1st camping trip .... kinda

Well since hubby was at the track all weekend I thought it might be a good idea to ask the in laws to borrow their fifth wheel and Jacob and I could go and camp out at the track, this way we might actually be able to see Dad and maybe watch a little bit of the races!? Boy was I wrong!! I don't think it was a good idea, it would have been better if I had someone to hang around with or take turns watching Jacob. My in laws were nice enough to keep Jacob Friday for a couple extra hours AND gave him a bath just so I could pack everything I needed and not be tripping over a one year old! I ended up finishing packing early and had enough time to head out to the track, unpack, set up the playpen and then head back to get the dog and Jacob. Jacob passed out on the way to the track so he didn't end up going to bed till 10:30pm (2 hours later then normal) which I didn't really mind cause we were camping! But then hubby got in late and Jacob woke at 4am then again at 6am and I had a hard time falling asleep and if anyone knows me they know that lack of sleep does not agree with me! So needless to say I was cranky Sat but thought I would make the best of it. Jacob wouldn't nap in the trailer so we went for a drive which was OK cause then I got to stop for a coffee, which I really needed!! :) But as the day progressed the more grumpy I got and the more cranky Jacob got, I was frustrated cause I couldn't go watch the races (Jacob didn't want to sit for that long) so all I could do was walk the pits and look at cars. Then it rained and Jacob didn't want to hang out in the trailer and although the trailer is about 24 feet, after you get a playpen, a rottweiler and a one year old in there it becomes quite small fast! Thankfully it didn't rain long but it was very muddy out so Jacob couldn't walk by himself (not that he wanted to cause he was very clingy so I had to carry him a lot). I really wanted to give him a bath but hubby hadn't turned the propane on for hot water and I asked three people to give him a message but apparently no one did!? So I left .... we went home around 8pm, I gave Jacob a bath at home, I had a nice long shower after he went to bed and I crashed. I took all my frustration out on hubby, blaming him for my crummy time but now I'm thinking that I might have over reacted!? If no one gave him the message then it's not really his fault!? Anyway, I had a great sleep at home and then Sunday we went visiting and headed back to the track to finish packing everything up. I think I would have had a better time if I had someone to hang out with, walk with and trade off looking after Jacob!? I didn't even know until today that one of the guys I work with made it to the final round, wish I would have seen it?

So, then after I finished packing up the trailer and walking the pits, Jacob and I had lunch out at the track and we headed home. When I got home I noticed the dog was downstairs and thought it was odd of her to be downstairs, since she is getting older now and has a hard time going up or down stairs. I figured she must have went downstairs to cool off cause it was warm out, so I took three steps downstairs and realized why she was down there! It stunk ..... bad! She made a BIG mess, it took two rolls of paper towel, two plastic bags and two swiffers to clean up the mess!! It was disgusting and not really what I had hoped to do when I got home! She has been getting sick lots lately and I'm not too sure why!?

Needless to say, I was kinda excited to get back to work, so I could have a break! The weekend was a lot of work, you would think I should be skinny by now! ? Speaking of skinny .... I'm determined, I WILL go for a walk tonight and every night this week or at least get on the Wii for 30min every night!! I am also hoping that hubby will get my photos off the "sick" computer soon so I have more pics to post! But that's another story.....
