  ahhhh...what weekends...I love them...but it makes Monday mornings especially brutal... Friday...B was at VBS all week and Friday night was parents night. Both hubby and I went. First a bbq and then watching them. They sang and then there were "Olympic" games...what a cluster! The leaders didn't know what they were doing and the games were not entertaining even the youngest of kids! It was an hour and a half of torture...we were SO glad when the games were over...but it was fun to see B so excited...he was so happy we were there and got to "see" him do his VBS thing.
After that, we ran to Sears to do some shopping. Got B some clothes for soccer, hubby a swimsuit and some sandals. Saturday morning we got up and went to Bob Evans for breakfast...yummy! Then we continued shopping...yuck! We went BACK to Sears...hubby didn't like his swimsuit and I exchanged some flip-flops at Ann Taylor. Then we went on to Dunham's to buy B some cleats, shin guards, and socks for soccer camp.
Hubby got a swimsuit there...then on to Old Navy. Hubby got another swimsuit and a sleeveless shirt...I found a tshirt. Finally, we went home. I told hubby, shopping with he and B is like shopping with two ADHD kids...they were constantly, "Sar look over here, mommy look what I found, mommy/Sar, mommy/Sar" It was driving me mad!!! I basically crashed when we got home...seriously...I was exhausted...got up, went tanning. Why aren't I getting tanner than I am?
Do you stop having the ability to get tan the older you get? It is very strange...after that, we got ready and went to M & J's housewarming/annual bbq party. Their new house is beautiful...and a beautiful backyard and gardens as well. M hired a woman to do facepainting and balloons for the kids...B had his face painted like a rainbow tiger, it was beautiful! He looked like he was performing in CATS...seriously, it was awesome! One of my friends, JL, was there...I haven't seen her since they moved to Ann Arbor.
She and M kept going on and on about how beautiful I looked...it was so nice to hear the first time but then I was just embarassed. M says, you look like a movie star! You look so awesome! Then she would say to whoever was around her, isn't she just beautiful? Her hair? Her face?
Her whole package? Just beautiful! Seriously...I was mortified... C was TERRIBLE! He kept screaming because the kids were playing with his toys...duh...and, of course, M did nothing...J did nothing. It was embarassing for them...and maddening for every other parent. Hubby was so pissed by the time we left...I guess C had hit and pushed B a couple times...I only saw one push and I was all over him.
Hubby just could not believe M&J let him behave like that...it changed his opinion of them...I had told him this is how it was but he had never seen it before. I doubt he will want to do things with them anymore... Sunday...more sleeping. I got up around 6:30am to make a list of what we need to do to sell the house...holy crap! Not a bunch of "big" stuff but a full page, nonetheless! We talked it over and decided to wait at least another year, probably two. We have been looking at houses on a lake or have deeded lake access.
Hubby has always told me there was no way we could afford it...well, we can. Not that it will be big and immaculate but the ones I found are a little larger than we have right now. Definitely a realistic dream...I mean, if we don't have anymore children, we don't really need a larger house. I would like a little bigger and would like a different floor plan but I am sure we will sacrifice some of our "wants" to be on a lake...both of us have ALWAYS wanted to be on a lake. Man! I can't wait.
But this will give me something to strive for...and hopefully help get my spending under wraps again...lol! Made a big breakfast for all of us...I don't know what my deal is...I just want to eat pancakes...lol! After that, I went to take a nap...then we did some quick grocery shopping and I bbq'd, or tried to. Something is up with our grill because it was NOT cooking the meat. I ended up having to use the George Foreman and hubby left late for work...ugh. B and I watched "Brother Bear", I rearranged the kitchen counters, and that was the extent of my fun for the day...
