) sweet child. Luckily she is staying with Nana for the weekend, and will be spoiled rotten while there.
Well before I head out of town, I will be hitting up the Gap and Banana for some friends and family shopping. Can't beat the extra 30% off. I mean seriously, you can never have enough baby clothes :) I am excited to spend some time with the ladies and veg on the couch will roasting marshmellows xoxo

no the nervousness never goes away. Pretty sure I left my sister and Malia together for a 1/2 hour today and then I called her up panicked and asked "did you accidently forget her in the car, I know she can be quiet sometimes and you're not used to having kids and now I've freaked that she's been in the car for a half hour in this heat!! my sister told me I was crazy and hung up. I'm sure she will be just fine, that's just a mom thing to worry:)
