HIDDEN RETREAT

Saturday at last..........

The school carnival is OVER! It was last night and it went well. I won three items from the raffle and my son won one. I won an Albertsons gift card, a Body Shop gift basket and a gift certificate to Idaho Pizza Company(they worked the carnival last night and they were a HUGE hit! We decided that hot dogs and nachos were nasty and this was our first year selling pizza and it is a keeper!). My son won a gourmet food basket with a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake so he's on cloud 9. Today is all about family. I skipped work to clean the house. I had to make a spider cake and a cookie monster cake yesterday and my kitchen is in a sad state. But this afternoon we are going to see "Meet the Robinsons" and then out to Red Lobster. The kids are so excited! And yeah, I'm looking forward to sitting around while other people take care of me. Monday at 1pm we are meeting to open the cash boxes and see how much money we made. All the carnival ticket sales go to the teachers and all the raffle/silent auction ticket sales go to the PTO.

Finally have a day off........

One of my husbands employees works nights for QWEST. He had to have some hernia surgery and I guess QWEST pays 8-12 weeks full medical pay leave. So he's soaking it for all he can. Which means the past month I've been working everyday. Which sucks. But today I have off and I'm glad. Cause I think that awful cold is back and I need to run to Costco, Target and Petco before 1pm. Oh, and I still need to shower.
