My mood while writing this blog: Not feeling too good

Well my hubby Keith and I are over the marriage and family ministry at our church and this weekend we had a married couples overnight stay and this really cute bed and breakfast. Everything was set up perfectly. We scheduled to have a dinner banquet and program on Friday night and then afterwards the couples could go and enjoy quality time w/one another in their rooms. Well my prayer is that all that attended got the oppurtunity to have a great time b/c for me, the whole thing was EXHAUSTING!!!!! I was the mistress of ceremony and I have been feeling horrible for the last 3-4 days. So here I was forced to but on this big smile in front of my pastor and all of the couples that attended this retreat. When all I wanted to do was go back to my room and cuddle up with my sweatheart. So after the banquet I was so tired from all of the preparations and festivities that I needed to rest but then our room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. So the receptionist tried giving us this air filter thingy but that thing made the smell worst. So I'm like, ok forget it. So I tried to light candles and set the mood for me and Keith but then neither one of us could get in the mood b/c the atmosphere was just awkward. It's not like we have never been intimate at a hotel before but the bed was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO uncomfortable and it was small. I think it was a full size bed and we have a huge king sized bed at home and that bed felt like a toddler bed to us. Then once you add on the fact that I felt miserable it was just not a good thing. I did not fall completely asleep until 430am and the clock was set to go off at 730am. I kept my poor, sweet, hubby up all night cause I could not get comfortable. Then I had the fan on, freezing him to death. But I did not know I was freezing him until he said something this morning. I felt so bad. But I thought that it was sweet that he told me all he wanted was for me to get comfy. I am used to sleeping with tons of pillows, and guess how many pillows we had....... 2, so I took the quilt and folded it under my back and tried to use it as a pillow. I realize that I am probably rambling now but this was my night. I am so thankful that Keith and I have a very romantic, and solid marriage that we do not have to just depend on nights like that to be romantic and into one another. That is the way we live our lives already so I am grateful. I just hope that the couples that were there had a chance to really have a good time.
