so my hubby was gone last weekend...took a whirlwind trip with a few guys to gettysburg. i rounded up some movies and prepared to settle in for a quiet weekend. okay, so i still had my kids, but quiet evenings anyways...
saturday afternoon i took the kids to the local zoo. it was beautiful outside and i think everyone in a 2 hours radius had the same idea. but we had ice cream, got hair cuts, set up for church, and made it back home around 5. the kids started playing nicely. i had washed all the rugs in the house and had them hanging on the line. so i went to start bringing them in. our neighbor was outside with her 2 little girls. we started talking. then out came princess - she was of course crying because mapboy had been mean. a normal occurance these days. so i instruct princess to let him have some alone time and she opted to stay outside with me. i chatted over our fence with the neighbor. then the phone rings and princess brings it to me. my sil is on the phone. apparently, my father is on his way to the er because his entire left side is in intense pain. hmm....i'm to wait until brother has made it there and see what is going on. geesh...what is he doing making phone calls if he is having a heart attack? so i wait...and continue to chat.
older neighbor girl wants a stroller ride. i offer to hold the baby while she takes the daughter on a ride. yippee...i just love this little cuddle bug! so i take her and chloe and i sit on the back step to cuddle.
neighbor from across the street comes out to talk. her hubby is with my hubby so we chat over the other fence...
now let me back up...at this point i'm outside, mapboy is throwing the ball at the back door from the inside, princess is being a little whiny, neighbor's hubby is taking out bushes with a chain saw, other neighbor has their large dog out so oscar is barking like a mad dog, and i'm chatting joyfully with neigbor #2.
it is then that baby i'm holding begins to vomit. yes, vomit all over me. so being the good neighbor i turn her away from me and let it run all over the sidewalk. oscar is quick to begin cleaning it up which grosses me out. so i am shooing him away, baby vomits again, i send princess to get a towel, the phone rings again....geesh!!!! what madness!!!
neighbor arrives back. i tell her of the recent turn of events. she says she does spit up a lot. just then, more projectile vomit all down the front of mommy!!!! i hand her over the towel and she takes little one inside. then i return to other neighbor and we finish a conversation in which we have diagnosed the issues of the current culture/generation and solved them. because we are good at that! right neighbor???
oh yeah..the phone had rang....well that was sil saying my dad had another kidney stone and they would be sending him home to let it pass...
by now, princess had been filling her entire being with sand from the sand box. so we head inside to get supper and take baths. she wants a bath first. it is now 6:40...argh...what will i fix. i have no spaghetti sauce which had been the request...but papa john's is always acceptable...so papa was called, both kids bathed, a phone call from hubby and arrival of pizza at 7:15!! kids in bed at 8 and me on the couch with a movie!!
i was exhausted...but yeah, just another saturday night!!!

sounds like a normal night for any mama! ha. :) what movie did you watch? hopefully something really good!
I've enjoyed our conversations lately. It's nice to be able to chat outdoors; it seems in the winter it takes so much more effort to walk across the street! We should walk the park trail together sometime, if the weather continues to be this beautiful! Perhaps we can solve more generational problems! :) See you tomorrow
