Buses and Children

So this is how my morning routine rolls...I get out of bed get dressed get lunches made then go to each child's room and rudely ruin their blissful sleep.

My goal is to get everyone up and running by 7:00 a.m. Most mornings I am met with moans and groans and then slow moving turtles with snappy little mouths. Most mornings are stressful, but one thing remains the same.

My constant race with the bus. The bus stops by 2 houses down from ours to pick up a kindergartner. It is when I hear the bus stop my heart starts to race and I go instantly into military drill. Get in the car, hurry, hurry hurry. We live in a U shape neighborhood the bus goes up the U on the left and I go on the right. I am usually able to beat it and have my kids dropped off at the stop before the bus gets there with just seconds to spare.

Today was a bit of a challenge she didn't stop at the kindergarteners home I panicked. My groove was thrown off. I almost ran the stop sign...she was already at the bus stop and picking up kids. Ugh I was waiting for cars and watching her pull away. As I turned to go to the bus stop a miracle happened. She stopped the bus (just special for my kids),..I was so so happy. Thank you kind bus driver lady! You made my day!

A moment of Heaven

Blair and got a moment to escape reality. I went on a business trip to Las Vegas and got to take my bestest friend. It was nice to have someone as amazing as him to lay by each night. We decided since we were so close to California we would take our rental car and head for the beach.

It took 6 fun hours of driving and much anticipation...finally we made it to San Diego. We checked into our hotel then off to find the beach. We headed to Mission Bay it was packed. We kept driving to La Jolla. We took a road that headed to beach front and ran into a surfer. Blair asked where the best place to enjoy the beach was and he said "Big Rock". It was only a mile up the road.

To our surprise we had the beach mostly to ourselves. We spent the rest of the day there. Watched the sunset there. It was heaven! I am so lucky I got to spend a week with my love of my life and enjoy two days of beach fun and sun. So so lucky!

I'm back

Let's see I think I'm going to try to do better at this blog thing. Not that I have a great following or anything. Just want to document my life as it happens. So this post is short and sweet...more to come
