BUSY THURSDAY.................

We have a busy day today. We will be leaving this evening for Frank's school board conference, because I have to babysit until about 5pm. We are packed, except for the last minute things and I need to repack the diaper bag. But everything else is done and ready to be loaded. We will be home sometime on Saturday, as the conference ends around noon that day. Here is a picture of one of the rooms at the Hilton we will be staying at.

Frank asked me what I wanted for Valentines day, this morning. I really want the new Duggar book, and the one by the Gosselins, so that is what I am getting. I ordered them from Wal-Mart this morning. I had priced and priced and shopped and shopped and all in all Wal-Mart was the cheapest. They will be in the mail sometime next week. I know, I know, not too romantic, but I love books and I love to read, so that was and is something that I would not just buy for me, since they are not my normal cheap books.
I have been really down this week, I am having some issues with my sister, just younger than myself and it has really hit me hard. I think the only way to really get some peace and some closure with this is just to avoid her and to stay away from her, I know this is not the best fix to the problem, but she has really hurt me so much over the years, that I need to stay my distance and not continue to feel bad at her hands. Pray for me, this has really been rough for me and hard on me and it is really eating me up.
I hope that you all have a lovely Valentines day..We will go out to a nice dinner tomorrow night, since Frank's conference stuff ends at 5 pm tomorrow night. I really plan just to rest and relax and read tomorrow. I think I really need it, no fighting kids, no phone calls ( we will be roaming in Santa Fe, so I don't have to answer if I don't want too) and just a nice big fluffy bed to relax in and enjoy the quiet and the control of the remote....
