This was the weekend of the retreat. Beth took off with the church ladies on Friday afternoon and I took care of the kids until Saturday afternoon. It amazes me that so many other ladies think this is amazing that I will do this. Yes, I am perfectly capable of minding my own kids for 36 hours, and if your husbands can't or won't, it's partly your fault too. Anyway, they went to Middlebury for a retreat that Beth liked but thought the conference part was lame. Like everything the speaker said was grade school level Sunday school stuff. She was home in time to go bowling, which went really well for Beth...highest series of the season for her yet and a 141 game. I was ok.
