Gleanings of Wheat

So, my trip got extended a bit when I decided to swing by Nashville on the way home from Texas and further decided to stay on until Tuesday morning. I freelance so it isn't like I have an office I need to be at. Yesterday my friend and I went out for breakfast (at 2pm) to a place called The Pancake Pantry . Guys, seriously, if you go to Nashville you have to try this place out. The selection of pancakes is insane, and you can mix and match different ones. I got the Georgia Peach Pancakes.

Ok, not quite yet but soon - this weekend in fact! I'm going to be driving the kids down to Texas so they can visit their dad & step-mom and then driving home. On the way down we're going to stay in OK for the night and do some free touristy things. Once I'm down there I'm going to get to see my Gpa for a couple days, meet up with some internet friends, and then maybe hit Nashville on the way home. Pictures and maybe some recipes when I get back.

The blog has been largely silent lately. I've had a lot going on this month. The kids kept getting sick, I still have school, I'm freelancing, and the kitchen is being remodeled. On top of all that the kids went to Texas for two weeks. It has been a roller coaster around here. Instead of staying home and missing the kids I decided to pack up my office (read laptop and day planner) and take a working vacation to NYC and Nashville. Over all I had a lot of fun and got more work done than I probably would have if I were surrounded by the kids' stuff while they were visiting their dad. Now I'm at home, the kitchen still isn't done, and the kids come home tonight. I'm really excited. I talked to them nearly every day, but I missed them like crazy and can't wait to settle back into normal life. Now for some photos from the day I spent at Jersey Shore!
