Weekend Update

We pretty much kept to ourselves this weekend.
Love Man and I watched "The Social Network".
It was good.
We also went to see "The King's Speech".
I saw it with Mrs. W previously.
But, Love Man had not seen it yet.
It was even better the second time around.
Two weekends ago, we were trying to figure out which flicks to see.
LM was trying his best to fit "The King's Speech" into the schedule.
All for me.
I finally had to fess up.
"Okay, I saw it already. I didn't want to hurt your feelings."
In fact, I cheated on him with a movie and tried to keep it quiet.
It didn't work.
He kept teasing me about it.
But, in the end it all worked out.

Ode to Carbination

Have I mentioned that I am not drinking as much Dr. Diet Pepper?
I am down to about 2 - 3 per week.
I usually have one on Sunday and Friday, with a desperate cheat mid-week.
The rest of the time,
I am drinking iced tea.


I make hot tea in the mornings in the winter,
but I have always done that.


I love it the tea.
It is a blend Typhoo and a mint sweetened with stivia.
It is awesome.
I even bring it with me to school.


I still ardently love and admire Diet Dr. Pepper,
but I am happy with my tea.

And On and On

Yesterday was a delightful day.

I walked youngest girl to school with dogs and oldest girl,
insert Neighbor Meggan, her children and random neighbor kids.
I got oldest girl to school,
went to work.
Worked.
Then,
had a mandatory training session.
I got trained for two blinking hours.
Then, prepped for "Guy's Night".
I left work just in time to pick up Miss B.
I picked up oldest girl and had a Diet Dr. Pepper as I was going to die.
Miss Brunette and I went to youngest girl's basketball game.
I left at half-time and threw on nicer clothes for "Guy's Night".
You might as well know that I drove to school with curlers in my hair.
It was either that or have flat, dead hair or be late.
I somehow managed to look nice.
Dad's Night went well.
I stopped at grocery store on the way home.
Then, I mulled around house with very little focus.
I went to bed watching the sanitized version of "Sex in the City".
I woke up this morning because my stomach was growling.
I mostly ate cookies and nothing much else yesterday.
My teaching partner had even less food for the day.
We discussed this.

After the game, Miss B and Blonde Girl had to walk home.
Love Man tried to make it to the game,
but it didn't happen.
He had dropped of printed materials for me.
Remember that my computer is not working.
He then drove down our street and collected the girls who were schelping their way home.

All in all, it went like clockwork.

Ta Da

I have had a terrible time trying to post this week.
My computer is not working with or on the internet.
Hopefully,
Love Man can get it going.
We did manage to back-up the preschool stuff.

It has been a busy, crazy week.


Blonde Girl was great in the basketball game on Tuesday.
She even made a basket!
It was beautiful.
Swish!
I yelled, "oh, my God!"
I did,
really loud.
in my defense,
I had never seen her make a basket.
In fact,
I really had never seen her play basketball.
She suddenly announced,
one day,
"I am going to try out for basketball."
"Umm, really?"
She did.
She did not make the team.
She became the manager.
The coach was nice and let the managers practice sometimes with the team.
One of the players moved.
Next thing you know,
Miss Thing was in.
She is delighted with the whole turn of events.

Is it Only Tuesday

What's Next

I have already walked the nearly one mile to Blonde Girl's school.
Naturally,
the dogs go and we also walk with Neighbor Meggan and her two children.
We routinely make a spectacles out of ourselves.
I mean, two moms, four children and three dogs.
When it is cold in the morning,
Sam refuses to walk and has lately taken to riding inside of Meggan's jacket.
LOL.
Former and current preschoolers wave wildly at us.
I get asked while shopping at the grocery store,
"now which dogs are yours and which ones are Meggan's?"
Miss Brunette walks with us mostly everyday.
Sometimes, if her hair is in hot rollers, she skips it.
When we got home today,
the Romanian counter top guys were waiting.
They were supposed to be here between 8:30 and 9:00.
I have a crack in my counter top.
At installation,
it was not supported correctly.
I wanted a new one,
but must have used all my mojo trying to get a new tile roof.
They are repairing it and resanding all of the counter tops.
I wasn't ready for them.
But, cleared the counter tops in a flash.
Blonde Girl has an away basketball game.
Miss Brunette has a show choir district concert.
I am thrilled I was not called to sub today.
I am living the dream.

Live From the Front

Hello,
we had a nice weekend.
Blonde Girl and the team won their soccer game.
Blue Thunder is hot!
Love Man and Blonde Girl went to "Tron".
Yes, I previously reported we were going to "Tron",
but it never happened.
I was lucky enough to see two movies this weekend,
"The King's Speech" and "No Strings Attached".
"The King's Speeech" was incredible.
I have to see it again.
I also saw "No Strings Attached" and that was funny.
The girls went to Sunday school/confirmation.
Miss Brunette and I later went to NCL.
I also had time to do a bit of organizing and grocery shopping.
What are you having tonight for dinner?
I just put a meat loaf in the oven.
We are also going to have mashed potatoes.
Doesn't that sound good?
I have not made meat loaf in ages.
