day one...

The bowling alley was CLOSED... can you believe... so ice skating was the ticket!
Daddy... granma... and the girlies donned their blades and set to the ice.
I had to sit it out... fear of making my back injury WORSE... I learned sitting ring side...
not moving... your toes & fingers FREEZE... like a box FULL of peach popsicles!
As cold as it was... NO WAY i was going to miss their faces!

so they could get back out there


So... today is day two... and i am hopping on a plane BY MYSELF!
Even though i couldn't sleep AT ALL... and am filled with huge amounts of anxiety...
happens EVERY TIME i leave the girls... it's hard to explain but i am SURE you know what i mean!
I get so worked up INSIDE!
WHAT is it?
Scares me to leave them... 
i KNOW they are in good hands... the BEST...
i still just find it hard to shake the feeling.    
Reminding myself HE will protect them... me... HIS hand is in it... ALL of it!
phew...
lots of anxiety!
The important thing... FUN thing... i am headed for a seriously good... GREAT time!
Meeting up with four fabulous girls...  
FURTHER west... cha ching!

Wish me luck...
with my nutty anxiety AND on the tables!   

Hope your FIRST weekend of the new year is positively perfect... JUST what you need!
