My Time Alone

This last week Cory was gone working the Mariners and Nana Gail offered to take the kids for me and give me a break.

I had several things planned and couldn't wait to get to it. I was finally able to use the birthday present Cory gave me and went to the T-Spa at the Tulalip Casino. I got my hot stone massage that was fabulous! It's funny because that is the massage I normally get and every place does them a little differently but all amazing. If any of you ever get the chance I highly recommend going here.

I was also able to get in many other things pedi, haircut, lunch etc. etc. but it was mainly just nice to have some time to myself. Friday morning I woke up with a stiff neck/back and Cory told me to call our massage lady and see if I could get in. Surprisingly she had a cancellation and I was able to go right in! Really, two massages in three days who could complain!
Of course while up at the Tulalip Resort I managed to get a little shopping in as well. I picked the kids up some more clothes. ALyssa got some "school clothes" and it was so much fun picking stuff out as usual. Her favorite color right now is purple. One of my favorite stores has the cutest line out for fall, I can't wait to go back and get even more!

I missed my family like crazy and nothing else really too exciting happened. The kids were having a blast hanging out with their Papa and Nana. They got to go to the fair with their cousins. I guess it was a good time except for being caught in the down pour.

On Monday I headed down to pick them up and took them over to my parent's house. We were going to go to the beach the next day but Alyssa was starting to get a cold. I decided if it got worse we would just come home. That night she was coughing all night, so that sealed the deal we headed home. It figures to since it got real nice!! Anyhow while at my parents house my sister came over and of course spoiled her. She probably would have Knox to but he isn't really at the stage to get him anything exciting. Poor baby! Alyssa had a blast playing dress up and playing with all her make up! Such a sassy little thing.

We are all home now and gearing up for yet another busy week and I'm heading out of town again, except this time leaving Cory with the kids! We will see how he does. I know he will do fine but it will be nice to here how thankful he is for me doing it. It will be a nice break for me since Im busy with stuff. Of course since I have nothing else on my plate I took on another board position for Alyssa's Co-op preschool. Let's get this straight, Im on 3 boards, selling Advocare, raising two kids a toddler and newborn, taking both the kids to numerous weekly activities, managing the house, golfing and lessons, finding time for my husband, family and friends and me! Im just wondering what else will come my way!
