What Weekend?!

I have to go to a course tomorrow that I would really like to get out of but can't. I'm working on Sunday, and when I am home I have to work on stuff for the play. I am so ready to have bleacher butt season coming up. Cole's working tonight, Kyle and most of his class are going to see the movie Fired Up, and Clay is going to help me make paper mache walnuts. Whoopee we live life in the fast lane. Enjoy your quiet and fun weekends.

Set almost done

Almost done is a wonderful thing except when the directors come up to you and say "Oh by the way..." This could mean something as small as we need a cane to we need 50 large nuts for the squirrels. Ok I thought I could relax a little, no way! Then I also get a call to work this Sunday in Wild Rose. I knew I'd get used and abused by this place. I just have to start putting the checks in an account for Cole for school. Cole and his friends have been helping me build the big set pieces and its really fun with them, as long as you remember that you are with 3 17 year old boys. Clay and Bill went to get a hair cut and to make things really funny he was talking to Sandy and found out Brian is dating again. This is not the funny part hold on..... here it comes.... get ready... his girlfriend owns the Frost Watch. Jason and Brian are old childhood friends too. Boy that girl just can't stay away from anyone involved with the family. OK I just realized that sounded a little like the Mafia. Yipes!

Candy man can!

I'm telling you I'm starting to sing songs from Willy Wonka and I've only had to hear them for 2 days. My hands are fuchsia pink from painting the candy boat (looks like a giant pink dragon). Kyle was painting the Bucket's house tonight and having fun. He's the most experienced backstage person we have so we've been relying on him a lot. He's refusing to take his medication because it makes him feel really crummy. I need to call to schedule an appointment with the dr. to see what can be done before the end of next week. He's doing standardize testing (don't get me started on how I feel about these and the ACT's) and I don't want him feeling horrible for them. Kyle bowled last night and got a 95. The highest score right now is a 156. Cole won't tell me what he bowled tonight. He thought he had to work tonight but it's tomorrow and Friday. Saturday night is Sadie Hawkins day dance. The problem is the girls will all complain because the guys don't ever ask them to a dance but when it's their turn no one will ask the guy. Bill's playing BINGO tonight with the little ladies from the apartment building. They bought him his cards and are saving him a spot. The progressive pot is over $4000. It'd be nice if he would win. He'd have to buy them lunch one day if he did.

Busy weekend

We had a 50th party for a friend today. It was fun because there were people we haven't seen in a long time. I also realized some people just never grow up. Like the guy who gave his wife a valentine on Sat. and hasn't seen or heard from her since. OK? might want to try cell phone, family, police? Hello? We also had to go in and put up the set for the play so the kids can get used to the curtains starting tomorrow. Can't wait to just chill tonight. (I pretty much did this in the morning before the party too.) Back to the grind tomorrow.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Bill almost wrecked a 26 year tradition of pizza on Valentines day. He almost put a ham in the oven. He and Clay are going to make pizza tonight. They make a pretty mean pizza. Cole had to work at 2:15 and then he's got to go back and work at 6:30 tonight. Kyle's still gone to his friends house and I worked until about 2 today. We just got back from picking Clay up at his friends B-day party. It's getting pretty bad when he makes sure to tell us not to be there early. He also feels that we should let him have a party at a hotel and get him and his friends there own room because "you know we may just want to be alone without parents" . It's getting pretty bad when your baby doesn't even want you. Bill didn't help any when he fed into how great an idea this was. Have a loving warm touchy feely day today.

Friday the 13th Spooky

Well it's Friday the 13th! hopefully no one walked under ladders, saw black cats, or spilt salt without throwing over your shoulder. It's going to be a quiet night tonight here. Cole is going to a basketball game and Bill's thinking about going with him. Kyle is going to a movie and then overnight with friends. Clay is busy with a new DS game he got for Valentines day from Cupid. I am going to curl up on the couch with him and read a book. Nice and quiet. I'm ready for a night like tonight. We finished painting the backdrop for Willy Wonka. We have to put it up this weekend and then start painting the other projects 2 weeks and it's all done. It's fun now that I'm not in charge this year. Enjoy some quiet tonight.

Holy Cow!

When did valentines day get so expensive. I know cards are pricey but WOW! I went to the bargain bin to get the boys something. I found each one a game for their systems. I get up to the counter with the cards, games, and a birthday present for a party Clay's going to and can I just say sticker shock! I mean I love the boys and all but what a cost!
I decided to come home tonight and not work on the play set. The teacher I'm working with had a meeting and there were no kids there to help so I figured it was good. There's a bad cold going around work and I'm starting to come down with it. I thought a slow evening and a nice hot bath would help. So here's to knowing when to say when. Hopefully Brett has learned this by now. Please don't tell me anyone is surprised by this. Bill thinks he'll show up with the Vikings next season. I wouldn't be surprised.
