Have you ever had such a busy weekend that you say, I need a vacation!!- that just wasn’t long enough and I had no time to rest!? Well folks… I’m going to get my wish! I’m going on Vacation tomorrow! YEA! Not before putting in some major work today on a busy busy day…
This weekend I feel like I didn’t stop. We went to the mall- what a nightmare that was! I get a little anxious in crowds sometimes and people down here in S. FL are SOOOO RUDE! Much more then any other place I’ve ever been. It’s a huge mall too, always busy. We had lunch out at a resturant (because the foodcourt was a ZOO), which never happens, we’re poor! (we had a gift certificate lol) Well, we did rest for a little to watch 2 of the “Left Behind” series movies with Kirk Cameron. Then… we set up the Christmas stuff!! EARLY I KNOW! But C wanted to set it up this weekend so it would already be set up when we returned from our vacation. We usually set it up right after Thanksgiving or Dec 1st, and we wont be getting home until Dec 2nd, a Tuesday, so most likely wouldn’t set it up til the next weekend. So, I humored him and agreed to set everything up. And I’m glad I did becuase it did put me in a rather cheery mood! So that was all just Saturday! Sunday I was slow moving because I couldn’t sleep Saturday night. We stayed up way too late setting up the decorations and I was up early as usual. We had to finish setting up the decorations we didn’t get a chance the night before. Then I painted the dresser knobs!! What a process. First I had to paint them white, 2 coats. And then I practiced what I was going to paint on paper before I tried it on the knobs. It’s for the babys room so I was painting within our Frog and Duck theme. I thought about doing some butterflies and dragonflies too, but I was having fun with the frogs so I did 4 frogs and 4 ducks… to actually paint on the knobs it took me 4 hours!! that is not including all that prep time! Crazy. But I think they turned out rather well if I do say so myself!!
After the painting and brief break, I had to go to the store and then I tried to pack after dinner. I pulled out all my winter clothes about a month ago to see what would fit me over my pregnant belly! Well, it has grown conciderably since then so I had to re-try everything on and I could only fit into 1/2 of what I previously took out!! fun stuff… so instead of having things to chose from, I have just enough to last me the 8 days we’ll be in Michigan! And that includes the dress clothes I wear to work lol so i can’t be casual the whole time… owell… And that was my weekend, it’s usually not so event filled, and that was after a busy busy week. Normally during the week I dont do much after work, but Tues-Thurs I wasn’t home at night. I’m just glad I have the next week off work! It will be SOOO NICE!
