Packing for my Retreat!

   This is the Doubletree Guest Suites on Tampa Bay.  I will be sleeping here tonight! Yea!!I won't be swimming, but as you can see it is right on the bay.  Our meetings will be held in this room.  First Class all the way!  I really need a get away after this week.

I have neglected my animals this week.  I need to get a new routine going, but I haven't done it yet.  Robert comes home mid morning to feed everyone for me.  I just hate to go out to the barn after I've showered, so I have to remember to go feed them before I jump in the shower.  We are thinking about selling our horses as we don't have time for them anymore.  Wes was the one who rode them the most and he isn't living at home anymore.  They are expensive "lawn ornaments" as my j-land friend Sherry might say!

The sun has finally come out today in my part of the Sunshine state.  It has been gone for too long!  Gloomy and drizzly for the last 4 days.  And it was cold out this morning!  In the 50's!  Crazy!!  I hope it is nice out this evening for a beautiful stroll along the bay!  I can't wait!  Ok, I just counted and I have already used 12 "!" in this entry.  I must be in a good mood! (13)  I have no idea what my family is going to do tonight. . .I hope my husband doesn't let Katie go out on a date.  I will be a wreck knowing that she's out running around and driving and who knows what! (14)  He always falls asleep before she gets home, I'm the one who stays awake until I hear her come in.  I can't sleep until all my chicks are safely tucked away.  Except for Wes.  Who knows what he's doing.  Now is when I just have to pray for him and hope that all the good morals and upbringing pay off.  Frightening!

Well y'all, I have got to get back to packing.  I don't need much, but I have to find everything andwash a few things.  Have a great one!  I'm taking my camera to get some good shots of the sunset and the sights.  Bye for now.

My bed tonight!  Are you jealous?
