LaDonna’s Beach Week
Last Saturday, LaDonna went to the beach with 7 other women for the week. It was a girl’s week at the beach. Grandma is watching the kids for 3 days and Kimberly is watching them for the other 2 days. Last night they stayed the night at Grandma’s and so it was kind of weird being in the house alone.
I bought LaDonna a new camera for her birthday so we sold the old one on Craigslist yesterday. The guy lived in Durham so I told him I didn’t have the kids and I would meet him halfway. I got on the motorcycle and rode to meet him, sold the camera and rode home. It’s kind of weird to think how much free time I might have if we didn’t have kids. I know some of you are still at that point, and I never regret having them, but last night it was nice to just be able to take off and ride the bike.
I was reluctant at first to let the kids spend the night at Grandma’s – for selfish reasons. I like Lonna coming to wake me up in the morning (when it’s after 6:30) or when Bryce calls for “Daddy”. He knows Mama is gone for the week so I get most of the attention, except when Grandpa’s around. Bryce usually talks about Grandpa as much as anyone.
It was also nice not having the kids last night so I could work on an assignment for school. I’m taking Intro to Marketing and Microeconomics. I should have only taken one of them at a time. I’m just not motivated enough to work full time, help with the kids, and then spend my free time only working on school. I guess I’m still too selfish and like to play X-Box too much. I have a Marketing plan that is due next Tuesday, so I worked on it last night some since I didn’t have the kids.
I hope this doesn't sound like I don't love my kids, because I do. They say and do the sweetest things. The things they remember are amazing and the things they learn by watching and listening are mostly funny.

I've learned that nothing makes me love Ethan more than having a little break from him...especially at home when you can get things done and have down time (being on the road doesn't count!).
