Mom and Dads 4 day get-a-way












We needed a break. We needed some time to each other. We needed to laugh at grown up jokes and have adult conversations. We talked about the kids for maybe 30 minutes on the drive there and then i made us promise we wouldn't just talk about the kids. They were fine. I did call them every evening to hear about their day. But this trip, was for us. We ventured down to San Antonio for 3 nights and 4 days. Did a lot of eating out. A little bit of drinking and a little bit of shopping and a lot of sight seeing. We went for a 12 hour concert that was on Saturday. We had a blast. It felt good to get away. It had been 5 years since our last solo vacation. And we made a promise to each other to do this once a year. Now that the kids are getting older we will do this. It gave us time to reconnect with each other and just be. No interruptions. No kid bickering. No extra luggage and less bathroom breaks! I cant wait until our next vacation together....we already have a destination in mind!

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

Johnson Family 2013 ~ Year Review Part 1

   This has been a great year of change, growth and accomplishments. Jaxon turned 5 this year and started Pre-K. Jessie is in the 3rd grade and she turned 9 this year. Jill turned 12 and is greatly enjoying the 7th grade. Him and Jessie love doing crafts at the table. Paint, color, draw, cut and paste! They are defiantly my busy bodies!    This was the year for wild and wacky hair. Jessie went purple at the beginning of Jan. They chose crazy hair as a reward for staying on the A or A/B Honor Roll. They are now back to their original colors and, even though the wacky colors were fun and exciting, I am glad they are back to their roots :)    I had spent hours in 2012 on Pintrest. And one of my Resolutions were to start putting my pins to use! I have the girls bookshelf a makeover. And even pinned my own work on Pintrest!    I became "public" about my Alopecia. Only family and very few friends knew of my new condition. And once ...
