The Weekend

The weekend I was dreading, actually the day, the Birthday........actually turned out pretty well!! Saturday morning Mom Jr. and I headed out to find some software for me to use to make my own website so that I can expand my blog with other items. We stopped at Costco for some snacks to have during this weekend. The kids love to have snack trays out when ever there's something to celebrate and **bonus** I don't have to make lunch, in fact I don't have to be anywhere near the kitchen all day!! We got a veggie tray, a package of veggie sticks and hummus (which Mom Jr. and I have been enjoying a lot lately), oh, and a strawberry cheesecake. Do I need it? no, but it is my Birthday so I got it!! We stopped at the video store and got some movies and then made our way home. Daddy was out working on the pool filters trying to be in the little bit of shade left from the house on the driveway. The boys were playing around on the driveway. Mom Jr. and I came in the house, closed windows and doors and turned the air on. It was getting way too hot!


Soon the boys came in for the same reason, this heat just zaps out all your energy. We all hung out inside for the rest of the day until the evening when at least the sun was down then we all went swimming.


Sunday morning came around, I sat up trying to wake up. J was asleep on the bed, I made my way quietly over to the bathroom to pee (I know, too much information but there was no way for me tell you what happened next without mentioning that). I heard J by the door, I opened it just a little and there he was with his pull it (as he calls his pull up that he only wears at night) off doing the pee pee dance. As he's squirming around he says "Happy Birdday Mama". He remembered all on his own! Well, if that just didn't start my day off with a smile!! I wanted to hug him but I knew he only had one thing on his mind right then, he ran in and made it!! Yahoo!! We came downstairs, opened some windows and the back door to let in any cool air -NOT but it was worth a try. Daddy went out and got us some frappucino's, we sat out in the back under a shade listening to mellow music. It was nice, we drew with chalk, I drew Handy Manny for J, the boys drew tanks, and army guys coming down on a rope from a helicopter, you know just a bunch of boys stuff. We all came in and for the most part the day was just relaxing. I worked and did some research on the computer, watched a movie, my Mom and Sister came over just for a minute. We all ate some cheesecake and as I was noticing the kids trying to throw out their garbage which they really couldn't because it was full. I said out loud "the garbage is full it needs to be thrown out". Nothing, I guess maybe Hubby didn't hear me even though he was right there sitting on the couch watching T.V. which wasn't loud. I told the kids "don't try to put your paper plates in the garbage because it's too full and it won't close if you do". Along comes J with a napkin and proceeds to try and throw it away. I say "Hone, the garbage needs to be thrown out". Hmmm, now both my Mom and Sister just look at me. I say "never mind I'll do it". I throw it out, come back and he still is just staring straight at the T.V. My Mom said "you need to speak up". I said " what do you mean I said it once, then I mentioned how it was too full for the kids not to throw their garbage in it, then I specifically said the garbage needs to be thrown out". Whatever, so we start talking about something else and my Mom is talking very low (I think it was about the kids or something) all of a sudden Hubby comments on what she was talking about!!! I looked up at her and my Sister with a shocked look on my face, I said "see, I need to talk up? You were talking low and he heard that!". "I know what it's called, it's called Husbands selective hearing!!!". Again hubby doesn't know what we're talking about as my Mom tells him "Oh, I think there's going to be an entry about you in the blog". He just said, "yeah, I'll just read about it". I'm thinking 0n my website (soon as I can get it together) I am going to have a link specifically for the ladies.... just for us to vent a little, it'll make us feel better as we give each other cyber high fives on some of our comments!!! Yup, that's it, that's what I'm going to do!!
Our day went on, we ended it with playing Rock Band and then going swimming until it was dark enough for us to turn on the floating pool lights which we made a light show of colors against the wall.
All in all it was a good day, the beginning to my barely over the mid 30 mark. Time to make a list of things I want to accomplish before I mark another year, um, wait I think with my new age along came some wisdom that's telling me "first things first- to he-- with the list!!!" Yeah, baby I think I'm going to just go with it..........

Just a Mom who's a little bit wiser with her new age.............
