Just Another Snowy Weekend

This weekend was great! It was forcasted to snow on Saturday, and of course every weatherman and weather station had a slightly different take on when it was going to start, how long it was going to last and how much we were going to get. So, I planned to do nothing outside of my house all weekend. And I didn't, well for the most part anyway.

I had a late meeting at work on Friday--who does that?--so I had my Mom take the kids to her house after school and I would just get them from there. Of course they didn't want to leave, but I was exhausted and just wanted to get home. I had no milk or eggs, so I had to stop at the little quickie mart down the street before heading to the house. I had so much I wanted to do this weekend I decided to start cleaning the house Friday night so that I could get down to the organizing and purging Saturday and Sunday. So my friends, that is how I spent my Friday night--vacuuming, dusting, cleaning kids bedrooms, doing dishes--yeah, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that is what my Friday nights would look like, funny isn't it?

Saturday morning the little people actually let me sleep in until 8am--HOLY CRAP IT'S A MIRACLE!!!! That is rare in this house let me tell ya. Now don't get me wrong, there are many weekends where I don't get out of bed until 8am or after, but that by no means doesn't mean I was sleeping--I am usually laying there, trying to sleep while the two little darlings lay next to me fidgeting and fighting and pull at the covers and kick and argue and the list goes on, until finally I decide it's time to get up :) So, for them to actually remain in their beds, asleep themselves until 8am, is a miracle.
Once we did get up we ate breakfast and all dispersed our separate ways for pretty much the entire day. I was up in my room cleaning out our closet (what a task in a half that was!) the kids were each in separate rooms watching t.v. or playing video games. We met up in the kitchen for lunch and to chat for a bit and discuss what we wanted to do for the rest of the day. We pretty much decided we liked what we were doing and were going to continue doing that--works for me. Skyler ended up going to a friends house, she was going to sleepover there, but then the friend changed her mind--we had a minor meltdown, but we overcame it as usual. Gage was bummed that she wasn't sleeping at her friends house because I told him we would have a sleepover in my room (they both can not sleep in bed with me, not gonna happen) and now that wasn't going to happen. Then I told him we would get Burger King for dinner, but then it started to snow, so that wasn't going to happen either--poor kid, lol. I gave them a choice of Chinese, pizza or I could make pork chops--they chose Chinese (go figure) so we had that and they ended up having a sleepover in the t.v. room so all was well at the end of the night.

We woke up this morning to snow on the ground--not as much as I thought we were going to get, so that was good. I had zero desire to get out there and scrape the car off at 8am this morning though so we did not make it to church this morning (I know, I'm bad and I'm probably going to hell) I felt bad about it, I really did, I'm not just saying that--especially after playing hookie on Thursday from CCD--ugh--I hate feeling guilty--I'm going to have to come up with something really good for the kids to do on Thursday at class to make up for it! Anyway, today was pretty much like yesterday--I'm still in my pj's that I put on Friday night before I went to bed--the kids went to friends houses for a little while today. I was going to organize a little more, but then ended up just watching movies most of the day, it was kind of nice. Skyler rode her bike to her friends house--totally against my advice--and then ended up calling me because she didn't want to ride it back (uh duh?!?!?) so I figured while I was out picking her up we might as well run over to my parents house and get out of our house for a while. So we did. Yup, I was still in my pj's :) I'm glad we went over, Mom had made stew so we got dinner out of it--I love when that happens! We hung out there for a while and then came back home, the kids played video games, did homework, had tubs and I just put them to bed a little while ago. Now all is quiet and I can get ready for the week ahead--is it Friday yet?
