Logger's Conference

So I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off today....we are heading out tomorrow after Cameron finishes preschool and heading towards Eugene. We will probably only make it to Bend and stay there for the evening. This helps break the trip up for the kiddos and for me too. Then, Wednesday it will be on to Eugene for Logger's Conference.

This is pretty exciting for a few reasons. 1) Matt is a logger. Therefore, he and every other logger get together to "educate" themselves through classes and workshops. 2) I am a shopper. While Matt is "educating" himself all day long, I get to shop. Because really, there's nothing else to do in Eugene...unless you are a hippie. 3) We don't go on any other family vacations, so I try to make this one into the most exciting thing to resemble a family vacation. This means we, stay in Bend, shop in Eugene, and then go on over to the Oregon Coast. I know, it's February. It's freezing outside. But, you take what you can get. And I love the coast, even in February. The kids love the Newport Aquarium. I love real fish and real clam chowder. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outlet malls in Lincoln City, which is where we stay for the night before heading up to Portland and back home on Sunday.

I will be missing in action for the rest of the week...unless the motel has internet and a computer. Even then, I doubt I'll blog. I'm exhausted from this pregnancy. Like, if I didn't know I was pregnant, I'd have gone to the doctor because I would be convinced I'd be dying. I have never known tired like this tired. I was close to this tired with Cameron, so I'm gonna say another girl, but this is sheer exhaustion. I slept from 9:00 pm until 8:00 this morning and I felt like I hadn't slept a wink. I sit on the couch and try to figure out how to get enough energy to get something accomplished. The kids are climbing the walls because we go a lot, and I just can't do it. It sucks. Sorry to whine. I know nobody reads this to listen to me whine, but sometimes it helps. I. Hate. being. pregnant. This is so it, never again. I can't believe how old and tired I feel!

So have a lovely week and I will return next week with lots of good logging stories and photos of the kiddos at the coast.
