Friday we did extra school work.
So Thursday and Friday didn't get done (re: the challenge). And I didn't get caught up over the weekend because yesterday I was SUPER busy (more on that in a minute) and today was Mother's Day. No work for me. :)
Tomorrow is a new day. A day when things will get done. I'm a work in progress. I feel I'm making some progress and trying harder. I hope my boys see that, too.
So yesterday. We did so much! Adi had a soccer game (at 8:30 AM! On Saturday! Good gravy!) that we were super late for thanks to traffic delays due to a half marathon being run through downtown. Then we stopped by Goodwill to see if my sewing machine cabinet was still there....it was....but it was sold. Darn. Then to Home Depot. The boys made cute little flower planters (for meee, for Mother's Day!). Took all the boys home. Met up with my friends at the fairgrounds (where I was late because traffic was being rerouted because of that dang marathon!) for a kids consignment sale. Super scored some major necessities. Got Adi six pairs of shorts and some play shoes. Zan got some great sandals (look almost new!) and Jax snagged a a pair of super cute, brand new Robeez (that's shoes if you aren't hip to the toddler slang).
Then we went to an antique barn sale. Super neat, super inspiring, super overpriced. There will come a day when I'll pay $80 for a chalkboard with a pretty wood frame around it. That day will come the same day I spread the news that we're expecting again. (psssst: neither of those days will ever come.) But I did leave there with an amazing dictionary from 1932 to use for a few projects and more ideas than my head can process.
Then I stopped by Goodwill again. It's half off weekend and I was so inspired from the tag sale I wanted to find things to redo. Picked up a few things, came home. Exhausted. :)
Today was lovely. Got my planters from my boys (they painted them yesterday while I was gone) and super cute handmade cards. Got a lovely gift from my husband. :) Cleaned and organized Adam's game room. Hopefully he'll be able to use it as his man cave soon. :) Ran a few errands with my oldest guy. We picked up some fried chicken from Giant Eagle (uhhhh, ok, so here's the deal. We didn't count that as having dinner out because we bought it from GE and because it's Mother's Day and I wasn't cooking. So we're still on track for not eating out for the month of May. :) Besides, my idea, my rules apply.) and some CAKE!! So we had a great evening.
Now it's late and this post is so long you've likely fallen asleep (wake up, Jessie Poo!!). But that's what my weekend held. Being super busy. So tomorrow I'll be super busy at home catching up on my schedule and cleaning bedrooms. :)
Happy Mother's Day!
