5/9/10 Weekend Notes

I'm tired, but want to make note of the wonderful weekend we've had.

Friday we traveled to the homeschooling conference. My family was so awesome and helped me get everything ready for the workshops we were hosting. Oshkosh, well, was Oshkosh. Its not my favorite town, but by now, its become a place of humor for us. Sorry Oshkosh. :)

Our Apples to Apples workshop went great. I was really surprised to see how the boys were not shy at all, and were so willing to welcome guests. I learned DS14 has quite a sense of humor, taking after his father.

Our other workshops went very well, despite the cold, rainy weather. I was just happy it did not snow. Many families were willing to put on a jacket and hunt down our Letterboxes. Twice the expected people showed up for our ATC workshop which was a pleasant surprise!

DH & I did not have alone time on Saturday, but it was still a great anniversary.

Sunday DH took myself, my mother in law, and the boys out for lunch at Micocina, my favorite Mexican restaurant. DMIL & I were given free peach white wine drinks and our meals were half price!

After lunch we went for a hike at the UW Arboretum. We followed a new interesting forest trail and ended up by the lilac garden. It couldn't have been more perfect of a day.

Today was also the last day of my medication so hopefully I'll start feeling better. I'm not sure my UTI is gone, and I've been feeling really run down, but hopefully it is gone, and it was the medicine zapping my energy. I'm hoping to have a more healthy week ahead.

Oh, Dawn!! I LOVE lilacs, and they don't grow in Florida. What a sight that must have been! The photo above is lovely, too. I can almost smell the flowers! Glad you had a great conference, and a nice anniversary and mother's day celebration!!

First of all, Happy Anniversary!:o) Glad hubby took you out!:o)

I'm sorry you're still feeling run down. I think when our bodies are so busy fighting off bugs they get warn down. It'll take a little more time for you to feel 100%.:o)

Sounds like the conference went well.Glad you had lots of participation!:o)
