We had a nice time in Palm Springs this weekend. We spent A LOT of time in the pool. Did some night swimming, day swimming, eating, drinking, played Wii, napped*, watched dvd’s, drank, ate, swam, walked around town in the evening, drank, ate, swam. We’re red, tired and broke. lol
I could really kick myself because I completely forgot my camera in the car and got no pictures this weekend. None. Oh well.
The condo was cute. We had a corner upstairs unit with a private patio that I loved because I could go outside and smoke without disturbing any of the neighbors. Our kids were able to make lots of noise without disturbing anyone either.
We got up this morning and were in the pool just after 9:30. We had to make the most of our time today because we had to head home this afternoon. The girls start school tomorrow and tonight is Mister’s first night of working his holiday season, he’s gone to nights. So by 5pm he was heading to work. We left Palm Springs at 2:30 (and when we left it was 111 degrees!) and were home by 4pm which was just enough time for Mister to catch a short nap and a shower then he was off. I’m going to have a hard time falling asleep tonight, not use to him being away. It’ll take some getting use to. The bummer thing is that after next week he’s going on 7 days a week at work! It pisses me off but its what’s required of him and he sees the rainbow at the end of the year, a big pay out for his extra time over those months. IMO its not worth it, but hey I’m all about being greedy and wanting family time.
So we’re home, I’ve got everyone unpacked and school ready. Laundry is done, kids are showering and my stomach is pissed at me for eating out so much. Ugh thankfully our weekend get aways are over with and I can get right again.
*OMG you should’ve seen, our room had two twin beds in it. Mister and I walked in, looked at each other and said Oh Gawd. We ended up sleeping on the pull out in the living room on the sofa bed (oh my aching back) and giving the room to our girls. Saturday he and I went in the room to take a nap before going out to dinner. I said Honey, lay with me, please. He looked at me like I was on crack, then shrugged and said Scoot over. He and I (big as we are) slept together on a fricken twin bed! LMAO We slept on our left side for an hour then rolled over, together to the right for the other hour. Think Three Stooges! lol God I love that man. He could’ve told me Hell no! but he knew I wanted to be snuggled and he did it for me.

Sounds like a great place to get away!
I hear you on the having a hard time sleeping when your husband’s away. Mine has been having to travel for work since he started it nearly a year ago, so he’s gone one or two (or more) nights a week, and I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to it!

Welcome back
Sorry to hear that it’s holiday time again for Mister, I remember how hard that is for you. Glad you had one last weekend together before he starts the daily grind.

Work schedules like that definitely suck.
Glad you had fun. The image of you and Mister napping in a twin has me giggling though. Definitely 3 Stooges-style.

Jay, yeah 111 was a bit rough. We got back to the city & the temp dropped 30 degrees!
fadkog, in a month or so I’ll be use to sleeping alone then he’ll come back to a day schedule and it’ll piss me off! lol
Nikki, yup its that time of year again. Ugh.
Jen, smart man he is indeed!
Sue, it was sort of like me seeing Beth & Matt sleep ALL NIGHT on the bottom bunk before we went to Mexico! lol Too funny.

Damn, that is hot! Glad y’all had a great time but it will be nice to get back to a regular schedule eh? I know how you hate when T goes on this schedule. But I also know in another month you’ll adjust and be glad to have the remote to yourself. lol Dude, it would be tough for me to sleep on a Twin by myself, that T loves you!

I don’t want to ever read a word of complaint about that man. He spoils you in the most important ways.

I hear you on the work schedule! This week is going to be rough cuz KK is covering for someone so she’ll be working 9-9 4 days this week plus her regular schedule on Friday and Saturday. But the money makes up for it (somewhat).
Sounds like you had a great weekend. I love corner rooms…they’re great!
Hope the girls had a great first day of school!

Glad you had a good time.
