A couple of weeks ago Garrett randomly said we should go on a cruise. I thought about not wanting to be tight on money... for about 2 seconds. He loves vacation once we go but hates and I mean HATES planning. This includes anything from a date night to a big vacation. So I was stoked when he suggested it. We looked into cruises and realized that the "all inclusive" price does not include alcohol. Not that we are a couple of alchies but when you go on vaca without the kiddo drinking is definitely a fun part. So... we started looking into All Inclusive vacation packages. Someone he works with suggested the Excellence Resort in Punta Cana. By the way did you know Punta Cana literally translates to mean Bitch Let Your Hair Down? Wow! So we looked into it and found a great deal on Expedia and booked it! So excited! So off we go May 2nd to a 6 day vacation on the beach.
Speaking of vacation...and beach... HELLO MOTIVATION!!! I will need to start busting some serious ass like today. I was going to wait until next week but we all know how that goes. I think I'll do my dvd at home today which I have dubbed "I hate you Jillian Michaels" and then head to the gym for a second workout.
So my boys are gone this weekend. Off on a camping/jeeping trip. I am so excited for them to have some boy bonding time but Garrison's first jeeping trip really freaks me out. So I decided not to be there. I was excited to have some girl time this weekend and be able to sleep in. My phone rings at 7:45 this morning though. It was Garrett telling me I forgot to pack Garrison's underwear. Really?!?! I don't think he quite understands that I never get to sleep in and this is bliss to me. So then he says, "Yeah, I guess I'll drive into town and get him some today." Good idea there Garrett... let's please not make our son wear dirty underwear for three days, thanks!
Speaking of Garrison he got in trouble the other day for farting on a girl at school. Oy vey... I grew up in a family 7 uncles and there is no way to avoid adopting male humor when you're in that environment all the time. So I will admit it - farts are funny! But I promise I did not teach him to do it on people. I can only assume he learned this from his father. Geez... and of course I had to be the one that his teacher told that to. What am I going to do with him?
So I was able to get dinner/drinks with one of my best friends last night. Forgot my camera though. I swear we have been great friends for over 4 years now and I don't think we have one picture together. Oh well - just another excuse to get together again soon. I am so glad to have friends who understand what it's like to have to wake up at 5 AM for work and therefore be tired by 9 PM. We had a 3 hour dinner and left 20 minutes before the live music started. Haha... what can I say? I'm an old lady and was so excited to just get home and go to bed.
Tonight another one of my best girl friends is coming over and we're just gonna' order pizza and chill at the house with some wine. Love my girl time!
Hope y'all have a great weekend! I'm off to face the wrath of Jillian Michaels...
