Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

This weekend was a busy one!

Family came to town...

There was swimming,

Barbecuing,

Socializing,

Soccer tournaments for my daughter,

Loud music,

Yard work,

And tons of playful laughter filling the air!

Only downside is......

I wasn't there to enjoy ANY of it!!

Yeah, that's right... I scheduled myself to work on a holiday weekend, UGH!!

It never fails! I need a phone that yells NO, STOP, YOU WILL REGRET THIS whenever I punch in my availability for my work schedule! 

A new app in the making I'm sure but until then I just keep missing out!

The plus side is...

When I return from my torturous work week it's a holiday in itself!

I am off work Monday and the kids are out of school so... come 7am it will be time to PAAAR-TYY!! (That's when I get off work blah!)

I'm sure the second I walk in the door three little smiling, energized faces will be greeting me, ready to "hang out."

It never fails, everyone wants mommy's attention the second I am home from work and off for a day! I feel like a celebrity every week ha ha. 

Mondays plans include... Barbecuing, swimming, FINISHING our kitchen chairs (fingers crossed), catching up on housework.... And most importantly....

Quality time with the fam! It should be a good day... overwhelming... Potentially stressful but GOOD! 

Now that I think about it... I didn't miss much :-).

Have a GREAT week!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was nothing exciting. No date night, no allergic reactions, the pool is back to sparkling and we are back to being lame.

The kids spent TWO days at school and came home with a bug. I swear some people's kids these days and hygiene UGH! ;-)

Poor Lexi doesn't have the slightest clue what being sick means. So when she has the sniffles and a scratch in her throat you'd think it was the end of the world!

I had to explain and re-explain exactly what was going on... I had to come up with creative ways to tell her "YOU HAVE A COLD!"

We are still dealing with the dang germ bug and it has trickled down thru all three kids now...This is tolerable until it gets to my husband ;-)

I don't know what it is about men and sickness but if they have the slightest cold it appears to others (especially their wives) that they just had an extremity amputated with no lidocaine or sedation.

They roll about moaning and groaning, crying out, whimpering like a puppy and complain til YOU'RE blue in the face. So... Fingers crossed he stays well :-)

Aside from the bug, my husband and I spent some quality time together building furniture.... What kind of furniture you ask?!

Well the same kitchen chairs we began working on four months ago....

We differ greatly when it comes to wood work so I have been kicked off the "chair committee" a few times and have been recently reinstated so we shall see how this goes....

Obviously not THAT well considering our chairs are still sitting in the garage, unfinished, not next to my kitchen table.

We survived building a table together so the chairs should be a cake walk, right?!

Have a great week!
