Life in the FAST Lane

This April my husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary.  I decided that I wanted to do something special, so I decided to take him to the track to watch drag racing. Before I met him he had raced an Alcohol Funny Car and was pretty good at it. I knew he would enjoy being at a track again so I started making plans for our weekend, a month in advance. I was very please with myself, I was able to keep it secret all the way up until the week of the races.

We were in the car and he told me he had to go to Lafayette Monday (the Monday after our weekend) to help his brother-in-law and wanted to leave on Sunday! Oh no! He had no idea we were already going to be close to Lafayette. I had to rat myself out. He was still suprised, but I didn't get the raction I was looking for. I wanted the stunned and shocked look when we showed up at the track on Saturday.

We had a great weekend and it was just what we needed. He works very very hard both at his Batterer's Intervention program and at the farm. And I, well as much as I love my children, being a stay at home mom isn't my most favorite job in the world (Gasp, I know), so I was ready for a break as well.

Since that weekend, it seems like we have all been living in the fast lane! My husband has had to go out of town to teach a couple extra classes and was a witness in court. And, Little Sister gave me a scare that landed her in observation at the hospital over night. All the extra happenings coupled with every day farm life just makes my head want to spin. Hopefully, the rest of May won't be quite so busy, but I am not going to bet on it, but I am glad I have God to help me get through it!

Enjoy your weekend dear followers!
