Lost At Lucky Charms

Those of you who have babies know that sleep is scarce. Of course it gets better over time and you end up going from an hour or two per night, to a full nights sleep. What people don’t understand is that most parents sleep with one eye open. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2am and I have been sleeping for 4 hours, if Lexi farts, I hear it. I hear it enough that I usually open my eyes and wait for another. So, even though Lexi technically sleeps thought the night, Shan and I haven’t had a restful sleep in over 14 months.

We decided that for Spring Break we would book a couple of nights at Country Charms Resort. So Wednesday afternoon we took Lexi to day care, got a couple of pedis over at Giselles, and rented the Complete First Season Of Lost to take with us. We picked up Lexi from daycare, gave her some kisses, and took off.

Country Charms is a couples only resort about a 10 minute drive from Steinbach so it took us no time at all to get there. It resembles a nice trailer park actually built along the shore of a man made lake. I am sure that in the nicer months the lake adds a lot of charm but in between seasons it isn’t much to write about, although you could see the potential.

There are some different themed cabins you can choose from. We chose the one with the theater room (#3) and although it was a little bit dated, it served our purpose just fine. We wanted to eat, sleep, and catch up on some TV. There was a TV in the bedroom above the fireplace as well as a large screen in the theater room. You could see the bedroom TV from the hot tub so we had all the angles covered.

We basically watched LOST and ate Lucky Charms in between naps for two days straight. It was awesome. Not sure what is up with that LOST but I like it. Can’t believe I have gone this long without seeing a single episode. Shan and I put in 16 hours so far and don’t have a clue what is going on.

I have to admit we fought the urge to call Lexi and say goodnight the first night and ended up calling her when we woke up the morning. Mind you it was almost 11am by that time.

It’s nice to be back home today with Lex. Big thanks to Grandma’s and Grandpa for watching her while we were away. Grandpa was here on his birthday and assured me that when he got his kiss goodnight it was all worth it.
