Friday evening we relaxed and enjoyed a bit of wine and I started laundry. Dinner was late but we had a yummy beef lo mein homemade. It was a hit with 75% of the people in the house.
Saturday morning Nick woke up with a head cold. Bruiser kindly shared what he had last week. I still got to go shopping and a friend came over and helped Nick ride herd on the kids. We did get an extra kid because our cousin's daughter had a sleepover with five little girls and T had a better time sleeping over here.
Shopping was fun--exhausting, but fun. I hadn't been shopping with this friend before and I had not realized that shopping was such an event. She takes her shopping seriously. It was fun because there were lots of clearance sales, really good sales. I like getting stuff for way less than the original price.
Sunday dawned rather earlier than I wanted it to. Bruiser was up at 6:30am. Insomnia had come to visit in the middle of the night, so I was really not ready to get up, but up I was. I fed the boys breakfast, and then went and got Nick McDs sausage muffins. He spent most of the day on the couch resting and trying to get better.
I spent the day finishing laundry and trying to keep up with the dishes. I am amazed at how the dishes multiply. I swear that I get them all done only to turn around and find half a sink full again. It's like some kind of irksome magic. I did get a nice nap though.
This morning came all too early. Nick is still sick and Bruiser was a crying mess at daycare drop off. Get that kid off schedule and it all goes to pot. He'll be better tomorrow.
ANd as for the weather, well we have a 70% chance of snow/rain today, 100% chance of snow tonight, and 90% tomorrow. From 9 to 14 inches in town. This could be interesting, if it does what the weathermen say it will. I must admit, I have my doubts. Who knows, tomorrow I might have snow pictures to share. These poor flowers dont stand a chance.
Ours was good. Didn't really do much; grocery shopped, cooked, cleaned, read a book. Actually, it was pleasant. I'd love to have more like it.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to go out and take a picture of those flowers in the snow!
ReplyDeleteI had a mostly low-key weekend, but I'd also call it lovely! I watched hockey with my ma on Friday night, got my tires changed on Saturday and did a few groceries, hung out with the fam and had a spaghetti dinner before heading out with my brother and his wife to a Mixed Party for friends of ours. Sunday was church and more family time! All in all - a perfect weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat weekend? Did I miss it? LOL
