Thursday: Joshua's birthday. He wanted to go to Hooter's....errrm, for the wings...no really, he loves their wings. So, we had mozzarella sticks, wings and curly fries. Well, let's just say after that fried food bonanza (none of us are used to), we were feeling it that night and the next day!
Friday: My Mom invited me, or should I say Madeline, to a Winnie the Pooh play about a month ago that the program that she works for was going to. I'm kind of Anti-Winnie the Pooh, so I wasn't thrilled, but I agreed to go. Well, it was better than I thought. It was their spin on the original A.A. Milne books, so it wasn't the new, annoying characters...it was the original characters and their costumes were designed from this.....
M met my Mom's friends and the awesome thing was that they all felt like they knew us from the daily pictures and stories that my Mom tells. My Mom actually makes my FB pic of the day her screen saver of the day. I get that a lot, though. People feel as if they know us from our pictures. Over lunch my Mom asked if that bothered me. Heck no, it doesn't bother me....why would it? It actually makes me smile that people get enjoyment out of our pictures. Interesting FB quote someone had last week that I keep in my daily thoughts now..... If you like it, I love it. It is quite interesting that some may assume I am putting my whole life on here. No way. A funny story or two? Yes. My whole life? Hell to the no. I haven't even scratched the surface and it's quite offensive that some may think my life could be this boring!
We also stopped by to see my Me-mom and Be-pop. There was a card game going on with Me-mom's friends. I love them...when they're around it's like having 4 extra Me-moms.haha. I wish I would have taken a picture or 2 with all of them and M!
Saturday and Sunday: Consisted of 4 baseball games!! Saturday was hot and sunny, then Sunday was cold and cloudy. No wonder my system is a little messed up today. Here's our weekend summed up by pictures....
Today: We went to story time at the library. M loves story time because of all the singing and the kids. She's so alert and ready to watch what the librarian is going to do next...[so alert or nosey?..either way, she loves it]. The "shaky eggs" song happens to be her favorite. It's funny because I already knew all of these librarian songs and things because we used to have them come into the classrooms once a month. When we first came in, the librarian looked distraught. Then she whispered to a couple of us that there was a bat laying belly up, moving his legs on the window sill. In an effort not to send a room full of women into a panic, we suggested she put a box over it, then deal with it after story time. When she put the box over it, it started to squeak and she had to tell the rest of the women....who acted like typical women. I felt bad for the bat, obviously dying if he was laying on his back, then a box was thrown over him, he was probably scared. But, it stopped after we started singing...I suggested that he liked story time too. No bueno... that made the women think about it again. Oops. So, afterward, she did not want any help removing the bat to the outside....I'm sure because it would have been a liability? That or she thought it would accidentally get loose in the library! haha.
After that, I went to Acme to get these fish fillets (yuck!) for Anthony. That's all I got. 4 fish fillets. I was so fast (which I never am in any store), I knew what I wanted, went through the self check-out, threw my receipt in the trash on the way out in an effort to keep my new bag trash free and I was back in the van and on my way home, all while talking to the baby the entire time, in a matter of minutes. I got home and went to get M and the bag out of the back. No bag. Really? So, I had to call Acme and make sure they would let me come get my fish with no receipt. THIS made a song pop into my head...Where is my mind? by the Pixies. Yeah, so, another example that I'm one of those Moms....I talk to my baby the entire time I'm in the store then forget to complete the steps of shopping....like bringing home what I paid for.
On another note.....as of Friday, Madeline is officially a roller. She was doing it only sometimes and it would take a while. Now she does it all the time and it has become so easy for her! Only problem is that she hates being on her belly....so she kind of gets mad every time she does it.
