I am exhausted. Sure, I sat on my ass much of yesterday, but I could take some more sleep.
Friday evening was spent doing some Christmas shopping and then going to the AYSO round table meeting. There were only a few people there, and I can honestly say that I don’t know that this board knows that they are getting into by allowing us to be a part of things. They have been there for a really long time, and seem rather set in their ways. I am hoping that some of our fresh ideas will be met with enthusiasm instead of skepticism.
Ken ended up reffing 3 games on Saturday. This left me with the boys to work on shopping. We got a lot done. It was a trying day, though. They were none too pleased with being carted around to various locations for my shopping purposes. They had mostly calmed down by the time we got to the grocery store, but by then my nerves were fried.
Ken got home and it meant I could go on a long walk. However, Dax was super insistent on coming with me. I was not happy with this, but tried to stay positive. He was chatty, and wiped out about half way through the walk, forcing us to come home. I could have kept going, but by this point I was just too annoyed to do anything.
I cut my losses and opted for a nice hot shower. I needed to start getting ready to go to Brandy’s house for her holiday gathering. I felt much better after being clean. Ken was kind enough to make me a couple of pre-party cocktails. Aaron was driving us, so this was all kinds of happy making for me.
The party was good. I ate tofurky and found that it wasn’t bad at all. I consumed a lot of carrots. Turns out when drinking, carrots are super numtastic. Not that I don’t like them normally, but these seemed to be especially yummy. I polished off a crap ton of wine and Aaron and I stayed until he was ready to go. Probably for the best that we didn’t stay too horribly late based on my alcohol consumption.
I got home and proceeded to have a spectacular time with Ken. Ok, I am basing a lot of this on what Ken told me later. I do remember parts of it, but honestly, it has been a while since I can’t remember all of the details like that.
Shortly after the nighttime fun, I got sick. I am not surprised, nor was it truly a big deal. The worst part was the fact that I jumped up out of bed so quickly, I was crazy dizzy and managed to crash into the fireplace. I have some tenderness on my left temple. I have to admit, I was a little confused about the soreness the next morning, but I pieced it all together.
Ken went to a Lego tournament on Sunday, so it was me and the boys again. I managed to sleep in, and despite the hangover, I did pretty well. The boys and I took their school photos to my mom and then stopped at Wallmart to get a book for Bobby’s classroom gift exchange. We also picked up some donut holes since apparently it was Bolt’s birthday.
I opted to treat myself to one of the sure ways to beat my hangover; I got some Taco Bell. We got home and I sent the boys out back to play while I sat and ate and watched 30 Rock. It was bliss.
The boys’ friend, Anthony came over and the three of them ended up playing for like 4 hours. It was really cool. I was able to relax a good part of the day. Then I also did some housework, decorating and present wrapping. Considering what the afternoon could have been, it was actually quite good.
Ken got home at about 6, and the rest of the evening went pretty smoothly. I cleaned the children, including washing their new haircuts, and I even prepped their backpacks with some of the special items I needed to send in.
Sunday was a milestone for Bobby. 2 whole weeks of being dry at night. He was presented with the 4th Carson.
Dax is having some kind of mini performance on Wednesday, so I am going to go down there to enjoy the show. Friday is Bobby’s class party. Mrs Kelly asked if I wanted to come help. Depending on what time it is, I am going to try to go. Ken will go, too, if he doesn’t have a class. They are decorating cookies, so I am sending Bobby in with sprinkles and icing today. I also realize I need to take some money to Mrs. Fasheh.
The weekend coming up includes a trip to Grammie’s, possibly going to a birthday party, and Ken gone again at another Lego tournament. Friday night will be fun with going to see the Christmas lights with some peeps. I just hope people can come.
While we were at Kmart on Friday night, I was pleased when I noted most of the plus size clothing that I am used to looking for was all too big. In fact, I was looking at XL sizing instead of multiple X’s. I found a pair of pants that look pretty decent, so I am happy to have another pair of something that fits.
I need a nap.
