Top Ten Reasons I Loved My Visit to Mom and Dad's (10-8)

Being out of town and computerless did not help my Lent cause. Oh well. Try and try again. Here's a new start:

10)  I didn't have to think about food, mom just fed me what she thought up and made. It was all so tasty and really hit the spot. My new favorite dessert- cut up fruit and berries drenched in vanilla coffee creamer. Ummm, I'm salivating just typing it.

Most thoughts of food this pregnancy make me want to hurl. For the two days I've been back, I've missed not having to think about food, preparing it and then trying to consume it. I am grateful for those who fed me while I was away, thanks Mom, Dad, Jeff, Shauna and Brick Oven one trip pasta and salad bar.

9) Going to Mom and Dad's house without the children. It does a mom good to run away once in a while. There was less to pack, less to tackle, less food prep, less mess, less opinions on my music choices, less schedules which equaled out to more RELAXATION (aka, Heaven). I missed them though and think they all grew a foot in five days, especially Abbie.

Returning home I've been exhausted doing a million loads of laundry, some shopping trips and otherwise making up for my absence.

8) No contractions.
