Happy Monday!

Well, before I sign on to all the other sites I thought I would jump on and recap the weekend. To start off I was up until 4:30 am on Friday night finishing up Meem's dance costumes. Needless to say, I dropped her off at dress rehearsal and fell back into bed and pretty much slept through the rest of Saturday!! But, Kent had everything under control, woke me up to tell me he was going to pick up Meems and the Booge was over at My friend Dede's house playing with Jake. I roll out of bed to silence - Ahhhh! I get a call from Dede and all she's says is "I'm keeping your kid, does he have to be anywhere tomorrow?" MAGIC WORDS!! (Code for Booge is sleeping over here, when do I need to get him home, or can he just stay 'till whenever) So, a nice quiet afternoon with the hubby watching the hockey game and cracking the whip at Meems to keep working on her project. It dawns on me about 8:00pm that Dede never came by to pick up Booge's stuff after the baseball game. Give her a ring and say I'll be coming by, grab his stuff and the martini fixin' and the phone rings - before I even pick it up - Kent's yells "Don't take all my pop down there!" See, Dede likes "Smith & Wesson's" and doesn't like using regular Pepsi because of the caffeine, but she knows Kent drinks caffeine free Pepsi and she's ALWAYS bummin! Oh well, that;s what friends are for! Sure enough before she even gets the question out of her mouth, I say I've got it and I'm on my way. A loverly Saturday night in the burb's on the deck sippin' drinks with the neighbors and keeping 6 boys from killing each other... Sunday dawns at 11:00 am for me, since I was up 'till 3:00am on Saturday. But, like I told Kent I'm practicing for those late nights in Vegas! And if your read my other post that mentioned Dede, you know her troubles and she was in need of a bit of a breakdown and much needed vent. So Sunday was catch up day - Catch up the wash, the bills, the errands here and there and then a lazy Sunday afternoon into evening. Finally Meems gets her project done at 9:00 and we can officially put a "the end" on the weekend. After Meems got the project finished I asked her to tell me honestly, when did she get the assignment, how long did she really have to get this done....... JANUARY!! I calmly let loose a tirade about blah, blah, blah, turned around, and went to bed. And here we are, it's Monday and I'm officially ready to start the race to Vegas.

Ready, Set, GO!!
