Too Little Time

So, I have been very busy the last few weeks..working a lot, hanging out w/ the kids, etc. Sometimes I go to bed thinking "what did I do with my day, because I feel more unorganized than ever". I think I could accomplish a lot if I had one week, just one, to myself without kids or work. I feel like I could get organized and then the trick would be to stay organized. Organization is key, in my opinion, because without it, and WITH five kids, you feel constantly overwhelmed and stressed. I can't even blog about it any further because I can feel myself starting to get anxious about it.
Anyhoo, Ron and I actually left town the weekend of the 7th and went to Chicago WITHOUT kids!! Can you believe it? This is the first time in eight years, since Kaylee was born that we have been anywhere together alone. I know, it's sad. We had a great time eating out by ourselves, no food to cut, no fights to break up, no "look mom, look dad, can i have this mom, can i have that dad?" We went to the Taste of Chicago, and we also got tattoos! Ron got a Michigan 'M' on his arm and I got a cancer ribbon in memory of my dad near the other one I have of a scrolly flower design on the small of my back. This one hurt way more than my first for some reason. Ron seemed to do ok with his and said it didn't hurt that much. This from the man who wanted general anesthesia for his vasectomy!! Ok, more later....I have many things to post about, stay tuned.
