Fun at the Motel

While Steve is off doing stuff to make sure our government can get on the internet in times of war or power outages (at least I think that's what he does, I'm not really sure), Victoria, Sophia, Josiah and I are hanging out in the hotel rooms. We have internet access, so that's good. Naps are fun too. We took a walk yesterday, but came back after finding a makeshift memorial in a ditch near a little shopping center. I can only assume someone died there.

After Steve got home, we picked a restaurant with ease. (Ok, not really it was a debacle that took over 2 hours, but all was forgotten once we had warm bread and olive oil to dip it in.) We ended up in Fayetteville at Carrabbas. I had this ridiculously good chicken, one stuffed with proscuitto and fontana cheese topped with mushrooms and a lemon butter sauce, the other piece grilled and stuffed with fennel sausage and ricotta cheese with a wine sauce. We decided to work off the calories by perusing the local SuperWalmart. Boy do we know how to live it up when we are out of town! Not that there is much to do in Fayetteville, well, unless you like girly bars. There are TONS of girly bars. I suppose that has something to do with being near a military base.

So today, we have games we picked up at Wal-Mart to keep us busy. We'll just chill here until Steve gets done. I'm thinking a nap and some fatback sounds just about right.

It all caught up to me

Over a week of not getting more than 7 hours sleep has finally caught up to me. I was just plain exhausted today, I just had to do it. I hate it, but I had to. My limbs felt like they weighed a ton, and I could barely keep my eyes open. I kept drinking tea and nibbling, hoping something anything besides sleep would give me my energy back. Finally, I gave up. I grabbed my favorite red quilt and laid down on the couch. I woke up almost 2 hours later feeling so much better. As much as I hate to nap during the day, sometimes you just have to. And today was one of those days.
