The Secret Life of a Stay at Home Mom

::enter gif of fireworks here....lol::

Greetings from NC!!!!

We've been here a while now, and I've not been able to get within 2 feet of this computer. My aunt has her stepkids here and let's just say....if you want to keep your fingers, you won't be trying to get the keyboard from them! I have never seen anything like it....they start at noon, setting the timer in half hour intervals, and finish at 3 am. Yes, I said 3 am. Needless to say, the family and I have been doing a lot of sightseeing on our own this time! It has been a wonderful vacation, however, and we've been able to relax quite a bit.

Yesterday we spent the day in Waynesville (I thought of you Martha!!!!), and it was gorgeous. It's the most beautiful mountain town with the greatest little shops. My favorite shop, Old Brick House, has the best smelling candles in the world. Betsy bought me one for my birthday....Creme Brulee....and wow does it smell good! Hayley bought me a wooden carved cross with Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus, at my favorite Christmas shop. It's beautiful! After we were finished in town, they took me to the Moose Cafe for my birthday dinner. It was delicious! And wouldn't you know, the special that day was turkey and stuffing....my all time favorite! We came home and sat around talking and visiting....and by the time we remembered my birthday pie, it was too late for me to eat....so I'm thinking I may have to have some for breakfast! LOL. I had a great birthday....relaxing yet filled with several exciting moments. I loved it!

I'm not sure what is going on here today....this evening we have a neighborhood party to go to at the clubhouse, and of course, tons of fireworks after that. It should be fun.

Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes!!!! I can't believe you all remembered....heck, at this age I can't believe I remembered it was my birthday! LOL....oh crud....I have to change my "about me" section, don't I? What a coincidence my crs is kicking in right about now!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!!!
