a break

So I'm attempting to get out of town to have a little get away with the adults in my family. My sister is going to Las Vegas with her husband, a birthday gift, and then they're going to meet the rest of us in St. George. I'm really looking forward to getting away (I don't think we've ever done anything like this, just us...no kids), but it's the getting away that seems impossible to do. I feel like since yesterday I've been putting out fires.

Tess came home with red eyes yesterday and I took her straight to the doctors so I could find out if it was pink eye and then go from there (why do these things always happen to me when I've got a fun getaway ahead of me?). He assured me it wasn't, but I have to admit it wasn't my regular doctor so I do feel a bit skeptical. It's just one last thing I don't want to have to worry about that they're going to be plagued by pink eye while their Nana is here. When she woke up she didn't have a bunch of goop in her eyes so I felt good about what the doctor had told me.

I went and saw Bella at her school informance this morning. They dance and sing and inform the school about whatever topic they are learning about...this year it was the earth. It was nice and brief and fun for me to see both her and Tess one last time before I left.

To answer your questions from yesterday's photo. I had the camera on a tripod and I used a wireless remote to take the shot. I really wanted to capture the time we spent together on my bed reading/playing in the evening. While we were there I would take pictures randomly and the one I showed just happened to be one of my favorites.

I'll definitely be checking in as I'll have access to a computer, plus I need to let you know what I think about James Bond. It comes out Friday and my dad already bought us tickets. I can't wait.
