Worth the wait?

Yes, I'm still alive. I haven't had a decent post in awhile and I don't know if this one is going to be any different. Just a random update on the last few days' excitements.

Let's start from the beginning.

Memorial day weekend was a nice and an enjoyable start to the summer, as it should be. We went to Hillsdale to camp with Scott's cousin, her husband, and their two kids on Saturday. It was hot. We went swimming in the surprisingly warm lake, grilled some good food, witnessed some interesting things, and came home. The next day we napped and went fishing at the Pleasanton East City Lake with Scott's other cousin. Didn't catch much, a few "throw 'em backs", but enjoyed the weather. That day I also received a message from a friend who I had not seen or heard from in along time...very surprising and yet exciting! Memorial day, itself, sucked. We spent the day painting the kitchen, picking up the house, and avoided the rain.

Last week wasn't anything spectacular, did a lot of housework, not much fun for me or the boys.
Friday my mom and dad came down and snuck the boys to KC for the weekend. To celebrate a Friday night without the kids we went to eat dinner with Scott's mom and sister and Connery. We went to JJ's in Blue Mound (Also referred to as Bollings BBQ) which has recently reopened. We got a bloomin' onion as an appetizer, I ordered burnt ends with baked beans and baked potato. I was sooooo stuffed I was miserable. Scott and I came home, watched a movie and went to bed. Saturday we woke up late, enjoyed not having to wake up early due to work or children. We did a few errands and went to shoot .22s competitively. Scott beat me by a few points...what else is new lol. After that we got ready for Danyell and Mike's wedding.

The wedding was short, sweet, and beautiful. The reception was GORGEOUS. It looked so elegant! I can't describe how wonderful everything looked. Danyell did a wonderful job!! We ate dinner and visited with other guests while Scott drank and drank and drank.... We left the reception at 11pm (after being there, with an open bar, since 6:30). Drove through Sonic to get Scott a greasy cheeseburger to curb his drunkenness and came home. While at home, we waited up to let him sober up a little and finally caved in to our exhaustion at 12:30. I was woke up at 1:30 by the bathroom door slamming, the light flickering on, and the sound of a lot of liquid hitting the floor. GREAT! Scott had gotten sick in the middle of the night, thanks to all the beer, wine, and champagne he had drank. He apparently had made it to the toilet, but hadn't bent over before letting all the booze come out the way it went in. Needless to say, I need a new shower curtain now ha! I got up to help comfort him, instantly got nauseous at the smell, and decided I'd be better off staying in bed. After he came back to bed, I could not sleep. I stayed up for a few hours and finally crashed. (Thanks hun!) I woke up at 7am to the shower running, he'd gotten up and decided to shower. We stayed up for about 10 minutes and went back to bed for awhile.

When we finally woke up for good, the boys had arrived home! They had brought with them a turtle they had found, which is now their pet. Hurray...lol. They told me about going to see the movie UP! Saturday night with my mom (which they LOVED by the way). We fixed the lawnmower tire, finished mowing our yard, and headed over to see Scott's mom. I mowed her yard for a few minutes, until the sound of the lawn mower irritated Scott's hangover and was forced to stop. We grilled cheeseburgers for lunch and I got sick. My body couldn't handle the heat, obviously. It was an unbearable 92 degrees at 2 pm, so we decided air conditioning sounded good. We came to our house, with Scott's mom, watched Wall-E, made some homemade ice cream, and watched Changeling. Kind of boring, but relaxing day.

I have several things on the agenda today: clean the house up, laundry, getting a suitable "house" for pet turtle, and finish mowing Scott's mom's yard. Maybe there will be some fun for the boys and I tomorrow...
