A day off?

I was really excited this morning...I was going away for the day with my girlfriends and leaving the children behind! Yippee! The president of my MOMS club (who happens to be one of my closest friends here) was really gung-ho about going to the PA MOMS club convention. It was held fairly nearby, and sounded like a day of give-aways and food.

But it wasn't quite...shall we say...fun. We weren't allowed to sit together to eat or listen to the speakers, and when we weren't listening to the speakers we had to talk about MOMS club stuff. I mean, I guess that is the point of a convention, and I should have known better. The moms at my table were very nice and equally disgruntled with their clubs. The food was good. Well, okay. I had picked the blandest thing offered when we registered a few weeks ago, because I didn't want to vomit all over the table. Now that I am feeling better, I really wished I'd had the tastier options. And I really wished the caterers had worn deoderant. Very appetizing. But the prizes were really great (although I didn't win one). I'm just too cynical about all the rules associated with the MOMS club and it irritates me how unfriendly some women can be...especially when put into roles of "power". It's a volunteer organization for crying out loud! But, again, the women at my table at least were friendly and talkative.

Anyway, not quite the day away I was imagining. Jeff and the kiddos had a good day. It sounds like Lily took two really good naps, so that makes life easier. Andrew is still waking up around 5:30...so he is just miserable at the end of the day. I just don't know how to snap him out of it. It is virtually impossible to keep him up late, because he is such a basket case. And there seems to be no way to make him sleep in the morning or take a nap in the afternoon. -sigh- I guess this just means the adjustment will be really easy next spring.

So not much to report about today. Sorry it's so boring...but that's what you get when I post every day!
