Pass The Alka-Seltzer

Disclaimer: Michelle, I didn't not invite you on purpose. It was just a different crowd! Next time up, it's just yous and me.

What a weekend. Between the social schedule and socializing sabbatical.. my stomach hurts. Oh well, means I have to stay up late and y'all get an update.

Friday: work during the day, and play all night. Dinner was good, way more food than I needed. The club was slow. But I did get to see friends of the Goddess, Sharleen and John, which was awesome. Friday night doesn't appear to be their busy night.

All the better, though, since I was yawning before midnight. Back to the hotel room for giggling and playing. My decision to not take the camera was not necessarily intentional... though it did prove to be prudent. I don't need those girls blackmailing me. Though I guess I could have taken pictures of them!

Had to take a bit more care getting around Saturday. A downhome breakfast always tastes better the morning after. A quick visit of Cheri's granddaughter, then I had to get home.

Went and completed initial paperwork to start my part-time gig at Payless on Wednesday. The two shifts I have to work this next week? One the night following the first day of school, and the other the afternoon/night of the 12-hour scrapbook crop. It would figure.

A quick visit out to the inlaws later Saturday afternoon, and my tail is dragging. But we're not done with the day! There's still a coworker's open house at 6 p.m. I took Evan to make an appearance... but after the guac and bean dip appetizer, it was all I could handle.

Monster boy is staying with us all week. So no early Sunday morning rush to get him ready for pickup. With a clear agenda, it made the perfect day for a road trip. The site was fun and informative... which will make for a good album layout.

You can tell the kids are bored when monster boy actually WANTS to go shopping for school supplies! After determining what was still needed, we braved Wal-Mart. No, I would not have gone there unless I REALLY had to! But Target nor Dillons will carry the Benadryl-D sinus pills. And after schleping around outdoors and a pressure system moving in.... the pills were REALLY necessary.

A hundred bucks (this week!) later... monster is ready for school and the house is ready for the week. Good thing we don't have this much excitement all the time!
