All by my self

This coming week I am preparing for my family to come for a nice long visit. One of the things that I need to do is get to a Walmart to pickup various things. The nearest Walmarts are either in Utah, or Vegas each a good 3 hour drive. Joe and I were going to take a day trip to Utah to look at a car and go to Walmart while we were there to kill two birds with one stone. This plan has fallen through. Now, I am going to Vegas BY MY SELF! Joe is staying home with the kids while I am gone from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but what you have to understand is that this is the FIRST time since the kids were born almost 8 years ago that Joe is watching the kids over night without me there. I know that I will come home to a house that looks like a tornado hit, and the kids will probably have skipped a bath, but I'm confident that they will survive. And as for me, it's a short break that will be very busy, but I can't wait!
