Procrastination

Well though my title says procrastination, I really didn't procrastinate to wash clothes tonight. It's going on 2130 but I'm in the middle of trying to get 3 loads washed and dried before I hit the sack. We ran out of detergent a few days ago and I didn't have the chance to get over to Sam's to get a resupply before this afternoon. I hate when the kids start the week with nothing clean to wear so I'm at least getting their things washed and ready. I won't be able to put them up tonight 'cause they're sleep already but they'll be folded and ready to go in drawers and closets tomorrow. Maybe I'll get a chance to put them up during lunch...

This was a fun weekend though. Short but fun. Yesterday was long and busy. It started out completely perfect when my kids did not wake me up but let me sleep in until a whopping 0900. I was flabbergasted. I mean, I haven't slept in that late since....I seriously can't remember. In fact, I woke up at 7 and looked up at the clock and though to myself, Bug will be up and calling in just a few. I'll just lay here until he does. Next thing you know, it's 8 something. I keep laying there 'cause I'm surprised and tired all at the same time. I actually got up and went to check on them to see if they were okay. They must have both gotten the same word from the Lord because they were up but just chilling in their rooms. WOW! Needless to say, they made mommy very happy and started off my day well. We had a wonderful breakfast of daddy's pancakes and then went outside in the very warm weather we're starting to experience here in El Paso. There was a garden show at noon so we walked down the street to be a part of the community. Came back home, nap time (woohoo). I jetted over to Target to pick up a few items and then back home to get ready for a birthday party.

Now about this party, it was at Chuck E. Cheese. Yay! NOT! Bug had been wanting to go to Chuck E. Cheese for weeks now. He saw the commercial on tv (dang, regular Nick and it's commercials) and asked to go every time we passed by it on the way home from church. Of course I was thinking he probably wouldn't like it just 'cause it's loud and noisy and those puppets freak out the bravest of kids. However, since he was invited to the party, we'd go and support and see just how well he would do. HE LOVED IT! Ohmygoodness, you talking about sensory overload. First of all, it was crowded as all get out. I know they were probably over the fire code with how many people were crammed in that building. The music was loud. The lights were flashing, it was just too much. He wanted to try and do everything. Baby girl quickly accessed that it was mayhem and foolishness and let us know the whole time, she was ready to go but I wanted him to get his full. So we rode, banged, flipped, rolled, slid and every other game they had to offer until we were out of tokens and us parents were out of energy. We have declared that we will never go again. I know we can't say never but you better believe, it will be a VERY LONG time before we grace Chuck's door again. And may I add, the prices are outrageous!

Sunday started off a little crazy just because time changes do that to you! Especially springing forward. I got us up and out on time but when we got back, it was a quick sandwich and slumber for everyone. That was one good nap! Bug and I jetted over to Sam's to pick up necessities and then over to the PX. All of a sudden this weekend hubs decides that all of his shoes are too small and that he can only wear his Timbs. Um, not gonna happen. The Timbs are cute but it's getting really hot around here and Timbs aren't really made for running and jumping which he will be doing alot of since they go outside daily now. So picked up a couple of pairs for him and baby girl. Now I just have to find a nice pair of sandals, probably the Stride Rite's and we'll be good at least until fall.

Well, it's officially 10 and the 2nd load is drying. Should be almost done and the 3rd and last can go in. I'm thinking that I might not be able to see that one all the way through. I'll have to catch it on the flip side 'cause I need to go and fold these two loads and two other loads from 2 weeks ago. Yeah, we won't talk about that. Until later, ciao!
