what am i forgetting?

i'm off this weekend to our church's women's retreat. a friend of mine, and i are leading the worship sessions and we're really excited about it... but i can't help but feel like i'm completely spacing some major thing... i did go to the grocery store today - i got fish sticks, tator tots, mac and cheese, and cereal and milk. eric should be set b/w that and the ham, eggs, cheese, and crackers in the house. doesn't it sound like good daddy and kid food?! i've considered having a casserole in the fridge for him to throw in the oven... but honestly - if it doesn't happen, eric will be JUST fine. he does great when i'm gone - tho he ALWAYS appreciates me extra when i get home :)

we're headed out in the afternoon and hoping to get up there early and get a good run thru some songs after we get the keyboard and sound system set up. i have to go get a lesson in being tech savvy this afternoon... we didn't schedule to meet until RIGHT before we left.. that way I surely couldn't forget the important information! Ha ha!!

the kids seem healthy... noah's been temp free for a few days now - so here's hoping it all stays away while i'm gone.

i am nearly giddy with anticipation be go get a whole night's sleep (doesn't mean it will be long though with all us women's gabbering) w/o kid potty breaks, cries for "I tirsty", and screams from "naughty dreams" or scary sounds... a night w/o having to kick the cat off the bed b/c she keeps crawling up on my feet or the back of my knees... a night where i don't have to get up to put the binky back in the baby's mouth and a night where i am NOT heating up a bottle to shove in the wailing, yet eager lips of Joey! and guess what... i get 2 nights like this!!! can you say CLOUD9?! :)
