Ok... Here it goes... The Day Before Vegas!

So the long awaited Vegas trip BLOG!

Ok the day before our trip I was a nervous WREAK. I was this way b/c it was the first trip that I was sort of 'in charge' of. I was going to a strange place that myself or any of the other girls had never been. (Leslie & Megan- she's a friend of Leslie's and I'm so glad to now call her my friend) So I was just this sweaty ball of nerves... not JOKING I was sweating ALL DAY LONG!!! I am the only one that has a kid so I was the 'mama' of the group. Leslie kept saying "I'm so glad you are the Mama of the group you are doing great!" LOL I left work early b/c I had to go get cash and make sure all my bills were in order. Good thing I already had my bag packed... yes me the procrastinator had it packed for almost a week! I was freaking out about the dang liquid stuff... Let me tell you that is not an easy task for a girl! I have TOO much facial and hair product and me and my mom spent about 2 hours figuring out how to fit all my stuff in a 1 quart baggy. BUT I MADE IT FIT!!! And then I was also sad about leaving Atlee. It's just hard for me to leave her or not have her with me b/c I'm the only one she has... if that makes since. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have her every other weekend like most people that are divorced have. I think I would be lost. I would like to have the break every once in a while b/c it's hard, but I feel guilty leaving her. I know she was staying at my mom's and would be just fine but it's still a hard thing for me to do. So I hung out with Atlee, ate dinner and played as much as I could before she fell asleep. Leslie and Megan were coming over to stay the night b/c we were leaving at 5 in the morning and yeah I needed them to be on time :) So they got to my apartment about 11 and I made sure their bags were packed right and we popped in Ocean's 11 to get us pumped up! Leslie was hungry so we scrummaged through and found sand which stuff to make her. She had this "BRILLIANT" plan to make it a grilled cheese sandwich on my stove... ok this is what she did... turn on the burner until the coil got red and laid her sandwich on it... I asked "Have you done this before?" I thought she said yes but let me tell you... THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! Leslie's like "Oh hell... LAAAACCCCCIIIIIII!!!!!" I turn around to smoke and just start cracking UP! I find a spatula and scrap it off and tell her to open up the doors b/c my fire alarm is going to go off.... that didn't help it still went off and yes Atlee slept through this all! I told them to fan it and they pulled the smoke alarm off the wall and it stopped. So if you come to my house and know how to reattach the dang thing please let me know b/c it's still hanging off my wall! So after all that the bread actually caught on fire and I was just hysterical b/c I couldn't believe she had done it and it was hilarious the way she reacted b/c she thought it was such a brilliant idea. I knew this trip was going to filled with tons of laughing after that. So we layed around and talked till about 2. I was to be waking up by 4 to be ready on time.... to be continued
