Wedding Recovery

Whew!! Marryin' someone off is not easy task!! I am so glad the wedding and wedding planning is over!!!

It was a busy 2 days leading up to the wedding and then the day of was, of course, crazy. There were no casualties, for which we should all bow our heads and give thanks for. The day of was insanely crazy, but again, everyone survived (barely, just barely) and the bride and groom took off for their honeymoon and we all cleaned up.

We planned to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory with some very dear friends for dinner, so I had a huge decision to make. . . spaghetti factory or amputate both of my feet (they hurt so bad). I decided to skip the amputation and head for the fun and food and it was a wise decision. Some food just tastes better in the presence of GREAT friends.

Sunday was wonderful. Service was fabulous at Fresh Anointing and then of course, fellowship was great too. We stayed an extra night in STL to recuperate some more and to spend a few extra moments with our "framily". I think I am still trying to recover from the craziness of it all, but exhausted is no longer in the list of descriptions.

I resumed the "Great Slim Down of '09" today, since I fell off the wagon. I picked myself up, dusted myself off and said, "girl, you can do this, no more excuses." Seeing pictures of yourself on the internet, directing someone's wedding will make you want to shed as much weight as possible. Trust me. So if I bite Hubs head off later, he should know it's because I have had NO chocolate today. ~~Smile~~The Wii Fit and I also got reacquainted today.

Enough ramblin', I must go make dinner, just because I am dieting, doesn't everyone should suffer. ~~wink~~

Someone Flipped the Calendar and I Didn't Realize It!

A week, a whole week has just flown past me!! No wonder I am not getting everything done, we are apparently speeding through life on double time!!

This weekend, one of my closest friends is getting married. I'd put a link in for her blog, but she doesn't have one. ~~Hint, hint~~ I think a newlywed blog would be great, but she may not agree. She will have so much spare time, because now she won't have to text him all night. What else does she have to do, except fill us all in on newlywed life and adjusting. ~~Smile, love you C~~ Anyway, Makiah is the flower girl/attendant and so we are off to St. Louis again. So we get to do a wedding and visit my dear, dear framily (my own word for friends that are more like family). It's going to be an action packed weekend, in more ways than one. ~Smile~ I still haven't found anything to wear, so I am considering my pj's. Hey, I like to be comfortable and they are navy. Perfect!

Tomorrow I have to finish up trip laundry, pack up the decorations that I have to take, pick some odds and ends for the trip and start packing. I also want to have all the cleaning done. I would rather not come home to a mess! Thursday afternoon, we hit the road!

So, with three kids, diapers, underoos for the new potty champ, tons of extra clothes for same potty champ, Makiah's clothes and wedding clothes, decorations, shoes for all occasions, hair stuff (oh the hair stuff), an umbrella stroller, a cooler and snacks. . . I am not sure Hubs and I can go. . . no room in the van.

OH! And I need to add duct tape to my list!! ~~BIG Smile~~
