Weekend rundown...

Here it is in a nut shell....the weekend!

On Saturday we went to my Neice's 8th birthday party! It was a pool party! The kids had a ball swimming. I swear they are part fish. Of course, a family birthday party is always interesting when it's my family. In attendance were my Mom, Grandma, Dad, Sister, and my Dad's newest wife.....now might be a good time to mention that none of them really get along with each other!! yeah! you guessed it! GOOD TIMES. So Brian and I spent most of the afternoon focusing on the kids...oh, I forgot to mention that I finally got to meet my sisters boyfriend for the first time....the one that she has been dating for over a year....and that she can't marry of move in with cause she is still married to her husband....oh yeah!! AND...his loud mouth sister, who happens to be my sisters friend (that I have met before) was there too! I can't stand the site of her. She give the term "poor white trash" an entirely new meaning! UGH! She just goes thru me like a hot knife! But....the kids had a ball and my neice seemed to really love all her presents....so I guess it was a success!

Sunday my wonderful hubby let me sleep in....until 9am!! That just never happens in this house anymore. For us, sleeping in has turned into 7am...tops. We putzed around the house most of the day. I got some scrappin done, alittle picking up, and got my groceries put away too.
We went for a power walk in the evening around the pond (they actually refer to it as "the lake" but I can just about throw a rock acrossed it...where I come from, that makes it a pond). All in all a pretty quite day...just the way I like it.

I do have one funny to share though...

Brian ran to the book store so I took advantage of the chance to get some scrappin done. I was in my room and my cell phone rang....it was Brian. I said hello...nothing....I said HELLO...still nothing. I can hear him talking and alot of rustling, but I can't make out what he is saying....I say again...HEELLLLOO!! Nothing still! So now I am totally thinking he has been kidnapped and forced into the truck of a car...that I am the only person that can save him on his last attempt to contact someone before the kidnappers realize he has a cellphone...I can picture him in the trunk of a car fumbling with hands tied together to speed dial my number...AND I can't make out what he is saying to save him!!! (yep, I know....dramatic, but that is the way my head works) So know I say...with a bit of panic....HONEY...HELLO...can you hear me....HONEY!!!

then.....I hear....with laughter in his voice....hello!!! I say.....ARE YOU OK?? he says...well yeah, I'm fine! I say....well why did you call me and then not say anything....to which he says...I didn't call you....I was standing here at the lumber yard and I kept hearing someone say hello...HELLLO! Then I realized it was my shorts!!! and there you were.

So the long and the "short" of the story. Somehow, he called me from his shorts without knowing it! Note to self....if I find myself in the same situation again, make sure to ask if this is the shorts calling....before I call 911 to report a kidnapping..LOL!! (I so know that this may not be funny to YOU...but I laughed about it for the rest of the day).


Happy Monday Morning to you all.
