t-minus one day and counting

Its here the event that we have been planning for almost six months now: THE SPA WEEKEND! Nine of my closest friends planned a 30th birthday party for ourselves. There are seven of us who turn 30 this year, 2007 and the younger two who will turn 30 in 2008 are celebrating their birthdays early with us. It just happens that we can do this all together this year, we will miss Emily but she is busy pruning her lemon tree in sunny CA! Are we blessed, of course we are. Do we all have loving husbands who want us to go and enjoy ourselves, yes we do, but we are still willing to leave the kids with them and take off. Here we go, Friday morning I will take my children to their grandparents in Ohio and then onto Heidi's for me. I get to go to the airport to pick up the two flying in and then its slumber party birthday night. Megan has been taking a cake making/fondant icing class and so I am excited to taste her handiwork. Saturday from 9-3 we are spaing it, pedicures, manicures, facials, massages, sugar scrubs, lunch provided, bathrobes for the day we will not know how to act we all deserve this bit of pampering don't you think. Saturday night dinner out and dueling pianos. Sunday a day or rest relaxation and fellowship. I do thank the Lord that he has given me wonderful friendships with wonderful girls. Check out Philippians 1:3 and you will know my true feeling for all my blessed friends. See you after my weekend of relaxation and I will be up to the challenges of being a mom and a wife and a friend.

Many random thoughts

Do you ever have days that your mind just swirls around so many different thoughts? I am having one of those days. I feel my head taking off in many different directions and have no idea where its going or when its going to end. I feel almost restless with all the pent up thoughts. Maybe this will help me to get rid of some of the thoughts.

We have a verbal agreement with the owner of the house we are looking into buying. I had left a message with the owner letting her know that we had contacted a bank and a lawyer but we needed some more information from her. So I am thinking about owning a home. Where am I going to put all the furniture where am I going to store all my things. Around and around my head goes where it will stop no body knows.

I am getting excited for my weekend away. I have a very close knit group of friends from college and we are getting together to celebrate our 30th birthdays. (Two of the girls are younger and they are just coming along to humor us old ones but I am so excited they will be there.) It is a much needed break. From being lonely, with only my toddlers to talk to, from being a mommy, don't you find that a few days away gives you the drive to go back home and conquer the mommy world! I just can't wait.

Anyone know any good books? I am out of good books right now, nothing seems to catch my interest and I am looking for something to read. Please leave your suggestions!
