Sorry to disappoint but it's not going to be a drama filled post this time. If that's what you were looking for than skip this.

For the rest of you:

I had a pretty good weekend. The weekend really started on Friday, b/c Scott didn't have to work. The boys still had school, but we got to enjoy the day together. We rearranged the living room and cleaned up some of the house. It was nice getting to spend the day with him at home. After we picked Colton up from school he was whining about his tummy hurting. He took a short nap after school and guzzled some gatorade. Come to find out, it was muscle cramps. I guess he did a lot of running during recess and p.e. Friday that caused him to cramp up. Poor thing. After Colton's little nap, we headed to Paola to meet our dealer. That sounds bad but he is our dealer lol gun dealer that is. We got an email from him earlier in the week saying a gun we'd ordered in MARCH was going to be coming in on Thursday. Friday evening was the only time the dealer could meet with us. Just so happens that this gun is Scott's Christmas present this year. Anywho, after picking the gun up and heading home, we made a detour to Scott's moms to show off his new "toy". We still hadn't eaten dinner yet, so we came home and ate dinner...at 9pm. I made some quick Shake n Bake pork chops and Pasta-Roni noodles. It was very very good for being such a quick and easy meal. Saturday we got up and Scott called his mom to see if she was feeling better. Luckily she was and said she'd shower and get around and we'd go do something shortly after. We arrive and try planning out the day and then Becky shows up and camps out. Her doing this caused Pat to feel like she needed to stay there and entertain her. So frustrating. Pat hasn't felt good and finally when she does feel good, on a nice Saturday, she can't go do anything! B.S. Not to mention Becky was being a bitch! Scott and I get frustrated at the whole situation, come home and Scott decides to put up our Christmas tree....yeah, in September. After the Christmas tree went up we went back over to Pat's to re-assess the Becky situation. Thank goodness she was leaving as we showed up, which I'm sure pissed her off HA. Pat decided she wanted to get out of the house so we go to Dollar Tree and to the Bass Pro in Independence for a change. Scott got a Christmas village...what a dork I married. I wanted to get some Halloween decorations and that didn't fly...weird. We get home around 8:30 and still hadn't eaten dinner. I made some more shake n bake pork chops and Scott made some weird mashed potatoes. I wasn't feeling good and didn't eat much. We turned on a movie and went to bed. Sunday I woke up pretty early, I couldn't sleep. I felt like crap. I thought it was all allergies, now I realize its more of a head cold. Pat came over and helped us wrap the Christmas presents we had already gotten to put them under our tree. Afterward we dug through Pat's attic and garage to find our Christmas shit. Ugh. I like Christmas just as much as the next person, and don't completely disagree with putting the tree up early...but in September...with all the decorations, NO! Scott wanted to put ornaments on the tree and we compromised with just lights. He wanted to put stockings up and we compromised at letting him keep his stupid Christmas village up. Anywho, Sunday we went up to Louisburg and went to the Cider Mill. The boys picked out some pumpkins and we got a few things from their country store, including 10#s of apples. Scott wanted me to make him an apple pie like RuthAnn's. I slept the whole way back and we came home, cleaned up the kitchen and started making the pie. While the pie was baking, I lit the grill to grill some steaks and made some more Pasta-Roni noodles (on sale this week :)). We all ate dinner and then dug into the pie. Afterward we sat down to watch a movie and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I encouraged Scott to lay down in bed with me while I slept and he could still watch the movie. He fell asleep before I did lol. I slept pretty hard through the night and woke up feeling like crap. I got the boys off to school and came home and slept until it was time to pick Dakota up. Scott and Dakota watched a movie while I slept on the couch next to them. I woke up with just enough time to pack Scott's lunch and send him off to work before getting Colton from school. ...After picking up Colton, we all came back to the house and talked about their day at school and here I am. I'm hoping to feel like doing something before it gets real late. My sickness and the weather really isn't helping the situation out much. It's been crazy stormy here all day. Great sleeping weather, but not great weather if you need to get something done. We'll see how it goes..........

FYI: Haelie comes on Friday!!!
