Weekend Recap Oct 9-11, 2009

The Weekend Recap for October 9, 10 and 11, 2009

Friday Oct 9, 2009
It was a cold and rainy day and night. Started my day by taking the kids to school minus Mr Man who was home still trying to get over a stomach virus which had him missing school and spending alot of time in the restroom for 3 days. Mr Man's 4th grade class was singing at the high school football game Friday night but Mr Man did not make that either. My Friday was spent at home staying warm, doing laundry, and getting ready for a weekend softball tournament. We got a call to let us know that due to the rain the softball tournament was cancelled for Saturday and just going to be a one day tournament on Sunday, this freed up our Saturday.

Saturday Oct 10, 2009
Woke up bright and early and got Mr Man who was doing much better, dressed and out the door and into my dad's truck which was pulling the boat. That was about the last I saw of Mr Man this weekend.. He was off with the guys fishing.
Princess had made plans for herself for the day, lunch at McDonald's with some friends, then later meeting another group of friends for pizza and a homecoming parade(not our school the friends school) then that group of friends football game. That is how she spent her Saturday. So the two older kids had plans for the day. The rest of us picked up some of the clutter called my house in the morning and then after lunch, we loaded up the van and headed to the lake for the Lighthouse fall festival. The kids had a great time at the lighthouse. Here is a slide show of the time spent there.

After we left the lighthouse we stopped by a pumpkin patch where they were letting you pick a pumpkin for a dollar. We had already bought pumpkins off a back of a tractor in our town for each of the kids for $2 but this looked like fun so we let Little Man and Sweet Pea pick some pumpkins, I now have 9 pumpkins in my yard decorating it for fall. Here are a few pictures from the pumpkin patch.

When we got back home. I had just enough time to pack up the 3 younger kids cloths and have them ready for when my dad and Mr Man got back from the lake. The kids went and spent the night with grandma and went to church with them on Sunday morning.
While I was getting Mr Man, Sweet Pea and Little Man off with my dad, DH had dropped off Princess at the pizza place to meet her friends and start her evening. When he was back and I was ready the two of us went and got groceries(this was pushing 8pm) After groceries shopping, and getting the food put away, I got dinner into the oven and it was time to go pick Princess up from the football game.. When I got home from that we pulled dinner out of the oven and sat down to eat at 10 O'clock at night. :-)
Then it was off to bed.


Sunday October 11, 2009
DH tossed and turned and coughed all night.. I guess I asked him if he was ok one to many times though the night.. I didn't know i was doing it that often because I would be sleeping then wake up hearing him coughing.. The last time I woke up I asked him if he was ok, he said "yea, I'm fine, just can't sleep and I'm coughing, why am I waking you up" I think I said no but I was already asleep.. he must have felt bad because next thing you know I roll over and he wasn't in bed, he was out on the couch still coughing I could hear. Anyways the alarm clock went off at 5:something AM for us to be on the road around 5:45/6am DH had only got about an hour sleep all night long and he was driving.. He drove about a 1/2 hour when I told him to pull over and I would drive, I had planned to sleep the way to the ball tournament but I was too worried he was not awake enough to drive so I took over driving and he fell asleep or at least rested his eyes till we hit the ball park at 7:15am
DH is coaching Princess's team this year and the two of them needed to be there at 7:30am but the 1st game wasn't till 8:30am So I stayed in the van where it was warm(it was only abut 33 outside at 8:30am) and I fell asleep till 8:15am then got up brushed my hair did my makeup and bundled up in blankets to watch the 1st game. To make this story short we sat outside in 30 and low 40 degree weather and it was windy brrrrrrrrrrrrr... for 8 hours and then it was over and we were on our way home

I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open.. so I slept an hour.
After getting home I got dressed and it was off to church and awana's where my parents meet me to give me my kids and all there stuff.
After Awana's and PM church we came home I made dinner and we were eating super around 8pm.. then I got the kids in bed and watched desperate housewife's and brothers and sisters.. and then I passed out for the night.. ONLY I fell asleep with the lights and tv on, and forgot to take my blood pressure meds. OOPS.
That was my weekend.

As for other happenings going on.. I am going to be working for the next 3 weeks. I was assinged a sub job at one of the elementary schools starting tomorrow and ending November 3. that should keep be really busy with no time to blog.. or maybe it will force me to be more organized and I'll find time to blog that way, who knows.

Also please keep the Shingleton family a family from my church in your prayers. Mr Shingleton went in last Thursday for surgery, and that went well and he was doing great Friday, Saturday and Sunday, then last Monday he had a seizure and ended up in a common, which killed the top part of his brain leaving him brain dead, they have taken him off all the breathing and feeding tubes so now it is just a matter of time. Please keep his family in your prayers.

