Weekend update

It has been awhile since I’ve posted anything, so I just thought I’d give a little update even though not much is going on.

Last weekend was nice. Joe and I were able to have a date night, something we haven’t done in a VERY long time. We did dinner and a movie, which was very nice. I had forgotten what it was like to go out to eat w/o children…it’s almost boring. I found myself watching other tables that had their children with them as they were up and down and around the table. Then to a movie, where again, I found it hard to sit still in the theater. We subscribe to Blockbuster.com so I am used to watching movies now while folding clothes or doing the dishes or something along those lines. My how two children and a few years can change you…

Saturday was spent running errands since it was the first Saturday in a while that it wasn’t freezing or raining or both….to the vet, to a friend’s house, drop off some Mary Kay, lunch with Gramma and her lunch bunch, to Gramma’s pick up some goodies, etc. The kids were good and tired and refusing to take a nap by the time we got home.

Sunday we went to Gramma’s and had her famous spaghetti for lunch to celebrate January birthdays. Lots of fun.

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

Yuck, yuck, yuck...

This weather is driving me crazy. Someone forgot to tell the weather this is TEXAS, we can only handle a couple of these freezing days. I am ready for some warmer weather...even mid-40's would be nice.

Friday when they predicted bad weather I made a run to the grocery store and Blockbuster on my way home, ready to hibernate for the weekend. Then came Monday and it was still yucky, which is not that big a deal since it's a holiday and school was out anyways. Tuesday I cautiously drive into work and home-no problem! At this point I think the worst is done.....this morning I get up and am getting ready for a normal day and I keep hearing a crackling noise. What in the world is that, so I walk to the other side of the bathroom looking for the root of the noise...it's coming from the small port window above the tub. Oh my gosh, is it raining. So I go open the front door and it is not raining, it is SLEETING!!! ARGH!! So I hurry and get ready and drive 10mph to the sitter's on the wonderful country roads with Joe following me. Then head downtown. THREE HOURS LATER, I am finally at work ( and plan to leave as early as possible )!

Mr. Sunshine, won't you PLEASE come out to play soon!!
