This year I celebrated the last birthday in my 20's...yes mama its true....your baby girl is now 29!!!! A couple weeks before my birthday I had taken Maddie to school in the typical frazzled mom fashion. oh come on you know what I am talking about. Sweat pants, tshirt, old flannel, hair thrown in a scrunchi and raccoon eyes, no time for brushing of the hair, let alone teeth. I had said my usual "prayer" please God don't let me run into anyone I know, and let me not get in an accident on my way (you know the always have on clean clothes rule!) So I had made it safely home and was anticipating the promised toast and eggs when I walked in the door. Well clearly that was not what I came home to. I opened the door and my dear sweet hubby was standing in the dinning room with a weird silly look on his face. I asked him what was wrong and he said nothing, just glanced into our bedroom, what? I asked again, now feeling a sick feeling arise in my stomach. Fearing the worst. And there they were sitting on my bed, all perky and excited and ready to be the bestest friends to a old tired girl who really really really was in need of a vacation! My 2 best friends had apparently been scheming for months!!! They had pulled out a suitcase and all my clothes said "hurry up shower, dress, and pack, we are leaving" I think at this point I was in shock....where is my coffee my brain was shutting down. pack? and the words that came out of their mouths next were like angles singing "we are not coming back till Sunday night!!!" (and my dear readers...this was Friday morning!!!) I think my heart stopped!!!

So off we went, and they blindfolded me...standard procedure apparently for "official girl napping" they had thought of everything, even rescheduling my chiropractor appointment so I could go there first!!! Then off to Disney, yes.... I know, 2 nights in a hotel, and the happiest place on earth! Jen, Laurie and I had so much fun. The food was so yummy, the weather was great, a little rain never hurt anyone! plus without kids who could complain?! For once I got to be that stranger who gives the mother in line with the screaming children a "knowing nod" it was great!!! Thank you to all the hubbies who forked over the cash, and changed all the diapers while we were playing all weekend! What a great birthday!
