The weekend and other things....

*Imagine cute, appropriate graphic here*

(my animationfactory isn't working)

 

And so, another weekend has come and gone. Let's take a look back and reminisce, shall we?

 

For the past month all I have been hearing is how my husband does not want to go to bike week in Daytona because, "it will be my 4th time and I've seen it all". Fine, whatever. I don't care. But he brings it up every single day. Needless to say I was not surprised when he came home Wednesday and said, "You know, I think I'll drive down there on Saturday to meet the guys, and just do some of the demo rides." Sure honey, whatever. Of course by Thursday it was, "You know, if I leave Saturday morning I'll have to get up really early to get there in time so, I think I'll go Friday and spend the night." Yeah, like I didn't see that one coming. So, he left Friday afternoon, which meant I had a free evening and day on Saturday since wee one was going out for the day with her aunt and Betsy had to work. Go me!

 

Friday night while JB was having dinner on the beach, enjoying the nightlife....I was sitting at my desk, talking to my best friend online, and eventually talking to her via phone for four hours. It was great....we had such a fun time. We acted like schoolgirls, giggling over things talking about our feelings....the works. No one can ever tell me that friends you make online are "fake" friends. She is like a sister to me and her friendship is firmly planted in my heart....

 

Saturday I spent blissfully, wonderfully alone. I say this bearing in mind that as of next Friday, I will no longer be alone....for 10 freaking days. Yes, it's spring break here in the sunshine state. My girls will be home and wandering about, driving me insane. Oh, and it gets better....dh decided to take two days off, making the end of the week (and you just know what a great mood I'll be in by then! lol) a flippin four day weekend. Here's hoping we can figure out something fun to do. I would love to go to Sea World but there is no way I would consider getting near Orlando during spring break....sheesh! So, we will probably spend some time at the beach. We still haven't taken London....

 

Speaking of London, she goes in tomorrow to be spayed. I can't feed her after midnight tonight....and that is going to be a challenge. She is so cute in the morning. She knows her routine perfectly! I get up, take her out, then we come in the house and she runs for the food bowls. I pick up the water dish first and she bats at my hand with her paw as if to say, "Nevermind the water....bring on the chow!" When I fill her bowl she runs over to me to watch, then on the way back she twirls....she twirls in circles until I begin setting it down and she sits so pretty for me. She's such a good girl! I don't know how I'm going to get away with not feeding her! I think I'll feed her tonight around 10. That will ease my guilt. She will be staying overnight, so I will have a dog free 24 hours. I'll be lonely!

 

I worked for a few hours with wee one today on her homework. We still have to go over some math for a re-test she has to take tomorrow. Unfortunately, with all of the FCRAP preparation, he didn't give them very many assignments and I am afraid she is going to get a "D" this time. I was looking back at her report cards for the year and they were all honor roll. She just had such a hard time with the subject matter on this one. Last night she called me into my bedroom and laid on the bed with me....then burst into tears. She said it was the stress and the fact that she will be let go from the Safety Patrol. I felt horrible for her. She was so SAD. I told her to try her very best on her test Monday, since it's the end of the grading period. She said she will but that she knows she will fail. Poor thing! I told her she does NOT know that and that we would figure it out together. And you know what? She knows the material. I just pray she doesn't freeze up.

 

Earlier when we were studying, she finally understood something and smiled as she said, "I feel like a kid at Sylvan!" LMAO....(Sylvan Learning Centers for kids who need tutoring). She is such a nut.

 

I knew she had a lot of work to do, but I let her go out yesterday just to relax. That kid is so stressful. She spent an entire day in St. Augustine, at a garden club, the lighthouse museum (they climbed to the top of the light house too), and at the beach. They did lunch at a wonderful little pizza place and had a great time. She looked so happy when she came home. Then....she tells me later that she felt guilty for going. I asked her why and she said, "Because I knew I should be studying. I kept thinking about it all day." Jeez. She is feeling better now....waiting for JB to finish eating so we can go on our nightly walk.

 

It's been so warm this weekend! 84 each day....I've been sweating my bum off on my daily walks. If the dieting doesn't work, the sweating will! LOL. I don't know why people join gyms here in Florida. The humidity is free and almost year round!

 

Well, that's it from this end....my hub is calling me to put my walking shoes on....I sure hope he means just for the exercise!