44 Days 14 hours and 5 minutes.

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend recap Oct 2-4,09

Friday Oct 2, 2009

I woke way too early Friday morning with a phone call from the schools wanting me to sub at one of the elementary schools.. So I said yes.. Got the kids up alot earlier also because it was Grandparents breakfast day for Mr Man so Sweet Pea was going to tag along to the school also and eat breakfast. After they left I got dressed and dropped Little Man off with my grandpa his Great Grandpa who was going to watch Little Man for me and take him to OT. My Grandparents were also going to pick my kids up from school for me. So off I went to work.. It was a good day at work, even if it was cold and rainy outside.

I got off work at 3:15pm and got home by 3:30pm Just as I was stepping out of the van, DH was stepping into his car to leave for work..OVERTIME!!!!!! We haven't seen overtime in about a year so this was GOOD.... I kissed him said good by and was going to use the bathroom(tmi LOL) and then go pick up my kids. But before I could walk into the house my parents stop by they wanted to take which ever kids wanted to spend the night with them back to there house..

So we got the kids and the boys took off to spend the night with my parents. Princess went to the high school football game and Sweet Pea over to a friends house.. I had the house to myself on Friday night.

By 8pm Sweet Pea was home, by 10pm Princess was calling asking if she could spend the night at a friends house and If I would drive her and said friend to there house.. So Sweet Pea and I went and did that. We got home and Sweet Pea and I laid in bed and read books till she fell asleep. Then I took a shower and DH got home around midnight. and then I went to sleep. That was Friday.

Saturday Oct 3, 2009

Saturday morning DH had to leave early to go to a coaches meeting.. Did I mention he is coaching Princess's travel tournament softball team?? Well he is the assistant coach and the pitching coach.. So he had to go to the organization coaches meeting.. He left before Sweet Pea and I woke up. around 10am I get a phone call from my mother.. my dad and Mr Man took the boat and went fishing.. and Little Man was feeling left out so we thought we would do something with him.. He is a big Toy Story fan, and since it was playing in the theaters in 3D.. I wanted to take him to see it. So mom and I ended up going to the 12pm show of Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D.. It was the 1st 3D movie I have been to in a theater(watched some at home with paper glasses SO NOT the same) it was the coolest thing..

We were at the theater for 4 hours for the two movies though.. but it was fun.. Sweet Pea took a friend with her and they enjoyed it also.

ONLY when we got home I could tell Little Man was not feeling well.. 1st he woke up at 8am no biggie that is normal.. but he fell asleep on the way from my moms house to our house at 10:30am and slept till 11pm.. Then on the way home from the movies he fell asleep again. He slept from 4pm to 4:30pm After waking up he wasn't happy because Sweet Pea had stayed at her friends house to play when I dropped the friend off at her house. around 6pm he walked into his bedroom and fell asleep again. I went and picked up Sweet Pea from her play date and then I got a phone call. Dad and MR Man was on there way home from the lake and wanted to know if anyone wanted to go back to grandmas and spend the night.. Sweet Pea wanted to so I packed her stuff and meet my dad over at my grandparents house to drop Sweet Pea off with my dad. ONLY my grandma guilt tripped Sweet Pea by saying.. you are always spending the night there, why don't you stay with me tonight.. So Sweet Pea didn't leave with Mr Man and my dad but spent the night with my grandparents her great grandparents.

While all this was going on.. around 5pm Princess and her friend came over out house to hang out they were here until 7pm when another friend parents picked them up and took them to another High School football game and after party.

Little Man stayed asleep until 11:30pm, But from 7pm till 11:30pm DH and I was basically alone.. ONLY around 8pm I got really sick.. dinner didn't stay down and I just felt awful.. So I spent the rest of the night in bed.

When Little Man woke up DH feed him dinner at 11:30pm and Little Man stayed awake till 1am then went back to sleep. Princess got home around 11pm and went to bed.

Sunday Oct 4, 2009

Woke up still feeling awful.. fever, chills, aches, sore throat, bad cough and stuffy nose. BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Little Man and I stayed home from church. ONLY he started to feel better and just wanted to play where all I wanted to do was SLEEP.. After DH got home with Princess(Mr Man went to my parents after church and Sweet Pea back to my grandma's) I went back to bed and slept pretty much the rest of the day.

Nothing I ate stayed down.. yucky yucky day.

The kids did still go to awana but no PM church for me Sunday night.

when they got back from church DH got them all in bed for me.. while I just stayed in bed and felt awful. That was my Sunday.

I'm still not feeling 100% but I"m doing better then I was on Saturday night and sunday.. sadly nothing stayed down on Monday either.. but the fever seems to be gone and the chills are also. Still feeling achy all over though.

This folks have been my weekend. even with being sick It was a fun weekend..

OH my friend Heather and I got our tickets for the opening of New Moon.. I'm soooooooooooo excited.. :-)

He's got it all figured out.

Little Man is laying on the couch tugging at his ear
Me "does your ear hurt?"
him "no"
Me "Then why are you pulling on your ear?"
him "Because it won't come off, I think someone glued it to me"
