Busy Weekend
Mike went to a coaching clinic this weekend, and I decided that sticking in the house and making the kids fend for themselves was not a good approach.
First, on Friday, Mike and I went out to dinner and had a nice, quiet time. Once home, we played two games of Clue which I won. All those nerdy logic puzzle books pay off now and then.
On Saturday, my new iPod Touch (which I am obsessed with btw) wouldn't open any apps. No Facebook? No Whack'emAll? No reMovem? I wiped that sucker and started over. I only have 300 songs (it holds 3000) and about 10 photos. I downloaded the Kindle app for free and about 10 free books, including the Bible, from Amazon. Lots of room for more stuff. The car ride to Gatlinburg (only 18 more days!!!) will not be a problem for me.
Aly and I went to the Kanga Karnival at her school. I bid on some baskets (but they went for way more than I bid) and Aly won a ginormous chocolate cake on her first cake walk. I brought the cake home (seriously, this thing was so big I got a hand cramp carrying it back to the car) and Zak wanted to meet some guys at Subway for lunch. I dropped him a block from the restaurant-seriously- and had an hour to myself (and my iPod!) before I had to go pick up Aly. By the time we got back home, Zak was too, and on the phone with a friend who wanted him to come see a movie. Took Zak down the block and came home to collapse in a nap. Oh, and I broke my toe on a box in the hallway. No, I didn't go to the doctor, and yes, I do know it is broken. Aly and I scrapped, surfed the web and watched TV till past midnight. I'm loving listening to XM Radio online while I scrap, and the 2nd Birthday celebration at ScrapFreak inspired me to do some different things, like painting chipboard.
It would have been so easy to stay in bed all day Sunday, but instead (after I worked a couple of hours) we went to the mall. Aly and I got haircuts and shopped a bit. I picked up some things at Target (yes, really, I shopped for household goods!) and we had lunch at TGIFriday's. We all had the Sizzlin Chicken + Shrimp. MMMMM, good. Home again, we did some chores, laundry, shaved Graycie (poor thing can't keep up with her long hair) and scrapped some more. I'm slowly working my way through the childhood photos my mom gave me a while ago.
Plans tonight are to play Wii with Aly, catch up with Mike and hit the sack somewhat early. I have meetings downtown all week, but I get to see some ladies from out of town that I only get to see every three months or so. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had the chance to catch up with them in a while, so maybe we can at least grab lunch together. If I can walk.
All-in-all, my weekend was different than what I usually do, but it was pretty great, just being a mom.

Sounds like a great weekend - with one conspicous thing absent...but then I've already got onto you for that. This whole accountability thing can be tough :)
Sorry about your toe. I know that hurts like the dickens.
