Las Vegas or Bust!

I took Friday and Monday off. I thought I was going to Las Vegas with my girls. We had it planned since February. It was going to be just the girls. No husbands or kids.

Then Zoe called me, she is my best friend. If I didn't know her, I would not like her. She just found out that she was pregnant.

A Day later, Dawn called. She is my other best friend. She likes chocolate. She found out that she is pregnant too!

On Thursday before I was supposed to leave, my oldest son spiked a temperature. He ended up staying home on Friday.

On Sunday, we went to our friends house. He has a beautiful home in Lake Elsinore. He has a pool in his backyard. It was hot as hell! My youngest son decided he did not want to wear shoes. The next day, my last day off, he could not walk. The soles of his feet were sore from running on the concrete deck. So we kept him home from daycare.

Needless to say, the trip was cancelled.

I have not had any me time since 2004. For the past four years, I have been pregnant, giving birth, nursing, getting pregnant again, giving birth again, and nursing. I have had to keep my wits about me for the sake of my children.

I wanted this time to myself. I wanted a weekend with no husband, no kids, , cell phone or email.
