I Was Gone One Whole Day

by admin on July 31, 2009

So I am back from Boston, actually been home since Thursday. And boy what an adventure it was.

I arrived in Boston after a good flight and promptly got a cab to the hotel (after getting lost in Logan airport because I wasn’t paying attention). The cab driver scared me more than the flight did as he hit about 75-80 in the tunnels of Boston. When I finally saw the hotel I was so relieved to be out of that cab!

The hotel, the Fairmont at Copley Plaza, was absolutely stunning. I have never been to Boston before and certainly have never seen a hotel like this one. It was breathtaking. I spent some time after check in getting coffee at the nearby Starbucks and taking pictures of the gorgeous buildings around me.

The TJ Maxx – Marshalls Event was wonderful, the PR team, the people who worked at TJX and all the bloggers were absolutely wonderful!!!! That being my first event as a blogger has really set my standards high for future ones, as they really gave us a good time. I even won a pair of Coach high heels playing the Off-Price Is Right game.

After the amazing shopping excursion we all got we boarded the shuttle for the airport. I started feeling like I was coming down with something. By the time I got to my gate I had a fever and couldn’t breath my nose was all stuffed up. I had to buy cold medicine and Kleenex, all the other passengers waiting for the flight were looking at me like “Oh great I don’t want to sit next to her!”

I also saw Donald Sutherland in the airport and of course my camera was at the bottom of my stuffed to the max bag so no photos :( My flight was delayed twice and I didn’t get home until 1:2o am. Hubby made me soup and I promptly passed out only to wake up at 4 am not being able to breath again. UGH!

So that leaves me at today, I think the kids saved up all their bad behavior for me today. I am still sick and just really not in the mood. Here are just a few of the things they threw at me this morning and afternoon:

  • Little A filled her pull up and before I could get my hands on her to change her she started to be chased by the puppy, who got a hold of her rear end and pulled her pull up DOWN and Little A was dropping what was inside all around the house. Great mess to clean up.
  • Had two arguments with Josh…damn teen years
  • Little A walked up to me and wiped her Dorito dusted hands on my brand new pants! UGH!
  • That wasn’t enough, nope next she came up right beside my chair with a BBQ sauce container from McDonald’s that she got a hold of and proceeded to squeeze it so hard that it popped open, spewing sauce over everything.
  • Big A gave Little A ice cream without letting me know, then went to her room. After about 5 minutes of Little A and the puppy being quiet I thought something was up. The dog then came around the corner covered from head to toe in ice cream…..(can I please get a break)

And that is just the best that has happened. Hoping my day calms down so I can take some medicine and get knocked out. I feel like I have been beat up and…
