Weekend recap

The plan was to have a kinda low-key weekend and looking back, I think we were successful.

Friday I made several stops on my way home, to return a shirt I didn't try on before I bought it (i KNOW better), to buy my son some overpriced cologne that he's been begging for and to look for some black sandals that don't kill my feet. My dad called but I had turned off my ringer (see son that wanted overpriced cologne) so when I came back to the cellular world, he called again. It was unexpected, but a cousin was found dead in his apartment. Shock. I kinda went into a zone and finished my errands in silence and ready to be home with my honey. He knew right away that something was wrong but I felt like if I didn't say it out loud, maybe it didn't really happen. My stomach turned, I felt nauseous so I climbed into bed. The royal wedding recap was all over the television but I just didn't feel like applauding such extravagance at the moment.

Saturday morning we headed to Rylan's game, which was a bloodbath. Not really, but it was bad, they were playing a team with kids 2-3 years older than ours and also a select team. Ha! Our kids had fun & ultimately, at this age, that's all that matters. Afterwards, Den and I headed to Allen for a day of shopping. We got a few things at the outlet mall which was HUGE. It was a long drive but I'd say well worth it. We had a late lunch, came home and watched movies~perfect ending to the day!

Sunday Funday. I went grocery shopping, discovered a pretty awesome policy offerred by HEB, took a nap, made Paula Deen's lasagna and ended the day with Khloe & Lamar ~ insert big puffy heart here ~

Raining today, so ballgames have been cancelled. We will welcome the brief haitus and real food for dinner vs. hot dogs and nachos with flourescent cheese.

Shopping anyone?

I live close enough to Canton, Texas to enjoy First Monday Trade Days when my schedule & the weather allows. http://www.cantontradedays.com/ Check out their schedule. I love this place. You can find just about anything and I mean that. Last month I bought a super cute baseball shirt and the same co. has a coupon for Canton for 20% off -- which makes their shirts more affordable :-) Here's the one I might buy this month...or one that says "Make Cupcakes Not War" Saweeeeeet! You can check them out here http://www.mytiarafits.com/ I'm going with my mom, sis (V), niece and GREAT niece. We had loads of fun last month so I'm sure it will be great. I'm more excited about being OFF WORK! I should probably help my hubby love do something house-related, but .... I'm not. He doesn't mind though.

Missing my tres amigos

Chopped my hair off and guess what? I love it. It's not boring and drab and crappy, it's super cute and despite the fact that I have to actually take the time every morning to FIX it, it's great, besides, I wanted to "fix it", I just didn't know how. Go me! I love changes like this sometimes.

So the boys have been with their dad since Friday. It's Wednesday! The weekend, fine - i'm okay with that. Monday, mmm, okay if they want to stay. Tuesday, yeaaaaaa.....momma needs her babies. It's the longest they've been away from me in quite some time. Don't get me wrong, it was quiet and I didn't have to cook or clean up (much), and I could come home and flop on the couch and not look out the window or door every 10 minutes to check on anyone, yea - that part was nice, but i feel so lost. Seriously, I don't know what to do with myself. I can't wait to see them when I get home tonight. The hen is ready to get her baby chicks under her wing!

Speaking of my boys, I'm taking them school clothes shopping this weekend. Ought to be interesting! D is all about name brand everything and while I've been looking for coupons online, no such luck for these stores. M wants a lot of the same things his older brother likes, but D can wear and XS in mens, M...not so much. R just wants his own "cool" clothes. We're hitting up the mall, a place I rarely visit although I'm pretty pumped about the mall pizza.
