Great Weekend!!

We have had the best weekend! I can't remember when we have had this much fun, and have gotten to be stress free. It's been great! We didn't do anything except shuffle kids to and from other's houses on Saturday, and that was Larry, I just had to tell him where to go (careful!). I got to clean the bathrooms and do laundry (don't be too jealous). I can't believe I enjoyed it so much. I guess it just feels good to be home.

Larry and I had plans to go out on a date Saturday night, but Brody had a meltdown, so we had to stay home. Larry fixed him a peanut butter and jelly on an english muffin and you would have thought that we had asked him to down arsenic! He sat on his bed forever, and we were all worn out by the time it was over. Neither of us felt like going out. We ended up staying home, on our couch in the bedroom watching Alabama beat LSU. I think he enjoyed me watching football with him without doing anything else. I remember when we first starting dating 20 yrs ago, I would sit and watch football with him for hours, and love it. Now, he is in the basement, and I'm doing something else somewhere else. I think it really meant a lot to him that I spent time with him watching the football game, and not doing anything else. It's hard to remember who needs to come first sometimes.

Today, we went to church, then came home and Larry grilled chicken. We went downtown and watched Madigascar 2, which was precious. I so enjoy a kids movie that makes it fun for adults. Thanks Disney, or Pixar or whomever made the movie.

We ate at Piza Pizza and I blew Weight Watchers. Two glasses of wine and chicken ziti. I did eat the child's portion and only had one piece of cheese toast, and then there was the popcorn in the movie. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

I'm all settled in to my new technological mystery, Facebook. Lucas has been wanting a Facebook account, so I decided to check it out, and I had to make myself an account to see what it was all about. Now, 80 "friends" later, I'm amazed that people have time for this sort of thing. I think it's really great that you get to find out what is going on in the lives of your 80 friends, but who has time? I just logged on and started down the list, and was exhausted after 3 friends. I feel compelled to respond about a cute pic of their kids or some tragedy that has happened. I almost felt rude for not commenting on some, and completely ignoring the rest. My momma raised me to be respectful, but I think in cyberspace, you have to have limits to the amount of info you can consume.

The week ahead looks jammed packed. Lucas has basketball on Mon, Wed and Thur. and I have a big reveal of the precious baby pics that are going to grace the maternity waiting area and Mother/Baby hallway. I'm going to have to miss Lucas' game, but he says he understands. Larry is going out of town with his dad this next weekend and Lucas is going on a middle school retreat overnight on Friday. It's just me and the Bro, and I'm trying to find something to do with him Friday night so I can go to the ladies meeting at Dallas Bay. I tried to get him to go to Larry's mother's since my FIL is going to out of town, but he won't go. He says he doesn't like to stay up there by himself. I should have made him, but I don't want to stay home alone, so I wonder where he gets it???

I hope everyone has a good week!

  1. Angela have decided to call facebook "crackbook" you become totally addicted and feel a need to respond. Your problem is you are loved and adored by too many people, especially those of us whose children would have starved without your TOUGH LOVE! Don't feel like you have to respond to me. If my tragedies are in need of immediate attention I will result to the prehistoric non-cyber communication. Best luck with Brody he reminds me of Emma... or how she may grow up to be.
