Where did my day go? I swear I just got up. I'll tell you where it went. NOWHERE, fast.
I called Wendy last night at my Mom's (she was staying there for the weekend) and made plans to go out there for a visit this morning. Maybe I'll do this point form because it's a lot easier to add things that I've missed.
- woke up
- opened my presents
- had a shower
- rounded up the kids and headed out to Mom's
- got to Mom's
- Mom and Dad were there, Wendy and Carson were not.
- 45 minutes later, they show up (Carson with a new hairdo)
- 30 minutes after that, Wendy leaves with Martin to get his hair cut
- 45 minutes later, they come back
- 20 minutes after that, Wendy left to go shopping
- Wendy came back and it was time for us to leave shortly thereafter
- went to the grocery store to pick up a few items that were needed for my birthday dinner
- got home and started to watch a movie with the boys
- Tom got back from the driving range
- Tom fired up the BBQ to cook the steaks and baked potatoes.
- Ran out of propane part way through
- Tom fired up the indoor grill
- We ate dinner.
- I lounged / dozed on the couch
- Saw the kids off to bed.
- Saw Tom off to bed
- went to the grocery store
- put the groceries away
- sat and typed this exciting post.
So, as you can see, I didn't have much of a visit with Wendy as she spent most of the time out and about. I'm not sure if she has a shopping problem, but whenever I see her, she is showing me what she bought - or is heading out to buy something.
For my birthday, Cole and Brett got me a couple nail files and a set of cuticle nippers to replace the ones that I never did find. Tom gave me a gift card for Michael's to use towards a Cricut along with two new shirts. My Mom and Dad gave me cash.
Jade called to wish me a happy birthday... she asked if I was at Grandma's and I said yes. She asked if Grandma sang to me and I said no. She said "well that's present enough isn't it?" I told her I was going to tell her Grandma what she said and Jade replied "please don't, because then she'll sing it three times to me on my birthday!"
So, I got off the phone with Jade and I told my Mom what she'd said. About 20 minutes later my cell phone rang again. Call display told me it was Jade, so I handed the phone to my Mom and said "do you want to answer it?" My Mom grabbed the phone and started singing Happy Birthday (Marilyn Monroe style). Too funny - well it might not seem that funny to you, but my Mom has the WORST singing voice (but that NEVER stops her)!
So anyway, here it is, the wee hours of the new work week and I am still awake, drinking a horrid coffee from Horton's and thinking that I should drag this butt to bed.
While at my Mom's, she showed me some old school work of mine that involved pictures I got from Wendy. Because they were Wendy's pictures, my Mom said she was giving it to her and not me. So I said I wanted to scan it before Wendy took it. So, I will scan it at work and will try to post it. I swear, I was horrified to think that I handed this thing in. I was in grade 8. I cannot imagine what my teacher thought. (I did get an A on it though). Not sure why??
Blah blah blah. Yadda yadda yadda.
Tomorrow. Morning. See you then!
WOW - thats all I can say about your day yesterday..........WOW
ReplyDeleteWas Wendy expecting you at your parents?
Yes. Called her Saturday night to make the arrangements. Asked if she wanted to meet for breakfast and now I know why she poo-poo'd that suggestion...
