Memoir Monday: Dodge City or Bust

This weekend we got to go to Dodge City to visit the in-laws and have my sister-in-laws baby shower. And we had been looking forward to it ALL week.

Friday we all went to work and school but hit the road by 4. We got to Dodge by around 7 and I was so ready to get out of the car. It seemed like the drive took FOREVER. I'm not sure if it was because I drove most of the way or what but I was done with the car! We got some good and then just hung out until we went to bed around 11.

Saturday was our busy day with the shower and everything. Leo was up at 7 (hooray!) and we ate doughnuts and got ready. The hubby and I ran some errands around town and got back in time to eat lunch and finish decorating for the par-tay. The shower was a little awkward (as most family functions are) because I don't know anyone but immediate family and they were busy talking to the other friends so I was just hanging out in the corner. The mama-to-be got lots of good stuff and we had awesome cake and punch. After the shower my friend who lives in the next town over came by and we went and got pedicures and ice cream. It was pretty amazing. We hung out for the longest time and then she had to head home.

This morning my boys let me sleep until almost 11. It was magical. I got up and went upstairs and breakfast (or brunch) was being made. That was also magical! After breakfast we just hung out until it was time to go. And now we are back home. It was a fun trip but now I have nothing to look forward to until Memorial Day weekend when we are planning on going to Kansas City to watch the Royals play some baseball.

So the monotony begins again tomorrow. At 7:30. Yikes!

RTT: We're not gonna take it!

Keely’s taking a hiatus from Random Thoughts Tuesday but I’m not! Take that! Because this is the day that gives me the chance to get rid of the random that is floating around in my brain. We have found that Leo is a dreamer. The hubby and I are dreamers and so it should come as no surprise. He is also a sleep talker like I am so it makes for funny moments. Leo had one of his night fits where his leg is hurting him so he came into our room. I gave him some Tylenol and he was dosing off. The hubby and I were falling back asleep as well when we were both awakened to Leo yelling…”You can’t call me a craphead.” It freaked us out but then we both started cracking up. Apparently someone was being mean to him in his dream! Another funny thing Leo said was when we went to Five Guys for dinner on Saturday. When we got there and after we had gotten our food Leo was looking around I and I told him that he needed to pay attention to his food (which seems to be something I’ve been saying A LOT lately). He looked at me and said, “But I thought we were meeting five guys here.” We had to explain that the restaurant was called Five Guys. Another laugh was had by the hubby and I! I am on Facebook and now that I get it on my phone I seem to look at it a lot more. But one thing I am TIRED of is people who use Facebook to complain. All. The. Time. About everything. I just get annoyed. I have a few friends who are pregnant and all they do is complain. Suck it up. You chose to be pregnant, or if you didn’t choose, then you made the choice to become pregnant. If you don’t like what is going on please step away from your computer or phone and quit putting your business out there. And the others who just seem to have nothing go right in their life. I get it. Your life sucks. But obviously it’s not bad enough that you are able to access a computer and tell us all about it. How about you do something to change your attitude. Once you do that then come back and let us know. Am I being crabby about this or does this bother you to? It has been super-crazy windy lately. The weather this weekend was perfect but the wind was killer. But I’ll take wind over rain/snow any day! But let’s calm it down before this weekend because it will wreak havoc on our gas mileage when we are driving out of town! I was on Groupon the other day and there was a groupon for the wildlife park here in town. I am SO excited. My mom and I took Leo 2 summers ago and it had just opened so all the exhibits weren’t open. I would assume they should all be open now and my mom and I are going to go back and take Leo. Woo hoo! I also used a coupon to get my mom’s Christmas present to go to the melodrama. Yes…I am a coupon using fool but they are really helpful! I need to make our reservations but we went last year to the Melodrama and it was such a good time! The one this time is Glee the Melodrama. My mom is a gleek and so it should be good. And they serve dinner before and it was sooooo good last year. Hopefully it is just as good this time! One thing that I am very much looking forward to this summer is grilling out. I miss doing it in the winter and so now that the weather is warming I am ready to grill. I just need the wind to cooperate! My mouth is watering just thinking about grilling! Haha! And my final thought of the day is how do you people respond to comments? My comment form does not have where people leave their email addresses so if I wanted to reply would you suggest replying back on my post? Do people go back and see if the writer commented back? I don’t. I just leave my peace and then move along. But sometimes I want to comment back to the people who leave me some comment love and I never know how to do it. Ok so that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I hope you all have an AWESOME Tuesday and don’t let the wind blow you away!

Memoir Monday: Sesame Street Edition

My weekend was split up by a day of work on Saturday and of course all my plans for Friday fell through when I came down with a nasty sinus infection and junk in the lungs. I hit up the doctor on Friday morning after dropping one kid off for her haircut (Freckles) and the other kid of at school. I was home by 10 and slept until 2. It was definitely a much needed day of rest.

Saturday I spent the day working but Leo got to have a fun day with grandpa. They went to a family friends farm. He got to help burn a field, feed the cows and ride a 4-wheeler. I blocked out the last one because it just makes me so nervous. I picked Leo up grandma and grandpas and he was FILTHY. He is all boy and you can tell when he's been outside for any amount of time. We went home and I washed his face real good and the washcloth was disgusting. I couldn't believe how dirty just his face was. After a quick clean-up we headed out and used a gift certificate from Sports Authority and then went to eat at 5 Guys Burger and Fries. It was pretty good but expensive. We only got 3 cheeseburgers, 1 fry and 2 drinks and it cost over $20. Probably not going to be going there very frequently. But good for a treat!

And then today we just slept in a little bit. No alarms and Leo slept in until past 9. It was amazing. So we got up and the boys went and played outside for a little bit while I cooked some bacon for breakfast. And then we got to the fun part of the weekend. I won tickets to see Sesame Street Live through my work and the day had finally arrived to go.



We had a really good time but I think a 1 showtime is just too much for Leo because he was getting antsy and cranky before the end of the show and then came home and was a little hellion until he fell asleep for his nap. Since getting home we have just been watching the Royals play a little baseball and I was going to grill this evening for dinner because the weather has been so nice but the wind is a killer and with a charcoal grill it doesn't really mix well.

I hope you all had a great weekend!
