Do you get excited over sunsets? I mean there are some nights are truly beautiful I admit.But not to the extent of jumping up and down and running around. These girls . Oh my goodness. It was ridiculous. We started out at the Painted Alley to kill time and then to top of the Equalization Channel to see the sunset. Pizza was for dinner . Derek went to bed at 7pm . The girls went off bowling. I stayed home trying a new crochet pattern and watching friends . It was very exciting.
The idea of going to Enchanted Rock or Sonora Caverns was a great idea in theory . But it doesn’t really work if people don’t get out of bed until 2:30om ! So No nothing exciting happened. They wanted lunch at 2:30 and they were not happy about the menu of leftover pizza. Oh but I’m so sorry I paid for it . Your going to eat it ! They watched movies and well I really don’t know what they did. Saturday night they played with slime and play- doh . Sad to think they don’t have play doh where they come from . They fought over the slime. They had gross brisket tacos for dinner I say gross It’s not something I would eat . They loved it , Derek had chili . I didn’t have anything. Well I had crown . Let’s get real . And I did not wait around on them I am happy to report . I left the house at 9 am to find I had a flat tire . It was cold and there was a screw in it ! And the ding- dong was trying to tell me they may not be able to fix the tire . Oh yes you can . It’s not in the sidewall. They do not like it when you know these things . It pays to have had a daddy who worked for Goodyear.
One votive melted, and candle stuff bought to put a candle into it. For a Valentine. Grocery shopping done twice what for I do not know . I feel like I didn’t really buy much . I bought chicken and chicken. But I did not buy lemonade or Cran Grape . And I just don’t think I’m going to . They can’t put their dishes in the sink , they can’t clean their bathroom or at least keep it presentable . Teriyaki Salmon and yellow squash for dinner Sunday Derek made okay I guess I made buffalo chicken legs . Homemade Ice Cream was for dessert and the kicker was brownie waffle . It was a disaster, it came out of the waffle maker and on to the counter top and it was a mess ! But I tried . I new I needed a trail run . But NOOOOOO . I was supposed to get them in the kitchen and do this . Which they where no help . They stood and watched my disaster. And took a video and sent it to Korea. So Ice Cream with Magic Shell and cherries. And whip cream . Allison was afraid of the whip cream , I said open up ! And NO. Who knows someone that will not eat the cream out of a can. Get real . Julie was all for it . And they sat there starring at the ice cream . Uh it’s just chocolate. And Ice cream get over it. And oh they appreciate my efforts .
I think Derek’s mother did his laundry for him from the appearance of it. And the scent of the laundry soap and the way his sock where folded. Says Mamu I could be wrong . But I don’t think I am.
The weekend was nice and warm and dramatically cooled off by 10pm and woke up to 58 degrees and currently raining at 39. It’s a Beautiful Day out there. Dinner of week consisted of chicken and rice that I really thought they would like it. They did eat it. but not much of it. Spaghetti and garlic bread, Pulled pork sandwiches, and they picked Rosa’s for no cook Thursday Chicken Fajita. And I got them chocolate cake.
One more week. And they go back home.
Today is Valentine’s Day the girls have been home all day .There was no school today. I left the house at 6:00. I have been awake since 3am , for the 2nd day in a row. And I have no idea whats for dinner. And at this moment nothing sounds good. And I can promise you when I’m hungry nothing will sound good then either.
There is nothing planned for the weekend. I mean why bother ? Sunday The girls have to be at the bus at 8am to head to San Antonio . And they are gone til Monday around 9pm. Derek has a 3 day weekend due to President’s Day . I do not.
However on the upside of this They have to clean their own bathroom !!!!!
Well Darlings I’m afraid this was not a very exciting read. Let’s see what next week holds shall we?
Infinite X’s & O’s
It's a Sweet Life
