I write tonight from a fairly nice little motel room in Virginia
We woke this morning (earlier than normal and I'm happy about that) and started gathering our things for the day ahead. By the time I got everyone ready and our things we didn't get left till around 12:30. I took the kids to my parent's house and then Hubby and I headed this way. I worried about leaving them as my Mom's sister had to be hospitalized today but my Dad and Anika assured me that they could handle it. Good news, she is in a hospital room now and stable. She has issues with her lungs so they will be keeping her a few days for observation.
The ride here was uneventful thankfully. It was a pretty drive and a slow one due to snow covered roads.
We arrived here around 5:30. It's so cold out tonight and I was just glad to get in the room & crank up the heat. We are staying at a different motel than we did the last time. It wasn't any cheaper but it was a little closer to the hospital for tomorrow's appointment.
Initially we were going to have dinner, just the two of us. We were tired from the drive though so we decided to just hang out at the room We ordered some Domino's and I took a NICE HOT bath while we waited. Hubby kicked back and watched some television! Oh and I ordered our food online. Yes I might be living in the stone age but that is the first time I'd ever ordered food online. It was a much easier process than I imagined!
We ate dinner when it arrived, watched some American Pickers and cuddled! Hubby checked out on me a bit ago. He's an early to bed kind of guy. I've been dabbling in a few sweepstakes. I haven't picked the habit back up full swing and honestly don't plan to but I do dabble on occasion.
We have a non smoking room so I've walked outside a few times for that purpose. Let me just tell you it's frigid cold here. Of course I think most of the country is right now. My heart goes out to those who are homeless without warmth.
I'll finish up my night doing a little writing and planning. We aren't doing school today and tomorrow- it's a field trip to grandma's as Axle says!
Hope everyone keeps warm!
