I get that my dogs are pretty much my babies, but I mean do your kids take over everything? ( I ask this knowing they do from my mommy friends). But seriously, they do! They hogs the couch, take my pillows and entire side of the bed! Its like I bought a house for them! They look at me like, hey mom, so nice of you to buys us a yard we can run around in, sticks to bring inside to play with, and neighbor dogs to bark at all day long. Oh, and mom thank you for continuing to only use 1/16th of your queen bed so we can sleep on the other parts (sorry for any guy who would like to partake in my bed, you get about 1/82nd of space).

But, I digress from my weekend wrap up! It went a little like this....
Friday - 4:30pm - nap, nap, nap, snuggle, nap; umm do we want to go out? well what should we do? well, its getting late now and I'm not sure I want to drive anywhere, ok well I'm still on my couch so night! Yeah, the amazing life of the 30 year old....
Saturday - 6am - Mom!!!! Get up we have to pee!!! Seriously? So, it went a little like this: dogs out, oh its Saturday my day to water.... set up sprinklers, turn them on, see they are pretty much watering everything but the yard, move to sprinklers, get soaked; chase dogs back into the yard; watch sprinklers, decide eh the grass will get some water. What I learned? Your neighbors will stare at you at 7am while in your pj's watering your yard and by yard I mean, my car, neighbor's car, front porch and some patch of grass in the yard... 8am - workout and mile run. noon - Nails! They were bad people, bad... Even the lady looked my hands and asked if I had changed jobs to a landscaper (slightly true). 2:30 - much needed pool time. Friends, Gentleman Jack, beer pong (spectator sport for me) and some fun in the sun. 8pm - Dinner at one of my fav Fort Worth finds, Grace. Nothing like apps at the bar, wine and some espresso martinis!
And then what? oh yeah I was home about to zonk out at about 10pm when some sh*t hit the fan... Need not be discussed, but my early bed time turned into a 2am bed time and I was tired.
Sunday - Church! And it was epic. I am not sure I have been as moved as I was Sunday. We have been doing a mini series on Saved following Romans 8. This week, glorification and wow, it hit home. I am constantly amazed at how my pastor's sermons tend to hit home, but this was pretty life-changing for me (and Ive got more on this later this week, promise). So, after a good start I had a nice coffee date followed by some more... napping! Then the productivity happened. Dishes, laundry, workout... Yup, done and done. Oh did I also mention the visit from my ex-hubs? Oh I didn't? Yeah, so M showed up to visit Chloe/see the house. Amazing how that person knows how to push your buttons and take emotion to another level. The best part though? Chloe! She was in heaven. I didn't realize how much she missed him. She wagged, kissed, loved and was just on doggie cloud 9 to see her daddy. For that, the visit was worth it. But it left my poor baby girl, depressed.

But, ya know what? When you're tired, pooped and have settled in for an evening for Devious Maids and Drop Dead Diva? You should eat pizza and ice cream and that I did. Nothing like ending the weekend with a little splurge and great company.
Next weekend? Momma Rose turns 65! I do believe there will be cake! Happy Monday y'all.
Your kids are so cute :)!
ReplyDeleteDogs just have a way of making everything about them - but in the sweetest way possible, of course! My Ellie Belle will just sit and stare at you if you're sitting on 'her' end of the couch. She'll stay that way until you move, at which point, she'll immediately jump up and claim her spot. So funny. That picture of little Chloe after Daddy's visit makes me sad:( But I know that she is doing just fine with Mommy and her new house! And sissy Sophie:)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I hear you about the nails situation. Sometimes I let mine go too bad too and they look at me funny and ask why they look so bad! Oops!
ReplyDeleteThey look so comfy in the bed!
