What is wrong with me?

I still haven't unpacked since my trip to Charlotte.

The suitcase sits on the bedroom floor full of now-wrinkled clothes.

There are two other bags with random travel items in them, still sitting there.



What is wrong with me?

Big trip, snow day and sleep!

I went on a trip to Charlotte, North Carolina.

Alone.

Without my boys.

I cried the entire first half hour of the trip and called Kevin, who said something like, "Put your foot on the gas pedal and drive...you deserve it...you haven't gone anywhere for four years."

True, but still...

I went to visit Mary Kathryn, Jon and Andrew in Columbia, SC, and then MK and I went to the National Orff Conference in Charlotte. It was great fun and we had a blast. I was gone from Wednesday last week till Saturday. Check out pictures on MK's blog.

I really did have a nice time, getting a break from everything at home. And, it was very hard saying goodbye to MK and her adorable little Andrew.

Then, when I got home, we got a snow day treat on Tuesday!

Danny and I made a snowman...there wasn't much snow, but here's our little guy:



We had a nice day together. We made chocolate chip cookies, played outside and spent a lot of time enjoying each others' company.

And, for some reason, this week, Benjamin has slept through the night...ALONE...several times. OMG...it's a miracle.
