Back to Reality

This morning reality set in when my alarm went off early. Today I had to go back to the working world. That reality was hard enough but it made it even more difficult after such a fun weekend with my boys. Saturday morning Rob called and suggested we go support a friend at the Truckee rodeo.

We also decided to make it a spur of the moment mini vacation by staying overnight. The rodeo and hotel were nothing to write home about, so to speak. But the memories were priceless and enough to last a lifetime! When we got to the hotel P and Rob decided to take advantage of the heart shaped jacuzzi. Rob got P to like the jacuzzi bubbles after several attempts, all ending with P yelling, "No bubbles Daddy!". Finally, "No!" turned to "More please!". Although P and I didn't sleep well that night that didn't stop us from enjoying the morning once the sun made its appearance. We had the hotel's continental breakfast then walked along the marina to look at the boats. We also looked for trout and fed ducks.

Then we found a small, hidden treasure....a train museum in Truckee. P played with the Thomas trains/track for awhile but we had to leave to get to church. We then had to leave church early to go to a birthday party for one of P's little friends. After a super busy morning and little sleep the night before P took a long afternoon nap. Once he woke up and we had had dinner we finished the fun filled day by talking a mother/son walk around the neighborhood with the dogs. So, as you can see, this great weekend made it that much harder to go back to the working world this morning.
