Weekend Getaway….

The kids and I went to Owatonna, MN to a hotel that has two indoor water slides and a little kids water area. It was alot of fun. The older boys played a lot of video games and stuff. The service and reservations were terrible there. They messed up our reservations. The first night we had a kids suite which in one room the kids had separate beds and a TV VCR and Ninetendo. That was great. I had brought Elmo movie for Tommy which we needed. The second night we had to stay in a standard suite, which didn’t have all the things for hte kids. But it worked out better actually as the room was almost bigger I think. 2 bedroom suites are our new way to travel. Tommy sorta sleeps even since he is in a room by himself to fall asleep and then I snuck in later. We treated our selves nice and ordered Room service a couple of times. Much nicer than chasing Tommy through a restaurant or trying to get him to stay seated while we wait for our food. After Tommy was asleep the older boys and I played various board games until late. They usually out lasted me….but then I was the one getting up with the baby and had the baby in my bed for part of the night kicking me too!

THE VAN………
Well I had major repairs done one the van before we left to the tune of 1,100.00 ARGh…and while driving to Owatonna the Service Engine Soon light came back one, so back to the garage goes the van again tomorrow. ARGH!!!!!!

Other Old things break………
Our cars and our appliances are all very old. With my hubby having been unemplyed for three years we couldn’t and still can’t afford to replace things unless we are forced to. Today we were forced to!!! The washing maching died argh….ok the washer is 20 years old so we went and bought a new one. It will be delievered on Saturday. Good thing I was pretty much caught up on all my laundry, but that won’t be the case by saturday unless I go to the laundry mat. Luckily for us the washer broke on Labor Day so we did get a good deal with their labor day sale. But once again not money I had planned on spending for that. I really had hoped to pay off a couple of credit cards, but it doens’t look that will be happening now. Plus the hotel we were at messed up our billing and I have to get them to relook at the charges to my debit card. GRRRRR………

First Day of School……..

Josh is so thrilled that Josh is starting tomorrow. he has to be up bright and early. I baked him some apple struesel muffins today for his breakfast tomorrow. I plan in making muffins once a week or so for his breakfast. I made a new sandwhich for my hubby’s lunch as well, Roast Beef Supreme…I hope he will like that.

Tonight after Tommy was in bed I went to get groceries. I bought a ton of frozen veggies since they were on sale for 79 cents a bag. Otherwise it was mostly things for my menu and two treats for hubby. The man needs his treats. I also made a new banana bread recipe today, but hated it. I have to find one that I like. Any of you havea favorite Banana bread recipe. I have to make muffins and breads for Joshua’s breakfast. I really do believe in making a quick easy breakfast for my son so he will actually eat breakfast. My hubby hadn’t eatne lunches in ages, but his health hasn’t been the best. I started making him lunches for work and he eats each day at least twice now. neither one of them will take care of themselves unless I do it..and I do ..do it!

Well I am off to bed. I didn’t get to my cleaning today so I hope to do that tomorrow. Night all!! Hope you had a nice Labor Day!
