I just got back from our semi-annual girl's trip. Ryan is still in Cincinnati with Hannah so I'm not sure if i'm going to nap or be productive. We shall see! The trip ended up being a lot of fun. The plans started getting a little awkward and crazy, because some girls were backing out for good reasons and then there was a little drama, but hey we're girls what else could you expect. But it ended up that everyone could come for at least one night. We did a lot of shopping, and resting and talking and rule breaking!
Friday night we had 2 adjoining rooms which was nice, but on Saturday there were less of us so we just had one room. Well the room we were supposed to stay in had some problems so we had to switch rooms and blah blah blah, but basically through all this I did not have the keys, but the front desk lady said no big deal they will be deactivated anyway. So later when we got back i thought it would be fun if i just tried the key to see if it worked, well it did! So Lisa wasn't feeling good and wanted to sleep in some quiet so we told her to just go and nap in the room until housekeeping came. But a couple of the rule followers were getting a little nervous about it so I told them i would be honest and just ask the housekeeper if we could just stay in there for another hour and then come back. Well it was this sweet man who spoke hardly any english and i thought we had come to an agreement where he would come back after an hour. but then the housekeeper manager lady showed up because she did not understand the situation. so i explained to her the situation and told her that we would have our friend move. but she said don't worry about it they will just clean the room tomorrow. so then we thought...free room! by this point the keys had been deactivated, but we just kept the adjoining rooms propped open. So I could tell the rule followers were a little nervous, but they didn't say anything, so us rule breakers followed thru with the plan and 2 of the girls slept in that room! Then this morning at around 8 am i heard a knock in the "illegal" room and voice that said "housekeeping". it was such a funny scene because Heather woke up and i heard scrambling about and then heard her say in this frantic whisper "Jamie, i've got your socks, let's go" and they ran into our room. apparently we forgot to unlock the latch from the inside so we could hear that they couldn't get in. so i went and unlocked it real quick, and then shut the door for good. well by this time they were already gone, so of course the whole morning we were just waiting for someone to come and kick us out or make us pay for the room, but nothing was ever said and we went on our merry way after enjoying the yummy belgium waffle at the complimentary breakfast. i'm still a little nervous that somehow my credit card is going to be charged, but i don't think it will since it already shows that we were checked out of that room. so i'm not sure if we could call that room a blessing or not, but it was fun! I'm sure you can appreciate that story Tracey as one rule breaker to another.
I had another big victory too, because usually when i pack for a trip i turn into this grouchy and stressed out beast and it's not very fun to be around me. but this time i managed to do laundry, pack for me and for hannah, and clean the house all with a positive spirit! thank you Lord!
Well i guess I will try and be productive until I feel the napping bug hit me.
