From bad to AWESOME!!

Last week was just horrible. I am amazed I even posted anything considering what all we went through. Thursday Benny ended up at the doctor with kidney stones and so I haven't gotten much sleep. I can't sleep when I am worried or when he doesn't sleep. Apparently when he is on pain pills, he doesn't sleep. So there was a lot of tossing and turning and me making him drink water. AND, it was cold and rainy almost everyday. That didn't help. I had made a deal with Benny that if he would rest all day Friday, we would get out and do something Saturday. We both had cabin fever pretty bad so that's why we loaded up and went camping.

It was really peaceful and beautiful. We were the ONLY people there so that just made it that much nicer. We went up to Arkansas and camped on Lake Greeson. The kids had a blast yelling and hearing their echo. Since no one else was there, we let them yell all they wanted.

Then something crazy happened. I got my ass kicked by my own camper! We were setting up the awning and somehow it came apart and slammed me into the camper by my shoulder. I hurt my hand and shoulder but was OK. The rest of the time we were there was great. Cooked out, fed the geese, screamed with the kids, and played Yahtzee.It was so wonderful. Except, my hip, shoulder, hand and back are soooo sore. That camper is one tough cookie. The drive home was good and when we got home, I once again couldn't sleep. That's the reason for the very long post I posted yesterday that I did at 1am.

Yesterday morning when I woke up, I just knew this week was going to be better.

I looked out the window, and it was so beautiful.

Benny was back at work and doing so much better.

Plans are seeming to fall into place.

Everyone is feeling better and I didn't have to give someone medicine.

Little Man is coming home Wednesday (I haven't seen him in over a week!).

Then, it got even 50 times better. I get online and go check all the blogs that I haven't got to read all weekend.

I head on over to The Scattered Mind Of A Tattooed Minivan Mom and guess what,

I ACTUALLY WON one of her giveaways!!!!

I had to read it twice because I just knew I was reading it wrong. The person that won the first time didn't claim their prize so she had another drawing and it was ME! I'm no fool and I claimed my prize right then.

This is what I won. The wonderful people over at Eden Fantasies are mailing me The Massage Therapy Kit by Kama Sutra. WOOHOO!

I am so excited and can't wait to get it. After the beating my camper handed out, I need it. Thank you so much C and whoever the first winner was that didn't claim their prize! You really just made my week.

I know I will be impatiently waiting by the mail box until it arrives.
