San Fran

*pictures coming soon--technical difficulties*
my hubby pulled out all the stops for our anniversary this year. first, was the plane tickets out of town with arrangements for the kiddos taken care of. second, tickets to WICKED 7th row center stage.
shut up! it was F A B U L O U S! totally want to see it again. cracked me up AND gave me chills it was that good!
we saw the sights, ate dinner in 'real' sit-down restaurants, walked the Pier, took the scenic route {because no one would start crying or need to pee}, browsed the shops, and slept in. we could have stayed one more day, maybe two...or faked our own death and never returned. *wink*
the weather was colder than normal and the clouds blocked my view of "the bridge," but it didn't dampen my spirits one bit. and to think the whole weekend almost ended before it began with my gold medal sprint from security in terminal 1, to the gate in the basement of terminal 2. only to realize that in 5 years of flying delta this was the one time the flight would taxi and take off early...seriously, it was a totally "made for tv moment" and nothing an ice cold diet coke and krispy creme doughnut couldn't fix. plus i used the additional time to "people watch" in the airport. it was a dream!!

just what i needed

i've been struggling to create a routine that works, practice moderation in all things, and find the joy in motherhood that so many others experience. it seems to have been "one of those days," most days around here lately. but i'm better now because i watched this. it was just what i needed to hear. tomorrow will be a better day and a vaycay with my hubby this weekend is sure to help too.

it's always good to know that i'm not the only one struggling with crying, cranky kids. one day i'll miss these days. one day.
