Weekend
It was a decent weekend. Good even! Here are some highlights:
On Friday I stayed at work instead of going for a walk and got so much done. Then I had dinner with some high school friends (that is why I was hanging around at work), which was nice. Finally, I made it to the pharmacy before 8pm and got an entire year’s worth of the 14yo’s birth control. She doesn’t take the placebo week, but they never factor that into the refill date, and it’s a giant pain every three months (which was why I had to get it last minute, because AGAIN there was an issue refilling it). Now I don’t have to worry about it for a long time.
On Saturday, the 11yo stayed for all four classes at the dojo, which means that not only was I NOT asking for time while I was there, I was giving my husband time! He was really tired by the end of the four hours, but he sat out for half of the third class and then turned his attitude around for the fourth class. It was awesome to see him make it through the whole set of classes!
It was good he stayed with me all morning, because I was at book club pretty much all night. I left at 6pm and wasn’t home until past 10pm! It was a really good time, with my best friends, and I very much enjoyed it. It might have been the best book club yet!
Sunday, we had a slow, do-nothing morning and then both kids got to see friends in the afternoon/evening. The 11yo went to a birthday party from 3-7pm and the 14yo hung out with a friend. The 11yo and I walked to the birthday party and the 14yo and her friend walked to Grocery Outlet and back, so everyone got outside in the sunshine! A huge win!
My husband still feels bad and is starting to get really frustrated by it. He was in a foul mood all weekend, but at least by the end of it he recognized what a pill he was being and apologized. I’ll take it!
We finished the weekend off with some episodes of Parks and Recreation, and the last one we watched was one of my favorite episodes where every gets the flu and Andy (Chris Pratt) stays, Leslie, I googled your symptoms and it looks like you have… internet connectivity problems. Chris Pratt is so good on that show.
