Weekend Plans

[Ryrin]

I have the same problem. Both of my boys are tall and skinny. The temps have taken a big dive here in just two days. My youngest needed jeans, a jacket and shoes. He also outgrew his Fire Explorer uniform and that(including boots) was over $100. He needed new Boy Scout pants too. He's getting braces next week and we are paying $300 a month towards a spring break trip for high schoolers back east.

Kids are expensive little monsters, aren't they? I keep hoping it'll get cheaper, but it only gets more expensive. :)

Went walking in the park with a friend. Watching football at home and then baking chicken breasts and potatoes. Going to a local movie at a community center to commemorate Kristallnacht.

I took the girls to the Children's Book Festival yesterday and met the lady who wrote Pinkalicious! Peanut got her book signed and her first author photo (I'm starting her a famous people collection!), but the pair of them ran me ragged yesterday! I picked Tadpole up so much I think I messed my back up (yay).

 

Today, I spent time organizing my coupons, which I haven't done in weeks. Then we flew through grocery shopping and came back home. Pretty hum drum. However, I get to go play BUNCO on Tuesday night. Yay!

Bunco is fun! I think that is a great idea of starting her a collection with authors. Years ago i had a friend that did that, he would write famous authors, psychologists, physicians. They would either sign their books or send a letter back with a signature. He planned to auction them off for his son's college tuition. He even had BF Skinner's signature.

 

I slept in, had a nice homemade brunch and went walking at a new park with a friend. We did a little shopping. My son and I cleaned and organized the living room. Mostly, because of my back, he did and and I provided directions. I've been watching football too.

[U4ea]

That's really cool! Did his son enjoy it?

 

Being a teacher I can get a lot of folks to respond, but I don't go nuts with it. I prolly should spend my summer this year changing that... *ponders* Of course, I'm wondering if I can get someone's attention with a few of these units... *ponders more*

 

Sleeping in... I vaguely remember how to do that. I managed to make it to 8 last weekend in Atlanta the day after the conference...

[Ryrin]

I get to sleep in every day. It has been helping me heal. My neighbor drives my son to school every day.

[U4ea]

oooo, that's awesome! Sleeping in is one of those things that you don't realize how much your body needs until you go without it for a while.

[Ryrin]

I'm having a nice weekend. Lots of football and last night we went to a friends and had pizza, dessert and watched a movie. Today, hunkering down at home, tea or hot chocolate, more football and walking at the gym this evening along with sitting in the hot tub.

[U4ea]

I had a rough weekend, but that's over and I'm not focused on it, anymore.

 

This weekend, I'm heading out of town for the holiday, followed by my MiL having a stint put in her heart the Monday after Thanksgiving. *sighs* Then Dana's going out of town the weekend after. Yes, this is the beginning of a WACKO couple of weeks for me. NaNo is dead for me. *sighs*

[Ryrin]

I just wish you peace and rest. We can dream, can't we?

[U4ea]

Dreaming sounds wonderful! I'm nearly to D-ville, Kyn!

[Ryrin]

Had a great Thanksgiving!!! Hope all the Kinsters who celebrate had a wonderful time.

[Ryrin]

Cleaned house. Went out to breakfast. Having friends over for dinner and to watch the USC/Notre Dame game. Long live USC!

[U4ea]

My kids sleep later, here. They have both slept until nearly 8 am the last few days. At home, they're up as close to 6 as possible!

[Ryrin]

I hate getting up early and at least my kid at home can get ready himself.

Dreaming sounds wonderful! I'm nearly to D-ville, Kyn!

 

At about this time I was nearly to Birmingham...

[U4ea]

Always. lol, can't be on the same end of the state for very long without the apocalypse coming...

[_Kynwric_]

We were in town for a whole weekend at the same time when you were here for your conference...

[U4ea]

True, but Atlanta is almost another world...

[_Kynwric_]

Depending on which part, it is definitely a whole 'nother world.

[U4ea]

quite a few of them, even...

[_Kynwric_]

Very, very true... and some, perhaps most, are worlds you just don't want to visit.

[Ryrin]

Just got a hair cut. Off to the gym, then watch some football and a friend's holiday party tonight.

[Ryrin]

Slept in, cleaned the kitchen.  Going to a board meeting then the gym.  Come home and watch football!
