Catch-up
So much has gone on this weekend. De being home has piled on the stress, don't get me wrong, it has been enjoyable and she has been a big help in a lot of things, but the extra kid adds extra noise and Thomas didn't have meds one day- Oy that boy is loud. And of course when princess Elle wasn't bitching about being stuck at home she was complaining about food- lack of or that she was hungry or fat *rolls eyes, or she was on the phone; hell today she was on the phone for almost 8 hours straight...well she did take food and potty breaks. She wore down the batteries on both cordless phones! The only kid I really can't complain about is James...well I prolly could, he just did not want to go to bed.
I am so lucky. Friday night Ellie took De and Thomas overnight. I needed a break. So she took them, Thomas just wanted to go, but De and Liz had been at each others throats and Ellie had asked if De could come see her so....
Saturday Tom and I went over and got wood from Ellie and Toms' and picked up the ids, so now we have a supply of wood so we can have a fire...but of course now it starts to warm up a little.
I overslept on Black friday so I only did a little shopping- plus I didn't have much money, and I didn't want to drive to Knoxville, so I only went to Morristown so no Target. :*(
I made a new pie this year- well new for me- it's called Apple Custard Pie with Cinnamon Streusel I got it from Redbook. The fam all liked it, it wasn't hard at all. Of course I cheated and used a Pillsbury pie crust- but don't tell anyone. ;-)
I dread tomorrow and getting back to the grind of driving the kids back and forth to school. I enjoyed my nice long 4 day weekend.
