WW – Home

April 28, 2010 by Elaine

I went to bed at 7:52 p.m. last night.

Although I did not fall asleep right away. I watched some Glee, which if you ask me there was a little too much Kristen Chenoweth and a show with no “Rachel” is just wrong. But hey, not my show so…

I think the long walk and weekend of girl time REALLY caught up with me. You know, around 7:53 after I laid my tired body down…

Also, have I mentioned what a FABULOUS husband I have? Not lately? Okay, then I will.

When ne picked me up at the airport he told me all the laundry was done. He’d mopped both the kitchen and living room (our L.R. is huge and all tiled), plus he had a plan for dinner and my car was washed. And the boys had fresh hair cuts.

He really is THE. BEST.

And because he’s so wonderful he let me go here to be with friends. He made it so that I could have time away to be rejuvenated. (just look at that water so Clear and Fresh!)


Sometimes I wonder how I got to have him and no one else. But it doesn’t matter, he’s mine forever and that’s all that does.

Time away is always good and needed. But home is certainly where my heart is…

    Beautiful photo – how nice to go away somewhere special with some great friends AND come home to a clean house and wonderful family!

    As a Glee fanatic I agree, too much Kristen and not enough Rachel last night! But I still can’t wait for the next episode, last week I thought was brilliant.

    Nothing better than to appreciate, and being appreciated.

    Pretty much sums up the secret to a good marriage, don’t you think?

    Glad you’re home safe and sound after a fabulous weekend.
