Whew.....

I tackled a lot more than I should have last week, but I wanted to get the house cleaned up. I throughly cleaned the kids room, including their closets, and the rest of the house. Pete & I had a date Friday night. We went to dinner at Stir Crazy and watched World Trade Center. The last movie we saw was United 93. I told Pete that we have to see a comedy next. I'm all for watching 'history, ' but Pete is obessed with anything & everything 9/11 especially with the 5 yr anniversary coming up.

I have been getting massive headaches at night on top of my allergies flaring up and still having some stomach issues so I've been going to bed early & falling alseep within minutes.

Saturday morning, we drove up to TC to pick up the kids. As I thought would happen, Kiersten was royally upset at us & would not come to us & stayed with my mom. About 2 1/2 hrs later after she woke up from a nap, she was herself and we had a lot of fun just hanging out at the house. Sunday morning, I sent Pete, Peter & Calvin off to Bounce Arena (this place is fun, but they have a lot of organization problems...long story) for a hour while I packed up. We left TC about 1:30pm, the kids both took a nap and for a little while we had peace & quiet. We stopped at Birch Run Outlet for about an hour to let the kids get out of the car & we finally made it home around 7pm.

This Saturday, we are making a day trip to Grand Rapids (2+hrs) for my brother's (CJ) and his financee's engagment party. It's pretty small, but I am making the flower arrangements for the center pieces (only 4 tables), my famous Pasta Salad and I am bring the veggies for the veggie tray. It's a lot to do with 2 little kids 'helping' me, but I'm sure it'll get done.

Then my mom is coming back with us Sat night because her citizenship interview is on Monday the 28th in Detroit. Mon night, we are driving halfway to TC and my brother is driving halfway down to pickup my mom & the kids. Pete is on vacation all next week so we were going to spend time in TC, however, Pete's dad had to reaarange his colonoscopy (3rd time) from the 24th to Tues the 29th so we have to come back to take him to that & then we will go back up to TC. I didn't want the kids to be in the car so much. I can't wait until I feel 100% and can acutally have fun ( :
