Becauase rest assuredly, if your family is anything like mine, you’ll rarely get any alone time, or a chance to sneak away to your computer to post like you’re supposed to. So, I’ll blame them (*smile*) for my total slackiness in not posting yesterday. So, let’s just run down my day.

Every Memorial Day weekend my city has Riverfest and because my hubby is in law enforcement, he always gets free passes, so of course we have to go. Riverfest is this big event that stretches about a 2-3 mile long trek along the river (hence the name Riverfest) that has food, games, kids activities, stages for concerts, tumbling, acting, singing - you name it, you can just about see it at RF. Saturday morning we get up, dressed and rush downtown to horrible parking, truck out the car seat, round up the kids and walk and walk and walk. The kids get their faces painted, do tons of arts and crafts, rock climb, bungy swing, watch some singing, and some amazing tumblers, and of course eat. After about three hours, we leave there and go to my husband’s families picnic at the park. Here, there is more playing and eating and meeting family neither he nor I have ever seen before. After that, we leave and go to yet another picnic that my family has every year for more kids playing and eating and catching up with family members I haven’t seen in a few months or so.

Are you tired yet? Because I am. By now, it’s *HOT*, I want nothing more than a bath and a nap. Ha! My day is not even close to being over.

But I do have something to look forward to now - this is the highlight of my day. It’s concert time. Each year at the Riverfest they have concert from national talent. And they really do a good job of brining in something for everybody: country, folk music, gospel, rhythm and blues, funk - a little of everything. Did I mention this was the highlight of my day? L L Cool J. I just melt thinking about him. And no, the husband is NOT going with me. I’m going with my girlfriends. And if, IF you don’t know who L L Cool J is, I have a picture posted on my blog. He’s a rapper, but not one of those you have to listen to scream and yell and not understand one single word he’s saying and there’s no mantra of bitches and hoes throughout his lyrics. He is old school rap with some new flavor. Just awesome!!! And so much male inspiration that I just might have to model one of my hero’s after him.

Well, that was my day. I didn’t get home until after eleven, where the only thing I did was take yet another bath and crash into my wonderful bed. The sweet little one must have realized how tired his mommie was because he didn’t wake up until around 10.

Don’t you just love holiday weekends?
