The TEPSA Conference was great. Lots of fun and laughter with many of my colleagues. Oh yes, I did some shopping as well. Bath & Body Works was having their semi-annual BOGO sale. (I love BOGO!)
And, of course, I had to visit Gymboree and purchase new outfits for Paris and Tripp. Couldn't leave Skip out, so a trip to Barnes & Noble resulted in a new military novel for him.
Just so you know, all of these shops are within walking distance from the hotel, and I didn't miss a single session I was scheduled to attend. :)
Once I left Austin, I traveled straight (well, maybe there was a curve or two) to Bryan/College Station to meet up with Sarah and family to travel on to Baytown. That was Thursday evening. Early, early Friday morning, Sarah and Easy left with friends to head to Atlanta for a business conference. Fortunately for them they were ahead of Hurricane Arlene on their way there, and it looks like they will be missing most of the action on their way home tomorrow. Thank you, Lord.
Paris, Tripp, Dadoo and I (that's the Graggie part!) have had a great day together today. Slept late (as in 6:30 instead of 5:00) and then played all morning. Skip mowed and edged while I did laundry and cleaned up the kitchen. Can you believe I still know how to get things done with two children - one almost three and the other one almost 8 months?!! I really impressed myself. Maybe I need them around all of the time. I think I have accomplished more with them here than I do when I don't have them. Then again, maybe it's just my new focus. What do you think?
The kids are down for the night, I've had my shower and shampoo, so I'm going to get a cup of tea and sit back and read my latest.
I'll give you a review after I finish reading it! That's it for today's nugget.

Yep, I'm impressed that you still know how to carry on with the babies in the house. I've worried a bit about keeping my grands for that very reason. Maybe its like riding a bike?
